OBITUARIES
Mrs. Ellen Wilson

Ellen West Drane was born in Fred
rick county, Maryland. October %, 1884,
and went to her eternal home June l,
1917 aged 50 years months and SIX
DAYS. In 1869 she was married TO
Goodrich Wilson. To this union were
born three children, Mary Goodrich
Wilson, Dr. Richard Drane Wilson and
Mrs. C. B. Wood. Mrs. Wilson moved
to Missouri shortly after her marriage,
where she lost her husband in 1890 in
1893 she came TO Arizona. where she
lived for time with her son Dr. Wilson
on the Yuma road. Later she moved to
her home on North Fifth street. After
the death of her son-in-l law, c. b. Wood
her daughter and family came to make
their home with her. Early in life she
Joined the Episcopal church from which
at the request, the beautiful burial
service was read by Dean Scarlet. Mrs
Wilson was livingly known as 'Aun,
Nellie" and was rare friend. Some
one has said that wanting TO have a
friend is altogether different from
wanting to be a friend. The former is
a mere natural, human craving, the
other is the life of Christ in the Soui.
Into Aunt Nellies long life had come
so much sorrow and sadness, so bravery
borne that she was peculiarly fitted to
comfort others whose lives were ever
Swallowed by some great grief, and Ike
Dorcas of old, she was always gong
bout doing good. She often remarked
that she didn't know why COD nau
spared her life so long, unless he had
some work for her to do. She seemed
to think in her later years that she
was accomplishing very little for the
cause of her Savior. While all the time
the influence of her sanity life borne o1
her implicit faith and great love, was
constant inspiration to those WHO knew
her. She was ever found where sorrow
had entered and always her presence
was like a ministering angel, bringing
faith to the doubling heart, and trust
and submission to the will OF INN
whom she knew and trusted. OF her
children only one, Mrs. Wood survives
her. She leaves besides sister, MSS
! Eliza Drane and a niece, Mrs. Affle
Schupp with both of whom she shared
her house for so many years, brother
l. E. Drane of Mesa. Arizona, and five

Mr.. GLASGOW DECLINES

TT is unfortunate that Mr.. Glasgow finds
l. himself unable to be candidate for
District Attorney. The community, we
believe, has u right at this time to draft
it's ablest citizens for service. 1t is true
that the type of men peculiarly fitted for
public office are usually so successful in
private life that real sacrifice is involved
in their acceptance Of the peoples COM
mission. 1t is equally true that municipal
government in America has been dis
grace to the nation for the very reason
that so few of these men dedicate them
selves to the public service, irrespective
of the cost.
Mr.. Glasgow would have faced the op.
position of the Organization, and it would
have required superb skill and wonderful
efficiency to have won the fight; but his
mere candidacy unquestionably would have
raised the political standards of the COM
munity. Just as his success would have
been promise of rich returns in good
government and fearless administration Of
the law.

MANGLED INSCRIPTIONS
To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:

Sir-Referring to your issue of today
and the letter therein Of my good friend
and former colleague, Thomas Flint one
of his guesses in deciphering the mangled
inscriptions on the Washington medal
"adsertori" for "adserton"--is quite correct
the others miss the mark. His most in
genious and plausible suggestion of Tex
equo' for "exergne" is met by the fact
that this word is no part of the inscription
merely technical term "exergue," orig
tnally French, familiar to all numsmatists
in the phrase "n eXergue," indicating the
position on the medal of some part Of its
legend.
In volume by C. Wylls Belts, Amer
ican Colonial History illustrated by con-
temporary medals, this Washington medal
Is described and its inscription given as
follows: Georgia Washington supreme duel
exercituum adsertor libertats comitia
AMERICANA" which, thus amended, would
mean: "The American Congress to George
Washington, Commander-in-chief of its
armies, defender of liberty" The reverse
bears the inscription "Hostibus primo fu-
gatis" Bostonium recuperatum, the last two
words being marked 'In exergue" the trans
lation of this side being appropriate to the
device described In your original article
Boston recovered with the enemy first
driven Off"
That Mr.. Flint in spite Of his intimate
acquaintance with French failed to recog-
nize exergue In its laundering substitute
exergne is probably due to the fact that
in the original article the word appears to
be part Of the Latin inscription.

