possible to remain in the schools of

education of Mason City in plea it
has just made for an additional ap-
preparation of $4,000 for school
purposes. The courses outlined en-
body manual training, metal work,
commercial courses and agriculture
for boys, and domestic science as 1t

nursery and the dressmaking depart
ments as we'll as agriculture for the
girls.

lNocuLATloN FOR TYPHOID.

On the recommendation Of the sur
geon general of the army the secre-
tary of war has issued orders requir-
ing all army men to be inoculated
with a view to making them immune
to typhoid fever. The work of inocu-
lating for this dreaded disease has
been going on for some time. A SER
UNI is injected into the blood from
which no bad results follow but which
makes the man SO inoculated immune
to typhoid.
Among soldiers where the serum
was not used in the recent experiment
there were All cases per every 1000
men. Where soldiers were 1nocuiat-
ed. the result was but one case out
of 1000 men, These tests are accept
ed as conclusive evidence that the SER
um practically eliminates the danger
of infection. The action of the war
department officially recognizes the
merits of this preventive treatment so
far as the army is concerned. what
will the general public do with this
tested and fully accredited knowi-
edge?
Based on the reports to various
state boards of health, 1t is estimated
that there were $4,000 deaths In the
United States from typhoid in 1910.
That is terrific toll on the human
family. And now it has been proven
that this loss is unnecessary. In
! view of all the facts is the case ev-
cry board OF health and every state
legislative assembly should give earn
est consideration to ways and means
of utilizing to the best advantage the
life saving discoveries in this direc'
ton.

Can They See the sIqns7

Springfield (Mass.) Republican:
Those western railroad employees who
are voting to strike are strangely
blind to the business signs of the
times. They should be well satisfied in
having work at present wages and
under present conditions. In the great
railroad stock liquidation of 1907 there
was no labor liquidation. On the con-
trary wages kept up through it all,
and even increased later on. There are
some limits to that process. A strike
would be apt to produce reverse
process.

LONGING.

OF all the myriad moods Of mind
That through the soul come throng-
ing
Which one was e'er SO dear, so kind
So beautiful as Longing?
The thing We long for, that we are
For one transcendent moment,
Before the present poor and bare,
Can make its sneering comment.
Still through the paltry stir and strife,
CLOVIS down the wished ideal,
And longing molds in clay, what life
Caryes in the marble real,
TO let the new life in, we know
Desire must ope the portal,
Perhaps the longing to be SO,
Helps makes the soul immortal
longing is Gods fresh heavenward
will,
With our poor earthly striving,
We quench 1t, that we may be still
Content with merely living,
But, would we learn that hearts full
scope
Which we are hourly wronging,
Our lives must climb from hope to
hope
And realize our longing.
Ah! let us hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons
The moments when we tread His
ways,
But when the spirit beckons-
That some slight good is also wrought.
Beyond dissatisfaction,
When we are simply good in thought,
Howe'er we fail in action.

THE MULE,

Missourians, who have long been
proud of the mule because Of his
strong qualities, are now beginning to
find an affinity in him. A local poet
in that state sets forth the following
points of resemblance:
The mule-he has a load to pull,
And so has man.
He's happiest when he is full,
And SO is man.
Like men he holds patient poise,
And when his works done will rejoice,
The mule-he likes to hear his voice
And SO does man.

CONFERENCE OF THE RACES


One of the most significant meet
ings of the year has just ended in Lon
don known as the Universal Races
Congress" in which representatives
of the various races took part, and
over which Lord Weardale presided.
Prominent among the American dele.
cation was Prof w. e. w. Dubois OF
Atlanta University. He says, in an
article for the Independent, that the
scientists present were agreed that 1t
is not legitimate to argue from differ
ence in mental characteristics, that
physical and mental characteristics
are not permanent, but are capable Of
being modified in few generations
by environment and education, and
that the status of a race at any time
offers no index as to its innate or in
herited capacities.

ton, that it should be satisfied of the
guilt of Fielder beyond a reasonable
doubt before it would be warranted IN
returning true bill. We have not
seen a stenographic report of Judge
Cages charge; but hardly think 1t
possible that his honor told the grand
iurv any such thing as he IS quoted
as having told it. The claim is absurd.
-Yorkville Enquirer.
The Yorkville Enquirer. is SO unl-
formly fair that we feel disposed to
give it light upon this matter. There
was a. great deal of interest in this
ease, and in order that there might be
= M question as to what happened N
regard to it, the newspaper corre-
spondents in Newberry had the bene-
fit of the stenographer's notes upon
: every deliverance from the bench IN
regard to it. These notes will show
that Judge Gage charged the grand
Jury, in, reference to this bill, after
stating the allegations Of the indict-
rnent: s'If the testimony satisfies you,
gentlemen, beyond a reasonable doubt,
that those allegations are true, find a
true bill. Unless the testimony does
=. satisfy you, find mo bill"
:: In Justice to Judge Gage, it has been
stated, and is reiterated, that this
charge was not alone applied to the
Fielder case, but that he has charged
grand iuries on other. indictments to
the same effect. There can be 10 doubt
that the Newberry correspondents
were correct in their report of Judge
CAGES charge sent out from Newber-
nv. Any one who heard the charge
will bear out the stenographic report
furnished the Newberry correspond
ents, as will Judge Gage, We have no
doubt. And, as we state, it was not
alone applied by Judge Gage TO the
Fielder case; but on other indictments
at the same term of court, and on IN
dictments elsewhere in the circuit as
we have been informed, Judge Gage
made the same charge.
This much in justice to the NeWDer-
ry correspondents.
Judge Gage, from what we know OF
; him, IS not the kind of man who via
shirk anything before him, or fail to
stand by anything he does, and the
editor of the Enquirer might satisfy
himself by asking Judge Gage.
