poses Of the council.
A special committee OF the Board of
Trade some time ago made an exhaustive
report in favor of the national Board of
Health, quoting eminent experts to show
that only special independent commits
sion could deal adequately with the ques-
tion. On the need of national system Of
coast and interstate disinfection the COM
mittee said:
We use the wore ssdisintection as dis

as quarantine will practically disappear al

United States Health Law,
Bill To Create A New Government
Bureau.

The Board Of Trade and Transportation
has been in communication during the past
few days with number of senators and
representatives at Washington regarding
the Spooner bill, which provides for the
creation of bureau to be known as the
National Commission Of Public Health.
The plan is not new, but attention to it
is revived by the aggressive efforts of com.
mercial and shipping organizations in its
behalf. A similar bill has been introduced
in the House of Representatives by Mr..
Ray of New York, and it has recsived the
almost unanimous Endorsement OF the busi-
ness and shipping men here.
The bureau as provided for urder the
bill is to be under the supervision and di-
reetion Of commissioner of public health,
who must be a physician and experienced
ssnitarisa. An advisory council is also to
be formed, consisting OF one member from
each state or territory board of health, from
The medical corps of the army and navy
and from the Marine Hospital service.
This council must meet once or twice q
year in Washington and an executive com
mtiee is arranged for to execute the pur-

being unnecessary, bsrbarous and obsolete.
With the disuse Of quarantine would cease
the serious and unnecessary Interruptions
of commerce and travel in times OF epi-
demic, and with the pertecting OF such a
system as we outline the recurrence of epi-
denies would becom less and less frequent.
Under existing conditions in this country
lack Of confidence breeds fear and panic.
One state may hare an efficient Eealth
board, the adjoining state has none or a
very imperfect one. So also between towns,
cities and counties. The result is that when
an epidemic appears in any part Of the coun
try every locality within hundreds of miles
quarantines against the injected place and
places near it. The loss that this condition
entails upon the commerce and transporta.
tion interests is enormous.
A committee will go to Washington in .
few days to further the passage of the
Spooner-Ray measure.

WHY DO THEY KICK NOW!

It is always a pleasure to ac-
commodate our opponents, and
as they would naturally want as
many people to know why they
should be elected and we should
not, we will aid them to the ex-
tent of telling the people, it is
being argued by at least one who
feels that he is called to be Sen
ator that we are to be attacked
upon our votes in the Senate,
which is, we admit, legitimate.
This statesman who is solicitous
for the welfare of the people, is
saying that we voted against
giving to the Confederate SOL
diers in the session of 1901,
100000. True bill. We did.
Why? The bill which was drawn
by a committee appointed by the
Veterans Association asked the
General Assembly to appropriate
S15O,00O, we not only voted for
this bill, but made a speech in
it's behalf. In the lower House,
however, the bill was amended
and raised to 100000, which
amendment we opposed on the
ground that the Confederate vet
Grams asked for what they want
ed and we were willing to give
them that, but we were not will
ing to give them $4,000 more
than they asked for just to have
an opportunity Of making bun
.combe speeches for votes. The
bill as originally drawn would
have gone through without any
trouble and the soldiers would
have gotten S150,00O last year,
but the addition of the extra
$4,000 so complicated things
that in the hurry of legislation
in the closing hours the whole
appropriation was lost and only
the former 100000 could be
drawn. In the session of 1902
we voted for 100000 because it
was the sincere intention that
the soldiers should receive $780,
1000 the year before, and were de-
prived of it through no fault Of
theirs, therefore we cheerfully
voted to give them 100000 this
year, and we suppose this
amount will continue from year
to year until the State IS able to
give more.
That our opponents want to
make capital OF the pension mat
ter will not disturb US, for our
readers remember full well that
we made an explanation of this
matter in these columns when
the matter was fresh. We heard
no complaints then, but now that
we are standing for reelection
and being opposed, the opposi-
ton must have some kind Of a
tale of woe to take votes from
US, or it would be no use work
ing to defeat Us.
Then we learn that there is an
effort being made to make capi-
tai out of our advocating taking
the school children down to the

