Enemies of Washington
and Franklin almost
succeeded in wrecking
the struggling cause.
f I up week" In Philadelphia,
HOIUO UCNCCIlUUmn III imi'ni
Morris, the financier of the
lli-volutlon, worked their way
to un unused utile. Having decided
to dispose of n n old ibsk, curiosity
caused them to search Its drawers,
with the result that a pile of yellow
and faded letters, written by the men
ho created the nation, was uncov
ered. A ,'larico through them showed
their great Importance, says Joseph
Jackson in the Public Ledger.
A rending of some of the letters
shows that there will have to be a re
arrangement of values of some of the
landing characters of the Involution.
In the letters we see how cabals and
Intrigues ami backbiting ranged
through the whole governing and ofli
elul classes. Washington's place as
comniander-ln-ehlef was resented by
some, Franklin was alleged by his
companions In Trance to be too old
and too Indolent, one who should be
sent home. Congress was removed to
Baltimore before there was any neces
sity for the change, and the delegates
murmured at being compelled to live
la u town where there were such poor
accommodations.
Morris evidently was regarded as
the true friend of both Washington
and Fran kiln, and to him came the
tales of the Intrigues against them und
how the fate of the war hung In the
balance for n time, for had Washing
ton been deprived of Ills command the
whole campaign would have been
thrown into confusion and Into the
arms of the British commander. Had
Franklin been removed from France
at the Instigation of his companions,
the support that eventually made the
nation free would have been with
held. It is very well known, of course,
that John Adams had declared that
he was sick of the Fabian system and
that he thanked Cod that it was an
other nud not Washington that re
ceived the glory for the Saratoga con
vention, lint, in a letter written by
BWiJumin Harrison, one of the sign
ers of the Declaration, under date of
Williamsburg, Va., December 18, 1777,
It is found thut both Samuel and John
Adams were in league to get rid of
Washington. The It. H. L. noted
In the letter Is, of course, lllchard
Henry Lee.
"We have a story circulating here,"
Harrison wrote, "that there has been
a motion made in Congress to divide
the command of the army and that K.
H. L. was at the bottom, of It. It
makes much noise, and if true, will ef
fectually do his business. We are also
informed that Genl. Washington's char
acter has been attack'd publicly by S.
& J. Adams, and that the Oenl. has
been so iuform'd.
t "lour being sent to Camp gives me
some reason to fear that these reports
may lie true, and that my worthy
Friend resents such treatment, I know
his Value & would not loose him.
If we do, America will repent It by
the loss of her Liberty. The Confed
eration is unanimously agreed to by
both Branches of the Legislature.
"There is one part of it I confess
I couldn't have wlsh'd to have alter'd,
which gives the Congress power of
regulating the Trades, and of course
granting a monopoly of the whole, or
uny part of it to any Nations It
pleases, tho' some of our connoisseurs
say they have no such power, there
being no express grant of it, which
they say is necessary to constitute the
right, und that It can't be obtained by
Implication. I shall be glad of your
opinion on tho matter.
"The Men of War still keep us
Blocked up and I dare say will do so
nil the Winter, in which case many
Vessels will rot with their Loads in
them, and yours amongst the Best, and
my Ships I fear will share the same
fate on the stocks, which will be a
most deadly stroke to me, If they do
stay the Winter, It will be on acct.
of the Frigate at Baltimore which they
seem determined not to let proceed to
Sea.
"We have not n word of News, nor
any thing that I know of worth your
Notice, except tlint this Country will
act an Example I hope to the rest of
her Sister States, by sending her full
quota of Troops, and raising as much
money ns the I'eople can bear. If all
the rest do so we may once again meet
with joyful countenuuees and Cheerful
Hearts."
In a letter dated February 15, 1778,
Harrison says :

would In the end have made every man

There are several letters by Wil
liam Hooper, one of the North Caro
lina delegation, in which one gets the
idea that, more than even moderns do,
the country then believed Its fute de
pended upon the efforts of Washing
ton as commander in chief, and that
to change horses or to divide responsi
bility with another commander would
be fatal to the American cause.
Three letters from Franklin, two of
them written while the philosopher
was in France, give a very comprehen
sive view of the difficulties he encoun
tered through the jealousy of his com
panions. The first letter is dated at
l'uris, December 21, 1777, and shows
that harmony was lacking among the
American ministers sent there by con
gress. "I remember that long before I was
ordered here," he wrote, "you did me

