COMPULSORY VAOIIMTION.
The remarks of the CommiAN
upon this subject in the last issue,
may be pertinent, explanatory and
timely; but they will not in the
least alleviate or appease the feeling
of the jieople in the condition of
present circumstances. What prom
ised to be he most successful term
of schools in the upper townships
for ve.irs past, now seems destined
to utter failure. No matter who
ruay be at fault, some parties arc
Many citizens declare that "the
money paid for our schools this
winter, might as well be thrown
away." Some say, ' it were better
to close our schools, send the teach
ers home, pay them their full terra
of salary, and save the expense of
fuel." From current reports on
every hind, our schools are de
moralized, broken up, with no
reasonable hope of reoiganiziug
them to good working ordc-r.
The people appear to be in no
mood to being driven like herds of
cattli;, or hogs to the shambles, and
submit their children to the ordeal
of vaccination, with the possible re
sults of serious illness, or fatalities,
in a time when there are no epi
demies of any kind, in our, or near
by localities. Many people are in
a fever heat of excitement over a
condition, so uncalled lor and un
necessary, and for whiclf they are
so highly taxed. From present in
dications, no person can restore
tranquility, if such a despotic law
shall continue to be enforced. We
hear many people say that they will
positively not have their children
vaccinated, let the consequences be
what they may. If the authorities
are determined to enforce the law to
the letter, they will have to take the
responsibility. And m their per
sistence they will rob our citizens
of their last vestige of personal
liberty. Where is tbe propriety, or
wisdom 111 raising such a confusion
in our public schools, where all
should be peace, harmony and good
will, iu order that our schools might
prosper and succeed?
And to still further add to the
anger of the people is the fact that
the claim is set forth, that vacciua
tion must be repeated every third
or seventh year. Then many again
say that a large number of teachers
are not vaccinated, and they can t
understand why their children shall
be vaccinated and the teachers go
free. Our people feel and know
that a very great injustice confronts
tbem. This law' it such it is, was
passed iu the interest of somebody
else, more than to the interest of
our citizens and tax payers.
The Columbian informs us that
"Dr. Arment has his instructions
from the State Department, and he
must obey those orders or turn the
job over to some one who will do
so. We ask for 'urther luforma
tion. Is Dr. Arment, or any one
else obliged, under penalty or fine
to do this work that the people re
gard as the most despotic iu the his
tory of our state. Would it not be
be well for the people to test the
constitutionality of the most obnox
ious enactments that ever confront
ed them, and not wait until the
legislature of 1907 may modify, or
codify the peoples personal lib
erties. John C. Wknnkr.

MAIDEN! NAMES IN OTHER LANDS-
When a woman is married in
this country her maiden name is
seldom mentioned, says the London
Chronicle. Many people to whom
she is very well known have never
heard it In France, 011 the con
trary, there are constant reminders
of tne earlier dignity. In Bdgium
marriage does not extinguish it,
for many married women often
combine t'ue old name with the
new. Moreover, they put ihe
maiden name last, thus giving it
the greater distinction. We can
illustrate this by supposing the cus
tom to prevail in this country. In
that case Miss Brown when she
married Mr. Robiuson would have
her visiting cards printed: "Mrs.
Robinson-Brown." This double
barrelled arrangement does not
give the Belgium wife a better
social status than the English wife's
but it is very soothing to feminine
pride. Jix.
So also in some places iu Europe
the married name is never used,
but the woman retains her own
name and is n.t known by the
name of her husband. It has been
jocularly said, that in the United
States, and also in the united state,
the man and wife are one query
Which one ?
Much difficulty would be avoided
and also much misunderstanding
between married coupies and their
friends, if a little consideration was
exercised by the parents at an early
stage of the game of marriage and
connubial life. For instance --instead
of having a girl baby bap
tized by the Mary Josephine Eliza
Eleanor Jenkins, she were to be
baptized by the single name of
Mary, and when she married James
And-rson, she wrote her name in
full, thus Mary Jenkins Anderson,
all her rights and also her individ
uality would be preserved and ac
knowledged. It has been legally decided, over
and over, that an initial letter is
not a name; difficulties often occur
where a judgment is entered or a
note signed or a bill made out
against J. Madison, when there
may be a Johu Madison, a James
Madison, a Joseph Madison or some
other of the numerous baptismal
names which begin with the letter J.
No true woman or wife will write
her name hyphenated, with her
husbands name in the middle; as in
the example given above. Such a
connection is not a marriage, is not
a marriage of true minds or hearts
or persons. It is a partnership and
not a desirable one either Ever
since surnames became the rule iu
nomenclature, and the woman
was married to the man and they
became oue flesh, she has properly
given up aer identity to him.
As a matter of family distinction
and convenience the practice above
mentioned ought to be the rule:
The family name of both would
then appear, and the Robinson hy
phenated Brown would be used
only by people who &c, &c, &c.
Pretty soon Mrs. hyphenated
Brown will have ner own private
apartments in hyphenated Robin
son's house, and the servants and
children will be also hyphenated.
There never was anything better
thau-the man and his wife, and to
that let us be true, and it must !
follow as the night the day, we '
cannot then be false to any man.

Shot a Bear-
While hunting in Pike county '
Bruce Hartzel of this town shot a
black bear weighing 250 pounds. !
The animal came out of a hole only
a few feet away from him, aud he '
fired, the bullet entering between
the eyes, killiug the bear Instantly.

THANKSGIVING.
We are called upon by the head
of the nation and the Governor of
the State to gather in our respect
ive churches today, and to render
thanks unto Almighty God for his
manifold blessings vouchsafed to
us. Peace among the nations,
abundant crops, great business
prosperity are among the many
things for which we ought to be
thanktul.
Locally we have reason to be
thankful for our beautiful town,
our excellent schools, the general
good health of the community,
prosperous business, and for the
Joseph Ratti Hospital provided
through the generosity of one ot
our most benevolent citizens, and
many other blessings aud mercies.
While thankiug God for his
goodness to us, let us not forget the
poor and unfortunate who are feel
ing perhaps that they have very
little for which to be thankful. By
contributing liberally for their
needs they may at least be made to
feel thankful tnat God has put it
into the hearts of their fellowmen
to be generous to the poor, and thus
they too may join in the general
thanksgiving.
The day is too apt to be looked
upon as one merely of merry-mak
ing and feasting. He who consid-
ers Thanksgiving only as a day
when he can overload his stomach
with a good dinner, entirely loses
sight ot the purpose for which it
was established aud is observed.' If
there is any human being who is so
miserable, so abandoned, so friend
less, that he feels that he has noth
ing whatever for which to be
thankful, he has our profound sym
pathy, first, because of his unhap
py condition, and secondly, because
he himself is largely to blame for
his surrouudiugs.
