A Pioneer Passes,

Emily Almira Oane) Carpenter
was born in Ondago Co., n. Y.
Sept. l, 1890. Died at the home OF
her daughter, Mrs. Frank Altman
March 80, 1919.
She was married to Hy Carpen-
ter March 22, 1876. They moved to
the state of Kansas in 1860. They
were among the early settlers here
Grandma has lived to see many
changes since coming here. This
was a new and an undeveloped coun-
try. When they came here they
drove through with oxen, and she
has lived to see the passing away OF
this slow mode of travel. The rail-
road had not, been built here, the
telegraph and telephone almost I'm
heard of. with the above mentioned
improvements have come the auto
mobile and the aeroplane, which
helps US to eliminate distance. She
was here during the trying times of
the Civil War, and knew what i
meant to our country in the way of
hardships and sacrifice.
She helped in the reconstruction
work; and today we owe much to
the people that lived and toiled in
those trying times, that we will
never be able to repay.-Amoret
Leader.

STATE ACTS
Missouri Will Take Up Duck Case.

The State OF Missouri has filed in
the. Federal court at Kansas City 4
petition asking a restraining order
against Ray P. Holland, United
States Game Warden for this dis
trict, and his deputies to prevent the
enforcement of the so-called Migra-
tory Bird Treaty act of Congress in
so far as the Federal Game laws
conflict with the laws OF this State.
The petition was prepared by At
torney General McAllister, and was
filed by Kansas City attorneys. 1t
is the outgrowth of the recent ar
rest of the Attorney General and
several companions at Nevada,
wherein they were brought before
Judge Jeffries, United States Com
missioner at Clinton and bound over
for hearing in the Federal court at
Joplin. Other cases are pending in
the Federal courts of Missouri.
which will in all probability test the
law, but should the petition of the
State for a restraining order be
granted by the Federal Judge it will
end these, although inasmuch as the
duck season will under the State law
end on April goth, no decision can
be had in time to affect this years
shooting.-Henry County Democrat.

Labor Unions and the War,

One OF the things that makes the
workman OF America a better man
than any other workman on the face
OF the earth is the labor union. The
rigEs of the working man to Or
game for the betterment of his con-
dltion has been upheld by the courts
and all sorts of Federal commits
sions, in fact. it is generally admit
ted that without organization the
American workman would sink to
about the social level OF his Euro
pean brother. But during the war
the German propaganda and later
the Bolslcvik have found the labor
unions fertile ground for their per-
nicious seed Statistics furnished by
the National Industries Conference
show that in the first six months
after this country entered the war
o.25S,5I9 work days were lost to the
essential industries in this country
by strikes for hihger wages and rec
ognition OF the union. Admiral
Parks, chief of the bureau of yards
and docks, reports that less work
was turned out by the men receiv-
ing $40 per day than was turned
out by the same men when they re-
ceived $I.6o and some of the super
intendents of the shipyards report
that the men only did 65 per cent
as much work under the new rate
OF wages as under the old.
No class of men are more patri-
otto than the average working1nan,
whether he belongs to union or
not, but why he will listen to the
harangues OF every unwashed walk

WAR ISIS NOT OVER
Federal Courts Render Conflicting
Opinions.

Louisville, KY, April 3.-In line
with an informal statement from the
bench March "a, Federal Judge Wal
ter Evans, in an opinion today
handed down decision finding that
). the war in Europe legally is at all
end, and that plea for new trial
on conviction of violating wartime
military regulations after the armis-
tice was signed has standing il,
court.
Evans based his decision upon all
address by President Wilson before
both houses of Congress in joint
session November II, 1918, in which
he said. referring to the. defeat of
Germany, "The war thus comes to
an end The President, said the
court, had authority to make the
pronouncement under that section
OF the Constitution which provides
that he may from time to time go
before Congress and give it informa-
ton as to the state OF the Union.
/ San Francisco, April 1.-THE war
in Europe is not over, despite the
verdict of United States District
Judge Walter Evans of Louisville,
KY, United States District Judge F..
f.. Cushman of the state OF Wash
ington ruled here today in refusing
to dismiss complaints against two
alleged violators of the selective
draft act.
Attorneys for the defendants held
that the complaint no longer held
good in view of Judge Evans decis-'
ion.
The war is not over until the
President notifies the people by
proclamation" Judge Cushman held.

