In the death of U. E. Beach which oc
Cured April 6, Salisbury loses one of
its oldest citizens, he having been born
March 25. 1925. For several months he
had suffered greatly from heart disease,
and also had other infirmities incident
to old age, chiefly increasing deafness,
and blindness from cataracts which in
large measure shut him out from
knowledge of current events, in which
he had always lively interest. He was
one of those who went to California
with the gold-seekers in '49, but the
greater part of his life was passed in
Salisbury.
In 1853 he married Fidelia Sanford,
who preceded him to the other side
two years ago. They had eight chill
dren, of whom seven survive, one
daughter having passed away in 1855,
eleven grand children and three great
grandchildren also survive him.
The funeral was held Monday, April
8, at his home, Rev. Peter Heller offici-
ating. He stated that the deceased was
the oldest member of the Salisbury
Congregational church, having united
with it in 1854. 1t was said to him one
day when he lamented what he called
his Improbable" life, 'If a man
| makes two blades of grass grow where
one grew before, he is public bene-
factor" and universal testimony would,
on the ground, pronounce him such.
The 23d psalm was his favorite Scripture
and for years he repeated it nightly, anc
almost his last words, spoken between
labored breaths two days before his
death, were "The Lord is my Shepherd. .

DUANE L. MILD.
Duane P. Mills of Ripton passed from
this life to the great beyond April 18th
from a shock of paralysis sustained the
End from which he never fully recovered
consciousness. He was born in Middle
bury village February 20, 184S. His
parents moved to New Haven when he
was three years old. Twenty-Five years

tiers, Mrs. Sarah Fisher of Ripton, Mrs.
Esther Murphy of Bristol, Miss Bessie
Mills of st. Adams, Mrs. Annie Beaudry,
of Burlington, and five grandchildren

held from the M. Z. church at 2 p. M,
the 10th, Rev. Mr.. Coulter officiating.
The bearers were S. C. Gibbs, D. w.
Smith, John Goodro, Levi Goodro.
Burial was in Cook cemetery.
He has gone to his home in glory,
We cannot wish him back,
To his now lonely home on the hill side,
His presence is all we lack.
The family circle is broken,
The day at last has come
When the angels have come to claim him
And welcome our loved one home.

COM MuNICATION.

To The Forum: I see by your Sat-
urday issue that Fargo is to have an
other tag day for the Crittenton home.
Your paper being a medium by which
all, / think, have a right to voice an
opinion, I want to ask if such a home
in the center of a civilized people
should be supported by a public tag
day? 1t brings bushes to the pure
girl or woman to be accosted on the
street and asked to aid in the support
Of women Of such a type. No honest
working girl or woman should be
called upon to help support such an
institution. The fallen woman, like
the poor, is always with us-but let
her be supported by the county to
which she belongs-or by the one who
has brought the degradation upon her.
1t is a shame for a city the size Of
largo to tell of her fifty inmates Of
such an institution. God help the in
nocent girl who hreathes the atmos-
phere of such a neighborhood. II it
were not known to this class of wom-
en- that a home awaited them, perhaps
there would be less vice. The large
majority is willing to support the
helpless child--but to be asked to sup
a nome for vice is where I pre-
sumo we may ask, Am ! my brothers

TIE KID,

Is this country full Of snObs? Some
evidence that such is the case is found
in the fact that the press associations
deemed the birth of an heir to the
Duke and Duchess of R%oxburgh
worthy of exploitation to the tune of
a pretty tidy sum for cable tolls.
OF what interest to the vast ma
jority of American readers is it that
she who vas Miss May Goelet is the
mother of a son? Thousands of other
the same day, yet non Of them had
their names flung broadcast by the
great news associations, though it is
a safe prediction that among these
found in after life more genuine worth,
more real men and women, than in
the whole line of Roxburghs, past,
present and future.
That section Of New York's social
life known as 1.-The smart set" Though
why smart" is a question, as that
aggregation is by common consent
credited with containing more fools
than a like number anywhere else
under the canopy might be expected
to take some interest in the affair, but
the balance of the country paid much
less attention to it than it would to
the news that there had been an addi-
ion to the family Of Pauline, the form
er White House COW.

MuNsTERBERG AND HIS DOTS.

The recent experiments Of Professor
Munsterherg with dots, and his Del
phic corollary thereto, that women
are untitled by nature for jury duty,
are still provoking comment.
1t may be suggested that all forms
Of philosophy have their affectations
and their pretenses, and Of these mod
ern psychology seems to possess its
full quota. 1t may be that Professor
Munsterberg's experiments were mis-
PLACED by the Associated Press, and
should have appeared in the joke COL
ice by calling attention to the real
facts in the case.
The trouble is that since the days
of the cave nan the lords of creation
have had an artificial standard of
their own making, as to what women
folks were, and should be, and among
them was a, belief in mans present.
nent sense Of Justice. and woman's
great lack in this regard. It is hard
to get rid of inherited ideas, even
when they run counter to facts and
experience.
The real truth, and one that must
be apparent to every impartial stu
dent. is that a fundament sense of
justice Is n of woman's most char
~acteristic traits. and that it is much
more elemental in its nature than is
mans. SO elemental is it that always.

THE ~cRITTENToN HOME.

In this issue of The Forum appears
a signed communication, in which the
Florence Crittenton home is criticised.
The writer of his communication owl
IDENTIFY is very greatly misinformed as
to the nature Of this home,
: No charity Of modern times is more
! needed, more practical nor more de-
serving CT the support Of every person
of true manhood Or womanhood than
this work that is being done at the
Florence C%rittenton home. The wom-
en-, or rather girls, who are cared for
in this home are mere children. They
are not hardened. In most cases they
have been the victims of h most de-
spicable specimens of humanity hat
are allowed to draw breath. OF nine
ty-three cases that were cared for by
the home in the fiscal year 1912 and
1913, the average age was 10 a
In nan instances they are school
girls, little things aged IL, 10. IA or Is
years. These are horrible facts-but
they are facts and they must be faced
by the community.
If it were not for this home, hun
dreds Of girls, who are now saved to
live clean lives, would become out
casts, and a prey on the community
for the remainder of their lives.
Many will ay, they should be cared
for by their families. But in many
instances they have no families. OF
the ninety-three cases mentioned,
fourteen were orphans. But because
they happen to have families, who
through ignorance, or brutal, unnat-
ural indifference or even c~onnivance.
allow these little, innocent girls to be
ruined. is that any reason why society
should kick them still farther into the
"outer darkness?
The work of the Florence Crittenton
home is not alone to save those who
have fallen. 1t does a great p~reventa-
tive work, n the very knowledge
that there is need of such a home, un-
doubtedly has saved many from a
tragic and fearful mistake.
There is a species of false modesty
I'M many homes, which is one of the
most damnable fallacies with which
the human race has to deal.
The Forum does not particularly
enthuse oyer a tag day. 1t believes
that there are perhaps other methods
of raising money, that would have less
objectionable features. But it does
believe that if there is to be a tag day,
no institution within the confines of
Fargo is more worthy of having it
supported thar the Crittenton home.
