DIR. Wilbur F. Crafts Talks 10 Y. NJ.

br. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent Of
the International Reform Bureau, urged
a large audience at the Y NJ c. A, in
a lecture, "A Straight Talk to Men on
Washington Morals to use their own ef-
forts. and to enlist their friends. in an
endeavOr To secure the adoption by Con-
Eress Of the kenyon red light Injunction
bill" and to protest against the re-
appointment of CunO II. Rudolph as Dis
trict Commissioner, who, he said, was not
In favor of trying to exterminate the So
Cial evil
In reference TO the attitude Of the Dis
trict officials toward the continued
growth Of the social evil in the National
Capital, DR.. Crafts said:
Washington has laws enough to ex-
terminate this evil, If enforced. The
trouble is, that the Chief of Police and
the District Commissioners have under
stood themselves to be a court of rep
peal and have suspended the action of
these laws. They favor the sO-called seq
Tegation practice, and have defended this
sort of thing. We must start a crusade
for a morally clean city, and We must
protest against the continuance in Office
Of officials who let these things take care
of themselves"

THE THIRD TERM

Itsis& not too much to say that the
office Of president Of this United sta.
tes is Of the highest dignity and most
exalted on earth.
HE holds it BY no accident Of birth,
out by the volition Of 100000 free
and enlightened people.
Washington established the no-third
term precedent, now virtually taken
to be part Of our unwritten law.
Before the first convention Of 1881
the no-third-term PRECEDENT had been
firmly established by the virtual refus-
"a Of third terms by Presidents Wash
taston, Jefferson. Madison and Monroe.
Hence. when the gentleman now an
bitious for the third consecutive term,
declares the precedent was aimed at
only third consecutive term and came
Into being to prevent a president in
office from forcing his nomination by
a national convention dominated by del
egates consisting Of public officers ap-
pointed by him it would seem he had
forgotten the history thereof. Judge
Bourquin.

What would you people with fami

to close down because, lack Of funds =?
Or If your taxes should be increased
SO as to enable them to run?
This condition is a possibility and

by set of citizens who are both per-

nothing of their poor judgement.

Don't you realize that the business

expect them to exist if you all with
draw your support? What kind CT a
town WOULD you have if all your bust
town would you have if all your bust

Just as soon as the business houses
quit paying the big end of the taxes

idents or else you will find yourselves
without a city government and public

Now another thing; am perfectly
safe in saying that the average mer-
chant gets no more for his goods and
does not make a larger profit on his
merchandise than the average farmer
does for his product or the average
mechanic does for his labor. We must
all makea profit to live and we must
make 1t off the other fellow, directly
or indirectly. That is the law Of ex-
istance.
There are very few merchants who
attempt to compete with mail order

Of goods as they do Gas a rule) that
ne could not hold his trade. for a sin
gia year-he WOULD have nothing in
his store (the first stock would sell
quick) but returned and unsatisfactory
goods. You would take them back to
him but you wouldn't send them back
to the mail order house. "Aint it
the truth" You can't expect some
thing for nothing. If you do you'll get
stung.
There is another side to this. It il
TACT that there aresome business men

they don't carry for their entire fami-

chart. 1t would hurt their feelings
considerably to be called undesirable

much so as the other fellow who does
his business through the post and ex-
press offices.
They would make the loudest hollar

There is only one way to make a
growing and prosperous city, and that
Is for every citizen to do his best to
support his own town-not only in
words but more so in deeds.
1t isn't the big city that supports
the "maM order houses it is the coun-
try towns. Now little logic, as long
as the country people take their sup
port away from their own towns and
give it to the mail order houses" they
will remain nothing but country towns
Just as soon as they throw their sup
port to their home industries it will
mean that the country town will be-
gin to grow cut of that class and
into the city class with all of the
benefits which it is bound to bring.
This will follow just as sure as night

Protestant churches Of the country have
observed this week as home mission week.
Home interests in New York signalized
the week by meeting together for the first
time in their history. They authorized
the naming Of a committee to make
study of home mission conditions In New
York, and later the calling by that com
mittee Of formal conference. II was
said yesterday In home mission meetings
that there may result central board Of
missions. and that through 1t ell home
work of New York and vicinity will be
carried on. The remarkable thing about
1t Is the unity displayed. Never before
has such advanced steps been taken.
Bodies Joining in the plan thus far are
the Baptists, Disciples OF Christ. Episco-
palians, Congregationalists, Methodists.
Presbyterians Of several names and Re-
formed So far as could be learned, there
were no Lutherans present at the initial
conference, but belief was expressed that
at least one or two Lutheran bodies VIII
come In. Bishop Greer attended, and was
particularly hearty in his Endorsement OF
the plans. The Rev. DR.. Charles l..
Thompson, Of the Presbyterian Home
Board. was named chairman and author-
lied 10 appoint the committee referred TO.

The landlord who tolerates hordes Of
cockroaches on the premises Will view
with indifference the presence OF other
so-caned domestic vermin and parasites.
IL q correct census of the living inhabi-
tants Of q tenement or an apartment
house could be taken. in many instances
the reaches, bedbugs, rats, mice and fieas
would far outnumber the human occu-
pants.
It is well known In medical circles that
each OF the tribes Of pests mentioned is
an active agent In the distribution OF dis
ease The disgusting cockroach, known
in Sweden as the bread eater" travels
directly from the house drain TO feed on
the cut loaf of bread which, Is 20 provide
supper for the children. The bedbug,
which feeds directly on human blood, has
been found to transmit bubonic plague.
and several other Oriental epidemic dis
eases from man to man, and Is probably
the usual agent IN the transmission or
epidemic paralysis, known also as infan-
tile paralysis and poliomyelitis.
The bedbug is now known to be far the
most dangerous insect parasite present In
homes in the Temperate Zone. and is as
much TO be dreaded as an encounter with
the tse-tse fly Of South Africa.
The possible danger of providing rem
devious for rats and their attendant fieas
in all countries in which bubonic plague
has attained foothold Is now well
known. but will be referred TO later In
this article. The furtive, shadowl!ke
mouse invades the steamheated home at
the oncoming Of winter, bringing with
him all OF the diseases he may have
acquired in squalid novels and cellars
Dr. Heinrich Stern, the editor Of the
Archives Of Diagnosis" related TO the
writer the following circumstances: A
young boy, an only child in home OF
wealth, was stricken with severe form
of chicken-pox how the disease could
have been acquired. in the most sanitary
environment and twenty miles from
chicken" was a complete mystery, until
an investigation Of the clothes closet OF
the child's apartment disclosed an unmis-
taxable mouse odor. Watch Tor the
mouse was maintained for forty-eisht
hours. and at the end of that time
sick mouse with a full eruption OF
ch,cken-pox soaring his hide emerged
from the closet and was captured.
There is a direct relationship between
the subjects OF plumbing and household
vernnln, for the usual and customary mi
grafton of bedbugs, reaches, rats and
mice from house to house is along paths
of ingress and egress provided by the
piping.
The German cockroach is known
throughout the country as the "Croton
