Of being or trying 60 be a helpmate 30
a friend TO those who need one. if possi-
bic, has always been more than sufii-
cient to me, and have always felt sat
iSfied with il.
But then the financial question which
drives so many wives TO outer work has
never troubled me. While none of the
funds of the household have been tech
nically mine, nine by right of specific
earning. they have all been mine in tho
real meaning of the term, and have
never been questioned concerning my
disposition of them. So this rt ason for
considering the question of rShould
wives work ?'-to work outside their
own homes-has never come to me.
For the rest, believe the time is
coming, must come for the world .
good, " hen every woman will be an in
dependent factor in the home economics
So / suppose all wives will have to
work, but whether by doing as am
doing or in the outside world really
don't know. Every woman should do
her fair share of the worlds work, at
home OF somewhere else. and it seems
to me that 50 long as she does that it
doesn't matter where or how she does
lit. As a matter of fact, most wives do
work and work hard. just how and
where they work is a secondary consid-
Grafton, as view the matter. Personal

easier than searching, the task Of
keeping away is easier thanafching'
so that the advantage in . hideandH
seek game must lie with the hiding
squadron even when the opposing
squadron is Of equal speed. When
the speed Of the hiding squadron a
materially greater its advantage is
many fold greater. And this ad-
vantage Admiral Cervera had for in
this game the fighting advantage OF
the American squadrons was Of no
avail.
But without plenty Of coal 'Ad-
miral Cervera's running advantage
dissapears. And coal was a scarce
article with him. To get coal he
could not avoid turning up every
little while at some port for coaling
or at some sheltered spot where ht
could reooal from ships sent to him
But he could not fill his bunkert
when he turned up at a neutral
port. He was only permitted t.
take enough coal to carry him tt
the nearest friendly port And onct
having coaled in this unsatisfactory
manner at one Of the West lndiaI
islands of neutral power he could
not look further to the coal depots
on the islands of that power fol
further supplies. Thus he was re-
ported to have taken coal first at q
French, then ut Dutch island
From getting further supplies from
French or Dutch islands he was
therefore estopped. He might have
gotten a little coal at some other is
lands, but it must have been clear to
him that, dependent on coal that he
might get from neutral powers, he
would soon become helpless for want
of fuel.

.iGuiral Sampson and his ,.ids
were subjected to much impatient
criticism because Admiral Cevera
evaded them as long As he did. No
fault would be found if Admiral
Cervera had evaded being entrapped
vet a while. If he had not chosen
TO entrap himself, to choose the trap
in which he would be caught trap
in which he could make better
defence than if caught in a trap on
the high seas and OF his adversaries'
choosing, the chances are that he
would yet be unentrapped. If Ad-
miral Sampson had succeeded in
forcing him into battle, great credit
and unstinted praise would have
been his due. And that praise
would have been unbounded, that
credit promptly given if, having
located the Spanish squadron, he
had caught and destroyed it, no one
need doubt. ButifAdmiral Cervera
had not slipped into the trap laid
for him, or into trap of his own
choosing, and had again lost himself

the Caribbean, despite the activity
of the American naval scouts, un-
reasoning criticism, it is much to be
feared, would have been turned on,

have turned to praise if a few day,
later Sampson laid a second trap ant

Colfax. La, March 2

Colfax. La. March q, 1885,
Pursuant to published call about forty
citizens assembled at the court house in
Colfax at noon this day.
On motion H. G. Goodwin was called
to the chair and asked to state the OBJ
ject of the meeting.
]. A. Williams was elected secretary.
The chair stated that the meeting lad
been called for the purpose of consider
ing the proposition lately submitted by
Dr.. s. w. Brown and Capt. G. @. Hen
derson asking for tax OF five mills for
ten years from wards l, 6 and 7, Of Grant
Parish, in aid of the Arkansas Southern
Railway, TO be built from Junction City,
Ark. to Port Arthur, Texas.
Also the chair stated that a number of
the citizens desired to discuss the posi-
bility of securing an extension of the
Edenborn road through Grant parish,
and to make some effort to this end.
q. II. Teal explained that bis connec-
ton with the Waltz road in no way pre-
vented his hearty cooperation in any
and all measures to secure a railroad
through this section. He thought the
Waltz road had in some way been handi-
capped by the war scare, and it was pos
sible this road may yet prove reality.
A. A. Dean and John Randolph, Of
Paramount, were decidedly in favor of
putting ourselves in touch with the Eden
born people. They both favored tax
for any road that would give us an out
let to the markets of the world.
jill McNeely favored tax for both
oads-if one was good two would be
better--and both of the proposed roads
would be of great benefit to the people Of
this entire section.
DR.. ]. F. Kelly also favored the tax
and immediate action.
& W. w. Smith. W. J. Swor, J. H. Che
lette and Bud Roshto were Of the opin-
ION that the proposition would be met
with favor by the citizens Of wards 8 and
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1898-03-26

As between wards and the dispro-
portion is still greater for the second
week. The voters of ward Z will out
number those in ward 8 about three to
one, yet ward gets only l juror, while
ward has Z. 1t is certainly remarkable
that to l jurors should show up in fa-
vor OF ward 5, and it is also somewhat
unfortunate for the cause OF justice. as
it raises the idea that criminals from that
section will have an undue "pull'' by
being able to get their friends and neigh
bors to sit on their cases.

z, and all expressed their willingness to
extend the aid proposed.
On motion of John Randolph, second
ed by j. H. McNeely, the chair was re-
quested to appoint committee of fifteen
five from each warO to meet in Colfax
at noon, ON Monday, March %. 1893, to
formulate and execute such plans as may
be necessary to carry into effect the desires
and intentions of the citizens of the wards

Mr.. John Randolph requested that

quested to notify such members of the
