Sanitation of,Small Towns.

We haer much of the reduction in
the death rate of large cities in recent
years, but very little about the i'm
provement of health of small towns.
1t is we'll known that all the infec-
tious diseases claim many less VIC
tins in city life than they did TWEEN
ty-five years ago, and the reason for
it is not far to seek. Cities estab-
lished departments of health, gave
to them ample powers, and then in
sisted on their being effective If their
appropriations were to be continued.
The consequence has been that not
only has much suffering been spared,
but thousands-nay, even hundreds
of thousands--of people are now alive
who would have been dead il the
death rate that prevailed twenty years
ago still obtained. Had they died thei
death would have been considered as
from the hand of God. We know
that their living is the result of the
taking of some very simple meas
ures for the prevention of disease.

WILSON IS TO LEAD
The Republican Forces of
Kentucky
ON STATE TICKET NOMINATED
Fierce Fight of Taft and Fair
banks Men Ended in De-
feat of Former.

Louisville, KY, June 19.-After a
bitter wrangle, which lasted for hours
in the room of the Resolutions Com
mittee, the Republicans of Kentucky
in State convention tonight adopted
a platform commencing the Admins
tration of President Roosevelt and
his policies, but refused point blank
to indorse Secretary of War w. H.
Taft for the Presidency. 1t did, how
ever, commit the Republicans of the
State to the support of man for
President in sympathy with the Pres
ident's policies The delegates voted
to accept. this as we'll as the other
planks on the platform without dis
senting voice, and Immediately after
ward nominated Augustus e. Will
son, of Louisville, for Governor by ac-
clamation, every delegate from the 11s
counties voting for the Fifth District
man. Standing beneath huge paint
ing of the President Judge George Du-
relle, the Chairman of the Resolutions
Committee, read the platform which
had been framed at the end of long
fight The first plank in the platform
read:
I'VE approve the ability, integrity
and courage of President Roosevelt
and his administration, and without
expressing preference for any candi'
date, favor the election by the next
national convention for President Of
one in full accord with the Presidents
policies, and who will energetically
carry them ont in the interest of al
the people,
/ The plank meant defeat for those
who had insisted that Secretary Taft
be called by name and Endorsed. II
was a defeat for the Louisville fus
! ionists and a victory for the "olC
line" Republicans, but the sting o
the defeat was taken away by the in
dorsement "of one In full accord will
the Presidents policies" Many men
bers of the Resolution Committee dix
not want the Presidential race referr
er to in the platform, but Judge Du
relle and Judge A. r. Burnam, o
Richmond, made long and final!

The Call to the Ministry.

An elderly woman now living in the
West, formerly a resident of Aliens
town, Pa, not long ago visited her
relatives in that town. She was es-
pecially interested in the progress of
a nephew who had entered the minis
try. She had not seen him since his
boyhood, and was, therefore, anxious
to attend service at his church.
At dinner, subsequent to the Sun
day sermon she heard delivered by he
nephew, it was observed that the old
woman was singularly reticent
Suddenly she broke her long silence
by asking her nephew: Frank, why
did you enter the ministry"
why, aunt" exclaimed the young
divine. What a question! l enter
ed the ministry because was called. y
Just a suspicion of smile came to
the old womans face, as she respond

successful fight to draft the plank as
it was adopted. The platform was
much shorter than previous declara-
tions of Republican party principles
in Kentucky.
While the nomination of A. E. Will
son as the Republican candidate for
Governor was made by reclamation,
this does not signify that all was
sweet harmony. 1t was all that Brad
ley, Wilson, Holt, Durelle and others
could do to keep trouble down. In
nominations for minor offices there
were two or three contests, which en-
livened matters to a considerable ex-
tent. 1t was after 2 o'clock this
morning when the last candidate was
nominated and the convention adj
journed.

of Louisville.

made in the house, and entrusted 1t

ed to receive the note and this
brought about the meeting. The weap-
ons were rifles and the distance about
ninety yards. Graves rifle took

Political antagonism between David
C. Broderick, United States Senator
from California, and David S. Terry,
chief justice of the supreme court Of
the same State, brought about a duel
which resulted fatally to Broderick.
The meeting occurred near San Fran
cisco on the 18th day of September,
1859. The immediate cause of the duel
was a speech made by Judge Terry
in which he called Broderick an arch
traitor. Pistols were used at ten
PAGES and Broderick fell at the first
shot. He lived in great agony until
the 18th of September. The first meet
ing was prevented by the police, but
secret meeting was arranged for
the next day. Notwithstanding the
great secrecy, more than eighty peo-
pie witnessed the encounter, and
general fight, melted by the actions
of the owner of the ranch upon which
the duel took place, was narrowly
averted by the friends of Broderick.

Brief mention may be made of one
or two other duels of comparatively
minor Importance.
Henry Clay fought two duels, the
first with Humphrey Marshall in 1908,
in which both were wounded at the
first fire, and the second with John
Randolph, in 1926, in which neither
was wounded Randolph went to the
meeting place with the determination
not to return Clay's fire, and when
Clay had fired without effect, he dis
charged his pistol in the air. Clay
approached Randolph and said, with
emotion: 81 trust in God, my dear
sir, you are untouched; after what
has occurred ! would not have harmed
you for a thousand worlds" Both
duels were the result of personal re-
marks made during political debates
and Clay was the challenger in both
instances.
