OUR INVISIBLE FOES.

A happy state of mind is that
in which we believe that we
haven't an enemy in the world.
There may be good reason for not
distributing such serenity. But
there are, in fact, millions Of
deadly foes about us, invisible, un-
recognized, until it is forever too
late in many instances to check
their depredations.
The invisible foe is ever a mem
ace to life. We may combat the
known enemy-or, if he is too big
for u.s., we may beat a safe re-
treat; but the thug in the dark al
ley, reasons that dead men tell no
tales. 1t is the concealed weapon
that does the harm. The deadly
submarine is an invisible foe, ter
rible in action, and yet the micro
scOpic germ kills morel
1t is my purpose in this series
of articles, to discuss "our invis-
iDle foes" from the standpoint Of
one who has been for thirty-three
years an active clinician, and who
is still so, engaged in the honor
able effort to keep men and wom-
en- fit, believing that life may be
prolonged, and the world be made
better thereby.
It would be an eminently wise
measure if our Public School
Boards would add the subject of
bacteriology to the course of
study, providing at least a work.
ing knowledge of the subject,
which would enable the student to
defend himself against many of
the active foes of comfort and
health, which continually beset
him.
If you, dear reader of this
paper, are interested in health and
its consequent longer and happier
life, for yourself and family, we
shall try earnestly to contribute
by kindly advice CLEANED
from the field Of experience.

A. S. Hopkins was foreman of the
jury and they Immediately rendered
their decision which was as follows:
"It is the unanimous verdict of the
jury that the defendant is a scrub
bull and is rObbing from the county
and state valuable food stuff for
which he is giving no return, and
that he is lowering the standard of
all cattle that he associates with and
is bringing to the dairymen calves
of undesirable traits and habits"
The following sentence was given
by Judge McCue. Before pronOunc-
ing sentence-I wish to say that the
courts verdict is based upon the ev-
idence submitted and on the laws
contained in the Code of Common
Sense, which reads as follows:
1. 1t is ordained that all men who
keep COWS shall receive fair wages
for the hard work entailed.
2. It is further lawfully ordained
that robbers, thieves and other par
asites shall be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law.
8. It is also ordained that such
critters as scrub bulls, rattle snakes
etc., shall be put to death.
Will the prisoner stand up?
It is, therefore, the verdict OF this
court that this prisoner shall be put
to death and that all other scrub |
bulls in Sussex County shall like
wise suffer the same penalty, this
sentence to be voluntarily enforced |
by owners of such critters. warn
hose who ask for postponement or
,tav of execution that they shall pay
laily to the Demon Of Poverty, vast
sums and shall forfeit all happiness

After some difficulty the sentence

and the aspirations of honest men,
bers of political parties. It has be-
come a strong factor in making
nominations, which are not agree
able to people who believe in ser
vice, rather than in distribution of
political plums. In editorial COM
ment on this subject, the Morning
News Of Wilmington, said:
"In many parts of the country the
primary law in practice differs wide
ly from what its staunch advocates
expected. During a recent primary
in Franklin county, Ohio, in which
is located Columbus, the state capi-
tai, one eligible voter in ten partic-
ipated. It is estimated that in the
state at large one voter in eight took
part. The average cost for holding
a primary on this basis was between
$175 and 50 a voter.
"This strange Indifference was in
a state where elections are supposed
to be hard fought and interesting,
not like some Southern and other
states. where it is all so one-sided.
Ohio has a Democratic governor.
Many of the counties and cities are
Democratic. The Indifference, the
apathy is in some respects hard to
explain. And yet it has been in
creasing in many throughout the
'When the primary system was
established we were told that the
voters would appear in tremendous
numbers and make nominations in