Letter, Is attended with many incon

ate enough to treat Howe as you have
done Burgoyne, he would be In danger
of the old House falling on his llud."
In the next letter, which Is duted
from Pussy, June 3, 1780, Franklin ex
presses himself upon the subject of
free ships nnd free goods. What he
had to say must be illuminating in the
present European struggle nnd its ef
fect upon neutral commerce of the
world.
"We are Impatient to hear from
America, no Accounts of the Opera

the 0th of March having yet came to

tablish tho free Navigation for Neu

tho belonging to Enemies, except con
traband ; that Is, military Stores.
"France and Spain have approved
of It, and it is likely to become hence

does not like this Confederacy. I wish
they would extend it still further, nnd
ordain that unnrm'd Trading Ships, ns

never be Interrupted In their Opera

let those only fight with one another

The last Franklin item consists of a
contemporary copy of a letter In cipher
to Franklin acquainting him that Con
gress had passed a resolution express
ing the sense of that body that he was
not exerting himself with the Govern
ment of France In a manner to benefit
America. On this Franklin added a
line to Morris, saying, "I need not tell

Uncle Sam Requires Several

Woman Plays Big Part In Building Up

Uncle Sam already Is bufty with
preparations for the taking of the next
tiecennlul census of, the population of
the United States. In 1020. It Is
planned to mnke the fourteenth cen
bus the greatest census that the world
has ever known.
So vast nnd complex an undertak
ing has this statistical reckoning be
come that It requires several years of
gradual preparation to be in perfect
readiness for the start.
Times have changed since this coun
try wns able to gather together a tern
pornry force of officers and clerks
end mnke a more or less accurate ac
counting and statistical enumeration
of the American people and their vo
cations.
It wns In 1902 that long-laid plans
for a permanent census-taking organ!
cation found their consummation, and

results hnve amply Justified its exist
ence. The census bureau of the Unit
ed States, of which Samuel L. Rogers
is director, has become the greatest
statistical laboratory in the world, and
the facts and figures it is gathering
and tabulating and issuing at all times
ate of vital Importance to the prog
ress and development of the United
States.
The permanent office force of this
bureau of the department of commerce
numbers about 000 men and women,
who are kept constantly at work be
tween times on intercensal activities.
When the great reckoning of Amerl-'
ca's forces of people and their con
dition of Its manufactures and their
kinds nnd values; of Its agricultural
holdings, mineral products nnd oth
er lines of investigation arrives, an
office force of nearly 4,000 Is on hand,
with an outside army of over 70,000
enumerators and other special em
ployees, all ready to begin operations
at the arrival of the proper moment.
Their work is to gather in the data
accurately aad expeditious; to tab
ulate and otherwise prepare them.
' Woman Directs Mobilization.
With this expanding and contracting
force to be mustered in and set to
work without confusion or delay,
again to be mustered out when the
work is done with the least possible
loss of time and money, it ia Interest
ing to know that a woman's head de
vises a goodly part of the planning of
this official mobilization and in su
perintending Its carrying out.
Miss Emily L Farnum of the ap
pointment section of the bureau of the
census is given credit for unusunl ad
ministrative ability, both during the
three-year period of the decennial cen
sus, when she acts as assistant to the
temporary appointment clerk, and in
her post under William L. Austin,
chief clerk of the bureau,, during the
Intercensal period.
Miss Farnum has filled this office
satisfactorily since the establishment
of the permanent bureau of the cen
sus, and she has carried her share of
the work successfully through the
twelfth and thirteenth censuses. She
has civil service rules which govern
the appointment of all clerks at her
fingers' ends, and she is thoroughly fa
miliar with depart ental usage and
with the history and customs of the
bureau to which she Is attached, all
of which stand her in good stead at
the stressful time of census-taking.

