A DESERVED DISAPPOINTMENT.
The school board acted wisely in
reappointing Superintendent J. H.
Rich for another year as head of the
schools of Moscow. Mr.. Rich has
shown himself, in the five years he
has been here, to be the man for the
place" His work as head of the Mos
cow schools has been of a high order
in every respect. We are justly proud
of our schools because Mr.. Rich, with
his able corps of teachers, has made
them the best schools in a town this
size to be found in the west.
Mr.. Rich has had a hard and try
ing time during the past year. With
the influenza situation closing the
schools twice and keeping them clos
ed for months, he and his assistants
and the school board have worked at
a great disadvantage, but they have
held the schools together, have kept
up the morale of the school children
and the high school students and have
many difficulties that tried
the stoutest hearts and the most en-
during patience.
The Star-Mirror congratulates the
school board on the wisdom of it's ac-
ton. and the people of Moscow upon
retaining Mr.. Rich at the head of their
school system. 1t also congratulates
Mr.. Rich upon his splendid ability and
fact that he has won the conf
dence, esteem and respect of the peo-
pie here as he has. We are glad he
will be with us at least another year.

One Pupil in District.

WALLACE-There is just one lone
little third grade pupil left at the
Rex school district as a result of the
recent exodus of citizens of that To-
cality and as a result the school has
been closed and the teacher, Miss
Frances Batterton of Kellogg left for
her home yesterday.
When the school opened in Sep
TENDER a class of nine pupils was en-
rolled which progressed splendidly
until families began moving to other
points. The one pupil left will be
obliged to walk a distance of three
quarters of a mile to the school at
Interstate as the expense of main
tanning the school at Rex cannot be
continued for only n pupil, it is de-
clared by those in authority.

4ISE THE ROAD DRAG.

OOE LIE hOAD DNfAG.
The roads and dirt streets will
soon be dry enough for the drag and
it should be put IN every dirt street
and every country road just as soon
as conditions will permit. Moscow
has some very good dirt streets, or
they would be if properly dragged.
Dragging roads and streets is the
cheapest method of putting them in
good order and the work should be
done just as soon as the soil is dry
enough and should be repeated after
every rain In country districts
where the roads are dragged after
each rain they soon become hard and
smooth and can be kept in good con-
dition during the greater part of the
year. The work is inexpensive but
very effective.
The city street commissioner
should arrange to have the dirt
streets thoroughly dragged just as
soon as they are dry enough. Coun-
try road supervisors should get the
drag on the roads as soon as pos
sib1e. Farmers can we'll afford to
drag the roads in their neighborhood
after every rain.
The writer has a friend in Oregon
who lives five miles from town. Ev-
cry time it rains he takes a drag,
which he owns and keeps at his place,
md drags the road to town. He has
lone this for years and the road is
Known throughout that entire coun-
ry as one of the best dirt roads in
Oregon.
The Star-Mirror has received many
concentrations on a recent editorial
n saving the boys and accompany
ny the concentrations have been
everal excellent suggestions. The
uggestion that a club building be
uilt or leased and fitted up for the

lade that the club room be devoted
} the use of the girls, as we'll as
re boys and that the time be di-
ided, the girls having it for certain
in the week and the boys the
smaining days. The suggestion is
4 excellent one. Opinion seems to
lvor such a movement, now what is
eeded is a leader to start the move :
ent and keep it going. Who will
for this grand work that
i'll mean so much to the future of
oscow's boys and girls? Let us
i've a leader who will undertake to
art the movement at once.

lost the fruitage of the ideals for
which she battled-the blood will
have been spilled and the victories
won to no avail.
President Wilson has admirably said
that we are confronted by the altern-
alive of a League of Nations or chaos.
II the issue were one which, thank
God, it is not, between the republican
PARTY and the League Of Nations to
insure peace-if it were necessary
that the party should lose an election
in order that the worlds peace might
be established = The Times, regard
less of its record of a generation of
untainted and u%nflinching republican
ism, WOULD DECLARE WITHOUT
HESITATION FOR THE PEACE
LEAGUE. But fate has beer kind in
returning the republican party to
power at a time when it may have the
honor of ratifying the treaties that
will embody the spirit of the Ameri-
can Constitution in the government of
all the free peoples of the world. The
league and not the president is the
real issue. There is no politics in it."

