We extend a cordial welcome
to the delegates to the State con-
vention of the Baptist Young
Peoples'Union of America, which
convened here yesterday in the
First Baptist church. The object
of this organization is to carry
on educational work for the pur-
pose of training young people for
efficiency in Christian work. 1t
was organized in Chicago in
1891, and its headquarters are
still there. Its membership num-
bered 100000 in 1908. 1t is in
ternational in it's scope including
all the provinces of Canada as
well as the States of the Union.
The delegates will find anything
they desire in Lancaster and if
they don't see what they want
all they have to do is just to ask
for it.

Let the work of road building
and bridge construction continue.
But some one will say, it is cost
ing too much and will bankrupt
the county. Now if you don't
know such to be the case don't
say so. We don't think we have
ever heard of county being
bankrupted by it's officials i'm
proving it's roads and bridges.
Of course it takes money to do
these things and we must some
times submit to being taxed
heavily, but it is a good invest
ment in the end. There has
been a vast improvement in the
roads under the present system
of working them and the new
concrete bridges already put in
are there to stay and with no re-
pairs to be made. Let the good
work go on.

Of expulsion in cases of disobedience,

Is the sense of the Board that the eff

frequent interference on the part of the
patrons with the discipline exercised
by those in authority, and 1t is necessa-
ry that all pupils alike shall subject
themselves to such discipline or forfeit
the privilege of attendance; and fur
ther, that disrespect to teachers, on the

In this connection, we are led
to inquire will the time come
when the people, like our Cover
nor, select men for office on
their merits rather that on their
popularity. The rule has been,
for a long time, for the man to
seek the office, or at least, as
Judge Mackey used to say, to be
standing around, so that the Of
flee would have no trouble in
finding him. There are many
men all over the State aell equip
ped for office and who are patri-
otic to the core, who would con-
sent to serve their country even
at a sacrifice, but who are un-
willing to be candidates in t e
sense that they must put them
selves up as targets for misrep-
resentation and abuse, and almost
certain defeat, especially when
they are making a sacrifice in
consenting to serve. They think
the game is not worth the candle.
Men should be taken from their
Offices, counting rooms and farms,
because they have been success
full in their respective avocations
and fitted for the position and
not simply because they are jol-
ly good fellows who need the
Office.

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Fer Cent. Of Sufferers Is Enormous

Remedy.

From several Investigations that
have been made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, 1t is estimated
that on an average about fifteen per
cent. Of the prison population of the
country is afflicted with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of the $4,000 prison
ers housed in the penal institutions
Of the United States at any given
time, not less than IL, 1000 II infected
with this disease. II the Philippine
islands and other insular possessions
we're taken into consideration the
number would be much larger. Some
of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan.
sas and Ohio show such shocking con
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that these
places of detention are death traps.
Similar conditions could be found in
almost every state. and In the major
ity Of cases the only sure remedy Is
the destruction of the old buildings
and the erection of new ones.