TYPHOID PUT TO ROUT
Army Doctors Victorious Over
Old-Time Enemy.
Only Eight Cases Reported In Year,
With No Deaths Record Is
Made Under Difficulties.
Uncle Sam's health officers have
routed typhoid fever, the old-time en
emy of every army. At the same time
they have during the past year made
a great record in other ways in the
preservation of the health of Uncle
Sam's fighting men. There were no
epidemics or unusual occurrences of
Infectious diseases.
The statistics which are kept by the
army doctors show thut there were but
eight cases of typhoid fever In the en
tire army during the year, none of
which resulted in death. This record
is all the more remarkable when it is
considered that during the 14 months
from May 1, 1898, to June 30, 1899,
caverlng the period of the Spanish-
Amcrlcun wur, there were 2,774 deaths
from this diseuse, and that this alone
was responsible for more than one-
half the disease mortality in the army.
Again malarial fever, formerly one
of the largest contributors to the non
effective rate in the service, showed in
the year under examination the lowest
rate in the history of the army. The
health statistics of the army are es
peclally interesting, in view of the fact
that they cover about 100,000 men hav
ing a fur extended field of action, dis
tributed literally over two hem!
spheres, nnd therefore subject to epi
demic contact and to the presence of
contagion in foreign service from
which the civilian or nonmilitary
population of the continental United
States is more adequately protected
by local sanitary safeguards.
In connection with these health sta
tistics it must be remembered that
they cover the period since the Na
tlonal Guard and practically the entire
army has been on the Mexican border.
The expeditionary force which, In
March, 1910, entered Mexico, com
prised tcoops from all branches of the
service, numbering approximately 10,
000 men. During the aeverul months
of their stay these men were under
trying climatic and sanitary condl
tlons, having to construct the sanitary
appllunces and facilities of their
camps, and frequently being in sta
tlons where adequate water supply
was difficult to secure.
The mobilization of the Nationnl
Guard on the Mexican border present
ed to the medical staff of the army a
large and delicate problem. The men
comprising these guard regiments
were drawn from nil parts of the Unit
ed States, from our grent cities and
from the rural districts, from high up
lands and low valleys, from mountain
and plnln. They were transported at
the height of the summer heat to the
climate of southern Texas, to which
few, if any, of them were in the least
accustomed. They exchanged home
life for crowded railroad trains nnd
crowded railroad trains for hastily
prepared camps. They underwent at
once an immediate dietary change and
ns complete a change of habit and oc
cupation. All of the facilities of the
health service of the army were at
once devoted to sanitary measures for
the safety of these men. As a result of
the good work done the sick rate of
the combined forces on the border
since the mobilization has been less
than 2 per cent.
CANCER MENACE HAS GROWN
Mortality in United States Has In
creased Continually for Past 15
Years, Uncle Sam Reports.
The mortality from cancer and other
malignant tumors In the death-registration
area of the United States has been
Increasing almost continuously for the
past 15 yenrs. It is greater in urban
than in rural localities; among females
than among males ; among whites than
nmong negroes ; and among persons In
middle life and old age than among
those In early life. Deaths due to
cancer of the stomach and liver repre
sent more than three-eighths of the
totaL
These are among the significant
facts brought out in a special report
issued by Uncle Sam through the cen
sus bureau.
The total deaths from cancer. and
other malignant tumors throughout the
registration area (which contains ap
proximately two-thirds of the total
population of the United States) ia
1914 numbered 52,420, corresponding
to a death rate of 79.4 per 100,000 pop
ulation. This figure represents an al
most continuous increase amounting
to 28 per cent for the entire period
since 1900, when the rate was C3. How
much of this Increase has been due to
more accurate diagnoses and greater
care on the part of physicians in mak
ing reports to registration officials,
and ia thus apparent rather than real,
it Is impossible to estimate. For reg
istration cities having 10,000 Inhabi
tants or more In 1910 the rate aver
aged 88 per 100,000, but for smaller
places and rural localities In the reg
istration states it averaged only 69.6.
Among the states the lowest five
rates45.8, 40, 48.9, 51.5 and 57.8 per
100,000 population are shown for
Utah, Kentucky, Virginia, Montana and
North Carolina, respectively; and the
highest five 109.9, 107.6. 101.2, 100.8
and 97.9 for Vermont, Maine, Massa

nia respectively. The rate for North
Carolina relates only, to places which

PROBLEM NOT A HARD ONE
Before Beginning Building, It Is
Good Plan to Have a General Un
derstanding of Just How the
Building Is to Be Laid Out
By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.
Mr. William A. Radford will answer
question! and Rive advice FREB OF
COST on all subjects pertaining- to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
la, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all Inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 11(27 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, 111., and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
The prospective home builder usu
ally rents and has lived in two, three
or perhaps four houses before he final
ly comes to the point where he is
ready to build his own home.
During this time the housewife
forms many Ideals as to what the ar
rangement of their own home shull be.
Experience from work In her previous
homes may give her a strong idea that
she absolutely must have a large
kitchen. Yes, she must have it, even
if it is necessnry to make other rooms
In the house smaller. -
There are children, nnd they must
have a cheerful room in which they
s,s. ia.vT .-. ., ,., .
can play When the weather Is bad.
The husband decides that he must
hnve a room or a place where his
things can be put and which he can
use when he desires to work, think
nnd be by himself. He has missed
such a place In all of his rented houses,
Very much.
The things named above are only a
few of the different ideals which each
member of the family mny hnve, but
they are all going to live In this house
which is to be built. Therefore as
many of the ideals of each member
ns nre possible should be included in
the arrangement und design of the new
hoise.
Putting these many ideas Into one
house mny seem Impossible to some.
Don't let it fool you and cause dissat
isfaction inter.
The wny to solve such a problem
would be this : Sit down of an evening
and let each get an Idea of what it is
that the other has such a strong desire
for in this new home. Let each mem
ber of the house then swdy and get
together all the plans that meet with
his or her approval.
The next thing would be a general
get-together, each bringing out the su
perior points of his house. The first
few plans mny have all the things that
one or two members of the family de
sire, but few or absolutely npne of
the things the others desire.
Finally, after perhaps all members
have spoken of each of their plans,
Floor Plan.
some member speaks up and says,
"There are those plans which Charlie
has. We can Just change this one
thing In them in such-and-such a way
nnd have all the things each of you
ask for." So the final plans are de
cided on and all are pleased in every
respect.
This is the way the big things of
your country are satisfactorily settled.
Why not let It be the way the. big
things of your life are satisfactorily
Fettled? - '
The h6use here shown, with floor
plans and perspective view has many
nice things which will be appreciated
by each member of the family.
This house has the outside shingled.
If desired, weather boards can be used
equally well, uither of the siding ma
terials given a good appearance to the
bouse.
The house Is of a style which was
somewhat common some years ago,
when the weather was allowed to color
the outside of unpalnted houses to a
grayish color. In keeping with this,
painting the house gray with white
trimmings will be found very satisfac
tory. It will help to bring out thut
quaint and homelike appearance.

