Obituary.

James o. Parks, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John w. Parks. was born
February 28th, 1880.
He was graduated from the Plym-
outh High School in 1901, following
which, nine years ago, he accepted
position in the East Chicago bank,
where he resigned as Cashier last
April.
Seven years ago, the twenty-sec-
ond of last June, he led to the
matrimonial altar one of his former
schoolmates, Miss Gail North, daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. North of
this city. They had been compan-
ions from childhood. In school they
were together, and on the way
home, he would carry her books;
while in the burdens of the later
years, a loving wife now bears testi-
mony that he never failed.
There were given to them, three
little ones, one Of whom died in
infancy. Kenneth, three years Of
age. and Dorothy, eleven months
old, are left with the mother in the
home.
Last April, Mr.. Parks went to
the South with the hope of regain
ing his health. Word often came
that he was improved, then more
recently that he was failing. His

quickly to his side, but before she
could start. the words were flashed
back, "He is gone.''i
1t Is a great comfort today to his
loved ones to remember his charac-
ter. Reared in Christian home.
and given helpmate of true
Christian character, the life, he led
was one of deepening faith and
widening service toward others.
He entered, the Christian life
early, at the age of thirteen, unit
ing with the Presbyterian church Of
this city. In East Chicago, he and
his wife became members of the
Congregational church. He was a
faithful member of the church, and
for a number of years has been an
active worker in the Sunday school.
He was especially fond of the
songs of the church. He loved to
sing, and upon many occasions,
whenever opportunity came to him.
he rendered valuable service in his
way. AS mark of the high esteem
and appreciation by those who
knew him best, we note the presence
here at his funeral of the three
other members of the quartet to
which he belonged in East Chicago.
Word comes also from Fort Sum-
ner, New Mexico. where he had gone
only few months as stranger,
that in the little church of the
town his help in singing was sought
after. and was freely given, and
that he also became the teacher of
class of boys in the Sunday school
These facts reveal Enthusiastically
| that until the very last. he gave a
| life of devoted service to Others and
to Christ We feel that in no sense
were his talents hid away. and that
he was fond in faithful service
when the Master came. We believe
that a great. good God had need of
him in better world than ours.
To the realms beyond human ken,
his spirit winged its flight at eleven
a. m. last Tuesday, September
twelfth. at Albuquerque, New Mex.
He was a true son, loving hus-
band, and devoted father. Be
sides two children and a devoted
wife. he leaves also his brother
Ernest. his mother. Mrs. J. W
Parks. and his sister Jennie. to-
gether with many friends to mourn
their loss.
Funeral services were held at the
home of Mrs. John w. Parks on
Sophia street. Saturday at two p. M
and we're conducted by the pastors
of the Methodist and Presbyterian
churches. Rev. F. o. Fraley and Rev
W. c. Logan.
A representation of the Elks
Lodge of Chicago was present. and
brief ritual services of the Order
were conducted by them at the
grave. The other three members of
the quartet to winch Mr.. Parks be-
longed in Chicago, Mr.. Evan Lloyd
Miss Mary Stone and Miss Pearl
Townsend, were present and very
feelingly sang several beautiful
and appropriate selections.

