Women in tuberculosis

What women have done in the last
four years In the campaign against
tuberculosis, is discussed in au In

National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis,

about thirty women's clubs. Today
SOC, 600 wemen under the Health De-

The Chanute Cement Plant

llS SildIlutS SS11leIlt Fld1lt.
Last Saturday we enjoyed a trip,
in Manager Bsa.ty's car, out to the
big cement plant, west of the city,
that is rapidly nearing completion.
Arriving al the site of the plant we
found very busy place. There
are groups of men all over the site
busy as bees getting the big plant
ready for fuR operation as speedily
as possible. II had been stated
that the old company left the plant
in almost a finished state. That
vas a great big mistake. 1t is true
that a vast amount of work had
been done and much machinery
placed, but the reorganized company
soon found that there was a great
deal of work to be done before the
plant was in shape to start.
About I4o men are at work out
there in the various departments
every day.
Machinery is being placed, gas
and water pipes laid, a new crushed
rock road built, the quarry opened
and new buildings crested and a
thousand and one things done be-
feTe a start can be made, all of
which take time and labor. We do
not know mueh about cement
plants in particular but do have a

National Economy.

Senator Aldrich declared not very
long ago that he could run the
national government as private
institution at an annual saving OF
S3oo, 600, ooo as compared with the
rresent cost. This would make a
biz hole in the appropriations of
cur billion-dollar congresses and
perhaps the figures are too high,
especially In view of the fact that
no charge is made that any OF this
huge discrepancy is stolea. Senator
Aldrieh meant that the methods
employed by the government are
wasteful and unbuSiness-like; that
they have not kept pace with the
business development aAd progress
of the times.
President Taft, however, Is max
ing big inroads upon this wasteful-
ness and many millions OF dollars
have been placed on the right side
of the lsager In consequence. The
vexing postoffice deficit has been
very materially reduced and saving
has been made along other lines thai
reflect credit upon the administration
An interesting side light is thrown
upon the character of the presidenti
appointments IN the fact that Col
leotor VIM. Loeb, Jr., in his annual
report shows where saving OF
$12. 600 has been made in the
collection of customs duties at the
New York port; through more
rigid system of inspections Money
collected is money saved under such
circumstances, and the elimination
of graf. and evasion Of obligations
on the part of importers and re-
turning tourists has been brought
about by the pressn, collector, who
seems 10 bs one of the mos valuable
.lsgaeies" bequestheA to the adj
ministratioA by Col. Roosevelt.
The showing made by Mr.. Loeb
would seem to bring ou'in'0 greater
prominence his qualifications fol

state, for New York Is in more
urgent need than the nation itself oi

Gaynor wOald be a campaign that

Going from Home for Study.

SStAiS AASA 1OiAiS ASl |tNG '
To most young persons the ac-
QUESTION of full university educat'
ion involves going from home. In
considering this aspect of the case
DR.. K. f. Judson, President of the
Chicago University, writes:
"The question whsther it is wise
to continue ones education al home
or to carry it on elsewhere is always
a very important one, and can never
be settled on the ground of general
principles. 1t is often wise, think,
for a young man to leave home for
these purposes, for a variety of
reasons. He meets new conditions;
he is thrown largely on his own
responsibility; he learns to cope with
circumstances as they arise without
relying upon constant home support
and advice. This should develop
manly qualities and strengthen the
character.
"Thers is another side to the
picture. Away from home the
temptations are relatively greater,
and it is easy for young man whose
character is not well formed to fall
into habits whieh are unfortunate,
or worse. After all, hswever, this
is true of all life throughout. One
must learn at an early age to
discriminate between the wise and
the unwise, the right and the wrong,
the sane and the silly. 1t is only
by this experience, and often by the
experience of many blunders, that
one comes to real streagth of
character.
"There is another consideration
which often makes it wise for
student to finish his school days
away from the home environment.
By going to distRhee, especially
by going to an institution which is
not altogether local, he is apt 10
measure himself against Others from
all parts of the country. He works
under new surroundings; he gets to
be less provincial; he finds out that
there are many things beyond his
narrow home horizon. He gets to
be more broadly tolerant. Under
all circumstances, however, the stu.
dent should carry with him frem
home certain hons ideals that
ought never to be lost. He is to
remember that right and wrong are
the same everywhere; and that the
clean and the unclean are the same
everywhere; aud that he esnnoi
afford, merely because he is away |

Chief Dead.

: James Hurley, general manager
of the Santa Fe system, died sud
denly in Europe, where he had gone
to get little relief from the worry
of his position. Mr.. Hurley had
climbed from the lewest rounds Of

hard working, reliable man and will

al know of another case in which

s2s acres were sold for an Indian
child and when all the claims were
paid the child got $3.50. In another
instance $500 was obtained for
200 acres but the child got only
$I2o. In other words the children
of deceased Indians in this state,
where are located one-third of all
the Indians In the United States,
are systematically being robbed of
their estates allotted them by the
government. The property is sold
at prices dictated by the land
robbers. The children are robbed
at both ends-at one end by their
guardians, and at ths other end by
the purchasers.
"Do you mean to say that such
things are countenanced by the
PROBATE GOuIt!
! eyes, they 60 on with the full
knowledge of the judges. Thousands
of acres of property thus are taken
from the Indians and thrown into
the hands of white people. The
Indians are getting poorer and the
land robbers richer"
Most of today's testimony was
given by witnesses for the defense.
J. F. McMurray, whose contracts
allowing him o per cent fee for the
sale of $3o, 900, 900 worth of Indian
land, caused the present investiga.
ton, sought to show that a large
percentage of the signers were still
in favor of his terms.
A dozsn Chickasaw Indians
testified thsy were willing to In
crease the fee If it would result in
the prompt sale of allotted lands
held in trust by the government.
Thss. B. Crews, an attorney of
St, Louis, testified he had contracts
with 700 freedmen or negroes who
claim Indian blood or claim 10 BIZ
defendants of former slaves of
Indians. These freedmea assert
they were wrongfully kept off the
citizenship rolls. On the basis of
his contracts Mr.. Crews said he
would be allowed a IS per cent
attorney fee. A citizenship right Is
estimated to be werth|$s, coo. The
700 claimants, If successful in
litigation, 1t was said, would acq zire
a claim on the government of about
So. 500, 600. The attorneys fee
involved would be 81, 226, 600 il
was estimated.
Mr.. Crews said he also had
contracts with about 100 negroes
who desire to take advantage of a
right to purchase 20 acres of land al
an appraised valuation in addition
to the 20 acres given them as freed
men. Under contract Crews is te
furnish the cash to purchase and
receive in return one-half the land.

