What the evidence showed is one
thing; what actually happened is
quite another.
No matter what the evidence
showed in court, the fact is that Bel
ford was not in any threatening or
attacking party when he was shot.
The Progressive Club will discuss
that telephone job tomorrow night.
But how about the Progressive or

YOU CAN'T BE A MOTHER AND
TEACH IN NEW YORK

New York, Oct. 8.-The Board of
Education, while willing that teach
ers shall marry, has put the kibosh
on their becoming mothers, and any
teacher who wants to hold her job
must henceforth ally herself with the
believers in race suicide"
The Board of Education has quite
a nifty" reason for this stern de-
cree. Any teacher who stays home
to give birth to a child is necessarily
neglecting her duty, as in the case
of Mrs. Bridget C. Peixotto, who abb
scented herself from her classes Feb.
8 and remained absent until suspend
ed, April %, having given birth to a
baby on April Z.
A thorough investigation will be
made to discover if any other mar
ried teachers have been guilty of a
similar neglect" and they will be
suspended if found out.
DR.. Ira S. Vile, in making an ap-
peal to the board for the retention of
Mrs. Peixotto, referred to the various
ways in which other states treat
their women teachers who become
mothers.
''In West Virginia the teacher not
only gets leave of absence, but gets
also full pay" he said. 'In Alabama,
Florida, Kentucky, Nebraska and
Rhode Island the teachers get leave
Of absence, but without pay. In Rus

they are mothers.
Experience shows that a woman
after she is mother makes2a better
teacher, more sympathetic instruc-.
tor and harder worker. Surely sheT
commits no crime when she fulfills a.
natural function"
But in spite of the fact that DR..
Vile said that the eyes of the nation
were on New York in this matter, the
Board of Education decided to dis

ANOTHER spencer" TALE TO
BE VERIFIED?
Captain Halpin of the Detective
Bureau believes he can verify anoth-
er one of Henry Spencer's murder
tales. -
Police records show that on the
night of December 2, 1908, James A.
Fullenweider, an attorney, 472 E.
SD street, was held, up at AID street
and Wabash avenue and shot. He
died the next day.
Before this fact was looked up,
Spencer had confessed that about
that time he had held up and shot

avenue.
Spencer showed his first trace of
human emotion yesterday when he
asked that out of his last 5000, SITS

Fishing on Sunday.

What is supposed to be a rather
unusual violation Of the state game
and fish laws here has been reported
10 The Journal in the discovery o.
two white men fishing last Sunday
on Kinchafoonee creek, just above
Jackson bridge near Leesburg. AS
the report comes to The Journal the
fishermen were both white, or ap-
parently so, though the one who
was discovered first got out Of the
way 50 rapidly that he could not
be recognized.
Il was further reported that the
fisherman seen had evidently had a
good day Of it, assshe had a pretty
good string of fish to show for the
DAVIS sport. He also had fishing
pole in his hand, SO that the evil
dence was very clearly against him.
1t is a pity that these yiolators Of
both the moral and the state laws
were not recognized and appre-
hended. The discovery Of them was
reported to Deputy Game Warden
Tracy, Of this district, and with his
usual alterness Mr.. Tracy will en-
deavor to see that there are no more
violations Of the law in this parti-
cular around here, as he is very
anxious to apprehend the recent
violators if possible.

l desire the space to express
through your columns appreciation
for the excellent work that is being
done in behalf Of Lee county and
its tax system in the work accom-
plished- by Tax Receiver Goode
Price since he has been in Office. 1t
is not often that county tax rece-
ivers have such high praise given
them as was recently given by Com
ptroller General Wright to work
done by Mr.. Price.
The people Of Lee county should
Justly appreciate the work that such
a worthy official does in lnakingthe
burden Of taxation lighter by en-
deavoring to see that every taxpayer
pays what he should into the coun-
ty and state treasury. 1t ls-i1o easy
Job, and one that meets with many
discouraging forces.
Throughout all Of this difficult
work Mr.. Price has done his duty
and,, effected largely by his own Ell
fort, an increase Of more than

Such public officer deserves the
thanks Of every taxpayer. Such an
officer is one who gains respect tol
his Office and for the county both at

Excellent Schools Here.

The record that is being made by
the local schools in general progress
siveness and excellence in instrue-
tion is one that has probably never
been eoualled here. The principal
and corps Of teachers are giving the
patrons Of the Leesburg schools,
which draw students from all sec
tons Of the county, the very best
service obtainable here.
There is no feature Of its many
excellent activities Of which Lee
county can feel prouder than OF its
splendid schools. The Leesburg
schools are better than they have
been in many years. The teachers
are taking more interest in the
work, and the patrons are support
ING the schools here more enthusiast
tically and with greater unanimity
than in many years.
Such indications as these show
the general trend Of progress and
development in Lee county, which
has never been more marked than
At this time. Such good work IN
the way Of boosting Lee county
through its educational system
should be continued. Mr.. Harrell
and Mr.. Howell are to be congra-
tulated.

AUTO-pOLO GAMES
MAY Be SEEN HERE
Negotiations Under Way to
Secure Athletic Park
For Exhibition.

Negotiations are under way with
owners of the Athletic park to secure
the grounds for an exhibition game
of auto polo teams before they go on
the 1914 tour through European coun-
tries. Eighteen games We're played at
Madison Square Garden in the Fall of
1912.
Auto-Polo as originated by J. j..
Jones of the Jones Auto Exchange,
Ford dealer at Wichita, is a new and
successful completion of the old style
polo in which was found so much en-
thusiasm among the local public. The
game is being promoted by the Chi
cago Original Auto-Polo company
through the Bernhard Auto Agency, To-
Gated in this city.
The game as played under the regu-
lation rules, of which only a few
changes are made to conform to the
new style of contestants, provides for
two field cars stripped to the chassis
while two other cars serve as goal
tenders. Each car is occupied by dri-
yer and a jockey, who standing on
the running board with a wooden NAL
let in hand drives a regulation size
basket ball between two posts similar
to the football goal. The rules provide
for a field measuring 800 by 200 feet.
The polo company is touring all over
the country, it's opening game being
played at Hot Springs, Ark, on
March 20. Games have already been
scheduled for New Albany, Vincennes
and Evansville and according to cor
responsiveness of the local promoter,

name of Miss Anna Wilson. The in
quest will not be completed today, but
will be continued when the Oceanic
returna to this port in April. In the

ship entered the harbor here Saturday

dicatiCas were suspicious, Miss Leslie
had previously informed her friends
that she was at one time subject to
epileptse fits. This gave rise to the
theory that she had fallen during such
paroxysm. A cablegram from the
girls mother, however, contained an
intfnla.tion that a certain man on
board the ship (whose name is with
heidi had poisoned the girl. This led
to an Investigation which is still in
progress. .
