Money judiciously expended in the

THOSE WHO HAVEN'T ENOUGH
TO EAT.
Through the medium of the "State
Journal" we get the following from the
"Medical Times," of New Yorlc.
"It is a conservative estimate that
one third of the people in the large
cities of the country do not get enough
to eat. These can not be expected to
make a winning fight against tuber
culosis. Giddings thinks that human
beinss who have made it possible
to cross the ocean in five dayB and who
have made it possible to communicate
the state of the entire world into edi
torial rooms all over the world every
day and night could, if they wanted
to, rring it about that all persons in
the world would have enough to eat
Millions never have enough to eat
in a world in which hundreds of mil
Hons wrrth of things are wasted every
year. Business men who art not in
the least likely to die in the poor-house
maintain barbaric condition- in their
factories and oppoM- ilti i-n legislation
to improve these conditions. Giddings
asks how long the able, influential,
uo-to-date business men of the world
are going to leave there questions
to the people they call agitators. He
thinks it will be the work of the dan
gerous agitators to rectify conditions
unless others wake up and make it
their business and soon. Otherwise
we are fated to have loss of life and
property and needless bloodshed. The
medical profession is taking a decided
interest in the bearings of economics
upon disease. Nobody knows better
than the physician the relation of under
feeding to tuberculosis and the inef
fectiveness of crusades that do not
include changes in the social order.
The Giddings referred to is a profes
Bor in Columbia University. What he
says and thinks makes very timely
and interesting reading. The great
trouble with most people in fighting
disease is that they have not the money
to fight it with. This fact is more glaring
in connection with tuberculosis because
the operations of tuberculosis are rapid
and dramatic and thus focus on the
disease a degree of attention that other
diseases as a rule do not elecit. But
with all of them the lack of means
with which to buy the necessities for
scientific treatment is the great obstacle
in the way of a cure. This shows how
far the problem of a just distribution
of wealth reaches. It goes to the
very foundation of organized society
Prof. Giddings says that business
men maintain barbaric conditions in
their factories and oppose decent leg
islation to improve those conditions
Some people will refuse to believe
this. We do not doubt it. We do not
believe that the barbarism which used
to display itself in the form of a cruel
and oppressive feudalism has been
wiped out of existence. It is still here
but is more refined in its workings
and therefore harder to fully
comprehend.
1 Prof. Giddings says inferentially that
egislation willttielp solve the problem
Bishop Greer of New York said the
other day that of all the agencies
that produce reform legislation is the
poorest. But we rather think that
Philadelphia minister who publicly
discussed the career and of Bishop
Greer, indicated clearly enough why
the New York prelate is perhaps not a
good criterion in matters which affect
the relations of the factory owners
to the factory workers. We had sooner
accept the view of Prof. Giddings even
though it is very possible that Bishop
Greer would class him amoag the
"political agitators." But unless the
oppression and exploitation of the poor
by the great employers of labor is for
bidden by legislation it will be a long
time before it can be stopped.
KEEP THIS MONEY AT HOME.
The possibilities of cattle-raising
and the hindrances that stand in the
way qf that industry in this country
are well described in an article in the
Journal today signed "Another Farmer.'
This is a matter which, in our opinion,
should be very seriously looked into
by the farmers of this section. Beef
has come to be recognized as the most
wholesome of meats. Moje and more
of it is veing eaten and the demand
is already such that at least one
Northern packer and possibly others
are getting business here and have
been for some years. This meat had
ust as well be grown at home and the
money go into the pockets of our own
folks instead of into the already burst
ing coffers of the Armours and Swifts.

H. E. Blackburn, of Norfolk, dis
trict agent for the Provident Life
& Accident Insurance Company, of
Chattanooga, is in the city for several
weeks' stay on business.

Mrs. Charles Duffy returned yester

L. J. Moore, of Polloksville, was
among the business visitors in the city
yesterday.
Miss Bertha Gaskill is spending
several days at Beaufort with relatives'.
It will be noted that Mr. John Lind
did not lose his nerve and turn back.
The officials at Washington were said
to be a little nervous about his safety.
But there is no record of Lind himself
having lost his nerve. He didn't hurry
up his schedule, neither did he loiter
on the way.
Mrs. T. S. Bender, of Polloksville,
accompanied by her little son, was a
visitor in the city yesterday.
Fourteen billions of cigarettes were
smoked in this country during the
year ending June 20 last. Wonderful
how much this country can stand up
under and yet not go to the dogs. But
as to where it is drifting, that is another
question. At all events it is a satis
faction to know that it has fine recu
perative powers.
There surely must be some tax-
dodging going on in New York City.
There the personal property is given
in for taxation as being only $343,000,
000. As the real estate is assessed
at seven billions it can be seen that the
personal property is listed at scanda
lously low figures. It is surely a bad
example for the greatest city in the
United States to set,

are more essential to the State than

seems to have overlooked the large

World.
This sounds a bit like the "World'
is about to become converted to woman
suffrage. And really it would seem that
women could impress some of their
goodness on politics without inter
fering with their capacity for being
good mothers. We are very much
tempted to believe that they can.
The Mexican situation is quieting
down quite considerably. It was very
natural under all the circumstances
for President Huerta to think twice
before insulting this country. Officials
at Washington are vindicated by the
outcome as they said that as soon
as the Mexicans found out the real
object of Lind's mission to Mexico
they would have no objections to his
presence.
WILSON'S POWER OF THOUGHT

Woodrow Wilson says that he thinks
he detects the activities of an organ
ized effort in this country to stir up a
war between the United States and
Mexico. The American people have a
great deal more respect for the Presi
dent as a Sherlock Holmes than they
did before he smelt out the Congres
sional lobby so unerringly. Job Hedge
who was the Progressive candidate
for Governor of New York in the last
election, says that Wilson is the most
adroit and powerful politician that
has ever been in the White House.
We don't know about that, but there
is no kind of doubt about his having
a power of thought and discernment
that few men are gifted with.

A REMARKABLE WILL.
The article concerning the will of
Charles Lounsbury published in to
day's paper was furnished us by Mayor
Bangert. It was a clipping highly
prized by his mother, the late Mrs.
Caroline Bangert, and is therefore
doubly valuable to Mayor Bangert.
We are sure that it will be found very
interesting to those who may read it.
At the writer in the New York Timet
sayt, it is a very remarkable document.
Mr. Lounsbury appears not to have
left any money, but from childhood
to old agp, it it plain from what he hat
written, he wat rich ia a keen appre
ciation and enjoyment of the mere
pleature of living, a sort of wealth
that those who devote their whole
time to accumulating material riches
know little or nothing about. The
sentiment of the Lounsbury will it
wholesome and uplifting. We commend
it to the careful perusal of our readert.
