will jurt repeal that plank." in the
Baltimore platform concerning tne
single term.
There is no need of "repealing" the
plank. It does not bind the President
not to run again. It does not bind
the party not to nominate him again.
It does "urge the adoption of an
amendment to the Constitution mak

FOR A HEALTHFUL TOWN
Since January 1, the town of Hen
derson and Vance county have had a
whole-time health cllicer, anil already
a set of modern ordinances on the hum,
ter of slaughter houses, abattoirs ,atnl
the handling of meats have been writ
ten on the statute books. The minis
tors of the city are taking up the mat
ter of health and sanitation and are
expected to give sermons, lectures and
informal talks on the matter.
The matter of regulating slaughter
houses and abattoirs deals minutely
with the sanitary conditions of ti e
premises and with the screening of
the slaughter houses and other places
w here meat is handled, stored or of
fered for sale. Strict notice also is
taken in regard to general cleanlinc.-.t
around the premises and personal
cleanliness of those who handle t:m
meat, while not a little attention is
given to the healthiness of the animal
that is slaughtered. Persons sufTer
ing from tuberculosis or persons who
have recently suffered from typhoid
fever in any of its forms or from any
other communicable disease, are not
allowed to handle the meat.
To show the approval with whicn
steps of progress were met in Hen
derson, it is only necessary to call at
tention to the fact that before his
rigid set of ordinances was passed, a
meeting of all the butchers in the city
was held in the oHice of Dr. D. 0.
Absher, health officer for the city and
county, and the. entire situation was
gone over with the butchers, the lat
ter expressing entire satisfaction with
reference to the set of ordinances as
a whole.
GERMANY THOUGHT ENGLAND
WOULD KEEP HANDS OFF
Lord Roseberry is probably right in
thinking Germany did not expect En
gland to take part in the war, and he
may be right in thinking that war at
this time was not expected. There is
much testimony as to skepticism In
Germany as to Russia's preparedness,
and it may well be that while facing,
the risk of a general war, the German
government expected to be able v
bluff Russia and repeat the coup of
1908. He does well to caution his
countrymen: "We must then, I think,
suspend our judgment as 'to the rea1
causes of the war' until time and
'documents are given.'" The same
caution is needed in this country.
There are so many and such obviously
contributory causes that it is easy for
a hasty thinker to build op a plausi
ble theory of the war without realizing
that it is but one of many, equally
plausible, which might be constructed
from the same material. Never were
such profuse documents offered for
the immediate study of a war, but
some which are needed to throw light
upon the rest are still withheld. It
will be long before all the pieces of
the puzzle can be fitted together .

Forget, it, my dear boy, forget it;
That's the very best thing U can do.
It will do you no good to remembnr
All the mean things that's said
about U.
This life is too short to get even
For every mean act that you know.
So forget it, my dear boy, forget it;
Forget it, and just let it go.
Mffia1
Many good men have been ruined,
And many good, pure women, too,
By some knocker starting a rumor,
And not a word of it true. .
So if you hear some fellow knocking
A man or a woman's good name,
You can bet it's a lie, so forget it;
And never repeat it again.
