A Tuberculosis Hospital Wayne county needs a tuberculosis hospital. The state laws now provide a way in which our country can obtain such an institution and the county commissioners should not delay nor hesitate to take steps promptly to found one for this county. We believe Dr. S. E. Bond's statistics on the prevalence of this dread disease in Wayne county are conservative in the main. It has been a matter of common knowledge that this county's death rate has been extremely high almost as high as in such congested population districts as are represented by cities like New York and Chicago. County health statistics show that forty-five people died from tuberculosis in Wayne county in 1911. The number rose to fifty-four in 1912. And, as Dr. Bond said, probably two hundred fifty people altogether are afflicted with tuberculosis in the county at this time. Every person afflicted with this disease is a menace to the health of all the rest of our inhabitants. Each tuberculosis sufferer is an incubator for the germs that cause the disease and, under existing conditions, can readily transmit it. The loss of time from work that all tuberculosis sufferers must undergo and the many persons claimed by death through this disease, mark a distinct economic loss to the community. Especially so when it is realized that proper preventive and curative measures will almost eliminate the disease from our midst. Such would be the result of a properly equipped and well managed tuberculosis hospital in Wayne county. It is proposed to make an initial expenditure of $25,000 for the hospital. It is felt that such a sum will be adequate for the work in this county. If such an institution will aid in combating the great white plague, that has spread its devastating talons on at least one member of many of our families, it will be cheap at the price. The Palladium unreservedly approves of favorable action on the part of the county commissioners and council in bringing this great boon to the healthy as well as tubercular citizens of Wayne county. It is in line with the modern scientific and humane idea of combating death and disease in all their aspects; of obtaining for humanity a healthful and therefore pleasant existence.

SOCIAL CERTAINTIES

community would soon go under In competition with other communities; folks would move away to Dayton or Newcastle where people were intelligent enough to know how to do things and they what would my house be orthNot $3,500. The churches help. too. Here a chorus will go up, the anvil chorus; they will assert that the churches have nothing to do with it; but they have. Every church is an economic asset. Every church makes a town more habitable, more interesting, and influences toward moral stability and dependency without which no community could long hold together. When the preachers preach and the Sunday school teachers teach from their little leaflets all are adding something towards that item of wealth represented by $3,500. Shall we forget the firemen or the police. What would any building be worth in a city of this size without fire protection? The firemen sit around a great deal and don't seem very productive, but their worth to the community would soon become apparent were they all to move away. And as for the police, we couldn't live without them, slow as they may all be. It isn't what the policeman does that counts, it's what isn't done because he may happen to be about. Were police and fire protection to be taken away from my house it would rapidly sink in value so that it would not be worth $3,r00 though all the boards and bricks and paint would remain as before. And what would a building be worth were it not for the streets, the sidewalks, the water works, the telephone system, the railroad through the city, the telegraph lines, the street car system (yes, even ours), the grocery and dry goods stores, the theatres and photogfaph galleries, and the neighbors? Take any one of these away and you have cut down the worth of my house. Plainly enough an item of wealth is a very complex affair, the more complex the more we go into it. All the forces in the community that make for convenience, safety and stability add to it. A building, even of marble and gold erected in the middle of the Sahara desert, would not represent as much wealth as my house, and that simply because it would not be surrounded by a community. Most of the forces which go to produce a certain portion of "wealth" are there lacking, hence wealth couldn't be produced. Wiho built my house? Thousands have built it and the community holds it erect and makes it valuable. Every child that is born adds to the sum total of the worth of our real estate and our factories. Wealth is wonderfully complex. And this is one of the social certainties, that all the various forces which make our wealth must be kept in equilibrium and co-ordination. So long as the twenty dollars per month I pay for the use of the $3,500 is divided among them in equivalence to their share in its production we have a healthy and just society; but If one of these producing factors is victimized by another, and receives less than Its share, the equilibrium is destroyed and the house deteriorates in value. Plainly, there is only twenty dollars per month to be distributed among these factors so that If one gets more than its share the others must receive less. And If there enters a force or factor which contributes nothing towards the value of the house but preys upon those factors which do, then each must suffer. And if the community falls into such a state that my house drops from $3,500 to $3,000 I cannot afford to pay as much rent, and the doctor, the preacher, the fireman, the teacher, and all the various laborers will have that much less to divide amongst themselves. What is all this but to say that every productive factor must be eliminated and that we all rise or sink together?

