CURED in this state, first in the public
schools Of Harrisville and later in

When the Civil war opened he was
eighteen years Of. age, and his patriot

part in the long, hard marches and
numerous battles in which 1t was en-
Shenandoah valley and took part in
the battle Of Winchester, whore he was
wounded September 10, 1864, by a
gunshot in the left arm. He was dis

the war closed. He was taken pris-
oner at Flatwoods. w. Va, October s.
1852. and after being confined in Libby
prison for one week was paroled Oc-
tober 30. He was again taken prisoner
by General Mosby in 1864, but effected

and useful soldier and at the time he
was wounded he was serving as as
sistant adjutant general of brigade.
He received honorable promotion in
the battle Of Winchester, but he de-
clined to accept the office rendered

That is the cold blooded view, with no eye on the moral issue.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
(Boston Record.)

England is undertaking a number of things due directly to the influence of war necessities which she will have to consider in a broader light some day:
 and We must believe that her states men have this fact In mind. The pro- hibition issue Is patently so regarded. and we must conclude that the sudden reaction. and reluctance to push the strictest law through now. as a war measure, is due to the fear of what may happen after the war is over either through excessive drinking on a big scale If the emergency prohibit
 tion measure is allowed to lapse then. or through popular dissatisfaction with . drastic prohibition in peace days.

WoM EN AND THE VOTE.
tBoston Record.)

Nevada women. according to the re- ports from Reno, voted in favor of the profitable liberalism of the state and city, which by means of easy divorces and plentiful saloons. etc, fattens the states prosperity and adds to the gaiety and liveliness of life there. We shall presumably hear from critics of woman suffrage that here is an ans- wer to the claim that social reforms will be clinched. and evil wiped out. by extension of the suffrage to women in all the states. But that is dangerous argument to pursue For then what becomes of our belief in the right of the people to vote and ruel? We have never had it demonstrated that the votes of men are always and immedi- ateiy on the side of reform and virtue. If we continue to derry the vote to women because some of them may vote on the easy and loose moralled side, We must be logical, and disfranchise man who do the same thing The real strength of the suffragists' argu- ment lies not in what such suffrage will do for social and moral better ment. but on the simple and direct as- sumption that women are people, and that the people must rule. We do not judge popular government by it's mis- takes. but by its successes. The fun uamentai principle is correct.

IS MOTHERHOOD A HOST ARTw
(Boston kecord.) )

We meet the assertion frequently One of the latest to make 1t Is Mrs Catherine Booth -Clibborn. daughter of the Salvation Army founder. Gen. William Booth, who told the Inter- national Purity Congress at San Francisco that motherhood is un- ble in this function of life. That there has been some preachment in belittle- ment of motherhood is true; but we do not take so gloomy view of the sit uation. On the contrary, we believe that there is more expert motherhood" in this part of the world today than ever before. Scientific care of infants, proper preparation for motherhood, precautionary measures against infant mortality-these are commonplaces oe Knowledge. The United States govern ment, through the admirable work of Julia Lathrop, offers, and circulates widely, the most effectively modern and clearly explained instruction on these matters. Bringing up of chll- dren is not today left to instinct and chance. Infants do not face the ter TOTS of ignorance impossible of al- deviation, as they did a generation ago. Milk stations, nursing--count- less aids to inexperienced mothers are available as never before We believe that motherhood, and fatherhood. are on more dignified and more efficient level than ever before; and we believe that the results are going to show in the coming generation of men and women. Occasional outbursts of
 revolt are passing hysteria of no per manent significance. Human instinct. mother love and father love. are im- perishable human characteristics.

DUMBA EXPECTED TO
SET SAIL FOR HOME
Big Object of Department is TO Get
Ambassador Out of
Country.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. - Am
bassador and Nine. Dumba will sail
from New York for Vienna within the
next week, according to unofficial in
formation reaching the state depart
ment. No arrangements have been
made for a safe conduct and it was
not believed today that any would be
necessary. The ambassador is more
than so years of age and the limit
under which enemy aliens are de-
tanned in the various warning coun-
tries was said here today to be So.
Although Sec'y Lansing declined to
comment on the request of Ambass-
ador Dumba to "be recalled on leave
to report" officials who know his
mind were inclined to believe that he
would raise no serious objection. The
big object they say was to get Dumba
out Of this country and this object
will be attained so soon as Vienna
acts.
The department was making an
earnest effort today to get some word
from Ambassador Penfield to find out
what action the Austrian government
had taken. Communication with the
Austrian capital is demoralized and
it was said in the chief clerks Office
that sometimes it takes a week to get
a short dispatch through.
