THE REASON

THE REASON
BY calling large jury list he comes in contact with
people, and at the expense of the tax payers thus
enabled to his court for political purposes
BY excusing great number of those summoned to
act jurors with few words expressed for purely
sonal political reasons he endeavors to impress upon
them the inconvenience which they will experience by be-
ing compelled to act urymen at that time and that he
being public benefactor necessarily shares their ncon
venence and at the of the tax payer
them hoping and trusting that he has made another
for himself and disregardng the fact that the trial of
cases is delayed, and additional expense incurred.
Judge Utter has informed the persons serving
as jurors that they entitled to the Clerk of the
Court and draw their mileage for way upon arrival
and their per diem day for each days. attendance
vance small portion thereof personal favor thereby
endeavorng to place the members of the jury under
obligation to him. the compensation being their when
the judge is up for reelection.
THE RESULT
The expense incurred for each juror attendance is
in the neighbOrhood of from fifteen to twenty dollars
and all the court expenses of the various counties
be borne by the tax payers is needless to that
them
THE REMEDY
Let use every effort to place Judge upon the
bench that is competent that will his court
for political purposes at the expense of the poor pay
er one that will not try to jolly the public into thinking
that he is acting for them and them alone when the real
reason is purely selfish and political that will not be
influenced by self greed that will handle the business
with earnest endeavor to meet justice fairly and
ntelgently irrespective of the consequences either
tcal otherwise and then and only then will court ex-
penses be reduced and justice dispensed with integrity

WHY?

Why has Judge Utter always called a large jury and
then excused one-half to two-thirds of them?
Why has he offered to advance money to persons call

count of the place being so well
adapted for summer resort.
No Up.to-Date Hotel.
Though Mineola has long been not
ed as an ideal spot for a summer re-
sort. owing to its facilities for hunt
ing, fishing and swimming, and to its
mineral springs, it has never had an
up-to-date hotel. However, plans are
now being made for remodeling the
old mill building which stands on the
banks of Loutre near the bridge into
a modern hotel structure According
to the plans. the new hotel will be in
operation by May 1. 1917. and will be
open during the seasons when Mineola
is most popular as hot weather re-
sort. A small park will be- laid out
on the hillside in front of the hotel
and a dance hall constructed near the
building.
Below the bridge is "the old SWIM

THE LABOR QUESTION

The threatened railroad strike il
but one of many. 1t was more con
spicuous and perhaps more impor
tant but il was not alone in its sug
gestion of labor unrest. 1t is sim
DIV another one of the manifestations
which show an unsettled state OF
feeling, a deep, widespread unrest
The labor problem, as we call these
great questions or relationship of en-
ployer and employed. is still far from
being adequately solved. But on its
right solution more depends than we
at first concede The labor question
is circumscribed by no sectional lin
its. is hemmed in by no national
boundaries. 1t concerns the world.
The working men of Germany and
Great Britain, alike with the capital
lists of America, are interested in its
solution. 1t is not something yet to
come. it is here. Its forms and phases
vary but its phases are always the
same. the rights of capital, the rights
of labor.
How shall these two mighty pow
ers not naturally antagonistic be rec
onciled? The man who furnished
the tools and the man who uses them
are alike worthy of respect and con-
sideration. The one equally with the
other merits profit and protection. To
give to each his just proportion of the
earnings their joint efforts have won
is to solve the labor problem.
With changed modes of work, i'm
proved machinery and increased con-
sumption, changed conditions have
come. The labor problem of today is
not that of last century. Man feeds
and regulates the machine now; he
used to be the machine himself. He
works in gangs now; he used to la
Dor alone The tendency of modern
times is to aggregate, not segregate
human activity. 1t makes less use ,
of the individual and more of the I
masses.
There is no solution of this great
new. yet old problem. In the mean
time there are strikes and rumors of I
strikes and the 25,000 men who own {
one-half of the United States are
growing richer every day.

Captain James Galloway with a de-
! tachment of fourteen rangers. The
Indians were overtaken some twelve
miles above Mineola and the horses
which were found guarded by only a
few squaws were recaptured. While
returning with the horses the next
day they fell into an ambuscade laid
for them at the Prairie Fork cross
ing by the Indians who had circled
and gone back on their trail.
Frank McDermid, Parker Hutch

advance of the rest of the party and

they mounted the bank after crossing

ahead to help them and plunged their
horses into the swollen stream.
While crossing. Callaway's horse
was shot under him and his left arm
disabled by bullet. AS he tried to
swim in the cold water he was shot
in the head by an Indian from the
bank. The remainder of the party,
seeing that they were outnumbered
five to one, retreated with six of their
number wounded
When a party returned to bury the
dead the bodies of McDermid, Hutch
ings and McMillen were found cut in
pieces and hanging the bushes along
the creek. These scattered remains |

