OBLIGATIONS OF CITIZENSHIP

In no country Of the world are the
duties and responsibilities Of citizen
ship. when properly fulfilled, more
vital to the moral and material welfare
OF the nation, than in the United
States. and to the idealist the
neglect of obvious obligations appear
as the distinguishing characteristics OF
an astonishing large class OF citizens.
Those who shirk are as rule the most
acrimonious critics, and by reason OF
their failure to satisfy their own opin-
ions become disgruntled pessimists.
who, unable to lead refuse to be led.
1t is always pleasant to hear from
leaders OF public thought and able stu
dents OF our national tendencies a
word OF caution and advice which at
the same time takes a cheerful view.
This is found in the series OF lectures
delivered before Yale students by AS
sociate Justice David J. Brewer of the
Federal Supreme Court These lee
lures on the Responsibilities OF Citi-
Eenship" have been published in book
form under the title American Citi-
Ienship." In his final lecture Justice
Brewer offers these suggestions: "Of
all the obligations OF citizenship to ma
ton none is greater than those OF one
of our citizens TO the Republic. The
responsibilities OF citizenship are no.
where more sacred and solemn. To i'm
press this truth Is the purpose of these
lectures. Let me notice some of the
which justify the assertion; First, this
Republic occupies unique and promi-
nent position among the nations. It
was established by the most earnest
and resolute men OF the most virilo
races the world has ever developed
Coming here under the impulse OF
strong convictions, they meant to es-
tablsh the best home for man on the
face OF the earth, Thus situated and
thus protected, the Republic grew in
numbers and wealth until 1t became
strong enough to resist the attack OF
any nation, and now is so strong as to
be recognized leader among the ma
tions

Of infection is created around the body
that 1t would require very brave man
indeed to knowingly step into with
naked foot. Experiments have shown
that the plague bacilli remain alive for
twenty-five days. in and around the
body Of rat dying OF plague.
The plague is disease Of the soil.
The germs thrive best in a dry soil,
not in a moist, wet one. The boating
population OF China, who live exclu.
sively on the water seldom suffer.
The old dry, foul dust under a floor,
where moisture seldom reaches, is
where the bacilli live longest. During
the epidemic of plague in Canton, thir.
ty thousand Chinese died, but not one
OF the three hundred American and
British residents was attacked. This
was because they lived in houses rails.
ed of the ground, kept themselves and
their surroundings clean, and wore
shoes and stockings.
The skin is the chief port Of en-
try" for the bacilli. They generally
fasten on the feet and legs hence the
glands of the thigh, being nearest to
the seat OF infection, are the first to
take on diseased action. In those
rare instances when the plague is con-
tracted through the skin Of the hands
and arms, IL is the glands Of the neck
and armpit that first swell and become
diseased. The plague runs riot among
the natives of India and China Of the
lower classes, who go barefooted.
Some years ago many Of the soldiers
of the Shropshire regiment stationed
in Hongkong, who were detailed on in.
spection duty. were attacked with
plague. They wore shoes, but their
trousers were open at bottom, admit
ting dust particles ladSn with plague
bacilli.
II may be regarded as proven that
the prevalence of plague in this or any
city depends on its rat supply. With
us a vigorous war Of determination
against the rodents would soon reduce
their numbers below danger point. To.
gether with a liberal bounty on rats.
the most stringent precautions would
be necessary against their landing
from ships in the harbor. AS to the
risk of contagion, from rats brought
in alive in traps. there would be prac-
tically none. The handling Of dead
rats, however, would require to be
hedged around with strict regulations.
In places where the bounty system
has been adopted. 1t is prescribed that
no dead rat shall be received unless
wrapped in an antiseptic cloth, such
cloths being provided for the purpose
at slight cost. These details could
well be left to our health authorities,

RATS and The PLAGUE

Editor Evening Bulletin:-This city
being within the plague belt" the pos.
sibility of another outbreak in oub
midst should not be forgotten. Some
concerted effort ought to be made 10
exterminate the rats OF this city. This
could best be accomplished by Offering
a reward or bounty for each rat
brought in. The bounty system has
worked well in other States, for the
eradication of coyotes, wolves, etc.
and there is no reason why 1t would
not prove successful In our own case.
The price offered should be enough to
make the trapping of rats an induce
ment. Ten cents head would not be
too much. The destruction of a thou.
sand rats. with all their potency for
evil would be well worth a hundred
dollars to this community.
That the plague is disseminated
chiefly through the agency OF rats Is a
well established fact. While certain
conditions favor the spread of the dis.
ease, such as insanitary surroundings,
unclean habits, filth accumulations,
want of fresh air and water, back Of
all these is the agent that carries the
germ and starts the infection in the
first instanCe-the rat.
1t is a singular fact that the few dis
eases that are transmitted unchanged
from animals to man are extremely
malignant in type. Thus we get CLAN
ders from the horse. diphtheria from
the cat, and plague from the rat, While
alive. plague-stricken rat may spread
the disease broadcast, but when dead
the danger is much greater. A focus

Field Animals Needed,

Manila, Nov. SO.-The efforts to re-
store agriculture in the Philippines
have been blocked by the dearth of
field animals. Ninety per cen of the
animals died in the original epidemic
OF rinderpest and of the small num-
Der left, many have since died.
The government had planned an ex-
tensive importation of animals to
meet the crying need and had arrang-
ed to have them immuned.
It was forced to abandon this plan
on account of the lack of money to
meet the purchases. The general cul-
tivation of the plantations is impossi-
BILE without them and the absence of
any immediate prospect of getting
the field animals leaves the agricul-
tural situation in a serious condition.

uttered not Il murmur Or complaint, but
seemed quite content with what had
fallen to his lot.

For the winters day at last is Ger.

With never an upward spark to fly
From the silent embers that fade and die.

Many of the pretty and suggestive
little words that serve as names for
Japanese girls are as charming in Eng,
lish as in Japanese. 1t is not uncom-
mon for a Jap girl to bear the name Of
a flower. On the other hand. however,
some domestic utensils, as frying pan
or dustbrush. Doubtless this results
from the custom common among some
people of naming a child for the first
object that strikes the eye after the

How One Man Chooses Boys.
A gentleman who has charge of 200
boys in a large department store loves
to talk about boys.
How do you choose your boys?" was
asked.
MY first question is. Where is the
boy? You see. it all depends upon the
boy himself. You can judge the boy
better from his appearance, his man
ner. his dress and the way he comes
into an office than from any descrip-
ton OF him. Character shows forth in
little things; you can't hide it.. l take
boys by what you might almost term
first Impressions. l have sized him up
beforeNhe enters the office, the spect
full and self respectful way in which
he meets my look and questions Civ
ing ne an idea of his bringing up
and the stuff that is in him. AS to ap-
pearance, l look at once for these
things: Polished shoes, clean clothes
and clean finger nails. Good clothes
are not requisites. A boys clothes may
be ragged, his shoes may have holes in
them, yet his appearance may still give
evidence of a desire to be neat. l will
not employ a. cigarette smoker if l
know it. AS for reference, a boys
teacher is the best reference that he
can have. The recommendation which
a good boy in our employ gives a boy
applying for a position always receives
marked consideration
"a cash boys first advance is to
stock boy, office boy or cadet. A stock
boy attends to the work in whatever
stock he is in. A cadet is a general
utility boy. An office boy works around
some one Of the offices of the house.

sible we try to give our oldest employ
ees preference, but If another boy who
has not been here as long as another
shows greater fitness for a vacancy in
