NO ROOM FOR A THIRD PARTY
CONGRESSMAN GOOD so Ex.
PRESSES IN LINCOLN SPEECH.
Says Republican, Party Must Be Re.
organized BY Addition and
Not BY Subtraction.

Washington, D. c. Feb, l5.r-That
there is no room in the politics of
this nation for the bull moose or any
other insurgent republican party is
the belief OF Representative J. w.
Good OF the Fifth Iowa district, as
expressed in his Lincoln day speech
before the Republican club of Port
land, Maine. Mr., Good closed his
speech with the following sentences:
But what of the party of Lincoln?
What is to be the future of the repub-
lican party under whose auspices we
meet tonight? On the 4th of March
it completely yields up the reins of
government to democracy. What a
wonderful record it has made! Its
history is the record of the nations
greatest prosperity, development and
power. VIII it survive its defeat?
Will it again be entrusted with pow.
er? These are serious question and
present conditions demand serious
consideration.
Il have confidence that the people
again will turn to the party of Lin
coin to administer their affairs, but
whether this shall prove true or not
depends upon republicans. Whether
this shall be true or not. this ] know,
that the principles OF Abraham Lin
coin will endure as long as time itself.
II we as party would succeed we
must adhere to and he guided by the
same principles that controlled in the
life OF Abraham Lincoln. There is
room for one republican party, one
party of protection, but there Is not
room for two.
THE reorganization of the repubi-
can party must be by addition and not
by subtraction: by invitation to and
not elimination from, the party, and
all must be done on the basis of the
equality of man and in the spirit OF
Malice toward none and charity for
all :"

WAR ON HOOKWORM

THE PROPOSED RockEFEL.
LER FOUNDATION.
SENATE TO PASS THE BILL
Oil Mans Millions Will Be Used In
investigation and Eradication Of
Widespread Disease That Reduces
the Worlds Efficiency.
BIZ, GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington.-It seems to be the
general belief in Washington that the
senate will pass and the president
will sign the bill recently sanctioned
by the house of representatives
for the Incorporation of what is known
as the Rockefeller Foundation. There
was opposition to the incorporation of
the Rockefeller institutional founda-
ton and it was thought at one time
that the Representatives would fail
TO sanction it, but a change suddenly
came over their temper and the bill
went through by an entirely unexpect-
ed majority. 1t Is now for the senate
and the president to act ..m
AS the, country knows, Mr. Rookie
Teller wants the national legislature
to incorporate this foundation which
be has established in order that 1t
may do its work with the government
sanction back of its endeayor. The
proponents of Incorporation say that
the good which will come from the
expenditure of Mr. Rockefeller's mil
lions along the proposed lines can
not be measured. They say that the
government is not committed to any
thing except an act OF Incorporation
and that there can be no real opposi-
ton except that which is based on
what they call false sentiment. There
are other views on this question of
the falsity of sentiment, but inasmuch
as the measure has been approved by
a house which supposedly was hos
bile, it seems likely that the senate.
supposedly less hostile, will give its
sanction and that Mr.. Taft win give
his signature.

Crusade Against Hookworm.

The moment that the Rockefeller
Foundation bill becomes a law. the in.
corporators will announce the en-
trance upon field of labor whi;a,
they say, il fully understood by the
lawmakers today, would furnish a
powerful argument for the proposed
Incorporation. The Rockefeller money
is to be used in paE for a worldwide
crusade against the hookworm dis
ease. The Rockefeller sanitary COM
mission has prepared for the crusade
and it is said that the only thing now
lacking to make the work success
is the assurance of that prestige in
foreign countries which nothing can
give except incorporation papers sane
toned by the congress and the presE
dent Of the United States.
Some years ago when the hook
worm disease was first brought to
public attention by the scientists
there was a good deal OF scoffing.
There was resentment In widely ex.
tended area OF the United States be-
cause OF the insinuation that many Of
the inhabitants thereof were afflicted
with laZiness which accounted for
lack of progress along business and
educational lines. The hookworm was
said to be responsible for this con-
dition Of inertia and when the lazi-
ness was denied the hookworm neces-
sarily was denied with it, complete
change has come over the inhabitants
of the sections where the hookworm
disease exists. The proof, OF the
trouble and its cause has been forth.
coming and now state boards OF
health are cooperating in every way
possible with the agencies established
to replace lethargy with vigor &c.. -
In a recent issue OF the United
States naval bulletin 1t is said that
many men who enlist from certain
states later are invalided home for in
definite causes. such as neurasthenia
and anemia, and the troubles are
ascribed in a general way ito the e.
| fects of tropical climate" The word
now is that most of these men bring
with them into the navy from thei,
homes the causes which lead to their
! invalidism. In other words, they are
afflicted with the hookworm disease.
