Guilty at the First Trial.

Albert Lea, April 6.-At an adjourn
ed term of the district court, pre-
sided over by Judge Kinsley, the Glen
Vile riot cases remaining on the cal.
endar were dismissed, on motion of
the county attorney.
Nearly year ago DR.. ]. P. Freeman

Mothers Day Proclamation.

Amid the stern realities of life there
comes to us all with the recurring
springtime, tender emotions of sadness
or of joy evolved from the very essence
of our being. 1t refreshes the best
that is in US, when the blossoming year
revives the memory of long ago, and
touches with either tear or smile live
chord OF other days. We can then see
through our separate vistas in the past
a vision of some sheltered fireside,
however humble, where the tendrils of
our hearts are entwined. The loved
ones of our youth are there; and in the
center, smiling benediction on US and
on the playmates of our childhood, is
the gentle face of our mother Wheth-
er she remained to guide our wavering
footsteps in the path of right; or
whether she is only vague fond recol-
lection reaching out to US from our
infancy, the name of mother brings
with it the most sacred influence in
our lives. To contemplate even in
reminiscence the loving caress of ones
mother, resolves US all in kindlier feel
ings towards our fellows, and deter
mines US to live better and nobler lives.
No one can be wholly bad who some
times reverts in memory to his mother;
for he knows that her love is unselfish
and eternal, and that whether she is
here or elsewhere her spirit is watch
ing over him, and the thought has a
gentle refining influence.
To reflect occasionally on that far-off
image of child at it's mothers knee,
back in the early morning of our lives,
strengthens people in the virtues
which emanate from the hearthstones
of the land and gives stability to a
nation. Our custom of observing the
second Sunday in MAY as "Mothers
Day" is in harmony with the loveliest,
happiest season of the year, sweet with
the perfume of flowers and vocal with
the song of birds; and ip loving recog.
milton of the mothers of our country,
hereby designate and proclaim
Sunday, May IL, 1912
Mothers Day, and recommend that ii
be observed by appropriate mention ir
church and Sunday school and in the
home. Let those far away gladder
mothers heart with an affectionate
letter and some token of love; anc
whether far or near let US each pay tt
mother our tribute of love and respect
and with kind hearts and willing hand:
lift her burdens and make smooth he
pathway along the years.

Parents, Are Your
Children in School?

Every child between the ages of
eight and fifteen should be in school
every day in the session.
That is according to the latest law.
Are you abiding by the law? You may
be fined from FIVE to twenty dollars for
the first offense, and from ten to fifty
dollars for the second, and each subse-
quent offense, with costs in each case.
1t is the duty of the County Super
intendent to see that the country peo-
pie send their children to school every
day, and the duty Of the City Superin-
tendent to see that the city people send
their children every day.
1t is the duty of the parents to salts
fly the superintendent, in each case,
that the child is too sick to attend
school or that it is absolutely necessary
for the child to stay out of school for
the support of the parent.
This is applicable, also, to guardians
of children.
If you neglect sending your children
to school, and thus throw yourself liable
to arrest and fine, don't blame the off
GERS whose duty it is to look after such
negligence.
Some children are staying out of
school because they want to, and the
parents don't care; others are staying
out because the parents have a little
work they would like to have done, and
would rather disobey law than to hire
some one else, or plan to have the
children do the work out of school
hours. Such people are being looked
up; and, If found guilty, will be warned
kindly Ly the teachers of their children.
After that the County Attorney will be
notified of the negligence. It is his
duty to arrest such people and fine them
according to the offense.
| If you don't want to pay for your
negligence, all you need to do is to see
that your children, or those under your
care, attend school regularly and have
good excuses when they are absent.
Remember, the new law says, "Of
and between the ages of eight and
fifteen" That means "Any one who
is eight or more up to sixteen"

ITO ENpEAvoR TO BRING THE
TURkISH-lTALlAN WAR
TO AN END. y
TO CONFER WITH KAISER
Summoned to Meet Emperor Wilhelm
at Venice Soon, to Discuss
Possible Terms of
Settlement.

London, April 6.-Great interest re
suited in financial circle here when
Rome cables announced that ]. Pier
pont Morgan, the noted America finan
cier, has been Commanded" to meet
the kaiser in, Venice in the near fu
ture. The Germany emperor is now
winding up brief vacation on the
Island of Corfu and will return to Ber
lin by the way of Venice and there
will confer with the financier.
The consensus of opinion here is
that the conference may be most mo-
mentous because of the bearing it will
have on the Italian-Turkish war. The
war Is source Of worry for financiers
everywhere, as it is recognized that
the slightest overt act on the part OF
either of the belligerents might in
volve other nations. This has become
more evident recently since Italy has
assumed the offensive elsewhere than
in Tr1poli.
1t is argued here that Morgan re.
Gently has had an audience with King
Victor and is in position probably
to know just what are the best terms
Turkey may expect at the hands of
her foe. 1nasmuch as the kaiser has
great influence with Turkey, if Nor.
gan unofficialH communicates to him
these terms and he, in turn, through
the German embassy at Constantin.
ople, lets the sultan and his ministers
know what to expect, it can be quickly
determined, without publicity, whether
the time is ripe for Germany or any
of the friendly powers to come into
the open with suggestions for a peace
plan.
Friends of Morgan here are deeply
interested in the suggestion that the
American financier has adopted the
role of a peacemaker. They say that
he has been deeply stirred recently
becasse Of the danger ol Balkan com
plications, and it is believed he will
urge the kaiser to throw all of his in
fluence toward having Turkey cede
Triroli to Italy, and thus end the war;

