ROBT. CREWS WRITES LEDGER
Well Pleased With New York and His
Business in Birmingham

Robert Crews, formerly of the Hox-
sey Hotel, in Mexico, now with the
Hotel Bennett, owned by j. N. Crebs,
at Binghampton, New York, in writ
ing the Senior Editor of the Ledger
regarding his new home and new work
says:
Col. R. NJ. White, Mexico. Mo.
BINGHAMPToN, n. Y, Sept. Z,
1917. - Kind Sir: Well, Colonel, this
is some city and sure some fine peo-
pie here. Of course they are, be-
cause l believe you are from this
State. This hotel is called Bennett,
has one hundred rooms, and every
thing they could put under one roof,
is in this hotel.
We have good business right along,
and plenty Of banquets. Beginning
now, we have the Rotary Club" same
as Mexico Chamber Of Commerce"
through the winter. During warm
weather they have a picnic every Fri
day, out in the country. They go and
spend all evening and sure have some
times. More like a convention of some
kind. We had ITO Of them today, and
their meeting was about writing TO
the soldier boys. Their slogan is
adopt a Soldier Boy"
The Broom County Fair is held
here this week. They have three
days. The Elks are having a meet
ing here this week. and | believe ev-
eryone is an Elk. Governor Whitmen
made a speech to them and the draft
ed soldiers. The people have given
their soldier boys a farewell meeting
yesterday, and the people are very
patriotic.
When / came through Buffalo, the
Eagles were having a convention.
Everyone vas an Eagle. Saw a
steamer come in from Detroit, and it
looked as though they had a million
Eagles on it. AS the comedian said at
the show, "They squeezed the Eagle
so hard, the Government had to put a
buffalo on the money"
What do you think of a city this
size not having some kind of ice
plant? Everything they use is ma
tual ice, and very clear. The ice
company has a large lake, owned by
them, and hal is where they harvest
their ice. All the rivers and streams
are clear and very pretty.
The weather feels like Fall, and we
have chilly nights, but grass and
trees look like Spring of the year.
About to forget to tell you l didn't
pass for the army. Exemptions are
not asked here very much. They
think and feel like it is their place to
go. They all lett last night for their
training camp, and a large crowd was
at the station to see them leave.
Well, l must close with best wishes
to you and your family, and all in
quiring friends. Yours truly,
ROBERT CREWS.

WOMEN ENTITLED TO VOTE
That's What Theodore Roosevelt Has
to Say About Suffrage

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Sept. 10. -
Women are entitled to the ballot as a
right and not as a favor, Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt told a gathering of
about 800 suffragists and their
friends who motored to his home at
Sycamore Hill Saturday afternoon.
He declared himself most emphati-
cally in favor of woman suffrage and
was heartily applauded when he said:
"On the whole the citizen to whom
will pay the greatest difference as
doing the most indispensable of all
duties is the mother. I will put her
ahead of every other human being
To deny the mother the vote seems
to be something so preposterous that
our d~escedants will fail to understand
how we could call ourselves self-gov-
erning and democratic and yet deny
it,"

nesday evening, September 9th, the
spirit of Mrs. Rufus S. Pearson was
bourn to Heaven.
Lucy Ann Ward was born at VIII
liamsburg, Mo-, on September a.
1880, and was the daughter Of Chas.
r. and Jane Mccormack Ward. She
moved to Mexico with her parents in
1874 and has spent practically all her
life here. On June II, 1S4s, she was
married to Rufus S. Pearson, to which
union were born eleven children.
| Eight children are still living.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson celebrated
their Goth wedding anniversary at
the home Of their son in St Louis last
June, and were the recipients Of many
congratulations from all over the
State.
Mrs. Pearson was a consistent men,
Der of the NJ. Z. Church, and lived n
very active and useful life, both in
her home, in her community and in her
church. 1t is almost immossible 10
conceive the various experiences that
would make up the life Of a woman
who has lived nobly for 81 years.
Always gentle and sweet-spirited, she
was a benediction to her household.
At the same time she was a great hu-
morist, and loved to jest; and to the
last of her life she was interested in
all the activities Of the town and
country. 1t was a rare treat to know
a woman who was so rich in expert
enees and information.
Mrs. Pearson was one of the VIC
tins of the Civil War, having had
her home destroyed, and the life Of
her family threatened. Her stories Of
the reconstructive period were always
very thilling. The Pearson home at
that time was where Phillips store
now stands.
The husband and the following
children are left to mourn her death:
Chas. A. Pearson, of Sedalia; C. S.
Pearson, of Pueblo, Colo; DR.. NJ. W.
Pearson, of st. Louis; Wallace NJ.
Pearson, of Montana; Mrs. W. T.
Lemon, of Fulton; Mrs. ]. F. McWil-
liams, George NJ. Pearson and Miss
Nina Pearson, of Mexico.
To the aged husband who is left to
mourn the loss of his companion who
has shared his joys and sorrows for
nearly three score and ten years, and
to the daughter, Miss Nina, who has
made their old age so comfortable
and happy, and free from care, the
sympathy of the entire town goes
out.
Old age in some cases is pathetic,
but not so with Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson;
their children were devoted, their
1rlends were many ana their hearts
were young.
The funeral of Mrs. Rufus S. Pear
son was held at the family home on
East Jackson street Friday afternoon
at 2:30. DR.. A. F. Smith, pastor Of
st. Paul's M. Z. Church, st. Louis,
conducted the services, and the re-
mains were laid to rest in Elmwood
Cemetery. The pail bearers were s.
P. Emmons, DR.. w. +. Taylor, W. E.
West, W. II. Richie, C. D. Rodgers,
and DIR. Chas. L. Blanks. The large
number Of friends who were present
to pay their last respects to this fine
Christian lady is evidence of the high
esteem in which she was held.
The Ledger extends sympathy to
the aged husband, children and other
relatives, who are left to mourn her
death.

now have. 1t is as far as we can go
under the constitutional limitations
as was pointed out by the governor
who suggested that the system adopt
ed last November by Maryland would
be a very good pattern to work on.
The advantages of some such sys-
TEN are obvious, and the legislature
conld do no better work than getting
busy in providing constitutional
amendment carrying out the budget
scheme. The Maryland plan seems
to meet all the requirements for West
Virginia. Under it the governor must
submit to the Legislature, within ~
DAYS after it is convened. TWO Dull

Of the condition of the treasury and
the states finances. An excellent
provision Of this system is that per-
