Long, Constant Work Gains
Its Rewards

IL IS easy enough to DO a great deal Of hard rnhiu
work Il the populace keeps standing around telling Won
what a great man you are while you are doing II. 1t is
ever 50 much harder to keep plugging away without
recognition sticking on a thankless Job whose import
ance hardly anyone but yourself ever realizes.
But some Of the most important work in the world
Is done in precisely that way. And once in a while
the chap who IS doing it does come through. at last.
to the recognition and the b~roadened Opportunity
which he deserves.
The daily newspapers have recently recorded two
cases Of this kind.
First there IS the case Of Hugh Hammond Bennett
Mr.. Bennett has been In the U. S. Department of
Agriculture since 1905. or Whereabouts. Away back IN
the early years Of the present century he awoke to
the menace OF soil erosion and discovered that We were
using our soil so carelessly that we would ultimately
ruin the rich farm areas which have helped 70 make
Us a great and powerful nation.
SO Mr.. Bennett undertook a CAMPAIGN To remedy
matters. For many long years he toiled unheeded
in the Department Of Agriculture. striving to bring
about p. saner use Of our land. He did It 50 long
without any recognition, that he must have felt some
times as If his work were utterly useless.
But finally the government and the nation awoke
end installed p soil erosion service with $1,000 en-
ployes and ample funds and publicity to carry the
fight to victory. And the man who was put in charge
Of this vast Job was Hurh Hammond Bennett.
Another case. Or. William Hallock Park has been
head Of the laboratories Of the New York CITY Health
Department for something like 40 wears. During that
time he has saved heaven only knows how many hui
man lives. kept epidemics from striking down child
rem, and done more than a thousand ordinary men
10 extend the sum total Of human happiness.
He has had the fearlessneSs characteristic of medi-
cal scientists; when a new infantile paralysis vaccine
was devised. for instance, he boldly tested It on him
self. to make sure that It had no i'll effects.
All this time DR.. Park went practically unheard-of
BY the public at large. But the other day recognition
came at last, with the award to him Of the Roosevelt
Medal for Service. tributes from distinguished citi-
zens and columns Of eulogy in the newspapers. He
had 70 wait until he was u, but he finally got 1t.
These are just two sample cases-cases in which the
"~plugsers7 who knew how to stick to thankless, I'M
needed jobs did at last come into their own.

to this fear by evidence that certain
interests we're willing 10 provide Long
with a large campaign fund.
Roosevelt, it is whispered BY one
or two OF those he consulted about
il, was making a personal survey Of
the vote Huey would be likely to get.
He had given up Louisiana and
Georgia Cwhere he figured both Huey
and Governor Talmadge would work
against HIM. according to this tale,
and was disturbed about Arkansas
and South Carolina.
He asked a trusted Ohio politici-
an about that state and was told
Huey probably could poll $4,000
votes there.
AT the time OF Longs death. the
administration was grooming Sena-
tor Bilbo Of Mississippi. an out
standing rabble-rouSer and vote
getter in southern rural regions. to
take the stump against Long in the
campaign.

Facts Win Over Beauty

A good-looking young woman went on trial In Los
Angeles the other day on a charge Of attempted MUIR
der. Somewha to the surprise Of the people who are
interested in such things. a. jury promptly found her
guilty and the judge sentenced her to a one-to-twenty-
year term in prison.
The judge himself found something refreshing in
the verdict. Remarking that it is high time that per
sonable young women such as this defendant should
cease making a mockery Of the law by coming into
court and winning over juries with their beauty"
he congratulated the jurors for remaining undaz-
zled by the beauty OF this defendant"
Would that these remarks could be called to the
attention OF jurors elsewherel A pretty girl and a
smart lawyer. between them. seem able to befuddle
nine Of every ten juries In America.
It is good to see one jury which could try such a case
on the facts and not on the prisoners charm.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IA, 1888

fostered monopoly. And some weeks ago 1t organized
a unit to study the evils Of monopoly, to find out
whether the codes had promoted monopoly. and to
see whether monopolists are flourishing today.
The queer contradiction mentioned by butcher is
the fact that this unit has suddenly been abolished.
Here is a study which obviously should be made. 1t
should be thorough and searching and should be given
the widest publicity.
1t is extremely hard to understand why Washing
ton should suddenly call it off; especially since that
seems to be the one real service which what is left Of
NRA could render to the taxpayers who are support

Democrats are well pleased with
the Republican victory in New York
The losses yer not so great as
expected. And the presidents home
town went Democratic for the first
time in 35 years. This indicates that
a Democrat will be elected presi-
dent in 1886.
Republicans are well pleased
with the Democratic victories in
Connecticut. The margins we're
not 50 great as had been antici-
pated. This indicates that a Re-

Now that the children are back in school and cold
weather has begun, we begin to see evidence Of the
spread OF those infectious diseases that pass from
child to child.
One condition that spreads rapidly and is seldom
understood BY parents is the form Of eruption called
German measles. This disease resembles both scarlet
fever and ordinary measles in appearance. but differs
from them in the fact that it is mild, with a slight
degree of fever and with few serious secondary COM
plications.
Usually German measles appears from 10 to 81 days
after the child has first been in contact with another
who has this disease. Ordinarily, about Is days after
such contact. the child feels slightly III, and then there
is a brilliant rash on the skin.
This rash usually appears next to the hair line on
the forehead. It's brilliant redness usually Is mistaken
for the rash Of ordinary measles or scarlet fever.
The child may have been sick four or five days be-
fore the rash first appears.
The glands at the back Of the neck are swollen and
inflaned, but in the majority Of cases the condition
ton
Because Of the rapidity with which this disease
spreads from one child to another, 1t is customary to
permit the other children in the family to 90 to school
for 10 DAYS after the first child becomes sick. and then
to remain home for the next 10 days. during which
time they are likely to come down with the disease If
they have been infected.
II is advisable. howe yer, for al children in the fam
Iy to stay away from other children until It is GER
tain that they are not likely to Gerry this disease
