a Tribute to Mother.

Sooner or later each one will be
called upon to mourn the loss of
mother. When that time comes can
you face the inevitable with the
thought that so far as you and your
acts are concerned mother has never
been made to grieve over you? If you
have not realized before what moth
er has done for you, you will at that
time. What then. will you have to
say? Our brother editor, f. II. Griffin,
pays the following beautiful tribute
to his mother who departed this life
recently as result of an
accident. 1t should be stamped up
on your memory and ought to be an
incentive for good to each one:
Our own dear mother; SO unlike
all other mothers. Her who gave to
us birth, who nursed us in infancy,
who gave us good council in man
hood days who never ceased in her
unfaltering love, her devotion, her
confidence in one and all of her chill
dren, has passed away. Her mem
DRY is all that now remains with us,
all we still have to revere, to cherish,
and to enrich future life. She was
glorious mother, SO kind, so, true,
so trustful, so noble. We realize
the trials, the sorrows, the heartaches
Of this mother, yet through them all
that watchful mother's untiring fidel-
ity never wavered nor ceased to con-
slider what was best for her children.
She was unselfish in her love, deny,
ing all things for self, true to her
God and embodying all those essen
tial qualities, contact with which only
makes us better, purer. She was
pure gold, but as the years came on
apace the silvery sheen was even
more resplendent. She has left us,
and today autumn leaves are falling
on the grave of our mother. We
mourn not her departure, for she is
at rest; we grieve not and are thank
full indeed that her last sleep was
tranquil, sweet. and painless, and we
know that if there be better world,
her spirit will hover over us as her
goodness done in the years that have
passed. Farewell dear one, much
have you done for us, and we only
regret that we might have done
more for thee.
Mother! We have all known
her. Not all Of us in the same per-.
son but the same glory frames each
separate face. in the aureole of its
own Divinity.
And whether it be my mother
or yours now crossing into the un-
discovered country from whose
bourne no traveller returns. we bow
our head in reverent silence while
the passing cortege bears the sacred
dust to its present rest and our hearts
swell with sympathy and new
sense of fellowship for all who have
followed like procession and suffer
ed like sorrow. Window Citizen.

al Church at St. Paul. Warden VOL
fer discussed the subject Of The
Relation of the Church to Prison
Problems" During his address he
gave an outline Of the benefits Of the
new indeterminate sentence as affec-
ting the prisoners confined mere, and
in speaking Of the Church, said in
part:
The church stands for spiritual
and moral growth, for civic right
eousness and Christian character.
We know that all great moral forces
that have been born to the world
and ripened into enduring fruitful
ness are due to the Christian reli-
gion and the support of church. We
all know that it was the holy Chris
tian faith that planted the seed that
terminated and grew into that great
moral and spiritual force that made
possible and did finally give birth
to this great nation, the greatest ma
ton the world hase ever known.
The members Of churches are
made up from thee best moral and
spiritual forces of our government.
AS such they have Christian duty
in the supervision of the race.
Church members, as rule, have
sensitive regard for the well being
of humanity. They try to cultivate
a moral and Christian conscience in
their children. This is well as far
as it goes, but it should pass beyond
the limits of.the family far enough
to take in every child in the commu-
nifty. If this were done the moral
and spiritual development Of the
race would be assured. But the
stress Of modern life, with its in
creased perplexities overlooks the
street arab, the truant and the juye-
nile delinquent, until there appears
an easy step or range from the high
est point Of civic righteousness to
the lowest point of degradation, APP
preaching even to that unfortunate
condition spoken of by some, as total
depravity, although I wish it dis
tlnctly understood that / do not be-
live in total depravity, though /
confess that prison warden with
narrowed vision may easily come to
believe in such a hopeless condition.
If he uses faculties in the right
direction, he will discover abundant
evidence that the criminal is much
the same as other men. No man in
his heart loves iniquity; no man in
his heart hates or despises Justice.
On the other hand, every man in his
heart, criminal or not, loves justice
and humanity. The criminal as a
rule is both a liar and gambler, but
these deadly defects in character are
not confined to the criminal, but
nevertheless are the foundation les
sons of his career.
The inderterminate sentence,
with the grading and parole law. is
the outgrowth of experiment to meet
and cure the different traits Of Grim
inal character. tits the only ration.
al way to treat the criminal. Under
its sway the prison is no longer gov
erned by force or fear, but it enlists
the cooperation Of the convicts as
well as the officers and guards.
1t enables the successful modern,
prison to secure such a perfect or
ganization that the authorities may
know approximately the mental,
physical and moral movement of the
Institution. With such an organi-5
cation, few guns and clubs will be
required"

THE CREEK PROBLEM.

Public attention has been called the
past week 10 the very unsatisfactory
condition OF Wheeling creek. During
the summer months the creek is little
more than a filthy open sewer Popu-
lation in the Wheeling creek valley
has increased rapidly during the past
six years. All the small towns TO the
east OF Wheeling have put in some
kind Of sewer systems. and the refuse
aud drainage from nearly 10000 PEG
pie are dumped into the creek be
tween the Wheeling city limits and
Elm Grove. To state this fact is to
assert an appalling condition Of af-
fairs For weeks this sewerage is
allowed to accumulate. and an occa-
sional heavy rain fall may or may not
carry il out into the river.
The creek problem is serious. TX
actly how IT is 10 be met is a question
for early consideration. \ closed

authority will be the temporary ex-
preston o; popular Will. That Will
may change from day 20 day. and
with II will change the complexion OF
the courts. and the practical meaning

Objections TO the recall features
In the Arizona constitution, however.
may not be considered as sufficient
reasons for denying statehood As a
general proposition. We learn more
from experiment than from anything
else. Advocates OF the recall Will
never be satisfied until il has been
thoroughly tried and its merits and
dement's tested Stage managers
who produce "A new play frequently
hunt up a small town to try il out.
They call that process trying il on
the dog. Possibly il would be a good
thing 10 give the recall fair trial.
Arizona will be as good a dog as any
to try II on. There ought to he sense
enough and good judgment enough
among the American people TO dis
card a constitutional provision. or
legislative enactment. that is found to
be faulty. The Arizonians have a
right 10 make mistakes il they wish
