Doctors Admit I. B.
Is Poverty Disease

The question Of Health insurance in
the United States has become progress
lively o acute during the finan-
cial and industrial panic under which
the country has been laboring during
the last five years. This is proved by
the following extract from the FEEDER
ated News Service. The unions of
Montana are alive to this situation
as is evidenced by the introduction OF
a resolution that the last convention
of the Montana State Fed. Of Labor
Convention at Helena dealing with
~socialized medicines and hospitals which
the Convention adopted. The Mon
tana Labor News will have more to
say about this in subsequent issues.
1t is pertinent to remark however that
some education has developed at this
session of the Legislature to include oc-
c%upational diseases in the compensa-
ton law of the State Of Montana.
This is not the first time that this
matter has been brought to the at
tention OF the Legislature. The sub
ject is a difficult one for the unions
and working people to overcome owing
to the threat Of the Anaconda Com
pany to require all OF its employees to
undergo a rigid physical examination
in order to be allowed to work for
the Company. The normal and extern
sive death rate due to tuberculosis is
ac~centuated in Montana due to the pre-
valence of the disease known as sill
cosic which is merely another form OF
T. B.
CHICAGO.-CFP) II The richer a
man the less liable he is to tuberculosis
a disease that still kills more people
between 20 and 40 years than any other
cause of death.
This confession that T. B. is a pow
erty disease and could be practically
wiped out if poverty were wiped out
was obscurely made in the middle OF
a session of the 3lst annual congress
on medical education, hospitals and
|licensure at Chicago Feb. 1919. But
nothing was done about it.
DR.. Kendall Emerson, managing dir
ector of the Natl. Tuberculosis Assn.
who made the admission, talked about
more attention to racial and age
groups that show the highest proper
ton OF infection, promotion Of accep-
table standards OF housing and nutri-
ton" but said nothing about making
the poor richer SO that they would suf-
fer less from the disease.
When Federated Press asked the
publicity staff Of the congress for fig.
ures on the poverty angle it was vag-
uely referred to "the charts in the cor
ridor." Not a single chart revealed Z
single fact on the subject. But a wo.

BONUS ADVOCATES STILL
HOPE FOR PAYMENT

A new bonus movement is under
way in Washington and those seeking
the payment of the bonus have high
hopes that ruse my be worked
which will see the cash in the soldiers
pockets before Congress adjourns.
The plan that is to be tried now
seems to be a move to attack the
Patman bonus-recently vetoed by the
President-on to his new tax bill. If
he vetoes the bill then, it would mean
vetoing his pet tax measure on which
he is placing great hopes for his So
cial reform program. If he does veto
it, it is said to be a foregone conclu-
sion that it will not be overridden
and he will have his measure dead as
the proverbial Hector.
Both Democratic and Republican
presidents have opposed bonus pay
ment until the proper time arrives,
but the situation at present looks as
if the bonus people have pushed the
President on to a hot spot.

OBITUARY OF NAN. PLUMMMER

Mamie Sarah Elizabeth Plurilr1er
was born Feb. IL, 1865, and departed
this life July II, 1885, at the age Of
10 years, 8 months, and is days. She
professed a hope in Christ in early
life and joined the Methodist
church at Jefferson where she kept
her membership until the West Jeff
erson church was established and she
moved there, living a Christian life
until death.
She called her brother, Nicholas, ia
her just before she passed away and
asked him not to grieve for her as
she was ready to go and felt that she
would be better off as she woulG
cease from suffering.
She is survived by two brothers

HIGHWAY PATROL
INCREASED

The first of July the highway pa
troll for the state was increased from
81 to 121. The increase was made in
an effort to stop the unusual number
Of fatal accidents that occur on our
highways. A little care and thought
on the part of the driver of cars and
little attention to having vehicles in
proper running condition and the
lights working properly would do
more to prevent these accidents than
any amount of highway police can do.
Since the public refuses to take the
correct care and interest in their own
safety, the state is forced to or risk
the lives of many innocent people.
A report from Raleigh shows that
North -carolina's record of deaths
from traffic accidents this year will
total more than 1,100 if it maintains
throughout the year the pace set dur
ing the first six months.
Eighty more persons were killed
during the first half Of this year than

STANDARDS FOR SCHOOL
TEACHERS

New York City has confronted it's
army of public school teachers with
set of requisites, which, failing in,
will be sufficient to open the exit
door for them from the system.
There is such thing sometimes as
attempting to bind and gag school
teachers and college professors to
such an extent that their usefulness
is,1impaired and the cause. of truth
and freedom and loyalty and patriot
ism is crippled.
But there appears none of this in
the nine demands which the school
authorities Of the metropolis are max
ing upon their teachers.
Here they are:
1. Personal habits-habitual neat
ness, cleanliness, orderliness. ,,
2. Habitual refinement, good man.
ners, tact, courtesy, cooperation, I'M
selfishness. -.
8. Habitual use Of correct English,
in writing, speaking, teaching.
4. Habitual industry, reliability,
honesty, integrity.
5. Habitual kindness, cheerful
ness, affection and sympathy fol
children. e
6. Skill in teaching and in adapting
thorough knowledge of subject mat
ter to the needs of the pupils.
Z. Ability to maintain discipline
and to develop character. -, -.
8. Loyalty to the public scheol sys-
TEN, to the children, to fellow teach
ers and supervisors, and to. organized
society; the spirit Of service.
9. Continued good health, mental
moral, emotional, physical.
These requisites appear to be SC
soundly desirable and expedient that
perahps it would be well for North
Carolina authorities to adopte them

total number killed was 9s6, injured

in the death toll for the first six

The new highway patrol have a
good1y sized job cut out for them and
it is to be hoped that they will be
instrumental in showing a decided
decrease in the above alarming facts.
