Your Chance AgaiiKt Tuberculosis Richmond is making an honest effort to fight tuberculosis. It believes the high mortality rate of this disease in Wayne county and in the city can- be checked. It is willing to learn how to do it. The assurance from Surgeon General Blue in a telegram published today that the United

States government will send a representative to

this city to make a survey makes it sure that a practical solution will be presented. The toll of human lives gathered by the great white plague in Indiana is appalling. Figures given out by the Indiana Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis show that one out of every eight and one-half Indiana persons, who have died in the last six years, have died from tuber

culosis. Of the total number of deaths in In

diana in the last six years, 215,402, tuberculosis claimed 25,511. This gives an average of 4,251. Statistics issued by the society show that this loss is greater than the deaths due to typhoid fever, scarlet fever, smallpox, and all other contagious diseases combined. For Wayne county and the city of Richmond,

there is one consoling feature in the statistical analysis, for it shows that deaths from tuberculosis here were less in 1914 than in 1913 j The prevalence of tuberculosis in an alarming extent cannot be gainsaid in the light of these statistics, while the call to arms resounds the louder urging the city and county to take drastic action to curb the death loss from the disease.

The Chance of the Orphan That the possession of parents to guide a boy or girl to young manhood and womanhood is a boon and privilege, nobody will deny or gainsay.

Guidance and counsel, sympathy and comfort from parental source are blessings. And yet there are many men and women who have attained high station and affluence without the advice and encouragement of their parents. When death tore father and mother from them, such persons were left to hew their own way, and in many instances they attained higher position than did their more fortunate companions who had parental love and support. An orphan is thrown on his own resources at an early date. He is forced to "rustle" for a living, obtain his education in the school of experience and by observation. Perforce his wits are sharpened, his mental horizon widened, and often he is able to see a business opportunity much more readily than the young man who has been sent through school and college by his father. Self-reliance is one of the cardinal traits necessary for success. The orphan has it, and he exercises it to good advantage. The orphan and the young man thrown on his own resources early, usually are the "hustling" young men in the community.

County's Early Days

EVASION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW IN ADMINISTRATION OF POST OFFICES

The pledge of the last Democratic platform that "the law pertaining to the Civil Service should he honestly and rigidly enforced" has heen openly flouted by Postmaster General Burleson. Numerous violations of the statute, although called to the president's personal attention, have been suffered to continue without rebuke and are still going on today. The chief evil against which the civil service law was directed was the abuse of patronage by Congressmen. It was mainly by our senators and representatives that the spoils of office were distributed to the detriment of the public service. The law provided that administrative places should be filled as the result of open competitive examinations and that the choice should be made from the three who stood highest on each list as the result of such examinations. Lost even among these three there might still be opportunity for Congressmen to interfere Section 10 of the civil service law was added, in these words: "No recommendation of any person who shall apply for office or place under the provisions of this act, which may be given by any Senator or member of the house of representatives except as the character or residence of the applicant shall be received or considered by any person concerned in making any examination or appointment under this act." I Makes Changes. Now fourth class postmasterships had been embraced in the classified service when the present administration came into power. There are tens of thousands of these officials in the government and their positions are politically "of immense importance. Yet in violation of the express provisions of the law, Postmaster General Burleson has declared that he would consider Congressional recommendations and he even caused such a statement to be posted in all the fourth class post offices in which examinations were to be held;, nor

HOW TO RELIEVE KIDNEY PAINS

I have used Swamp-Root more or less this last few years, and have always got great relief. About three months ago I was taken down with severe pains through the back and limbs, was very nervous and was very restless at night. I began taking your Swamp-Root and before I used a half bottle, I felt great relief, and I kept on taking it until I began to feel myself again. I have recommended it to my neighbors and friends, and several of them informed me that they have been greatly benefited by using it. I cannot say enough for Swamp-Root, and I heartily recommend it for Kidney trouble an Rheumatism. You have my consent to publish this statement. I am 77 years old.

If the number of applicants for these places had been numerous as in most other classified positions, the consequence of this violation of the law might not have been so serious. Where there are 50 or 100 names upon an eligible list and the appointing officer must make his selection from the three highest, the Congressman cannot always get tha man he wants, but in these small places there are very seldom more than three applicants. The reports of the civil service commission show that the average number Is even less than this so that if the congressman's recommendation controlls as among these three, then all the fourth class postmasterships are practically thrown back into spoils politics where they were before rhe classification was made. Called to Attention. The National Civil Service Reform League called the attention of Postmaster General Burleson to the fact that his statement involved violation of the law. Ifls answer was that this

section "is intended to prohibit the consideration of recommendations from congressman based, not on the qualification or fitness of the applicants, but or. their political affiliations, and I hold it to be no violation of this provision to give consideration to any pertinent Information relative to applicants furnished by members of congress not in their capacity of members of a political party but as representatives of their districts and of the postal communities interested in the service!" Postmaster General Burleson's construction, nullifies not only the spirit but the literal and precise language of the act. As President Dana of the National league well observes, "Under such a construction a judge prohibited by law from sitting in a case in which he has any interest might ignore the law giving as his reason that he was not to sit in his capacity of a person interested but as an impartial judge!" The National Civil Service Reform

League then brought this violation of the law to the personal attention of President Wilson himself, who is a professed civil service reformer, but no measures have been taken to undo the wrong or to secure the enforcement of the law. If the present administration had desired to throw these fourth class postmasterships again into the reeking mass of political spoils it could have done this by the perfectly legal method of withdrawing them from the classi

fied service. That would have been not only legal but honest. It would have been a trifle disreputable. But how much more discreditable is it to do the same thing by indirection, by a method which hypocritically pretends to retain these places in the classified system and yet delivers them irredeemably into the hands of spoilsmen? With what consistency can the rulers of our nation denounce or prosecute offenders against other statutes when they themselves thus set the example?

BY 8. B. HUDDLE8TON. William Hastings, who came with the early settlers from North Carolina, settled one mile north of Elkhorn Falls. Hastings, with thousands of early Quakers, had fled northward from the curse of the institution of human slavery and was among the first settlers in Wayne county.After living on fall creek four years he sold his farm here and entered another two miles north of Centerville, in 1811, where soon after on May 2, 1811, Aaron, their son,-and among tho very early white children born in Wayne county, was born. The writer had the pleasure of an intimate association with this good man for a number Of years in bis old age and he was proud to tell us of their pioneer life, of how, in 1812, when the Indian war broke out, through their hope that by the help of England they might drive the pale-face people out of their native forest home. The pioneers on the frontier at Noland's Fork creek, were driven back to the east side of Whitewater for safety. Hastings returned to their frontier farm after one year. Aaron told us how his mother had her iron kettle on the bank of the

creek where she heated her wash water. She . bad a slab bench nearby where she pounded her clothes with a paddle to make them clean. They had a grapevfhe stretched between trees forv a clothesline. They had a? spring quite a distance from their. Cabin where they and a near neighbor got water for house use. Their cabin was looked upon as a stylish home a six-cornered cabin, two rooms in one end and four In the other. The fireplace of logs was framed into one end of the building and it took up one-half of . that end. The sides and back of the fireplace were plasteded with clay mud to keep the logs from burning. The chimney was

built of sticks and mud. A bucket of

water with a gourd dipper sat by the side of the fireplace and it was often

used to put out the fires that , frequently ignited, the logs through the plastering. The floor was puncheons

split and hewn from round logs. Car pets were not. in fashion in those days

Cooking in those days was a serious problem. Mother Hastings would burn her face near to a blister while she boiled her pot swung on a crane over the fire and baked her corn

bread in her spider on the "hearth."
