IRONTON. MO. THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1903

comparison between the navy OF the
United States and that of Germany, to
the disadvantage of the latter, was in
considerate, but he has told the Presi-
dent that no offense was intended to
Germany. He merely wanted to show,
by concrete illustration, that the
United States could hold its own on
the ocean against any European power,
excepting possibly Great Britain.
But the Berlin papers do not accept
this explanation. They declare that
Dewey is vain and boastfnl. They
say, moreover, that the United States
easy victory over Spain, fourth-rate
power, has inflated American pride in
its navy beyond all reasonable war
rant. All these things show an irrit-
ability on the part of Germany which
effect in this country than in exciting
laughter. Of course, the Admiral
should have recognized German SEN
sitiveness, and ought to have been
more careful in his comparisons.
There has been too much loose talk
recently among soldiers and sailors,
not only in the United States, but in
England, Germany and other coun-
tries.
Yet the American people can not
help feeling pride in their navy. In
all the wars in which the country has
been engaged the navy has given a
good account of itself. 1t showed up
we'll in the war of independence. In
the conflict of 1925 it won imperish-
able laurels. 1t was the mistress of
the seas which the Americans were
fighting in those two wars. The vic
tories which were gained against Spain
five years ago were in line with those
which were won against an immeasur-
ably more powerful enemy at an earlier
day. Sea fighting is carried on to-day
under radically different conditions
from those which prevailed a century
ago, but the chances are that even
against the most potent OF the naval
powers of the world of the present
time the American sea fighters would
hold their own. Globe Democrat.

All Women Should Marry.

Miss Mary Van Worst, who spent
weeks as factory girl and mill girl
to gain material for her book, The
Woman Who Tolls, has emerged from
her strenuous experiences with the
firm conviction that every girl who
can should marry.
1t is the modern girls disposition to
take care of herself, she says, that
brings upon the factory and mill girls
the unutterable evils they suffer. 1t
is no new argument that Miss Van
Worst offers. The right ideai for the
inspiration and development of the
mind and soul Of the young girl 10
matrimony. The right state for the
stimulation and fructifcation of the
mature woman is matrimony.
But that there is a growing tendency
among American girls to remain single
and shift for themselves is clearly
evident. The fields of employment for
girls are overcrowded, but girls pa
tiently wait for openings or even work
at starvation wages, while marriage Is
the last thing they think of.
History is luminous with the great
deeds of women. Literature is rich
with thought from women's minds.
But among the names of eminently
great women of any period or any pur-
suit you will look in vain for that of
any old maid.
Joan dare is the one possible ex-
ception that emphasizes the rule, yet
it must be admitted that the world
does not know whether she was mar
ried or not. Anyway, she was little
more than child.
A tree transplanted from its native
cline and nurtured under unnatural
conditions may live and seem to thrive,
but it is not by such that the richest
fruit is borne. And it is the same
with a woman out of her natural ele-
ment. ST. Lou1S Chronicle.

Mr.. German is for "harmony." or

DANGER OF SMALL.
POX NOT OVER
Disease Reported to be Prevalent
in North and West of
County
BROWN COUNTY TOWNS HAVE CASES
Cato Has a Small Scare City Now Free
of Pest-State Authorities Report
Disease Disappearing

Smallpox has not entirely disappeared
from Manitowoc County and although
not epidemic its presence in several
sections is causing considerable trouble
to Health authorities and arouses a
fear that with the coming of cold wealth
er the County may again experience the
conditions of l901-1902. No County in
the State has made better fight
against the pest thar Manitowoc and
it has been successful and should protect
this section from dangers of a serious
invasion.
From reports during the week, small
pox is prevalent in the northern and
western sections of the county. Several
cases of the disease have been treated
at Maple Grove in the past few weeks,
but it is now believed that the inroad
has been checked. At Cato, Sunday,
considerable excitement prevailed, when
it was discovered that Joseph Heynek
was suffering from smallpox, the case
being well developed and in appearance,
virulent Of type Heynek resides on
farm north Of the village and made his
appearance to consult physician and
had visited several business places. Up
on the announcement that the man suf-
fered from smallpox, he was immedi-
ately removed to his home and the
promises are now under quarantine.
According to the report brought to the
city several members OF Heynek's
family are now i'll with the disease. DIR.
IO'Connell, health officer Of the village,
has taken every precausion TO prevent q
spread of the contagion which may
have resulted from Heynek's visit and
there is little fear of further trouble.
In the city the diseases has been en-
tirely wiped out though several cases
have been treated during the past few
weeks State Health authorities rs-
port but few cases the largest lumber
being in the city Of Milwaukee.
With proper precautions on the part
of the public City health officers say
that there should be no danger from
smallpox the coming winter
1t is reported that smallpox is preva-
lent in several towns in Brown County.
