DEATH OF GOOD NEGRO

Gene Sutherland, colored, who for
many years has been a valuable and
trusted 'employe in Jacob Helber's
Hardware establishment, died Wednes-
day morning at o'clock at his home
in this city.
Genes death is mourned by all who
knew him, as he was one of those
splendid negroes, now becoming al
together too rare, who knew his place
and apparently had no desire to work
out of It. Certain it is that he never
indicated any desire to force himself
on anyone. He was loved and re-
spected by all who knew him at his
real worth, and his employer would as
soon place Gene as guard over his
money box as he would anyone else
in his employ. He was indeed cred
it and an honor to his race. Peace
to his ashes.

OUR VISIT TO BISMARCK
A Splendid Little City Populated by
1000 Good Citizens

The Times editor, wife and daugh
ter visited Bismarck Monday tc
Break in" an acquaintance with the
citizens Of that community. 1t was
our initial visit to that place, and our
acquaintance there was limited to a
slight acquaintance with two or three
citizens. But from the moment we
arrived it seems that we found no
strangers, as everyone we met was
50 courteous and obliging, willing and
even anxious, it seemed, to render us
any service in their power. Our first
impressions, therefore, were that we
had never before been thrown among
more courteous and obliging human
beings. And during our stay, until
noon Tuesday, the impression con-
tinued to grow that we were "iii the
hands of our friends"
We found Bismarck to be a9well
built town, with a substantial bust
ness district which indicated consid-
cradle more than 1000 population,
which, we were informed, a recent CEN
sus gives it. We stopped at the Bis
narck Hotel, a splendid hostelry,
which is most efficiently managed by
Mrs. Eaton, who is always ready to
anticipate the wants of her patrons,
and under her efficient management
this house holds the reputation of be-
ing one of the most desirable homes
for the travelling public to be found
outside of the larger cities.
In meeting with the people on the
streets and in the business houses we
were more deeply impressed with the
idea with which we were imbued on
arrival, that we had never been thrown
among more clever class of citizens.
Everyone appeared to be pleased to
meet us, and even to devote their time
to showing us over their little city.
They proved themselves to be home
loving people, ever ready and willing
to exhibit those things which their
combined efforts had made possible.
One of the things in which they
take especial pride is their new pub
lie school building, recently complet-

THE HOUSE ALSO
UPHOLDS PRESIDENT
By Vote of 276 to 142 Tables Resolution
Warming American Citizens Off
Belligerent Merchant Ships

The action of the Senate, as pub
lished on page 2, in sustaining Pres
ident Wilson in his diplomatic ex-
changes with Germany over the sub
marine warfare question, was followed
up by the House last Tuesday, when a
resolution Of the Pacifsts warning
American citizens not to travel on
belligerent ships Of commerce, was
tabled ia quick way of defeating the
resolution and shutting off intermin-
able debate) by vote of 276 to 142.
This resolution, somewhat different
from the Gore resolution defeated in
the Senate, was sponsored by Repre-
sentative McLemore of Texas and
reads as follows:
Resolved, that the House Of Rep
resentatives of the Sixty-fourth Con-
gress Of the United States do, and it
hereby solemnly does, request the
President to warn all American citi-
zens, within the borders of the Unit
ed States or in its possessions or else
where, to refrain from travelling on
any and all ships of any and all of
the powers now or in the future at
war, which ship or ships shall mount
guns, whether such ship be frankly
avowed part of the naval forces of
the power whose flag it flies or be
called merchant ship or otherwise,
and whether such gun or guns or
other armament be called Offensive"
or "defensive;" and in case Ameri-
can citizens do travel on such armed
belligerent ships they do so at their
own risk.
That whenever the President of the
United States or the Secretary nf
State shall come into possession of the
actual memorandum of the German
containing Photographic
fac-similies of alleged secret instruc-
tions issued by the British govern
ment, which alleged secret instruc-
lions direct that so-called defensive

armament for merchant ships shall
be used Extensively, and that so-called
defensive armament of merchant ships
shall be manned and directed by nav
al officers and men, shall, as far as
possible, be concealed and disguised
when in neutral waters and ports, with
the evident intention to deceive, the
President Of the United States or the
Secretary of State shall, at the ear
liest possible moment, transmit such
actual memorandum Of the German
government with fac SMILES of the
alleged secret instructions Of the Brit
ish government and with all append
ices whatsoever, to the Speaker of the
House, that it and they may be laid
before the House for its full informa-
alton and for its assistance in per-
forming its duty and function Of
guarding the welfare Of the country
and its citizens and for it's assistance
in performing its constitutional duty
of advising the President of the Unit
ed States with regard to foreign re-
lations.
That the House expresses the deter
mination of the people and govern
ment of the United States, both to
uphold all American rights and to ex-
ercise care, consideration and wis.,
dom insavoiding actions, which tend to
bring American citizens and Ameri-
can interests into the zone Of con-
fiict where the passions of war are
raging.
The vote to table the resolution
and sustain the President was 276;
against it, 142. Ninety-three Repub-
licans voted to sustain the President,
and 33 Democrats voted agai st sus-
tanning him. OF the 80 Democrats,
8 were from slalssouri-Walter L.
Hensley of Pennington, W. L. Igoe
of st. Louis and P. d. Decker of Jop-
lin. The 2 Republicans from Mis-
souri,, Meeker and Dyer of st. Louis,
voted with them.

ed at cost of $4,000. There they
have an efficient corps of seven teach
ers, who are directing the minds of
about 300 pupils, under the superin-
tendency of Prof. G. w. Signer, who
is proving himself most capable ed
ucator. We had the pleasure of go
ing through this building, which is
thoroughly modern throughout, being
two stories, and basement, with
twelve large rooms, well lighted and
thoroughly ventilated, steam heat,
electric lights and every detail in ar
rangement perfect. Graduation from
this school entities the pupil to en-
trance into the State University.
Our visit to Bismarck was of great
est pleasure TO the editor and family,
which we hope to be able to repeat
at some not distant day.

