The ship subsidy people are quite
right in saying that the foreign lines
exert powerful influence against any
movement TO restore the American
merchant marine. Naturally, they
wsuld not like to see the three hum
bred millions year which our over
seas commerce pays them in freigh =
transferred to vessels flying the Stars
and Stripes.
But the ship subsidy people must
not imagine that the foreign lines have
anything to do with tho very strong
/ opposition of this country to the ship
subsidy program. The American peo-
pie, like the New York Press, are very
| anxious to have our merchant marine
/ first revived and then permanently
| flourishing; they are eager to see the
three hundred million OF freight
moneys a year going TO American in
stead of to British, German, and other
foreign bottoms. But the ship subsidy
scheme OF taking cash out Of the Unit-
ed States Treasury and pnttlng 1t into
the pockets Of few Of eur ship .owners
will not restore our merchant marine
to It's glories of the past; it will not
shift the three hundred millions OF
freight payments on our international
trade from the foreigners now taking
that huge sum annually to fleets Of
Yankee merchantmen. 1t will mere
ly put the few owners who get the sub
sidy moneys ION easy street. :"
A program that will direct our COM
merce into Am erican bottoms, as with
our internal and coastwi-e shipping,
will surely restore our merchant ma
rine and will give interests Of our own
the hundreds of millions Of freight
moneys which now go to foreigners.
A program that will offer the same
opening to all American vessels TO
! carry our overseas commerce. A ma
tional policy that will force business
into all American bottoms. There Is
nothing like that in the present pre-
grsm That tchme il TO take public
funds out of the Treasury and pour
them into the pockets of favored few.
The voters of the United States have no
sympathy with this attempted grab.
They will have no patience with mem-
bers Of Congress who legislate private
hands into the vaults of the Treasury.

REARDON'S 'SOPIN|ON OF REARDON
DE MORTUIS NIL NISI BO-
NUM-.
That Is to Say I'm Other Words and in
Plain English Health Officer Rear
don Has Broke His MOlasses jug

A special meeting of the city Board
of Health was held Saturday evening.
Mr.. E. 1. Reardon rendered his resig-
nation as secretary and health officer.
DR.. Frank K. Holman and DR.. Edwin
II. Wilson, whose terms of Office as
members of the board do not expire
for two and one years respectively
announced that they would imme- =
diately tender their designations tc
the city council which meets tomor-
row night.
The terms of Mr.. Isaac Schwartz
and DR.. f. S. Booth have expired, Mr..
II. X. Wilder a former member of the
board Is serving on the city council.
At the last meeting Of council pr. c..
p. Osteen and Messrs. j. r. Ligon
and r. ID. Epps were appointed by
Mayor Jennings to take the places Of
Messrs. Wilder, Booth and Schwartz
Two new members will have to be ap-
pointed.
Upon motion of DR.. E. r. Wilson,
Mr.. Reardon's resignation as secre-
tary and health officer was accepted,
with the understanding that he con-
tinue to serve until his successor is
elected.
DR.. Wilson offered the following
resolution which was adopted unani-
mously and ordered published:
Whereas. Health officer e. l. Rear
don has rendered his resignation to
this Board of Health to take effect
June 27th. 1910:
BE 1t Resolved. That his resignation
Is received with regret by this
board, and that we wish TO take this
opportunity of expressing our appre-
citation Of his services and his devo-
tion to duty, and we have pleasure in
saying that his services have been
most satisfactory in every way and
that he has made very capable and
efficient sanitary official.
We further have pleasure i'm rec
ommending Mr.. Reardon to any de-
partment of health as a man well
versed in sanitary hygiene and well
qualified to fill the position of health
officer in any city.
Immediately after the meeting was
called To order the health officer ask
ed for the privilege OF the floor, and
said:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen Of the
Sumter Board Of Health:
j desire 10 tender you my resigna-
tion as secretary and health officer to
take effect June 27th, when this
board retircs from office. In sevcring

|iai iHleliSeHce ana aDlllty depends
to no small extent the suppression of
epidemic and other diseases and the
lowering of the death rate. That Of
ficer can. if he be intelligent and
posted in regard to the origin Of dis
eases, the quickest and most econo-
mical methods Of eradicating dis
ease, If he be a close student Of bac-
teriology and the other intricate de-
tails of sanitary science and more
particularly of that important branch
of sanitary science known as public
hygiene, he may do lots of good by
being able to point out how to avoid
danger to the many from the ignor-
ance and Indifference of the few.
I But unless the health officer is
supported by every individual and in
dividual interest shown by the citizens
not even he can do all that may be
accomplished. But if a health officer
is not Intellectually qualified by edu-
cation and ability to absorb scientific
information and to appreciate the
Importance of following up the small
er or minute details which oftener
than otherwise are the most impor-
tant in sanitary work, then the ignor-
ance Of that official may result in the
recurrence Of the disease in family
or possibly even in an epidemic.
Sumter has passed the stage when
training school for a health officer
might be established. This city is too
large to experiment with an untrain-
ed and unlearned health officer. I
therefore, as a citizen, and one who
ought to know, unhesitatingly ex-
press the hope that my successor will
be selected with due regard to his
present knowledge of hygiene, his
past experience as an official Of this
Kind, or his knowledge as a physician
rather than the selection of an un-
trained layman who is willing to ac-
cept a large salary to learn, or who
merely has intelligence to tell wheth-
er lot looks clean.
Sumter is large enough and can
afford to have a trained health Off
Ger or physician to hold that job
Sixteen years ago I started in as an
inexperienced layman at $40 a month
had to work hard and to study a.
great deal before l received the $50
month which I now receive. And
would not continue to do the same
work for $50 a month which I have
only received for two years.
1t is not only a risk to employ an
unframed man for health officer for
the same reason that it is unwise to
employ an unskilled man in any re-
sponsible place beyond his ability, but
also because health and life are too
precious to be risked while an un-
trined man is being educated. Medi-
cal colleges and training schools for
nurses do not send out ignorant or
unequipped physicians and trained
nurses. And State laws require that
physicians, nurses and pharmacists
must pass examination before prac-
ticing or administering to the sick
