The pathetic passing Of the old civil
war veteran was emphasized in an
election Of the Grand Army Post at
Portage last week, when it was found
necessary to elect one man to hold
several offices. The same is true of
the Kilbourn Post, and is also becom-
ing necessary in general. With the
survivors of two other wars between
them and the days when these old
veterans astonished the world by
their valor, endurance and sacrifice,
they are modestly sitting in the back
ground. But the influence of their
loyalty, the record of their fierce bat
ties and unprecedented hardships will
never be replaced in history.
The influence of their valiant servi-
ces in war and their loyalty as citi-
zens during the succeeding genera
tons will live forever in the character
of true and loyal Americans. = Kill

Mrs. Frederick Won Post, for many
years a resident Of this city and now
with her sister at Los Angeles, Cal
sends this office a marked copy of The
Times of that city, one of the items
calling attention to the large business
done there and the other TO the con-
trOversy going on beween the Christ
ian Scientists and the District Attor-
ney Woolwine. The gist of the con-
troversy is contained in the following
lines taken from The Times:
In a letter addressed to Dr. Rea
Smith, president of the Los Angeles
County Medical Society, District At
torney Woolwine yesterday made a
bitter attack upon Christian Science
and asked the assistance of the medi-
cal society in prosecuting persons who
have recourse to Christian Science in
stead of medical practitioners for
sick children. Omission to supply medi
wine says is felony 'if without legal
excuse" In case death should ensue
after such an omission, he says, he
is satisfied such parent would be
guilty of manslaughter" Commenting
on his own letter, Mr.. Woolwine said
/ he proposes to prosecute all such cases
where conviction can be reasonably
expected or justified
Christian Scientists apprised of Mr..
Woolwine's letter last night pointed
out. that the practitioners of their
faith operate under a clause of the
State Medical Act specifically exempt
ing them from it's provisions and fur
/. Their drew attention to the fact that
/ Mr. Woolwine himself argued before
the United States Supreme court in
lsupport of the constitutionality of
