The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1920-01-15

Down in my heart there hangs the picture
of a mother strong one Sunday afternoon
among the wild flowers ON the side of hill.
! love to look again and again at that sweet
woman dressed in simple calico running 10Y
fully with her own through Natures virgin
field She told us pretty stories, she pointed
out the yellow and purple glints OF a glorious
sunset while our Jazz music was the voice of
golden-throated birds. That was forty years
ago: the flock is scattered and she who blessed
us with her queenly influence then is now an
angel in that far off mysterious land But she
left impressions worth more to those she
gently led by her hand than all the modern
cabarets or silent tragedies of the film screen.

do not plead for a return to the one-horse
shay, the tallow dip and the spinning wheel;
we have passed beyond these TO more modern
methods But do believe in the home-gather-

fathers and mothers such as we had in those

Our thoughts must lead to things ahead; il
is there that whatever is good on whatever is
bad, will be our heritage. But in blazing the
trail We are to travel Tomorrow, II is well that
we be guided by the principles and the prac-
tees that tinged with granduer our Yester-
days The Future is full of tremendous oppor-
tunities for making the world better place
IN which TO live and the real man or the real
woman Is the one with face set 10 the task and
a determination that cannot be bent or broken
TO 20 ahead and achieve something worth while,
But from the bottom of my heart let me say
TO each reader, take with YOU into the future
that reverence YOU once had for the old-fash-
Toned customs of life. Remember that the home
influence is the greatest power beneath the
stars for eevating society and perpetuating
the best in civilization: surround the young
and developing mind with the clean and whole
some atmosphere of home, be il castle or cot
tage. where love rules and duty stands forever
on guard.
The boy who goes out into the world with
a fathers hope and fathers council us a fixed
part of his being will be soldier Of the repub-
lie brave IN war aud worthy in peace. and the
girl who carries with her the precious gift Of
a mothers tender training will possess adorn-
ments that the wealth OF earth could never
buy.

NO NEW LAWS TO LET
VERMONT HOHEN VOTE
Officials at State House Believe the
"0hio" Decision Settled That Mat
ter--Secretary of State Black
Preparing Extra Ballots.

How does Tennessee's action OF
Wednesday leave Vermont? was the
question that was discussed about the
State House Wednesday afternoon fol
lowing the announcement by a Times
reporter that that state had ratified
the 10th amendment. At first it SCENE
to be the opinion that a special session
would have to be called to pass an
enabling act to put the machinery in
force in order that women might vote
in the primaries September Il, but
after some of the attorneys among the
officers had reviewed the general laws
it appears 10 most of them at least
that the Ohio" decision settled the
matter and there would be no need of
a special session.
Those who decided that way believed
that the "Ohio" decision when the 10th
was ratified would elimi-
nate the word male from our primary
law: therefore the women would have
the same right as men and would have
to qualify in the same manner, namely
by saving that they have lived in the
state for year to vote for state Off
GERS and short length of time TO vote
for town representative.
However, it will be necessary for
Harry A. Black, secretary of state, to
have additional ballots printed. 1t is
believed that it will not take double
the number that are generally printed,
the samples of which have already been
received at the secretary's Office Raw
son Myrick, who has charge of that
work, was looking up data Wednes-
day afternoon and the general opin.
ion seemed to prevail that less than
half the number that had been awarded
In the contract would answer the pur.
pose for the additional number Of bal
lots After the minimum number has
been printed the remainder will be
printed by the price per thousand. the
contract having been let that way 50
that in case a ratification took place

EXAMINATION
When Arraigned on Charge
of Using the Mails to
Defraud
WAS WHISKED
BACK TO JAIr !
So That Curious Crl
Had Little Chanc $
to See Him

Boston, Aug. ls.-oharle All, dis
credited prophet of y finance
which instead of large profits has
turned into probable losses, the invest
ments of thousands of persons running
into millions of dollars, again was the
object of attention Of Boston crowds
to-day.
In brief respite from the East
Cambridge jail, where he has been
prisoner since he surrendered himself
week ago, he was before federal
commissioner for hearing on the
charge that he used the mails in pur-
suit of a scheme to defraud. The
crowds which had fallen in behind the
man when they thought he was max
ing millions for them in the hey.d
| of his scheme we're again out to see
him fall, many of them investors in his
supposed international postal exchange
business. But they had barely glance
at the changed figure, as Ponzi waived
the courtroom and back to jail in de-
fault of 5000 bonds Trial was set
for the September term Of the district
court.
In the throng which filled the court
room TO the limit of its seating and
standing space was John S. Dondero,
described as a partner of Ponzi in his
Securities Exchange Co. in papers filed
at city hall, and named with him as a
joint defendant in bankruptcy pro
ceeding brought by creditors several
days ago. Dondero has been missing sew
eral days, but service of the subpoena
in the case was made on him to-day.
Scanning the crowd as he entered the
courtroom, Ponzi noticed Dondero and
bowed To Others he nodded with p
smile. but his face soon returned 10 a
appearance, which was in contrast with
the smile of his prosperous days. In
stead of the white fannels and the
cane which had made his figure famil-
lar, Ponzi wore dark clothing and car
ried no stick, although there was a
suggestion of his-fermer dapper dress
in silk handkerchief protruding from
a pocket. a
He was bit paler than before, but
when a friend inquired how he was
feeling he replied, pretty good" and
when asked about his treatment at
the Jail said he had mo kicks" His
week in Jail was no new experience
to Ponzi, who, before he was com
mitted, confessed that he had been
convict at Montreal and at the federal
penitentisry at Atlanta
There was no outward indication to-
day of any attempt by Ponzi or his
counsel to obtain his freedom on bail
With $4,000 again set as the amount
required by federal officials, and the
attorney general willing TO accept
100000. to cover all state warrants to
date, the aggregate of sl25,0Oo was ap
psrently beyond the means Of the man
of recently reputed millions.

of Ponzi claimants to-day passed the