SOCIALIST CONTROVERSY
REVOLVING IN CIRCLE
20 the, Editor Of THE TIMES

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Your Socialist and anti i-Socialist corre-
spondents approach an acute stage
in their controversy without adding any
thing to our store Of knowledge. 1t has
been known for years and amply set
forth in print that Socialists number in
their ranks persons who believe in doing
saint like things and devil-like things
and all grades between, that Socialist
may be a millionaire or a pauper, an
anarchist or a philanthropist. and that
what constitutes a Socialist. socialistic
belief and socialistic practice at the
present time Is as varied as the towns
in which Socialists live. There are
more socialistically behaved and behev-
ing persons outside organized social
ISM than within.
Most persons believe public ownership
Of utilities good thing but are also
aware that under the character OF gov
ernment served up by politicians the
citizen would get the wrong end of the
deal and carfares would follow the
higher cost of living" principally for
the benefit of loafer and CRATER The
Times might state what kind of social
ism is under discussion so that the op-
ponents (both sides) may not lose so
such steam. They remind me of race
horses and Congressman, who have to
prance round in circle for awhile be-
fore they can get down to the work cut
out for them. There appears to be much
enthusiasm but little learning and ] sug-
gests a resort to books on the subject:
The same remarks might apply to the
papal infallibility arguments. One side
Is discussing one meaning and the other
the other meaning. Each side would
like to shout liar" and both sides may
be right. The original Christian
church Contemplated no pope but a
mutual control. The pope excommui-
Gated some branches of the church and
some branches of the church excum-
municated the pope. 1t Is tit for tat
and we take our choice, after reading
history. accommodation is not the re-
suit of charity. but fear.
w. z. ALLEN.
TNOTE-The Times has been exceed
ingly liberal in its allowance of space to
both sides in the Socialist controversy.
The arguments for and against are
marked by a repetition which our read.
ers find monotonous. We feel justified
in Insisting, therefore, that future con-
tributions must come strictly within the
limh of 200 words.-Editor The Mail

WAR OF THE TITANS OVER
FEMINISM.

There is war on high Olympus the
like of which has not been seen since
Jove and Typhon met in cosmic
interchange of thunderbolts and
boulders. Rudyard Kipling, in his
most elemental manner, has been firing
into the ranks of the women suffra-
gists. Mortars and mangonels and cata.
pults, loaded with white-hot adjectives
drawn from the armory of satire, are
leveled at the feminist movement with
all the fervor of politics and some of
the forms of poetry. The first stanza
etches a parabola cf fire against the
sky as follows:
When the Himalayan peasant meets the
he-bear in his pride,
He shouts to scare the monster who
Will often turn aside;
But the she-bear thus accosted rsnds
the peasant tooth and nail,
For the female OF the species is more
deadly than the male.
Lest there should be any doubt as t.
the political application of these re
hections he drops, here and there, into
such lines as;
She is welded to convictions-in default
of grosser ties
Her contentious are her children
Heaven help him who denies!
Filth much more to the same impors !
No one less daring than the autho
of adam Zad' and "The White Man
Burden" would have ventured upol
such controversial ground, and it wa
inevitable that sooner or later h
would find Roland for his Oliver. Ant
now, sputtering and corruscating acros
the cables, comes reply from Mr.. Hal
Caine, protagonist of the suffragists
squire of danes, and author of novel
The Washington times., 1911-11-10

lieved that the $4,000 which the city
now pays the private contractor can be
saved; that better wages can be paid
the workmen engaged in the business !;
that steady and desirable employment
can be given to the inmates of the
workhousc at Occoqusn, where 1t q
proposed to locate the plant. and that
fuel residuum from the reduced
garbage will be valuable in the opera.
tion of the brick and tile works which
the District owns at Occoquan.
Summing is up, there seems to b.
every reason for confidence that from
$4,000 to $4,000 year would bs
saved by the adoption of the new plan
This certainly appears to be suf
ficient economy to justify the municipal
plant.
1t should be understood that thii
method of handling garbage is no new
thing. 1t has been adopted and sue
cessfully operated In number Of
American cities. The plant which Il
proposed for Washington would be tn,
last word in such construction ant
management. It would probably reduc,
costs lower than any other plant hal
done, and at the same time produce ,
larger amount of revenue from by
products. It would be, finally, an OBJ
ject lesson in the possibilities ant
economies of municipal management
of value whose extent can only b.
appreciated when it Is recalled that th'
inevitable tendency of the times is to
ward the municipalization of man,
other important functions, such a.
transportation and lighting. There il
need that the city should have ex
perience in conducting these great pub
lie services, and the municipal garbag
plant would give an opportunity TO
comparison of efficiency as between tn
public and the private management.