Pennington Catches the Spirit

Through the efforts of the club wo-
men, ably seconded by the medical
association, churches, schools and cit
liens, Pennington has made her first
Baby Week success.
The Mayor, Hon. E. ]. Mckinney,
issued letter asking the co-opera-
tion of the town people in the move
ment. This was read from most of the
pulpits Sunday morning, and was Civ
en- prominent place in the newspa-
pers.
On Saturday, March A, 120 flags
were distributed throughout the city,
so that every home where there is a
baby under three years Of age, has
had a flag flying at its door during
the week. The Boy Scouts deserve
great praise for their work in distri-
buting and mailing up the flags.
On Sunday, March 5, all the Sun
day schools had special exercises ap-
propriate to the occasion--songs and
recitations by the primary classes, and
talks by superintendents and pastors.
In the Southern Methodist Church
the exercises were especially interest
ing. The mothers and babies of the
church were invited, and cards bearing
the names of the infants on the era
die roll were tied with appropriate
colors to a cradle arranged in the
front of the church. Most of the
churches recognized the day in some
way, many of the pastors devoting
their sermon to the subject.
Appropriate exercises were held in
the different schools on one day of
the week, and on Thursday afternoon
a committee of ladies spoke to the
Parents-Teachers Association Of the
Douglas school.

On Wednesday afternoon a large
audience assembled in the Monarch
and enjoyed the program arranged
for the occasion. Miss Hildegarde

most interesting and able lecture on
the "Care Of the Baby" touching on
all phases Of the lief Of the infant,
bathing, feeding and clothing. DR..

list which win prove valuable for the
Library.
The Library Board is leaving the
matter much to the good sense of our
people to furnish those books which
they know will be wholesome and the
Board feels that there win be no ex-
ception taken to the decisions of the
Board of Censofs in excluding books
that this Board might deem not de-
sirable for a public library.

Miss Kneeland, of Vassar,
Lectured Wednesday,
Other Speakers.

For the first time in the history oi
our country. or of the world, a week
has been set apart for the baby-our
greatest asset and our greatest re-
sponsibility. "one reason for Baby
Week IL to jolt us out of our SNUG
ness and set us to work. The other
reason is to teach the art of caring
for babies"
The Children's Bureau at Washing
ton, of which Miss Julia Lathrop is
the head, asked that this week, March
Ali, be set aside for this purpose,
and through the cooperation of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
and the American Medical Associa-
ton the movement became national.

stitutes for the baby's natural food
and the various elements the child
must have for proper growth and de-
velopment. DR.. Hemingway of Ev-

stress upon the fact that to the wo-
men of any community belongs the
task of regulating the public health.

ment used to restore suspended ami

Villa, A Prominent Man Rapidly Depreciating
Has Lost Modus OperaDdi And Other Weapons

After a series of sanguinary battles,
in which five or six of the leading
lights of both armies got too well lit
up and fell off a freight train with
fatal accuracy. Villa was entirely dis
persed, carrying nothing away but his
honor and all the loose currency
logged into the country by the Ameri-
can investors.
Personally. Villa is a coarse unpleas-
ant man. with loose domestic ties and
the unrefined tastes Of the American
coyote. A reward has been put upon
his head. and there is a keen, blood
thirs desire in this country to see
him removed from the haunts Of man
with the aid Of a hemp rope. The
murder OF one plain American citizen
cannot be avenged by the prompt and
squealing demise Of a thousand Mex
lean cutthroats in a state of helpless
inet -iety, and while we are not a vim
dictive people 1t would seem for the
best interests of society that Villa be
put where he will not murder anybody
else unless he throws him into the
furnace
The life of Villa teaches us what
ambition will lead a man TO when he
is maddened by drink and too many
wives.-Protected by the Adams News

-RANCIsCo VILLA is a prominent
= Mexican who for some time has
= been depreoiating faster than the
silver money OF his own country. Only
a short time ago villa was at the head
OF q large army OF fierce, undisci-
plined and highly soused troops
and was only two jumps removed
from the presidency of Mexico. Today
he has a scattered and disorganized
force, a menace TO society, having
lost his mOdus Opernndi and other
weapons and being looked upon in
polite circles as a human cock-roach.
villa was born in Mexico Ct poor
parents. his father being "a gentle
man OF the old school" who died in
defence OF his country while trying
to see how much of the juice OF the
Mexican hop he could absorb at one
sitting. Villas parents had several
children, in plaintive seriatim, nearly
all Of whom died in an abrupt, alco-
holic manner for love Of native land,
but villa always drew first and became
one of the most accomplished and dis
eliminating assassans Of this or any
other age. villa never assassinated
anybody except in the small OF the
back, and then he usually hired it done.
