to her home and here she was queen.
For her husband, her son, Arthur,
and her daughter. Miss Maude, she
lived and made a charming home
circle. Notwithstanding this She
found time to live a life of helpful
ministry to the community in many
ways. Her home was frequently
open te entertain the guests of the
different organizations; she was a
valued and an active member Of the
Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist
church: she showed her interest in
the University IN various ways. not
ably ill., past year by membership
and an active interest in the Wom-
ans P~rofessorship Association: and
she rendered aid to numerous organi-
cations OF which she was not a mem
Der.
Mrs. Hager's parents were COM
municants of that oldest form Of the
Christian Church, the Roman Cath
lollc, and her early training was i'm
that faith. AS she grew to woman
hood she showed a preference for the
Protestant church, and her reverence
for the faith of her parents, a rev.
erence In every way c~Ommendable.
perhaps accounts for the fact that
she never definitely united with the
church Of her choice, but she was
nevertheless a regular attendant
upon the Methodist church when
ever her health permitted, and those
who knew her best knew that she
led the prayer life, that she was a
devout worshipper, and they recog-
nized her life as one of christian
ministry. Her own word of exhor-
tation it was which finally led her
son into the Methodist church and
her interest was manifested in var
tous ways. Her last illness was pain
full. She bore her suffering with
lchristlan fortitude and assured her
friends that she had no fear Of
death. What a sense of bereavement
came to this community when the
news came that she had departed!
How u sympathy went out to this
stricken family. Such are the ten
derness of the relations, so deep the
sense Of loss, so pathetic the circum-
stances, that I am sure We shall have
greatest kindness to these our great
ly bereaved friends by making our
words few, but they are none the
less appreciative because their num-
Der is small. A good woman has
gone: the community is poorer; we
are all in grief: we "a only offer our
poor human sympathy and pray that
the great sympathetic divine heart
will supply what our poor human
limitations prevent us from supply

THREE GREAT RACE DAYS
Fast Time. Good Weather. Clos

Magnificent Success.

Secretary Boynton, who had charge
Of the races last week, can certainly
feel elated owe the success that re-
suited from the meeting. He had
ii fine string Of entries in all of the
races and practically every event
was contested for in every heat from
start to finish. Mr.. Boynton had
many interests to look after during
the meeting but everything passed
off smoothly. There was one good
thing about the races that was high.
ly satisfying to the horsemen-their
money was ready for them immed-
lately after the purses were won. and
they go away feeling that they have
been used right by the management.
Castlewood remained the favorite
in the free-for-all pacing race. and
won the third and fourth heats. In
the third heat he broke the record
for the track, making the mile in
2:l5 l-2. In the fourth the horses
scored nine times before they were
sent Off, the driver of Coney making
the most trouble. 1t was paced in
2:l7. 1t was d great race all through
and it is very seldom a bunch of
horses like these can be found in a
$3.50 race. Ccney failed to make the
winning that his mark lead a good

ter the first heat the horse showed a
better disposition to get to the wire
first, and in each heat he was push
ing the rest along for the place,
The money was divided: Castlewood
first, Miss Hopping second, BETTY
Walker third, and ',oney fourth

2:45 trot and a couple Of the horses
got a record, which puts them into
faster company hereafter. Niagara
took the first two heats and then
Kelley disputed the other two with
the Sioux Falls horse, and won
them, the fourth being done in

Niagara took the fifth heat and was
assisted by Kelley breaking during
the first half mile. The money was
awarded to Niagara, Kelley, Johnnie
King. and F.ossie G.
The consolation race was won by
Kitty o, with Oak Day second and
Rec Jane Thrill, the time for the half
mile being 81 seconds.
There we're live entries in the mile
bicycle handicap. Evans was on the
scratch. Patterson aud Ha1ker had 80
yards, and GullickSon and Patterson
had 60 yards The handicap proved
a snap for Evans, for he had his men
beaten in the first half mile, and
came out the winner in 2:49, Har-
ker second, Ralph Patterson third,
and Gullickson fourth.
A special race was run between
Rusticus and Sue. which was a snap
for Sue. She took the lead and
Rusticus was never in danger OF pass
ing her.
Messrs. Stair and Jones gave an
exhibition run OF the motor bicycle
at the close of the program and their
machines displayed considerable
speed.
Practically all OF the horses were
shipped to Chamberlain for the
races which commenced there on

bullet, she was arrested on a charge Of

house. The police found the apart
ments deserted. Mrs. Bailey and Miss
Grabner could not be found 1t was
learned that the woman had rented the
apartments few days before, and that
she gave the name of Mrs. Miller
The theory of the police is that Mrs.
Bailey shot Miller while in a Jealous
rage, because Of his failure to name a
definite day for the wedding. Mrs.
Bailey maintains that Miller through
jealousy plotted to kill himself in such
a manner as to make her appear guilty
of numbering him.

does not work out in practice. Certain
laws restrain irresponsible and vicious
publications. Other statutes put a
check upon speech that is incendiary
or immoral. But there is no restraint
upon the stage, which sometimes
strains the limits OF decency and,-with
the help of the ignorant or vicious, in
dulges in teachings that are pernicious.
A play that glorifies the James boys
must be demoralizing to the young.
They were evil men, outlaws Of bloody
instincts, INSCRIPTIONS as professional
thieves and murderers always are. We
have no patience with the men who
would excuse their career because
they were, in their family. the victims
of an earlier set of criminals. The boy
whose home is so lax in it's guardian
influences that he is permitted to wit
ness such a play as that which has
been built upon the bloody deeds of the
James brothers, is precisely the sort of
boy who would be impressed by the
lesson of the play. He would be likely
to accept as heroes these bandits, and
if he have any tendency to evil ways,
would find justification for it in the
play.

We have become so accustomed to

exercise of his functions abroad that it
is not easy to admit that he has any
uses. The presentation of such a vi
cious drama as that which is now run

scoundrelly bandits whose names were
for years a reproach to the West are
held up to view in the light of heroes
is calculated, however, to prove that a
censor of the drama might be made a
moral force in this country.
The attitude of the American people
towards a censorship is based upon the
presumption that the people are the
best judges Of what is good for them.
The license Of the stage is a concom-
liant of the theory which preserves
liberty of speech and of the press. The
theory is not altogether sound, and it

Southern Democracy Contagious

Pure Democracy has never been
found in this country, except in the
South. The Southern people are Dem
ocrats by inheritance, by education, by
environment, by the force of circum-
stances and situation. There has been
little infusion of foreign blood, and the
few immigrants who have come in
have been easily absorbed and affiliat-
ed. Some of our most enthusiastic
Confederates during the war were men
of Northern birth. The most intolerant
Confederate We ever knew was a
woman who was born and reared in
the city of Philadelphia, but who mar
ried a Southern man and spent the
major portion Of her life in the state
of North Carolina. Some of our most
pronounced Southern men today, in all
that that designation implies. are men
