I'VE will be poorer and the present

state of luxury that is acting as such
a depressing agent to the character of
the people of this country" declar-
ed Joseph H. Choate in recent ad-
dress in New York. Another great

The Loveland sugar factory finish
ed grinding the beets for the sea-
son of 1914 and 1915 last week and

In the immigration bill, now be-
fore congress, is clause, drafted by
the American Medical association
which provides for the exclusion of
aliens who are persons of constitu-
tional psychopathis inferiority." Not
a member of the senate, which is sup
posed to be compo sed of smart men
knew what "psychopatic inferiority''
meant. Senator Smith, of South
Carolina, who introduced the bill said
the medical doctors put the phrase
in the bill and it must be all right.
Senators seem to have the same trou-
Bile as reporters in finding out what
doctors are talking about. Feeble
minded persons could have been sub
stituted for "psychopatic inferiority,"
but evidently that did not sound suf-
ficiently dangerous and incurable.

The Passing OF A Young Life.

The grim reaper selected a bright young
life when he laid low in death Mrs. Char
lOtte Briggs. wife Of Mr.. Herman Briggs.
Mrs. Briggs was in Gaithersburg Friday.
April 9th, apparently as well as usual.
Saturday, la grippe laid its fatal touch
upon her. On Sunday evening her physi-
clan, DIR. E. c. Etchison, was sent for and re-
manned by her bedside until Monday morn
ing. when he deemed it wise to have her
removed to the hospital in Washington.
Here all was done that human skill could
do, but without avail The heart failed
and this young life passed from the loving
care of those who would have kept her
with them.
Two years and four months ago Miss
Charlotte Ward was united in marriage to
Mr.. Herman Briggs. Shortly after their
marriage they moved to the farm, one and
a half miles from Gaithersburg, on which
Mr. Briggs had built new and substantial
house. Here they lived happily together
until the sad parting came on Monday.
April 18th.
Mrs. Briggs was the youngest child Of
Mr.. +. u. Ward and Mrs. Charlotte Ward.
of Washington city. These. together with
two sisters and two brothers of Mrs. Briggs,
remain to mourn the loss of their dear one.
Mrs. Briggs was devoted wife and con-
slant companion of her husband The
sympathy Of the community goes out to
the husband in these hours of his bereave-
ment.
Mrs Briggs united with the Methodist
Church in Washington. at the age of twelve.
and continued member until her death.
At 2 O'Clock Thursday, April 18th. her
funeral services were held in Grace Metho-
dist Church, Gaithersburg, and were con-
Quoted by Rev. J. Harry Smith. former
pastor. assisted by Rev M. II. Keen, the
present pastor. The large auditorium of
the church was filed with sOrrowing rela-
tives and sympathetic friends. The must
cal selections were Jesus, Lover Of My
Soul" Lead Kindly Light" and Some
time Well Understand"
God never would send us the darkness
If he felt we could bear the light
But we would not cling to his guiding hand
II the way were always bright;
And we would not care to walk by faith
Could we always walk by sight.
Then nestle your hand in your Fathers.
And sing. II you can. as you 90:
Your song may cheer someone behind you
Whose courage is sinking low;
And. well. II your lips do culver.
God will love you better so"
