Personal Bonds and Public Health

There should be no room for 4 controversy
between the health officer and the Police
Court over matters OF fact relating to the
practice Of taking the personal bonds of
persons accused of violating the sanitary
regulations 1t should be possible to set
tie beyond dispute the exact state of the
case. and to ascertain precisely whether
there is an effective cooperation between
the health Office and the court in the en-
forcement of the regulations. That such
cooperation is necessary to the continued
good health of the community is undeni-
able. There is, moreover a general senti-
ment that the practice of taking personal
bonds, after the violator of the rules has
been twice warned by the inspectors, is
subversive of all order, and that it pre-
vents reform.
Somebody speaking for the Police Court.
declares that the personal bonds are not
taken save when the inspector so recon-
mends. The health officer denies this. The
Police Courts representative asserts that
in many instances the inspectors. who are
cited as the complaining witnesses are
not present in court when the cases are
called. and that therefore the accused must
be allowed to go free on a dismissal or a
continuance, or the taking of bonds The
health officer also denies this statement
and alleges that if the inspectors are alb
sent from court when the cases are called
1t Is because they are not notified of the
hearing.
There is enough in this situation to call
for sharp Inquiry by the Commissioners
to ascertain, on the one hand, If the court
Is ignoring the plain requirements of the
citys sanitary welfare by granting too
much license to persons accused Of infrac-
tons Of the rules or is negligent in the
matter Of notifying the inspectors OF trial
dates. and. on the other hand. if the health
office workers negligent in the matter
of court attendance or are assuming an I'M
warranted authority in recommending the
taking OF bands The Commissioners have
already taken strong position In oppo-
sition 10 the personal bonds procedure and
the abandonment of prosecutions. and this
matter certainly calls for a thorough in
quiry, especially at a time when the public
health is seriously menaced by various cpl
demic diseases.

his ambition. He was eager for a larger
fame and a greater influence than seemed
obtainable in that body. and so he retired
and took the lecture platform on his own
account. He Travelled far and wide, adj
dressing such audiences as he could gather,
and everywhere put his whole soul into his
work. 1t was in this way that he became
widely known. especially to the politicians,
who were then talking silver. Although a
dark horse. he was stranger to the men
who composed the democratic convention
at Chicago in 1885, and his rafting speech
there which won him the presidential nomi-
nation was but a rehash In stirring terms
Of views many of the delegates had heard
him express elsewhere
Since then several men of note suspected
of presidential aspirations have gone into
the lecture field. Mr. La Toilette and Gov.
Folk filed engagements during the season
just closed. and Champ Clark at one OF the
meetings he addressed announced In droii
way that he might offer for his party
nomination in 1908. Shall We hear next sea-
son that Mr. Fairbanks and Mr.. Cannon.
Mr.. Spooner and Mr. Foraker have taken
this STEP and enrolled themselves among
the Chautauquan stars? They are capital
takers, and would acquit themselves well
before such audiences.

Chautauquas and the Presidency

Rev. Mr.. Macarthur of New York. fresh
from lecturiug before the Chautauuua So
cieties west and south, Is enthusiasts about
those organizations. He pronounces Mr.
Bryan the star OF the Chautauaua plat
form, and says:
Plans are now forming for a great
Chautauqua trust that will reduce ex-
penses and create unity of religious and
political teaching. II is quite conceivable
that the Chautauqua societies can control
the next presidential election"
Undoubtedly the Chautauquas afford pub
He men fine opportunity to extend their
influence. AS rule. they are patronized
by bright people. who are much respected

makes the circuit OF such meetings and ad-
dresses himself to serious subject before
such audiences he may count upon being
remembered by them in their conversations
after the season is over.
That Mr. Bryan should be at the head OF
this class OF lecturers may be termed
reward of merit. He developed In his own
fortunes the value OF the lecture platform
to q politician. He had tried the House OF
Representatives, and although his success
there had been fair 1t had fallen short OF

A Presidential Adviser.

The only thing peculiar about the man
who wired the President from Wilkesbarre
on the subject of the peace treaty seems to
be his recklessness in money matters. He
had abundant company in dealing with the
Russo-Japanese subject. Large numbers of
American citizens have been engaged In
showing how the terms of peace should be
arranged. But this man is the only one
who thought his views of enough impor-
lance to pay telegraph tolls on them. He
should not have wasted his money in that
way BY adopting the time onored sigma
ture of Justice" Peace" or PRO Bono
Publico." he could probably have secured
space for his delverances in a local news
paper, and thus had the pleasure of seeing
himself in print. which is all the pleasure
possible to a man of his disposition.

Since appendicitis became common, IL

has learned much about that queer little
twist of the anatomy that is the cause Of so
much trouble. An impression prevails that
It's chief function Is the collection of stray
particles of indigestible substances and the

ton. Grape seeds. apple seeds and other
hard bits have been cited in warning as
things to avoid in the eating process. But
science has never thought 1t worth while to
advise the world against depositing bullets
in the appendix. Perhaps the surgeons
thought that an appetite for missiles was
not likely to become common enough to
warrant the issue of a special bulletin.
However. a group OF New York hospital
physicians were greatly astonished to find q

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1905-04-26

The market forces of Wall street
appear willing to rest after nearly
year of strenuous endeaver to put up
the prices-an endeavOr which has
been attended with remarkable sue
cess. The average of prices of stocks
is now nearly as high as at the climax
of the grand bull movement in 1902,
and the situation is questiOnably
healthier and stronger. The indica-
tions are that the market leaders will
now be content to hold quotations
around current levels rather than
over-exert themselves to esta blish a
higher range at once. The natural
play will be to accustom the public to
the prices that now rule rather than
take the risk of still further make
up which might defeat general distri-
button of securities, which it is taken
for granted will be the ultimate pur-
pose of the rich wholesalers now I'M
der the great mass of bonds and
stocks.
Rich Men Big borrowers.
As matters now stand the rich men
are carrying the stock largely with
money borrowed from the people
banks. The enormous deposits in the
banks and trust companies find en-
ployment in this way. Ultimately the
bulk of the securities upon which the
vast sums have been borrowed will be
sold to the public and with the money
thus obtained the indebtedness will be
reduced. The position of the two ele-
ments will then be reversed. The rich
men will have the money and the pub
lie the stocks. The capital class on
Wall street is chiefly in the business
of manufacturing and selling securi-
ties to the public. 1t varies the pro-
gram sometimes by accommodating big
lines of goods already manufactured.
This has been notably the case during
the past year. So long as the skies
continue clear and nothing occurs to
shake general confidence wholesalers
are not likely to rush their goods up
on the market. There is nothing raw
ly disturbing in sight and uneasiness
as to the presidents purpose of fore
ing rate legislation next fall and win
ter seems to have Gained down. The
impression is growing that such legis-
lation as may be put through congress
will represent a compromise between

Words of warning of the dangers
apt to follow marriage of Jews with
non. Jews were spoken Sunday by DR..
Emil G. Hirsch in his sermon at Sinai

views of religious matters and of
other fundamental things of life, J"
the speaker said, constituted great OBJ
stacles. His subject was "M1xed Mar
riages. "
The present day tendency to disre-
gard parental advice was deplored and
the climax of the sermon was reached
when he said:
Sat the best, marriage ne yer is
smooth sailing, and when young per-
sons feel brave enough and strong
enough to follow when love has bridg~
ed a chasm caused by 1,500 years of
persecution of the Jews and do so in
the face of parental objections they
often find the way has bitterness worse
than agony. The Jews should guard
jealousy against the marriage of Jew
and ,'non-Jew, except in rare case
where true affinity, based on agree
ment in the fundamental things of life,
