FEICE fl.00 PEB TEAS JANUARY 17. 1913 At a rule city official are liberal with their appropriations for fire and police service, and jusLly so. But when it comes to appropriating money for health purposes, these same bodies are either indifferent or ixrnoranU or both, as to the importance of conserving the health of the people. It is quite natural, no doubt, that the burning of an old frame structure that is an eyesore to the com munity, should cause more excitement than the death of a dozen people from consumption in the same locality; but why not have money and men to fight the white plague as well as to fight fire? Both are important and neither should be neglected. People are as much en titled to protection against sickness, dis ease and death as they are against fire, thieves and hold-up men. Th city that has an abnormally high death rate from the preventable diseases is guilty of criminal neglect in its administration of public health work. Nor is the blame always to be laid upon the health offi cers. It depends upon whether or not these of our officials have been given the men and means with which to carry on those activities that, when properly performed, will safeguard effectively the public health. The ancient Israel ites found they cou'd not make bricks without straw; neither can the health officials of today carry on efficient pub lic health work without money. Thocbakds of women may have to wait for their Spring shirtwaists unless the large number of shirtwaist makers in New Tork City who went on a strike this week are brought to terms. The strikers, as usual, chose a crucial time. just before the beginning of the Spring rush, when the supply of waists on hand was limited. To meet this emergency the em ployers say they are prepared to tend their work to Cleveland, O , the ouly other city in the country that man ufactures shirtwaists on a large scale. The strikers' reply to this was a threat to call a general strike that would tie up work in Cleveland and other manu facturing centers. It mny be that the dear women will have to stick to their winter toggery longer than usual on ac count of the strike unless they get busy and do a little cutting and sewing themselves We have it on pretty good au thority that William Jennings Bryan wiU accept the portfolio of Secretary of State in the Wilson cabinet. Certain admirers of Mr. Bryan would be im measurably pleased if it should trans pire that this announcement is true. As the candidate who polled more demo cratic votes for the presidency thai any man, they think he is entitled to pre miership of the President's advisors. On the other Land, there are many pood democrat, equally sincere, who would look with disfavor upon such a coalition. Their is bo doubt in their miDds, in the first place, of the entire disinterestedness of Mr. Bryan's course in Baltimore. They believe that he was working for Bryan first, last and all thr time, and that the nomination of Wilson was a flare back. And they see danger of disharmony within thecabinst itself, with Bryan as a member. They be lieve that bis endeavors will be more to dominate than to advise. It wss hoped that Mr. Bryan would accept the post of Ambassador to Great Britain. lie would make a notable fig ure at St. James and as ambassador he would reflect great credit upon this country. And he doubtless would be very welcome to the English. It is un. lonunaie ai nines mat we can not see things in the light of the knowledge of our friends. ah - -aye ana no vote on the most important liquor legislation that has come before the National House in many years was avoided Tuesday when Speaker Champ Clark rulded out of or der an amendment to the Postoffice Ap propriation Bill, proposed by Represen tative ictor Alurdock, of Kansas, to prohibit the sending into "dry" States or counties of any mail matter contain ing advertisements for the sale of alcc- nouc Beverages. xnis is the same amendment offered in the Committee of the Whole Monday by Representative Jackson, of Kansas, where it was de feated on a viva voce vote. It was the general belief that oti a roll call the amendment would have been adopted. It seems next to impossible to get tern perance legislation through Congress, so powerful are the influences against it. However, we believe the Uy is not far distant when such legislation will be passed and that members of both Hous es, having read the signs of the times, win oe only too glad to vote aye on all questions to promote the cause of temperance. The Controller of tae Currency, Mr Murray, has announced that the Nation ai banks no longer are violating the law by excessive loans to such an extent a? to create a menace to their safetv. Re ports in response to the last cash call, he said, showed that 643 banks had ex cessive losses aggregating $3,2$ 1, 106, against 738 excessive loans, amounting to $2,874,877, on the previous call. The increase, be added, was more apparent than real as banks in the big cities had reduced their excessive loans, the in crease being confined largely to the country banks, lie attributed this to the crop-moving needs of the country during the fall. Many of the violations were only technical. The Controller is waging a cam pain against the prac ice. Flos. W. K. Oldham, who was recent ly elected president of the Arkansas Senate, is a Richmond man and he has two sisters living in this city. They are Mesdames W. H. Miller and John Doty. He left here some 25 years ago and has made good in every way in his adopted home. Ia Arkansas the Speak er of the Senate is in direct line for the executive chair, and as Gov.

The little fellow, who was named for Mr. Gordon's father and Dr. W. G white, of this office, was never strong from his birth and it has puzzled even the physicians as to how he hung on so tenaciously to life. Little Sammy's frailties bound him the closer to the fond parents, whose hearts now bleed for their darling, whose sweet little spir it now basks in the sunshine of the God Who gave it. Although ill, little Sam my s condition was considered no more alarming Wednesday, but as nightfall came on the little form became quieter and quieter and at about 8:30 tho sleep that knows no waking was begun.

Ac companied by the parents and a number of friends the remains were taken to Nicholasville Thursday and interred in the cemetery at that place.

Price 25 and 35 cents.. Sewell & McKinney 16 Telephones 223 The Climaxl year $1 :Notice in Regard to On and after January 1, I9I3, the price of ga? will be as follows: For the first 5,000 cubic feet, $1.50 per 1,000 cubic feet, less discount of 25 cents per 1,000 if paid on or before the fifteenth of the succeeding month. For all gas used each month above 5,000 cubic feet, $1.00 per 1,0C0 cubic feet. The reason for this is two-fold: First, the Company has to furnish, maintain and read a meter for every consumer, and the absolute cost of doing this is the same whatever the amount of gas used. But the relative cost is less in proportion as the amount of gas used is greater. The Company can therefore afford to sell a greater amount of gas at a less rate thaD a small amount. Second, the Company hopes that this reduction in price will lead to a greater use of gas for both domestic and commercial purposes. . If it does these, this reduction will pro- oaoiy be followed at some future date by a still further reduction. Gas arcs for commercial lighting will be furnished free by the Company and main tained at cost. Gas stoues, heaters and fixtures will be sold at cost by the Company, 5.00 down and 1.00 per month. The saving to the consumer by this arrangement may be seen by the fol lowing comparison.
