After Honeymoon Couple Will Separate
TIL I,,n> - T.et AHs.e4;,,

After Honeymoon Couple Will Separate
Till June to Test Affection.
With bis mother absent from the
ceremony to which she was opposed.
Mason NJ. Wilson, reported to be heir
to much money. was married the
other afternoon in Philadelphia to
Miss Nellie NJ. Herman. Their honey
moon Is to be short lived, in accord
ance with plan proposed by the
bridegroom's mother.
When the couple return after a
two weeks honeymoon Wilson is to
live with his mother at Oil Chestnut
street and the bride is to go to the
home of her parents at 2412 Catharine
street. This arrangement is to con-
tinue until June. If then they will
care for each other Mrs. Wilson has
promised not to disinherit her son and
Will help him to 60 to housekeeping in
the fall.
Mrs. Wilson objected to the mar
rage on the ground that Miss Herman
was not her sons social equal. Miss
Herman was formerly a salesgirl in a
department store.

Thomas II. Thomas.

Rock Island mourns the loss of an
other well known citizen and good
man. T. H. Thomas, former postmas-
ter, man who stood high in the ranks
of estimable citizenship, who had
filled numerous positions of public
trust with distinction, is no more. In
dependent in character, yet steadfast
in his devotion to right as he saw it,
unflinching in his fealty to his friends,
he was of that type of men who live
in the hearts of those who were near
est to them after the tenement of
clay that has contained a good heart
has been deserted.
To those to whom he was attached
Mr.. Thomas was a great and good
friend. Willing to make sacrifices
for the ones whose confidence he en-
joyed, whether in politics to which he
was devoted, or in private life, he was
equally worthy as a foeman. Honora-
BILE in friendship, those who knew him
stood by him. Honorable in combat
he challenged the admiration of his
opponents. He loved the turmoil of
political strife, and was willing to take
the knocks along with the fortunes of
the controversy. Toward those he
knew he bore no i'll, because of politi-
cal differences, however severe.
Serious in his nature, he was jovial
among his friends. He delighted in
jest, and was fond of good fellowship.
He loved his home, he loved his
friends, and it was to those who best
knew him that the beautiful traits of
his character were revealed in his
love of nature and his fondness for
children. No child ever passed him
unnoticed. 1t was his habit to stop
children on the street and to exchange
a kindly word with them. He imme-
diately dropped his work when they
entered his store, and as if by impulse
went forward to greet them ELECTION
,ately, and often to give some little
remembrance.
Reserved in some things, he was
outspoken in others. He appreciated
sincerity and loyalty; he despised n.y.
pocracy and disloyalty. He lived a
staunch life. With characteristic phi
losophy and calm resignation he gave
it up. 49,
In the sadness and sacredness of
the thoughts that go back to other
days the memories that cluster about
the man who is gone are among the
most to be treasured.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-12-28
To Discuss Crime.

These are days of national and in
cooperation. Governors of
every state in the Union are planning
to preserve forests, to improve water
ways, and to protect natural resources.
National business, civic, industrial and
charitable bodies meet annually to i'm
world join in fighting the great white
plague and hold congress and exhibit
in Washington Worlds fairs and ex-
positions are binding the countries of
the globe into closer union. And now
Europe and America are planning to
meet in Washington in 1910 and dis
cuss means and methods to stop the
making of criminals.
This meeting of the International
Prison congress has the backing of
Secretary Root who has asked con-
gress for $4,000 to aid in showing the
foreign delegates what this country
has accomplished in improved methods
of dealing with crime, especially in the
direction of Juvenile courts, probation,
child saving and other reformatory
agencies.
This 1910 meeting will be the eighth
since its organization in 1871 when
congress passed resolution authoriz-
ing President Grant to send a commits
Isioner abroad to secure the cooper
alton of European governments in the
prevention and treatment of crime
F. C. Wines of Illinois, the distinguish
ed penologist, was appointed first com
missioner from the United States
Since that first meeting in London
other congresses have met in Stock
holm. st. Petersburg. Paris, Brussels
and Budapest. They have studied
studied criminal law, environment
heredity, alcoholism, administration OF
courts, treatment of offenders, criminal
labor, international comfy and inter
national law. Secretary Root has real
lied the Importance of getting at tn:
real sources of crime; for modern pen
toIogy recognizes that it is useless tc
try to stop the flood of crime at the
mouth of the stream. 1t is to be hoped
that congress will have the same broad
viewpoint of Secretary Root and grant
the appropriation that will make the
1910 meeting in this country success
