that the bundle had been left by

Purifying a State.

Pennsylvania, the favorite hunting
ground of the muckraker, actually
has a health department with four
thousand employees, every one of
whom is holding his job, not by
order of the Organization" but
solely by the saving grace of fitness
and industry, which is disbursing
millions of dollars and receiving full
value for every nickel. And the re-
suits that the four thousand have
accomplished and are still achiev-
ing are impressive and inspiring.
While some folks thought health
department was a good thing to
make other people behave them
selves, they resented any attempt to
interfere with their own liberty to
do as they pleased. Thus, when
twenty hogs died of cholera their
owner refused to bury them. When
the department of health notified
him to abate the nuisance he allow
ed that he would do as he darn
pleased on his own land. It re-
quired fine of twenty-five dollars
to induce him to revise his opinion.

educated farmer; but what is to be

AS a tribute to the memory of
Charles Wilcox we append the fol-
lowing, written by his life long
friend, Honorable Daniel Mcdonald,
who has known him from early boy
hood, and held him in high esteem.
Mr.. Mcdonald writes:
Plymouth, Ind. Jan. 20, 1912.
Mrs. Charles III. Wilcox,
Dear Mrs. Wilcox: You have
my sincere sympathy in the great
affliction through which you have
passed in the care and attention you
have given to your husband during
the long and serious illness that
finally ended in his death at noon
today.
When | became a resident of
Plymouth with my parents in 1849,
now 90 years ago, your husband,
Mr.. Wilcox, being about seven
years old, was among the first boys
| became acquainted with. During
the now considerably more than
half century he and I have been
residents of Plymouth, nothing ever
occurred to mar the friendship that
existed between US. May the good
the future has in store for those who
pass away be, his in abundance.
As has been beautifully said:
Life is a narrow vale between the
barren peaks of two eternities. We
strive to look beyond the two
heights; We cry aloud and the only
answer is the echo of our wailing
cry. From the voiceless lips of the
unreplying dead there comes no
word; but in. the night of death
hope sees a star, and listening love
hears the rustic of wing" After
all
Life is short and time is feeting,
And our hearts though strong and
brave,
Still like muffled drums are beating
! Funeral marches to the grave"
With sincere good wishes,
Respectfully yours.

mace a speech at Albany, New
York, on the evening of January IL,
at which time he outlined his work
of reducing the cost of living by the
provision of a municipal market. He
told of the high prices charged by
the dealers for potatoes. He inquir-
ed as to the prices paid to the
potato raisers, and found that the
middle men In some way were max
ing the consumers pay a price that
he thought was excessive, and be-
yond reason. He sent agents to the
raisers, who bought potatoes at a
fair price, shipped them to his
home city, where he undertook the
selling of them to consumers at
price that simply made return of the
money. Mr.. Shank told of con-.
tinued deals of this sort, going into
commodities that were bought and
sold on the same plan, of the chick
ems and turkeys that were given to
the proper class of people at prices
that enabled them to buy such
things.
The Mayor explained the workings
of such a municipal market plan,
and advocated their establishment in
all cities where the prices of food
were so high as to be all but pro-
hibitive TO poor wages earners.
The speach has raised a storm
from the dealers in New York.
Henry Kelley, a Washington street
dealer of prominence, says cit is
nonsense. 1t can't be done, it is
not practicable.
The claim is made that the middle
man is necessary. He can't be
abolished. How will farmer get
his produce to the consumer direct !?
If he has two car loads of potatoes
that he wants to sell in New York,
he ships his two cars to the city.
He has one day in which to unload
them. That calls for trucks, which
may be available or not at all times.
If he finds the trucks. then his Gus
toners must be ready. If they are
not at hand, he will be compelled
to peddle his goods about the city
from house to house. Other farm
ers will be peddling their potatoes,
and there will be rivalry and COM
petition. Potatoes left at the close
of day must be stored 1t is
shown hat the municipal market idea
will not work unless the city goes
to large expense. Not every man or
woman in New York can go to mar
ket every day. and the city would be
compelled to either store the produce
or cart it from house to house. The
argument is that conditions ALWAYS
shape themselves to meet the de-
mands of any situation. Middlemen
have always been, and always must
be-they are necessary. Market
men have heard but little about the
municipal market idea in New
York, and look with distrust on the
plan. A meat dealer who has been
doing business for years in New
work, and has watched the advance
of meat prices, and studied the
causes. declares that it is not the
middle man at all, and asks why
they do not get after the Beef
barons. He says that they are the
real robbers and not the deal
ers at all. Often they do not get
back the cost even. according to
this man, and he claims that if the
consumer did not have the dealer to
fight his battles, the 'srobber" beef
barons would put the prices even
higher than now.
1t is likely that Mayor Shank will
have to inaugurate a campaign of
education on the municipal market
idea, for evidently all people will
