VACATION SON.
BY KATHKBIKK LEK BATBR.
I have closed my book and hidden my slate,
And thrown my satchel across the gate.
My school is out for a season of rest,
And now for the school room I love the best.
My school lies on the meadows wide.
Where under the clover the sunbeams hide;
Where the long vines cling to the mossy bars,
And the daisies twinkle lite fallen stars ;
Where clusters of buttercups gild the scene.
Like showers of gold-dust thrown over the green,
And the wind's flying footsteps are traced as they
pass,
By the dance of the sorrel and dip of the grass.
My lessons are written in clouds and trees.
And no one whispers, except the breeze.
That sometimes blows, from a secret plane. '
A stray, sweet blossom against my face.
My school-bell rings in the rippling stream
Which hides itself like a school-boy's dream.
Under a shadow and out of sight,
But laughing still for its own delight.
My schoolmates there are the birds and bees.
And the saucy squirrel, less wise than these.
For he only learns, in all the weeks,
How many chestuuts will fill his cheeks. (
My teacher is patient, and never yet
A lesson of hers did I once forget:
For wonderful love do her lips impart.
And all her lessons are learned by heart.
O come! O come! or we shall be late,
And autumn will fasten the golden gate.
Of all the school rooms, in eust or west,
The school of nature I love the best.
Diphtheria.
Withfn the last few months the med
ical profession in Boston has been giving
earnest and extended consideration to
this modern disease, which has so rapidly
come to be one of New England's three
great scourges the other two being con
sumption and pneumonia. We present,
in brief, some of the more important
facts elicited by the discussion.
1. Contrary to previous belief, there
seems to be no special relation between
its prevalence and bad drainage or other
unsanitary conditions. The best dis
tricts in Boston have suffered as much as
the worst ; in some cases even more so.
It is the same elsewhere, as careful in
vestigations attest.
2. Its prevalence must at present be
regarded as due to direct personal con
tagion. It is greatest in the school
months, with a marked " falling off in
July and August Patients are often al
lowed to go about . freely during: conva
lescence, while not yet fully free from
the disease.
Doctor Folsom says, "It is not uncom
mon for me to see patients in the out
department, who ' come with diptheria,
sitting side by side with patients affected
with other diseases, thus exposing
many persons to the danger of infection
during the time they remain in the
waiting-room of the hospital."
Some of these persons have ridden to
the hospital in crowded cars.
But mild cases are the chief source of
the trouble. Doctor Prince says, "It is
my constant experience to meet with
case after case of undoubted diphtheria,,
where there are patches of membrane in'
tne throat, and yet tne symptoms are so
mild that the child is allowed to mingle
with the rest of the family and go about
the streets. I think there is no ques
tion that such cases are the most prolific
sources of the contagion."
Further, among the cases that often
fail to be recognized are those of nasal
diphtheria. The membrane is out of
sight, and for a time,-at least, the dis
ease la easily mistaken for a cold. It
should be remembered that this, and all
the lighter forms of diphtheria, may
give rise to the most malignant.
3. A case ot malignant diphtheria is,
not seldom, mistaken for one of mem
branous croup, commonly regarded as
non-contagious. It is, therefore, neither
reported nor duly guarded against.
4. It is necessary that diphtheria
should be taken charge of as a contagious
disease by the board of health, with full
powers and all adequate provisions, and,
further, that measures should be taken
for the better understanding of the dis
ease by the people.
5. Diphtheria is -a most debilitating
disease. One of its chief dangers is
death by . heart-failure, and that, too,
when the patient seeme to be in a state
of convalescence. From the first every
thing should be done to keep up the
strength by food and stimulants.
Causes of Crime.
The Arena.
No one who studies the problems of
poverty and crime can fail to be impress
ed With the power of the saloon as a fac
tor in the degradation of the human race.
Rum makes criminals of the poor. In
the city of New York alone there are
nearly 8,000 saloons.
Below 14th street there are 111 Pro
testant churches and 4000 saloons.
These whiskey shops' control the politics
of the empire city, fill the criminal courts,
and make the lives of tens of thousands
miserable.
Mr. Justice FitzGerald says that in
Ireland intemperance is the cause of
nineteent-wentieths of the crime.
Grant' Famous Word.
Ulysses S. Grant, the greatest soldier
of the war of the rebellion, was born on
the 27th day of this month, 1822. Tem
perance people have adopted his famous
dispatch : "I propose to fight it out on
this line if it takes all summer." Yes,
and many summers. -
A drunken young man broke in to the
White House. This brings this terrible
curse home to the chief magistrate of our
country. The telegram says that Pres
ident Harrison helped to tie his hands,
so that he could be removed without do
ing further damage. Did the president
ask himself if he had done all he could
to drive the saloons out of the district of
Columbia?
The president and his appointees, the
district commissioners, can do a great
deal more than is done to put down this
infernal evil. Advance.. .
The saloon is one of the feeders " of the
immorality that flourishes under cover,
and which, more than any other one
thing,' is undermining Bociety and enerv
ating manhood and. womanhood today.' .
The facts are. known. It is useless to
make laws against it unless the people,
are 'aroused. W-hen- all can see and feel
that, a saloon; is a worse evil to a commu-
iiity than a shanty' iiiioa with lepers,
then . will they arise and . cleanse the
country of its greatest misery breeder,
which- carries a thrill of misery, a throb
of degaadation, wherever it falls.
The King of Samoa is determined that
his subjects shall be" sober. The follow