Man stTII In the Majority.

e. Dana Durand, discussing in the
Worlds Work immigration in rela-
tion to the census says that among
the foreign-born whites in the United
States in 1910 who had been in this
country less than ten years. there
were 1856 males to 100 females. OF all
foreign-born whites combined, the
males numbered 7,522,000 and the fe-
males 6,s21.0o0. or 1923 males to each
100 females; In 1900 the proportion
was III. These figures contrast strik-
ingly with the sex distribution OF tho
native white population, in which
there was 10S males par 100 -
males.

GOOD ROADS LETTER.
My DEAR Mr.. EDITOR:

Along with a good MANY others.
have watched with sympathetic inter
est the discussion carried on in Won
columns concerning the state of the
public roads.
Whenever I have occasion TO go from
home, / am reminded of the need o.
oetterment. and join in the general
growl about bad roads, and perhaps
too, like all those who have any sign
OF temper in their makeup. indulge in
little abuse of the powers that be and
in wonderment as to Why somebod y
dosent do something about il.
We all recognize the desirabifitv of
good roads and we all want them. so we
say. The respons Utility for the iudicious
expenditure of the road funds seems to
rest with the supervisors and their ap-
pointed agents, the road surveyors.
Whether they do all they can with the
money Won and the public must Judge
for yourselves. Our surveyor in the
Westville District has the sound fun
damental idea in road making. that
the first essential is dra mage. That
is so true that 1t iucIudes most
of the other essentials. We have good
dirt almost everywhere and if the,road
is once put right side mp and above
water, it wont take much TO keen il
there.
But there may be two sides TO the
road question as there are to the road.
Now, have cynically minded friend
who likes ALWAYS the opposite side of
every question, just as my old white
horse likes the opposite side Of the
road. | will not give my friends name
but will quote a little of his talk. He
says: 1.-THE principle of protection to
home industries has been the policy
under which this county has thrived
for fifty years; why not apply it to the
local affairs of Mathews county? Take
all those wheelwright and blacks NTH
shops OF the county, there a good many
thousand dollars invested in them and
a good many of our people make their
living by selling and repairing the
cheap buggies that we are so fond Of |
10 this section. 1t is the dust holes !!
that form in summer and the muI holes
that form IN winter that rack and jolt.
the sand that griDds iron and wood,
the dust that spoiis leather and paint
and clothes. the ruts we love TO run IN,
the collisions with those cute little
bridges. built high at both ends and
Ipw IN the middle, that wear out our
ehieies and our ea1dy-long-leg trot-
'ers. All this makes business for our
The Mathews journal. (Mathews C.H. [Court House]) 1903-1937, 1912-11-28

own citizens, as well as for the stes
trust and the buggy. factories. If yot
put the roads in first class order, thC
wheelwright will be ruined and those
good men will be forced 10 close their
shops or seek a living in some less
progressive neighborhood.
Now, while you and do not agree
with my friends logic, his arguments
are about all that can be presented on
that side of the question.
Mr.. Editor let us do little guessing
ing and then figure on it. There are
some l,5O0 men of voting age in Math-
ews county and probably they aver age
one buggy per man. BIT say there
are 1000 buggies in the county at an
avera cost of $50 each. That is an
investment of $4,000. The average
life of those buggies is, say, five years.
The annual Investment in buggies is
then $40. 900. The average cost of re-
pairs is hardly less than IS per year.
That gives SIS. 600 for repairs and a
total annual upkeep of $4,000. Sup
pose good roads should add only two
years 10 the life of the vehicle anu re-
duce the cost of repairs to So per year.
The annual investment is reduced to
81, 143.an the cost of repairs TO So, 600.
Total annual expense $1O,143. The
annual saving. due to good roads, is
then S4.857. That sum ought to pay
interest and sinking fund on $50, 600.
And $4,000 is enough to put all the
roads in Mathews in splendid condi-
ton for indehnate wear. Should the
buggy users contribute their saving of
S4.SS per year, the roads could be built
and would not cost them or the county
one cent.
Now, Mr.. Editor. if ANYBODY quar-
-els With these figures. / will be very
glad to have him correct them and
show just how much will be saved on
ust this one item OF prosperity and
we will say nothing about the saw
