One of the most significant steps
that has taken place in the school
systems of the country in the past
few years, has been the examination
of children for congenital defects. In
cities the medical examiners are find
ing each day, certain children that
are inhibited in the course of their
development by physical defects in
the form of weak eyes, poor teeth,
adenoid growths in the nose and other
things that make life for the poor lit
tie victims, burden. That these same
conditions exist in the rural commun-
tiles is beyond question. The parent
VINO is not aware that the future life
of his child will be blasted if his phys
1cal development is not cared for. is
not to blame. The parent who knows
that his child needs attention, and
foohshly trusts to luck and time to
eradicate the defects, is committing
a crime that he will have to pay for
in disappointment and sorrow in his
old age.

Oscar Il. Lewis.

Oscar K Lewis, a former Lancaster
boy, and a member of one of the old
Lancaster families, died at his home
in Salt Lake City on Friday, August
9Th. Mrs. ]. p. Lewis of this city, the
mother of the deceased, had prepared
to take the long journey to that city,
when she received a message that the
funeral services would be held on
Sunday and that her son, Walter,
would come to see her just as soon as
disposition could be made of Os-
cars affairs. The following is taken
from the Salt Lake Tribune, of Satur-
day. August z.
after an illness of only few
hours, Oscar X. Lewis, manager of the
S. S. Walker estate and prominent in
business and club circles, died at 10
o'clock yesterday morning at a local
hospital from general peritOnitis. Mr..
Lewis was apparently in good health
Thursday evening and went to the
Walker summer home in Big Cotton
wood to spend the night. About mid
night he became seriously i'll. DR.. M.
r. Stewart, the family physician, was
called, and about o'clock yesterday
morning Mr.. Lewis was brought. to
a hospital in Salt Lake. Preparations
were made to operate on him, but
death came before the operation could
be performed. He is survived by his
widow, Mrs Mercy Walker Lewis, two
daughters, Mrs Mercy Lewis futile
and Miss Frances Lewis, and one
brother, Walter C. Lewis, all of Salt
Lake.
Funeral Services Sunday.
Funeral services will be held at the
family residence, 125 West Fifth South
street, at o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Interment will be made in Mt. Olivet
cemetery.
Mr.. Lewis was born in Lancaster,
Wis, fifty-five years ago. While a
young man stories of wealth to be
gained in mining brought him to
Butte, where he accepted a position
as a clerk in the Sands & Boyce Dry
Goods company, the only store of it's
kind on what is now Main street Lat
err he and his brothers, William and
Walter, established the firm of o. K.
Lewis & Co. in a store on Main and
Park street After years of successful
operation the house was closed and
the firm known as the Lewis Dry
Goods company was organized.
Was Pioneer In Butte.
Mr.. Lewis was one of the most sue
cessful early-day merchants in Butte
and is recalled by the pioneers as one
of the most energetic and trustworthy
of the merchants who came to Butte
when it was a wide open mining camp.
After coming to Salt Lake Mr.. Lew
lis became manager of the S. S. Walk
er estate and also became heavily in
terested in various mining properties
throughout the state. He was direc-
tor of the Merchants bank of Salt
Lake and of the Walker Bros. Dry
Goods company, of which his brother,
| Walter G. Lewis is manager, at the
time of his death. He was member
of the Masonic order and of the Bonnie
vile club.
During the past year and especially
during the past few months Mr.. Lewis
appeared to be in better health than
for many years, and his sudden i'll
ness and death came as shock to his
many friends throughout the inter-
mountain country.

Providence is brought in and talked
about when some sudden disaster
comes to a man or a community, and
there are undoubtedly cases very Of
ten. that seem to have material cause.
But in general, analysis of any disas-
ter to ourselves or others, can be
traced TO cause and effect, and the
law of compensation works pretty
well all the time. If a man does things
that lead him into the path Of danger
ne is very likely to pay the penalty,
and there is no use crying about it
or irving to excuse ourselves.

AN OFT TOLD TALE.
CFrom the Buffalo Express.l J.

L
The Philadelphia Press probably
will be accused of waving the bloody
shirt because it calls attention to the
Ifact that the solid south rules the
Democratic party and the Democratic
party rules the nation. There are
Thirteen states which can be counted
on to give Democratic majorities.
These are Alabama, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Texas, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Virginia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and
Kentucky.
These thirteen states sent to the
house of representatives 116 Demo
cratic members. A majority OF the
house is 21S, so these states have
majority of that majority. These
states give twenty-six Democratic
senators. A majority Of the senate is
forty-nine. The party caucus dictated
the legislation and the twenty-six
senators from the southern states were
a majority of the majority.
What does the south get in return
for these votes? These states furnish
the chairmen of all of the important
committees of both branches of con-
gress. There is but one exception,
THAT of the appropriations committee
of the house, which is headed by
New York Democrat. All Of the meas
ures dealing with tariff, business,
banking, currency, judiciary, military
and naval affairs, public buildings,
Finance, rivers and harbOrs, and like
important subjects are in the hands
! of the south.
What proportion of the burdens laid
by congress on the country does the
south bear? These thirteen states
turned into the treasury considerably
less than $2,OOO,O0O of personal in
come tax out of the Sal, 100000 col
llected from the country. Of the cor
poration income tax, they together
paid S3,5O0,0O0 out of the $4,000, 900
COLLECTED. The states which framed
and passed these taxation laws paid
Il per cent of the personal and less
than 9 per cent of the corporation in
come tax. Nine of the big manufac-
turing and business states paid 80 per
cent of the personal and two-thirds
Iof the corporation income tax. These
are New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
IOhio, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
michigan, Connecticut, and Rhode Is
Hand. This new taxation was laid to
loffset the decrease in the customs rev.
Ienues brought about by lowering the
tariff. These nine states were hard
est hit by the tariff changes. But
Ithey are called upon to bear the ad-
iditional burden of providing the rev
enue made necessary by the taking
Iaway from them of their tariff protec-
ltion.
Similar truths have been told many
times. All the country knows that
these Democratic majorities are OBJ
ltained in the south by the suppress
sion of the negro vote. Yet even the
IRepublican leaders in congress make
no effort to enforce the provisions
lof the constitution.

