EXPRESS COMPANIES
LIABLE FOR LOSS

CHICAGO. Dec. THE Appellate
Court Of the First district here an
nounced a decision holding that an
express company is liable for the full
value of goods destroyed in transit
through the negligence Of the carrier,
rather than the arbitrary value of $50
placed on all express packages where
the value Is not specifically stated by
the shipper when the consignment is
made
The court found it's authority for
the ruling IN the Illinois statutes which
denies the carrier the right to limit
the common law liability by any
stipulation or Limitation expressed in
the receipt given for the goods TO be
transported. The case was appealed
by Rodman r. Ellison and others, OF
Philadelphia. Pa, against the Adams
Express Company. The ruling OF the
court sends the case back to the trial
court for a new trial.

TEACHERS HEAR
HEALTH HINTS
DR.. l. H. Quick Says 1t is no
Longer the Fashion to
Grow Old

Dr. Luther II. Gulick, chairman OF the
Playground Extension Committee, New
York City, was the speaker at the meet
ing Of the Primary Teachers Associa-
ton held in the High School Auditorium,
yesterday afternoon.
DIT. Gulick's subject was THE New At
titude Toward Health" In beginning
his address, he complimented Whining
ton and Superintendent Twitmyer on be-
ing among the first to discover re in
dividuality OF the child.
DR.. Gulick said the American people
had passed through the first two stages
of medicine, the curative and preven-
tive. There are no longer the bubonic,
yellow fever. and maiar.cl nestileneces
which had destroyed more people than
all the wars; cities are now ashamed
OF typhoid fever and look to their water
supply; tuberculosis is in process OF be-
ing extermlnated and probably would be
in this generation.
1--WE are now entering upon the con-
structive stage OF medicine he said.
and cited a case OF a well-known family;
the ancestors had been men OF robust
health and active, useful lives. The
present generation. without any disease
whatever, were so difficult In vitality that
they were continually hampered and I'M
able TO undertake work they wished to
do" We are now teaching people 10
keep their windows open, sleep out
doors, be clean, take regular exercise
good food. and form habits OF health
not merely preventing disease but max
ing people wholly instead OF half alive.
An the lectures on the subject are
comparatively unimportant--we all know
much more about being good than we
practice Teachers must make health
the fashion. The small boy must be
made to come to school clean until he
gets the habit Communities must hav.
customs 20 exist. but we must breai
away from the time-honored customs Of
our ancestors. such as sleeping will

NORTH'S> EXPLANATION
SAVES HIS POSITION
Director Of Census, IF Retained, Does Not Owe 1t to
Political Influence-Believed President Will
Not Veto Measure IF Passed

That the probability Of s. n. D.
North retaining his position OF Direc-
tor of the Census has arisen from his
own explanations OF his work in the
Census Bureau rather than from politi-
cal influence. is the information found
today in Administration circles.
On good authority It can be said that
ten days ago the President had almost
made up his mind to remove Mr.. North
from the Government service. Now,
however, as was stated in The Times
a few days ago, the probability of his
retaining him Is very strong.
The point of the difficulty has been
that the President was not so much
dissatisfied with what North had done
as he was with the Directors manner
Of doing if. This is taken to mean that
the Administration believed North
might have been more frank and ex-
hibited a greater desire to cooperate
with those above him than was the
case.
The tide turned in Norths favor
when he made his explanation last Sun
day night OF the manner In which he
had conducted the business of the
office. especially in regard TO contracts.
That the chance OF his staying In office
Is becoming brighter every day, is the
expressed belief of those who talk with
Mr.. Taft about the matter.
The Washington times., 1909-04-29

From equally reliable authority comes
the information that the President now
has no idea OF vetoing the census bill
II It passes the House and Senate. II
has come to be accepted as a fact that
the Director Of the Census. whoever he
may be. must. in the nature OF his
duties. be clothed with large powers.
This dispute was fought out in the
Roosevelt Administration, and. when it
was explained to Mr.. Roosevelt, he
saw that II was right. Mr.. Taft agrees
with his predecessor entirely IN the
matter
The talk of the Director of the Cen
sus being independent of the President
IS out of the question, for the Director
Is subject to removal by the President,
and, IL he should embark upon a course
distasteful to the Administration. he
could be handed his farewell papers on
short notice.
eBforo the taking OF the census was
made thing dependent entirely upon
the Director, the results were much less
satisfactory than they are now. When
1t was under the Secretary of the In
terror so that he paid all the hills and
salaries and the Director had 20 con-
suit with him on every matter. depart
mental red tape held up the ce-sus re-
suits III some cases for seven years.
This was. of course, not to be con-
tinued. and the problem was solved by
making the Director of the Census a
parsonage who had enough authority to
do the counting of people and resources
promptly,
