THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
I am convinced, "both by faith and
experience, that to maintain oneself
on this earth Is not a hardship but a
pastime, if we will live simply and
wisely; as the pursuits of the sim
pler nations are still the sports of the
more artificial. 51. D. Thoreau.
A PLAIN DUTY.
The duty of a Republican candi
date for presidential elector in
Pennsylvania is entirely clear. There
is no possible chance for any mis
understanding. He was named with
others at the Republican state con
vention as his party's choice to cast
the electoral vote of Pennsylvania
for the Republican candidate for
president of the United States, who
ever that candidate might be.
Afterward the national convention
at Chicago nominated President Taft
as the candidate. It is therefore
tho duty of the Republican electoral
candidates from this state to rote
for Mr. Taft in the electoral college.
It is true that there is no statute
law compelling the elector to do
this, hut he is bound by a moral
law which no one has yet in the en
tire history of the country, dared to
violate. If any elector does not
propose to perform tho duty for
which he was chosen, or if he feels
that he cannot conscientiously sup
port Mr. Taft in the electoral col
lege, he should at once withdraw
from tho ticket.
It ought to be plain to the dullest
conscience that this is the only hon
orable course to pursue. Under
existing circumstances no Republi
can elector can rightly cast his elec
toral ballot for Col. Roosevelt; for
Col. Roosevelt is not, and does not
claim to he the Republican candidate
for president. On the contrary lie
proposes to head n new parry with
a new name and new principles, in
direct antagonism to the candidates
named at Chicago nnd the principles
adopted there.
It is aside from the question to
say that Mr. Taft's nomination was
not honorably obtained. It remains
a fact that ho stands to-day unchal
lenged as the Republican candidate
for President of the United States.
Ills name as such will he on the olll
eial ballot at every polling phieo in
Pennsylvania. And under his name
will be the names of the Republican
candidates for the olllce of presiden
tial elector. It is inconceivable that
any man would permit the voters of
the state to cast their ballots for
him as elector, believing, and hav
ing a right to believe, that as such
elector ho would cast Ills electoral
ballot for Mr. Taft, when, as a mat
ter of fact lie intended to cast that
ballot for some other candidate.
This would ho obtaining votes under
false pretenses.
Tho situation is unniistakahly
clear. Tho proper course of every
Republican candidate for the olllce
of presidential elector is undoubtedly
plain.
, INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Medical men In this country have
expressed tho hope that as a result
of tho Fifteenth International Con
gress on Hygiene and Demography,
which insets In Washington next
September, infantilo paralysis will
bo robbed of tho mystery which has
constituted its chief torror.
Do Maupassant remarks that tho
only real fear Is tho fear of tho un
known. This Is truo of diseases.
Those -which wo understand lose
their terrors for us, while tho ones
that havo hitherto baffled medical
science All us with an almost super
stltlous dread.

.ll'LY 12, U)ll
Much money and time have been
expended in the effort to Isolate the
micro-organism that produces infan
tile paralysis, but as yet all the In
vestigatlons in all tho countries of
the word have produced no en
cournging results.
The International congress pro
poses to devote a generous portion
of its time to comparing notes and
mapping out a plan of campaign
against this malady, and it Is Reliev
ed that the assembling of data from
many countries and the discussion
of it by tho most learned men of the
scientific world will evolve facts
which, up to the present time, have
eluded medical research.
If the forthcoming congress can
furnish us a remedy for, or a pre
ventative of, infantile paralysis, or
provide a clue to its origin, it will
have performed a sgnal service to
mankind.
GET AFTER THE FLY.
Now is the time to "swat" the
fly!
We have It on the hest authority
and we have no need to have any
authority for common sense tells
us the same thing.
The move against the fly Is gen
eral. It Is not nearly so general
nor so vigorous as it ought to be,
however, and there is hope that in
days to come there will be such a
pronounced campaign against this
disease-breeder and germ carrier
that something of real Importance
will be accomplished.
It is always time to "swat" the
fly, but it Is especially so at the
beginning of the season as tho more
that is dono at that time the fewer
flies there will be to breed and to in
flict humanity with their progeny.
The fly is a very prolific breeder.
Each female hatches out six or
more batches of eggs before she
dies and in each batch there are one
hundred and twenty eggs. It has
been estimated that from one fe
male fly 199 qulntilllon of germ car
riers may descend In one season.
From this It will be appreciated
that killing flies at the beginning
of the season will go far toward
keeping down the number of flies
which will 'pester us through the
summer and If tho movement were
so general that all flies were killed
on sight the result would be a ma
terial cutting down in tho number
of flies.
But, the most important way to
light the fly is to get after the 'breed
ing places of tho pests.
Flies breed in filth, In garbage,
manure heaps, drains, stagnant wa
ter and such places. If all house
holders were to take particular
pains to keep their premises In such
condition that there would be fewer
breeding places for flies the result
would be marked. That Is princi
pally what the movement against
flies is aimed at. It is to get all
people Interested in removing tho
places where flies may breed so that
the thousands and thousands which
ordinarily would hatch out each
day will never come to life to carry
their burden of woe and misery to
the people of tho world.
Cleanliness Is the greatest foe of
disease. It Is so directly and In
directly. Lack of it not only makes
a fertile spot for disease but It
breeds all the carriers of disease
who do such tremendous work In
spreading illness and bringing death
to thousands each year. .
It Is no trilling matter this war
on the fly. It Is ono In which each
of us Is vitally Interested. It Is a
crusade against death and disease
nnd there ought to bo tho greatest
interest taken In it by all In every
station of llfo and tho fight should
ho waged relentlessly. Tho fly is
tho common enemy of all. Down
with him!
HOYS, OBEY YOUR PARENTS.
An exceedingly pitiful caso was
presented beforo Judgo Searlo on
Monday la3t, when a young lad with
tho weight of only eleven summers
on his shoulders, appeared In court.
Tho boy's mother had passed to her
reward throo years ago and without
a mothor's love, caro and watchful
ness tho lad drifted for himself.
Tho hoy, vhon questioned by tho
judge, could distinguish right from
' 1. . . t 1 1 ! 11 . . t
muusi uut uniiiji iu lia'K oi disci
pline he was Inclined to do wrong, '
Tho father of tho lad said ho punish
ed his son, but It apparently did no
good. Why didn't it do any good?
Because the father lacks patience
nnd did not use diplomacy in chas
tising the child. There would be
fewer " spoiled " children if tho
parents used tnct in correcting their
children. Children should be taught
to obey their parents. (More can be
done by reasoning nnd talking with
a child thnn by thrashing him. An
other fault that should be remedied
is allowing growing children to re
mnin up all hours of the night and
roam about on the streets after
dark. It may surprise some of our
readers if tho writer should tell
them that he did not go out of his
yard to play until ho was eight years
of age. .Nevertheless It was a fact
and we today thank our dear moth
er for it. This Is a fast age and par
ents ought to keep their eye upon
their offspring. A carefully trained
child will never bring remorse or
contrition to his or her parent's
heart.
