LEO RILEY AND OTHERS.

Chance made Leo Riley the first
Massachusetts, boy chosen in the great
national draft. Both ends of that
name suggest something of the most
substantial and dependable qualities
in human character; both have some
thing suggestive OF the aggressive
courage and loyal devotion that gives
manhood its crowning glory. And
did you note the name of the East
Boston street that Leo Riley lives on?
II is Bennington, name with a
wealth of inspiring patriotic tradi
tions.
But the best omen was the way
young Leo Riley took the news that
the reporters carried him. ITS the
first thing that I've drawn in my life, >"
he said with a grin, "and I'm going 10
see this thing through" Well spoFen,
Leo Rileyl Not in the spirit of
loser, but in that of winner, he re-
ceived the news-and then the pledge
TO see it throughi A lad like that is
always a winner, and so is the cause
that he fights for. We like to think
that he is typical of millions of the
young men who were waiting Friday
for the results of the lottery in Wash
ington.
To Leo Riley and his fellows the
land over, greetings and congratula-
tions. Today the world salutes you.
Today all that is best in humanity
pins the roses of its faith and its
hope to your breast. Only as you "see
it through" can the stricken world roll
out of the darkness of the battle
clouds into the sunlight of a lasting
peace and into the radiant glory of a
real civilization. You are chosen men,
and no stigma attaches to the choos-
ing. You have waited for the call. and
the call has come. You will answer it
as befits the traditions of your flag
and your fathers. No sons of America
ever received a summons to a higher
service or a conservation to holier
service. If there is one craven soul
among you all-which God firbid!-
let him pray for the spirit that shone
forth in the words of Leo Riley on
Friday morning.

SCHOOL LIFE ON THE PLAINS

From an Arkansas School GirlD
/ visited a school the other day, in
order TO get the material for this ar
ticle, and felt repaid for doing so. 1t
was the last day Of school, and they
were to have a program. Before
reached the school house, was fur
nished with item No. /. saw girls
who were of school age who ought TO
be in school, chasing about over town,
because they didn't like the teacher
and didn't go except when they wanted
to, regardless of compulsory school
law
Item number two came to me when
time for the children to take their re-
spective places in the school room
Some marched quietly in and took
places, others tried to make all of the
noise possible, and one boy, noticed,
made himself prominent by winking
at different ones in the audience;
while another great big fellow, who
had his face blacked took his seat
upon top of a desk, where the teach.
ers and audience were forced to look
at him, as he made himself noticeable
by a gruff laugh at every recitation.
He was one of the students when he
wanted to be, and that was not much
of the time. On our way home, | said
to my husband What did that boy
need?' and he replied, "He needed
]. C. Eaton for few minutes"
Item Number Three. When the ex-
ercises were finished and the teacher
announced that he had one pupil who
had made a perfect record of attend
ance, / began to wonder who it was,
but was not surprised to see a little
ten year old girl, who lived two miles
away from school walk up and receive
the diploma, for knew the child and
had been in her home and seen the
parents exercise their parental au-
thority.
The last item, and the one that hurt
me most came as | was leaving the
school house. | looked back and saw
boys feeding the wind with their grade
cards and records. My mind flew back
to my trunk where lay a little pink
grade card signed-M A. Hathcoat,
Teacher, and lying beside that little
grade card is another paper-My
Teachers License felt thankful to
know that they were safe and sound
and that my children could see the
fruits of my early school life, and
maybe it would be encouragement to
them.
In conversation with the little girl
who received the diploma, she told me
that she would not take any thing in
the world for it, and that her papa
had little papers and cards that were
given him when he was a child. But
that father was not raised on the
plains of Oklahoma. He was raised
in Missouri
This is great county, but l must
say that it seems that the dollar comes
ahead of every thing else, and when
returned from that school house, sat
down and wrote an article to our
county paper, reminding the parents
of our neglect.
| said to my husband when we
reached home, 81 wonder if the people
back home are getting neglectful of
these things" and decided that | |
would send this article to the dear
old Times, which is still in our home.

SUFFRAGE NEWS.

Attorney General John d. Arbuckle,
in compliance with request OF Yer
non Heath, assessor of Pulaski county,
as to whether women who fail to as
sess for poll tax could be penalized,
said: There is absolutely no law re-
quiring women to assess and until
there is such a law such poll tax can
not become delinquent. The poll tax
is an entirely different and separate
tax from any other tax, either persona!
or real, and hence the new assess
ment law does not apply to this tax,
For the above reason, in the opinion
of this office, ladies, if assessed at all,
should be assessed without penalty
for the payment of poll taxes. In the
assessment of poll taxes against Ia
dies you will take into consideration
former opinions given by this office"
