William Randolph Hearst is great
ly disturbed in mind over the fact
that VIM. Jennings Bryan will be
prominent in the Wilson cabinet. Mr..
Hearst has fits frequently and no
one needs mind him. A government
constructed on his ideals would be a
freakish thing. While Mr.. Hearst is
seeing all kinds of goblins because of
Mr.. Bryan's prominence, the great
mass of the people are well content.
All the lurid, ludicrous and distorted
pictures invented by Hearst or by
anyone else, is not going to cause the
American people to forget the ster-
ling qualities of manhood, the broad
craftsmanship and the wise leader
ship of VIM. Jennings Bryan. They
are not going to forget the 'unselfish
service rendered by Mr.. Bryan. 1t
would indeed be calamity if this
government should ever become a
creature of the Hearst ideas.

Whatever ones ideas may be upon
the question of Woman's suffrage, the
fair-minded men of the nation will
condemn the attitude of the howlers
and jeerers who lined the streets in
Washington during the recent parade
in that city. The fact that the po-
lice force failed to give protection
was no credit to sworn officers of the
law. The whole episode is regretta-
bic, to say the least. Anyway, the
fact that the movement receives such
scant courtesy is no evidence that it
is of the devil AS matter of fact
all reform movements must go
through the ridicule stage before the
real power of the movement is real
lied. Scorn and ridicule do but help
any movement, even when the move
ment is of little value.

FRIDAY, MARCH ID, 1913

Governor Blease is making a spec
tacle of himself in his defiance of
the Columbia city ordinance. If the
Governor of the State violates the
speed laws he should be dealt with in
just as summarily way as the hum
blest citizen. Indeed, high officials
should be held to even stricter ac-
count. Their very prominence is rea-
son enough for expecting them to
be law-abiding.

afflicted. Slowly, painfully, humani-
ty is beginning to realize this. But
there is yet wide room for improve
ment. A hundred years from today
the earth will be vastly more friendly
to its inhabitants for the reason that
by that time the slow-moving mind
will have reached better conclusions
will have become aroused. "Clean-
liness is next to Godliness", was writ
ten quite while ago but the wise
philosopher who wrote it is at last
coming into his justly merited hon.
ors.

Which Adam was always a weedin',
Till Eve by mistake
Got bit by a snake
Who on the ripe pippins was feedin'.

For clothing sufficient to dress her,
And ever since then
It's been up to the men
To pay for the dresses, God bless her.

THE SLOW MIND OF THE
PUBLIC.

The work of all advanced ideas,
whether they be ideas in sanitation,
prevention of disease, improvement
in equipment or ideas in moral re-
form is an uphill business. Such
ideas come of necessity in contrast
with the slow-moving mind of the
public. Men laugh at what they do
not understand, thus seeking to
cover up their ignorance. They
speak in condemnation of any change
which necessitates earnest, honest eff
fort of the mind to comprehend. 1t is
easier to waive aside such matters
with ridicule than to go to the
trouble of Investigating. The lazy,
inert mind, course and without Wis
ion, brushes aside such questions.
These matters finally get into the
public mind in very much the same
way a mosquitoes bill gets into the
flesh of its victim-by persistent and
untiring effort. The buzz and the
sting of these ideas finally enter.
1t will take long time for the peo-
pie to realize, for instance, that the
State Board of Health is performing
great service in the effort to Grad
icate hookworms. Prejudice and ig-
norance has to be overcome. Even
the smallest effort to get at the truth
of this matter would show that the
disease is quite prevalent, that it is
easily cured, that it is wholly pre-
ventable, and that it is a disease
which works great hardship upon its
victims.
For years now the common house
fly has been shown to be a prolific
source of disease and death, such dis
ease and death being wholly prevent
able, and yet the house fly continues
to buzz on, bearing disease and
death. Typhoid fever, to say nothing
of various other distressing ailments,
are spread by this filthy little house
fly, yet in the homes of the people
generally and in the stores and shops
too, frequently, the vile little pest
yoes lazily on with it's disease car
rying unmolested. Screen doors
would cost far less than a spell of
sickness and would add so much to
comfort. But the slow-moving mind
of the public is yet unconvinced of
the deadly nature of the vile pest.
The careless habit of splitting on the
floor of public buildings, in railway
cars and in stores and offices goes
merrily on, while for years it has
been a demonstrated fact that the
habit was a prolific source of disease
and death. Slowly and painfully the
public mind is beginning to realize
the evil results and the filthy habit
is not now So common as formerly.
But there is great need for further
improvement. When one man in a
store or shop is seized with cold, it
is no wonder that others become af-
fiicted in like manner. Expectorating
on the floor, the affected party passes
the illness OH to others who are forced
to work in the same establishment.
There is little doubt now that con-
sumption is passed from one member
of a family to another through the
careless and filthy habits of the one

FINDS FROST PROOF POTATO.
New Zealand Plant Which Cannot D
Affected by Cold.

Affected by Gold.
A new blight proof and frost resist
ing potato has been discovered by John
Harris Of Raethi. New Zealand. The
discovery Is said to be the most im-
portant one in agriculture for many
years. and the agricultural department
of the New Zealand government has
Investigated the phenomenon and ad-
mitted that the properties claimed for
the new potato are beyond question.
Mr.. Harris has been experimenting
with potatoes for years. and some
time ago he noticed a healthy stalk
growing among crop OF Northern
Stars and Ell Dorados. all Of which
were affected By blight. He took up
the root Of the healthy plant and. find-
ing it in a perfect state. began to ex-
pertinent. The result is that potato
now called the New Era has been
grown.
The plant was carefully nourished
and tended, and for several seasons Al
new crop was propagated from the
seeds of the previous crop. The va
riety has been placed under the closest
observation. but on no occasion has
there been the slightest trace Of blight
>r disease caused by frost. though the
crop planted next to it has been black
ened by severe cold and is even now
badly affected.

HIGH COST OF CHILDREN.
Expense Of Rearing Child Increases by
Leaps and Bounds.

Leaps ana 0o00oS.
The annual cost Of rearing a child
has in the last ten years advanced
from $101 to Sl4O or practically 40 per
cent. is among the interesting facts
presented in a report Just issued by
the Chicago Nursery and Half Orphan
asylum. an institution in active opera
ton In that city since 1860.
The asylum has cared for more than
1850 children for periods varying from
few weeks to several years since
1874 According to the report. from
1874 to 1888 the cost Of maintaining
one child for a year was $79.9S, while
in the period from 1854 to 1893 it was
SSS.6S. From 1894 to 1903 this cost
was about sl01.45, while in the period
from 1904 up to the present time it
has cost approximately $4,000 child
a year.
Except in destitute cases, when the
entire expense is borne by the institu-
ton. the parents are required to pay
a small weekly fee toward the mainte-
nance Of each child. In cases Of emer-
gency. arising from illness or other
causes. the fee is RENTED until the
parent IS able to pay.
