WE SHOULD WELCOME THE
DOMINIONS.

Senatorial statesmen who are
most exercised about those five
votes for the British dominions
are also the same statesmen who
talk the most about freedom for
Ireland-not to mention India.
These same senators verge on
Anglo phobia when talking of the
power and indirect influence OF
the British empire.
These same senators are most
fond of barking back to the spirit
Of '76 and recalling our own
struggle for independence.
Now isn't it bit strange that
they should profess to be 50 SUI
premely jealous Of our own SOW
ereignty, SO extremely glad that
we achieved independence of the
British king and the parliament
in London, and at the same time
should oppose autonomy and
practical independence for the
British dominions,

concerned Their tie to the

Of sentiment with a vague quasi
legal relation to the British crown
which in practical effect amounts
to nothing but a ceremonial and
social bond.
Both colonials and Britishers
understand this. It was only

delphia had the second highest
death rate from influenza in the
country and thousands Of bodies
lay unburied for weeks because of
the inability Of the undcrtakers
to attend to the number of calls
made upon them.
This tale of two cities proves
'conclusiyely that fear is at the
bottom of a high death rate from
influenza, if not from any other
disease. In Philadelphia thou
sands Of people were literally
scared to death from reading
about the flu, hearing about the
flu, being reminded Of the flu
whenever they turned. In New
York similar thousands went
about their happiness: because
they never gave a thought to the
flu Intelligent physicians recog-
nize this psychological condition
and advise their patients above
all things to observe ordinary
sanitary precautions and not to
think about the disease.
1t is well TO hear these facts in
mind in view Of the fact that GER
tain prophets of evil insistently
predict that there is to be an
other Influenza epidemic this fall
and winter. No clearly under
standable reason why this should
be so has been advanced, but al
ready timid people are worrying
over what they consider the inn
minent prospect of the visitation.
If we must give thought to the
matter, let us look on the bright
side Of things.
In this case it is easy to do.
We have twice as many doctors
and twice as many nurses this
year as we had last, and we have
learned much from experience. 1t
is inconceivable t4rat there can be
an epidemic equal in severity to
that of year ago. !
1t is best not to think of the flu
at all. But if it should come, let
us use common sense and not al
low ourselves to be S cared to
death. FL Paso Times.

DON'T BE SCARED TO DEATH

When the epidemic Of Spanish
influenza struck this country last
fall, the newspapers Of New York
City, acting under the advice Of
the health authorities, refused to
play up" the news or TO admit
that there was an epidemic in
that city. Theaters, churches
and other places where the pub

No extraordinary health regula-
tions were enforced. Masks and
spraying were not dreamed of.
And New York had one of the
lowest death rates from influenza
IN the country,
Ninety miles away in Philadel-

the principal story in every daily

Killed at the Bakerton Quarries.

William NJ. Smith, engineer in charge
Of the dinkey engine at the limestone
quarries at Bakerton, this county, was
killed last Monday by collision OF the
engine and a string Of loaded cars.
The version of the accident as given out
at Bakerton is as follows:
Instead of waiting in the switch until
the dump cars had passed from the
point where they were used in an opera
ton known as stripping the earth from
the rock that is close to the surface,
young Smith thought that the loaded
cars would take the switch for him.
AS a result, the unfortunate engineer,
with little or no control over the en-
CINE, crashed into the cars, breaking
both of his legs and injuring him in
ternally, so that he died within the
hour. The body was taken to Harper's
Ferry for burial. The accident was
witnessed by two men, and as their
testimony pointed to an accident, no
coroner's jury will be called.
The victim Of the accident had quite
a war record. He was captured by a
U-boat in the earliest part of the war,
claiming the distinction Of being the
first American taken prisoner by the
Germans. He remained in prison
camp for two years, when he was re-
leased under the armistice terms. He
Immediately came to this country and
tried to get work. On May | he went
to work at Bakerton and was killed on
the fifth. His grandfather, Joshua
Smith, it is said, was the first man to
run an engine over the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad

Starting a Good Thing.

AT a meeting held at the Citizens
fire engine house, Charles Town. Tues
day night, to which the public was in
vited, resolutions were adopted request
ing the cooperation OF the public with
the fire company in the purchase OF a
triple expansion motor truck, prefer
ably Of the White design, at cost OF
S8,4OO. With such truck the opera
tons OF the fire department could be
extended TO the county as well as the
town, as in a very short space OF time
the truck could reach any part OF the
county, and all that is needed for Its
operation is a pond or running stream
of water. Such loss of property as
that at Duffields could be prevented
by the purchase OF this truck, and il is
obviously to the interest Of the farm
er as we'll as the town people for the
fire department to have such an ef-
hcient apparatus. Unless the coun-
try people as well as the town people
support this obviously worthy enter
prise the fire department will have to
rely upon the present apparatus, which
is manifestly inefficient. - Charles
Town Advocate.

Frank Johnson Making Good.

Our friend Frank L. Johnson, form
erly a popular resident of Shepherds
town, is making things hum in his
adopted city of Statesville, North Car
DINA. He has recently completed i'm
provements to his bottling plant there
that make it one Of the best concerns
in the State and has more than doubled
its capacity. From the Statesville pa
pers we learn that he is active in pub
lie affairs. He is a director in and
vice-president Of the Home Building
and Loan Association; he has been
made treasurer Of the campaign COM
mittee in charge of the Salvation Army
drive; and he is prominent in move
ment to erect a community building as
a memorial to Statesville's soldiers and
sailors in the great war. That his
business is prospecting is shown by the
fact that he paid income taxes last
year on over 5000 net profits, and that
this year very large increase is al
ready maniiesting itself. The friends
of good old "Bud" in this neighbor'
hood will join with US in wishing him
great success and prosperity, and we
hope he will soon come up this way and
swap a few with "Bill."
