OUR OBLIGATIONS TO THE AT
FLICTED.

AS we have reached an era in life
when the fear Of disease is intense ana
the most contagious and most acute
diseases are daily exploited by the
press. it Is not strange that Governor
Lllley was impressed to call the at
tention Of the people to the cruel re-
suits Of these agitations and OF our
Obligation to a special class of inva-
lids. The Bulletin fully endorses the
statement made by Governor L1lley
when he said:
nAs a matter OF fact. all that We
have done, heretofore, we have done
from the most selfish Of motives. that
Of MISREPRESENTATION But there Is an
other side to the question. Because
OF our work, because OF our incessant
shouting about the contagiousness OF
the disease. the poor oonsumptive OF
Connecticut IS dropped from the pay
roll IN office or factory months before
his earning capacity ceases, and be-
Cause OF our work he receives every
year II not less Of love, at least less
OF that afectionate. tender attention
that he expected IN his last sad days.
we forbid his wife 70 kiss HIM We
warn bis children 70 avoid him. We
put him on public record as a danger
TO the community. We shrink from
him in public places and gatherings.
We advise hotels, hospitals, sanatoria,
and boarding houses to refuse him ad-
mission. We make an outcast OF him.
Tn simple Justice we owe him a
place Of refuge. We owe him q place
Of refuge whether we get our money
back or not II he we're a cat or
dog we would kill him. But he is our
brother--our sick brother. To preserve
our self-respeot we must give him
place Of refuge. That the children who
win grow up IN Connecticut IN the
coming years may not grow up utterly
selfish and hard Of heart, we must let
this campaign against tuberculosis go
no further until we have provided a
refuge for the poor consumptive whom
we have made an outcast."
Why are we alarming people about
disease instead Of teaching them the
laws OF life which are the laws Of
health? Our obligations are clear 70
Us now with reference to those our
methods have made pariahs, or out
casts. but why are we not obligated
10 one another to keep Gods earth
AAleA anu AAlG atmosphere pure anu
ourselves temperate?
EVIL and most Of the diseases Of life
are traceable direct TO ignorance. and
tntemperance IN It's manifold forms.
What the people need is wholesome in
struction in health rules not the excl
tation OF fear through the presentation
Of the danger Of contagious diseases,
many Of which are preventable lust by
eleanliness-a thing declared by every
standard doctors book in print.
The day is dawning when our meth
DDS with reference to disease win be
reversed, and the art Of keeping well
will be so firmly installed that the
fear Of being sick win be abolished.
Those we have wronged by our
methods should be given the succor
which Is asked for them.

Lsmon Fair.

Tho Morrisville Messenger asked:
will the geographer OF the St. Adams
Messenger who knows where Tyson
Furnace is located, perform the public
service Of locating and describing a
place in VERMONT called Lemon F'air?' +"
The geographer replied: 1T Is not a
place, 1t is a small stream. branch OF
the Otter creek, In Addison county, and
its name IS corruption of the words
'lamentable affair the exclamation Of
a good old dame in the pioneering days
who was a member OF a company that
sought to cross the river at certain
point and found it impossible" Had
the good oil dame lived in 1909 and had
the same experience she would have
exclaimed in the slang of the period:

THE PRICE OF ICE.

THE rapidly increasing and tremen-
dous demand for ice" says the New
Haven Palladium, makes II almost
necessary for something to be done
towards keeping down the price when
nature fails to provide the normal
crop which might be possible If the
matter were given a thorough and sci
entific study. II might be possible to
so reduce the cost of manufacturing
ice that 1t would take the place Of
the natural crop and be offered con-
sumers at q price more within the
reach of the modest pocketbook than
that which is asked for the natural
commodity in failing seasons. 1t would
be a great hardship upon every class
OF people to be compelled to have re-
peated IN the ice situation such price
fluctuations as have taken place in the
coal traffic. It is something to be
avoided and something worthy Of
careful study"
This is q popular topic which ap
peals to the people, but the price Of
ice does not fuctuate as much as the
price Of beef or of grain, and q thou
sand and one other things. Hasn't ice
cream been ten cents a plate for half
a century? The ice barons have never
yet knocked ice cream from its pedes-
tai, although It must be admitted that
they have at times seriously affected
the size OF the dab Of cream brought
on the plate. When ice gathering is
cheap and the crop large the icemen
have to make up their past losses;
and when It is dear they have to figure
to keep their customers and the Gus
toners all have to figure to get along
with half the usual amount Of ice. 1t
Is not easy to tell who has the worst
side Of the ice problem-the men who
sell or those who buy.

THE RULE OF TAXATION
As Disclosed to the Providence Eve
nina Tribune.

