Wrote Suffrage Report.

He was Democratic elector at
large in 1876 and represented the
State as delegate at large to six ma
tional Democratic conventions. He
was leader in the recent Virginia
Constitutional Convention, and wrote
the suffrage report, which practically
settled the suffrage question in Vir-
gina.
Virginia never had a more popular
statesman. He was ever faithful to
the ideas Of Democracy and never
once was the confidence OF his people
shaken in him. An interesting indi-
cation Of his character was shown
when he assumed personal debts Of
his father amounting to 100000, for
which there was no moral claim upon
the son. He felt it his duty, however,
to discharge these, and on his 65th
birthday had the distinct pleasure Of
making the last Of the payments.

AARRIED AT TWELVE.
Recently in an Indiana town the par
ents OF girl twelve years Of age per-
mitted her to marry = man Of thirty.
Which was 4 vicious crime against
childhood.
More than that. 1t was a crime
against society. against civilization. q
crime against the future.
Think of 1t:
A girl Of twelve years. still in short
dresses. whose place should be on her
fathers knee:sa girl Of tender years.
whose only serious concern should be
her school work and whose chiefest
pleasures should be her dolls and play
houses:
The pity Of It!
What does this baby Of twelve years
know about q husband or marriage or
love or life:
No girl is physically At to be wife
or mother at twelve. Marriages of
that sort are made only in India and
the orient. where wives are regarded
only as toys or playthings.
What sort Of children may be ex-
pected from a child mother not yet in
her teens?
Society puts its age limits upon mar
riage not only for the protection of the
contracting parties. but to protect it.
self from children born with a handi-
cap.
1t is easy to predict the finish Of this
child II the marriage stands.
At an age when other young girls
are beginning to entertain their earlier
beaus she will be broken. nervous
wreck. doomed perhaps to an early
grave.
The wrong Of it!
1t was a ruthless act.
The tendency Of our day Is away
from early marriages. and for q good
reason. We are beginning to under
stand that wifehood and motherhood
call for a maturity. physical and
mental. Of twice twelve years. II the
race is to advance the mother must be
ht and educated for her duties.
Poor little Hoosier girl:
Justice and decency demand she
should be taken from her new home
by the humane or some other society
and sent to school.
And decency and justice demand
that the mature parties to the conspir-
acy should be punished.

TO A FATHEk.
You say Jimmie is twelve.

You say Jimmie is twelve.
Then 1t is high time. IL you have not
already done so, to become Jimmie's
chum.
1t was all right for his mother to
have charge Of him so long as he was
more baby than boy. He could tell
her everything. and she could help him
in everything. She knew where he
was and what he was doing.
1t is different now.
The boy is big enough to be called
James" and secretly he yearns for
long trousers. Unconsciously. maybe,
but surely. he Is tugging to get loose
from his mothers apron strings.
He begins to be a man.
This is your opportunity to get close
to him. Jimmie wants a mate to talk
to aud conflde in. You can be that
mate If you want to be.
Jimmie would rather be your sworn
pal than to take up with any other
nightly.
The danger Is this:
He may become either ashamed or
afraid to confide in you. And IL he
ts either he may consult some harum
scarum of the street.
Some fathers. altogether too digni-
fied or stern. proceed on the theory
that the son must recognize the pa
rental authority, and they lay down the
law and punish the least infraction Of
1t. They believe that will keep the
boy straight.
1t will doubtless keep him from
wrongdoing-where it can be found
out.
You see. the danger IS that Jimmie,
being afraid Of you. may become a
sneak. He will not tell you the truth.
He will deceive you. And Jimmie is
likely to become not only a sneak, but
a liar.
Also
II Jimmie Is asha med to tell you
about some things he may do things
Of which he ought to be ashamed.
My dear sir. you may SO have the
confidence Of your son that he will
tell you everything-everythin Moth
ing is too delicate for father and son
to discpsS-if they are chums.
Hmn6e must know from some
sourc0 the things you know about life
How much better YOU should tell him
than some other. Do you want your
boy to face temptations ignorantly or
wrongly instructed:
What are you in the world for any
way?
To make money for Jimmie?
No:
You are in the world to help your
boy make n man OF himself-a man as
good as You are or better.
For that arexyou father.
And IL Jimmie fails to make a good
man 1t will largely be your fault and
your shame. But il he succeeds: Why.
that will he the Joy and triumph Of
yonr life

Well" he replied, slowly, as a

MAY SUE FOR
STATE CAPITOL
CHANGING the Location is Said to
Have Violated the States
Title, and the Property
Can not be Used
for a State
Museum

Little Rock, April O.-The
change in the location of Arkansas
state capitol building will doubtless
result in litigation, as it was learned
from very reliable sources today
that proceedings for the recovery
of the land upon which the present
capitol stands will be instituted by
the Beebe heirs. 1t is known that
the property was decided to the
state of Arkansas to be used for
state capitol purposes, but it was
believed by prominent attorneys
that the conveyance contained a
provision which can be construed
that the property could be aban-
doned at any time and the proceeds
applied toward constructing or i'm
proving new capitol. Eminent
attorneys have investigated the case
and given one of the heirs of the
late Maj. Beebe an opinion that the
property will revert to the surviv-
ing heirs immediately upon the
states vacation of the building.
One of the heirs stated today that
he had looked into the matter care
fully and was clearly of the opinion
that the state had no claim TO the
property after its discontinuance as
a statehouse.
This will be an important piece
of news to the people of Arkansas,
and especially to the great army Of
citizens who have suggested that
the old statehouse be used for this
and that purpose. Especially will
this prove intesesting to the various
Daughters of the Confederacy chap
ters and women's clubs in Arkan-
sas who have made strong appeals
to convert the present statehouse
into a state museum.
