VACCINATION AND SMALLPOX.
There is an honest difference of
opinion, says the New Orleans States,
regarding the value of vaccination as
a preventive of smallpox, and some
peopje object to it so strongly that
every now and then there is recourse
to the courts in an effort to prevent
the enforcement of a compulsory
vaccination law or ordinance. But
while admitting that there is an hon
est difference of opinion, the majority
of people having common sense and
reasoning ability recognize and appre
ciate the value of vaccination.
At a recent conference of the health
officials of Pittsburg the fact was
brought out that from the beginning
to the end of the epidemic of small
pox in that city there were 110 cases
of the disease, 107 of which have been
classified. Of this number 85 of the
patients had never been vaccinated
and 22 had been vaccinated, but of
the latter only five within seven years.
Thirty of the patients died, and 28
of these were among those who had
never been vaccinated. J
In the face of such a showing it is
absurd to deny that vaccination Is not
a protection to the individual and to
the community. Smallpox, as all stu
dents of medical history know, was
the scourge of the world until Jenner
discovered vaccination as a prevent
ive. After the Crusades it raged
through European countries, sweeping
away thousands of people, and event
ually it spread to the new world, hav
ing been Introduced in America by
the Spaniards early in the sixteenth
century.
Starting in Santo Domingo, the dis-
ease was carired to Mexico, where it
destroyed 3,500,000 people. . In 1707 it
had Bpread to the northern countries,
killing one-fourth of the inhabitants
of Iceland, and in 1733 it almost de
populated Greenland. From those
years onward smallpox was a con
stant menace to human life all over
the world until 1796, when Jenner
made his wonderful discovery. His
tory Is filled with proofs of the value
of vaccination, and while theories are
theories, facts are also facts. Waco

THE TRUE SITUATION.
The Dallas Times-Herald heads an
editorial, "No Excuse for Professional
Beggars." So great a truth is ex
pressed in the caption that it is not
necessary to reproduce the editorial,
which calls attention to a condition
in lexas that should have immediate
attention. The poor we have always

PREACHERS AND AUTOMOBILES,
Dr. J. E. Love of Dallas told the
Missouri General Association assem
bled at Kansas City that every Bap
tist preacher who used an automobile
is able to support a missionary. That
is partly true perhaps, but in the case
of the country preacher a little run
about would enable him to reach many
more souls than going to his missions

we would suggest that every preacher

of Dr. Love is a good one at alL We
need the missionaries all right, but
let the churches support them. This
old idea that a preacher should wear
a suit until it shines like a French

have a new hat hut once in seven
years, is fast dying out and we thank
God for it. We want to see the

An eighteen-dollar-a-week workman
at a machine shop forge in the latter
eighties, tlamuel Vauclain, now vice
president and general manager of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, has
bought for 1100,000 an estate of 550
acres in Delaware county. He will

the estate with the finest horticul

Congressman Bob Henrv of the

that Is true, then Bob is a piker, for

of printing his name on the tickets,

economy is no doubt a great satisfac
tion to Bob, but how about the poor

The death angel visited the home

took from them their son, G. WV Nor
wood, on October 28. After a severe
illness he was called by his Creator
to the glorious mansions above.
He was a faithful and useful mem
ber of our Sunday-School and Baptist
church, lie was always ready and
willing to assist in every good work,
In sadness we will miss him, and the
place be has left vacant can never be
filled. God in His goodness and mercy
has called him from a world of sin
and sorrow to an eternal home of
light and love.
He is survived by his father and
mother, three brothers, three sisters
and a host of friends. The tcnderest
sympathy of neighbors and friends
goes out to all who are bowed down
under a weight of sorrow.
. He was laid to reBt Tuesday after
noon at 6 o'clock in the Wellborn
cemetery with the honors of the
Woodmen lodge, of which order he
was a member.
