Mrs. William Ryan White, mother
of John A. White Of this city
passed peacefully and triumphantly
from earth to the Eternal Kingdom
at 5:24 o'clock Thursday evening.
Mrs. White was pioneer in the
deepest and truest sense of the
word. Her ancestors were natives
of Virginia, her father having moved
from that state into the state OF
Kentucky in about the year 1880,
and Mrs. White was born in the lat.
ter state on a plantation near the
city of Lexington. 1t was here in
the year 1882 on May 5 she first
looked on this world. Her maiden
name was Judith Ann Rebecca Chea-
than, being a daughter of Major
Cheatham, whose ancestors settled
in Virginia in the early zoos.
Father Gave Slaves Freedom.
Although Mrs. Whites father was
at one time a STAKEHOLDER, his slaves
were given their freedom long be-
fore the outbreak of the Civil war
and although her father, Major
Cheatham, and his sons were loyal
Unionists, many of his relatives
fought on the Confederate side, some
Of them with more or less distinc'
ton and were for slavery to the
bitter end. Major Cheatham, being
opposed to slavery, and having freed
his slaves, with his family made
his way northward and located in
the vicinity of Alton, ILL.,, along about
the year 1845, where he again took
up farming operations as a means
of livelihood.
Youngest of Family.
Judith Ann was the youngest anu
the sole survivor of family of
thirteen, four boys and nine girls,
all of whom eventually pioneered
their way into the northwest, locat-
ing in the states of Illinois, Wiscon.
sin, Iowa and Minnesota. She be-
came acquainted with William Ryan
White in the course of events az
Galena, ILL.,, whose family migrated
from near the city of Montreal, Can.
ada, in 1888, locating in the village
OF Galena, H., where the family en-.
gagged in the mining business. Not
long after this acquaintance was
formed Judith Ann immigrated with
her brother, Demeatrus. locating on
farm near Springville, Wis.,, and
1t was not long ere. William Ryan
White here renewed his acauaint-
ance, and on July 3, 1848, mar
riage ceremony was solemnized which
made Judith Ann and William Ryan
man and wife.
Husband Was Mining Man.
Following closely upon the heels
of this event, the pair returned to
Galena. where they took up their
abode and for four years Mr. White

MIR, VOTER-The ONCE OF Con-
gressman-at-Large, which represents
the entire State, has just been
created, ii Is State once and your
vote for me will not affect any Dis
trict Congressman. Every voter has
the right to vote for Congressman-at-
Large. The State Is now represented
by twelve Congressman and two Sen
ators, Of which twelve are lawyers.
and only two are business men
Would 1t not be well to inject more
BUSINESS principles and fewer
technicalities into orr laws?
Ny opponent for this ONCE on the
Republican ticket Is lawyer and has
been In public Office at Lansing for
number of years. He was Lieutenant
Governor under Warner, when the
great commonwealth OF Michigan was
bankrupt. Has anyone ever heard
word of protest from him as TO the
inefficiency of our State government
during all the years he was In Lans-
ing?
Every voter knows that over 80 per
cent OF the members of Congress are
lawyers; that has been true for years.
They also know that the laws are 50
technical that the very men who make
them will go Into court and lawyer
on either side will argue from one TO
twenty-four hours as to what the law
really means. Then the judge will
take from one to ten days to decide
the very law that possibly he and the
two lawyers referred to helped TO
place upon the statute books. In fact
the laws are so technical that on &C.
casions when the Supreme Court or
the United States has been deciding
some important point four learned
judges have given opinion one way
and five the other, which means that
ONE MAN practically makes the law
in such cases. INSIST that 1t would
be better for the people IL there were
MORE BUSINESS MEN In Congress
to help eliminate the technicalities
and delays in judicial proceedings.
| find no fault with the lawyer as a
professional man. The lawyer, like

stands as an example OF our highest
type OF especially trained profession

phasize is There should not be such
large IndlOFIty OF any pIV'oeoicuS
whether doctors, lawyers or en-
gineers. There should be nearer a
balance OF the different professions.
and larger percentage of business
men, in the legislative halls Of this
country. In view OF tho increasingly

gress deals, 1t ia, OF course, proper
that It should be provided with en-

age Is and always has been too large.
There should be more consideration
OF national affairs from q business
mans standpoint In our legislative
halls.
Mr. Voter, II you feel that a man
with forty years business experience,
who has travelled into every nook and
corner OF the United States. thereby
giving him a nationwide view, can
serve you better as Congressman-at-
