LETTER FROM SAMANTHA

Dear Register: Them hospital
pieces the last two weeks has been
mighty interestin' rcadin' to me.
Land sakeS! never dreamed that
anything so beautiful would ever hap
pen to ~Brookings as to hev the
~deaconesses come in and manage our
hospital the one institution in the
town thet's been a-worryin' the life
nearly outen us, ever sence it was
started.
Need a hospital? OF course Brook
jngs needs a hospital. We've got so
used to one now tibet we'd be lost
without i jest as eff the Presbyterian
church was gone, or SINNERS store
or the eclectric light plant. The hos
pital is a part of the town and we've
got to hang on to it.
Thet's the reason, Mr.. Editor, that
I've been willin' to cook vittles fer
suppers and buy tickets to Benefits
and Plays, though never got to Plays
myself, land knows! and make sheets
and pillow slips to help keep the thing
a-goin.' l wouldn't complain a mite,
neither if after all we've done, the
thing had went.
But fer months, now, we've been
hcarin' tibet the Managin' Association
"a discharged and tired tryin' and
hev been w%onderin' what in time we
was goin' to do here.
And now, jest like the sun a-shinin'
out from this perposal of the deacon
esses. l know 'em, bless their bun
nits! I've seen 'em in the city, goin'
round, a-smilin' at little ragged chill
dren and a-visitin' in the turrible poor
homes, where their faces is the only
cheerful thing that ever enters the
door. And I've seen their o~rphanages
and old folks homes and hospitals.
They help everybody. Once, Mr..
Editor, in a turrible dark time in the
city, a deGconess helped me. l had
to go to a Hospital myself, and none of
my folks was there, and it seems to
me yet tibet when they put me on the
cart and wheeled me to the operatin'

room, all white and scary, thet | should
jest aided of fright before the surgeon
teched me at all if one of the deacon
esses hadn't held fast to my hand and
looked down into my face all calm and
smilin' like, and speakin' quietin'
words. And the first person | called
fer, when l walked up was her, and
there she was, settin' and waitin.'
You can't tell me anythin' about
deaconesses, Mr., Editor. They're
angels eff anybody is, and better'n
angels, l do believe, fer lookin' after
folks in this sufferin world.
And now all Brookings has to do to
get them women here is to give 'em
the buildin' to work in. It's a bargain
we're goin' to get the best end of
looks to me. Our end is mostly over
when the $4,000 is paid in the first of
November, Though l want to keep on
helpin' always, what | can myself
but their end has just begun. Think
of all the years they'll be workin' here,
and the hospital a-goin' bigger all the
time, and patients a-comin' in from all
around, and people all over the state
a-helpin' it, and by and by a nurses
home goin' up and then maybe a new
wing. 1t won't stay a little, local in
stitution very long, Mr.. Editor, eff the
deaconesses takes hold of it.
o, yes, / know it's a hard pull fer
folks to part with their money, even
to ave the hospitals hard as pullin'
teeth and twice as paneful. l tell you
| couldn't a-been hired to be in sister
Wilson's shoes the last two weeks-I
bet she's worn holes in 'em, a-goin'
around solicitin'. She couldn't be hir-
Eff she was a-workin' fer money
there's lots easier things she could do
than goin' round listenin' to every
body's excuse why they shouldn't
give-hospitals amt needed, the doc
tors makes all the money out of 'em
any way, there want much of a crop
last year and maybe there won't be
next, We don't know yet who is goin'
to be president, etcetery.
But she's the kind that aiD't goin' to
be put off by mere excuses, l kin see
that, and, Mr.. Editor, l believe her

the should be patrons to take advan.

of their poverty.
Modern Capitalization has landed
the text books used in our schools in
the hands of the trust. The prices of
school books are eXhorbitant. The
man with a small income and a large
family cannot meet the demands made
upon him; the consequence Is that an
educated, intelligent citizenship is be.
ing sacrificed to promote profit.
Illiteracy is increasing even in those
states that offer exceptional educa-
tional advantages, simply because
those who need these advantages most
are too poor to buy books, or too poor
to buy the needed food and clothing
to keep them fit to take advantage Of
the opportunities offered. In some of
our cities where the conditions are
worse a few are making the effort to
meet these needs through charity. But
charity, public or private, is essentially
partial and inadequate. Socialists
would have a federal department of
education, with power TO enforce de-
~linquent communities to comply with
required conditions. They would have
every school equipped with everything
that appertains to the education of the
efficient citizen. And until an indus
trial system is so owned, organized
and operated that all may have an op-
portunity 10 work and be secure in the
full product of their labor, they would
have every child furnished with what
ever it lacked in order to take advan-
tage of the educational opportunities
offered, at public expense. And this
they would have done as the inalien-
able right of the child with no odium
of charity attached.
The cry Of invading property rights
or dividing up" would no doubt greet
the inauguration of such reforms in
our educational system but they must
eventually be silenced in the face of

