CABINET FEARS
PUBLIC ANGER
British Ministers Are
Afraid to Enforce
Old Laws.
Gravity Of South African Sit
uation Increases
Daily.

LONDON. Nov. 9.-During the lengthy
Cabinet conference of this week the ques-
ton of enforcing the old ballot laws came
I'D. Some of the Ministers were strongly In
favor of putting in practice this form OF
conservation, for which certain obsolete
laws already provide. By this means new
legislation would be obviated.
Guarded feelers on this matter nave al
ready been circulated in the press, Tor IL
appears to be almost impossible TO Keep
the home forces up to adequate strength
and supply the necessary reinforcements
for South Africa volunteers. Strenuous
measures doubtless will cause storm OF
disapproval In Great Britain and the laws
will not be enacted unless the war situa-
ton becomes graver. What changes have
come over the state Of the country In two
years can be judged from the fact tnat
the War Office has closely examined the
old ballot laws and has prepared an elab-
crate plan by which they can be sprung
upon the public at a moments notice.
The Daily News exhaustiyely surveys
the concentration camps In South Africa
with the following conclusion:
1.-THE truth Is that the death rate In the
camps is incompatibly worse than any
thing Africa or Asia can show. There Is
nothing to match 1t, even In the mortality
figures of the Indian families, where chol-
era and other epidemics have to be con-
tended with"
Statistics are produced in proof of this
assertion. q
The Governments advertisement for
teachers for the camp children, setting
forth that 1.-The term of employment will
be one year certain" Is prominently dis
played as evidence that the authorities
have no intention Of ending the wholesale
destruction of human life"
The Daily News urges all humane men
not to wait for official reports but to in
sist ION the camps being broken up and
the people distributed among their friends
or removed to districts where a fresh at
tempt can be made. under competent or
ganization and with some regard to the
preservation Of life-that or determination
and an eternal stain on the name OF Eng
land"

Obituary..

Joseph l.. DugaS one of the old and
respected residents Of this city died
very suddenly Wednesday. April 10,
from the effects of a dose of medicine
which he had taken by mistake Mr..
DugaS had been poorly ever since the
accident that had befallen him about
two years ago, in which his hip was
fractured, his principal trouble being
kidney disease, for which he was TAX
ing Swamp Root. This medicine he
kept in d cupboard, with other
medicine and remedies. About 3
O'Clock on this day, he went to the
cupboard to take dose of this
medicine, but by mistake he took a
bottle containing camphOr and
acOnite, that had been left there by
his daughter, Mrs. Love. Not know
ing the contents of the medicine at
the time he took it, he did not realize
the seriousness of his mistake until a
numbneSS overlook him when his
physician, DR.. Looze was Immediately
sent for, and everything possible was
done to cOunteract the poison, but to
no avail, as his death took place about
I O'Clock.
This is very sad ending of the life
of really ideal man. He was a faith
full and loving husband, one of the
kindeSt and best Of fathers and an
altogether estimable citizen who
possessed the warm friendship and
respect of all his neighborS and
acquaintances, who sincerely mourn
his death.
Joseph L. Dugas was born in St.
Francis, Canada East, March 10, 1928.
He came to this county in 1913, worked
in the woods, made shingles and built
the Moccasin Creek saw mill in 1852.
He had been in the lumber and logging
business nearly all his life. He was
married to Miss Lucinda Cotey. at the
home of Joseph L. Cotey, her brother,
in 1859. This union was blessed with
four children, now living-Mrs. Olive
Dugas Love of Sioux City, La, Miss
Emma Dugas of Ma1rinette, Wis.
Joseph DugaS of Lansing, Mich. and
Moses Dugas, who was last heard from
at Porto Rico about six months ago.
The funeral of Mr.. DugaS was held at
the Catholic church, Saturday MORN
ing at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev.
Father van Roosmalen, and the
remains were inferred in Calvary
cemetery.

Kickers Must Turn to the Left,

The following poetic prose compost
tlOn from an unknown source will be
read with interest by many people:
st. Peter sat at the heavenly gates.
his hands on the strings Of the Tyre.
and heSings low song as he patiently
waits for the souls of those who expire.
He hears in the distance a chorus of
song that SwellS from the foot of the
heavenly throne, and he smiles as the
music is waited along, and he MARBLES
a lay of his own: There is room in
the region for millions of souls who bv
sorrow and woe are bereft: tits for
those who have suffered the melody
rolls, but the kickerS must turn to the
left. There is room for those who.
when they are young, persisted in
sowing wild oats, yet booming their
town, with sinew and tongue. but the
kicker must go with the goats.
There's room for The people who
pointed with pride to the beauty and
growth of their town., who kept sing
ing their praises aloud till they died.
but the kickers will please amble down.
They'd say that the music was all out
Of tune, and the angelic gown .:hand
me down." and they'd send for
jeweler to the moon to sample the
gold in their crown. So, While there
is room for million Of souls. who by
sorrow and wte were bereft, we want
no complaint of the music that rolls.
SO the kickerS must turn to the left.
