, ' ,The Inseot and Disease. Prom the Indianapolis News. Entomology is one of the fertile fields of science, and the discovery of the role of the insect in the, dissemination of disease constitutes one of the most brilliant chapters of preventive medicine. There is scarcely ' a common insect that has not been arraigned at the bar of science, and, surprisingly enough, found guilty of a much graver offense than the mere pestering of sleeping, eating and resting man. The housefly, for instance,

s we all now know, carries disease germs on its hairy feet and deliberately walks on the food of man. Typhoid fever and other diseases follow in its wake. The little fruit fly, the health authorities tell us, must also be accusedIts methods are similar to those of the housefly. People often eat fruit upon which these little flies may have deposited . disease-producing bacteria. House ants, particularly the red ant, cockroaches, house fleas and bedbugs, are all disease carriers, as has been proved by direct observation. It has been repeatedly demonstrated

that bedbugs can carry-the germ of typhoid fever from the typhoid patient

to a healthy man and infect him.

Resurrecting the Old Trail. From the Chicago Post. '

- Kansas is at work, pick and shovel, upon the picturesquely practical work

of resurrecting the old Santa Fe trail. The trail forced-Itself upon the Kanaans. When twelve of the western

counties got together to consider the

question of improving their intercom'

munication by road they had to choose

It. The pathway by which the lumber

lug prairie schooners made their way to the coast, upon which the mails went by relay and over which cattle ,were driven in thousands, was found to be the logically perfect route. Its course was as economically correct as

if one of the great Harriman engi

neers had laid it out. Upon this basis the movement for "good roads" grew until now the Santa Fe trail is to be

made a thirty-foot speedway, running

from Kansas City into Santa Fe. Sev

en counties already are at work on it, and the task goes forward easily and

rapidly toward completion, because a common dirt surface has been found to

be the best pavement. Looks Genuine. From the New York Evening Mail.

THE CITY PA YS. The city of Richmond, acting through the Board of Public Works, has Just paid to the Richmond City Water Works the sum of 17,667.70. as a semi annual Installment of the upkeep of that public service utility. From this fact one would be disposed to gather that the city pays, or will pay, $15,000 per annum into the treasury of that institution. At five per cent the city would appear to be paying Interest on about 1300,000. . The city, as a city, has this little bagatelle to be considered in the making of a contract. It is worth consideration. The water company rests secure in the real or fancied monoply of the available water supply. .' If it wanted to the city, according to good authority, could not construct a waterworks. On the face of It, it can be seen that there is an ethical responsibility to at least the extent of $300,000 (to say nothing of the private consumption of the individual citizens, which makes up the rest of the Income.) This Is balanced by a monopoly of two sorts; a monopoly of the business and of the water supply. Where is the middle ground, and what is to be the outcome? The recent decision of the Wisconsin Commission forbidding the capitalization of monopoly values of this sort is suggestive. Is this tendency to be recognized in the new contract of the Richmond City Water Works in a square deal, or must we all wait until the growing force of public thought In this matter is eventually represented in legislation and judicial decisions? - The Richmond City Water Works is apparently at the present time, according to the best Information ob tainable, working toward this idea in contrast to a former attitude. A settlement at this time giving the city a fair representation along lines recognizing the true status of public utilities, particularly in their relation to monopoly taxation, will save much trouble and friction in the future. ; ' ., ' l; ; v" ..: The now famous remark of Mac Adoo, that the best asset and policy of a public service corporation is "The Public be Pleased," has a true backing. And he is about the shrewdest public service man within a radius of two hundred miles of Manhattan not taking in Philadelphia of course. For It's the city that pays.

PATERNALISM.