breach of which is to be visited by heavy

to be bought or bartered by any native
Samoan or Pacific Islander resident in
Samoa."
"A matter of moment Time.
The Single Tax Question.
Portland, Or., May 29, 1891.
Editor Chronicle Will yon grant
me space just this once to add a little
more on the single tax. question?
The Chronicle having admitted that
the owner of a townsite who sells out for
a "cool million" has' "never earned a
dollar of this money" simplifies the situ
ation greatly. In other words it is con
ceded that the land values are created
by the community, hence belong to the
community and no individual has a right
to absorb them. For all purposes of
government which require taxation to
carry them out we see that here is a
natural fund which belongs of right to
society. The progress of civilization
which brings men together gives a value
to land. Some land is more valuable
than others, the law of supply and de
mand fixing its price. Hence the indi
viduals who use land are in justice re
quired to pay society according to the
value of the land they use. Beyond the
collection of these ground rents society
should not go. All- wealth that a man
may acquire in excess of these from the
use of that land (be it city lot, watsr
power, mine or farm), it is' none of
society's business to enquire into as long
as the rights of other men are not tres
passed upon.
Let us take the case of the man who
sells a townsite for a "cool million."
The only reason that such a price was
obtainable was that the annual rental
value of that sight was for convenience,
let us say ten per cent, of the selling
price; in other words $100,000 per an
num. The men who purchased it," no
matter how they came by their money,
did so because it was worth that much
to them collectively for purposes of busi
ness, for these values still remain and it
is with them alone society has the right
to deal. Society by its presence and
labors is still making this land . valuable
and has the right to demand its own. If
the Chronicle will ponder on the situa
tion in Wasco county it will find an easy
solution of the tax levy problem on the
basis of the single tax. A real estate
value of a million and a half has been
shown does any man believe that, ex
empting improvements of all kiuds, the
land Value of Wasco county is less . than
a million? On the basis of $100,000 an
nual value, and allowing a very healthy
margin to land owners for collection of
rents, etc., how easy to raise the $62,500
without doing injustice to any man ! '
Now as to our millionaire; whose
business is it what he does with his
money as long as he conforms to
police regulations? He and his money
may remove to parts unknown, in which
case the community where he acquired
his wealth could no longer tax him if it
wanted to. He may stay where he
"made his pile," in which case his
money, whether he embarks in enter
prise or loans it to others for various
purposes, will by its presence add to the
value of the land. Producers and con
sumers alike give value to land that is
make it profitable for some one to make
use of that land. If a merchant pays a
high rent the reason is that the location
is such that he can do business enough
to justify him in paying such a rent.
The ultimate -question is who shall re
ceive that portion of the rent that be
longs to the land value? Society that
gave it that value or some individual
who did not?
The poor man referred to, on his
homestead, will, under the single tax,
have httle or no tax to pay because his
land, improvements counted out, and
valued as it would be if never a plow
had been stuck in the ground or a grub
torn out, will have very little value.
Taxation will be transferred to the rich
centers of population, where a single lot
ia worth a whole township of homestead
land. The man with a herd of cattle on
the public range is engaged in the meri
torious business of raising food for society
and should not be taxed therefor;
When the land he occupies becomes
more valuable for other purposes it will
acquire a rental value which society
should tax. In the matter of the poor
settler who cannot protect his crops
against the depredations of his neigh
bor's stock it only shows that he does
not get "value received" for the taxes
he now pays. If society taxes him it
should protect him, as Kansas and
Nebraska do by the herd law. In those
states every man must herd his stock;
and crops, which do not trespass on
other people's land, are "turned out
doors."
Pardon this long effusion which is,
however, too short to do the subject jus
tice. Wallace Yates.

Baby is sick. The woeful expression
of a Dee Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of A
druggist of the same city what waa best
to give a baby for a cold"? It waa not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte
nance showed that the pet of the familv,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy," was the druggist's answer.
"I don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine," said the teamster. You know
John Oleson , of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. "His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. ' Of course "it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, nd what is more, it cured the ba
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having uaed it
hiraBelt, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.