HESTER

"WHO BUILT MY HOUSE?" By H. L. Haywood. IT IS a six room house, this building I rent, and it is fitted with most of the modern conveniences on a modest scale. The man who owns it charges me twenty dollars a month for it and considers he is

giving me a bargain. And he holds the entire property as being worth all told thirtyfive hundred dollars. Everv once in a while

as I approach it from the street the question comes into my head, Who built my house? "Oh. that's easy," you say, "the carpenters built it, working under the direction of the contractors." True enough, but after all when we come to enter a little more deeply

into it that answer doesn't quite suffice. And the reason it doesn't suffice will be made plain if instead of thinking of the building as being merely a structure of wood and stone we think of It as a certain portion of wealth, $3,500. Who created this wealth represented by my house and for the use of which I. pay twenty dollars a month? When we first ask ourselves the question, "Who creates wealth and how is it created?" the answer slips to our tongue at once, "Why, labor made it, labor applied to the raw materials taken from the earth." This answer Is simple and direct and seems to us at first wholly satisfactory. But is that the whole story? Who beilt my house? Lumbermen In Oregonian for

ests contributed a share toward it. quarr-men in Cedarville lime kilns added a bit. paint manufacturers in stuffy pigment mills helped, brick makers digging into their damp clay pits made substantial contributions, mill workers in noisy lumber mills also helped, steel workers and hardware men made the nails and screws that hold it together, carpenters fitted the boards and nailed them tip after the stone masons had finished the foundations and then painters and varnishers finished it when the carpenters were through; they were followed by plumbers and electricians and gas men, and they by sodders. They were followed by and so forth, and so forth. When one goes to enumerate the laborers who contributed toward the building of my house he strikes an almost endless chain. And back of these were the thousands of their predecessors in all the trades, inventors and improvers of methods who made their labor possible. Plainly enough there are many finger-prints on my house, finger-prints of men long dead. These men, these unknown brothers, erected my house, the structure that may be measured and photographed, the building of brick and stone and wood. But is that all which constitutes that portion of wealth which Is symbolized as $3,500. Is there nothing else to my house? Certainly, there is. The doctors of the community help make this building worth that amount. Were they not here working away at all times of the day and night stalling back diseases whenever they appear what would my house be worth Not much. In a few months epidemics would break out and contagious maladies would sween over the city and make it uninhabitable. And then what would my house be worth? Not $3,500 by any means. And our friends, the school teachers, here and elsewhere, contribute to that sum. Were they not laboring here in our midst each drilling a little of "readin", writin' and rithmetic' Into the heads of boys and girls this

When maidens such as Hester die, Their place ye may not well supply, Though ye among a thousand try With vain endeavor. A month or more hath she been dead. Yet can not I by force be led To think upon the wormy bed And her together. A springy motion in her gait, A rising step did indicate Of pride and joy no common rate That flushed her spirit. I know not by what name beside I shall call; If 'twas not pride It was a joy to that allied She did not inherit. Her parents held the Quaker rule Which doth the human feeling cool; But she was train'd in Nature's school, Nature had blest her. A waking eye, a prying mind, A heart that stirs, is hard to find; A hawk's keen sight ye can not blind, Ye could not Hester. My sprightly neighbor, gone before To that unknown and silent shore, Shall we not meet, as heretofore, Some summer morning, When from thy cheerful eyes a ray Hath struck a bliss upon the day, A bliss that would not go away, A sweet forewarning? Charles Lamb.

"The Man From Home." The central character in "The Man From Home," which the Francis Sayles players will offer at the Murray all next week, is an elongated Indiana lawyer. Kokomo is his home, and Pike his patronymic. The play was presented on the road for five years with William Hodge in the title role, and proved to be one of the greatest plays of the day. Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson, both prominent in the realm of literature, are the authors. Mr. Sayles will give the play an elaborate production, and each member of the company will be seen tc better advantage than in any play yet presented.

"Brewster's Millions." How to spend one million dollars in a year without giving it away and without telling any one what you are trying to do. is shown in "Brewster's Millions," which the Francis Sayles players will offer at the Murray, following "The Man From Home."