Florence Nightingale.

The CANCEL of the Cr'mea" is
dead. In all reverence it may be
said that the highest earthly need of
praise is to be called an ''angel"
while still alive, and Florence
Nlghtingale's title to immortality Is
the fact that for a half a ceatury
she was known as an evangel of
sympathy and gentle ministration to
the dead and suffering in time of
war. Hers was vastly more than
the service Of the trained and
Int. lligent nurse, for there have
been thousands such, who have
given to the soldiers of their
countries the same devotion which
Florence Nightingale gave those
engaged in that deadly struggle
in the Crimean peninsula. 1t was
she whe caused the hospitals of the
English to cease to be shambles
whence more than SO per cent of
the wounded were carried cut to
their graves. Her surprising exc
eutivs ability, the incisive keenness
with which she perceived the weak
nesSes Of the system, the marvellous
"savior faire" which gave potency
10 hGr recommendations ese
counted for far more than even the
unremlttlng ardor with which she
threw herself into the work In hand
or the tireless devotion with which
she ministered to those who locked
upon her as a woman and called
her as an angel.
War is all Sherman said 1t was,
bat Miss Nightingale was one of
the very first to rob it Of some of its
more grisly terrors. Fighting and
slaying fellowmen is ever a brutal
and yolfish work and 1t requires
some of the spirit which animates
those who may rightly be called
suPsrhaman to keep the glamor
from rubbing off even the ncst
patriotic of such struggles. The
charge of the Light Brigade was
called by brilliant Frenchman
magnificent but not war. The
work of Florence Nightingale may
rightly be called botn war-llke and
magnificent. 1t could be performed
nowhere but on the field of battle
and in the words of pain and
suffering. 1t does not belong to
the fields of peace, but without il
would be even more than
Shermsh's designation.
FloreRae Nightingale fttingly de,
elined the honors and rewards
which were heaped upon her.
Nothing that kings o. nations could
do would exalt the splendor of her
achleveneAts nor could all the gold
that might have been laid az her
feet pay the debt that humanity
owed to her-and not only te her
but to all the other gentle, heroic
women who have followed or pre-
ceded her.

Question of Building Municipal

Especial TO The Herald Repu bltcan.)
Ephraim, Aug. 12.-At a meeting OF
the city council last evening il was
decided to call special election TO de-
eide the question Of bonding for a
waterworks system. r. Z. Caldwell.
the engineer. had previously submitted
his report to the council and the Off
GERS of the waterwOrKs company anS
suggested a plan whereby the i'm
prOVements can be procured immedi-
ately under the municipal ownership
plan.
After making a careful estimate, Mr..
Caldwell said that the cost OF building
the system with cast iron pipes viii
be $4,000; riVeted steel pipes. $4,000;
mended the use Of wood stave pipes.
These are said 10 be almost indestruc-
"a Bile, as at present manufactured, and
Will cut down the cost OF the system.
From this estimate. 1t appeared that
the city viii be able TO make the i'm
proVements without the necessity OF
floating bonds for the entire amount.
as the municipality is permitted by law
TO issue bonds for $4,000. and the COM
panies that supply the material Will
arrange a time payment plan for the
remainder.
This arrangement will also enable
the city 10 have the work done by
the property owners. II the plans do
not miscarry, script Will be paid TO

Will afterwards be redeemed in service

tion OF bonding.

DENIES INTENTION
TO BLOCK TRACKS
Union Pacific Official Says
Simon Bamberger Suffers
From BrainStorm.

Especial TO The Herald Republican,
Ogden. Aug. 12.-Speaking OF the
threats Of the Salt Lake & ogden rail-
way to bring suits against the Union
Pacific for interfering with traffic on
the salt Lake & ogden. w. NJ. LETTERS,
local superintendent of the Union
Pacific. today said:
MIR. Bamberger's charges are funny
at the very worst. He must be suf-
fering from a brain storm if he thinks
we would Intentionally interfere with
his traffic"
The trouble has grown out of many
long delays of the electric cars at the
Union Pacific crossing at Thirty-third
street by freight trains on the Union
Pacific. Mr.. Bamberger has charged
that the Union Pacific has purposely
stopped its cars at the crossing to
hold up the electric cars. Superin-
tendent LETTERS said today that the
trouble grew out of the fact that the
BambergeI crossing was too close to
the local freight yards. and that every
long freight train coming into town
must necessarily block the interurban
line until it could get right of way
signals. Recently the electric line was
blocked for several hours by a derailed
box car at the crossing. 1t was
charged that this also was intentional
on the part OF the Union Pacific. The
trouble Will probably be definitely set
tied by the completion of the over
head crossing now being constructed
by the Bamberger road. This will be
completed within two months.
