Judge RisjOrd Upholds Recount Board.

Attorneys Marion +. Reid and
James Flandrena Saturday morning
received from Circuit Judge C. n.
Risjord copies of his decision in re-
appeal of David d Reid from the
recount of the votes cast in the
Fourth ward at The April election
for alderman by the city board of
canvassers.
Judge Risjord affirmed the re-
count of the canvassing board and
declared he had no authority and
would not be warranted III declaring
the election void.
Regarding the ballots voted by
mail, which formed one of the points
of alleged illegality on which the
appellant asked that the election be
declared void on the grounds that
they did not have attached physl-
clans certificate. Judge Risjord
said, after touching upon the cir
cumstances attending the casting Of
the ballots: | do not believe that
the failure to attach the certificates
under these circumstances rendered
the ballots absolutely void and lille
gal SO as TO effect the result of the
whole election for alderman in that
ward. There seems to be no sug
gestion of fraud i'll connection with
any OF these ballots. 1t was pro.
badly an commission due to lack of
knowledge of the provisions of the
statute by the electors, and, per
haps, also by. the clerk and the
election inspectors, OF at least over
sight i'll notdiscoveringit its absence. "
Did the failure on the part Of
the inspectors to open and vote these
ballots before the polls were closed
vitiate the election? think not.
believe the statute providing for
the opening of such ballots while
the polls are open should be regard
ed as directory rather than manda-
tory, particularly as there is no
evidence of fraud or deceit on the
part of the absent voter, or any
body connected with it. 1t was
purely an oversight OH the part OF
the inspectors that these ballots
were not opened and announced be
fore the polls were closed. and
think it should not be held that
the electors were disenfrauchised
by such mistake.

MOTHERS DAY TOMORROW.
Whole Nation viii Join in Paying
Tribute TO Mother. May IA
Holiday in Her Honor.

Tn accordance with the custom
which has now spread over the en-
tire United States, the second Sun
day in May is set aside to pay tri-
butte to mothers everywhere. In
1914 the day was set aside as a
national holiday by a resolution of
Congress.
The Secretary of the Navy has
requested all sailors 10 write to
their mothers. The text of his pro-
clamation is as follows:
Sunday May I4th, will be OBJ
served as Mothers Day throughout
the United States. All men in the
service of the United States should
pay tribute to their mothers. When
practicable, commanding officers
should hold suitable ceremonies in
commemoration of our mothers. Ev-
cry one whose mother is living is
urged to write to her that day
Here are some ways of remember
ing mothers on Mothers Day:
Have your mother and father as
guests of honor or give them other
pleasure. A day off for mother"
from home seclusion and care might
be new, joyous memory to her and
you.
Go home, if your visit will mean
happiness instead of added work for
mothers tired hands.
No person is too poor or busy to
send home the ong-neglected letter,
telegram, phone message or gift of
praise or gratitude. Do not wait un-
til too late for it to give pleasure
Display the flag from homes and
other places on Mothers Day as
public expression of love and rever-
ence for mothers.
Persuade her to have her picture
taken Il portrait of your mother is
the most wonderful picture in the
world. If you are separated from
her, send her your photograph ask
her to send hers in return. Mother
Day should constitute one more SUBJ
stantial link that binds US to home
and the past.
Mother! Home! that blest refrain:
All things go, but these remainw
Home The place from which we
set sail for the adventure of life.
The place where we weigh anchor
whenthe storms buffet us. The place
toward which we turn for new
start when unsuccessful. The place
to which we hurry with our troph.
les won. The place of solace for
wounded heart. Home is home be-
cause mother is its center and soul.

CURRENT COMMENT
And Then Fletcher

BY grapevine telegraph and in
other ways the word goes ouo that
the candidacy of Redfeld Proctor
for Governor will be announced III
a very short time and that the well
known maker Of Govcrncrs--Mr.
Hays of Burlington and Essex
Junction-will act as pilot for the
Proctor political ship.
To be sure the geniol Mr. Hays
looks panied When he is asked as
to the truth Of the story but it is q
known fact that in his younger
and unregenerate days Lynn play
ed enough poker to be able to look
entirely different from what he
feels.
Having established to our own
satisfaction thai there is a Proc
tor-Hays offensive being prepared
against the entire front what re-
mains to interest US is whether the
sage of Cavendish will stay in his
comfortable bomb proof abode or
whether he will don his tin head
gear, button on his cartridge belt
and start little foray of his own.
A Fletcher Proctor-Foote contest
ought to maintain more than a
passing interest in thing political
and a short time ought to indicate
whether it is bound to eventuate.-

