FRIENDS TRIBUTE TO
MRS. BEATRICE S. CROSSM0RE.


A friend contributes the following
tribute to Mrs. Beatrice Stewart Cross
more, prominent clubwoman and wife
Of Dr. Crossmore Of Wyoming, whose
funeral will be held from her late
home this afternoon:
Like one who wraps the drapery
of his couch. about him and lies down
to pleasant Dreams" so on Friday
evening, October 10, 1915, Mrs. Bea-
trice Stewart Crossmore. wife of Dr.
James l.. Crossmore of Wyoming, Del
aware, peacefully fell asleep and so
passed to her eternal rest.
A woman of charming personality,
unfailing sympathy and bpundless
tact, she was ever ready to help those
in need, and she will be greatly miss
ed by all in the community
She was a member of the Protestant
Episcopal Church and her pew was
seldom vacant. except for illness. She
was active in the Guild and had been
secretary OF the local branch of the
Woman's Auxiliary since its organiza-
tion. For two years Mrs. Crossmore
was corresponding secretary of the
State Federation of WOmen's Clubs
and endeared herself to many women
throughout the State. For the past
two years she had been president Of
"The Round Table Club of Wyoming" !"
and it is largely due to her enthusi-
asm, courage and tireless energy that
the club today has the splendid home
which was dedicated December 4, last.
But it is not in the church nor in
the club that she will be most greatly
missed. 1t is in the home, a Doctors
home, the place where she not only
unfailingly ministered to the needs
and the comforts of her husband and
her daughter, but also to the many
sick and discouraged, who came there
for help. A trained nurse by profess

suffering and she never deemed II

Unrest in the West
lFrom the PIttsburgh Gazette-TImesl

Travellers returning from the Far
West and the Pacific coast report
manifestations of discomfort with
conditions in that famed region Of
unrest. The dissatisfaction now is
not so narrowly political as it was
a few years back, although neces-
sarily closely related to politics. The
present complaint Is that the Wood
row Wilson tariff has failed TO pro-
duce results. The West is getting
much the same dose Il was compelled
to swallow when the william l.. Will
son tariff law was operative 20 years.
ago. Not even bountiful crops and
the abnormal demand for horses and
cattle created by the war have been
sufficient to restore prosperity
So there is great deal Of talk
among big business men, agricultur-
alists and lumber people, not to
mention small merchants and the
real estaters, of getting rid of the
Democratic party next year. They
say that while manufacturers in the
East and Middle West have been
able largely to neutralize the general
effects of the war and the adverse
influences Of a defective tariff system
by supplying munitions and materials
for the allies, the West has been

The United States Reaps
Where President Wilson SoWed
(From be New York sunD

Within two weeks the seamen's
law, a statute of the United States by
the affirmative act of Woodrow VIII
son, will have done its complete work
on the Pacific. II will have trans
ferred the commerce Of that mighty
ocean TO the Japanese. American
merchants, American farmers. the
American Government itself, will be
at the mercy Of their natural rivals.
On the great lakes the incidence
of the act is beginning to be felt.
Already it takes its place in the
causes Of bankruptcy and heartens all
the owners of Canadian ships in
their struggle for supremacy on
their southern water boundary.
When, next year, all its provisions
are effective, the full measure of its
contribution to alien prosperity will
begin to be apparent, although its
whole mission cannot be accomplish
ed until peace in Europe restores
normal competition on the Atlantic.
The pretence that the seamen's law
had been used as convenient shield
to hide the operation of other causes
has now been destroyed. President
Kruttschnitt of the Pacific Mail has

standing still And that is the one
thing in the world that no Western
er worth while is content to do. II
is not to be disputed, meanwhile,
that there is still a lively and con-
siderable progressive sentiment in
the West. but this appears TO be
centered less on individuals and the
necessity OF a third party than was
the case in 1912 There is evident
the admission that what is needful
to be done next year can be accom-
plished through the fundamentally
of the Republican party, if at all. The
one overshadOwing requirement OF
the situation is that the Democratic
party shall be retired. as the West
has paid heavy penalty for the out
come of the campaign Of three years
ago. Much progressive legislation
has been achieved, and its efficacy
is more or less stoutly defended, but
it does not yield prosperity, and It
is material progress and sustained
development that appeal to men of
the West.
The opportunity presented to the
Republican party is such as seldom
occurs. If its counsellors are wise
they will go in to retrieve rather
than to seek reprisal or visit retri-
button.

the final effort that carried its warn

Alike, But How Different
(From the Portland oregonian.J

As a reason for the armed occupa-
ton of Haiti and for the proposed pro-
tectorate over that republic, Secretary
of State Lansing said:
"These are not properly revolutions:
they are unorganized enterprises
which involve no question of principle;
they are running the country. While
they are in progress people are starv-
ing in the streets of Port-au-Prince
because they cannot secure the sup
plies of food which abound in the
country. Things have been going from
bad to worse and something must be
done. The United States Govern
ment has no purpose Of aggression.
and is entirely disinterested in pro-
noting this protectorate. We have
not even asked for Mole ST. Nicholas"
In warning the rival chiefs of Mex
leo last June that they must get to-
gether or the United States would do
something, President Wilson said
that the leaders Of the revolution with
whose purpose in the FIRST place he
sympathized. in the very hour of their
success have disagreed and turned
their arms against one another" that

for their own residents OF the citizens
of any other nation resident or at
work in her territory% that Mexico
is starving and without a govern
ment,p and that "the people and Gov
ernment of the United States want
nothing for themselves in Mexico"
There is a close similarity between
these descriptions of conditions in
the two countries. but how different is
the treatment we have given. We alone
occupy Haiti, stop the fighting, re-
store peace and demand protector

other nations into conference on the
