PIGS FORM FREAK.
Four Born Joined Together by Lga'
ment Connecting Vitals.

KITTANNING. Pa, July 25.-Four pigs
attached together as were the Siamese
twins were brought here today by VIII
liam silves Of Manor township. The
freaks were born a few days ago and are
in perfect health Each pig has four legs,
a tail and a nose, but, strangely enough,
possesses only one eye, and that Is set In
the middle of the forehead.
Mr.. Silves was endeavoring to ascer-
tain il there was not some way of pre-
serving the lives of the pigs. The hga-
ment which joins the animals together
appears to be attached to the vital or
gans and according to a veterinary sur
geon, whom Mr.. Silves consulted. 1t would
be dangerous to attempt to sever the
cord.

Gets Benefit of Doubt.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Williams
argued to the court that the shock OF the
arrest had sobered Fleet, and contended
that he was drunk when he is alleged To
have be. staggering about the street.
Attorne, .omas Jones, who represented
Fleet, argued that IL Fleet was stagger-
ing about the street, IL did not necessari-
ly show that he was drunk.
In summing up the case Judge Pugh
pointed out that Fleet had had two
trials, one in the station house and the
other In court today. He said the prin-
cipal question before him was to deter
mine whether Capt. Schneider was right
in releasing Fleet or the ofhcer In ar
resting him.
capt. Schneider had no right to re-
lease the man after he had been ar
rested" said the court.

Fleet the benefit of the doubt, and ac-

him.

A MODERN LITANY.

Episcopelians met in the Cathedral
Of st. John the Divine in New York
city the other night and recited this
social litany:"
From the sins that divide us, from
all class bitterness and race hatred.
from forgetfulness OF Thee and In
difference to our fellow men, good
Lord, deliver US.
From the corruption of the fran
chise and civil government, from
greed and the arbitrary love of power
good Lord, deliver us.
From the fear Of unemployment
and the evils Of overwork, from the
curse of child labor and the III paid
toll of women, good Lord, deliver us
THAT the labor movement may be
confirmed in disinterested honor and
the employers of labor may fashion
their dealings according to the laws
of equity, we beseech Thee to heal
US, good Lord
To this prayer there will be every
where fervent amen.

HEALTH AND FINANCE.

This is an age, which places an ever
increasing emphasis on the relation OF
good health to individual hygiene. to
social effectiveness, to general pros
perity. The race is to the community
whose children thrive and whose WORK
ers keep well. Human health is a
purchasable commodity. as has been
demonstrated in Cuba, Panama and
the Philippines. New York City, with
its advanced health ordinances and
comparatively liberal supply Of mon
ey to carry them out, is striking ex-
ample of what an urban community
can do In the way OF radical reduc-
ton in infant mortality and In the gen.
eral death rate. Yakima county,
Washington, is another example show
ing the result of systematic health
work and liberal expenditure in rur
al district. In twelve months under a
full-time health officer; with we'll
equipped laboratory and a corps of
visiting nurses and sanitary inspec-
tors, the death-rate in the county from
typhoid fever was reduced from 12S
per hundred thousand to sixteen, and
the deaths from all causes fell from
| 53S in 1911 to 1893 in 1912. Other in
stances of like effective work might
| be cited.
The mayor of Colorado Springs said
recently to the delegates of the Ameri-
can Public Health Association that
the problems of public health are even
more vital than those of Individual
health. Appreciation Of this tact comes
/ slowly. Money to purchase public
health is given grudgingiy by those in
| charge of the public purse. st. Louis,
! the fourth city in the Uniteu States in
both population and manufactures,
/ spends annually only 100000 on its
| health department, whereas 1t spends
| 100000 annually on its police de
partment, twenty times the amount
spent for the promotion of public
health. Larger appropriations fol-
health purposes will only follow the
creation of public sentiment demand
ing them, and in accomplishing this
the newspapers must play the chic
role. The st. Louis Republic, recog
nizing this, has applied itself to thu
creation of public demand for bette
support Of the health department O.
st. Louis, and will present a plan TO
making that city the healthiest in tn,
United States. At present the death
rate in that city is considerably les
than that Of other large cities in thu
: same latitude, and almost as low a
that of Cleveland. New York and Sal
Francisco, cities more fayoraply lc

