The Sun is sorry to have to
• chronicle the passing of one of !
our most highly respected citi- 1
zens and faithful co-workers for '
the betterment of this communi- '
ty in the person of Mr. Samuel 1
K..’ Mebaue of the Mustang com-
munity, who passed to the brigh- 1
ter life on Tuesday morning at
two o’clock, aged about 65 years. '
after a failing in health for the '
pas* several weeks. He was a
man prominent in all enterprises
for the betterment of the com
munity and his fellow tillers of
the oil. At the time of his sur-
mise he was President of the Al
vin National Farm Loan Associa-
tion and was formerly president
of the Alvin Fruit and Truck
Association, and has been con-
nected with the banking inter-
est of Alvin at times. The fun-
eral was held from the Presby-
terian church, of which he was
a faithul member, on Wednes-
day, January 9th, at. 2:30 p. rn.
and the remains were laid to
rest in the Confederate cemetery 1
by the side of his wife who died
very suddenly about two years
ago. He is survived by* the fol-

Provost M arshal General Crow-
der presen :ed his report to the
, Secretary of War, which was sub-
mitted to Congress on Thursday
of this week. If the recommen-
dations of General Crowder are
carried out there will be no more
drafting of tien who have depend-
ent families, nor will necessary
Iff industries and agricultural pur-
a suits be interfered with in order
li to accomplish this. He recoin-
mends that the diaft be confined
to Class I, and that the law be
-amended so as to take in those
.hereafter becoming twenty-one
years of age, and draw upon them
rather than upon those in the oth-
er classes where there are depend-
ents to be considered. He esti-
mates that there are now one mil-
lion men within Class 1, and that
700,000 able bodied young men
will hereafter reach the draft age
annually. His report further
shows that there was evident some
variation of practice among the
ex-
empting married men. One state
, held thirty-eight per cent of the
married men called for service,
while in Wisconsin and North Da-
kota only eight per cent were held
and efforts will be made to here-
after unify the practice of Boards
_ more closely in this regard. As
General Crowder himself now pro- of
poses an amendment of the law in
order to avoid the drafting of men
with dependent families, it occurs
to ate that those who criticised me
so severely for offering an amend-
ment for the name purpose ough’
now to grant me their forgiveness.
The Womans’ Suffrage Commit,
tee of which Jadge Baker of Cal-
ifornia is Chairman, and Miss
Jeannette Rat kin is a member, has
been busily engaged this week in
hearings on the proposed Susan B.
Anthony amendment to the con
stitation. Consequently, many
hundreds of adies from d'fferent
sections of the United States, in-
cluding Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Catt, Dr. Anna Shaw and others
less prominent, have appeared and
presented arguments before the
Committee. It is claimed by the
proponents of Womans’ Suffrage
that it will be carried in Congress
by a vote equally as large as that
by which the .prohibition amend-
ment was carried, yet the line up
will be entirely different. For in-
stance, a lar|je majority of the
Southern representatives voted for
the prohibition amendment, while
they will vote against the Wo-
mans’ Suffrage amendment. On
the other hand, the representatives
from New York and Illinois wcic
largely opposed to the prohibition
amendment, shile every Congress
man from tnose two states will
probably vote for the Womans’
Suffrage amendment, as those
states now have female suffrage, ’
and any Congressman who vote- .-

•gainst this amendment will b<.
