mothers hand if she thinks that by
the use of suffrage she can safeguard
the welfare of those who are dearer
to her than her own life.
The mother can justly claim the
right to employ every weapon which
can be made effective for the protec-
ton of those whose interests she
guards, and the ballot will put with
in her reach all the instrumentalities
of government, including the police
power. If she is a widow, there is no
one who is in a position to speak
for her in this matter of supreme i'm
portance; if her husband is living
she can supplement his influence if
they agree as to what is best for those
under their joint care; if they do
not agree, who will say that only the
father should be consulted?

THE SAD RECORD

TT was a rather mean trek of The
Johnstown Democrat to delve in
: to history and bring forth the not
over joyful industrial record which
was written during the days when
Colonel Roosevelt was occupying the
White House as president of these
United States. The Democrat gives
days and dates, showing that the con-
ditions which prevailed during that
period were somewhat like they are
at the present time under the reign
of President Wilson. Here is the re-
cord, sad as it was:

Right now the distinctions between
Europe and America are pretty sharp
ly drawn. Frank Crane says Europe
is true to the glorious traditions of
the past-America to the glorious
principles of the future; Europe is
thinking Of her ancestry-America
of her PROSPERITY; European workmen
are fighting for their kings-Ameri-
can workmen are fighting for better
wages, their families and the future;
Europe plumes herself on the playing
the grandest war-game in history
America knows she is playing the
best baseball.

minimizing other arguments advanced
in support of the extending OF suff-
rage to woman, place the emphasis
upon the mothers right to voice in
molding the environment which shall

which operates powerfully in deter
mining whether her offspring will

The Creator has placed upon the
mother a burden which she could not
shift if she so desired and He has
given her the disposition to bear it.
Her life trembles in the balance at
the child's birth; her active years are
given to the care and nurture of her
childen; her nerve force and vital
energy are expended in their behalf;
her exaustless love is poured out up
on them. Because the wealth of her
existence is bestowed upon them, they
are part Of her very being-"where

countants of recognized ability to eX- anime and audit the accounts of the county and to devise a system in con formity with good business practices and existing laws for the keeping of the records and accounts so that the county and its officers may be at all times protected and the books show a true and accurate statement of it's affairs
 We feel that it was not our sole duty to punish individuals, but it was our duty to assist in bringing about conditions that would benefit the gen era public and prevent law-breakins. and in several instances we have had persons brought before us and we have cited them to the law and ad- monshed them not to infringe upon it again, and in every case we have received the earnest cooperation of those so treated.
 We have found that the justices of the peace with very few exceptions are too anxious to bind a prisoner over to the grand jury. It leaves us with the impression that the amount of fees in the case are the paramount issues with the justices instead of the administration of law and justice. Tn some instances, judging from the small amount of fines and large amountlof fees, in cases of nuisance, the justice court has become a court ol iniquty instead of a court of jus tice. We heartily recommend that the Garland County Bar Association use it's strongest efforts to have the justices of Uhe peace courts abolished in towns and cities of over 1000 in- habitants and a municipal court be established, with judge on a salary.
 We recommend that the county judge and the circuit judge insist that the constable and sheriff have all deputies commissions properly ap- proved and sworn to before the cir cult clerk.

Poindexter. The guns will shoot the same whether landed at Vera Cruz or Puerto Mexico"
 Senator Lodge replied that the ad- ministration had announced officially this councry was not at war with Mex ico and hence so long as the United States was not actually in possession of a port it could not object to the landing of imports there.
 There was no need for a German cruiser to convoy the German ship, added Senator Lodge.
 Reports that plans were under con sideration for withdrawing troops from Vera Cruz were denied today by officials close to the president. It was indicated that the plan is to keep troops at Vera Cruz until the Mexican problem has been settled definitely.
 Secretary Bryan conferred with agents of the constituencies and late in the day he saw the Spanish ambassador, who called in the inter- est of Spanish citizens in Mexico. Expulsion of the Spaniards from Tor reon and threats before the taking of Saltillo are subjects still under con sideration.
