aL EAvlNe OUT IHE Items,

Davenport Democrat: A Bethle
hem, Pa, woman recently asked that
no mention of her death be made in
the papers, and the result was that
her death was mentioned In 2l,744
American newspapers. and they are
lstili passing the item along the line
The incident points out the truth
that so many people fail to realize
that the best way to avoid being con
spicuous is to leave the newspapers
free to treat you just as they treat
Everybody else. :.
The person who wants the death oil
a relative of prominence dismissed
with a four-line announcement, is in
Iviting comment just because such a
course is entirely unusual. The man
or woman who wants this or that
item left out of the paper" is sim
lpIy starting the neighbors to wonder
ing why it don't appear, and to dis
Icussing 1t across the table at the cafe
Tor in the sewing circle.
Don't feel that it makes you unduly
conspicuous to have your name ap
Ipear in print The person whose
name doesn't appear in print nova
days either isn't doing much or is a
proper object of suspicion.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

"One chief cause of business hesita-
ton. at the present time" says Hen
ry CIews, in his weekly New York
letter, "is the new tariff and its pos
sible effect upon values. 1t is well
understood that the bill as passed by
the House will seriously affect few
special interests, and there is strong
hope that the extreme cuts will be
modified in the Senate before the bill
becomes law. Business as whole
will not be largely affected by the
new bill. AS long as uncertainty
lasts, however, commercial transac-
lions must be limited to actual re-
Iquirements. When the bill is finally
signed business thus held back will be
rushed forward and we may antici-
lpate prompt return to more normal
lactivity. Larger imports are newt
able. The income tax feature of the
bill is creating increasing friction and
opposition, although not serious in.
Icubus as yet upon business transac-
tons The most encouraging feature
in the business outlook is the excel
lent crop prospects. From nearly all
ports of Boz the country come advices
stating that the soil has had abund-
ant moisture and that all the crops
promise a splendid start under most
favorable conditions. Should pres
ent crop expectations be realized,
there is no question but that they will
largely Offset depressing tendencies
in business affairs, especially when
the tariff is out of the way. Other
favorable business indications are the
decrease in idle cars and the reduc,
ton in stocks of copper"

THE BLACK PLAGUE.

According to the Des Moines Capt.
tai, DIR. F. J. Jarvis, of Oskaloosa'
created the real sensation OF the
Sixty second annual convention OF
the State Medical Society with well
written paper in which he declared
that:
Nearly eighty per cent of the
men today are either suffering
with black plague or have been
afflicted with the disease"
DIR. Jarvis statement was ques
toned by some physicians. How
ever. it was the real sensation of the
session. A carefully written paper
and pointed out the effects of the dis
ease and told of its terrible effects
on the human race. -,....
The keynote of the paper was that
legal steps should be taken to pre-
vent the marriage of persons VINO
are not cured. He argued that the
physicians should see that some &C
ton is taken to bring all sufferers I'm
der tue law. $751;. 49,.
The following epigrams from the
Doctors paper are emphasized by
the Capital: 49,,
Let us as physicians see to 1t that
the proper legal steps are taken to
curb the black plague. "a $3.50. .s
First, by prohibiting the marriage
of infected individuals: .,a.n ...-,,
Second, by compelling those untor'
tunates infected to continue treat
ment until cured.
Third, by teaching the boys and
girls of our land the truth as to all
yenereal diseases"

G, o. p, REVIVAL.

| Republican reorganization plans, in
volving a call for a national conVen-
ttion to adopt new rules for the ap-
lportionment Of delegates in future
nominating conventions, are progress
sing rapidly, according to Washington
newspaper correspondents. National
Chairman Hilles is said to be agree
able to the scheme. From New York
he has just issued call for the first
meeting of the executive committee
of the republican national committee
| to be held since the November cleo
,tion. The meeting is set for May "a
| in Washington.
Southern members of the national
committee and delegates from the
territories will not take kindly to the
Idea of changing the rules of represen-
tation in future party gatherings, and
this opposition to the proposed chang
les comes close to the halfway mark.
Matters, however, are tending more
and more toward the carrying out of
the plans. a.
There never can be another republi-
can conventional the party is to sur
lvive its last setback according to some
conservatives, on the same basis OF
representation and under the same
rules pertaining to the election of dele
gates as those held in the past. II is
pointed out that Roosevelt's complaint
about the last convention was just
sas a. general proposition. but the
trouble with Roosevelt was that he
wanted to change the rules for his adj
vantage while the game was being
played Z
In other words, Roosevelt insisted
on unseating the delegates chosen, in
accordance with the rules of the party
that prevailed from time imnemorial
and to seat those elected by other
methods. 1t is to avoid a repetition
of this situation that leaders of both
factions want the rules changed be-
tween campaigns. ~
1t is pointed out that at the last
convention the two delegates, from
| California who caused so much trouble
' and aroused the wrath of the Progress
ives were in reality the only ones from
the state entitled to seats under the
rules.
| The party leaders see the necessity
for change that will not only cut
down the representation from the
outh, which gives no republican
electoral votes in normal times, but
which will allow every state to elect
delegates to national conventions in
1 its own way.
