DR.. Benson, the Health Commissioner
at Baltimore, says that measles and
chicken-pox always follow an epidemic
of smallpox, and that these diseases make
a greater propOrti0nate havoc among
children in hospitals because the patients
are in an impoverished condition and have
not the powers Of endurance usual with
those whose parents are able to have them
treated at home. He claims that these
diseases in that city are not epidemic but
endemic. This seems to be a distinction
without much real difference.

The Waco Day gives the following
account of q notorious case of def
ance of the law:
People who visit Hill county say
that Tom Varnell, who murdered old
man Jonas Land, near Hubbard City,
makes his home on his native heather
almost as unconcerned as before he
stained his hands in innocent blood.
1t is an open secret that he spends
most of his time about the Varnell
ranch, and is occasionally seen riding
over the country looking after his
stock OF horses. He is always accom-
panied by one or two armed friends
or sympathizers in the section where
he turks. Governor Ireland's promi-
sed reward Of $500 will never capture
Varnell; the undertaking is too
hazardous to tempt men for such q
reward. The Varnell ranch is located
in wild and rugged section of Hill
county, where rocks, caves and thick
underground abound. Varnell knows
every foot of it and helped by sympa-
thizers he can stay there and bid def
ance to pursuit One of his relatives
told a Waco officer the other day:
tom has always armed friends with
him and you officers can't catch him"
1t is believed that Varnell was right
here in Waco while Geo. Walker was
on trial. If the governor would offer
a large reward, say $500 or $1,000,
men could be found who would take
their lives in their hands and hunt
Varnell down. The governor sho uld
either do this or send detachment
OF the state rangers to Hill county
and let them kill Varnell, or drive him
out of the country. tits q disgrace
to the State that this audacious young
murderer is permitted to remain,
unmolested and unarrested, in q set
tied and populous county like Hill.

Profits for the LabOrer.

In The Century for October Rev.
DR.. GLADDEN. has an essay on "Christi-
anity and Wealth" from which we
quote: 1T must he possible to shape
the organization of our industries in
such way that it shall be the daily
habit OF the workman to think OF the
interest of the employer, and OF the
employer to think of the intesest OF
the workman. We have thought it
very fine to say that the interests OF
both are identical, but it has been
nothing moro than fine saying; the
problem now is to make them identi-
cal.
'It is not difficult problem. The
solution of it is quite within the
power of the Christian employer.
All he has to do is to admit his labor
ers to an industrial partnership with
himself by giving them a fired share
in the profits Of production, to be
divided among them, in proportion
to their earnings, at the end OF the
year If there were no profits there
would be nothing to divide; but a
certain percentage of the gains OF the
year might thus be distributed when
gains were made. The employer
ought to have large reward for his
abstinence, and for the intelligence
and experience required in organic
ing and managing the business-a
reward far large than any OF his work
men. That principle few among
them would think of disputing
They would expect him TO reap the
benefit of his superior power and
they would understand that his
accumuIations must be sufficient TO
enable him TO meet the losses occur
ring from time to time, which they
could not share. But il they could
see that they were 10 be sharers OF
his prosperity,-thst the larger his
gains we're, the larger would be their
dividends at the end OF the year.
they would have 4 motive TO do good
work that now is lacking, and a
wholly new relation would be estab-
lisbed between themselves and their
employer. That this would be for
the interest Of the employer, / have
no doubt that il would attach his
laborers 10 him, and awaken feeling
Of good will and q hope Of bettering
Their condition that would add greatly
70 their happiness and 10 their eff
ciency. seems plain But the strong
reason for the change in the mind Of
a Christian man, wOah be The simple

THOMASA. HENDRICKS.

Unlike the candidate for President
Mr.. Hendricks, nominated for Vice
President, is an old acquaintance o.
the people Of the United States. HI
the same Hendricks who was nance
for the same place with Tilden il
1876. His biography, briefly, run'
as follows: He belongs to q family
which traces its descent to the
Huguenots on the fathers side. Hi
mother was of Scotch origin, native
of Chambersburg, Pa, and member
of family that belonged to the
Scotch Covenanter school. His grand
father was member of the Pennsyl
vania Legislature during the admin
istration of George Washington, his
fathers home was the resort Of politi-
clans, and an uncle was one of the
Secretaries of the Indiana Constitu-
tional Convention which met in 1916,
also Democratic Governor OF the
State in 1919, and two terms elected
United States Senator It will thus
be seen that Governor Thomas A.
Hendricks comes Of good stock, repre-
senting the sturdiest elements Of our
population. He was born in Musk
ingum Co. Ohio, later his father reno
we'd to Indiana. Mr.. Hendricks
graduated at South Hanover College,
in 1S41, and studied law at Chambers
burg, Pa, where he was admitted to
the bar in 1S43. Returning to Indi-
ana, he was elected to the Legisla.
ture in 1848, and was member OF
the State Constitutional Convention
in 1850 From 1851 to 1855 he
represented the Indianapolis District
in Congress, in the next four years
was Commissioner in the General
Land Office under appointment OF
President Pierce, and from 1868 to
1869 was member Of the United
States Senate. In 1872 he was elected
Governor of Indiana for the term
ending January l, 1877. He. was
A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT
in 1863. On the twenty-frst ballot
he had 1872 votes, against 1861 for
General Hancock At this juncture
Horatio Seymour was sprung upon
the Convention and unanimously
nominated. He was candidate for
the first place in 1876, but then, as
now, was nominated for the Vice
Presidency.
Governor Hendricks has many
admirers among the people, espe-
cially those of Indiana. One of them,
nominating him eight years ago,
declared that there was no spot or
blemish on his public or private
character, and then pronounced his
Democracy as "catholic rs the Con
stitution itself And third declared
that he was "endowned with capacity
for continuous effort, tenacity of pur-
pose and simplicity Of habit"