Noted Sportsman, e5,
Dies in English Home
Henry Sparrow Long known
as Follower of Hunts, Riding
When Eighty Years Old
Ne4o YORK Tribune
Eorer1n pr,sa Rstrer,,

The death of Henry Sparrow, of
battlefield, Wombourn, at the age of
n:nety-five, removes a famous char
acter from tho world Of British sports.
According TO 1.-The Westminster Ga
ze1te,". he first rode to hounds when he
was SIX years old, and hunted regu-
larly with the Albyighton Hunt until
he was eighty. Ten years Of his early
llte were spent in Brazil and Mexico,
where his skill as a rider made him
famous. Returning to South Stafford
shire, he settled down to business.
He was probably the oldest surviv-
ing officer Of the old volunteer force.
which he Joined as private when it
was founded, retiring from the 18Th
Staffordshire Rifles in 1855 with the
rank Of captain.
He was keen lover of all outdoor
sports, and as far back as 1889 played
Tor Warwickshire ard Worcestershire
against an all-England cricket eleven.
AS horseman he was one Of the high
est authorities in the Midlands, and
was often the judge at shows and COM
petitions. Many stories of his daring
and nerve are told. Half a century
ago he rode along a sheep track round
the Great Orme's Head, when the
slightest mistake would have meant
instant death. Once he rode into the
Wrekin Hotel on an elephant which g
few days before had killed its keeper.

lshed, the most important of which
was that miners working in open
mines to winch daylight penetrated did
not get nystagmus. Finally it was
shown that the condition was due
primarily to the "Davy" lamp and to
bad lighting
The Americans have already acted
on this information and have institut-
ed electric head lamps, charged from a
battery which the man carries on his
person. This course has not generally
been followed at home because Of a
fear that tho proceeding is not safe.
That such fears are quite groundless
is now the view of those best qualified
TO judge, and the time is ripe for fur
ther work by qualified persons.
unhappily, the money available for
research of this and other kinds is so
small that extended effort is nearly
impossible. 1t is time that this fact
was grasped by everybody. Public
apathy has closed the avenues to
knowledge again and again.
Policy Questioned
1T has also left officials of certain
school without the stimulus which
seems essential to their efficiency.
We learn, for example. that the local
government board is sending inspec-
tors around to the various local au-
thorities to find out what proposals for
drainage and sewage disposal they have
before them. This information being
given it has been announced in some
cases, according to our information.
that pressure will not be brought to
bear 20 have these works carried out
until the labor conditions are such that
1t is necessary for the government to
provide emDlOVmeOt
IT this be indeed the policy of the
local government board, it is time that
it was changed. Public health work
may be useful as furnishing employ
ment, but that emphatically is not its
main object. It's main object is the
health of the people. Water supply and
sanitation are not stock jobs, but vastly
important aspects of preventive medi-
cine and of the housing problem. The
record of the local government board
for general inefficiency is an unenviable
one. 1t is surely time that this depart
ment recognized its duty and did it.

Edward T. French
Dies Unexpectedly
In Chicago Home
Telephone Girl Bride, With
Whom He Eloped and
Wed Last June in Boston,
Is With Him at the End

a brief dispatch from Chicago yes
Tuck French, of Newport, R. I. He
succumbed to ur@mic poisoning at his
apartment in that city, where he had
been since early December, holding a
position with the Chicago. Burlington
& Quincy Railroad.
The death of Edward Tuck French
who until about year ago was promi-
nent in the younger set of Newport
Boston and this city, recalled his elope-
ment last June with a telephone oper-
ator and subsequent chain of events
which kept him almost continuously
in the public eye
1t was French's sister, Julia, who
gave society something to gossip about
a few years ago when she eloped with
Jack" Gerraghty, chauffeur Her
family finally forgave her and she and
her husband now live in Boston. Then
last summer, French surprised society
by marrying Miss Lillian NJ. Harring-
ton, telephone operator of Man
chester, he met in Boston. He had just
been graduated from Harvard and was
believed to be on his way to the Platts-
burg officers training camp when his
family was notified of his marriage.
He was confident that his mother
and father would confer the proverbial
blessing as they had done in the case
Of his sister, but it was not forth
coming and he and his bride lived in
Boston hotel. She left him after a
few days and after period of separa-
tion returned. She was with him at
the time of his death.
Last fall, after he had been the sub
Ject of much newspaper publicity,
young French turned to the army and
enlisted in the tank corps, going to
Fort Slocum for training in the Treat
,Em Rough" contingent. After his en-
nstment, though he did not go to
France. he dropped from sight and the
dispatch telling of his death is the first
mixing given society of his where
abouts.
Amos Tuck French father of the
youth, has large interests in the Chi
ccago, Burlington & Quincy lines. and
1t ls assumed that he sent him to H.
l'nois for training in the railroad busi-
ness. He had been i'll for some time.
