them an opportunity for elementary edu-
cation and physical development sufficient

In promoting the enforcement Of laws re-
lating to child labor; to coordinate, unity

A REMARKABLE FEAT
WIRELESS MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENTS SHIP.

The wireless telegraph station at the
Washington navy yard was in communica-
ton with the armored cruiser West Vtr-
ginia, on which President Roosevelt is a
passenger, from 2:o7 until 5:15 o'clock this
morning. The message picked up In trans
mission was passing from the West Vir-
ginia to the armored cruiser Colorado,
which, with the Pennsylvania. is to accom-
pany the f1rst-named vessel up the coast.
and stated that the West Virginia would
probably Join the Colorado and Pennsyl-
vania off Key West about noon today.
AS soon as the noise Of the machinery
and engines at the yard began. before z
o'clock this morning, it became impossible
for the wireless station to communicate
further with the cruiser, but 1t Is expect
ed that communication will be restored
when the work ceases and the yard Quiets
down about nightfall.
The feat OF communicating from WASH
ington to vessel in the Gulf Of Mexico,
about !, 100 miles distant, and mostly over
land is regarded as remarkable.
Naval officials are watching with consid-
cradle interest to note the success that will
be attained by the armored cruiser West
Virginia in keeping in communication with
the mainland by wireless telegraphy as she
bears the President northward on his return
from the south. 1t IS the aim Of the naval
authorities ultimately to so perfect the wire
less system along the Atlantic Seab0arG that
vessels sailing up and down the coast may
be kept In the closest possible touch and
that ships may be communicated with at
the greatest possible distance from shore.
Wireless stations have been installed at in
tervals all along the coast from Cape Cod to
New Orleans, and plans already have been
formulat ted to bring the Isthmus of Panama
in direct wireless communication with the
United States.
The wireless stations between the Gulf Of
Mexico and Hampton roads with which the
West Virginia may communicate are as fol-
lows: New Orleans, Pensacola, Key West.
Dry Tortugas, Jupiter Inlet, st. Augustine,
Savannah. Ga, Charleston Qightship). Dia-
mond Shoals Qightship) and Cape Henry,
Va. These are not all government stations
nor have all those Installed for the govern
ment been accepted as yet. But all are
working and available for the reception of
messages from the West Virginia.
Congratulating the President.
AS soon as the West Virginia got In
touch with the wireless station at Key West
today the first message to be transmitted
from the shore to the big cruiser was q
personal one from Mrs. Roosevelt to the
President congratulating him OH the forty
seventh anniversary Of his birthday. This
message was sent last night from the Navy
Department to Key West with Instructions
to deliver to the President at the first op-
portunity.

WATERMELoNs AND MORALITY.
Desire for Beer Is at It's Lowest Ebb
in Texas

III 164dA
From the San Antonio Express.
"Our Sundays now show a large decrease
in the number Of 5ags." said Sergeant John
Fitzhenry at police headquarters. Have
you thought of the reason for this? There
Is reason for 1t and only tumbled upon
1t the other day. Look at the records for
the past month and see IL what tell you IL
not true as to effect Now as to the cause
1t is simple. I don't know whether the min
listers and the saloon men realize it or not.
but the watermelon as a moral factor is
equal to ten policemen.
How do L know? Simply by studying
causes and effects. We can see the effects
here Of some cause which has decreased the
number of Sunday jags. There Is just as
much beer to be had lust as much made
It's just as cold and tastes just as good as
ever. Men like 1t as well now as they did
in April. They have the same means OF get
ting 1t.
but they don't drink as much Why7
Because they eat watermelons. There's
nothing so cooling as a watermelon off the
Ice 1t slakes the thirst well as anything
else. and after eating large. juicy slice no
man will have any desire left for a cold
frothy stein, no matter what his tastes may
be- This Is a fact.
''The watermelon is the only fruit know
OF which asserts positive moral influence
records Of the police department. Take the
classes of people who usually pay us a visit,
and fine. too. II they get drunk. They can
get good melon for ten cents and they
prefer that to beer. Hence we have fewer
jags. fewer visitors and collect less money
In fines. Put the watermelon down as q
positive moral factor and you will make no
mistake"

RELUCTANCE TO WED.
"Undue Education Of Women" One Of
the Theories Advanced.

