These Subscribers to the Wheatley
Provident Hospital Fund Have Paid
Their Subscriptions in Full and
the Total Amounts Have Been
Placed in Bank to the Cred
it Of the Hospital.
AS Subscribers Pay in Full, Their Names Will
be Added to This List.

A few more days and our beauti-
full new Wheatley-Provident Hospital
will be ready for inspection and dedi-
cation which the committee hopes to
make one of the greatest events in
the history of the race in this city.
AS soon as the contractors have turn
ed over the building the ladies'
clubs, fraternal organizations and in
d%ividuals who have pledged them
selves to furnish various rooms will
be called on to install their furni-
ture; then a program will be ar
ranged including all the various So
cial, civic and religious organizations
in the city for the dedication cere-
monies.
The Negro State Medical Associa-
ton, as well as the State Federation
Of Clubs, and the heads of the various
fraternal organizations with their
staff, will be invited to be present
and take part in the ceremonies.
The Ladies' Auxiliary have made
up a great quantity of new linen sup
plies and are busily engaged making
others with which to equip the In
stitution; bills have been met prompt.
ly and the only thing required is that
our people shall pay their pledges SO
that the whole plan of the General
Committee may be carried out fully.

(Anaconda Standard.)

Most old fashioned people will note
with pleasure the protests that are
being registered against landlords who
have the bars up against tenants who
have children. 1t is more gratifying
still to note that city officials in the
widely separated cities of Seattle and
Jersey City have taken up the cause
and are seeking to remedy it.
Jersey City's mayor proposes to
clamp on the limit of taxation on
proprietors where the ban of mo

thorities have indicated only disap-

itself at every turn, and the man with
a family Of children who is compelled
to rent home begins to feel that
he is penalized for having children.
Fine healthy children are an asset
to any nation. Discrimination against
them is not am original American
spirit. The question of children and
lots of them is an economic one, well
worthy the best thoughts of our
thinkers and statesmen. And as a
parting thought let 1t be suggested
here that If America is to remain
true to the traditions OF the found
ers, the rearing of children must not
be left to the poor and the foreigner.

1t seems that the Hon. Fred T. Du-

Hon. Fred r. will arrive on his mis-
sion at an early date. He will bring
with him the instructions to the dem

President Wilson of Senator John F.
Nugent; his rising inflection; and his
pleasing personality He will tell the
democrats of Idaho what they will
have to do.
Politics stand adjourned. The Hon.

per year. While functioning in office
he will perform in the adjourned state

democratic party lin Idaho and partic-
ularly in behalf of John F. Nugent. 1t
Is very happy condition that exists
politically. Politics adjourned means

RAISE THE DRAFT AGE.
ATLANTA constitutional

NNlidutst Aohbtitatioh'I
The war department is considering
a proposal to raise the selective draft
age to 40 years or 10 years above
what 1t is now. and legislation to that
effect may be asked for within few
months.
This is by no means an indication
that the man power strength under
the present limitations is nearing
exhaustion; but the plan has been
suggested simply in the interest of
military efficiency and to equalize the
distribution of combatant duty
among the nations men who are
physically and otherwise qualified to
bear arms.
The average man who has taken
ordinarily good care of his health Is
as strong and as physically fit at 40
as he ever was, and fully as capable
of withstanding the rigors of war. In
fact at 40 he is. theoretically, at his
best; all things being equal, he Is at
his zenith physically, mentally and in
point of age expectancy
1t may be true that a majority OF
the country's 40-year men are on the
down grade, and that the averaeg
among them are not up to the physi-
cal standards of the average men at
80 or I'll but a law including them
within the draft limitations would, of
course, take that fact-if it is a fact
into consideration. Certainly it
would impose no injustice upon men
who are not capable of best service,
while foreclosing just claim upon
the service of those who are
| The man at 40 has half of his life
behind 1t native born American he
has passed through 40 years of peace
with the exception of our little brush
with Spain-during which he has en-
joyed the supreme blessing of Ameri-
can freedom and protection and equal
lied opportunities Why, then, should
not he be under as binding obligations
to defend his country when, in a crisis
it needs him. as is his younger brother
who has all of his best years before
him and who is just mounting the
threshold of his career?
In this country there are thousands
perhaps hundreds Of thousands-of
men at 40 who are strong and sturdy
Of physique, and who would not have
a pretense of exemption grounds to
offer in case of draft under the law If
1t were amended as suggested. They
are men who have never assumed the
responsibility of rearing a family, who
have no dependents, and who are en-
gagged in no more essential occupations
than were thousands of younger men
who were called and are now in uni
form.
Then, why not broaden the scope of
the CONSUMPTION law so as to encircle
them; if deemed advisable, at the
same time broadening the laws in
Idividual exemption provisions as 1t
applies to the men who are more full
of years" than those now included?
1t is every citizens duty now to do
whatever he can best do to help his
country win the war. That is, in fact,
the citizens first duty. And, If a man,
no matter what his age, can serve
more effectively in uniform than in
bomb proof civilian garb, he ought to
put 1t on.