THE YOUNG PRoHiBs MEET

The following account of the meet
ing of the Young Peoples Prohibition
Society at Redfield last week, has
been handed the Register:
The Young Peoples Progressive
Prohibition Convention was called to
order at Redfield by the president at
ten o'clock on the morning OF Septem-
Der 4. After prayer by Rev. Ellis of
Tulare, Rev. N. A. Christensen was
elected chairman OF the convention
and W. c. Elford as secretary.
After the appointment Of commit
tees, w. ]. Edgar Of Aberdeen, gave
a soul stirring address on the need OF
patriotic service. He declared the
ballot to be the voice of a free mans
soul speaking out in the affairs OF the
nation. On the whole his address was
a plea to the young men and young
women to exemplify, in our political
life, the heroism and chivalry shown
by the men and women on the Titanic.
Hon. o. w. Butterield being present
was asked to make a few remarks and
in his characteristic way went right
into the subject declaring that if the
liquor traffic is right the license sys-
ten is wrong. 1t is this system that
keeps the saloon in existence and it
Is not a question of how an Office
seeker feels toward the liquor bust
ness. but how will he use the power
of his office toward it.
John II. Hector, the famous Black
knight" of York, Penn gave one OF
his spirited talks which was immense
ly enjoyed by all.
After several short talks by various
delegates. the convention adjourned
until the committeec were ready to
report, when ii was again called to
order and the balance OF the after
noon was used in tr~ansacting bust
ness.
In the evening DR.. J. p. Jenkins OF
Mitchell addressed a mass meeting.
His talk was full OF great truths.
Taking for his subject the "Sinews OF
War" he showed how the evil forces
OF this world were V embarrassed
financially. He declared the prohibi-
ton work vas TO be classed with other
reform work as belonging TO the
Kingdom of our Lord" and conse-
quently our system OF finance should
be fixed on the basis of Christianity.
He contrasted the present method OF
giving with the method of the early
christians, declaring that the Isreal-
ties did not finance their religious
work as we do with the result they
always had plenty while we are
always in need. He ended by stat
ing IF men are willing to give their
lives, others ought to furnish the
sinews TO aid them"
The session of the morning of the
9Th was opened by prayer and a song
Rally Oh! Ye Freemen," after which
Rev. c. F. Sturtz Of Aberdeen gave an
address on The German View of the
Liquor Traffic" He stated the Ger
mans have not been given a fair show
as all work has been carried out on
the plan that the German could not be
influenced. He declared that the Ger
mans would and were falling into
line rapidly wherever any work had
been done among them. He also
pointed out the great works of scien-
tific temperance Investigations carried
out by German scholars. Our one
great need is to reach the German and
he will respond. After this address.

HELP TO CLEAN UP TOWN.
Thereby Preventing Spread Of Disease and
 Make it More Attractive.

matter of public health have be- come so important that campaigns have been taken up in all progress i've cities and towns to reduce the amount of disease by removing the cause.
 These measures are more im- portant than ever to towns like Huttig located on the edge of the overflow district. as everybody ex- poets considerable sickness this summer on that account, but we can prevent part of it by doing our duty around our homes.
 Dirt and filth are dangerous to the public health. and the hearty cooperation of every citizen should be had in making Huttig one of the cleanest cities in the state.
 The majority of summer disease. levers and bowel trouble, are due 10 preventable causes. They have their origin in decayed animal and vegetable matter.
 We now know that the common house fly is the most dangerous carrier of diseases known to man, and by exterminating the fly we can very materially reduce disease. The fly is just now beginning to breed, and their chief breeding places are in stable manure. drains, pools of slop water, privies and all decaying animal and vegetable matter.
 They breed in the very places where disease germs are most abundant. They come into our houses with their bodies laden with disease germs crawl over our food and leave it Infected. They infect the firiiK ard food that is fed to the little one, and then when they are lost parents wonder why Providence is so unkind. This explains the fact why those who are filthy in their homes, or those who do not protect themselves with screens have more disease than those who are cleanly and who protect themselves against the fly.
 The fact that. your neighbor cleans up does not protect him if you do not also clean up, and thus you hold the health of your neigh bor largely in your hands, and it is necessary that you do your part in the prevention of disease.
 Flies accumulate very rapidly, their eggs matching in from l2 to 24 hours, and by removing their breeding places early in the season their number can be greatly de- creased for the summer. They do not travel far and if Huttig takes care of her own flies she will not be bothered with those from any other town or surrounding country.
 Huttig has an ordinance relating to public nuisances and all stables, pens, slop pools, garbage piles and prives should be cleaned at once, as the Board of Health is deter mined to do all in it's poWdr to pre- vent the spread of disease here this summer.
 Garbage thrown in the yard or in the alleys makes breeding places for germs and thus become public nuisances. See that your yards and alleys are cleaned of all refuse
 Everybody should take pride IT helping make Huttig "Spotless Town Gather up all cans that might hold water and make breed ing place for disease carrying in. sects and also all rubbish and the town will have same removed. Reac the proclamation of the BoarC of Health in another column anC get busy Have all refuse ready to be hauled away between the Is and 4th of May and then keep you premises clean the rest of tht summer.
