Water.

DR.. George NJ. Kober, of Washing
ton, D. c., appointed by the health
officer to investigate 500 cases of
typhoid fever selected at random in
various sections of the city, found that
1876 contracted the disease athome and
81 outside the city limits.
OF these $50 were consumers of we'll
water, 1872 of Potomac water, 5 of
spring water, 3 of hthia water, and
3 of melted Kennebec ice.
The conclusions are
/, That well water, such as is too common,
ly used in town and country, is the most
perncious beverage consumed by human be
ngs and
,, That river water is not much better.
The article from which we quote
says further
Typhoid fever is by 10 means the only
disease generated by impure water, With
the exception, perhaps, of doctorcd" milk
it is the prolific, if not the 0nly cause OF
cholera.
1t has been demonstrated that the so-called
malarial teyers are really the offspring of bad
water
So that our friends in Cumberland
may set it down as "a conclusion that
cannot be certainly gainsaid that
until they get mountain spring water
the "malarial' conditions of the city
can never be exempt from "maaqual''
Influences.

Henry George says the Venezuelan
play is ''all politics"
He is about light.
Mr.. Cleveland had two provocations
to write message whose war tone was
too strongly pronouuced-Salisbury's
top-lolty refusal to arbitrate and re-
publican jingoism.
He fought both devils with fire.
Before the thing is over Salisbury
will be amlable and the jingoists will
be scrambling to get out of hole they
have pulled in after them"
The probability at this writing is
Cleveland, as usual, will laugh last.

Eree Books.

Somebody told the JOURNAL that
the book makers are at the bottom of
the scheme to supply free books to the
public schools, and it looks that way,
for the propagandists of the idea
appear to be working elsewhere than
in this State.
Not long ago the Rockingham (Va.)
Register felt called upon to enter this
protest against the proposal:
Before we talk about textbooks for the
school children at State expense let us give
them more school-longer school terms-and
better paid teachers. With only five months
school in the year and teachers at beggarly
wages, no real friend Of the public school
system will now advocate free books.
In this county not only "more
school" is needed, but more schools !
There should be more time spent in
the school-room, and more school
rooms to spend the time in. Al the
pupils Of the State are entitled to
these privileges and ace ommodations
before any further endowment can be
lawfully contemplated.
AT this stage of school progress it is
certain that free books are the roof of
a structure whose foundations are not
laid.

TOWN AND VICINITY.
Death of a Noted Man,


Hon. Daniel F. Miller, prominent
citizen of Iowa, died at the residence
of his daughter. Mrs. C. NJ. Primeau,
in Omaha, Neb., Dec. IL, in the sd
year of his age.
He was born at Miller mine, this
county, in October, 1915. He remain
ed here only long enough to become
proficient in his chosen profession
law-and then joined the movement to
the West, or rather became one of the
pioneers of that movement. He re-
manned for awhile in Pittsburg, but
his stay was short. He continued
westward and in 1889 reached Fort
Madison. He later moved to Keokuk,
his last residence.
Mr.. Miller was prominent figure
in the legal and political circles of his
State. He was the Oldest and most
prominent lawyer in the State, tigur-
ing in criminal cases. In political life
he was well known. He was elected
to the Legislature in 1910 and eight
years later occupied Iowa's first seat
in Congress. He was all his life a
sturdy democrat.
Mr.. Miller left Keokuk in a dying
condition to spend his last hours IN
Omaha with his children.
Mr.. Miller was the author of several
books, legal and historical, and years
ago was frequent contributor to the
JOURNAL,

Both Alike"

From the tone of some objections to
the Eastern Shore law that are urged
in Cumberland novices in political
economy hereabout would conclude
that it is almost as bad as the written
and unwritten codes which concentrate
about four-fifths of Allegany county
taxes i'll that eastern capital.
In both instances, however, it seems
that although the star of empire moves
westward, the orient holds grimly on
to her legendary rights to all the pro-
cceds.

Strange, but True.

A Chicago dispatch announces
that
w. H. Harvey, the apostle of free silver,
better known as Coin" has launched his
new political party. According to the
prospectus which Mr.. Harvey gave out, it Is
to be an oath-bound secret organization with
the title of Patriots of America" Its es-
pecial mission is to advance the cause of free
silver as well as to eliminate sefiShness from
politics, and it is expected to rapidly over
come all existing political parties.
The JOURNAL can easily give ere
dence to every overture III Mr.
Harvey's prospectus except that which
proposes to take "selfishness out Of
politics."
So far as it goes this tender is rank
usurpation of a prerogative held by
the church for nearly 1900 years, and
although the process was more sub
stantially illustrated by the martyrs
than it is by the missionaries, the work
goes steadily on.
we say-SoeS steadily on, IN spite
OF the fact that many of the ministry
as we'll as laity hold with quite as
much tenacity to their party pre-
objections as to their church relations.
In fact, some religionists would
fight quicker and harder for the right
to hold Office and thus save the country
than for the privilege of serving God
in the grace of humility and the
beauty of holiness.

Why Hens Successful

"Whatever success | have had
think was due to the fact that there is
something of the blackguard in my
nature. | like rough and tumble
fighting. You can't do much by sit
ting in your parlor and watching the
struggle that is going on in the street.
You must take off your coat, jump
into the scrimmage, and give as good
as you get. When you can maintain
a principle in that way you then reach
the fellows who run the machine and
they respect you. Then when you
take club and go in for another
scrimmage. your influence counts for
something. Theodore Roosevelt.

A Bad Scheme.


There are several questions the
JOURNAL submits to the partisans of
free books
|, Are they to be given only to those
children who attend school, who thus
need them less, or are they to be
shared alike by those who do not at
tend, and who thus need them more ?
2, If only to those who attend, on
what ground will the discrimination
be made
3, And will not such discrimination
be class legislution9
In New York there is a law COM
polling parents to send their children
to school, but none compelling the
authorities to furnish accommodations
for those children The situation is
the occasion of much ridlcule.
But in Maryland it is seriously pro-
posed to scatter 100000 worth Of
books the first year among the pupils
before providing either full time or
adequate sittings for their proper use.
In other words, one Of two things is
to happen
l, The pupils who attend free schools
are to have free books, Or
2, The children who do not or can.
not attend school, will be benefciaries
of neither free schools nor free books.
The blessing is to be two fold or no
fold.
1t is to be hoped, however, that no
such folly will be imposed upon the
taxpayer that no such line of favor
ism will be drawn between the chill
dren of the town and the children of
the country, and that no such mder-
galuati0n Of books will be inculcated by
the system.
Until there is school actually free for
a full scholastic year within reasonable
reach of every child, every call for
free books is a demand upon the tax
payer in the name of a beneficiary
who is not allowed, or is disabled from
taking his share of the proceeds of the
hold-up.
