' ' The government has been experi menting with the typhoid serum and the result' of its experiments are said to prove conclusively that typhoid ean be prevented by the use of the serum. Three soldiers volunteered to. make the tests and the; result of the experiment is thus' summarised by the Birmingham Age-Herald: "An. official test at Fort Omaha demonstrates that the typhoid serum does render persons who subject themselves to it immune from' the most direful fever of this country. Three- soldiers consented to become typhoid tests. , On June 17 these men were, vaccinated with typhoid serum. Inside of seven days they developed the fever in a very mild form. When fully recovered they were again vac cinated, but no typhoid symptoms ap peared. Ten days ago the last and the most severe test was applied, and since then physicians of the post have been anxiously awaiting develop ments. The last was the drinking test. Ordinary water was left for three days In an open dish. (Then in a gallon more than amllllon typhoid germs were placed.1 This mixture was allowed to stand four hours lon ger, after which the three soldiers drank of it freely. One who was not Immune would have been stricken by the fever from three to five days ago, say the physicians who, have been watching the tests. Now that this time has passed and no symptoms have shown signs of .developing, the medical men feel satisfied that the subjects would be unable to contract the disease. "These tests at Fort Omaha and similar tests throughout the country demonstrate that the dread fever has been conquered at last. , In the army the serum will be freely used,, and there is no reason why it should not he out of the army. The - waste of energy and of life from typhoid in this country should be stopped, and the thoughtful person will yet decide that the serum and Its slight fever Is far .better than the wasting fever of weeks" . '. ' WINSTON'S TOBACCO BUSINESS. The tobacco business of Winston Salem continues to grow and expand. Already this year more than $19, 000,000 worth of manufactured to bacco has been shipped from that city. The figures telling the story of Winston's tobacco business are really astounding to' one who has not been keeping in close touch with the growth of the business. From a small beginning the' output In the course of a very few years has be come enormous. ' The Sentinel thus tells the story: "The receipts at the internal rev enue office during the month of July amounted to $209,613.15, which means that 3,493,552 pounds of manufactured tobacco were shipped by the local tobacco manufacturers during the month ending Saturday. Last July the receipts amounted to $154,259.55, when 2,570,992 pounds were shipped. This is an increase during the past month of 922,560 pounds of tobacco and an increase of $55,353.60 in revenue. "During the first seven months of the present year, the local tobacco manufacturers have shipped 25,558,- 962 pounds of manufactured tobacco,' which is an increase of 3,044,195 pounds over the first seven months of the year 1908. The revenue paid to the United States, government during the first seven months of the present year amounted to - $1,633,538.06 against $1,338,886.11 last year, 'an increase of $194,651.95 in favor of the present year. Multiplying the to tal number of pounds by 40, 40 cents being the'average price per pound, it will be seen that the s&les brought $10,223,684.80 to this city. The shipments during tha . - first . seven months of 1908 amounted to 22, 814,767 pounds." ' ' The Bride' of the Mistletoe, by James , Lane. Allen.

No one should assume that the women , teachers are to be found in the kindergarten and the lower grades only. They teach In. the grammar schools. In the high schools and principalshlps are not beyond them. The election of Mra Ella Flagg Young to the highest executive posi tion In the public school system of the second city In the union is .not there fore surprising. What Chicago' has done other cities may do as the occa sion arises. At any rate, the election of Mrs. Young opens all positions In public schools to aspiring and compe tent women. There are those who will say that boys who' are passing from boyhood to manhood should not be molded by fem inine ideasthat .a boy's natural . aspi rations cannot be brought out in that way. Critics who think in' this way say that manly' qualities cannot be. .de veloped under feminine rule. , , This Is, however, an academic prop osition only. There is no evidence to support it . ! The critic who would push aside women teachers would logically dislodge the mother,; who, after all. Is the. chief trainer of the growing hoy. It 'is safe to say that women' teacrers have come to stay and the election of Mrs. Young In Chicago , will promote the elevation of women to any position in the public schools thai' h 'can StttH isfactorily fill.-' The work of the future will take no harm through the training of boys by women in the public schools, Birmingham Age-Herald. ; i Muzzling the Press In Spain. . Impenetrable darkness surrounds the doings of royallBt and revolutionist In Spain. No one knows, outside of the city, what is happening In I Barcelona, and no one In Spain dares print his opinions. It may be that the Moors have again routed the Spanish troops and have hurled them back from the Rift country. It may be that a new revolution to-affect all Spain. , But the revolution ig brewing in . Catalonia, destined to affect all Spain. But the facts, whatever, the. Import, are con cealed by court , authorities. Every news Item that appears In the Spanish print, or is flashed across the cable to America, has to be approved by the royal censor, , All of his savors of the seventeenth century, when the printer's life was 'in danger If -he dared to speak against the crown, when his press was subject to royal orders and his proof had al ways to be acceptable to some parasitic courtier, deputed for the purpose. The struggle to overcome this censorship and the effort to secure freedom of the press were but a part of the great battle for free speech, tfhe two went hand in hand. In England, the vic tory for the press came along after the bill of rights had guaranteed freedom Of speech, but the connection between the two was not lost. . The defenders lof the "North Briton" rested their case upon the' older right of free speech. Lord Chief Justice Pratt's decision at that time, tn liberating JohniWllkes the Magna Charts, of . untrammeled English journalism wak based upon the guaranteed right-of free speech.' v . . In America, free speech and a free press were one. and the same. The Virginia BUI of Rights laid down the broad principle which the .Constitu tion followed, and 'Which has; never beenN violated.
