MALVERN, Ark, March Is, 1912.
Ed. Register-I notice your
Washington correspondent after
telling of the dreadful condition of
the workers in the wooden mills at
Lawrence, Mass, asks, "Mr. and
Mrs. Reader, what are you going
to do about it?" In six states,
Washington, California, Idaho,
Wyoming, Utah and Colorado,
Mrs. Reader can do as he suggests
-"vote and work against the
party that framed schedule *,
etc." But 1 can not see where we
women of Missouri and Arkansas
have much chance to help change
conditions at Lawrence or else
where, so long as we are denied
the ballot. There are other con-
ditions we'd like to help change,
too, but when we try to work for
changes in laws as your cor
respondent suggests, we find that
our work amounts to little without
a vote behind it. In six states,
namely, Tennessee, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, Georgia and
Florida, a father may will his
children away from their mother;
in other words, "nay discharge
the mother after his death from
the guardianship of her children"
What do you think of that, Mr..
and Mrs. Reader? Wouldn't we
women like to change that law?
In most of the states of the union
so long as the mother lives with
the father, the latter is the sole
legal guardian of their children.
On their separation, all other
things being equal, the fathers
right to the children is considered
paramount to the mothers.
| quote from an article by VIM.
Hard in the April Delineator and
I hope every Mrs. Reader will get
it and read it. SIN certain states,
particularly in the south, the mar
ried woman is still kept in many
respects in the position of a child,
and is not allowed to have control
of what she earns or what she
owns"
These are a few of the things
we'd like to help change, and do
assure you, Mr.. Reader, that we
could do it much easier by drop
ping white slip in ballot box
and in far more lady-like man
ner than working to change con-
ditions. Yes, indeed we are in
terested in the investigation into
conditions at Lawrence and we'd
like to help change them. DO let
US.

In MemOriam.

John J. w. Miller was born Jan
uary 80, 1880, departed this life
March 8, 1912, aged 50 years,
month and 8 days. His funeral
was preached by Rev. Abernathy,
of Piedmont, at Liberty church
house, to many sorrowing rela-
tives and sympathizing friends,
after which his form was laid to
rest in Liberty cemetery, there to
quietly sleep until the resurrection
morn.
He was united in marriage to
Rebecca r. Sutton in 1858. The
fruits of this union were eleven
children, four boys and seven
girls; only six of them are living,
the other. five, with their mother,
preceding the father and husband
to the Glory Land several years
since, some of them having died
in infancy. Those living are:
Ulysses, John, S., Mrs. w. H.
Hughes (Jennie) Mrs. j. w. Polk
(Laura), Mrs. R. S. HUFF (Paralee),
Mrs. Joseph Selinger (Maggie) =.
There are 32 grandchildren and
Z great grandchildren.
He professed religion i number
of years ago, and although he
never united with any church, he
lived a faithful Christian up to the
hour Of his death, and bore his
last sufferings with Christian fort
itude. He suffered nine days with
pneumonia and although he had
the best medical aid that could be
obtained and the most careful
nursing by his children, all proved
of no avail. During his illness he
was visited by many of his friends
and neighbors for miles around,
who were ever ready to assist in
any way that was needful, for
which we will ever hold them in
grateful remembrance.
Now, that we realize that he is
indeed gone, we feel assured that
our loss is his eternal gain. He is
free from the cares and troubles of
this life and sad as was the part
ing, we would not call him back,
for as we know it is appointed un-
to man once to die, and we know
not how soon we will all be called
to join our father and loved ones
in a far better land than this,
where there will be no more sad
|partings and no farewell tears are
ever shed.
He was both father and mother
to us, our mother having died
when we were small, and no father
ever filed that position better than
he did. When | think that the
dear hands that ministered to oul
childish wants are stilled, and the
lips that always gave us such wise
counsel in later years, are no W
| silent, I can hardly realize it, but
we will humbly bow In submis-
sion to the will Of Him who has
bereft US. Our father is gone but
he has left us noble heritage,
that of an untarnished name which
| is far better than all the wealth
Of this world, for as he often told
US, "a good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches" But
his work is finished, life with its
toll and labor has ended, and
while his body is resting in the
| silent tomb, his spirit has return
ed to God who gave it. And he is
enjoying that perfect rest which
awaits all the final faithful. AS

Just a few words to those desir-
ing mason work done of any kind.
The bottom has fallen out of the
prices you used to pay. You can
now have your houses plastered
for 9 cents per yard, two coats,
and your sidewalks, the old style
with Cheap John bottoms and a
top one-half sand and one-half
cement for 7 cts. per square foot or
the better one for about II cents a
foot. That is, made all alike from
the top to the bottom, and no top
to scale off. Get a good one once
and you won't have to build again,
Cellars concreted very reasonable
and other kinds of mason work,
such as stone, brick or concrete
foundations, bungalows, chimneys
and cisterns, so any one can have
a good one and anybody wanting
a square deal call on K. S. Honey

worth to do your work whether l
do the job or not.
