Death of hrs. Fred Tomlin.

Mrs. Fred Tomlin died at her home
in this city yesterday morning after
a sickness of about three weeks dur
ing which time her friends and neigh
bors have anxionsly awaited news of
her condition, and have hoped that
the outcome might be different. For
the past week she had been very low,
and the news of her death yesterday
caused profound feeling of sorrow
for the departed and of sympathy for
the sorrowing ones left behind.
Deceased, whose maiden name was
Alice Helena Van Kleek, was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Van
Kleek, and was born at Van Kleek
Hill, Ontario, Canada, August 4th,
1867. There she lived with her par
ents, until the family moved here in
1887, and she has since made her
home in and near Morris. She was
married to Mr.. Tomlin on Oct. 3rd,
1893. To them were born six children,
of whom three boys and one girl are
living.
Mrs. Tomlin is survived also by
her father, John Van Kleek, of Mile
Lac, by her sisters Maud and Marion
Van Kleek, of Minneapolis, Mrs. s. j.
Smith, of Princeton and Mrs. FL. NJ.
Bixby, of Richville, Mimi, and her
brother, Sterling Van Kleek, of Wal
halla, N. D. All will be present for
the funeral.
During the many years Mrs. Tomlin
has made her home in this vicinity
she formed large circle of friends
among whom she was held in the
highest regard, while among the
members of her immediate family,
she was most affectionately loved for
her many excellent virtues in the
home as wife and mother. The most
heartfelt sympathy is extended to the
sorrowing husband and father, and
the other relatives and to the children
who are at a tender age deprived of
the loving care of a mother.
The funeral will be held on Sunday
afternoon at O'Clock from the house.

dates and places for the rest of their

decided upon but music lovers in ev-
cry city where they have been heard,

success Of their venture is already as
sured.
Those cities which are to hear

the entire two weeks will be given to
recital work, though their list of en-
gagements is not yet quite completed.

NEWSPAPER READERS.
Their Public Duty to Demand Res
poEsibie Newspapers.

President Arther T. Hadley, OF Yale
University, in recent article in the
Youths Companion on. "The Public
Duty of Newspaper Readers" said:
"Among the many reforms which
are needed in American politics, "a
reform in the spirit in which we read
our newspapers is one of the most i'm
portant.'
ssOur statute books are full of in
stances of laws which are evaded or
nulIified because they have not the
public sentiment of the people be-
hind them. The newspaper are the
chief agents in forming public opin-
ion. This used to be done by courts
of law and by political assemblies,
but the modern newspapers has sup
planted both as forum of public dis
cussion and as means of public educa-
ton.
ga hundred years ago intelligent
men used to learn about the workings
of the law, either by serving on juries
or by reading the decisions of the
judges, but the jury service is today
managed so badly that in most of the
states no intelligent man wishes to
serve on jury if he can help it. And
If he does have to serve on a jury he
does not gain an understanding of the
law as much as a contempt for the
way in which criminal lawyers are
allowed to misapply it. And most of
the decisions of present day judges
on questions like railroad manage
ment or the equities of taxation are
so much occupied with precedent and
so little actual facts that they have
very slight effect on public opinion.
'Nor do the people get the instruc-
ton from political speech which
they did two Or three generations ago.
Political speakers may address en-
thusiastic meetings, but their addresses
are appeals to the emotions of men
who have already formed their views
rather than deliberate discussions
with view to aid in their formation.
'Iong before the great public
speeches have been made on questions
at issue the facts have been set be-.
fore the people in the news columns

of the papers and the arguments
drawn from them with more or less
care in the editorials, so that speech
in the senate or the house of repre-
sentatives serves rather to register
the reason for decision already
formed by the voters than as means
of influencing any man or arriving at
a common understanding on any
measure. The invention of the tele-
graph and the immense news gather
ing agencies have made the news
paper press the source through which
the people go to get their facts and
the real forum in which public issues
are discus sed.
'sIf you want responsible govern
ment we must have responsible news
papers. If we are to have responsible
newspapers the reform must begin
with the readers themselves. The
newspaper reader must get into the
habit of seeing whether the state
ments of fact in his paper are sup
ported by evidence or not.
"It is impossible for country to be
well governed unless the people who
do the reading are in the habit of
weighing evidence. II they shut
their eyes to all facts except those
that they like the government will be
at the mercy of passion and pre-
judice.
eff every boy can understand that
it is political duty to give to the
public business of the country the
same kind of treatment that a sue
cessful man gives to his private busi-
ness and to adapt his conduct to the
facts instead of trying to adapt the
facts to his conduct and public busi-
ness win quickly be brought up to the
same level of our best private busi-
ness. And there is no way in which
this can be done so surely as by be-
ginning at. the bottom and reading
newspapers in that spirit"

Political IltOXiCatiOn.

Judge William Hodges Mann
was rushed in at the meeting of
the Farmer Convention to discuss
the subject of agricultural educa-
ton, regularly assigned on the
program TO the Superintendent Of
Public instruction, who was not
present. The subject was interest
ing; the audience expectant; but
the occasion for a political haran-
que was too tempting, and the OPP
portunity could not be lost. Pos
sibly at some future time our
friends will be enlightened on the
subject.
As the Farmers Institute is in
no sense a political organization,
the propriety of the performance
might seem questionable; but we
refrain from comment on the mat
ter of good taste and manners.
Judge Mann was eloquent in
telling the farmers how he had
championed their every interest in
the Senate, and of the bill provid-
ing for agricultural education in
the rural districts. The news
paper reports of his speech quote
him as saying: For lack of leg
islative committee from the far
mers to back up the fight we
were making. the plan to create
five great agricultural high schools
in the different sections of the State
was stricken out"
Dr. Charles l.. Gravatt. who
represented the Caroline district
in the Senate of Virginia, followed
the eloquent Judge. Now it sec ms
that Dr. Gravstt introduced bill
known as Senate bill No. 1871, to
provide for the development of
agriculture by the establishment
OF branch experiment stations and
agricultural high schools in con-
nection Herewith. The friends of
this measure availed themselves of
the only possible chance Of secur-
ing its passage, and we find the
record on pages 754-756, of the
Senate Journal, under date March
5. 1908, where it is shown that this
bill was defeated by the vote of
Judge William Hodges Mann.

"On July S. 1908, the spirit of
DR.. John j. Washington passed

suffering, borne with Christian
patience and resignation. When

the call To service. In early man
hood DR.. Washington united with
the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church. Quietly and without
demonstration he lived his religion
in his daily life, serving his Maker
by faithful service to suffering
humanity. The high esteem and
love felt for him were manifested
by the great anxiety and thoughtful
attention of hundreds of friends
during his illness, and by the rare
and beautiful floral offerings from
friends in New Orleans and all
along the coast, the large funeral
and the almost immediate request
of the citizens of Pass Christian TO
allowed To erect monument To his
memory. In the death of DR..
Washington our state loses one of
Its best citizens and the medical
profession one of its most learned
members. The deceased leaves a
wife, four sons, two daughters,
two brothers and four sisters, one
the wife of our well-known DR.. G.
ii. Bell, to mourn their loss. To
these Borrowing ones time alone
can bring consolation; but the
splnedid life cut off lin the noontide

ton to follow in his footsteps. He
