Modest Claims.

1t is stated that former Fish
Commissioner Bowers, stand-pat
candidate Tor Congress to succeed
Junior" Brown. is claiming that
he will carry Preston-the home
county of his opponent by if
teen hundred, and Berkeley-his
own home county-by thousand,
and the district by Eve thousand.
An impartial political prognos-
ticator, if he had made as much
at the public crib as the ex-Fish
Commissioner did in the past six
teen years, would feel like ven
turing a couple of Berkeley coun-
ty farms, not spent in the cam
paign for nomination, against a
few sealskins that there won't be
any Republican majority in eth
er county named. but that jun
ior" Brown will. as before, carry
them both handsomely. The peo-
pie of the district intend to vote
to sustain the President by seAd-
ing a Democrat to Congress to
uphold his hands.

Eat Apples. .
(Erom The Wheeling News.

(From The Wheeling News)
The appeal Of the apple growers to
the people Of the country to eat more
apples, which is to be made this month,
will undoubtedly meet with hearty
response. This is question to which
there can be no two sides. Apples are
both healthful and delicious and within
the reach of almost everyone, and that
is a combination hard to beat. 1t is
safe to say that there is not one person
out of one hundred who does not like
good apples. The apple people will
have an easy task convincing people
that they should eat apples. Neverthe-
less, it is true that most of US eat them
only incidentally and not by system.
IAN apple day keeps the doctor
away" is an old and well-known say
ing and it holds great deal of truth.
Apples are not cure for any virulent
disease but they are preventative of
nine tenths Of the ills that mans diges-
tive system is heir to. Therefore let
US not wait to be urged to eat apples,
but start now.

Fine Table Syrup Made From Apples

Following extensive experiments be-
gun last spring, the head of the fruit
and vegetable utilization laboratory of
the Department Of Agriculture has APP
piled for public service patent cover
ing the making of a new form of table
syrup from apple juice. This patent
will make the discovery, which the
specialists believe will be of great val
ne to all apple growers as means of
utilizing their culls and excess apples.
common property Of any cider mill in
the United States which wishes to
manufacture and sell apple cider syrup.
The new syrup, one gallon of which
is made from seven gallons of ordinary
cider. is clear ruby or amber colored
syrup of about the consistency of cane
syrup and maple syrup. Properly ster-
ilized and put in sealed tins or bottles,
it will keep under household conditions
as well as other syrups. It has a dis
tinct fruity aroma and special flavor of
its own.

The Removal of Bowers.

George M. Bowers has been wearing
the halo of a political martyr in his can
vass of the Second district as the
standpat nominee for Congress-, sp-
peallng for sympathy because he was
the first man in the department OF
commerce to get the official boot when
Secretary Redfisld took charge Since
he has been trying to make capital out
of his removal he cannot complain If
Mr.. Redfeld tells the real reason wby
he was ousted. IS Mr. Reddeld has
done within the past few days. 1t was
not for political reasons, but for in
competency and inefficiency that Mr..
Bowers was selected as one of the first
officials to be discharged.
It was always regarded as a sort of
Dolitlcal joke when Mr.. Bowers was
made commissioner of fisheries by Pres.
ident Mckinley, as it was generally uu-

any qualifications he possessed. but be,

to make frequent trips across the briny

Mr.. Bowers may think his removal

berculosis problem, while the proper
carn OF advanced cases Of the disease
receives scant attention. All our eff
forts for prevention have demonstrate
&c the urgent necessity for the segre-
cation Of such patients as the only
sure and safe measure. The majority
require and some would gladly accept
hospital care. They are sources of in
lection to, those around them and they
do not receive the proper care and
attention. The farther advanced a
case is the more dangerous to. his
friends and the community, and there
are many who will not observe pre-
cautions and are: Indifferent to the
fact that they are a source Of danger
to others around them. Their homes
are .unsanitary and very often there
are children exposed to the infection.
They are financial burden at home
ard often dependent upon charity and
are menace to the community. 1t
would appear from the study of fami-
lies that the only effective means of
preventing the spread of tuberculosis
in families is to take the advanced
case out of the home. There must be
a law providing for advanced cases as
is done in other states. Also, law for
bidding the retention of persons suf-
fering from tuberculosis in any county
irfirmary, except in separate buildings
provided and used for that purpose
only. Two or more counties might
join in District tuberculosis Hospital.
The primary responsibility rests on
the state. The powers and duties OF
the cities and counties are defined by
the state This can be done in three
ways:
/. State hospitals erected by the
state, but the expense of maintenance
of which is largely charged back on a
per capita basis to the localities from
which the patients come.
2. County or city hospitals erected
and maintained at local expense.
8. County or city hospitals erected
at local expenses but receiving sub
'sidy or grant from the state toward
the cost of maintenance.
These hospitals should be sufficient
in number SO as to he readily accessi.
BILE to patients, their friends and rela-
tives.
The duty of the state clearly in
cludes the enactment of suitable sta.
tute under which the establishment OF
local hospitals on the most advantage
Gus basis is encouraged This statute
should clearly define the method, by
which such hospitals are to be estab
lished and the official responsibility
of their management. 1t should com
pletely sever them from all connec,
tion with pauper institutions and with
poor law officials.
1t is the duty of the state to see that
tuberculosis is prevented, and hospi
tails are the most efficient means.

