Under this title, the Philadelphia
North American discusses the work
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
city for the conservation of life and
health. After commenting on the loss
of 1000 human beings in the wreck
of the Titanic and contrasting this loss
with the certain loss of 5000 lives
every year in Philadelphia through
preventable diseases, the North Amer
Equitable Life Assurance Society is
to insure lives. Higer death-rate
means loss of revenue and reduction
of profits. So, with enlightened sell
fishness, the Equitable is endeavoring
to stimulate interest in the problems
of health and sanitation. The Equit-
able wants people to avoid illness and
to enjoy length of days. With the
Equitable. it isn't merely a humane
interest. 1t is strictly business. To
the Equitable. saving lives means saw
1g money, and yet this is not any
more true Of life-insurance society
than it is of the community. Every
Hfe has money value to society A
definite economic loss is suffered every
time an individual, who might have
been saved, dies. A city is rated ac-
cording to the number of its citizens
willing and able to make a living The
enlightened selfshness of powerful fl
nancial interests like the Equitable is
hopeful sign. There is no influence
that holds out more hope for progress
than enlightened selfishness.' The
Journal Of the American Medical AS
sociation thinks that the North Amer
lean is hght. It is the economic ap-
peal of the health conservation move
ment which is encouraging. Purely
moral causes win support slowly But
cause which is both moral and
economic cannot fail to win, as soon
as these two facts are recognized.

had such a fine prospect for corn.
SO we can look for corn crop that
will sell at a minimum of $S7. 100000.
But this is not a year whicT is char
.acterized by minimum yields This is
maximum year Oklahoma is quite
certain to produce the biggest corn
crop in her history. Those who wish
evidence of the fact should take trip
to. the country. They can see the
corn grow, they can hear it grow. And
Oklahoma farmers expect to realize
well over $1OO.OOO,OOO for the corn
which now is swiftly maturing

According to immediate returns
from this years celebration OF the
Fourth Of July, obtained by the Chi
cago Tribune, comparatively few
deaths or injuries have resulted. OF
course the figures are not complete.
but they are sufficiently so for COM
parison with similar figures for last
year. II will require several weeks
before the final results especially In
cases Of tetanus-can be known and
their outcome recorded. The journal
of the American Medical Associttion
lis compiling the statistics this year
as usual and, while its system of gath
ering these ensures fairly complete
returns, it will be glad to receive re-
ports from physicians of any deaths
or injuries cared for by them or COM
iag to their attention Such co-opera-
tion will be appreciated and will make
possible the publication of a more
complete statement than would other
wise be the case. The publication of
statistics showing the results of the
old-time methods of celebration has
doubtless done more than all other
factors combined to arouse public
sentiment against tht wanton triling
with life and limb in this annual cele-
bration While it is true that the an
nual total Of death and mutilatlon has
been greatly reduced, let us not rest
until the annual recurrence o. sense.

Mr. Bryan. in his principal speech
in the Baltimore convention, omitted
what he intended to say about the
Chicago steam roller and President
Taft because he saw Mrs. Taft was
present and he did not wish to cause
her embarrassment. It was very
chivalrous thing to do. But If Mrs
Taft is prudent she will stay away
from political gatherings the rest of

Il the Woodrow Wilson forces need
ed any special encouragement these
days-which they don't-they could
get it out of that republican state con-
vention in Iowa.
From the action of the Iowa repub-
licans it is as certain as anything can
be certain that the republican vote is
going to be divided between the Taft
and Roosevelt electors, which means
that both viii pool fewer votes than
the Wilson electors In other words.
Wilson will carry Iowa
Iowa republicans favorable to Taft
could not force an Endorsement of the
Taft administration, nor recon-
mendation that all real republicans
would vote for him this fall. 1t was
left to the individual conscience of
the voter" whether Taft or Roosevelt
should be followed.
Coming from a state of the impor-
tance OF Iowa, this convention will
have great effect 1t will boost the
Roosevelt third party to the detriment
of the Taft campaign all over the
country And as there is no real
cause to believe the Roosevelt move
ment ever can become considered ser.
ious itself, every indication is that
Wilson'S already rosy prospects will
continue to become more rosy-as the
campaign progresses.-Joplin Globe.

