He WAS GAME.
An Experience Of Bob Taylor When He
started Out to Lecture.

$k4TkGQ OOS- ~ 6SSSGtGs
"When the late Senator Bob Taylor
first went upon the lecture platform
he was IN bad financial fix, but IL
crowd of his down In Taylor, Tex, had
known ii we would not have played
such a mean game on him." said Colo
mel Albert W. Carpenter of the Lone
Star State.
little did we know at the time of
the glorious nature and generous soul
OF man who made half million dol.
lars and died penniless.
What we did was to dragon the
orator after the delivery of his speech
into joining an absurd sort of secret
society AS a part of the ridiculous
initiation he was sworn to set up
dinner to all present Immediately on
the adjournment Of the lodge. There
was good big crowd Of US, and the
eating and drinking came to just about
500, or exactly what Bob Taylor had
netted by his talk. Subsequently he
confessed to a friend that after paying
the score he had barely enough cash to
enable him to pay railroad fare out of
the town
"a year later be came back to our
burg. and the whole community turned
out to hear him Never did man get
more fi0ttering ovation in small vii
lage. The profits of bis lecture this
time were $500 Before leaving US
somebody reminded him Of his previ-
Gus visit, whereupon the genial Bob
IaugbingIy inquired what motive had
animated US in thus despoiling him.
We just wanted to see, governor. If
you were game, spoke up one of the
townsmen, and in recounting the affair
later Bob Taylor always added, You
can bet your life was glad that had
proved game Los Angeles Times

OF the NartA Dakota Methodist con-
ference held at WilIist0n during the
summer resolutions were adopted ask
ing the legislature not to consider any
legislation in that respect. These
resolutions have been filed in both
branches, and it is anticipated there
will be merry war waged should the
measure appear for passage. The
church and prohibition people are OPP
posed to this class of legislation. as
they fear that it would be dangerous
to resubmit the prohibition question
to direct vote of the people.

1t is predicted that provision for
woman's suffrage will be enacted this
session. There are two measures in
troduced providing for an amendment
to the constitution permitting woman
the right OF franchise, and as there is
no apparent opposition over the state
1t is very likely that the committee
will report comprehensive bill that
may become a law. 1t being con-
stitutional amendment, however, 1t
will be six years before the measure
will be In effect.

Early in the session the board Of
control sent a communication to both
branches calling attention to the
crowded condition of the insane Rsy-
Ium at Jamestown and asking that Inn
mediate action be taken by the legis
Iature to relieve the situation. Add
tons are needed to present buildings
and large amount of repairs are also
needed. So far the only relief the
legislature has seen Sit to extend is
by proposing to establish insane asy
lums In other cities Of the state. In
the senate there have been bills intro
duced to establish an asylum at Rug
by, one at Leeds and another at Rock
ford. A bill in the house establishes
one at Fessendsn.
-
"Blne sky" legislation received con-
siderable attention early in the week,
and five bills pertaining to that sub
ject were introduced in the senate in
one day, and one in the house. This
bill proposes to regulate and supervise
corporations operating in the state, Ali
the senate bills on the subject have
been referred TO the committee on
judiciary, and Will be reported back
in one bill.

There seems to be a disposition to
create the Office Of state fire marshal
this session. Such a measure has
failed of passage in many previous
sessions, but opposition seems to have
disappeared this time. The senate
bill now in the hands of the commit
tee would create fire marshal who
would be under the supervision of the
state commissioner of insurance. Hen
ry Reade of Bismarck, who has been
secretary of the North Dakota Fire
mems association ever since state
hood, has been frequently mentioned
as the man who will receive the an
pointment if the office is created this
time, He has Just returned from St
Paul, where he had a conference with
the fire marshal of Minnesota. He
also visited the Minnesota legislature
and has accumulated a mass of infor-
nation which he will impart to COM
mittees before whom the bill is now
being considered.

It is the charge of many legislators
that an effort is being made by SEN
atorial delegation to advance senti-
ment for a constitutional convention.
The object is said to be the defeat OF
the initiative and referendum, which
now is before the legislature. The
endeavor is attributed to corporate IN
terests.

bill looking toward more publicity for
laws of the state and would have

placed the emphasis on prayer, and
the offerings for missions will be

the amount contributed in this way

expansion of the work and the loss
from disease and death and break
down from overwork call for more
workers.
The secretaries feel that 1t is both
cruel:and wasteful to allow this de-
ficIency in force to continue, as those
in the field must be Overworked IN
order to meet the situation. They
call attention to the fact that ifany

look on the other side Of the picture
and solemnly contemplate the ter
rible cost of securing this money, and
II Is one that might well cause the

Keep themselves healthy. They want
above all to save the children.
1t has been estimated that every
baby born in the United Staes adds
$4,000 to its wealth; but not after the
babies are dead. In this State prob
ably forty out Of every hundred ba-
bies die before they are a year old.
Most OF those babies q million dollars
could not have bought. Thousands
now living could be saved by the
simplest sanitary precautions. South
Carollna's rate, as the board points
out, is not behind other States in the
South, but in all the rate is too high.
New York and New England States
have cut the rate low by preventive
measures
The same thing is true as to the
hookworm. The board has treated
100, ,O00 cases, but scores and hundreds
are dying Of it, or are not fit to work
or enjoy life. The physicians OF this
State are active now and have been
from the first. In rural districts
half the population has had exper-
ience with the hookworm, or are now
suffering with it. a doctor found that
among some negroes he examined.
80 per cent were infected. The cure
takes but few days; consequently
as the rate continues high in South
Carolina, physicians are of a mind in
considering that the most deadly dis
ease in the State Is plain ignorance
The removing Of the barriers of ig-
norance and prejudice against health
measures in the community and the
formulating of n plan Of campaign
against the ills Of the flesh will be in
the hearts and minds of those engag-
ing in the Conference on Public
Health.