Not long ago a middle aged man, possessed of all his faculties, a horse, a house, a plot of ground, a truck garden, and some muscles, together with, a free and charming spirit and outlook on life, was living In the southern part of Preble County, Ohio. Through force of fate or circumstances he was unmarried. For years he has lived In the jcountryside engaged in the cultivation of his plot of ground using his horse, his muscles and as many of his faculties as may be necessary for the proper propagation of cabbages, string beans, corn and potatoes. In the odd minutes while waiting for the sun and rain to do their work this man hitched his horse to his wagon and pursued the ancient and honorable calling of a tinker. He was a joy to all the country round in his tinkering, for be kpew all the mysteries of repairing copper kettles and broken andirons. Withal, he lived a happy life, despite his single condition and mayhap had evolved a pretty fair system of philosophy in the whiles that he smoked his pipe and waited for the cabbages to reach maturity. In this Arcadian simplicity a neighbor (identity concealed, unknown and anonymous) reported him to the county officials. The Preble County agent of the Infirmary arrived one day with his helpers and removed the Happy Philosopher and Tinker to the Institution Over the . Hills. This was done without the man's consent and against his, will. His horse was sold, his house shut up, his liberty taken away, together with the pursuit of Unking and happiness. What shall one say to this? Has not paternalism run rampant in our neighboring county? Here is a man, who in the colloqualism of the neighborhood had never "been on the township or the county," bereft of his independence and forcibly encouraged to be a public charge, willy nilly. . And now with undaunted courage he awaits the coming of warm weather, so that he may return to his radishes and his free hold. Perhaps in the interim he will have found that he can work out his philosophy to better advantage at the public expense. He may become tainted with the parasitical belief that the country owes him a living. The most of us battling against the world have not arrived at the state where we welcome such overbearing interest on the part of the government which takes away from us the happy life of tinking.and the joy of raising our own cabbages, even though we are single. v A vaunt! If Preble County destroys a Philosopher and turns him Pauper, creates a Parasite from an honorable Free Holder, is human life and liberty and the preamble of the constitution safe?

NEXT TO GODLINESS. The city of Richmond has for years stood out as a conspicuous and shining example of cleanliness. It is not altogether due to city ordinances that the town is clean. Now that the town has this reputation to live up to it is a good movement that has been started to devote the week of May 1-7 to the cleaning up the yards, alleys, gutters and sidewalks. Such a movement argues not that the town Is dirty, but that it is determined to be the cleanest city in the state. : , Inasmuch as this is the time of year that people feel inclined to plant things, that feature of the cleaning can be made a part of it. There are more than several barns, fences and trellisses, that can be covered with good looking vines at the expense of a packet of .seed from the corner grocery and the use of a spading fork and a common or garden rake. That is the constructive side of it the vagrant paper and the dirt we have always with us. ' , In passing, it should be remarked that very small cottages in the city have much better looking yards than some of the residences of more well-to-do persons who could if they would, but don't. This particular form of slovenliness is a worse trait of character than that of the man who keeps several varieties of dogs when his meat bill ought to be devoted to the needs of several children. ' As Richmond has not many of the latter sort ot people the ill kept yards of prominent, semi-prominent and average citizens is not so excusable. ( As a suggestion, merely, it would add force to the riddance of dust and smoke if some of our public buildings were scrubbed on the outside and inside so that the difference were made more apparent. There is no particular reason why this should not be accomplished In the first' week of May. The gain in self respect is a valuable by-product.

Is a Fitting Place.

loiedo is a fitting place to hold a

congress of the Sons, for the region

nearby is replete with historic inter

est. In 1793 the battle of Fallen Timbers occurred resulting in the treaty

with England which saved to the

United Stages the whole Northwest Territory. In the battle of Turkey Foot Rock, Mad Anthony Wayne soundly thrashed the Indians. , Both

battlefields are close to Toledo. The

site of Fort Industry, where a conspiracy of the British with the Indians was carried on against the Unit ed States, is in Toledo. On the Mau-

mee river, is old Fort Meigs, the scene of stirring military events in the war of 1812. Putin-Bay, where Commo

dore Perry won his victory over the British fleet is a nearby place of interest. : In 1907, congress of the Sons was held in Denver, arousing a wide-spread enthusiasm, in the west, which resulted in the formation of four new state organizations in that part of the country. It is expected that the Toledo congress will arouse an etjual interest in the society in the middle west. One of the most important matters to be considered by the coming congress is the creation of a permanent fund, to be held in perpetuity, the interest going toward the expenses of the organization. Steps to build up this fund are to be taken at the congress.

