A WONDERFUL WOMAN.

From Pittsburg Pa Leader
There was nothing to startle
the world in the brief item of
news that came out of Br0Okline,
Mass, yesterday announcing
that Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy,
Founder and Leader of the Chris
tian Science denomination, was
quietly observing the eighty
ninth anniversary of her birth,
surrounded by few friends at
her modest home.
The item itself was character
istic Of the subject. Probably
Mrs. Eddy herself would have
preferred that nothing at all be
said about it.
But there is a great deal in the
plain fact that this remarkable
woman is now rounding out her
ninetieth year, of which the PEG
pie everywhere may well take
note.
Seldom do we have presented
a subject more replete with valu-
able suggestion, ennobling in
spiration, or general uplift.
Mrs. Eddy stands among the
foremost women of her time and
generation. Whether or not we
subscribe TO the doctrines which
she has founded and maintained,
we cannot take from the credit
which rightfully accrues through
her position as one of the worlds
workers, as one who has been
The Randall County news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1908-1926, 1910-08-12

devoted to the welfare of others,
who has all but given her life to
the cause of humanity.
Mrs. Eddy's life has been one
of constant effort for her fellow
beings. She has had no selfish
aims to accomplish, no unworthy
aims to attain, no Interior mo-
tives TO shield with the cloak Of
religion.
Mrs. Eddy is a stanch advo-
cate of prayer. She believes III
the efficacy of prayer, and upon
this belief the religion she has
founded leans more strongly
than anything else.
From a handful of original
supporters Mrs. Eddy increased
the number until the Christian
Scientists are now a power IN
the religious world.
They met with many rebutfs.
Critics were not sparing of the
tender.hearted woman's feelings
and who can tell the pain she
must have felt when the sharp
thrusts of the public lance often
reached their mark?
But she was resolute and un-
daunted. She was firmly found
ed in her belief, and she needed
not what her detractors said OF
her or of her ideas.
Mrs. Eddy will not be classed
as great in the same manner
as other women of her time. She
has not filed the public mind

Resolutions Of Sympathy.

Whereas, our Heavenly Father
in his infinite wisdom, has taken

ted and instructive members,

symsathy and tenderest love in

and point him to Jesus, who is
burden bearer and comforter in
time of need.

sent to the bereaved home and
that a copy be placed on the
minutes of the circle.

A real estate transfer at Can.
Won this week carries with it a
significant meaning. A man who
had sold several sections of land

was in the market to buy 100
acres at $50 per acre. His faith
in Texas land had rightfully re-
turned. but the price had soma

PITCH BLEND.

The principal uranium minerals are
araninite or pitchblend and carnotite;
the former, as its name implies, is a
black mineral of a pitch like appear
ance. Carnotite, on the other hand, is
a bright canary yellow. Pitchblende
usually occurs massive with a con-
choidal or shell like fracture and brittle.
Its hardness is SIS and specific gravity
9 to 81. 1t is, therefore, a very hard
and heavy mineral Its luster is sub
metallic to greasy or pitchiike and dull.
In this as well as in its weight, and not
being magnetic, it might be distin-
guished from masses and crystals Of
magnetic iron which often occur in
adjacent rocks in the granite series.
It's weight and hardness would also dis
tinguish it from black tourmaline which
it somewhat resembles. The color is
gray, greenish, brownish, velvet black
The streak is grayish and brownish
black to olive green. 1t occurs in
Gipin county, Colorado, in pockets IN
assure veins, cutting through the
GRANTEES and schists. 1t may contain
lead, thorium, chromium and lanthan-
I'M. Pure uraninite is worth s. per
pound. 1t is one Of the principal radium
minerals; one Of its uses is as q pig
msnt. Carnotite or the oxide Of
uranium mingled with yanadium occurs
IN sandstones and shales Ia the La
Sale region and Ia Montr0se IN Placer
county 10 northwestern Colorado

SECOND CHOICE DECISION.

By the terms of an opinion handed
down by the supreme court in the case
entitled Gardner G. Adams VS.. Robert
Landon. as secretary of the state o.
Idaho, it was decided that the primary
election law as passed by the tenth leg
islature is constitutional. 1t was also
held to be mandatory upon the elector
to vote for second choice where there
are more than two candidates for Office.
that the matter Of personal expenses
of candidate for nomination are con-
strued to be all his expenditures at all
times for the promotion of his candid
acy and that there being no provision
for the nomination of precinct officers
in the act, those officers may be nOmi-
mated in any reasonable way that may
be provided by the party organization
The matter Of the personal expenses
of the candidate. and whether or not
It is mandatory upon the electOr to cast
q vote for second choice, are perhaps
the most important features Of the de-
cisiOn. The question of the cOnstitu-
tionality of the act Ringing upon the
feature Of a second choice being com
pulsory, the court holds that it was the
intention Of the legislature to take the
matter out Of the hands Of party com
mittees and conventions and place IL
the hands Of the voter and secure ii
possible an election by a majority
vote and if neither Of the candi
dates should receive a majority then
the first and second choice votes should
be added together and the one receiy-
ing the largest number to be elected az
the candidate.
The failure Of a voter to indicate
both first and second choice for any
Office does not void the entire ticket.
but only the vote for that Office; also
if the voter does not find the name
Of the candidate whom he wishes b.
vote for for second choice upon the
ticket, he has the alternative Of writ
ing the name Of some one else upon
his ballot.
The Interpretation Of the second sec
ton Of the act referring TO the personal
expenses Of the candidate restricts him
TO not over ten percent Of the yearly
compensation or salary attached 10 the
Office al the time whether before o.
after filing bis nomination papers. The
court holds that il was the intention Of

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

The first Of the postal savings bank
system is to be installed in New York,
and they are now rushing everything
to get in operation by November LIST.
Postmaster General Hitchcock says:
81 believe, that when we really get to
work the postal savings bank PROPOSE
ton will prove one of the most popular
features of the national administration.
The department is making every effort
to secure cooperation. We are going
to try the plan in some of the big
offices first. We have before us all the
practical points of it's operation abroad.
Ultimately we shall have postal saw
ings bank wherever there is a post
office.
''Since reaching New York l have
discovered that most of the opposition
was developed when the proposition
was first suggested and has since dis
appeared. Now many bankers are
heartily cooperating with us. Bankers
generally seemed to fear that it meant
serious injury to their business. Now
they are gradually coming around to
the belief that it will not endanger it at
al but on the contrary, will release in
;alculable amounts of money which the
poor in particular have been boarding
because they were afraid to bank it. "

a direct blow against the sale of NEAR

a majority of the voters have adopted
prohibition under the provisions OF the
local option law, in a sweeping opinion
written by Justice James F. Ailshie
and concurred in by Chief Justice |. N.

handed down by the supreme court
affecting the sale of liquor in the diff

the first case wherein the question of

been raised.
