NATIONAL NEGLIGENCE.

If the government should suddenly
lay an annual tax of $3.50 on every,
man, woman and child In the United
States on promise of spending the
money for some useful purpose, that
promise would not avail against the
storm of protest which would be
aroused Nevertheless, tax which in
the aggregate amounts to that is be-
ing paid by the people of this country.

MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD.

In 1911, according to the United
States Geological Survey, 1880 ounces
Iof palladium were produced, 300
ounces from crude foreign and domes-
tic sands and the rest from the refin-
ing of copper ores and copper bullion.
Palladium finds a fairly large use
in technology. Circles of astronomical
instruments are made of it, and it is
also employed in matchmaking. Its
most extensive use is probably for
certain alloys in dental work. 1t is
also employed for soldering platinum
metals. As it is not altered or dis
colored by exposure to air it is often
used for plating metal ware. The de-
mand for this metal is greater than
the supply.
According to the Bureau of Stats
tics, 1918 troy ounces of palladium
were imported into the United States
in 1911, the value assigned being
$56,3O7, or $46.22 an ounce.

PREVALENCE OF TYPHOID.

The Federal government, through its
Health Department, is soon to inau-
gurate detailed and determined
campaign against typhoid fever, in
which one of the first steps will be
the investigation of municipal water
supplies in all places situated on
lakes or navigable streams. 1t is the
custom of cities that are on large
lakes or rivers to obtain their water
supply from them. AS a rule, the
source from which the water supply
is derived is also used for sewage dis
posal purpose. Such practice OF
course invites the genesis and spread
of disease, but the custom has be-
come so long rooted in our municipal
administration that people generally
accept it as perfectly natural and
make no protest against il. Dr.. Allan
J. Mclaughlin, of the public health
and marine hospital service, recently
made some timely comparisons show
ing that the typhoid death rate in
foreign cities was much smaller than
in American cities. DR.. Mclaughlin
also pointed out that from January,
1907, to October, 1911, there was an
epidemic of Asiatic cholera in Russia.
Most newspaper readers will remem'
Der that Russia's daily cholera bulle-
tin appeared in the papers of the Unit
ed States for period of years, CIV
ing the number of deaths and the
number of new cases. IN all that time
however, the annual number of cases
reported was 283,..t. According 10
a conservative estimate, the number
of typhoid fever cases in the United
States during that same period was
100000, or more than four cases OF
typhoid fever in the United States
for every case of cholera In Russia.
In 1901, DR.. Hamilton says, we
heard a great deal about the rayages
of cholera in Italy, yet in those years
there occurred in Italy about l6,0OO
cases of cholera and about 5000
deaths, and in the United States In
the same period We had more than
half million cases of typhoid fever
and $4,000 deaths" The complement
of this extraordinary death rate is
grave economic loss to the whole
community Experts estimate this
loss at something like $100,000,0OO a
year, an estimate which includes not
only the value of the actual lives lost
to the community but the expenses OF
medical attendance, the impaired ef-
ficiency during convalescence and the
loss of earnings incurred by those
suffering from the disease.

THE BETTER VIEW.

A classic was contributed TO the
literature Of the present campaign by
DIR. John Wesley Hill, president OF the
International Peace Forum, of New
York, in sermon at All Souls
Church in Chicago, OF which Jenkin
Lloyd Jones is pastor. DIR. Hill eulo-
giZed the present administration, and
said that President Taft was reared
in an atmosphere saturated with the
Puritan spirit and that his character
and career rest upon that religious
basis, which has developed his sense
OF personal accountability to God, love
of truth and justice, sensitiVeness to
the feelings of others, reverence for
sacred things, adherence to law and
order. fidelity to duty and devotion to
the spread of Christian civilization.
After recommending Resident =
efforts to obtain worldwide peace as
the browning point of his career, DR..
Hill concluded as follows:
"Measurered, therefore, from all
these viewpoints. by his faith in AL
mighty God; his belief in Christ;
Christian education, evangelism, mis-
sions and civilization; his unfailing
dependence upon Providence; his Ia
miliarity with the word of God and his
sincere attempt 10 bring his lie into
harmony with the precepts OF that
word; his habit Of prayer; his simple
and steady confidence in the ultimate
triumph OF the right; his production
of the spirit OF the Master as seen in
the gentleness OF his treatment of his
enemies, the patience with which lie
eudures opposition, being reyiled, and
reviled not again; by his reverence
/ for the Sabbath, his church member
ship and his respect and love for all
the churches and cooperation in their
work; his conservation TO the cause
of peace; his love OF truth and JUS
tice; his adherence of sham and ny
pocrisy; his sympathy with humanity;
his adherence to the right as God
enables him TO see the right; his ster-
ling, unquestionable integrity; his no
BILE moral sentiments and high ideals ;
his enthusiasm in the advancement
\ of every good cause; his practice OF
moderation in all things; his .exempli'
| fication of the spirit and principle OF
ltrue temperance reform, he being a
total abstainer; the purity of his
thoughts and words; the transparency
and cleanliness OF his life, and withal
his dauntless courage in the enforce
ment of law and the maintenance OF
the sanctity of our national heritage
which is rooted in the religious and
civil faith of our forefathers, ! pre-,
sent him as modest, consistent, con,

