Duty

President Wilson, in his brief ad-
dress at the collins of dead marines
and bluejackets, may not have touched
the heights reached in the Gettysburg
address, but he said some things that
will linger in the memory. Like that
famous address of Abraham Lincoln's
its keynote was duty.
DUTY is not an unusual thing" said
he. men continually are making
great sacrifices to perform it."
Woodrow Wilson spoke from full
heart. Just now he is being forced
to perform duties that from their
very nature must be hateful to man
who loves peace and the ways of peace
There were grief, pride and "a touch
Of envy, spun through with certain
wistfullness, in his address.
Through no fault of his nation has
drawn very close to war, the war that
he termed "only a sort of dramatic
representation, dramatic symbol of
a thousand forms Of duty" He is
making sacrifices and he understands
that the whole people are making sac
rifices to duty. The President is the
target for the sneers of the jingo, the
malcontent, the envious and the par
tisan; the man in the uniform is the
target for those more honorable
enemies who seek merely TIC take life
and not to destroy the peace of the
soul and blacken the reputation.
That spirit of duty guiding the
President is shown in these words;
"The cheers of the moment are no,
what man ought to think about, but
the verdict Of his own conscience and
of the consciences of mankind

Tell your friends about The Times.
II is the livest Democratic paper in
this section of the country.
praisinp Woodrow Wilson.

William Allen White, the brilliant
Republican Editor of a Kansas paper
has this to say about President Will
son and his management Of the Mex
lean situation:
How well he seems to have managed
it-this whole sordid business of go
ing to war; how fair he has been;
how dignified; how infinitely gentle
and kind No buster, no threats, no
smoker of anticipation; no licking of
the nations chops-just simple-soul-
ed, brave, soft hearted, hard headed
man. It is sad enough to go into war
of any kind at any time; but it is
less sad to go knowing that every
honorable means has been taken to
keep away from war. And this con-
ISOLATION President Wilson has given
US by his wise, forebearing, Christian
attitude before the provocation Of u
foe mad and desperate and foolish.
The good God, who knows all and
watches over all, and see all. and
directs all, was in our hearts deeper
than we knew when as n nation we
chose this great. serene soul to lead

b. +. Casteel of about two miles
east of town reports a freak chicken
Matched on his farm the early part of
the week. Mr.. Casteel says that the
extra two limbs are just as perfect
as the regular ones, and the little
chick is apparently healthful and pert
as any of the flock. Just what new
breed of chicken this is that has come
to the Castsel place, Mr.. Casteel is at
a loss to know, but any way he seems
TO be proud of it and says that he will
make every effort necessary to grow
this new species. There would be at
least one advantage in the producing
of variety of this kind,in that there
would be some added selections when
it came to serving the fowl as food.

Standard Oil Station Running

Sometime ago mention was made in
the columns of the Times that N. A,
Zimmerman was making some effort
to have the Standard Oil Company put
in a station here. According to Mr.
Zimmerman's report the station has
been established, and he ID now in full
charge of same. One of the good re-
suits possibly that may come to the
Pennington users of kerosene and
gasoline is more of competition, and
as a further consequence probably a
lower price for oils.

NATIONAL Child
LABOR MEETING

.. J. E1ttFlt .4~-" ~. %r.hi E ...
New Orleans, March 14.-The tenth.
annual National Child Labor Confer.
ence will begin here tomorrow after
noon with an open air mass meeting
in Lafayette Square opposite City
Hall. This departure in the manner OF
holding the first meeting OF the con-
ference was made in an endeayor to
attract to the sessions the people
whom the child lplife work is destin.
ed to benefit. City officials have ar
ranged for a seating capacity of sew
eral thousand.
For several weeks leaders in child
labor endeavors here have tried to
impress upon persons whose children
are employed in Industrial plants to
attend the first meeting. Some Of the
most prominent speakers OF the con-
ference will address the open air
meeting. These include Jane Adams
Of Hull House, Chicago; DR.. Felix Ad-
Ter, chairman Of the National Child
Labor Committee under the auspices
of which the conference is held; Lu-
Their E. Hall, Governor of Louisiana;
Martin Bahrman, Mayor of New Or
leans; Senator Robert l.. Owen of
Oklahoma, and Judge Joseph E. Nc
CullOugh of Greenville, 8. C..
Among other speakers at the con-
ference which will extend over four
days, are some of the foremost child
labor betterment advocates in the
country.
The program this year is devoted
largely to the need for enforcement
Of the state child labor laws, rather
than a plea for more drastic measures
in this respect. A call for a change
Of laws in some states will not be
overlooked, it is said, hut an earnest
plea will be made for enforcement
Of what are considered good laws.
"A great many Of the states have
good child labor laws now" said
Miss Jean M. Gordon, former Louis
lana factory inspector and who took
! prominent part in arranging, for this
conference. For instance Louisiana
mad a good law as far back Us 1888,
but it was not enforced until recent
years. A few years ago we saw the
need for a more stringent act and
We got 1t. Enforcement of measures
now on the statute books will do
wonders toward solving the problem
Of the working child, particularly in
The cotton mills OF the South"
Miss Gordon said she believed con-
;erences of former years had not
reached their full Importance because
people who work in the factories and
mills have not been attracted to the
meetings. It is for this reason the
mass meeting was planned and some
interest aroused among workers in
New Orleans.
On March 20 a meeting of the
Southern conference Of Women and
Child Labor will be held. Many of the
delegates to the national organization
are members of the Southern confer
ence and their work IS along much
the same lines. The Southern confer
ence is. a new organization having
been formed in 1910 in Memphis.

HANDSOME JACK
UP FOX MURDER

Chicago, 1lI:, March t4.-Joln d.
("Handsbme Jack"') K%oetters,l E WHO
was captured In San francisco recent
~ after a countrywide search extend
ing over more than a year, win be
arra,gned in court here Monday to
stand trial for the alleged murder OF
Mrs. Emma Kraft, a weli.to-do widow
whose home was In Cincinnati.
Mrs Kraft was murdered on Novsm
Der IA, 1912. The crime was commit
ted in her room in the Saratoga I1O-
tel, where she was a guest. The Wea-
pom used by the murderer was an or
binary hammer, with which the vic
TINS skull had been crushed. The
hammer vas found wrapped in a
mans shirt On the 4-oor near the dead
body.
In their efforts to unravel the ,nys-
terry Of the murder the police were
baffled for some time by a failure to
identify the victim. Not until nearly
a week after the tragedy was it es.
tablished that the Woman's name was
Mrs. Emma Kraft and that she had
come to Chicago from Cincinnati. In
quiry in the last-named city brought
to light the fact that she had come
to Chicago in response to a. letter
written to her by Koetters. +
Further investigation tended to
show that the woman had long been
infatuated with Koetters, who was
many years her junior. From what
could be learned Koetters was ad-
dicted to gambling and fast living
and was usually looking for easy
money He was supposed to be a tel
egrapher but was seldom known to
work at that or any other calling.
When the police learned of the re-
lationslip that had existed between
Mrs. Kraft and Koetters the theory
was formed that noetters had CON-
mitted the murder either to rid him
self OF the woman or to obtain a con
siderable sum Of money which she
was known to have had when she left
Cincinnati. Attaches of the hotel