For the real estate holders there is
no escape under the elaborate, minute
and carefully systematized system Of
inquisitiou which has been developed
in the tax department for collecting,
tabulating and applying knowledge re-
garding this particular class of taxa
bic property 1t is property that can
not be kept from the eyes Of the as
SCISSORS, ana the assessors are not
leBient in assessing II.
They cannot be lenient In the case
Of real estate because the fact that
they discover so small q portion of
personal property makes II absolutely
necessary, in order to raise anywhere
near the amount Of money that is ex-
pRted of them, that in the case of
such property as they do discover they
shall show no mercy.
Tax the property you can see to the
limit IN order to make up for the
revenue you do not get from property
that escapes taxation because you can
not so readily see IL.
That seems TO be the rule.
And here are some examples:
There is a house and lot In a good
residence district on the East Side
which cost $1,000 nine ears ago. The
house has been deteriorating rather
rapidly because of poor construction.
The property Is mortgaged for $4,000
and il has been put upon the market
in vain at $500. It is assessed $4,000.
There is another piece Of residence
property in that same part OF the city
which was bought for $500 three
years ago and has ever since been
assessed $4,000. Sold too cheap. you
say? Wen. the purchaser, who made
an advance payment Of $500, tried hard
to get out of the bargain after he had
looked into 1t more carefully, but the

rest OF us has got to elope.
Weddings are awful expensive"
said Miss Hansen.
We'll. I'guess yes. In the first place.
all them kids had to be rugged out in
new clothes and then there was the
supper and the invitations and all that
truck. An they had to put new paper
on her mas bedroom 50 they could
have the presents up there. But
Gladys says the worst OF all was the
way her pa carried on. In the first
place he acted up something terrible
about having wedding, and when the
time come to get ready for the cere-
mony he vowed up and down ne would
MT put on a collar. He said he hadn't
had one on for twenty years and he
wasn't goin' to put it on for anybody's
wedding. Gladys says to me after
ward, she says: I wouldn't go through
what ma and me went through with
getting pa into that collar IL the dock
of Arabruzzy was to asst me to marry
him. she says"
But then there's the presents" de-
INJURED Miss Hansen. IF you don't
have a wedding you don't get any
presents. That's the only way you have
to get even with all the people you've
given presents to-"
That's so. But land O. goodnessl
You could buy everything you'd get
with what you'd save by not having a
wedding"

THE RuTToN eEcoMINe cLAssIc


The idea of having Yale buttons for
Yale men seems likely to be carried
out and to be well guarded against
heterogeneous by some who are not
true blue. 1t is a matter in which
college men themselves would observe
the proprieties. without any particular
restraint being enforced. The size of
a college, or the choice Of a college
color has never dictated college 10y
atty, nor win a college button. Would
a Yale man wear a Harvard badge?
No. Nor would a Harvard man mas
querade with a Yale button. And the
same principle holds true among the
alumni Of other colleges. Each is 10y
al to his own. The infrlngements
would come from the outsider.-An-
sonia Sentinel
But these infringements may be
guarded against by law. The state
OF Vermont has a law which makes an
impostor Of any citizen who shall wear
the Grand Army button or the symbol
Of any civic association, for
deceptive purpose and as a check
70 such dishonesty and false pretence
a fine Of fifty dollara is the limit. Of
course, there will be heterogeneous by
outsiders and negligence Of the button
by those who are entitled to wear it.
but who do not care for this special
kind Of distinction, not because It isn't
honorable but because these Identify
ing signs always have their draw
backs. If Yale men want to wear an
identifying badge there is nothing to
be said against it; and the Yale badge
and every other society badge should
be given the protection of law.

MANY ARE BOOKING
FOR H|LO TRIP

Much interest is being taken in the
big excursion to Hilo and the volcano
on July 4, and there will undoubtedly
be very large crowd of sightseers
to take in the events. The very at
tractive excursion rates offered by the
lnter-lsland S. S. Co. have been the
means of stirring up many people who
have had such trip in mind for some
time but needed just such an occasion
to make their decisions final.
Besides the brightly burning volcano
hres, the grand program arranged by
the Hilo Fourth of July Committee is
an attraction, and those who have not
seen the Big Island are very anxious
to make the trip. The scenery about
Hilo and on the way to Kilauea is very
beautiful and great deal more tropical
IN appearance than that of Oahu.
Hilo itself has many special atrac-
tions, such as the famous Rainbow
Fails, Cocoanut Island and big caves.

MACKENZIE GORDON To
BECOME 4 bENED|Ck

Mackenzie Gordon, the singer who
delighted Honolulu audiences a couple
of years ago and who made a host of
friends here, is to become a benedick.
His bride will be Ethel Coope, beau
tiful and accomplished heiress of Santa
Cruz. The announcement of the en-
gagement was made June 9 by Mrs
Bertha Coope, her mother. Miss Coope
is charming girl, the daughter of the
late f. j. Coope, a pioneer of the Santa
Cruz section several years ago. Mrs.
Coope and her daughter are now resid-
ing in San Francisco. Gordon is mem
Der of the Bohemian and Family clubs,
and is favorite among the clubmen
since his arrival from Scotland a few

take place in the summer.
The bride is the granddaughter of
F. W. Billing, wealthy resident OF
Santa Cruz, who was formerly a resi-
dent of Salt Lake City. He is painter
of some note.
