hELPOLDER MAY
SUE "MEASURER"
FOR BABY'S DEATH

Mrs. Laura Burnsworth, 424 North
Third street, turned down John Mel
iolder's offer to get the best doctor
n town to care for her child yester'
lay because a "measurer" had told
Ter not to let a physician see the
)aby for nine days from last Sat.
Irday.
Last night the baby died without
having medical attention. Today
he secretary of the social service
bureau announced that as soon as
he prosecuting attorney returns to
Richmond, that he would make an
appeal to have the state take up the
case and punish the "measurer.
Yesterday upon the request OF
neighbors of Mrs. Burnsworth, Mr.
Melpolder visited the home to find
out the babys condition. He imme.
diately saw that the baby was very
sick and asked permission to get
medical help.
"The mother declined, saying that
she had faith in God and the meas
urer,' " Mr. Melpolder said today
Il told her that the child was on the
verge of death, but she refused medi,
cal aid.
Mrs Burnsworth did what she be-
ieved was right and should not be
blamed. There are several such Wo,
men in Richmond. There are three
women in this town who claim to
have the power to cure babies by
measuring. Many mothers take their
sick babies to them The Social Ser
vice Bureau will do everything that
il can to make these women stop
their practices.

NOT PARALYSIS
SAYS SPECIALIST

DR.. F. w. Langdon, a Cincinnati
specialist, after examining the infant
child OF Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Egge-
meyer carefully, decided that the child
did not have .infantile paralysis, as
had been suspected. It was found
that the reflex nerves Of the child
had been injured in fall, and that
is what made 1t appear as though the
child had symptoms of the disease
which is sweeping over the country.
Dr. Blossom said today that the
case which he has been holding under
observation for some time shows no
signs of infantile paralysis.

TALKS ON THRIFT

From the time we are old enough to
PEELED to make decisions; to say "yesp
to some things and mo" to others. In
fact all life consists in yielding to good
impulses and resisting the bad. No
man ever succeeded unless he learned
this lesson. We-can never form char

provide for old age. take care of those
dependent upon US. or get job worth
while until we learn to make decisions.
And the men who draw the big salaries
are those who can pass Judgment, and
are willing to stand by the judgments
they make.
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to take the line of least resistance and
to do the easy thing. If man would
acquire an education he must forego
pleasures for time. If he would get
and keep good job, he must deny him.

How many of us resolve that we will
save money and make good start, but
fall down. because we yield to the
temptation to go to those places or in
that company where our resisting pow

a spare night. If we stay at home we
know that we won't spend any money.
If we go to the theater we will spend
certain amount; but if we go to the
club, or out with the crowd, we are not
certain where we will go, or what we
will do, and being with the crowd we
must do as the crowd does. The. result
is bound to be a breaking down of the
resolution to save.
The habit of consistently saying mo"

an ambition, a goal, and an incentive.

A FRIEND (?) OF SUFFRAGE AND
PROHIBITION

While posing as friend and advo-
cate of woman suffrage, since it's adop-
ton by the people of Arizona, Gov
Hunt was an out and out opponent Of
suffrage during the session Of the con
stitutional convention, and cast his vote
against incorporating it in the consti-
tuition Of the new state, says the Ari-
zona Gazette.
After its defeat, In the convention an
effort was made to adopt a provision
whereby it could be submitted to a vote
of the people. Hunt voted against that
measure also
The separate submission measure
was known as Proposition No 27,
and the chairman of the Committee
on Matters for Separate Submission, .
presented majority report recon-
mending that 'said proposition No. 81
relating to suffrage be not adopted. /"
A minority report was submitted by
w. T. Webb and Alfred Franklin rec
ommending that the suffrage PROPOSE
ton be adopted.
These respective reports were sub
mitted on Nov 16 and on the following
day, No. II, in committee Of the whole
a vote was taken and out of the thirty
five votes against submitting the
question Of woman suffrage to vote
of the people the name of Mr.. Presi-
dent, !" (HUNT) was recorded as not
willing to give the women of the state
the elective franchise, and also unwill-
ing to let the people say whether or
not they favored the measure
While, SO far as known, the governor
never openly aligned himself on the
subject of prohibition, but has been
non-committal on the subject. The
Royal Arch made no fight against him,
probably on account Of his stand on
this question in the constitutional con-
vention.
The question of submitting state
wide prohibition to a vote Of the peo-
pie was known as Proposition No. &C.,
and as in the matter Of women suffrage
majority report was submitted by the
chairman of the same committee as
above, recommending that it be not
adopted, and again w. T. Webb and
Alfred Franklin submitted a minority
report recommending it's adoption.
This report was also made on the same
day the suffrage proposition was and
on Nov. II it also came before the com
mittee of the whole for consideration
and the majority report was adopted,
with the name of "Mr. President" !"
(HUNT) on the list as one of the thirty
three voting for its adoption, and

against submitting the question Of pro-
hibition to vote of the people.
By these votes it will be seen that
the present chief executive was
neither an original" woman suffrage
advocate nor an original advocate of
statewide prohibition and that, by his
vote, he was inconsistent with the very
principles which he professed to stand
for-the rule Of the people, by the peo-
pie. He was not willing to permit the
people to express their sentiments on
either Of these subjects at the polls and
each of them had to be initiated, and
each was adopted by the ballots Of the
citizens of the state.

might be inclined to dismiss these
statements, as mere campaign misrep-
reservations, are referred to the Min

HUNTS REFUSAL
To GUARD DAM
Anglers FARMERS

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 20.-With the
stationing of troops by order of the
war department to guard the Roosevelt
dam, Salt river valley farmers are
again Indignantly discussing the gov
ernor's refusal to send national guards
men to protect the dam, much to the
embarrassment of the governors sup
! porters in Maricopa county.
Immediately after the Columbus raid
committee of farmers waited on the
governor and asked him to send de-
tachment of national guard to protect
the dam. They pointed out that with
the immense weight of water behind it
and the large flood going over the spill
ways that any serious attempt to dam
age it might prove disastrous to the
| Roosevelt project. They were met with
curt refusal. The governor told them
that the dam was the property of the
reclamation service, that it belonged
to the federal government and that if
the federal governments wanted to pro-
tect it it might do SO. The state would
have nothing to do with it's protection
While the governors refusal created
storm of Indignation at the time his
action was not made public or openly
commented upon until recently when
i Company M, A. V. /. was assigned to
guard the dam. In a recent issue the
Glendale News, a weekly paper pub
lished at Glendale in the interests of,
farming community, comments bitter
ly on the governors refusal to protect
that farmers and asks if they will sup
port him for governor for the third
time.
Although the governors adherents
profess to believe that he is an astute
politician they admit his refusal to
protect the dam at the request of the
farmers was ''bonehead play" espe-
cially in view of the fact that the gov
ernor sent practically the entire ma
tional guard to Clifton at the time of
a strike in that district to protect the
strikers from gunmen."
