TO ENFORCE THE PROPERTIES


A short time since tho public was some

reckless manner in which some of our
amateur diplomats abroad were discussing
political conditions and questlnns for pub

and propriety.
The term amateur diplomats" 10 used
deliberately. because our representatives
abroad are new men in the diplomatic
field and not trained to the work as ar,. IN ,
representatives Of the European govern

that any public comment on any public
question is heard from an Ambassador or
minister at Washington representing q
foreign country OF any degree of civiliza-
tion or prominence, This rule OF silence
has been violated at Washington but once
or twice In our history. and the offens, In

SOUTHERN BUSINESS STRENGTH

The evidences OF the business activity in
the South during the year Just past. Ia
spite OF the general depression throughout
identiai campaign, continue TO multiply rs
the totals for the year In the various de-
partments of trade and finance are learned
The Post has already noted the met that
failures have shown during the past year
lower commercial death rate tn the
South than In any other portion OF the
country. save Now England. and the figures
just published of the bank cleariags. by
sections. for the whole OF the Unitsd States.
show a smaller decrease In the South than
In any other part OF the Union compared
with the preceding year. For the whole
country the decrease In the aggregate ex-
changes has amounted TO 1929 200. 600. dis
trbuted sectionally as follows: In the
Middle States, 20.s per cent; in the New
England States. 1871 per cent, in the Mid
die Western, liz per cent, in the Pacific
States. 1913 per cent: in other Western
States, 81 per cent, and in the Southern
States only per cent.
The South IT will be seen has practically
held its own while other sections have
shown considerable decrease. The volume
OF the exchanges constitute an admirable
measure OF the volume Of business activity.
and while the South has had nothing TO
brag about IN the extent or profi,A5l ,ness
OF its greatest crops. the general business
situation has developed strength and con-
serya,ism here. while weakness and lasses
have been the rule elsewhere. II looks GER
tainly as If such facts would sppeal to the
shrewder inanciers OF the country and in
duce greater investments in the South. II
security and steady prosperity are what
the investors desire. nowhere else can these
conditions be found so readily and uni
yersaiiy and in such prominent develop
ment. as in the Southern States. In the
meantime this favored section is growing
without any great help from the outside,
and II Southern capital will manifest still
greater confidence in Southern expansion II
will matter little to us whether or not for

LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG


FAMOUS speech.
Speaking of the dedication of the ma
tional cemetery at Gettysburg and Mr..
Lincoln's famous address delivered on
that occasion, Nov. 80, 1868, Governor
Curtin began by saying that there had
been much discussion as to how and
when that address was written, and he
continued, says The independents
L can tell you all about that OF
course | was there, and the president
and his cabinet had arrived and were
at the hotel. Soon after his arrival, as
we were sitting around in the parlor,
Mr. Lincoln looked thoughtful for a
moment or two and then said: i be-
lieye, gentlemen, the committee are ex-
pceting me to say something here to-
day. If you will excuse me- will go
into this room here and prepare it, >
After a time he returned, holding in
his hand a large, yellow government
envelope, on which he had written his
address
Here, gentlemen, he said, 4 want
to read this to You to see if ii will do. ,
An&, sitting down, he read it to us and
then said: Now for your criticisms.
VIII it do? What do you say?
Several spoke in favor of it, and
one or two commended it i'll strong
terms Well, says the president,
haven't you any criticisms? What do
you say, Seward?
Mr.. Seward made ono or two sug-
gestions bearing ON some slight verbal
changes, which l believe Mr.. Lincoln
incorporated.
Now, if you will allow me, gentle
men, continued the president, L will
copy this of. And he again Withdrew
made Il copy Of the address.
All, - continued the governor, IF l
had had wit enough about me to have
begged of him that yellow envelope,
what a trophy it would have been How
much it would have been worth to some
Of the ladies' fairs which little later
began to be held to raise money for the
hospitals and the soldiers. But l did
not think of it then
The Somerset reporter., 1897-10-21

A correspondent of the Washington
Post gives the following appalling ty-
phoid statistics: Every year in the
United States 400 900 people are sick
with typhoid fever Forty thousand Of
them die. They are sick rs days on an
average out Of every 1865 days Thus
we have 1l,20o 900 days of sickness
from this disease.
Every case Of this sickness means one
month generally two months, of idle
ness. If the wages of the patient are
only 90 cents a day, there is loss of
$15 month. Generally this sickness
means a loss Of wages in two months
time of 500 or $50. The average loss of
wages for six weeks would be 500 Add
to this the doctors bill which is any
where from $50 to $100-we will say
$50. If the patient lives in the city and
has trained nurse for only three weeks,
there is another $40. Ten dollars for
the prepared food, ice, milk, etc,
brings this moderate bill up to $iG5.
Multiply this by the number of people
sick, and we can see every year in the
United States sos, 900, 600 lost to pa
hents by the inraads Of this one disease.