exposition. Friends: if our ac-
tion in this matter was not for,
and in the interests of education,
and for the welfare Of the chill
dren we have no appreciation OF
it's meaning. Yes, we advocated
taking the children to Charles
ION, went with them in person,
and did everything in our power
to make the trip pleasant and
profitable, we say right here
that it was a very proud privi-
lege we enjoyed to be entrusted
with so many children. "Oh!"
but says an opponent, 1.-The
money came out of the school
funds" How much money came
out of the school fund of the dis
trict in which that candidate is
interested? Not a red cent. We
only knew of three districts
which used any public money at
all, those were Pine Grove, Pax
vile and Pamela, and Paxvllle
and Pamela received aid by way
of private contributions. The
trustees of these three school
districts are responsible for
whatever action taken in regard
to this matter, and no one has a
right to complain of them except
the patrons of the schools in
those districts. What has man
living in another district got to
do with it? By his meddling
with it he shows that he is try
ing to stir up prejudice to make
votes for himself, not that he
feels an interest in those people,
for if he did, he would have re-
sponded to the appeal to be one
of twenty to pay the children's
expenses. Such rotten bum
combe may work on a very mar
row mind, but a very large ma
jority of the people~will under
stand it: The people through
out this county know onr atti-
tude in this school excursion
matter, and they know that if
there was anything wrong that
we are not to blame, the parties
responsible are the school trus-
tees, and we will wager that if a
vote is taken at Pine Grove, Pax
vile and Pamela, the patrons of
those districts will sustain the
trustees by an overwhelming
majority.
It is a great pity that men
cannot ind something in their
own makeup which would ap-
peal to the people, instead of
trying to elevate themselves by
dragging someone else down.
People, if we were not fit to rep
resent you in the Senate would
that alone make our opponents
suited for the place? 1t is easy
enough to stand off and criticize:
but some of these critics have
been placed in positions, let them
show where they did anything
that makes them more tit. What
is needed to represent people is
a man who has the necessary
qualifications, the size Of mans
girth is no Indication of brain, but
it may be an indication of being a
GOOD chair-warmer.

! Does it not appeal to the com
mon sense, and the justice of
every honest man, that before
the charter should be annulled
the violation of the terms of it
must be proven: If that were
not the case: not a dollar could
be safely invested in this State
as those who have money to in
vest would be chary about com
ing into a State that would in
vite investments and then take
away or cripple the investment
without the privilege Of being
! heard. 1t would be like invit-
ing man into your own house,
and after he got in, you lock the
doors. fasten the windows, and
then at the point of a revolver
demand that he turn over his
money and valuables. The
State grants charters IN
which there are certain rights
given, and provision is made
for the punishment of any viola
ton Of the terms of the charter.
How easy it would be for some
competing concern to smash up
an opponent if, by the simply as
sertiOn. that the opponents
charter had been violated, it
could stop the concern from do
ing business? What are the
courts for, if not to review
charges of the violation of law,
charters and rights of citizens:
We voted against the bill to
annul the charter of this COM
pany, and the more we think
over it, the more are we con-
vinced that our action was right
and which we would repeat un-
der the same circumstances.
Now that the case has been
remanded to our State courts,
and it is proven and so decreed
that the Virginia Carolina Chem
ical company or any other char
tered institution has Violated the
terms of it's charter we will with
out hesit tati0n vote to drive the
offending concern from our bor-
ders. but under no circumstances
are we going to play the role of
demagogue by crying outagainst
corporations without proof to
sustain our charge.
We are not opposed to corpor-
atious, for we realize that where
such concerns are honestly con-
Quoted, where they do legiti-
mate business. competing and
being competed with, they are
calculated to build up rather
than to break down. Where it
would take considerable capital
to conduct an industry which
would afford labor for many, one
man would not be able to start
it, but a number of men would,
and an enterprise is erected in a
community which proves a bles-
sing. We believe in encouraging
all such, but we are opposed to
that class of corporations which
have for their object a tape-worm
appetite and deliberately combine
their capital to destroy compe-
tition and to get absolute con-
troll. Those kind of corpora
tions are what we call trusts,
others call them combines, and
still others call them associa-
tions, but it matters not what
they are called, it is like the diff
ferent names doctors have for
diseases, the effect is the same,
and where such institutions ex-
ist, they are a menace to the vel
fare of the people as time must
prove.