like to paraphrase this and to say that
a woman who knows nothing except her
children does not know even those thor
oughly. She must widen her horizons
and make the most of the glorious OPP
portunities to which our correspondent
has referred. Then she will be the bet
ter able to bring up her children to be
really worth while to themselves. to
their family. and to their country.
Just here l wish to ask another ques-
ton. Does the experience of the Cor
nerites lead them to think that the ma
jority of women have no interest In any
topic except their children? Is it the
general observation that when women
are gathered socially they talk about
their children. the sayings and doings
Of these. and nothing else?
For this has not been my conclusion.
l know many mothers of children, young
and old, and sometimes 1 have been
with them in company several times be-
fore 1 have known of the existence OF
the children. At the risk of putting my
self down as hopelessly unintellectual /
must say that when I meet married
women l have rather a proclivity for
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-10-22


to hear of the same kind of puzzles that
beset those who are in the position
she occupies.
Therefore, as l say. l cannot agree that
it is all selfishness on the part of moth
ers when they talk of their children.
They undoubtedly have pleasure in tell
ing of the incidents that have occurred
in their nurseries. but have found them
quite as pleased to hear of the expert
ences of other parents.
What is the judgment OF the Corner on
this point?
AS to the comment of the husband
the " scornful " COMMENT confess that
my indignation was aroused. Have you
ever heard number Of men get together
for conversation and comment? 1 am
not referring to professional men or
those absorbed in some elevating pur-
suit, but the ordinary, everyday business
men who may be said to correspond to
the rank and file of average mothers.
About what do these men talk?
First of all it is probably business

son. In that case it is the national

inquiring II they have children, for
asking the sexes, names and ages OF
these, and for learning IL they are ct
school and where, what are their habits
and tastes, and in general collecting
any other information can about them. },
Having had children and grandchildren
OF my own feel a desire to know
about the like precious possessions Of
others. Yet 1 have not found that the
exploits and cute sayings Of these are
thrust upon the public.
Some women there are who are 80
much wrapped up in their husbands,
their homes, and their babies to say
nothing Of their servants, that they can
talk of nothing else. But have been
as much tried by charitable workers,
who insist upon forcing the details Of
their pet phi!anthropies upor long suf-
fering hearers, or by women with po-
litical propensties who have no topic
at command except suffrage or anti
suffrage, or by devotees to certain forms
of faith. who refuse to leave that topic
alone. as 1 have ever been by the con-
verse OF mothers relative to their in
fants.
What does the Corner think about
this? Is it the view of our members
that women can, as a rule, find no de-
light in chat except about their fani-
lies? Do we not discover that they
have as many and as varied interests
as most men, and that their words
upon the matters that take their at
tention are as well worth listening to as
the utterances of John and his COM
panions upon the topics our correspond
ent's husband evidently considers of
much more merit than the affairs of
the children of himself and his friends?
Merely to be a man does not render
ono broad minded and unseIfsh, any
more than being woman compels ego
tism and narrowness. Men and women
average up pretty much the same, after
all. We find all kinds among both
sexes, and l have too much respect for
John as an individual and the repre-
sentative of a class to believe that he
will put all women down as fools, SIM
ply because of their keen interest in
what is beyond cavil a matter of para
mount Importance. These children
whose doings are discussed now are to
be the men and women CT a few years
hence. If we bear this in mind it will
not try our patience SO strongly when
we find those who have them in charge,
are concerned with their growth in mind
and body, eager to talk to them and to
acquire all the help they can in train
ing them by comparing experiences with
other experts.
L shall hope to have a full response
from the Corner on this theme.

idea with regard TO the parattined paper
lining to the dishes sounds attractive.
but TO my mind there are two or three
drawbacks connected with it. which |
would be happy to have met and an
swered In the first place, am afraid
the paper Innings are not cheap enough
to warrant most of us in throwing them
away after single use-and If they are
to be rinsed out and used again there is
no gain in having them rather than
china or neat enameled ware. IL the
second place, isn't the fitting them in
place as lining and then taking them
out more bother than washing the ordi-
nary dishes-especially when there is
chance that something may be spilled on
the outside dishes, which makes 1t nee
essary to cleanse these? The other day
saw the paraffin jars or cups which
can be used for putting up jams and jel-
lies. They are not affected by the fruit
bein. put into them boiling 10. and can
be used a second time. The paper con-
tainers for milk and other fluids are
also admirable. but am afraid they are
not quite cheap enough to be bought
for the general use Of the ordinary fam
lily and discarded after q single service.

rience than in this matter speak con-
corning it and let US compare notes on
the subject? Dishwashng Is undoubted-
ly heavy burden, especially when there
is limited supply Of hot water. and any
thing which will help simplify the task

do not mean by this that I recon-
mend women devoting all the powers Of
their immortal minds to their children.
A topic may be the first in our hearts
and heads without being tho only one
there, and 1t is without question that IL
woman gives all her powers to her
children those powers will not be worth
much. To be symmetrical and to fit
herself for rearing her sons and daugh-
ters as she should, she must broaden
her sympathies and cultivate her brains.
