answers.
Probably the most frequent objec-
ton is that the time is not ripe for
such advanced legislation and the
rural districts are not prepared for
it. The time seems to have arrived
In practically every civilized land to
extend the helping hand to an unfor-
tunate or suffering child, and we be-
lieve that as the rural districts are
most in need, there being a proper
tionately greater number Of children
having defects there than elsewhere,
1T Is our duty to make whatever ef-
fort we can to relieve their afilc-
tions. Moreover, we are not willing
to acknowledge that we believe that
the children of South Carolina are
less deserving and should have fewer
advantages than children elsewhere.
The rural districts are prepared to
take advantage of every opportunity
that Is availab bic for the welfare and
happiness of its children.
The next foremost objection Is
that, If this bill is passed, it will
deny the parents their rights and the
family physician his prerogative. We
submit that neither position Is tena-
Gle. No parent has right to deny
his child its life, nor has he the
right to deny his child the opportu-
nifty to spend useful and happy
life. We further submit that each
parent has distinct obligation TO
himself, his child and the commu-
nifty, and that this obligation re-
quires that he give his child such
opportunities as will make him a
good citizen and not drunkard and
perhaps criminal. If parent
would deny his child these simple
opportunities, then that parent is so
obviously derclict in his duty that
the state, for its own welfare and
protection, should insist upon saving
the child from such a moral pervert.
The family physician is usually n
hlgh type man, and, above all, un-
SelilSh. Ills daily duties bring him
III constant contact with suffering
children, and he, most Of all, would
welcome any system that would free
their little bodies from pain and
would raise up for the State strong
men ana women to solve her scriols
and perpleXing problems Let MS
presume, however, that he (the phv
s1clan) is selfish man. The bin
speciiically provides that the cXami-
ner shall not treat any defect found
nor even report it to the child or
parent. but he shall report 1t to the
teacher, who i'm turn shall report II
10 the parent. and the parent, alone
determines whether the child shall
be treated
me third objection urged is that
the state has no right to pass such

BALLOONIsT's THRlLLLNG RACE.
1000 Feet Above Earth--Thunder
Soun sd Like Dozen Battles.

Manassas, Va, July 31.-"Uncle
sam proved a winner again when
the balloon of that name, piloted by
capt. II. e. Honeywell, Of st. Louis,
landed here at dawn near the historic
Bull Run battlefield, having defeated
all others in the elimination race
from Kansas City to decide which
three American entries should take
part In the international balloon con-
tests In Germany for the James Cor
don Bennett trophy.
Capt. Honeywell and his aide. Roy
f. Donaldson, spent thirty-fye hours
IN the air. and, as the crow flies, COW
cred distance of 925 miles from
the time they left Kansas CITY Sat
urday afternoon.
Feared Being Swept to Sea.
"A storm which overlook us in
our eastward race, and the fact that
we were approaching the Atlantic
ocean, drove us to the earth" said
Honeywell
I'VE were afraid that we might

I'VE did not know exactly where
we were when we started to descend.
But we knew that as we had left the
Alleghanies and Blue Ridge noun
tains some distance in our rear we
must be getting close to the sea-"
Allowing for the fact that their
course from Kansas City to Manas-
sas was roughly in the shape of a
crescent, the airmen estimated that
they sailed more than 1900 miles.
For good luck we patted a
hunch-backed newsboy before we left
Kansas City," said the captain. THAT
is why we won,' he added laugh
ingly.
1t was the captains one hundred
and seventy-fifth trip in a balloon.
despite the fact that | have made
many balloon trips" he continued,
"this was, in some respects, the most
interesting. We were close to
storms both Saturday and Sunday
nights, with lightning playing
around us and thunder sounding
like dozen battles rolled into one.
"The finest thing Of the whole trip
was cloud effect we saw when
crossing the Alleghenies last night.
We were between strata of cloud.
The full moon was shining brightly.
The clouds formed themselves into
shapes resembling forests of trees,

 Through the inability of the treasury department to secure bids within the appropriation allowed for the erection of governors mansion and other pub. lie buildings at Juneau, Alaska, it is feared that the work on these struc- lures cannot be undertaken this sea. son. Bids have twice been called for, once last summer and again this year. The later bids have just been opened by the department, and, like those of last August, are found to be so much in excess of the s4O,o0O appropriation made by congress for construction and furnishing that they cannot be further considered. 1t will be necessary either to get an additional appropriation or else to draw new plans calling for smaller expenditure, after which pew bids will have to be called for. It is probable that no construction ,eau be undertaken in Juneau this Seac.