1---
To the thoughtful mind there is
nothing MORE beautiful than the kind
liness of nature to all her children.
We are brought into the world without
pain to ourselves or even knowledge
of4 the event and We go out the same
way. After life's fitful fever is over
We lie down to pleasant dreams. The
earth is kind mother. and when tired
of the buffetings and storms of life
the poor, tired child OF nature is given
a resting place in her bosom. Here
the rich and the poor alike find solace
and comfort and Ind peaceful bed
in her arms. A little cash in the
earth is the depository of the remains
Of the little child and the aged pill
grim and she kindly hides from sight
those who have grown weary of the
journey and stop. for rest and sleep.
Shall we be afraid to entrust the fu-
ture to providence so kind? Or
shall we be frightened at the approach
of death lest it be the end of all?
The student of political history finds
much to show that Woodrow Wilson
will win. He will get majority of
the electoral votes; that's all there
lis to it.
To elect president 266 electoral
voteslare necessary Republicans con-
cere 17S to Woodrow Wilson. These
are from the states of Alabama, Ari-
zona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia. Ken
lucky, louisiana, Maryland, Missis-
sippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Okla
homa South Carolina. Tennessee,
Texas and Virginia.
Wilson can't help but carry his own
state; MarshalEw was elected in Indiana
and the state will be for him again.
That adds twenty-nine votes. New
York and Connecticut with fifty-two
electoral votes will help and Bryan
will bring Nebraska into the demo
cratic column as he always has done.
This gives the necessary number of
votes to assure the election of Wood
row Wilson.
But he will get more; Bryan car
ried Nevada and Colorado Wilson
will do the same Ohio has acquired
the habit of going democratic, as wit
,oex +bo Oxro~w,J1. I,,,f,.xe -ofo srf.rap t<,
Harmon. Massachusetts elected a
democratic governor more than once
Wilson can. easily carry the Bay state.
In other states where republicans
cannot make up their minds whether
they are Taft adherents or Roosevelt
supporters, the struggle between the
factions in the republican party will
continue until the polls are closed in
November. While the factional fight
lis the bitterest, Woodrow Wilson will
capture few states which heretofore
have been looked upon as reliable re-
publican territory.
Democrats have nominated a candi-
date who best represents the principles
Of the party; and the platform is so
broad and so sensible that any voter
can stand on it and vote for Woodrow
Wilson.
Wilson's election will be easy. The
people wish him to be president. That
tells the tale. OF course, postmasters
who were appointed by President Taft
are quite likely to support the nomi-
nee of the republicans. But Mr.. Taft
can't muster his party strength. The
progressive element of the republican
party can consistently support Wood
row Wilson. That's why Wilson will
win.-O -Oklahoman.

could be selected But the initial step;
cannot be well taken on large or elab-
crate scale, for we have not the money
at present, nor the experience to guide us
in large outlay of money, Therefore,
we ought to be satisfied with a small
beginning, allowing at the same time for
the development Of the splendid project
just as much and as soon as our means
and our experience will warrant.
To this end The Times would suggest
that, besides looking up possible sites
land we have fine sites on city land
and figuring out the probable cost Of
such building as shall be necessary,
the authorized body, the board OF health
and the health committee, take up CORE
spondence with other municipalities
which have undertaken this work al.

Mass, where the experiment of caring
for the city's tuberculosis patients has
ItatAltu tlAt btdSc ~ iidNluE - optNial
sanitarium The directors of that insti-
tuition are in position to give Barre
some very valuable suggestions which
might be used in guidance of the novel
experiment in Barre. Then there are
probably other cities throughout New
England, and surely some in other parts
OF the country, where municipal institu-
tions Of this sort have been established.
Barre ought to build on their knowledge
of the requirements, rather than to 60
at the matter blindiy, and, without
doubt, those other cities would be glaI
to give us the results of their expert
ence; the kind Of structure required, the
cost of its construction, the expenses of
the care of the patients and
the possibilities for contamination iii
any by reason OF sanitarium being
Therefore, it would be well
to have some official, like the city clerk,
get into communication with as many
cities as possible and acquire such in

Then we can go ahead and undertake
its establishment on the right basis.
