Mrs. A. is a heartless woman who
has none of a mothers natural feel
ings for her children, and that she
does not mourn over her dead baby
but I have seen Mrs. A. when she
thought she was alone, bitterly cry
ing and hugging her baby's shoes
to her breast.
Now, Mrs. A. is a plain-1ooking
woman herself and her husband is
a handsome man, but he has never
been known to look at another wom-
an and has eyes only for his wife.
Mrs. A. does all of her own work,
and the minute you come into her.
home you feel cheered and rested.
Do you think that it is disgraceful
of Mrs. A. to laugh and be cheerful
in spite of the fact that she recently
lost her baby?
MRS. D. L. M.
Answer: No indeed, I do not con-
denim Mrs. A. I think she is a
courageous woman, and a wise one,
to realize that she must live for the
living and not for the dead.
You may be sure that her heart
is bleeding from a wound that will
never heal, but she knows that tears
will not bring back her lost babe, and
so she forces a smile to her lips and
tries to make her home cheerful and
attractive for those who are still
left in it.
Grief can be the most morbid and
selfish thing in the world. A wom'
an can so absorb herself in her sor-
row for her dead child that she will
neglect her living ones. She can
make her house such a house of
mourning that her children will flee
from it as from a tomb. She can
let her grief build wall between
her and her husband.
[ have known women who did this.
I have known women who took pride
in never getting over" a death
They nursed their grief and feasted
like ghouls upon their dead. They
withdrew from society. They kept
their houses darkened and never al
lowed any merriment in it, They
dressed in black with long, somber
crepe wells. And they always brought
further disaster upon their heads.
For men have philosophy enough
to take life as it comes, and to &C
cept the inevitable and make the
best of it, They put their sorrows
behind them and want to take part
in the ordinary distractions Of life.

SO the women who have made a
cult of their sorrows are inevitably
left alone with them, while their
husbands and children find merrier
companionship outside.
Any weakling can sit down and

keeping company with young lady
nineteen years of age. She Is an
orphan, and also a widow with a
baby girl. AS T am considerably
older than she is, I have always
reverenced her because of her love
for her baby, for since her nus
bands death she has been both moth
err and father to the child. She
dresses well, but not flashy; and her
baby always looks like a million

in one of the railroad offices, but

lady for caring for her house and

manager, and would make a good
wife for any old bachelor. What do

mother was right, Mr.. Nobody.

Governors Statement
Continued from PAGE Onel

lie are entitled to full information, the
usual practice of maintaining secrecy
until the result is made known will not
be followed and as each county is tab
ulated the results will be announced,
for in matters of this sort L believe the
public should be taken into the conf
dence of the officials.
II want it understood, however, that
the results announced cannot be consid-
cred as official until the formal meet
ing of the governor and council which
is to be held the latter part of the COM
ing week.
There is some misapprehension as
to just what the duties of the governor
and council are. In the first instance
we do not count the ballots nor do we
see them. The ballots remain with the
local officials until a recount is re-
queSted by the candidates. This pro-
cess is regulated by law.
THE tabulation consists of taking
the returns as sent in by the town and
city authorities, looking through them
for errors and omissions and adding
totals together. Many errors creep in.
The returns may not be signed, others
may not record the total number of
votes cast, and one Of the most promi-
nent errors is where the numerals do
:.
As an example of the latter, I recall a
return from a representative district
reading as follows:
Smith AZ forty-seven
Zones III one hundred
THE question raised is: Did Jones
receive III votes according to the nu-
merals, or 100 votes according to the
written words? Other errors are where
the name of the town or date is miss
ing.
THE attorney general will he con-
suited on all close questions and then
the candidates will be in a position to
protect whatever rights they have.
Where errors are apparent, the law
provides that the governor and council
can obtain certified copies of the rec
ords in the towns. Moreover a number
of home made ballots We're cast and
this also raises an interesting gues-
ton.
Shall these ballots he counted not
WlthStanding the provisions of the law
in regard to official ballots. or shall the
voters be disfranchised because there
were not enough ballots provided? The
secretary of states office complied with
all the provisions of law in regard to
furnishing ballots, and every detail
was carried out faithfully. No criti-
cism can be attached to any State Off
cial because there We're not enough
ballots. The unprecedented call for
Republican ballots upset all calcula-
tions. AS to the reason for this, 1 have
nothing to say for I am only interested
in the fact itself. The secretary of
state did everything that was required
of him.
THE gubernatorial situation NAV or
may not prove to be a long story. but
which ever way 1t goes and regardless
of personalities, the governor and
council will do their work promptly
and impartially."
