COMPULSORY VACCINATION.


upon this subject in the last issue.
may be pertinent, explanatory and
timely; but they will not i'll the
least alleviate or appease the feeling
of the people in the condition OF
present circumstances. What prom
ised to be he most successful term
of schools III the upper townships
for years past, now seems destined
to utter failure. No matter who
may be at fault, some parties are.
Many citizens declare that 1.-THE
money paid for our schools this
winter, might as well be thrown
away" Some say, 1T were better
to close our schools, send the teach
ers home. pay them their full term
of salary, and save the expense of
fuel" From current reports on
every hand, our schools are de-
moralized, broken up, with no
reasonable hope of reol ganlzing
them to good working order,
The people appear to be in no
mood to being driven like herds of
cattle, or hogs to the shambles, and
submit their children to the ordeal
of vaccination, with the possible re-
suits of serious illness, or fatalities,
in a time when there are no cpl
denies OF any kind, in our, or near
by localities. Many people are in
fever heat of excitement over a
condition, so uncalled ior. and un-
necessary, and for which they are
so highly taxed. From present in
dicatlons, no person can restore
tranquility, if such despotic law
shall continue to be enforced. We
hear many people say that they will
positively not have their children
vaccinated, let the consequences be
what they may. If the authorities
are determined to enforce the law to
the letter, they will have to take the
responsibility. And in their per-
sistence they will rob our citizens
of their last vestige of personal
liberty. Where is the propriety, or
wisdom in raising such confusion
in our public schools, where all
should be peace. harmony and good
will, in order that our schools might
prosper and succeed
And to still further add to the
anger of the people is the fact that
the claim is set forth, that vaccina-
tion must be repeated every third
or seventh year. Then many again
say that large number of teachers
are not vaccinated, and they can't
understand why their children shall
be vaccinated and the teachers 60
free. Our people feel and know
that very great injustice contronts
them. This law it such it is, was
passed in the interest of somebody
else, more than to the interest OF
our citizens and tax payers.
The COLUMBIAN informs us that
''Dr. Arment has his instructions
from the State Department, and he
must obey those orders or turn the
Job over to some one who will do
So" We ask for further iniorma-
tion. Is DR.. Arment, or any one
else obliged, under penalty or fine
to do this work that the people re-
gard as the most despotic in the his
tory of our state. Would it not be
be well for the people to test the
constitutionality of the most obnoX-
ious enactments that ever confront
ed them, and not wait until the
legislature OF 1907 may modify, or
codify the peoples personal lib

MAIDEN; NAMES IN OTHER LANDS.

When a woman is married in
this country her maiden name is
seldom mentioned, says the LoAa0n
Chronicle. Many people to WHOM
she is very we'll known have never
heard it In France. on the con-
trary, there are constant reminders
of the earlier dignity. In Belgium
marriage does not extinguish it.,
for many married women often
combine tue old name with the
new. Moreover, they put The
maiden name last, thus giving it
the greater distinction. We can
illustrate this by supposing the Gus
tom to prevail in this country. In
that case Miss Brown when she
married Mr.. Robinson would have
her visiting cards printed: Mrs.
Robinson-Brown." This double
barrelled arrangement does not
give the Belgium wife a better
social status than the English wife's
but it is very soothing to feminine
pride. Er.
So also in some places in Europe
the married name is never used,
but the woman retains her own
name and is mt known by the
name of her husband. 1t has been
jocularly said, that in the United
States, and also in the united state,
the man and wife are one-query-
Which one?
Much difficulty would be avoided
and also much misunderstanding
between married couples and their
friends, if little consideration was
exercised by the parents at an early
stage of the game of marriage and
connubial life. For instance ill
stead of having girl baby bap-
tized by the Mary Josephine Eliza
Eleanor jenkins, she were to be
baptized by the single name of
Mary, and when she married James
And orson, she wrote her name in
full, thus Mary Jenkins Anderson,
all her rights and also her individ-
uality would be preserved and ac-
knowledged.
1t has been legally decided, over
and over. that an initial letter is
not name; difficulties often occur
where a Judgment is entered or a
note signed or a bill made out
against J. Madison. when there
may be John Madison, a James
Madison, a Joseph Madison or some
other of the numerous baptismal
names which begin with the letter J.
No true woman or wife will write
her name hyphenated, with her
husbands name in the middle; as in
the example given above. Such a
connection is not marriage, is not
a marriage of true minds or hearts
or persons. 1t is partnership and
not a desirable one either Ever
since surnames became the rule in
nomenclature, and the woman
was married to the man and they
became one flesh, she has properly
given up her identity to him.
AS matter of family distinction
and convenience the practice above
mentioned ought to be the rule:
The family name of both would
then appear, and the Robinson hy-
phenated Brown would be used
only by people who sc, sc, sc,
Pretty soon Mrs, hyphenated
Brown will have ner own private
apartments in hyphenated Robin
sons house, and the servants and
will be also hyphenated.
There never was anything better
than-the man and his wife, and to
that let us be true, and it must
follow as the night the day, we
cannot then be false to any man.

Shot a Bear.

While hunting in Pike county
Bruce Hartzel of this town shot a
black bear weighing $50 pounds.
The animal came out of hole only
a few feet away from him, and he
fired, the bullet entering between
the eyes, killing the bear Instantly.
