WHITE PLAGUE is
THE DEADLlEST SLAYER

The White Plague was the heav-
lest slayer during the year 1908 ac-
cording to statistics just issued by
the Prudential Life Insurance Com
pany. The toll exacted by the dread
disease far exceeded any other and
of 3,233 deaths among insured per-
sons more than 81 per cent was
caused by tubercular diseases.
Accidents rolled up II per cent,
with pneumonia having over seven
per cent. to it's credit. Cancer caus-
ed the death of nearly per cent. of
the insured while heart disease scor-
ed six per cent. and apoplexy over
five per cent. Typhoid fever claim
ed 81 per cent.
1t is interesting to note that an in.
significant percentage of deaths was
caused by alcoholism, a little over
one per cent. having been registered
from this cause. Out of the total
number of 3,233 deaths from all
causes but 35 were caused by over.
indulgence in intoxicants. The dread
tubercular diseases are triumphantly
at the top and the combating of this
grim harvester seems to be a field
calling for the energies of all those
who would really benefit humanity.

TAFT AND BRYAN
Do Not Hesitate to Exhibit Their
Natural Trait of Common Sense,


The following is an extract from
an address by President-elect VIII
liam H. Taft, recently delivered, on
the subject Of -Four Aspects of Civ
ic Duty:
Nothing is more foolish, nothing
more utterly at variance with sound
policy, than to enact law, which, by
community, is incapable of enforce
ment. SUCH INSTANCES ARE
SOMETIMES PRESENTED BY
SUMPTUARY LAWS, by which the
sale of intoxicating liquors is prohibi-
ted under penalties in localities
where the public sentiment of the
immediate community DOES NOT
AND WILL NOT SUSTAIN THE EN-
FORCEMENT OF THE LAW. In such
cases the legislation usually is the
result of agitation by the people in
the country districts, who are deter
mined to make their fellow citizens
in the city better The enactment of
the law comes through the country
representatives, who form a major

pie who are generally opposed to its
enactment, AND UNDER SUCH
CIRCUMSTANCES THE LAW is A
DEAD LETTER. THE CONSTANT
VIOLATION OR NEGLECT OF ANY
LAW LEADS TO A DEMORALIZA
TION OF ALL LAWS"
The only vote ever cast by William
u Bryan on the question of prohibi'
tion WAS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF
LICENSE and was cast in his home
city at an election which involved
the question of the regulated saloon

When taken to task by the Prohi
bitionists for his vote in favor of Ii
eense, Mr.. Bryan explained that he
80 voted, as he believed, FOR THE
BEST INTERESTS OF THE COM
MUNITY IN WHICH HE LIVED, and
he believed the matter was a local
question. He added, however, that

MILLERSBURG.

Millersburg, April A. - The question
among educators in Ohio is: "Who is
the oldest teacher in the state?" This
does not mean the Oldest in point of
years, but in point of constant service
from year to year. w. M. Burklew, of
this place, is GO years OF age and has
been a teacher constantly for 4S years,
the last q of which has been in one
grade in the Mllersburg schools, where
he is yet teaching. Can this record be
beaten? If so, let us hear of It.

March 1S.-The lat est developments In the school ques- ton which has caused so much unrest in this little French colony for the past few months, is the forwarding of a petition to the French government for permission to open preliminary school here without limitation upon the age of the pupils.
 Superior class" school has already been authorized. but no child under 10 years of age, will be admitted unless he has a certificate showing that he has already had certain amount of schooling.

 The tariff was charged with the slow demand in business at Fall River and pending readjustment of duties at Washington, which would indirectly have a depressing effect in raw cotton without friends at this level and there was more or less investment buying in evidence.

 Further sales of cotton goods to China are being made in moderate quantities. the mid-afternoon reports showing a total of about 11.000 bales sold and others pending. Prices are on 6-sc for s25 yard sheetings. and a slightly shaded figure for 3.25-yard drills. The business has been of general character and if present prices are maintained for a time It Is believed that further orders will come forward This business has been anticipated, and II is believed to result from the open ing of the up-country navigation in Manchuria and the normal demand for The purchasing power of Manchuria for cotton goods from this country is be- lieved here to be better than for some time past, but no very high hopes are being entertained by those who are best posted of selling anything beyond during the next four 1. five months Prices are necessarily close as compe- tition Is keen from Manchester on any. thing that can be made there."
