TAGGING WAGES HALT PRO.
GRESS

A production increase of SIS per
cent against an increase of but 9 per
cent in manufacturing enjoyment
and l per cent drop in earnings
has caused the Labor Bureau, Inc,
which issued these figures az the re-
suit of survey, to urge employers
to speed their codes that steps may
be taken to increase wages and buy
ing.
Prices, which charts show have
advanced to about the 19IO-1914
level, have ELECTED expressions of
satisfaction from the President, who
has evidenced his intention to CO.
ordinate, if possible, the rise in
prices with purchasing power. But,
according to the bureau in its publ
cation, Facts for the Workers, +"
prices, costs of living and production
have bolted the starters pistol.
The disparity that has developed
between what things cost and the
ability of people to buy has focused
attention on the pressing need for
bringing the recovery program into
a sane balance to avert a fiimsy
boom and an ultimate collapse. To
reduce this disparity, the Admins
tration, according to the Bureau,
precipitously applied the blanket
code.

Eighty-five per cent of Americans
are inadequately housed. Seventy
five per cent live in hand-me-down
quarters bare of modern comforts
and conveniences. Where our an
nual building expenditure in 1928
was $1,000. 900, 900, it was only two
billion last year.
There are sound indications that a
major building revival is on its way.
Men are going back to work, and
dollars are finding their way into
pockets from where they will 60 to
buy the necessities of life. A good
part of those dollars will either be
used to repair or build.
This means employment. and en-
ployment and investment are better
and cheaper than charity.

OFF THE MAP

Don't wait until just before
school opens to have Jack and Betty
vaccinated against smallpox---if they
have not already been pl detected
against that disease. Have it done
now" DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department OF Health,
says to the parents of children who
will reach school age this year and
will start to school in the fall.
"Our State law"-Dr. Riley's mes
sage continues-''requires all child
rem to be vaccinated against small
pox before they can be enrolled in
any public school in the State. The
family doctor is expected to vaccin-
ate every baby and all young child
rem under his care, and the parents
should see that it is done. The
earlier it is done, the better it is for
the child. Until the child enters
school, responsibility for vaccination
against smallpox rests with the par
ents; after that, it is shared with
the teacher. In accordance with the
Maryland Vaccination Law, any
teacher who permits the enrolment
of an unvaccinated child is liable to
a fine of $1,000 for each and every
offense.'
Not vaccinated against small
pox' has been marked against the
name of one out of every two child
rem who have been examined at the
child health conferences in the coun-
ties in preparation for their admis-
sion to school. This means that
several thousand children IN the
counties will have to be vaccinated
within the next month.
I'VE hear so little of smallpox in
Maryland, that unless their attention
is directed to the requirement, par
ents are likely to forget that child
rem who are not vaccinated will be
excluded from school. This re-
minder is sent on that account.
Though there is very little small
pox here, there is great deal of it
in other parts of the country. Dur
ing the last four years, Vermont,
which has less than one quarter of
the population of Maryland, has had
800 cases of smallpox. During the
six weeks which ended on July Is.
Of this year, over $50 cases were re-
ported from various parts of the
United States to the U. S. Public
Health Service. During the three
years ending In 1882, S6,S02 cases
of smallpox were reported in the
United States; 1890 in 1890; 49,
62S in 1891; and 12.7S4 last year.
The majority of these cases occurred
in sections in which vaccinat ton is
not required. N
During this same period, just one
case of smallpox has been reported
in Maryland. There was one case
reported in 1891 no cases in 1880
or in 1882; and none up to the pres
ent in 1898.
"Unvaecinated peope ia Maryland
are as likely to catch the disease, If
exposed to it. as they are in any
other State. Through our vaccina-
ton law and the cooperation of the
people of Maryland in putting 1t into
effect, Maryland has not been on the
map in these outbreaks of smallpox.
We want to stay of the map in this
respect"