Gated geographically and climaticarly:
but 1t is believed that It can be made

but the sustained cooperation OF all
the citizens, and It is this cooperation
which. with an intelligent grasp OF the
requirements. the Republic has begun
a campaign to secure.
The newspapers and citizens Of
every community should awake to the

Life OF ages richly poured,
Love of God, unspent and free,
Flowing in the prophets word,

Fountain sweet OF heart and mind.
Homeward led, the wondering eye
Upward yearned In Joy or awe
Found the love that waited nigh
Guidance OF Thy guardian law
Consecrating art and song

LET us BE FAIR.

Within the past few weeks there
has developed In the power zone an
opposition to the companies getting
current from the Mississippi Power
Co. The attacks are not directly
.Nsinst the power company but they
appear to contain the desire to reflect
on that company. At the st. Louis
end the fight is purely local one.
Papers in a number Of cities affected
by the Keokuk water power are crtti-
cising the electric rate schedules.
Which calls up the question:
Are the rates for power and cleo
tricity too high?
The Gate City is not qualified to
pass on the question of an equitable
rate and Is certainly not Quitting in"
to the troubles OF other communities;
but 90 far as the local situation is
concerned has something to say.
1t is this:
When the present schedule OF cleo
trio light and gas rates was presented
several months ago by the Keokuk
Electric Co.. to number OF citizens
tor consideration, officials OF the COM
pany stated at the time that Il 1t de-
veloped after q trial'a reduction could
be made the company would willingly
take such step. The rates were effec-
tive last July. They have been In
operation four months and the COM
pany is probably now In position to
get fair conclusion as to whether
the rates for power and light and gas
can be reduced. There Is no question
but what the consumption of electric
tty and gas has increased during the
past year and that 1t will further In.
crease. More patrons can be accom-
modated without increasing the "over-
head" expense and as the local bush
ness improves the larger opportunity
the company will have to reduce the
rates. Whether that stage has been
reached in the operation of the Keo-
kuk Electric Co. remains to be seen.
The question Is being Investigated
and The Gate City believes that the
company patrons will be given the
benefit Of reduced price II it can be
accomplished without an Impairment
to the service.
! This organization has heen serving
patrons but a very few months. Let's
give them a chance to get their hear
ings.
II the Stone & Webster people fail
to redeem their pledge in this respect
| 1t will be the first one SO far as Ko-
kuk experience is concerned The
record OF the company from the very
/ beginning up to the present time to
ward community and individual has
been eminently fair The Gate Cit,
makes the prediction there will be nc
change in that policy. It is an un
| popular era to defend corporation
but where one has record such as
/ this The Gate City ventures on the
unpopular side in the firm belief that
its faith In this one is not misplaced

EDUCATION FOR LIFE.

That Hampton and Tuskegee,
schools for negroes, are valuable not
merely as excellent schools for the
colored race, but for their important
contribution to the present vocational
education movement, is the declara-
ton of the United States bureau OF
education. In pamphlet Just DIS
tributed by the bureau, entitled "Edu-
cation for Life," tribute is paid to the
work of Hampton Institute and par
ticularly General Armstrong, its found
er. who is looked upon by educators
as pioneer In the field Of practical
education.
General Armstrong possessed to a
remarkable degree the gift of educa-
tional prophecy" asserts Prof. Pea
body. in the introduction to the PAM
phlet. HE foresaw and foretold with
extraordinary precision the tend ncies
and transitions which within the last
25 years have practically revolutions
lied the principles OF education. The
training of the hand and eye as we'll
as of the mind, the moral effect of
technical skill, and the conception OF
labor as moral force, the test of
education in efficiency, and the vanity
Of education without discipline in
thrift, self-help, love of work and
willingness to sacrifice all these
familiar maxims of modern vocational
training were set forth by him with
all the assurance of social prophet'
