SUNDAYS YESTERDAYS

May II, 1749-Edward Jenner was
born in Berkeley, Worcestershire,
son of a minister, At years before he
began an Immortal by establishing
that a person could be made immune
to disease artifically, by being given
an attentuated form of the disease.
For generations, Worcestershire
folk had been saying that if you
caught cowpox from COW you could
not have smallpox, but the doctors
pooh-poohed them until DR.. Jenner,
country practitioner, investigated.
Then they pooh-poohed DR.. Jenner.
He stirred up furore by using two
children, including his own infant, in
vaccination experiments, and even
medical men Joined in the campaign
for laws, against vaccination!
While England was still belittling
Jenner's theory" Germany made his
birthday holiday, in recognition OF
his achievement
No recognition was given him, how
ever, AS the author of an ode ITO a

gambled on meatiness. Most folk read
speeches then; actual audiences were
comparatively small. For example,
William j. Bryan was spellbinder
to those who could hear him, but he
did not overly we'll stand analysis. 1t
Is of record that he regularly was
beaten when it came to showdown.
But, today with the whole country
listening in "on the air" and few per-
sons bothering to do any studying
afterWard, it may be different.
Political calculators frankly are
puzzled
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
On the whole, the betting is on the
radio.
AS newspaperman maybe I
shouldn't say this
Well, 1 don't mean to admit that
the newspaper is a sack number. For
news, the public still turns to news
papers.
But for speeches the radio has a
certain hardness.
Illustratively, take my own case:
In the pre-radio era I listened face
to face, to many political speakers.
Having done so, I did not have to
read the text of their addresses in
print subsequently, Most folk did,
however, not having heard, they had
to read.
Now I do not have to attend so
many political meetings. 1 can tune
in and hear what is said as we'll as if
I were present. True, I try to check
UP later between the inspiration of
mellifiuous accents and the sense of
what was said. But that is one of my
professional duties; am an excep-
ton. I think that the average indivi-
dual gulps down the mellifiuous ac-
cents and never afterward questions
whether or not they meant anything
WRITER'S SUMMARY
President Roosevelt's speeches in
Baltimore and New York, his latest
ones, are recognized as having been
masterpieces of talk but as indicative
of nothing in particular n~ "a
Governor Landonp had something to
say but didn't say it very well.
But it was goodwin print.

prisoners for bringing 'em back
alive if possible and the knowledge
that if they do not surrender when
cornered that our guards have orders
to shoot" Pitts said. ''The guards do
not have orders to shoot to kill ex-
cept in extreme cases, but they do
have orders to shoot to wound a man
enough to stop him if he tries to run
or if he tries to attack a. guard or
truck driver" -
Still another factor in the reduction
of escapes is the fact that guards are
held accountable for escapes and, that
in most cases whenever prisoner
goes, the guard goes to-by being fir
ed, Pitts said. The guard who was on
duty when four prisoners assaulted
a truck driver Wednesday and mad
their escape in a road truck, has al
ready been fired. And the four pri-
soners. have fSeen recaptured, two be-
ing taken that night and two Thurs
day morning, with the assistance of
bloodhounds.
"The prisoners are realizing that
they can't get away with trying to cs-
cape and that it is good sense to be-
have themselves and serve out their
sentences" Pitts said.

things advocated by DR.. Mcdonald.
cit is true that DR.. Mcdonald also
proposed to levy an occupational tax
on every person in the State earning
$40 a week or more, with minimum
tax of SIS ranging up to maximum
of 5000 a year. 1t was proposed to levy
this burdensome tax ON farmers with
small incomes, clerks, day la!corers,
mill workers, stenographers and the
thousands of persons with small in
comes who do not come under the
State income tax law.
But even. if the General Assembly
would enact all Of these proposals in
to law-the 1885 General Assembly, of
which DR.. Mcdonald was member,
refused to enact any of them-they
would still fall short by millions Of
dollars Of providing enough revenue
to carry out his program. This would
leave only two courses open to DR..
Mcdonald, both of which would be
suicidal:
81. Place heavy, Statewide tax on
land.
20. Run the State into debt by bor-
rowing money"

all the property of the deceased was

The English at the time had law

TODAY,S YESTERDAYS

May Is, 18O1-William H. Seward
was born. Twice fate robbed him of
the presidency. Then the Republican
national convention met in Chicago
on his 59th birthday, he was the most
conspicuous candidate, and on the
first ballot. he got the most votes 173
10 to his nearest rivals 102. A dark
horse, one A. Lincoln, eventually won
the balloting and the office. Again,
in 1865, when Lincoln was assassi-
mated, Vice President Johnson was
likewise the target of the plotters.
Their plans miscarried, Johnson es-
capped, and Seward, who as Secretary
of State was next in line of success
sion to the presidency, was himself
shot.

The additional area TO this dis

time six first order lights which
come under the supervision Of
Superintendent Demeritt and &c
this number will be added two
more. There is also one second
order light which is one of the
most important in this district, the
light at Tortugas.
