Speaking of the political pot reminds us that it is assuming the
dimensions of a hogshead.
Some men, like the cinder in your eye, are remembered chiefiy
for the smart they leave behind.
If they keep on raising hell over in Europe much longer the

No man ever knows it all, although it is hard to convince a few
of this fact. \
Agitate for good roads. Agitate, agitate, agitate!
Just for a change, why not step over into the bright side of life
and speak of the good that there is in this town.
America is a good country. Let’s tie to It.
The progressive management of the A. B, & A. Railroad recog
nizes the importance to its territory of the development of the live
stock industry and has issued more than a thousand special invita
tions to farmers along its line to attend the Live Stock Show at
Moultrie on June 27th,
The largest breeders of cattle and hogs in the state have already
announced that they will have their best on exhibition at the stock
show. Ben Hill county will be represented by Hon. M. Dickson,
. . . . HED
with his Hampshire hogs, and a number of tdrmers have already ex
pressed their intention of visiting the show at Moultrie on that
date.
Nearly all of the leading breeds of cattle and hogs will be rep
resented at the conference—Herefords, Short-horns, Angus,. Devons,
Holsteins, Jerseys and other breeds of cattle, while Duroc-Jersey
Logs, Berkshires, Poland Chinas, Hampshires, Essex and other pop
ular breeds will be in evidence. There will be no auction sale of this
stock, but much of it will be for sale and those who come to buy good
breeders will find whatever they want in hogs and cattle.
Twenty-five per cent out of cvery 1,000 employees in American
industries according to recent statistics, are constantly incapacitated
Ly sickness, the average worker losing approximately nine days
cach year on this account. This “non-effective rate” for the great
army of industrial workers in the United States barely suggests the
total money loss to emplovers and employecs. The lessened effi
ciency, the effeets of reduced carnings in times of sickness, as well
28 the cost of medical attention, and the economic loss from deaths,
swell the cost to industry and to the Nation to almost incalcuable
figures. : :
That much of this loss is nothing less than preventable waste
and that this waste can be largely reduced by a properly conducted
system of governmental heaith insurance for wageworkers are con
clusions set forth in Public Health Bulletin No. 76, containing the
results of a study of “Health Insurance—lts Relation to the Public
Health,” just issued by the United States Public Health Service.
The preventive value of health insurance is given special em
phasis in this study. “Any system of health insurance for the
United States or any state should at its inception have prevention
of sickness as one of its fundamental purposes,” says the bulletin.
“This country should profit by the experience of Furopean countries
where prevention is being recognized as the central idea necessary
to health insurance if health insurance is to attain its greatest suc
cess in improving the health and efficiency of the industrial popula
tion.”
Such a system, it is pointed out in the bulletin, would
1. Provide cash benefits and medical service for all wage-earn
ers in times of sickness at much less cost than is now possible. Ade
quate medical relief would thus be placed within the reach of even
the lowest paid workers who are most subject to ill-health.
2. Distribute the cost among employers, employees, and the
public as the groups responsible for discase causing conditions and
afford these groups a definite financial incentive for removing these
conditions. This can be done by means of small weekly payments
from employees, supplemented by proportionate contributions from
employers and government at a rate reducible in proportion to the
reduction of sicknss,
J. Become an effective health measure by linking the co-opera
tive efforts of the three responsible groups with the work of Nation
¢ 1, State and local health agencies, and by utilizing these agencies in
tle administration of the health insurance system.
4. Afford a better basis for the co-operation of the medical pro
i .ssion with public health agencies.
5. Eliminate the elements of paternalism and charity-giving by
making employces and the public, as well as employers, joipt agents
1 the control of this fund.
- "A governmental system of health insurance,” concludes the
stidy, “can be adapted to American conditions, and then adapted
will prove to be a health measure of extraordinary value.” |

disinterestedly in Mexico’s aid

eration for her sovereignty.
Preparedness—
This will be treated under two
separate heads, one dealing with
what already has been accomplish
ed and the other with that which
is in the making. It will be
pointed out that the party has met
new world conditions demanding
preparedness for national defense
by pointing to the advanced stage
of preparedness of the navy, both
in ships and men; legislation has
already enacted for the enlarge
‘ment of the Naval Academy and
administration plans for rapid and
balanced enlargement of the na
tion’s forces for defense at sea,
Surpassed Republicans
It will be contended that more
probably has been done during
the threc years of Democratic ad
ministration than has been ac
complished for many years pre
ceding under Republican rule.
The enluargement of the regular
army and the re-organization of
the National truard, with provis
ions bringing it more thoroughly
under federal control, will be cit
ed among the measures of achie
vements for national defense al
ready accomplished.
Financial—
The federal reserve act, re-or
ganizing the currency system of
country to a basis calculfted to
provide for the expansion and
contraction of currency to meet
the fluctating courses of trade and
to bulwark the financial structure
of the nation against times of
panic wil Ibe pointed out as one
of the foremost achievements of
the party and an act which the
epublicans unsuccessfully dealt
with for many years. Pending
legislation for a system of rural
credits will be cited also in that
connection.
Reduction of Tariff
Tariff
The reduction of tariff duties
on a scale which the Democratic
platform markers would bring a
normal nicome for the support of
the government in normal times
will be pointed out as a party ach
ievement. The enactment of an
income tax will be presented as
one of thie party measures to bring
income to the support of the gov
ernmernt while dividing the burd
en according to the ability of the
individual to bear it; the creation
of a tariff commission for scien
tific study and readjustment of
duties to protect American indus

There is a limit to the amount of work horses
can do. That limit changes with the seasons,
with the weather, and with the condition of the

An International Motor Truck Has No Such Limit
Its service is not affected by seasors or weather
and very little by street and road conditions.

Stimulus in Trade ‘
The platform also will contend
that legislation at home and dip
lomatic dealings abroad have lent
a strong stimulus to American
foreign trade; and that as a re
sult industrial prosperity has been
greatly enhanced and f{foreign
Ltrade established on a firmer basis
|than ever before.
| The platform will charge that
the Republican platform is little
|more than an attack upon Demo
cratic achievements, offering no
constructive policy to take the
place of the measures assailed.
Senator Stone, because of his
position as chairman of the Sen
late foreign relations committee, is
lgencmlly accepted as speaking
%\‘»'ith the authority of the Presi
|dent on those phases of the plat
form. It was declared tonight that
Ino complete platform draft had
ibecu made. Besides the planks
{framed by President Wilson may
lhu\'c been submitted by adminis
itrntion leaders in Congress and
(others throughout the country.
Some may be added as the result
lnf the deliberations of the resolu
l‘cinns committee of the conven
‘tion, but the main features of the
iplat‘f( rm are practically certain to
ii)c as outlined in the foregoing.
WILSON IS CONSIDERING
SUCCESSOR TO HUGHES
Washington, June 12.—Selec
tion of a successor to Charles L.
Hughes on the supreme court al
ready is being considered by Pres
ident Wilson. Attorney General
Gregory probably will be called
into conference in a day or two,
and the appointment may be
made within the next two wecks.
Although the supreme court ad
journs today until October, de
partment of justice officials are
anxious that a new justice be ap
pointed quickly so that he can
give consideration during the
summer months to cases now
pending. This is considered al
most Imperative in view of the
fact that Justice Mcßeynolds is
barred from participation in con
sideration of the most important
cases because he took part in pre
senting them to the court as at
torney general.
It is understood that the presi
dent would like to appoints John
W. Davis, solicitor general, but
may be deterred from doing so be
cause Mr. Davis prepared a nums.
ber of cases now pending before
the department of justice. Sev
