SENATOR RAYNER
SCORES ZELAYA
AS A CRIMINAL

martial can Justify 1t. These men, as l
have shown, were prisoners of war. and
they were not subject to trial by court
martial"
Senator Rayner asserted that Zelaya's
only anxiety would be lest he lose "the
money he had stolen" that he would
rather lose his head than his money"
The senator declared that If Zelaya
could not obtain fair trial in Mica
ragua in the event of insurgent success
in that country, he might well be
brought to the United States and tried
for murder in this country before jury
of American citizens and under the Grim
inal laws of the land. The Senator said
he would later present line of prece-
dents predicating legality for such an
action. He quoted President Pierce in
message to Congress In 1855 on the SUBJ
ject of recognizing governments set UP
by successful revolutionists, and cited
Daniel Webster who, as Secretary of
State in 1S41. defined the rights of
American citizens enlisted under the flag
of a foreign country.
Right and Wrong.
IF Zelaya had the right the senator
continued, ito sentence these men to
death and execute them in cold blood,
then we must acknowledge that right and
recognize IL DeIOfo the nations OIL tn6
world. If he did not have that right, no
matter how petty and Insignificant he
may be in the eyes of diplomacy. or upon
sthc sphere of the worlds action; no mat
ter how trivial and unimportant a station
his government may occupy, this govern
ment is his accuser, and If he is guilty
he must be awarded the doom and fate
that he deserves, SO that every tyrant ON
this earth in every nationality under the
sun, and in every government, large or
small and especially these dictators in
several of these Central American states,
who have received every favor and con-
sideration at the hands of the United
States. and to whom has been extended
the official hospitality Of our land, and
who in return therefor ,o~e exhibited to
us at times the bitterest AIRED and WIS.,
tied upon our citizens the most cruel
indignities and outrases, shall be told
once and forever that our flag follows our
citizens wherever they go, and that when
an assassination like this occurs the
other culprit at the bar of criminal JUS
tice and must answer for the deed with
his liberty or his life"
The resolution which he offered was not
declaration of war, said Senator Ray
ner. The guilt for what he characterized
as "a great crime against the rights of
American citizenship did not rest upon
the people of Nicaragua, he said, but
upon the dictator of Nicaragua. The
resolution was directed against President
Zelaya individually. He desired that his
resolution be considered as a separate
proposition from any action that might
be taken with reference to the state Of
government existing in Nicaragua.

HISTORICAL ACCURACY.

The New York Times on August % of this year,
discussing the propriety of the state of Vermont
participating in the celebration of unwilling
ument to the memory of Joseph Smith, the founder
of the Mormon church. in the town of his birth, in
cidentally remarks that President Roosevelt, when
on his western trip delivered address in the Nor
temple at Salt Lake City. Of course he did
not, but the Times says he did.
In the same editorial, the Times asserts that Jo-
seph Smith and his brother Hyrum were killed by
mob in Carthage, Ohio.
The Salt Lake Herald Republican, on Novem-
Der s. reported the address of B. S. Hinckley in the
tabernacle on the day before Mr. Hinckley gave
sketch of the life of Joseph Smith, in the Herald
Republican report of which occurs this sentence:
"He briefly reviewed the movement of the mem
bers of the church to Kirkland, O., Jefferson coun-
ty, Missouri, and then to Nauvoo, where Joseph
Smith and his brother were killed"
The Salt Lake Herald-Republican, on November
IA, in telling of the recent birthday anniversary of
Joseph F. Smith, says: "When the present head of
the church was five years DID, his father and uncle
Hyrum and Joseph Smith, were killed in Car
thage, Mo-"
Carthage, Ohio; Nauvoo, and Carthage, Mo. In
the interest of historical accuracy we should like
to know which of these statements is correct!

FIGHTING CONSUMPTION.

a bulletin issued by the United States census
bureau last week from the division of vital Stats
tics, indicates that the fight against the great white
plague IS having its effects in a decreased death
rate from this disease. The bulletin is based on the
annual returns of deaths from the death registra-
ton area of the country, and indicates decline in
the death rate from consumption in all but three
states-Coorado, Rhode Island and Vermont
There were 1929 deaths in 1908 from all forms Of
tuberculosis figure somewhat larger than that
reported IN any previous year, but the death rate
per 100000 was only 1879, as compared with
1885 IN 1907. A resume of the bulletin says:
In the registration area of the United States
during the year 1908, 800 out of every 100 deaths
OF occupied males between the ages of 90 and "a
years. were caused by tuberculosis of the lungs or
nearly one death out of every three. Durinp tho
same period 41.9 per cent bookkeepers. clerks and
copy1sts 401 per cent of BARRIERS and hair dresser
4O9 per cent of the servants, Al per cent Of the
boot and shoe makers, 1872 per cent of the com
posltors printers and pressmen AS per cent Of the
tailors and 256 per cent of the farmers who died in
the registration during 1908 were victims Of
pulmonary tuberculosis"
These figures indicate that mortality among
the printers, 1872 per cent, is the largest of anv
trade or occupation, yet is probable that no craft
has done more to care for its members who bav.