ELMORE CITIZENS |NDORSE GOVERNOR Large Number Attend Mass Meeting-BOnd
 Issue Advocated

Wetumpka, May S.--(Special) )-Elmore
 county citizens at a mass meeting here
 today indorsed Governor Henderson's plan
 for a bond issue of $1,500,O0o to meet the
 states indebtedness and voiced their er1
 tire confidence in the chief executive S
 ability to steer in a straight and pros
 porous course the ship of state'' during
 the next four years.
 In the neighborhood of 200 of the most influential citizens of the county attend ed the meeting. The citizens adopted resolutions calling
 upon the legislature to adopt Governor Henderson's plan for a bond issue, ex- pressing approval of the governors poli- cies and urging the legislature to work in harmony with the administration. The resolutions "deplored the fact as declared in the press of the state, that
 we have become afflicted with handfut of men, self-styled legislators. who hold no commission from the people, and who are responsible to no one, yet who have seen fit to attempt to dictate to the leg islature and prepare bills for certain oi it's members, their purpose being not to periodically help the state, but to seek to make of the present administration a failure for the purpose of furthering their selfish ends and ambitions"
 Among those who spoke at the meeting were w. l.. Lancaster, state treasurer;
 Dr. R. L. Huddleston of Speigners; F.
 Lloyd Tate, solicitor of Fillmore county,
 and Dr. O. V. Justice, member of the
 house from Fillmore.

SHARP CONTEST AMONG SUFFRAGISTS
 OVER MEMBERSHIP
Amendment Adopted lRe- ducing Membership From Nearly 1000 to Little
 More Than 100

l By a vote of B to 5 an amendment 1 to the constitution was adopted yesterday 1 at the regular meeting of the Birming- ham Equal Suffrage association dividing its members into two groups-paying members who are entitled to vote in the deliberations of the association and en- rolled members who pay no dues, and who are not entitled to vote. The proposition brought about somewhat lengthy dis cusson which was pointed at times. The | advocates of the measure contended that the local association had to pay per capita for each enrolled member of 20 l cents each to the state association, and that only little over 100 of the 950 mem- bers enrolled paid dues, it was unfair to the association to be called upon to pay per capita tax on the noncontributing members.
 | Those opposing the measure took the po- sition that it was unwise to divide the membership as it tended to create classes, and that the passage of the amendment would tend to reduce the membership of the local association from nearly 1000 to a little over 100. It was stated that the adoption of the amendment would mean
 an "unequal'' suffrage association, and l would be inconsistent with the purposes of the organization.
 | 1t was pointed out, however, that IS with a. very few exceptions the noncontributing
 members did not attend the meetings of | the association and rarely took part in any of it's affairs, no injury could result from the adoption of the amendment and that it would relieve the association from presenting fictitious figures as to member ship to the state association.
 Among the advocates of the amendment were Mrs. Sidney Ullman, Mrs. w. L.. Murdoch, Miss Helen Benners, Mrs. W. N. Wood. Mrs. Solon Jacobs and others. Those expressing their opposition were Mrs. Neal Wallace, Miss Maud Kelly, Miss Nell Freeman and others.
 The amendment was as follows: Any lperson may become affiliated with this as- sociation by accepting the constitution and joining one of the two groups. namely: Voting members who pay dues and are en- titled to vote and enrolled members who pay no dues and are not entitled to vote D
 The amendment has been before the as-
 sociation for sometime and on former
 submission was voted down.
 In addition to the passage of the amend
 ment new bylaws governing the body
 were adopted. Mrs H. H. Shell, president
 of the association, presided over the meet ing Reports of committees including the
 finance committee were read and other
 routine business transacted.

MRS. CARAVAN IS
 ACQUITTED BY JURY
 OF BAILEY KILLING
Verdict Returned After Lit tie Over One Hours Con- sultatiOn-Agree on
 First Ballot

Mineola, N. Y May s-A verdict of acquittal was returned after a short de- liberation late today by the jury trying Mrs. Florence C. Carman on the charge of murderng Mrs. Louise Bailey at Free
 port on the night of June 30 last.
 The jury was agreed on the first ballot and the verdict was returned one hour and 12 minutes after the jury had retired.
 Mrs. Carman, who had been depressed all day, frightened as Justice Blackmar
 delivered his charge and beamed with
 happiness when the verdict was an-
 nounced. She shook hands with all the
 jurors, then left with her husband for
 their home in F'reeport.
 In his charge to the jury Justice Black
 mar said the states case centered on the testimony of Celia Coleman, a negro maid in the Carman household, who testified that Mrs Carman had darted into the kitchen the night of the murder with a revolver in her hand and announced, "I killed him. ' The Coleman woman also testified that Mrs. Carman had come to her room early the next morning and ex- pressed repentance for having killed that poor woman.'
 In his charge Justice Blackmar said: Tt has been obviously shown that she l Celia Coleman) was careless of the truth, but that is not conclusive. It is for you | to decide, after considering all the cir | cumstances, whether the primary ques- | tion in this case Is whether you believe Celia Coleman
