Eradication of the HOokWorm

The field experts who are working under
the direction of the state and the Rock
efeller commission have left Dothan and
are now in Geneva county. where they
report finding the customary number OF
children afflicted by the parasite.
This state should wake up to the fact
that the hookworm disease is as wide as
the states bounds. No county is free
from it; and every county needs the SER
vices of the expert physicians.
The welfare of the state would be pro-
NOTED if the legislature would promote
the work begun by the Rockefeller COM
mission. A citizen afflicted with hook
worms cannot be an efficient citizen, and
money expended in the eradication of the
pest would be money expended for the
uplife of the state. Better and more eff
uplift of the state. Better and more eff
porous state, and surely every one Of the
81 counties needs the services of hook
worm experts.

MISS AsToR's HAT BOXES
the washington Star.


London--Like the rest of society,
smart American women are fitting about
here, there and everywhere just now,
and their luggage is source of amaze
ment to those uninitiated in the require
ments of the mondaine. One morning
not long ago at Charing Cross Mrs
John Jacob Aston had to pay $3.50 for
excess on luggage. A conspicuous
feature in the consignment was the
number of hat boxes which had arrived
at the station in charge of a maid. Some
were round, measuring three yards in
diameter. All told, there was dozen
or more.
Each box was insuredA One which
apparently contained an extra precious
Creation" the maid desired to carry
into her own second class compartment,
but the officials had a word to say on
the subject as the dimensions required
the room of two passengers. After
some considerable discussion 1t was
eventually placed in the van with the
others. All these interesting boxes
were of compressed cane in a lovely
shade of blue. an entirely new idea, as
hitherto compressed cane boxes have
been turned out In the inevitable ginger
tint. Mrs. Astor's had silver clasps.

Mine Accidents Here and Elsewhere

The establishment in this district of a
rescue station and the training of men at
every mine who know how to rescue men
overwhelmed in a disaster brings to mind
the fact that this country is behind many
other lands in this great humanitarian ef-
fort.
In the coal mines of North America the
fatalities from accident among miners is
B:1s per 1000 employed. In the United
Kingdom it is 1.19 per 1000 employees; in
Austria, 1885, in France, 1.s1, and in Prus-
STA, 2.33. The fatalities in this country
are about double in rate of those in other
countries.
The establishment of bureau of mines
In this country is leading to the applca-
ton here of the best known methods of
other countries in the rescue of men in
mine disasters. The legislature could pro-
mote this humanitarian work by prohibit
ing the presence in mines of children who
ought to be at school. Twenty three chill
dren were killed in the mines of this coun-
try in 1908, all of whom were under Is
years of age. Children should be kept out
of mines by legislative enactment. The
child and the inexperienced miner as
rule furnish many fatalities in mine ac-
cidents.
If the state would perfect its labor laws,
the chances are very good that the most
approved methods of rescue will speedily
be applied in this country, and it may
be that the percentage of fatalities can
be brought down in this country to that
of Great Britain. In that case the per-
centage would have to be reduced nearly
66 per cent This can be done if the state
and the federal government will pull to-
gether in this matter of life and death.

Thru lands which look one sea of billowy

Broad rivers wind their devious ways;
hundred isles in their embraces fold
hundred luminous bays;
And thru yon purple haze
Vast mountains lift their piumed peaks

And, save where up their sides the plow-

An unhewn forest girds them grandly
round.
In whose dark shades future navy
sleeps.
Ye stars, which, tho unseen, vet with

Upon this loveliest fragment of the earth
Thou sun, that kindest all thy gentlest

Above It, as to light favorite hearth!
Ye clouds, that in your temples In the

See nothing brighter than its humblest

And you, ye winds. that on the oceans

"HERE died in New York recently
an actor and playwright named
i Mervyn NJ. Dallas, who HAD
reached the age of 81 years. A descr1p-
ton of the last scene shows him sitting III
his chair. By his side Is worn copy
of Shakespeare which had slipped from
his hand and fallen to the floor. No one
had been with him, and this isolation In
death seemed to follow fifty his isolation
in life He had no near relatives to care
for him, had no home except his room
in a boarding house, and his support came
out of the Actors Fund of America.
We suppose the common verdict would
be that his life was more pathetic than
his death, but as matter of fact the
lesson that stands out most prominently
In it's closing years suggests something
quite the reverse of pathos or sorrow.
For Mr.. Dallas had a purpose In living,
an unfagging interest that stayed with
him up to the very moment when he fell
into that last sleep. If he could not con-
tinue to appear upon the stage he could
still write his plays, and he kept at the
work with great energy. He kept at 1t.
too, in spite of disappointments, since he
did not write merely to please himself
with his compositions. and he suffered like
others from rejected manuscripts. They
came back much too often, but his was q
temperament that could not be depressed
very long. He was, we are told, spry
and full of courage, "spunhy," as his
landlady called him.

Senator Bailey aud Tariff Revision

There is really no division at all In
the democratic party over the need OF
tariff revision. There are no tories In
the party who defend the special interests
that have plundered the country under
the high protective tariffs of the repub-
lican party. Much has been said about
Senator Bailey's view, but his opposi-
ton relates to methods and not to re-
vision itself. He is a good reviser. II
believe" he says, that the only way
to revise a bill like the Payne-Aldrich
act is to cut it's heads off and to cut 1t
off as soon as you get to it, Every sched-
ule in it is bad. l am not willing to
take out one and leave another there.

apples there is no choice. Let us pre-
pare a tariff bill exactly as If we had

Water Fronts at Our Ports

The possession and use of a water front
has become in American cities as much of
a monopoly as the land transportation.
"There are only two cities" says the
New Orleans Picayune, least of the
Rocky mountains that possess the inesti-
mable advantages of full free use of
water front. These are New York, the
American metropolis, which was made
great by the Erie canal, which connects
the vast west by way of the northern
lakes through the Hudson river with the
great port; and New Orleans, which by
means of the mighty river flowing past
her doors commands 10000 miles of nav
igable waterways into every part of the
vast heart of North America"
Just at present Mobile and Philadelphia
are fighting to regain the use of their re-
spective water fronts, and the railroads
are fighting to retain them. 1t Is indeed
strange that only two cities east of the
Rocky mountains still control their water
fronts. The fuller use of them has at any
rate passed into the hands Of the rail-
roads.
Water transportation belongs to the
whole wide world in the broadcast sense
of the word, and the time has surely come

until half an hour after the soldiers had
been called for by the police, that he
was not in command at any moment, and
that the only reason for calling on the
soldiers was that the banditti had long

On the whole, the mysterious affair
proved that the home secretary is a live
wire but that London is a rather curl
Gus cauldron of races. For the enor-

back a heterogeneous throng of monde

one of whom was in imminent danger of

low up the good effects of the vote
against constitutional prohibition, the
legislature should make such changes at
least as would allow visitors to the cities
of the state to buy a bottle of beer with
out violating the law.
Georgia is classed as a prohibition

shadow of law. Atlanta is a quiet beer