From the Boston Herald.
Statistics show that there Is great de-
cline in the marriage rate. Such are the
facts and figures, about which there can be
no disputing. 1t is when we come to the
reasons for their being what they are that
we tread on debatable ground. Various
persons have different theories to account
for the growing reluctance to enter the
bonds OF matrtmony.
One thinker. DR.. John Pollen, an Anglo
Indian official. OF great and varied expert
ence Of men and things, says that 1t is the
undue education of women on masculine
lines that initiates against matrimony, and
that such training Is to be deplored On
the other hand. Mrs: Perkins Gilman. an
American lecturer. contends that woman
should do less housework, and by develop
ing her mind become a more worthy part
ner of man. to the great benefit Of the
world.
In this controversy there is, as usual.
some truth on both sides; and the solution
OF the difficulty lies In frankly recognizing
that fact. and endeavoring to reconcile the
apparently conflicting claims
Women should be educated in mind body
and soul 1t ts the want Of education in
the past that has led to the demand for
over-education now. 1t is not necessarily
ent; and that individual Is the best that
best fulills the law of being, whether man
or woman. husband or wife. father or
mother. =
There cannot be one standard of duty or
perfection for the two sexes, and 1t II in
comparing the one with the other that the
conflicting schools of education both 60
wrong. A woman should not be trained to
become a mannish woman, but a womanly
woman. Whether she helps her to become
most herself-the nearest to the ideal Of q
perfect woman-that Is the best for her.
In complex civilization such as ours
there is room for professional women as
well as domestic women and lady DOCTORS
teachers inspectors and possibly barristers,
all have an important part to play espe-
cially in looking after the interests OF their
sex. But the great function, the true voca-
tion. Of women Is now, as In the beginning,
to be a helpmeet for man, to be the mother
and trainer of the children who will be
men and women OF the future Men will be
forced to realize and respect her position
and will deem 1t an even greater honor to
seek her alliance in matrimony; and from
the mutual respect and appreciation of man
and wife VIII spring the greater happiness
of the race.

From the Technical World Magazine
In twenty-four hours the people of one

l00000.000 cubic feet OF gas. which costs

Of electric lighting has been estimated at

Death of Mrs. Jas. FARMLAND

Mrs. James Frankland, for a num-
Der of years a resident of this county
and well known on Lopez and San
Juan islands, died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. r. G. Kinleyside, at
Auburn, King county, Friday morn
ing, May 26, aged 63 years. She had
been in poor health for a long time.
Friday morning she arose about
seven o'clock and started a fire in
the kitchen stove, but feeling i'll she
soon lay down again and died almost
Immediately, supposedly from paral-
ysis, of which she had had two light
shocks. She was an earnest member
of the Methodist church and during
her residence in this county was act
i've in church work both here and at
Lopez. Her husband, two sons and
two daughters survive her. The
funeral took place Sunday in Seattle,
the service being conducted by Rev.
DR.. W. S. Harrington.
Mrs. Frankland was born in Provi-
dence, r. L., Aug. IL, 1912. She
came to Seattle in 1883 and to Lopez
island in 1893. She was married to
James Frankland on Dec 25, 1862.
Although in poor health for some
time, her death has come as shock
to all, as her condition had not been
such as to Indicate that she might
not live for some years yet. For
about week previous she had not
been as able to be around, but during
the night of the R5th and 10Th she
was restless and passed away about
$50 in the morning, WITHOUT much
warning to anyone.
Mrs. Frankland and the late Mrs.
A. FL. Sitter were both born in Provi-
dence, r. l., on streets only one
block apart, and after many years
they met in San Juan county and be
come very intimate friends and they
were taken away within a short
time Of each other.

ARRESTED FOR
WOOL SMUGGLING
ALFRED BURKE, AN OLD PIO.
NEER, IN CUSTODY
His Boat Taken and About Half a
Ton of Wool Seized in w. E.
Sutherland's Warehouse at Orcas.
Burke Taken to Seattle.

Alfred Burke, one of the pioneers
of the northwest and among the old
est settlers of San Juan county, was
arrested at his home on Blind bay,
Shaw island, Thursday afternoon by
Deputy Customs Collector Culver,
for smuggling wool from the British
Columbia islands and disposing of it
to W. E. Sutherland, the well-known
merchant of Orcas. His boat, a big
broad-beamed skiff, painted a dark
lead color, was seized, and also about
half a ton of wool found in Mr.. Suth-
erland's warehouse. The customs
officials have long believed Mr.. Burke
to be engaged in smuggling, but he
has been SO very cautious and expert
in bis work that it has been no easy
matter to secure evidence sufficient
to justify his arrest. For several
weeks Customs Inspectors Dean, of
Port Townsend, and Ballinger, of
Seattle, have been doing some very
efficient work among the islands on
both sides Of the boundary, working
on this side in connection with the
deputy collector here, to whom they
have reported from time to time for
consultation and instructions. They
had a most difficult and trying task
and performed it well. The officers,
together with Mr.. Burke and Mr..
Sutherland, who went as a witness
and friend of Mr.. Burke, left on the
revenue cutter Arcata early Friday
morning for Seattle, where it is ex-
pected that the preliminary examin-
alton will be held today before Court
Commissioner.Keife

A considerable amount of wool has
been sold here this week at ~ cents.
Local buyers estimate the total clip
of this island is about twenty tons
and the clip of the remainder of the
county is probably ten tons. Farm
ers generally say that the feeces are
light this year It is doubtful if the
average weight is much over five
pounds.
