Tennessee. a man and Democrat

cial who has proven worthy of the
confidence reposed in him by the
party and by the people of Tennes-
see. We believe it to be true in po-
litieal and official life. as 1t is true in
individual life, that sincerity of pur-
pose and fidelity to trust. are two
qualities that stand out above all
others, like Mars at Perehelion. And
Tom C. Rye, by the fearless and
faithful discharge of the duties in
cumbent upon him. by the virtue of
the platform upon which he was
nominated and elected, has exempli-
fed as a public official those two
qualities. Throughout his adminls-
tration he has consistently, vigorous
ly and effectively fought for temper
ance and morality and respect for law
and for the ascendancy of higher
principles and better customs among
the people.

of Washington county, Tennessee,
Endorse the administration of Wood,

earnest support for denomination and

vention to be held at Nashville in the

LESSON WELL LEARNED.

In military matters we learn slowly, but we
do profit by experience. In the Spanish war,
no sooner had our volunteer troops been assem-
bled in camps prepatory to departure to Cuba
than disease broke out and took deplorable toll
of some of the bravest and best Of our young
soldiers. So far reports from both the border
and states camps tell of good health and excel.
lent physical conditions for our national
guardsmen. Moreover, it is evident that the
war department is alert to the need OF Keeping
these conditions as they are. Here, at least'
there is earnest of move toward military ell
ficiency.

ToDAY,s BIT OF VERSE
THE OLD DREAMS.


Where do all the dead dreams go,
The poor, forsaken things,
Whose shadowy cheeks once wore glow,
those hearts now silent strings
Sang unsteady low?
We used to cherish them, in years
Lang past, when they were young;
They brought us solace for our tears
And the brave songs they sung
We heard with eager cars.
They left us. And we found tear
OF pity for the dreams;
But for ourselves we had no fear;
Yet now sometimes life seems
A little dull and drear.
and though we feel ourselves more wise
Since knowledge came with pain
At times there drift before our eyes
Familiar forms again.
Ghosts OF dead dreams arise.
Weeping, the wraiths OF the dead dreams
Float sorrowfully by;
On each dim face compassion gleamS
And from each hollow eye
Tears fall, like slow mOonbeams.
And often when the fire burns low
And we sit silent through the night,
We wonder-as sedate and slow
The dear shades pass from sight
Where, or to whom, they go.

Don Marquis, in New York Evening

Tense of it and the rest Of the coun-

decided, about the time we were pick
ing the first bullets out of our hide,
to lend money to the man who had
shot the bullets.

AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH PROTECTION, by

A penny in health makes dollar in etf1

forth in the volume which he issues through
the house of Bobbs- Merrill. incidentally, Or
Hemenway's contention upholds the views O
The Gate City, as expressed in the issue OF this
paper dated May 81, last, as follows.
Sickness robs the wage earners OF the United
States Of millions OF dollars annually, and 1t IS
said that seventy cent of the poverty and des
titution requiring charitable aid is raceabe al
recty to i'll health. From this 1t Is obvious mat
good health is mighty asset, not only to work
but to society in general. Sickness is pane
plague that involves not only human sulIerlhg
but entails tremendous financial losses mere
FORE the preservation Of health becomes OF Tore
Importance in the community. Much SICK
ness is preventable Probably it is no exaggera-
.tica to say that average OF nine days OF phys
ical complaint could be reduced to three or TOUR
days If people lived and labored in sanitary en-
vironment and II they were hygienic In habits. II
is worth while strive for these things, for
economic reasons and wholly aside from humane
impulses that prompt US to eagerness in the wish
to save our fellow men from suffering ana oeatn.

| It should require no argument, says Dr.
Hemenway, to convince person that his flnan-
cial status must vary with his health, other
things being equal. If his health is good, II ms
muscles are strong and his nerve supply IS
abundant and well trained, he is enabled to
work hard and long Otherwise he can not ac-
complish SO much work, and it is likely to be OF
inferior quality.
Dr. Hemenway, writing as an expert, makes
a survey of the health protection OF this coun-
TRY and draws conclusions that are OF value, es-
pecially to those having voice in the control Oh
sanitary conditions in cities and small towns
such as Keokuk. He insists that afthough
much has been accomplished in the face OF lg-
norance and inertia, there is much to be cone
before the American public is to get that I'M
munity which science can produce His state
ments of what is being done IN the public
schools, through boards Of health, through state
and local regulation, is important as showing
the progress that his been made within two
generations, and largely inside of one. But, as
he SAYS, there is demand for better work IN
the future The author shows clearly now
great is the Unnecessary sacrifice Of human life
every year, and calls for more legislation as
we'll as higher individual understanding OF
the responsibilities involved.

The men undoubtedly hardest hit by the
scarcity and high price of print paper and the
soaring quotations for other shop material are
the responsible heads Of the weekly newspa-
ners Matters as to prices have reached such
point that 1t is choice between suspension OF
publication or raise in subscription rate AS
between the horns Of the dilemma, up goes the
price Weekly newspapers coming to the Of
flee Of The Gate City carry notices that here
after subscribers must pay fifty cents more
than formerly for fifty two issues of the publ
cations. Selling at loss isn't good business
no more so for publishers than those engaged
