Assistant Secretary LOOMS of the
state department, in his article in
the Independent upon the situation
in San Domingo, puts his finger upon
the real danger in the situation when
he remarks that the debt of San Do
mingo is about S25 900 900, chiefly to
other countries than the United States,
and that the present state OF affairs
can not last much longer without at
tracing foreign attention in a way
somewhat similar to the Venezuela az.
fair. This danger becomes more acute
In view of the recent surprising de-
cision of The Hague tribunal. which
establishes the principle that powers
which resort TO blOckading and bonn.
harding as means of collecting debts
may thereby secure a preference over
creditors who pursue a less violent
course. In the existing chaos in San
Domingo. where there is no established
government, and three or four different
factions representing different as
plrants for the presidency are contend
ing for the mastery, with the very
minimum of regard to the foreign or
neutral interests there is danger that
any moment a situation may arise
which may give some foreign power
pretext for Intervention. II comes TO
pass, therefore, that although the
United States, as Mr. LOomis asserts
has no idea whatever of annexing San
Domingo and would be extremely re-
luctant to enter upon the responsibility
of a protectoratc over it, it may yet be
forced, and at no distant day, to adopt
the latter policy -BOston Journal

rHE APPENplcIrls FAp.

One may see on every hand that
appendicitis has become one of the
most fashionable of fads.
A malady of recent discovery, II
seems to have spread with the swift.
ness of the plague and to have gath.
cred its victims into the hospitals by
uncounted thousands.
Scarcely neighborhood or social
circle but has one or more of its mem
bers in a hospital being relieved OF
the troublesome vermiform appendix,
and fortunate is the man or woman
usually the woman-who escapes
with only one operation.
Wise in his generation was the
man who, when picked up uncon.
scious on the street and taken to a
hospital, was found to have had tat
tooed on his breast these words:
Don't operate for ppendicitis-had
appendix removed three times"
1t is a strange fact, wholly mex
plicable to the lay mind, that oper.
ations for appendicitis seem to be
considered imperative only in cases
of wealthy people. And 1t has fire.
quently been observed that in pro-
portion to the money people have to
spend for operations the necessity
for operations increases. The poor
man is permitted to- get along very
well with pills. This is one of the
advantages of poverty.
1t might be unkind to say any
thing that would discourage people
who have a penchant for appended
tis. 1t is the right of every one
particularly every woman--to be in
fashion. provided her husband has
the price for an operation. But If he
hasn't the price 1t is cinch she can't
have anything more aristocratic than
the old-fashloned, common stomach
ache.
This striking affinity between
money and appendicitis is puzzling
However, we know that too much
ease is the cause of many ills, real
and imaginary.
DR.. Thomas W. Lautedborn, of
Morristown. N. j., offers a theory:
When the man is active on his
feet, when he is doing considerable
walking, there is no danger of his
having appendicitis. for the reason
that the abdominal and intestinal
muscles are kept continually active,
and so are in good working order all
the while. The jolting given to a
mans interior economy when he
walks causes the muscles of the alb. |
domen and the intestines to contin.
ually contract to Offset the jar of his
step, and thus they are always in
perfect condition.
ION the other hand, when man
begins to take the trolley car, the |
steam car and to the carriage in max.
ing his daily trips, he loses all that
jolting which is necessary as a tonic
to the muscular walls OF his abdo.
men and intestines. SO when we see
a man begin to get flabby and pot.
bellied, we Immediately say that
there is good subject for appendl.

The theory is not new. II has been
applied to hundreds of ailments. 1t |
will no doubt be applied to hundreds
more before the world ends.

The man who walks and hustles

At the meeting of the Salem Com.

G. S. Hamilton said the issue at the
election Monday would be whether
this school district should have grades
above the ninth grade. That many
people have been turned away from
locating in this city on account of the
low grade public schools, he stated to
be fact, and hoped that the business
interests of this community would see
to 1t that higher grades were estab-
ilshed at the election Monday.
Lee viii BE Elected.
The Salem Woman's Club, and in
all about $50 citizens have endorsed
the principle for which Mr.. Lee
stands. When seen today he said 1t
was not a personal matter with him,
as he stood for the principle of add.

public school town. Indications are
that additional grades and Mr.. Lee
will both carry without opposition.