First Artillery Chief of the
United States Army

One American soldier, whose career
is perhaps not so we'll known to Am
orleans today as it deserves to be, is
Henry Knox, our first artillery chief,
and a soldier and statesman who rose
from proprietor of a book store to a
national hero. General Knox was one
of the first Americans to advocate a
system of national defense, and this
is a question which is still of great
interest to all real Americans. In
writing about General Knox in the
current issue of the National Repub-
lie, First 1t. Frederick A. Henney,
of the Engineer Corps of the U. S.
Army, says, in part:
at is not easy to understand why
the illustrious soldier, General Henry
Knox, friend and trusted adviser of
Washington throughout twenty one
years of public service, should have
been so inconspicuous in the written
history of the American republic.
Perhaps the towering fame of George
Washington overshadowed the great
ness of Henry Knox, his companion.
There is much in the life of Henry
Knox to inspire Americans. Knox
began his career as a modest militia
man and ended it as a major general
and the chief officer of the Depart
ment of the Army and Navy of the
United States.
"The family of Knox originated in
the Scottish lowlands. His father,
William Knox, emigrated to Boston in
1929. In 1735 William Knox mar
ried Mary Campbell and took up res
idence in Boston. He was a ship
builder by trade and the Konx fam
ily lived in comfortable circumstances
for many years.
"Henry Knox, the American patriot,
was born July 25, 1850. When the
lad, Henry, was twelve years old his
father died, leaving him the sole sup
port of his mother. Young Henry
was obliged to quit attendance at the
Boston Grammar School and take a
place as apprentice in a book store.
"Young Knox, although apprenticed
to strict master, found time to ac-
quire a considerable stock of useful
knowledge from the books in the
store. Among other subjects he stud
led military history and learned to
speak and write French. These SUBJ
jects were most useful to him later in
the revolutionary struggle.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-03-23

against him mounted. Nicholson took
immediate advantage of it.
He brought charges of malfeasance
in his Office as collector in the Poto-
mac district and demanded his dis
missal from the Assembly on the
ground that no priest was allowed to
be a member of that body. The Leg
islature, which still contained many
of Goodies old-time friends, hesitated
to act against him and only when the
Governor appeared before them per-
sonally with a demand for his re-
moval did they yield. Immediately
thereafter Nicholson summoned Coode
before him and stripped him of his
military Offices; then to make the
humiliation of his enemy complete he
ordered him tried for blasphemy.
Coode fled to Virginia to escape this
inquisition, but returned later, was
tried for sedition and convicted; but
the punishment was RENTED on the
strong accommodation of the Council,
which still included many Of Goodies
friends.
1t is a striking fact that Coode
never seems to have lost the friends Of
his earlier years, even though he must
have made their continued loyalty ex-
ceedingly difficult. Robert Mason,
High Sheriff of St. Mary's, stood by
him to the end and once had his house
ransacked by Nicholson's subordi-
mates, who sought there to find in
eliminating papers. Robert Clarke,
St. Mary's attorney, came under the
Governors ban when he refused to is
sue false orders discriminating Coode;
and several other prominent men in
the party came forward with mani
festos refuting the Governors charges
against him.
The sedition trial, however, was the
closing episode of Goods public ca
reer. Afterward he retired to his
plantation and to his duties as YES
tryman. Even this last office was
threatened by his enemies, who made
a vigorous effort to have him removed.
But his fellow-parishioners were loyal
and he retained the position until his
death. Just when this occurred is
unknown; archives and local records
fail to reveal the date. But, in view
of his known physical and mental de-
cline, it may be presumed that he did
not live very long after his removal
from participation in public affairs.
There are so many gaps in the
record of Goodies career that it is
really difficult to appraise the man
accurately. But, DR.. Berkeley as
serts, we do know that, before he es-
poused the Orange cause, he was re-
garded as an able public official by the
proprietary. His conducts of the rev.
olution speaks for his ability as a
leader of men, and his subsequent &C
Invites show him as an active and able
administrator. If, in charity, we dis
miss the last few years of his life,
his record seems to indicate that ne Is
deserving of at least a small niche in
Maryland's Hall of Fame.

Henry Knox appears to have been
a stalwart youngster, fond of manly
sports, devoted to his mothers well
fare, active in the affairs that en-
gagged the attention of the nighbor-
hood in which he lived, and yet with0'
addicted to the study of books as
we'll as men and business.
'This was at a time when colonial
discomfort with the Imperial Govern
ment was beginning to seethe, and po-
litical disturbances were multiplying
in the land.
"At eighteen years of age, Henry
Knox joined militia company of ar
tillery composed of local tradesmer
like himself. Officers of the British
artillery unwittingly trained this COM
pany, little realizing that such train
ing would later, on the field of battle
be invaluable to the revolutionary
cause.
- "In ITO the intense feeling be-
tween the Americans and the British
soldiers quartered in Boston famed
into the street fighting known as the
Boston Massacre Young Knox was
present and used all of his influence
to prevent violence and preserve the
peace.
1.-TWO days after reaching his twen-
ty-frst birthday, Henry Knox, undis-
mayed by the stormy political sky
launched into business for himself
He opened a book store which, ac-
cording to a writer of the time, was
store of great display, attractive tc
young and old, and a fashionable
morning lounge His store became a
great resort for the British officers
stationad in Boston and the inquis.
tive mind of Knox CLEANED from them
considerable knowledge of military
subjects"
