VIC Mother of Heroes.

Margaret Ogilvy voiced the IN
uttered cry in many womans
heart when she confessed. with q
quaintness all her own, how she
would have liked it had this or
that great man been her son.
In these days of our naval heroes
these days of such men as young
Hobson and the seven young vol
unteers who went with him-the
cry of Margaret Ogilvy comes
back to US, and every woman with
a woman's heart, must wish she
could have been the mother of such
men. Greatness, to be sure, is not
proved alone in the smoke of battle
or in the dangers of warlike adj
ventures, but for all that it is in
times of war that we see the great
est of all spectacles among men
that of one who counts his life as
nothing when he can lay it down
for the sake of another.
War brings US many evils, but it
gives US many ideals-ideals, like
guiding stars, to which the new
generation must hitch their chart
OTIS or perish. How can the moth
ers of today resist them? How
can they look to anything else
from their sons? How can they
be without that gladness which
rejoices when a son is born into
the world? For just such posi-
bilities lie in their own babes
the unwelcome babes, the babes
that are dreaded, the babes that
are never talked about lay in
those who have lived to prove their
greatness today.
Among certain orthodox Jews
every woman looks to the possibii-
ty of her being the mother of that
redeemer who has been prom
ised to her race. and governs her
life in accordance. Perhaps if
among us the possibility of our
children being built of such heroic
stuff as that of which Hobson and
his fellow volunteers were made
we're ofteuer in the mothers heart,
we would hear less of the tired
ones, the impatient, the bowed,
the rebellious, or even the ignorant.
-Harper's Bazaar.
Newspapers throughout the
State are commenting on the
wonderful coincidence that the
first man killed in the civil war
was the father of the first man
killed at Fort Sumrter thirty-sevep
years ago, the other off Porto Rico
at the age of %. Wonderful CO.
incidencel The father was killed
Is years before the son was born.
The territory of the United
States is already vast and we can
defend ourselves successfully
against any enemy that may attack
US. Our policy should certainly
be something better than the old
barbarous idea of conquest and an
nexation.

1t is all nonsense to talk about
the new war loan being popular
bond issue, in the sense that it en-
ables people of moderate means to
become bond-holders. How many
people of moderate meanes would
be able, under existing financial
conditions, to invest in govern
ment bonds? Few, very few. 1t
is, therefore, a mere farce to call it
a peoples loan.

dARION CHILCOTT TO SAIL
Owners No Longer Fear nm Attack
From the Spanish Boats.

Believing that the war with Spain is now
about over. or that at least. the condition
OF the Spanish navy is such that her

chant shipping, Barneson & Chilcott yes
terday ordered their ship. the Marion
Chilcott. to sail from Havre. France, for
Baltimore.
The Marion Chilcott loaded wheat on the
Sound for Havre last November. and was
still out when the unpleasantness with
Spain began. She reached Havre on April
Q without any trouble with the Spaniards.
and Capt. Weeden was ordered 10 keep his
vessel In port until the war cloud cleared
away. Her owners now believe that she
can make the trip across the Atlantic

blegram to Capt. Weeden instructing him
10 start. She will sail in ballas, for Bal

~. r. FORD FREED At LAST FROA
A SERIOUS CHARGE
Had Waited Six Months for . second
Trial for the Crime Charged
Against Htm-Lack Of Evidence

W. +. Ford. the ex-Methodist minister,
Ing second trial upon the charge OF lead
ing little Jessie Morford. l5-year-old girl.
astray, IS free man. The charge upon
which he was convicted was yesterday
dismissed by Judge Jacobs. before whom
Ford was tried. and who set aside the
evidence did not sustain the conviction.
The order was made in chambers yester-
day, upon the motion of Prosecuting At
torney McElroy.
The Ford case. on account of the prorni-
hence OF the accused in politics as well as
church circles. was one OF the most sen
sational ever tried in the superior court.
AS to Ford's guilt or innocence. public
opinion was greatly unsettled. Some
thought him a Send incarnate. and others.
including his friends. held him up ;.s
victim of conspiracy and persecution.
After his conviction Ford obtained much
additional evidence going 20 show that
he was absent from the city at the time
the crime was alleged TO have been COM
mitted, and when this wss submitted At
the hearing of a motion for a new trial IL
weighed very strongly. it is said, fer the
success of the motion.
Ii has been pretty well undsrst DOL ever
since a new trial was granted that In all
probability Ford would never again be
called upon to fend himself against the
charge. The ordeal through which the
prosecuting witness and her relatives
were compelled TO go during the trial Made
them very reluctant TO appear in court
again. and i; was upon their request. that
the case has been dropped, although the
improbabiity Of securing second ccnsic-
ton under Judge Jacobs rulings al the
former trial also figured TO some extent.
The Morford girl is said TO have left The
city permanently. Ford is sttll here. Part
of the time since leaving 1he ministry he
has, ii Is said, been employed as Gem
mercial traveller.

promptly granted. however. City En-
gineer Thomson was given permission to
