OF WORK
HERE

That there is an abundance Of
work Of several kinds to be had
at the present time, which idle
workingmen with little money to
tide them over the cold winter
months are refusing to take, is an
assertion made by several Of the
city employment agents. Both at
the Y. M. G. A. and at the other
employment agencies 1t is claimed
to be difficult to get men to fill
fruit picking and farm jobs, which
afford neat compensation.

TAFT, Tex, Sept. 29.-President
VIM. H. Taft is going to take a
half-million- dollar vacation here on
Brother Charley-the best brother
in history.
And he's going to hunt bobcats!
Honest he is. Charley P. Taft
says so, and he is making all the
arrangements. It's going to be
just like strenuous Teddy.
And that half-million- dollar vaca.
tion--a vacation to last just four
days!
These two things-which loom
up as the biggest events of the
presidents great Swing around
the circle"-have made Texas and
the southwest take off their hats
to the presidents brother. Big
Bill will arrive October 16.
The things Charles P. Taft Is do
ing for the presidents vacation
will cost 100000.
This town of Taft. little breez'
famed cluster of houses, is one of
four that mark different parts of
the 400,000-acre Taft ranch, which
Brother Charles father-in-law, the
late David Sinton of Cincinnati, &C
Quired when Texas land was ex-
pensive at 81 an acre. Now 1t Is
worth from $40 to SIS an acre.
When the route of the president
was laid out, he wanted to stop and
rest at his brothers ranch. People
didn't know there was such a
ranch until then. In fact, Charles
FTaft didn't pay particular per
sonal attention to the ranch until
few months ago. The ranch had
been making money-lots of it

look things over.

paper largely favored the placing of
the removal power IN the governors
hands. Sitting as a judge of evidence
the men who are sufficiently intelligent
and honest to be elected governors Of
Iowa would it may be believed have
given an honest and impartial verdict.
The main difficulty to the minds of
certain persons was that the verdict
would be quickly forthcoming. II
would not await the delays of courts
and the doublings and twistings of at
torneys whose dependence is in delay.
With the attorney general in charge
of the prosecution and the governor to
give a hearing the case would come up
and be, decided and something be do

THE COUNTY WEEKLY.

| 1t is q pleasure and delight to stack
a blneh of perhaps ESQ Iowa weekly
newspapers son a table and run over
| them rapidly and with an eye to what
what the needs Of the locality are as
these editors see 1t, the general view
of the county newspaper upon the
world, the state, the county, the flesh
and the devil 1t is all there in many
of these papers, most of 1T crisp. SEN
sibl,s and to the point. The weekly
newspaper worth dollar and half a
year Is simply a weekly expression OF
the community it serves. 1t is good
to read over rapidly 1t brings the man
who reads it in the altogether closer
to the pulse of the farms and country
towns than he can get in any other
way.
1t Is astonishing to note the i'm
provement In matter of makeup and
scope Of the weekly paper during the
last decade. 1t has grown and In its
growth attained to independence, men
tai as financial. 1t says things openly.
that is the real paper does. Some there
steps are planted always with the de-
sire in mind that nothing nor nobody
must be disturbed and in the hope Of
postoffices and other preferments and
emoluments. But the average good
weekly not only gets the news nova
days, but speaks out in meeting. So It
is pleasure and a profit to scan them
week after week
Some easily alarmed persons predict
ed failure of the weekly when the mail
routes were established. The daily was
to wipe it off the face of the earth. But
the reverse has been true. The weekly
has grown in circulation and influence
as the daily came into it's field. The
demand for a better paper has been
met. The reader has found that he
needs both. The local paper has turned
to to local news as Its peculiar field,
q field that no daily paper can ever
operate to- destroy. and has grown as
it deserved. The daily has also grown.
1t Drinks the great news Of the world,
the market reports and the larger hap
penings of the state fresh off the tel
egraph and telephone wires. But when
all Is done and over, the real estate
transfers in the local weekly will have
interest long after the excitement of a
negro outrage at Ottumwa has sub
sided.
The T.-R. wishes to voice it's appre-
cialion of and the advantage it gains
from the weekly newspaper. When the
perhaps 400 weeklies that come to its
exchange table are gathered together
they constitute a complete history of
the state. 1t is a mirror Of Iowa in
which is seen the horror of crime and
John Jones peacefully painting his
barn.
In conclusion, the weekly papers Of
Iowa are exceptionally good compared
with those of any other state. They are
made by a strong and capable class of
most excellent citizens and fill the bill
Of specifications.

THE WAlTE PLAGUE VICTIMS.

A census report on the deaths in the
registration district during 1907 show
that over one fourth (1S3,T74, or 26.S
per cent) of the deaths were of chill
dren under 5 years of age. Nearly one
fifth (131 lilo, or 1871 per cent? of the
total number of deaths were of infants
under 1 year Of age; 1t is gratifying.
however, to know that the proportion
of deaths at this early age period of
life was less in 1907 than in 1906. For
youth and early manhood and woman
one third 1882 per cent? of all the
deaths were due to tuberculosis in some
of it's forms, and about one-sixth GIGS
per cent? were the result of violence,
For mature manhood and womanhood
$50 to A years of age) these two
causes were most fatal. altho the pro-
portions of deaths were somewhat
lower, being 25.6 per cent for tubercu-
losis and 1871 per cent for violence. For
the perior from 45 to 50 years heart
dis outranked every other cause of
death, being responsible for one
eighth (12.5 per cent? of the deaths,
while tuberculosis ranked second, with
121 per cent Note that consump-
ton came first except between the ages
of As and 50 and second in that period.
The total number of deaths reported
from all forms of suberculosis for the
year 1907 was 1860, an increase Of
1,13s over the number reported for
1906. When allowance is made for the
increase in population, however, the
death rate declined slightly, falling
from 1912 per 100000 in 1906 to
1885 in 1907.
Nine of the fifteen registration states
had decreased rates In 1907 as COM
pared with 1906 The highest rates for
1907 were those for Colorado (2s9.N,
California (27S.9), Rhode Island (200.9)
and Maryland (200.2-; while the lowest
rates were for Michigan (103.5) and
South Dakota (105.1). In California no
less than Is per cent of all deaths oc-
curing during 1907 were from tuber-
culosis; in Colorado the proportion was
even greater (16.4 per cent?. These
states, however, are credited with more
than their just proportions of deaths
from tuberculosis, since many persons
suffering from this disease so to these
states in search of health, and when
they die there their deaths are re-
ported for these states rather than for
the states from which they came. The
high rate for Rhode Island probably is
the result of the dense and largely ur-
ban population, while that for Mary
land is oausel by the large number of
colored inhabitants, among which class
tuberculosis is particularly prevalent
and fatal.
The largest cities with highest rates
were Denver, Colo, (4S66); New Or
leans, La, 1922; Newark, n. J., (291.s)

some loved one from death. 1t Is
true that some of the "ethics" of the
profession seem very nonsenscal to a
business man, but that is no reason
for attempting to hamper them by
absurd restrictions. The latest move
is to abolish the state board of health
and delegate its authority to local
boards. Practically every epidemic
of any consequence in this state of late
years has been caused by the refusal
or failure of local boards to enforce
the state regulations in time If each
locality were allowed to make its own
health laws 1t would not he long UNI
til we would again have epidemics of

asses which are now hardly ever
