Government Needs a Doctor
v Not a Propagandist
This of flco is in receipt of a pri
vate letter commending the editorial
of April 25 relative to the national
Industrial problems. . '
Now, this letter came from the of
fice of the Committee of Forty
Eight. This committee seems to be
the residue of the body of men who
met last fall in the city of St. Louis,
whose business it was to make the
two old political parties forswear all
their un-American and unprincipled
practices. The meeting resulted in
a Babel of tongues and they all scat
tered except a few I. W. W.
mere Beems, nowever, to do an ei
fort to preserve the original ideas in
the movement the principle one of
which is government ownership of
the American' railways. " The' Com
mercial admits that the two old par
ties are guilty of many, many, sins,
and that they deserve, both of them,
to be condemned for breaking faith
with the : people, even onto bribery
and corruption. With this admission
we also confess to having scored the
national Congress and administra-
rlnna Vinth nt tlipm fnr nnlitipftl
knavery, graft and most all the other
crimen in the category of politics.
We did this, but God forbid that we
should ever have to condemn either
of them for government ownership
of the American railways. I
Of all the monumental. mistakes of
republican government that would be
the crowning blunder. If we are to
vote twenty billions of dollars to the
owners of the railroad securities and
sell bonds to do it in order to own
the railroads it will cost us, with the
pro3ont war debt hanging over us,
forty billions of dollars altogether to
float the bonds. Capital would there
fore clear twenty billions, because it
is hardly po3siblo tho bonds could be
sold for more than fifty cents on the
dollar. In the payment of the origi
nal twenty billions the Government
would no doubt be giving capital an
extra bonus of something under ten
billions. That thirty billions is then
la the name of doing something won
derful for the American people, the
first crack out of the box.
Next, the Committee of. Forty
Eight is going to organize te sys
tern of American railways so that
the people who own them could, with
government management, operate
them at cost. No doubt about
it, but what about the cost?
First, we mu?t acknowledge that a
model system could be worked out
It would be a regular automatic,
chain Bystem, with duplication re
duced to a minimum and the distri
bution pf rolling stock and construe
tion work handled like clock work,
wheel within a wheel, all working
together with complete harmony. It
sounds grand. Red taperules and
every fellow has his place. If he
doesn't do but an hour's work a day
'he cannot be used in any other de
partment. That, however, is but
Will there not be new depots, sheds,
sidings, free transportation, and
political jobbery galore?. Inside of
ten years we venture that patronage
and pay alone of railroad em
ployees would . be doubled. That
would bo four billions a year. The
equipment of local stations would be
by political pull and more billions
would be necessary.
But what about the political end
of the string. With all the present
government forces and the addition
of railroad patronage, would itN be
po;jsiblo to change cdmini3trations?
No! with the advent of govern
ment ownership it would be gcodbye
to republican government. Socialism
would enter in its stead, and all the
in3piration of honest competition, in
centive, rivalry, ambition would be
pooled in a common cause, (ollowed
with a collanse of industry and a
decadent civilization.
No, Arabella; there should be a
revival of political Integrity and
patriotism, ' honest government and
all that but It cannot be done by
men who are promoting false doc
trines like these.

Eight Is In a conspiracy against the
great majority of the American peo
ple: either that or that they have
been hypnotized with the most flat
ulent fallacies.
giving the necessary bath, noting the
symptoms and reporting them for the
doctor, means in many case3 that our
dear ones will be spared to us. - But
such a nurse does more than this;
her visit may last only an hour; the
remaining twenty-three hours of the
day are to be accounted for and she
teaches us how to make use of every
one of them to help get our sick well.
She is a teacher as well as a helper;
sue brings light to dark places and
shows us the path that leads from
disease to health.
We may pay a small sum for this
service if . we are able; we need not
if we are unable, but in either case
we cannot fail to feel the deepest
gratitude for a plan that will put
such a person rendering such services
within the reach of us and our loved
ones.
We can have a nurse if We will;
this caring for the sick is but one of
her many duties. She contributes in
many other way3 to the health and
happiness of the comunity and we
will tell more about her another
time. Truly, a3 an asset for com
munity i improvement tne use or a
Public Health Nurse is one which
must be considered. Contributed by