Editorial in the New York World
The World trusts that Mr.. Bryan i
rignt Wien ks predicts thar rEfs wfls0n
Administration '.is to receive IN the
nation vote Of confidence
This is the most important issue in
the campaign, and such vote Of con-
fdence in the President can come only
through the election Of Democratic
House Of Representatives
It is unfortunate that a President
placed in the position that Mr.. Wilson
has been placed by circumstances is
obliged to make his appeal for public
support through the medium Of parti-
sanship; but there is no other method
known to American politics by which
the people can signify their confidence
and faith in a Chief Magistrate.
We do not pretend that Democratic
Congressman are wiser or more honest
or more patriotic than Republican Con-
gressmen. or that they are actuated by
loftier ambition to serve the country
We do not pretend that Democratic
candidates on the whole are better men
or more trustworthy men than their
Republican opponents. But we do be-
lieve that Mr.. Wilson has proved him
self one of the great Presidents in
American history, and that his admins.
tration has marked new era in Ameri-
can politics. We believe also that he
is entitled to a Congress that is in
avowed sympathy with his principles
and policies of government, and we be-
lieve especially that he deserves the
unyielding support of the American
people in this great world crisis. That
support can come only through the tri-
umph Of the Democratic party in the
fall election
A Democratic defeat would be the
defeat Of President Wilson. It would
be 50 interpreted throughout the world
Such a defeat would greatly weaken
the Presidents influence abroad. 1t
would likewise impair the power of the
United States when the time comes for
the restoration of peace. Issues of
vital Importance to civilization are in
the Presidents hands, but these issues
will be torn from his hands unless the
American people prove that bis ideals
are their ideals and that his purposes
are their purposes. A President of the
United States who had been repudiated
at the polls could not be expected to
weld much influence in London and
Berlin and Paris and st. Petersburg,
Vienna and Tokyo.
In this campaign President Wilson
represents much more than the Demo
cratic party. He represents democracy
itself. He is today the most command
ing representative of democracy among
ali the leaders of the nations. and the
confidence that the American people
express in him on election day will be a
measure of the confidence they express
in the efficacy of their own institutions.
The President is not playing politics
with the grave questions with which I e
is dealing. The American people in
turn should not clay politics with the

Few economic principles are better
recognized than that the division Of
labor leads to greater efficiency and.
fhenee, - ibtssassd production. Yet
when the question Of exchange is up.
principles are forgotten and experience
iznosed. and we'll meaning men set out
to solve the economic problem through
the elimination of the middIeman. The
middleman Is merely specialist, like
the trucker; and be exeeIs in exchange
just as the trucker excels in gardening.
He might grow his own onions, but he
can get more onions with a given effort
by combining his attention to selling and
buying, than by raising them. So the
trucker could sell his onions. but he
can get greater return for his labor
by combining his attention to raising
them and letting SEINE specialist sell
them. Exchange. that is. the getting
of the thing produced to the consumer,
ia distinct and separate stage in pro
duction. Naturally the men who de-
vote alltheir attention TO it can do it
better than those who divide their at
tention with other things Consequent
ly the middleman effects the exchange
of onions from trucker to consumer
cheaper than anyone else can
Since the middleman can carry on
this exchange cheaper than any one
else can, one or two things must fol-
low: Either he does do it, or he is
making an inordinate profit And since
his business is open to the competition
of all who wish to enter, it is quite evil
dent that his gains can not rise above
the general average of profits; hence
he must be rendering the service at the
lowest margin of cost. What causes
confusion is the same thing that made
men think the earth was flat it looks
so. II seems absurd to the casual OBJ.
server that it should cost as much to
get bunch of onions from garden to
table as it did to grow them. But this
is not matter for city councils, or
college professors, or house keepers ia
determine. The only way is t, do it.
Let any one raise onions and let any
one sell them. The ones that can do il
best will undersell and run out those who
do it less well, and in the end each per
son will be found doing the thing for
which he is best fitted. Barring the
element of monopoly we now have an
ideal system of co operation, iii which
the several workers, both in direct pro-
duction and in exchange, are doing
what is best for themselves and for
their fellows. The mischief is all
caused by monopolies; that is, by the
states giving certain individuals the
power to charge their fellows price
without rend ring them correspond
ing service. The high cost of living is
not to be solved by eliminating the
middleman, but by removing the mo.