PRss1 IN FOR SUPREME JUDGE.

Saturday Globe: There are an I'M
usual number of reasons why there
should be a united effort to elect
Judge Preston to the supreme bench.
He has worked hard, is self-made, Is
thoroughly a home man. AS to Oska-
loosa and Mahaska county, saying
nothing of his qualifications, there
maintains a certain selfish motive; an
interest in Judge Preston's election
which may well be felt by every citi-
zen who wants to boost for his own
city and county-for lack of better
term, a kind of commercial interest.
If Judge Preston is elected he will con-
tinue his residence as at present.
That means, in all probability, a su-
preme judge whose home is in Oska-
Ioosa, Mahaska county, for a period
Of twelve years. Thus is afforded a
means of wide, favorable and con-
tinued publicity. Let's all boost for
Judge Preston for the supreme bench!
He is a competent man, and if elected
VII continue 70 be a home man.

CONFEDERATE PENSIONS AND
The BULL MOOSE PLATFORM.

The Progressive party platform is
called a Contract with the People
and is presumably to be carried out
in case OF success at the polls. 1t de-
claTes in no uncertain terms in favor
of pensioning these American SOL
diers" out of the federal treasury.
It reads as follows:
pensions We pledge ourselves
to a wise and just policy of pen
sioningAmerican soldiers and sail
Ors and their widows and children
by the Federal government And
We approve the policy of the
Southern states in granting pen
siOns to the Ex-confeoeFaEe sold
iers and sailors and their widows
and children"
All party platforms have heretofore
declared for pension for union sol
diers and sailors. This platform de-
clares for American" soldiers and to
make it more clear you are to approve
Of the providing of Confederate sol.
diers heretofore by the Southern
states. 1t then goes a step further
and pledges the Federal govern
ment" to take up this burden to all
American" soldiers, which includes
those who fought against the Union
from 1861 to 1865. Old soldiers are
beginning to wonder if battling
against the flag is to be rewarded the
same as defending IL.

HIGH COST is WORLD WIDE.

The statement has been widely cir
culated and has received considerable
support from political opponents, that
the tariff act of 1909 is chief factor
lin creating the high cost of living.
This is not true. A careful investl-
CATION will show that the phenome-
non of increased prices and cost of
living is worldwide in its extent and
quite as much in evidence in other
countries of advanced civilization and
progressive tendencies as in our own.
Bitter complaints of the burden of in
creased prices and cost of living have
been made not only ia this country,
but even in countries of Asia and
Africa. Disorder and even riots have
occurred in several European cities
because of the unprecedented cost OF
food products. In our own country,
changes have been manifested with
out regard to lower or higher duties
in the tariff act of 1909. Indeed, the
most notable increase in prices has
been in the case of products where
no duties are imposed, and in some
instances in which they were dimin-
ished or removed by the recent tariff
act.
1t is difficult to understand how any
Legislation or promise in political
platform can remedy this universal
condition. I have recommended the
creation of a commission to study this
subject and to report upon all pos
sible methods of alternating the hard
ship of which the people complain,
but great economic tendencies, not
able among which are the practically
universal movement from the country
to the city and the increased supply
of gold have been the most potent
factors in causing high prices. These
facts every careful student of the
situation must admit.
From speech of acceptance of Presi.