All three of these appearances oc-

himself before eleven OF the Apostles

argument that those who don't pay
their money to support the town
ought not to take part in. voting
other peoples money away, or, IN
fact, participate to any degree in
the business of the town. ct there
is another side to it. AS Il matter
of fact, the very argument cited
above falls down in its precise APP
plication. The business done at the
annual town meeting is that for
the current year just beginning.
At this time nobody has paid the
taxes that are being voted for the
very good reason that they havn't
been fixed, levied or collected and
will not be for months to come.
Any taxpayer taking part in March
meeting may be a delinquent at
the end of the year, though he has
enjoyed the privilege of narticipa-
ton. Disfranchisement Tor non
payment of taxes is therefore a
punishment imposed for previous
delinquency-probably for the pre-
cedlng year. On that basis, can 1t
be justified There is law a-plety
there are penalties sufficient, eX-
tending to the disarmament Of
property and even imprisonment
designed to enforce the payment of
of taxes. 1t seems like cruel and
unusual punishment to add another
and special infiction-a penalty
not even imposed upon our worst
convicted criminals, applied with
out trial or opportunity for the de-
linquent to be heard in his own be-
half. We have known instances
where good substantial citizens,
who in their lifetime have paid
thousands of dollars in taxes, but
by sudden misfortune were unable
to meet the levy before town meet

iected to the ignominy of being
blacklisted, while poll taxpayers

MIND YOUR OWN BUSI-
NESS PEOPLE

Popular ideals c-lange. Years
ago it was thought to be very
much to mans credit, to say
that he was disposed to mind his
own business. If he paid his
debts, obeyed the laws, and at
attempted strictly to his own
ideal citizen.
But people began to realize that
that type of personality did not
develop a fine community. People
were so busy looking after their
own affairs, that they paid no
attention to public matters. They
did not see to it that heir cities
developed in the best way The
interests Of large elements of pop
ulation were neglected. Towns
grew up with unsatisfactory
schools, but nobody looked after
the community business. So many
years ago there developed COM
munity movements, which sought
to persuade people to devote a
little Of the time they had spent
so assiduously in minding their
own business, in looking after
their common interests. Pioneers
in this movement were considered
to be Quitting in. They were
told they would better stay at
home and look after their own af-
fairs. Women who worked for
better schools and Fairgrounds,
were urged to go home and bake
bread and look after the child
rem.
But these movements have got
ten great results. A new ideal
Of personality has developed. The

ly minds his own business, but

ness must be attended to also.
Something of the same principle
is developing in international re-
lations. Many people say the
United States should mind its own
business and let the rest of the
world severely alone. But the
United States can no more lock
itself up in its own boundaries

world affairs, than the business
man can shut himself in his shop
and refuse to have anything to do
with community movements.
The Sorrows OF housekeeping

him a needless unheaval, and he
gets sour ana cross over tne dll-
ner table.
The housekeeping spirit, how
ever, is the product of good old
fashioned housewifery, 1t is the in
helitance of a time when women
scrubbed and swept long hours in
the attempt to make their homes
sweet and clean. 1t is this patient
war against dirt that makes well

healthful than one in the slumS Of
the cities.
These well cleaned homes give
their inmates protection against
the perils that always lurk where
dirt accumlates. Before getting

mage, the man of the house should
reflect on the dangers he has es-
capped through his wife's stand

The Satisfaction of Country Life
The life is more than meat, said
St. Luke's gospel. The problem of
country life is not merely the
creation of economic prosperity
important as that may be. There
are many people who never attain
ed any great success from money
point of view, who have lived eX-
ceedingly happy lives. Many 9th
ers who had all the dollars they
wanted, have never been happy
Manifestly then there are ideals
more important than money.
Country life has certain advan-
tages and benefits that are outside
of money and do not depend upon
business success. They can be at
tanned both by those who make
large financial gains in the coun-
try, and by those who never sue
coed in getting very far ahead in
business. People who win these
results, and who thereby live lives
of many and rewarding satisfac-
tons, are getting the very best re-
suits of life, and are successful
from any rational point of view.
Before people rush away to
cities, in the blind search for
money and pleasure, they should
study more carefully these salts
factions that are theirs for the