DRIVING THROUGH

TN THE early days only by lavish expen-
diture Of flesh and blood could the Allies
hold back the Teutonic machine com.
plete in all its parts and armed with guns
of Satanic magnitude. 1t seemed almost
madness to attempt to resist the hurri-
canes of death which the Germans were
able to turn loose. They had converted
every invention Of the human mind to the
dabolic purpose OF destruction. They did
not dream that any human bravery or
any human skill could meet this menace
they had contrived. But today, along the
western front. they find themselves op-
posed by artillery as devastating as their
own. All accounts agree that In volume,
accuracy and effect the allied artillery at
last has the upper hand. This is an
achievement which Is one of the miracles
Of the war, not to be estimated properly
until the full history of the conflict is
written and the herculean work done by
France and England. aided by America,
behind the lines, Is made perfectly clear.
The Allies may not win through to the
submarine bases this summer and recover
the Belgian coast; but they are demon.
strating day by day that German invinci.
bility is myth. that the Teutonic
armies can be driven back and that Ger.
many no longer asserts a supremacy in
military efficiency. The warlords are being
whipped at their own game, and every
cry for peace Is an evidence of II even

talk is to fool America into listless prepa.

Mangled Latin
TINE FOR IRELAND's FREEDOM

TO the Editor Of the Euening Ledger:
Slr-A correspondent recently stated In
letter to your paper that ireland will
get justice in Gods own good time, but
- ETC." Now, I wish to inquire: Must
Ireland wait until the merciful England de-
cides it is Gods own time? Ireland has
suffered 700 years Of oppression and
frightfulness. The correspondent referred
to would have her walt 700 more and suffer
similar if not greater wrongs. rather than
to strike the blow which will give her free
dom. Ireland's opportunity comes always
in Brtain's necessity, just as Americas
did. That is Gods own time" the time
for oppressed Irishmen to join the great
family of nations blessed with Gods free
dom
Were the correspondents assertions rea-
sonable. I would answer them. AS 1t Is,
however, any schoolgirl can perceive the
flaws and Misrepresentation of his letter
I regret however, that such good news
paper space was used for his effusions,
especially in these days of high prices. 1t Is
too bad that the individual went out Of
his way to insult the American Govern
ment. and at a time when the Government
has n lust right to demand support from
every citizen. To say that Americans are
thrust into Jail for exercising the right of
freedom of speech is slander upon the
United States Government which every true
American will resent.
Mr.. Terence co OBJ. CO Reilly (O
should remember that war time is not the
time to insult and hamper the Government
" may be we'll enough for an Englishman
to love and praise England II he SO chooses
that is his privilege, but he must not do
so to the detrment of the United States
Americans are not yet so anglcized that
any slur or insult can be heaped upon us
and we will take 1t as deserved. When we
find day after day, subjects of Great
Britain not only asking us to sacrifice our
all in blood and money while she safe
guards herself, but also going beyond or
binary bounds to slander and abuse our
Government and the little nation from
which so many of our ancestors came, is 1t
any wonder If we are led to say with

LAWS THAT TAX PROGRESS

Sir-Some one has said that twice two

1t admits of no argument, looks as wei, in
the morning as it does at night, and that all
intelligent persons can and do agree upon
IT, and that our whole structure of mathe
MATES is founded on It, There Is another
proposition which Is just as full Of meatv
truth, looks just as well at all times, and Is
agreed 10 by all intelligent men, but on
which the majority of men do not base their
structure of economic science
This proposition is that all wealth comes
from the natural element of land assisted
by the human element Of physical and
mental labor, It should be evident. ~ ali
the wealth We now have, or ever have had
has been produced by this combination
and that land is still plentiful and human
labor is able and willing. that all we neeo
to do is to put more land and labor TO work
and inversely, II more land is held away
from labor, less labor will be employed ana
less wealth will be produced
Having this before us, to which al, tb,rL-
ing men will agree, one might think that an
the public and private agencies which NAV
employ, all the professional, mercantile a nd
laboring classes, would be unanimous o..

GRADE.CRossING DEATHTRAPS

MIGHTY EIGHT PER CENT OF the
II pedestrians killed and injured at
Pennsylvania grade crossings during the
year ended June 80. 1917, crawled under
the protecting gates after they had been
shut down. Tho strict moralist may say
that these reckless persons courted death
on their own initiative. But the true
humanitarian must feel that the blame
lies farther back. No grade crossing Is
"fool-proof." No amount OF precaution-
ary contrivances can check the tragic
heedlessness Of the American In hurry.
The only good grade crossing is one that
is extinct
England learned that years ago. Level
railroad crossings are as archaic there as
stage coaches Until we can say the same
thing OF our own Commonwealth the
structure of our methods for safeguarding
human life will be rckety and jerry-built.
According to the latest annual report
Of the Bureau Of Accidents of the Public
Service Commission, POI persons were
killed at grade crossings and 395 injured
during tho year that ended with the last
day Of June This is a grim record.
Moreover, the number Of accidents Is
alarmingly increased over those of the
previous year. Automobile catastrophes
were the most numerous. and facts show
that most of tho rash motorists had full
knowledge of the dangers Of grade
crossings.
Reliance on good judgment to inspire
cautiousness is therefore insufficient. The
abolition of the deathtrap itself is the only
sure means to prevent recurrence of such
useless tragedies