a
very small objection to the system.
But! (Ana that word covers ev
erything almost.) The Committee of
Forty-Eight has put the two old po
litical parties on their good behav
lor, bursas the leopard changed his
spots? With this big government
owned industry there is an additional
patronage of two billions a year. Do
you -suppose with the red tape and
the flesh pots that politicians will not
create still an additional patronage to
operate these roads. If you don't you
are very credulous. Do you suppose
that communities won't do as they
are doing now with the U. S. Navy
asking for appropriations for naval
stations at the mouth of every inlet.
Godless Endeavor.
The Commercial Appeal, discuss
ing the subject of education in the
Sunday paper, had quite a little in
common with the baccalaureate ser
mons we have been naving this
SDrinar. Fir3t. warning the educa
tional head3 that otudents of voca
tioual training are too prone to get
the education and after they get it
too big to follow the vocation,
while in a general-way conknending
our educational system, maae it
quite clear that the education of the
mind without the education of tjie
soul is a fiilure.
Th9 subject of Godless things was
tho inspiration of a oermon by Rev.
Burge3s Cunningham last. Sunday
night at the Cumberland Presbyte
rian Church. The suggestion of a
Godless marriage led to other human
institutions in which men who for
get God find themselves adrift with
out anchor or compass. "
All this reminds us that "Man pro
poses and God disposes, and that na
tions; like men, must submit to the
wisdom of .God. Therefore the ques
tion of disarmament stirs the church
and God-fearing men and women to
rebel against the monster naval pro
grams of tho great nations. These
nations, already staggering with
debt, are straining every resource to
command tho seas and the commerce
of the world; they are exhausting
money and means in tHs giant test
of naval strength while hundreds of
thousands of people are ctarving to
death. Is this human? Is it an ex
ample of the spirit of -Christ? Can
we ignoreNthe injunction, "Feed my
sheep?"
Will the nation which forgets God
survive? What vzill it benefit the
nation with the greatest navy in the
world .to face ho wrath of God?
Religion without God is a hollow
mockary. Neither men nor nations
can succeed in a test of power with
God. And thta competitive, naval ri
valry in the face of present cpndl
tions is, wo tear, a Godless institu
tion.

for County Court Clerk, and Armour
Ratliff, for Trustee, appear In this
week's paper. These gentlemen are
offering for re-election, and. ask in
dorsement for a second term. They
have made fine official records, and
it is to be taken for granted that
they will have the support of the prl
mary committee and people at the
polls. s Mr. Watt Cherry's-nnounce

regular announcement column -

Public Nurse Has Many Duties,
In thinking of the work of a Pub
lie Health Nurse we naturally think
first of help in caring for the sick,
and therefore, it 1b well to know
something of how she performs this
important piece of work. First of
all let us assume that we cannot af
ford, or what so often happens, that
we cannot secure even with money
the services of a trained nurse. But
we have a case of illness in the home,
say typhoid fever, Influenza, diph
theria or any acute illness and no
one in the house understanding glv
ing the care that the Illness demands
if our patient is to get well. Not all
the willingness and love and anxiety
nor fond -desire will enable porfectly
untaught, and inexperienced persons
to give the typhoid fever patient the
bath that will reduce the tempera
ture and help save the precious life,
Again let us suppose that not a mem
ber of our family understands taking
temperature, counting the pulse or
watching the respiration of an in
fluenza patient, and yet these things
mean lite or death according to
whether : they are observed intelli
gently and accurately or the reverse,
and o&reful record of them kept for
the doctor to see on his next visit.
In diphtheria and many other dis
eases, there is grave danger for many
other members of the family and very
great danger also for the life of the
sick person unless we know how to
care for him properly. Therefore, in
acute illness we NEED A TRAINED
AND EXPERT HAND AND MIND to
help us protect our sick. The Public
Health Nurse, making a daily visit,
The first time a man succeeds in
kissing a clever girl she looks at him
In a way that makes him wish he had
got busy sooner.