OF NATIONS is LIGHT ON THE WAY
TO WORLD SAFETY!

reactionaries do not want the League
of Nations.
If we fought the world war to make
the world safe for democracy, then
something has got to be done to make
it safe The only device brought for
ward up to this time that stands any
show at all of doing this is the League
of Nations.
If we fought the world war to end all
all wars, then there has got to be
machinery set up that will end wars.
The only device brought forward up to
this time that stands any show of doing
that is the League of Nations.
Reactionaries all over the world are
against the League of Nations because
it is the nature of reactionaries to be
against things that mean progress and
better chance for the plain peoples.
No device ever fruited in the brain
of man ever gave the world such a
guarantee of running the worlds life
and business with all the cards always
on the top of the table as the League
Of Nations.
Injustice of all kinds always has a
hard time of it when all the cards are
on the top of the table.
Every working man and woman and
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1919-04-10

every progressive man and woman IL
every walk of life ought to be for the
League of Nations.
Every sneak thief every crooked plu
tocrat, every kaiser and all his relatives
every imbecile and every selfcentered
hungry and greedy politicians every
where ought to be against it.
The League of Nations is democracy
best insurance freedoms best guarantee
labor's greatest hope and humanity s
farthest advance.
With the League of Nations we can
win the war against more wars; with
out it we have got to be ready to out
fight the world
There is only one choice for those
who honestly understand and really
love democracy and freedom and its
opportunities.

died at the home of her daughter Mrs
George Bnss near Belmont, Thursday,
April 3, 1919.
Mary Ryan was born in Tipperary,
Ireland, March IT, 1895 At the age of
eight years she came to America with
her parents, one sister and five brothers,
all of whom preceded her to the grave
many years. She made her home with
her parents in the state of New York for
several years after coming to this coun
try. Here she received a very good
education.
Later, the family moved to the middle
west and in 1849 she and William Grow
of Highland, Wis, were united in the
holy bonds of matrimony. To this
union were born four daughters, Mrs
Johanna Kluck, Cuba City; Mrs Anra
Buss, Belmont; Mrs Melissa Collins,
Mineral Point; Josephine Grow, de-
ceased: and six sons: William, Richard
and Daniel, deceased; Frank of Chicago
duu AuuT0W VI h0uOSua.
The remainder of her life was spent
in and about Mineral Point, where she
won the respect Of all her acquafnt-
ances. She struggled through great re-
sponsibilities with a cheerfulness that
made her children and friends appre
ciate and honor her. She was left with
the care of two small children while
her husband sought a livelihood for
them in the gold fields of California
After her husbands return they settled
on farm near Mineral Point, and here
in 1871 her husband died.
About twenty years ago she moved to
Mineral Point. where she lived until
October 1917, when her health seemed
to fail and she made her home with her
children.
She was patient, optimistic, ambitious
and energetic until the last. Though
her family and friends knew that she
could not remain with them many more
years, yet there is a feeling of regret
that one so happy and helpful as she,
could not be left to cheer them. Her
life and kind disposition are a true
monument of sincere faith and virtue to
all her acquaintances. Although she
lived beyond four score years and ten,
illness was unknown to her,s and not
until two weeks previous to her death
was she confined to her bed.
The funeral was held Friday morning
from St. Paul's Church with requiem
high mass celebrated by Rev. Father
O'Reilly. Her worthipess in the com
munity was shown by her many friends
land acquaintances who went to pay
their last respects at her funeral.
Those from out of town who attended
the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs Frank
Kluck of Cuba City, Mr. and Mrs
Andrew Crow of Kenosha, Frank Grow
of Chicago, ILL.,, Mrs Peter Whaley OF
Benton, and Mrs B. A. Hefferman OF
Dubuque, Iowa.

Mrs. Abraham Motley.

Susan Oke was born in England,
March 25, 1888, and peacefully fell
asleep on the evening of April 4, 1919,
aged 86 years and 10 days. In the year
of 1864 with her sister Jane, she came
to America to find and make new
home. One year later, on Feb. II, 1866,
she was married to Abraham Motley,
taking into her life his three little
motherless daughters, Mary Alice, Han
nah and Maria.

born eight children, namely: Fannie,
Sarah, John, Lincoln, Charles, Laura,

family that for long years was unbroken
until the father was called. Dec. Is,
1909, Maria on March 4, 1910, Lincoln
on Aug %, 1915, and Sarah on Dec. 10,
1918.
In early life Mother Motley as she
was often called, accepted Christ as her
personal Saviour. ever trusting Him to
help her live life that was pleasing in
His sight. It can truly be said she was
one of the best and dearest mothers
that ever lived, a good neighbor and
kind friend, always willing and ready
to help anyone.
When years of toll lay heavy upon
her frail body, she was still anxious
and ever inquiring of the welfare of all
around her. She is the last of the old
members who helped to build the Will
low Springs P. M. church. ever anxious
that it should stand as a place to wor-
snip God.
Although for four years she has been
confined to her home, she was always
cheerful. wishing to live to see our
beautiful country, as she always called
it, in Peace, our boys home and war
ended. Her end was peaceful and her
memory will long be cherished.
Mrs Anna Maria Steffgen,
mother of Mrs Matthias Peters, passed