PRACTICAL GEOLOGY.
Scientific Deduction Provided Drain.
age for Chemical Plant.

The science of geology attains one
Of its highest detectives when 1t pre-
sents deduction that points the way
to obtain practical results An illus
tration Of such a deduction was given
In connection with the proposed dis
posal of chemical waste from one of
the new government plants now under
construction at Sheffield, Ala, for the
fixation Of atmospheric nitrogen. This
plant is so situated that surface drain
age from 1t would be difficult and ex-
pensive, and Furthermore, there seems
to be danger that the discharge of
chemical waste into the neighboring
streams would produce bad results.
The problem was incidentally submit
ted to a geologist, who ascertained
that the plant rests on limestone,
kind Of rock that is likely to be honey
combed by caves. He advised trying
underground drainage by means of
drill holes. The plan proposed met
with the usual opposition from So
called practical men," who made the
customary disparaging remarks about
scientific theories" but trial hole
was started close to a small lake near
the plant. and when the drill reached
a depth Of ITS feet and a trench had
been dug from the lake to the hole

WHY GERMANY MUST LOSE.
philadelphia Telegraph)

Germany's only possible way of
winning the war was to win it be-
fore America could get into it big.
Germany must inevitably lose the
war when America has fully mobiliz-
ed her resources of men, money and
supplies.
But while Germany's one hope lay
in victory before the United States
army got to France, Germanys hope
has failed of realization. She has not
won and the time is now too short for
her to win before American troops
face her in full and effective force.
There is no way out of this war
now open to Germany except the
route of decisive and conclusive de-
feat. That Is settled.
The United States Is headed for Ber-
lin and the United States will not
turn back until it has reached Berlin
and there laid down the terms of
peace which we and our gallant allies
will accept.
These spasmodic German drives
against this or that sector of the great
western line represent the kalser's
despairlng attempt to break through
at any cost and to upset the plans Of
the allied cause. They do not promise
half so well as did Lees bold invasion
of Pennsylvania in the summer of
1853 with the greatest army the south
ever mustered
But Lee did not get through that
blue line which Meade stretched in
front Of him on Cemetery ridge, and
from that day the confederacy was
doomed.
Napoleon, domineering, unyielding
and confident at Dresden was but a
few weeks removed from Leipsic and
the beginning of his overthrow. Hin
denburg today Is just as certainly on
the road to his own ruin as were Lee
al Gettysburg and Napoleon at Ores
den, no matter how apparently sue
cessful his army may appear to be on
the surface.
Italy, France, England and America
can throw against the kaiser more
men, more supplies, more money, more
more airplanes and more
brains than Germany, Austria, Turkey
and Bulgaria can muster against us.
The German has always been a
weak defensive fighter and when our
allied offense starts, as 1t will start
when the United States has before
autumn real army in France, then
The Hindenburg line will crumble be-
lore an irresistible assault from the
Adriatic to the North sea.
When 100000 Americans lend |
heir money to their country as they
lid in the last Liberty bond CAM
,aign. and when in fortnight they
will have contributed $500, 100000 as a
rec gift to war charities, thing I'M
,aralleled in all war annals, 1t is no
ime for Americans to grow despond-
mt
The man to worry now is the kaiser
nd he above everybody else in this
orld knows 1t.
The blaring notes of every Ameri-
an band that lands on French terri
cry sound the Prussian tyrant's GER
ain doom.

SHORT TARIFF SPEECH.
(American Economist.)

I'VE have had democrats in this
country" claimed young orator,
"who could make as good a tariff
speech in five minutes as some of the
best republican takers could make in
an hour" He glanced at republican
oil hoary head, and asked, Isn't that
so?"
A reminiscent look came into the ole
mans eye Maybe you're right
there" said he. IT'S somewhere about
thirty years since David b. Hill said:
One cannot make converts to free
trade in cities black with the smoke
of fires that would never have been
lighted had it not been for tariff
That was a pretty good short speech"
But as the negro evangelist said
1T threw GOODNESS over de meetin.'"
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1918-06-27

We expect. as a matter Of course,
that our soldiers and sailors will do
as they are ordered. We oftentimes
do not think 1t necessary to do what
our government asks us to do. why
should we not be just as prompt in
our response? Our men are ordered
to expose themselves to the guns of
the Huns. We are asked only to save
and to loan our savings to the gov
eminent. Can we refuse this request?

Cd. M. Henderson in Chicago Tribune)
The soldiers Of the common tasks
They do not dwell in tents;
In house and school, in shop and field.
Arise their battlements.
They do not wear warriors dress.
Nor march to thrilling drums.
Yet mighty in their lowliness,
They fight till wrong succumbs.
The soldiers of the humble deeds.
Who save the light and heat;
Who keep with Joy the holy fast
That gives the starving meat;
The woman whose swift needles clothe
The bearer of her lance:
Yea, ever praying, toibing heart
Defends our flag in France!
The soldiers of obscurity-
They hide their wounds and grief
And guard against despair and doubt
The forts of their belief.
They keep the faith, for on them
rests
Their great republics fate
From them Its heroes draw the
strength
To shield and save the state!
