The Death of Maj. Gen. Gorgas

To Maj. Gen. Gorgas fall none of the honors

usually ascribed to the achievements of great warriors and statesmen, and yet the world today mourns his loss and pays him a tribute far more

sincere than the empty honors it sometimes be

stows in recognition for victory on the fields of battle or in the realm of diplomacy. Maj. Gen. Gorgas conquered yellow fever, once the plague of the seas, by working on a theory ridiculed by some and scorned by many men in his own profession. Believing that a particular variety of mosquito conveyed the disease, ,Maj. Gen. Gorgas put his faith to the test in Cuba, banished the dread disease from that island. . -

Transferred to Panama during the canal con

struction period, he rapidly cleaned up the zone,

reducing the deaths among the. workers from

malaria to a minimum and bringing about a death rate in that district which was lower than in many communities where sanitary laws had been on the books for many years. If the engineers actually constructed the canal, it was Maj. Gen. Gorgas who enabled them to stay on the job. Attempts of the old French companies

to prosecute the work had been handicapped im

mensely by the high death rate.

His successes in Cuba and Panama attracted

the attention of the whole world. Soon other governments asked our government for his services to help them clean up danger zones. He was a pathfinder in the prevention of diseases in the

tropic zones and a benefactor of mankind.

Seldom do distinguished honors fall upon the medical profession. -They work for years, searching zealously, devoting years to the elimination of false theories and the discovery of true ones. They are not the centers of attraction nor the recipients of public attention. Usually a tardy world recognizes their worth only when death has called them into the beyond. The career of Maj. Gen. Gorgas is an inspiration for them and his painstaking work keeps alive the spirit of the true scientist and benefactor of his fellowmen.

I don't believe that all stenographers are poor spellers nor that all telephone girls listen to telephone conversations. Most of them are not worth listening to.

A LITTLE PHILOSOPHY Time is simply a mixture. The things which we gain and the things which we lose, are but a part of the all. Losa dissolves in exactly the same way as does gain. Both poor and rich lie down to their slumbers alike. A hundred years from now, nobody's troubles will matter.

I Theodore Roosevelt was seen by appointment by two representatives of the Young Men's Business Club of this city, and presented with the invitations signed by 5,000 Wayne county people asking him to come to the Wayne county centennial in the fall.

we owe all the thrills of our being. From the whiteness of winter's sleep awakes the brilliance and beauty of spring and summer. And in the end. these mortal natures of ours and all the endless shapings of the world creep back to their mother Earth! Then why worry? Why fret? Why complain? Why envy? What has been is gone. What Is is. Mind not another's wrong doing, or another's wondrous fortune. Do you know the place where lies the mold which made you what you are and is there to be another in form and exactness like unto you? You have a path. Follow its lead to

the end. Or else make one that fits your feet. There are millions of worlds bigger than the one on which we play and work. In comparison, our world is but a speck in a tub to the vast area in which it rolls and rolls. No wonder the psalmist exclaimed: "What is man that Thou art mindful of him!" In the end we get only what is our own. But only as we honestly seek to learn, to give and to understand, do we get all of what belongs to us. Let us not seek pay for what we do to make the world happier, but rather hope to receive in our own natures renewed pleasure at having given ex-
