Roman law recognized the inalien-
able right of a wife TO a certain pro
portion of her husbands property after
his death, and this right is enforced
in Scotland and almost every country
in the civilized world, including those
countries where the Mohammedan re
ligion is practiced. New Zealand az
first followed the bad custom of the
mother country of leaving the wife de
pendent on her husbands caprice.
but since women obtained the vote the
law has been altered so that man
cannot leave all his property away
from his wife nor pareLt from his
or her children.

The trumpets blew at midnight on the
fields of all the world
And misty battle flags against the high
sky were unfurled,
While Greek and Frank and Swiss and
Pole and Saxon rose to give
,-Tbe.r greeting to the men who die that
Freedoms cause may live.
The stars above Thermopylae looked
down upon the sight;
The battle line of shades of those who
fell In Freedoms fight
Stood straight and true as e'er it did
those years and years ago,
Ard swords flashed out in quick salute
along the stalwart row.
Forgotten legions marched the hills and
trod the desert sands,
Great regiments unknown to men swung
up saluting hands,
And on the seas old galleons and bygone
fleet on fleet
Sent up forgotten flags. as when review
ing columns meet.
Weird instruments of olden days blent
with the drum and fife
In rally-calls that summoned all the
worlds brave ones to life;
The word thrilled through the world Of
death that freedom still held sway
That men were laying down their lives
in Freedoms cause today.
BY castle walls and parapets long crum-
bled into dust
On modern fields where men have eraned
their countrys faith and trust,
The long, long lines-in khaki, homespun,
leather. and in mail,
Held swords aloft and chorused forth:

1 know funny little boy,
The happiest ever born;
His face is like a beam of joy.
Although his clothes are torn.
I saw him tumble on his nose,
And waited for a groan;
But how he laughed Do you suppose
He struck his funny bone?
There's sunshine in each word he speaks
His laugh is something grand
Its rippies overrun his cheeks
Like waves on snowy sand.
He laughs the moment he awakes
And till the day is done;
The schooloom for joke he takes
His lessons are "just funr'
No matter how the day may go
You cannot make him cry;
He's worth dozen boys I know
Who pout and NOPE and sigh.

REFUSES TO ACCEPT
VICE-PRES|DfNCY
De LaBarra Don't Want the Honor
offered Him BY the People
of Mexico.

Mexico City, Oct. Provisional
President De La Barra Issued a formal
statement today declaring he would
not accept the vice presidency. 1t was
in answer to an open letter demand
ing that he make a definite answer.
The letter was signed by one of the
ardent supporters of Jose Pine Suar-
ez, the nominee of the Progressive
Party, and published in the Nueva
Era, the official organ of that party
Technically the law gives an elected
man no right to resign except for seri-
Gus illness or similar disability to
serve, but in view of the fact that the
election cannot be said to be finished
until the electoral college meets, Oct.
10, the action of De La Barra will
probably have the effect of eliminat-
ing him from the race leaving it to
Pine Suarez and DR.. Francisco Vas
quez Gomez.
The Progressives today claim that
their candidate has received 60 per
cent of the vote of the republic. This
is denied by the Catholic Party and
by the Vasquistas, but none of them
is prepared to back claims with un
questioned figures. What appears
more probable is that none of the
three parties has the necessary ma
iority in the electorl college at pres
emit and so the post-election cam
paign among the electors is beinc
waged more strenously.

Arrangements are now being
made by the people of Reno, who
are back of the Washoe 5Oth ami
Versary celebration that is scheduled
for the Ord and 4th of July, to
have Ely, the worlds famous avi-
ator, take up passenger when he
makes his flights on the Fourth.
1t is possible that the honor of
accompanying the aviator will be
afforded to one of the pioneers who
is in attendance. Probably the ex-
perience will be participated in by
the oldest pioneer present, who, in
addition, will also receive a prize.
Excursion trains will be run from
many points in Nevada, California
and Oregon to Reno. Reduced
rates have been secured and the
event is being advertised thorough
ly. Thousands of Californians are
expected, for the presence of Ely
has proven a strong drawing card.
Ely will not confine his exhibit
ton to single fight, but will
make several aerial trips.
1t is the desire to give prac-
tical demonstration of what his
craft will accomplish, and to fur
Their demonstrate the machine he
will leave it to the crowd that wit
nesses the performance if he has
earned the amount that is to be
awarded to him for his exhibitions.
This purse is now in escrow in
one of the Reno banks, and will
not be turned over to the aviator until
he makes a series of successful
flights. This clause in the agree
ment was inserted at the request
of Mr.. Ely.
