'rWhile the Commoner is published prl-
marily for the discussion of questions af-
fecting government, sociology, and poll
teal economy, 1t seeks to serve the In
terests of the family In every useful way,
and 1t urges upon It's readers the impor-
lance of a reasonable summer vacation.
While 1t is endeavoring to secure condi-
lions that will permit an increasing
proportion to enjoy the luxury of refresh
Ing rest 1t reminds its readers that even
under present conditions many shorten
their lives by working more continuous
ly than is absolutely necessary. A sum-
mer vacation need not entail a great
amount of expenditure. short period,
even a week. Of absolute relief from the
daily round of daily work and care is
like an oasis. 1t not only strengthens a
person for a longer service, but makes
the service more pleasant. 1t usually
would require but a little scarifice on the
part of the husband and children to en-
able the wife and mother to secure this
respite. Sons and daughters often throw
away every year in useless expenditure
enough money to pay for the mother 8
outing and certainly they would find
more pleasure in seeing her freshened
and invigorated than they can find In
spending the sum upon themselves. In
return for the great care that the moth
er gives and the constant sacrifice that
she makes from the time the child Is born
until 1t reaches the grave she ought to
be able to count upon a consideration that
Is too often withheld. This would be a
good year to Marguerite the change.

how much happiness you Will get out of

NOTE OF WARNING.

The Little Rock Democrat sounds
the following note of warning, which
is quite appropriate:
Why this haste in the purchase of
a state convict farm? The state legis-
lature will be in session soon and the
board of penitentiary commissioners
can have the advantage of advising
with that department of the state
government. We believe the state
ought to own a farm upon which to
work her convcts, but those who buy
it will have to be careful or some man
very much interested in the deal will
get a large-sized rake-off which the
tax payers will have to pay. Don't
involve the state in a large deal where
suspicious circumstances will sur
round it. This is rather plain talk
we grant you, but if is not calculated
to interfere with the plans of any
honest man.
The Democrat is right. There can
be no necessity fcr undue haste, and
the state should not be "gOuged" in
the purchase of farm. as there will
re doubt be various efforts to ''gouge." ;"
If the authorities do nct protect the
states interests somebody will I'M
load a big plantation on the taxpayers
at double its value, and for double
the price which has heretofore been
asked fer it on an offer of sale to
private parties. Such deal would
also involve the state authorities
under the suspicion that they are par
ties to the "gouging" process in
financial way
