troller of the state of Connecticut,
who was quoted as holding that it was
perfectly honest for him at the expir-
alton of his term of office to convert
to his own use a part of the furniture

We should have directors who are
not merely honest, but scrupulously
honest, and who will avoid even the
appearance of graft or privileges; d.
rectors who have too much self-respect
to ask for free passes for relatives
or friends; directors who will not only
not feather their own nests, but who
will prevent anyone connected with
the road from doing So

RADIUM CURE
FREE TO ALL
DR.. James Douglas of New
York Heads Great PhiIan-
thropic Move.

Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-The greatest
radium deposits in the world, it is an
nounced at the American Mining Con-
7anthropists, and will be utilized for
the benefit of humanity in the a11evia-
dion and cure of cancer.
This announcement was made by DR..
Charles L. Parsons, chief of the Blu
reau of the Division of Mineral Tech
noIogy of the United States Bureau
OF Mines. The philanthropists are DR..
flames Douglas of New York City, one
of the greatest authorities on copper,
and DR.. Howard A Kelly of Johns
Hopkins University They furnishes
the money for the purchase of twenty
seven claims of mining land in Para
dox Valley, Colorado-the greatest ra-
dunn bearing ore deposit known to sci
eIce-
Furthermore, DR.. Parsons announced
that the National Radium Institute
had been incorporated to work the de-
posts on the claims. He said the en-
tire undertaking was under the super
vision of the Bureau of Mines, and
that not one cents worth of the ra-
dunn would be for sale. He declared
that every particle Of the precious
metal would be used in the cause of
humanity.
DR.. Parsons said the Bureau of Mines
had evolved an entirely new method
of extracting radium which would re-
duce the cost of it materially. He add
ed that clinics for the treatment of
cancer would be opened in the Memo
rial Hospital New York City. and in
DR. KeI1y's Hospital, in Baltimore.
According to Dr. Parsons, all the
necessary machinery has been ordered
and the work will begin as soon as
possible.

MUST REMAIN REGISTRAR.
Kleiner Says Town Clerk Must Act
For Progressives.

New Haven, Oct. 24-Corporation
Counsel KIeiner has ruled that Town
Clerk Whitaker must act as general
registrar for the progressives until
the election in the fall of next year.
In his opinion the corporation counsel
says:
f'I am of the opinion that your
duties as to enrolment were deter
mined by the vote cast at the gen
eral election in 1912, and they are
not affected or changed by the vote
cast at the election held for city Off
GERS on the 7th day of October, 1913
which was a limited, not a general
election; and that it will be your
duty to make said, enrolment for the
caucus or primary list of the progress
sive party until the next general cleo
ton to be held in 1914

changes. On the other hand, there
is the travelling public demanding
greater safety, greater convenienees,
even greater Injuries, but low rates,
and represented by federal and state
commissions. Some of the demands
on both sides may be just, some may
be excessive. The directors can not
adequately represent our interests I'M
less their own hands are clean. They
can not effectively resist the demands
of the employees which abe sometimes
narrow and selfish unless they are
above working for their own narrow

make out a good case for an increase
in rates if they are saddling the road
with heavy fixed charges, in pursuing
an ambitious policy of expansion. The
employees have their trade unions and
the travelling public have their com
missions, but the stockholders are;
practically reduced to impotence, and

quote from an article written in 1894
which gives an insight into what was
required Of the trained nurse in the
eighteenth century. The article says:
This occupation Is as important for
humanity as its functions are low and
repugnant All persons are not adapt
ed to it. and the heads Of hospitals
ought to be difficult to please. for the
lives Of patients may depend upon their
choice of applicants The nurse should
be patient, mild, compassionate. She
should console the sick. foresee their
needs and relieve their tedium.
The domestic duties Of the nurse are
to light the fires in the wards and keep
them going. to carry and distribute
nourishment. to accompany the sur
geons and doctors on their rounds and
afterward to remove all dressings, etc !;
to sweep the halls and wards and keep
the persons of the patients and their
surroundings clean. to empty all vessels
and change the patients linen. to pre-
vent noise and quarreling and disturb
ances, to notify the steward OF every
thing they see which Is wrong, to carry
out the dead and bury them. TO light
the lamps In the evening and visit the
sick during the night and to watch
them continually. giving them every
aid which their state requires and
treating them with kindness and con

BOTH TEAMS ARE IN
PINK OF CONDITION
A Stiff Fight Expected When
Earlham and Frank
lin Meet.

The Eariham varsity basket ball
squad is practicing hard for the
Franklin game to be played in the
Coliseum Friday night. Earlham de-
feated Franklin on the latter's floor
several weeks ago. Franklin has i'm
proved much since then and the
Ouakers are not sure OF a victory.
The locals will work hard for the
game as it counts in the race for sec
ondary championship honors and they
stand at the head of the list now. The
games of the past two weeks, al
though Earlham lost both times, have
helped whip the team into shape and
very stiff fight is expected. For
the Franklin team the following will
probably play: Forwards, Campbell
and Pruitt; Center, Mullikin; Guards,
Cook and Myrick.
For Earlham the following men
will probably start the game: For
wards, Beery and Wolf; center,
Rowe; guards, Lancaster and VIII
liams.
The curtain raiser will be played
between the Earlham Freshmen and
the Centerville high school team.
About fifty Centerville people will ac-
company the team here.
