PIIBUSH THE PENSION BOOIS. Couraging Needed to Un dertake Retorm of Gigan tic Graft. (From Houston Post.) We are not as hopeful of pension re form as we should like to be, even with the World’s Work hammering at the conditions which make it necessary With that graduated service pension bill pending a measure that will in crease the present pension outlay by $30,000,000, the situation seems to be gloomy. But perhaps the constant hammering may eyetually arouse Con gress to the desirability of publishing the rolls, and there is good reason to believe that the publication of the rolls would pave the way to reform. The Charleston News and Courier has this to say in advocacy of the plan | of publication: “Men fight for glory, not for pelf. Woulden’t it be a fine thing for Con gress to order the publication of the pension rolls? Wouldn’t it be a fine thing for gallant old soldiers to have the names of all the fakers and graft ers erased from the lists? In fact, wouldcn’t it be cheaper for the Gov ernment to pay a dollar a day to every veteran deserving of it than to con tinue paying smaller sums to an army of those who never joined in a battle, never drew a cent of pay from the Government as soldiers on active duty, although they have drawn sums month ly ever since the way in the shape of j>ensions? By all means publish the pensiou lists.” We agree with our contemporary. It would be a fine thing, indeed, for the veterans if the pension roll could be made strictly an honor roll, just as it was intended to be and what the peo ple want it to be. But Congress can never achieve this monumental under taking until the rolls are published and the people of every community can see just who of their neighbors are enjoying the Government’s bounty. Such publication would arouse a sen timent for pension reform in every community of the United States, for there is scarcely a community which does not contain men who have no more moral right to a pension than they have to the products of their neighbors, farms. If the people could read these names they would demand of their Representatives in Congress a reform that would purge the rolls of the names of every deserter, bounty jumper, camp follower and faker now eating the people’s substance without having done a thing to earn the peo ple’s gratitude. But Congress is even afraid to order the publication of the rolls. Individual members fear that the very men against whom the publication would be Aimed might take revenge by vot ing against them, and as matters nDW stand they will not only decline to take chances, but they will continue to waste the public money on every pen sion scheme the fakors can invent to loot the treasury in the name of the old solders.

This law shall be for thee, and thine; Until no more is Time, that thou Shalt labor harnessed to plow— Thy sweet shall wet the Earth; and they Who chance to see thee by the way Shall scourge thee—and they portion be .The crust; and water fouled thee. By me a&d mine, shalt quaff. Thy wage— Thou’lt find it burned in history’s page— The right to live so long as thou Keep to the yoke, and pull the plow This other law fhr me and mine; Thy plow shall turn the fertile soil To save my seed from pain and toil So long as thine shall be; thy seed Shall line the gullet, cf our greed With golden pheasants, sweet of ease, And I and mine on thine shall seize— Our heritage to point the way, Thy duty, cringing, to obey. To us, from all the lands ye turn. The fruits no seed of mine may earn! This law shall be for thee and thine, This other law for me and mine! To him who to the yoke is born. The tares and rocks, the naked throne The sorrow of the Earth, the griet. The famine, and the rotten sheaf! The toil, the endless toil—the pain— The living death, then death again! These he shall bear, that they who chance Upon unearned inheritance May toil in luxury; ‘tis writ’ Let mortals make the most of it The toillers blood shall redden wine. For me, my father's son, and mine, Henry Edward Warner. The Plague Ravaged | Harbin; Chinese Borderinf; On Panic. Already nearly six thousand bodies of victims of the plague have been burned or buried in the outskirts of Harbin Manchuria. Forty-eight hundred of these came from the Chinese town, and a thousand from the Russian quarter Yesterday sixteen stacks of coffins and seven pits filled with bodies and oiled logs, blazed outside the town. The mortality among the physicians and the hospital attendents is high, considering the means taken for their protection, and doctors, nurses and orderlies are succumbing to ^the dis ease. The sanitary authorities hope soon to test serum of their own manufact ure from the Manchurian bacilli as the foreign importations have proved ineffective. The happenings in Europe in the seventeenth centurj' when the “black death” swept through the country, are being repeated here. Fears bor dering on panic have gripped the Chinese. At the first they defied the medical officers, and kept their sick and dead hidden for the purpose of carrying ont ancient funeral rites. Now it is brother against brother and father against son. The stricken ones are forced into the streets to starve or freeze, to fall perishing from the swift and deadly attack the plague makes upon its victims. Passersby avoid them but some times those engaged in sanitary work, masked and bandaged, reach thfcm before they die and cart them to the pest house, or if they are dead, to the funeral pyres. Not infrequently an outcast is seen to be kneeling and making his obeisance before the grave of an ancestor, in sight of a pile of bodies in which he is soon to become one You are probably aware that pneu monia always results from a cold, but you never heard of a c*ld resulting in pneumonia when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was used. Why take the risk when this remedy may be had for a trifle? For sale by all Dealers. NORFOLK SOUTHERNr RAILROAD COMPANY Chaugeof Schecule Beaufort District—effective, Sunday, January 29th, 1911.

The Perfect Patient* It is very impolite to get well when your doctor has positively said that you could not live another month. Also it is bad form to die promptly just af ter your medical attendant has de clared you out of danger. Neverthe less now and then persons of the best breeding are guilty of these breaches of sick-room etiquette. The perfect patient is nearly as rare as the per- fecc physician. But, seriously, there are two re quisites of the perfect patient which few sick folk understand. One of these is faith in the physician and the other is mental detachment in so far as the handling of the case is concern ed. In the first place, don’t call or al low to be called a doctor in whom you have not the fullest confidence. When you want a physician you want a good one—one with experience and judge ment. Having obtained the services of such a man, put your case in has hands explicitly and implicitly, just as you would put a legal case in the hands of your attorney. The other essential—detackment from responsibility or worry about ] your own case—naturally follows up on absolute confidence in the doctors. Just try to bear in mind that you are the patient, not the doctor. And never ask or seek to learn what is the nature of your disorder. The less you know about it, the better for you. Try to remember that practically no disease is university fatal, or hopeless, and let it go at that. Don’t press the doctor for a diagnosis, or prognosis. Board of County Commis sioners. Graham, N.