There are nine-light French wludows1
in front on either aide of tho porch.
One of the windows is for the living

There are also terraces on either aide

that the kitchen table can be placed,
directly in front of a window, where
there Is an abundance of light. Cabi
nets for food, china and cooking uten
sils ore built against the wall on either
side of where the kitchen table Is In
tended to be. This arrangement saves
many 3teps between the cabinet an(
the table.
There Is a screened porch in the rear
of the house. It connects with the -
back bedroom nnd hall. The hall con
nection Is very convenient with respect
to the bath. This back bedroom might
ho used for a sleeping porch in the
summer, or. If desired, it will be found
nice ns a place to spend the hot sum-
" " ... .-. . w-wv '
mer days In privacy. Another good
use for it would be as a light playroom .
for children. In case this Is desired,
windows can be fitted in in- place of
the screens, during the winter months.
CUT DOWN YOUR SUNDAY DIET"
Eat Less and Exercise More and Elim
inate "Blue Monday," Is
Good Advice.
Grouchiness Is more prevalent on
Monday morning than at any nther
time In the week, and to such an ex
tent that life is made disagreeable
temporarily for many families and for
many coworkers. That such manifes
tations of 111 feelings are detrimental
to public and private Interests Is wide
ly acknowledged, but it has remained'
for Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, state com
missioner of health, to direct public
attention to the Monday morning
grouch and to tell how it can be done
nway with.
"The majority of people," Doctor
Dlxon snys, according to the Pitts
burgh Chronicle-Telegraph, "are ap
to fall Into two general divisions. One
clnss tries to crowd too much Into the
time between one week's end nnd the
beginning of the next week's lnborj
They take up their labor on Monday,
morning exhausted and overtired in
stead of refreshed by the 'day of rest.'
The other class goes to extremes byl
overeating and underexerclslng, and
the result Is equally unhappy." i
To these causes the doctor could,
hnve added the "hang over" from Sat
urday night, for that there Is more dis
sipation then thnn during nny other
night In the week is beyond dispute.
This Is followed by late rising on Sun-!
dny morning and, If the stomach will
permit, the eating of three meals,
which are always heavier on Sundsy
thnn on other days. The remedy, then,'
lies with the individual nnd It con
sists in abstinence from liquor Satur
day night, and less eating and more ex
ercise nothing better than a long
walk-ron Sunday. By following this
plan what Is known as "blue Monday"
will be wiped off the social and busi
ness cnlendar, and everybody will be
fit to enter upon tfie duties of the
week.
Stumbled on Burglars' Cache.
A burglar's haul amounting 'to $7..
500 was recently discovered by a gar
dener while digging up some flowei
beds in Kingston, England. He was
preparing the beds for the wlnteH
when he was surprised to find ar
tides of jewelry among the earth
turned up by his spnde. Then he
called one of the other gardeners, and
the two of them fn a short time
brought to the surface some two oi
three hundred articles of Jewelry, nil
In gold, consisting of gold watches, ex
panding wristlet watches, finger
rings, ear-rings, shirt studs, sleeve
links, albert and neck chains; and
other articles, some of them set with
diamonds und jather precious stones,
the whole being sufficient to fill the
apron of one of the men. The police
afterwards sifted the earth and suc
ceeded in recovering several smaller
articles. Later in the dny the Jewel
ery was identified as that stolen from
a Jeweler whose shop had been broken
into by burglars.
The Reason.
"There seems to be more busing
about the seaside resorts than uborr;
the mountains. How do you explain
It?"
"I guess it is because thing nre
dull now and then in the mountains,
but there is always more or less boom,
ing of the sea."