There is really nothing in the printing business
which should predispose printers to CONSUMPTION
and the large percentage of victims is Indicative Of
nothing else than insanitary conditions abont their
places of employment, and refusal on the nrir+srs
part to observe the ordinary rules of health

OF Graduating the disease has created q storm Of
protest from some of the southern newspapers and
from some southern people, who profess to see in
the gift an attempt upon the part of the oil mag

OF charity By some the gift is denounced as an
insult to the south and its sturdy manhood and
chaste womanhood, which should be flung back into
the teeth of the gver with the assurance that the
south can care for itself, hoolworm and all.
We see no reason for this attitude. however The
hookworm is of comparatively recent discovery its

Inauguration Of Passenger Service
On the Franklin & CIearfieId Has
Been Postponed For Two Weeks
rouble In Changing Many
Schedules Given as the
Reason for Delay.

C. The New York Central officials are
not able to say when the through pas
senger trains will start. 1t may be a
week or ten days or two weeks. One
thing sure, it will be soon. The delay
has been caused by. the work incident
to rearranging the schedules OF the
various roads over which the trains
will pass. The first passenger train
will leave Chicago in the morning,
arriving here in the evening.
The character of the passenger SER
vice between Chicago in the west and
New York and Philadelphia IN the
east was the subject of considerable
discussion by the New York Central
officials when General Miller was there.
1t is practically certain that there will
be two trains each way each day, and
there will be daylight and night train
each way each day for Franklin people.
One eastbound train, for instance, is
expected to leave Chicago at 1925 in
the morning and arrive here at 7.30
In the evening. 1t is likely that local
passenger trains will be put on the new
road before the through trains start

Opportunity For
Young Women
Philadelphia School for Nurses
Offers Free Scholarships
To Students.

Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly
Love, has an exhibition of practical
benevOlence in the work Of the Phila-
delphia School for Nurses which is of
SURPRISING interest to every one inter-
ested in the care of the sick, the educa-
tion of nurses and the promotion of pub
lie health and sanitation.
The annual report showed that dur
ing the past year ten thousand, two
hundred and seventy-five patients were
supplied with nurses, who otherwise
could not have secured skilled nursing
care. Four.ffths OF this service was
rendered gratuitOusly. 1t was shown
also that in teaching facilities, available
workers and number of students, the
school ranks as the largest school for
nurses In the world.
Several large classes of students are
enrolled in the Philadelphia School for
Nurses, who will, doubtless, witness the
extension of the work of the institution
in accordance with plans now develop
ing. A large number Of free two year
scholarships are available to the young
women living throughout the entire
country, preference being given to
those from the smaller cities and the
rural districts. These scholarships in
clude room, board, laundering, uni.
forms, all necessary instruction and

A preparatory Home Study Course and

pare themselves for self-support, but
are unable to devote two years to study.

Ginseng Culture
Near ReynoIdsviIIe
Interesting Experiment Is Now
Being Made By Several
Home Parties,

In recent years much has been writ
ten OF the possibilities for profit in the
cultivation of ginseng, the roots OF
which seem to be in unlimited demand
for medicinal purposes. At three farms
in Washington, Pine Creek and Knox
townships experiments on large scale
are now being made to test the truth Of
these statements, and upon the results
may depend the establishment of new
and important industry In the county.
One OF the largest Of these pioneer
ginseng farms is located near Pardus,
at the home OF George B. Shindledeck-
er, and is the joint property Of Mr..
'Shindledecker and John A. Welsh, Of
Reynoldsville. 1t was the privilege Of
q reporter OF THE STAR and friend to
visit the place one day the past week
and inspect the methods in use.
A space about half the size of a town
lot is now under cultivation, every part
of which is surrounded by high and
close picket fence and entirely covered
overhead by close wooden lattice work,
so that the plants beneath are always
shaded and all other conditions are
made to conform as closely as possible
to the natural habitat of the plant when
it grows wild in the shady forest. For
convenience the ground within this en-
closure is arranged into oblong beds,
flanked by boards. The plants are us
ually started from the seed aud it re-
'quires about eighteen months for the
little rock-like seeds to germinate.
When the plants are large enough to
handle they are planted closely together
in the beds mentioned above and the
soil In which they thrive best seems to
be the natural loan secured from the
woods 1t requires five years for a
root to reach full size, during which
time the only care required is the reg
ular wedding and watering of the bed.
But while no profit is realized from the
roots In less than five years, the plants
each year bear quantity Of small red
berries, containing seed, and there is
always demand for the seed at remun-
erative prices.
The test In this case has not yet gone
far enough to absolutely guarantee per-
manent success, but 80 far the expert
ment has resulted so satisfactorily to
all concerned that the owners are now
planning to enlarge their beds and
greatly increase their annual output of
the root.