A Great Wrk of Art. It was Apelles who visited the studio of Protogenea In Rome and, finding the artist absent, drew a thin colored line In such a way that the Roman knew that only his Greciau brother could have done it. ; But, not to be outdone, Protogenes drew a thinner line upon that of Apelles, and when this was seen Apelles drew a third line upon that of Protogenes. This panel was then looked upon as the greatest work of art. so says the story, In the palace of the Caesars.

Ted and the Text. The golden text for a certain Sunday school was. "And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit (Luke ii, 40). Little Ted's hand went up like a flash when the superintendent asked: "Can any of these bright, smiling little boys or girls repeat the golden text for today? , Ah, how glad it makes my heart to see so many little hands go up! Teddy, my boy. you may repeat it, and speak good and loud that all may hear." And they all heard this: "And the child grew and waxed strong In spirit like 2:40."

1810-Organization of County-WW

Wayne county was formed in 1810. although it was settled in 1806. It was composed of that part of Dearborn county, lying east of Twelve Mile Purchase. The strip west of the Purchase was not acquired until about 1820. The county business was done by county judges, who were Peter Fleming. Aaron Martin and Jeremiab. Meek. ; George Hunt was clerk; John Turner was sheriff and J ames Noble was prosecutor. ' The first court was held February "25, 1811, at the house of Richard Rue, three miles south of Richmond. This house still stands. The court divided the county into two districts or townships, and officers were appointed for each of these districts. The act of the territorial legislature which formed Wayne county in 1810 named John Cox, John Addington and George Holman to locate the county seat. At the June term. 1811, these ' commissioners having failed to discharge this duty, the clerk declared their duties ended and named Samuel Walker, Richard Maxwell and Benjamin Harris. The natural Inference was that the first commissioners were chargable with negligence, but the following version of the case In- " dicates otherwise. Richard Rue and Ephriam Overman were members of the territorial legislature of 1S10 from the county of Dearborn, of which the present Wayne county formed a part. There were then but three counties in ' the territory, Knox, Park and Dearborn. Residing within the limits of the present county of Wayne, Rue and Overman were active in the support of the movement authorizing Wayne county's formation. As stated above Addington, Holman and Cox were the commissioners to locate the county seat, the law prescribing their duties and fixing the time and place of their meeting, did not reach the court until a month after its -publication. On its reception the commissioners met and proceeded to do their duties., Instructed by the act to fix the county seat near the geographical center, Addington and Holman designated - a quarter section three-fourths of a mile north of the present town of Centerville. Cox dissented, alleging that they were not authorized to select land not yet sold by the government. ' The court sustained the minority decision, refused to receive the report, and appointed three other commissioners, as stated, who re- ' ported, "that the permanent seat of justice is and shall be on the donation of Samuel Woods of sixty-five acres in the thirteenth township, range three, with a small reserve. The court also ordered that the seat of justice should be called Salisbury. The action of the court was denounced by friends of the central location. A paper was circulated (to take the sense of the citizens, in respect to the legality of the action of the court. The result showed 330 in favor of the report of the legislative committee and 150 approving the court Despite this vote the action ot the court, in fixing Salisbury as the county seat, could not be -changed and the town, was incorporated. The citizens believed that the town would become permanent and anticipated a long and prosperous career. In this, however, they were disappointed. The bitter strife between Salisbury and Centerville, originating with the action of the court, continued until 1816. when an act was passed authorizing the removal of the county seat to Centerville. After the removal Salisbury died rapidly, buildings were torn down and the materials used in the erection' of nw structures in Centerville and Richmond.