washington, September 9.-Behlnd
tho scenes in Washington there Is
verv little evidence Of concern over
tho coal strike, which is the only
real problem at hand. The indlHer-
ence of the public and Federal GOV
ernment is, undoubtedly, source Oh
concern to the warning groups III
the coal industry. Talks with chleI
officials here this week shows that
they are more interested in obtain
ing seats for the forthcoming World
Series and more sanguine of settling
pennant scrops than the wage con-
troversy.
The only hope of arousing the
Government in the coal strike is a
change for the worse in weather
conditions, but at present Washing
ton, in common with other sections
of the country, is enjoying balmy
weather, and operators and miners
are the ones who are really chilled
by the prospects. The indifference
has reached stage where nobody
has seriously suggested calling an
extra session of Congress, as is usu-
ally the case in nationwide labor
There is a possibility that with
the public and Government unmoved
by the strike, the operators and
miners, like any other group of I'M
ruly school boys when they receive
no consideration of their wrongs
either fancied or real, will return ;
% normal. The proposals regarding
of the mines is just t
talk"
The coal controversy has also re-
lived interest in railroads and their {
uture in legislative matters. 1t is l
tated that President Coolidge will
iscuss the administration Of the Y
program with various SEN v
tors and congressman when he re- r
lrns to Washington within few
avs. With the administrations in 9,
uence back of the proposal, consol-
lation of railroads will become n

Of many months Of building will
come to a conclusion. But with the
dedicating of their new building, the

beginning the second period of it's

they have planned and builded well

: The President and Congress il
= their efforts to relieve the railroad
problem, find themselves up agains
difficulties. The advantage of inter
grafton Of transportation lines are
obvious. Some railroads only want
to acquire profitable lines, which
would vitality affect the transporta.
ton system of the country because
it would mean the weaker roads SER
wing sections poor in resources, OF
undeveloped, would be isolated.
There is certain evidences that the
large groups of citizens would be in
clined to disapproVe railroad con-
solidations because of it's tendency
towards monopoly and the fear Of
inadequate facilities. 1t is obvious
that the President and Congress
must, of necessity, educate the coun-
try into the acceptance Of their
views before any legislation Of this
character can succeed.
There are large groups Of citizens
who honestly believe the Federal
Government can do anything. This
condition does not exist, happily for
all concerned. Some assume that the
coal strike can be settled at any
time by a mere gesture on the part
of the Federal authorities, but this
is likewise an unfounded belief.
A thirty years study of labor re-
lations in the coal industry shows
that the coal business is fundamen-
tally unstable. AS a rule, the Gov
ernment has conceived that it had no
jurisdiction or responsibility except
when armed violations exceeded the

cast through ignorance, or deliber-
ate intention to create a false under
standing with the people of rural
communities, with the hope that
some change might come which
would save them as individuals from
paying any part for education Of the
children. They are lying or ignor-
ant, and some of those who talk
against the public school system are
not ignorant-far from it. Happily
for the children of the future in Del
aware, such men are in a minority
and their blatant statements or half
truths, but display their ignorance
to those who do understand and
want the children of the future to
have education for which the tax
payers pay for each year. Their de-
sire and effort to create opposition
to our public school system is not
saving money, but it is injuring the
children themselves. Shame that
people of that kind are permitted to
have part in a democratic form Of

YEARS AGO IT SEEMED, yet not
so long ago, a citizen of Delaware
had a vision of our beautiful State
becoming a paradise on earth. The
vision called first for a beautiful
boulevard stretching from the hills
of old New Castle, to the sand dunes
of Sussex; and he offered to finance
the building of such highway. Men
of short vision Immediately arose to
smite MIN and his great plan for
future development of our little Dia-
mond State; and they succeeded in
holding up this great work for years,
while the courts acted upon ap-
peals taken to them for final action.
Only few short years ago did this
happen; and many of those who op-
posed the unselish project have
passed to worlds beyond; but not be-
fore they had lived to see part of the
wonderful change which his vision
Once completed had wrought. A few
short years and what a change in a
desire for modern highway con-
struction. Coleman du Pont, the
pathfinder and trail blazer, was Ina
igned and damned by some; but his
engthy vision opened the eyes of the
'esidents of Delaware. And what of
he results of this wonderful awak-
just beginning to bear
ruit, but already paying well. Per-
