AMERICANS in
WESTERN CANADA

All western Canada is becoming
Americanized. There are now as
many natives of the United States
living in the Manitoba and Alberta
sections as there are Englishmen,
and the influx of Americans grows
faster than the immigration of Brit
ons. Last year 10000 people from
this country, but mainly sturdy farm
ers from our western states, crossed
the border and took up homes under
the British flag. Almost half of all
the Americans acquire free home
steads, whereas only a fifth of the
Englishmen become land owners.
There is no doubt that Winnipeg is
destined to become an inland me-

Montgomery, No., Feb. 27.--It has
been learned here that through tech
nical error Or. II. w. HemphilI, con-
vlcted and given three years In the
Penitentiary In connection with the
death Of Elizabeth Gleason, the Line
oIn county school teacher, Is to re-
ceive new trial. The indictment
under which he was convicted Is pro-
nounced worthless because It omits
certain words required by section
1925, as amended by the Legislature
of 1897.
The discovery of the error In the
indictment in DR.. Hemphill's case ex-
plains what former Congressman R.
H. Norton, attorney for Hemphill and
Cow, meant when he had "a trump

ing been jointly charged with the
death Of Miss Gleason, 1t was shown
he had sent the girl to DR.. Hemp,

A motion for a new trial has also
been filed in his case before Judge
Barnett of this city, and as It was
not argued during the present tern
of the circuit court of Audrain county
which adjourned to-day it will have
the effect of postponing the pronounc

MEXICO and Horses have become
Synonymous. Throughout the entire
United States the word Mexico when
mentioned calls forth the remark:
THAT is where the fine horses come
from"
The following clipped from the
New York Herald on Mexico horses
is a prominent instance of the mat
ter In question:

1t is with great regret we learn of
the sale Of that grand saddle stall
lion, Forest King. Like the famous
Rex Mcdonald, he has left Audrain
county never to return. Do the horse
men of this section realize just
what this means? They regretted
the sale of Rex Mcdonald after he
had gone to Columbia and many came
forward afterward willing to have
paid even more for the fine animal
than the Columbians did TO keep him
here. Mr.. Carter found several will
ing to do the same thing with For
est King after the late deal was con-
sumated.
II Mexico desires to retain the
reputation she now possesses as a
horse center It is up to the horse
men TO retain their fine breeding an
imals. Mr.. Carter said he had all
the business he could handle last sea
son and had he not been offered such
good price as well as not desiring
to continue In the business would
have kept the horse.
Even though we have lost Rex Nc
Donald and Forest King we still

There are other horsemen in the
county who have fine animals, also,
and for the sake Of the county they
should they remain.
There are colts in the county to-
day that promise to equal their

and Audrain county horseman are to
be proud of their work along this
line.

THE Johnson murder trial at the
court house, the early part Of the
week, is another instance of the
evil of "gun totin,'" If sumptuary
laws were fashionable an enactment
prohibiting hip pockets would save
great deal of trouble and prevent a
good many needless tragedies. Be-
fore the vogue of the hip pocket
small arms were so large that they
had to be carried in more or less
visible pouch. With the pocket came
the gun to fit the pocket, and with
the gun came the constant temptation
TO shoot. OF course, no man has a
right to carry these inimical little
firearms concealed in this unobtru-
slve receptacle without license, but
police departments, no matter how
willing, cannot stop this evasion of
the law. There are some few men

patton or experience would justify
them in asking authority to carry
concealed guns, but for the vast ma
jority OF citizens such protection" is
unnecessary and the vast majority
would be safer and happier without
| II. Americans, as rule, are not
given to expressing their anger by
physical violence, but this unfortunat
Ihip-pocket habit often tempts a man
to invoke tragedy In an episode that
would otherwise exhaust itself in
some heated language and a couple
of black eyes. As the law seems
powerless to amend the custom we
can only hope that sane public
opinion will some day obliterate it.

DEPUTY CIRCUIT CLERK, MISS
PEARL MORRIS, RATHER COOK
THAN HOLD ANY PUBLIC Of
FIcE-sHE PREFERS HOME
Is Perhaps the Youngest Deputy In
the State Filling Such an Inn
portant Post-she Is Capable.

"If knew my election was GER
tain, l would not become candidate
for public office" This emphatic
statement was made Saturday at the
closing Of the Circuit Court by Dep
uty Clerk, Miss Pearl Morris. Dur.
ing the illness of Circuit Clerk w.
H. Morris, she has filled his position
efficiently and from the issuance of
legal documents to the swearing of
witnesses she has proved herself ca
pable.
"a woman's sphere is home" she
continued, land they should not at
tempt to enter political life. Though
l know little of cooking, I am sure /
would prefer It to any public ser
vice an election might place upon
me. l enjoy my work in the circuit
clerks office, yet would not care to
give the home up for It,"
Miss Morris is an attractive bru-
nette of medium stature, a strong
face and more business ability than
the average woman is blessed with.
She conducted the work of the office
during the Illness of her chief with
all the acumen and dispatch OF an ex.
perienced officer and at present is
thoroughly familiar with every duty
which devolyed upon the circuit
clerk in one Of the busiest counties
in the State.
She graduated from the Mcmillan
High School last year. She is ambi-
tious, possessing an earnest desire {
attend the State University and as
quire more knowledge. She is a con-
slant reader. close observer and in
the few months she has been con-
nected with the court has cleaned
quite a knowledge Of legal matters.
This is the second woman that ever
held county office in Audrain. The
other was Mrs. Clara Snidow, who
so capably filled office number of
years ago. Miss Morris is but 1S
years old and in all probability the
youngest man or woman in the State
to-day or in the past who has filled
successfully such an important post.
She is to be congratulated upon her
record and the manner in which she
has conducted the office during the
period she had full supervision over
it.

st. Louis papers as well as the local
devoted much space to his unique IN
novation. 45f.
Judge Bolts states the word "obey''
is not legal and therefore he has
eliminated Il; although a woman is
held liable If she does not obey.
What's the use Of putting obey
in, anyway" continued the Judge in
a facetious mood, ga man very soon
discovers who does the obeying."
Rev. L. d. Bass, e. st. Louis, says:
"obey" should be put in every mar
riage ceremony. An officer of the
law or a minister who refuses to
make woman promise to obey her
husband should not be allowed to per-
form the marriage ceremony. Wom-
ans refusal to accept the Divine
mandate to obey her husband is do
ing society more harm than the sa-
loon, and is at the bottom of the d.
vorce evil"
Justice of the Peace Frey, Of st.
Charles, Mo-, says: 81 refuse to per-
form marriage ceremony using the
word "obey," which is a relic Of bar
barlsm. II a. man or
woman insists upon retain
ing the VOW of obedience in the rit-
ual, tell them to go somewhere else
to be married."
