Compulsory Vaccination.
The city board of health has done
the right thing in ordering compul
sory vaccination. The thing to do
is to see that the order is carried out.
We have no doubt this will be done.
It is strange that it should be neces
sary to force any one to do that
which is for his good. It is true that
vaccination is a preventive and it is
also true that we have smallpox in
our midst. Then why not stamp it
out and prevent its spread by vaccina
tion. Only the other day we read
where there were thirty or forty
cases of smallpox among the white
citizens of a town in this state and
that the disease had spread and was
spreading because the proper officers
had taken no steps to enforce vaccina
tion, or to isolate those who had the
disease.
Smallpox has been in the state for
the past eight years and it could be
stamped out by vaccination. It should
be done.
The board of heal-h of this city has
done the right thing and should have
the hearty co-operation of the citi
zens generally.
The graded school should not be
opened until the children have been
vaccinated. \\'ith proper precautlon
and the co-operation of the people
*ith the officers :he spread of the dis
ease can be stopped.
Gov. Vardaman. of 'Mississippi. has
been criticized for what some con
sider discourtesy to the president of
the United States and his utterances
on the negro question, but the fol
lowing paragraph from his recent
Thanksgiving proclamation is worth
reproducing even this far from the
date of its first publication:
"In the great bank of eternity I
believe the greatest credit will be
given to him who has contributed
most to the sum oi human joy, who
has planted a flower in the fainting
heart of despair and kissed it with
the sunshine of hope; and who has
painted the pallid cheek of care with
the rose of health and happiness. Let
us, therefore, remember the poor with
our substance."
That is good arnd 'could be applied
at any time of the year as well as on
Thanksgiving day. The Kansas
City Star in commenting on the senti
ment and 'its manner of expression
say's:
"The country at large had not
suspected the fiery Mississippian of
entertaining such tender sentiments.
The great bank of eternity, the flow
er planted in the heart c f despair,
the painting of the pallid theek of
care with the rose of hea'h---who
could resist the appeal of these im
passioned images? Not the least
of Mississippi's reasons for Thanks
giving is it poet-governor."
SThe New York state court of ap
peals has decided that the eight hour
labor law adopted in that state is uin
constinutianal. There was differ
ence of opinion in the court and a
dissenting opinion was filed. It is
said vhile the opinion decides this
paricular case in question the law or
the principle of the law is not clearly
decided. The dissenting opinion
holds that -an eight hour law is per
fectly constitutional because "it is a
police ,regulation in the interest of
public health and morality."
We believe such a la'w is not only
constitutional but right and -'that
such a law in this state, reducing 'the
hours of labor in our factories, would
be in the interest of public health and
ot only so but with shorter hours
better production and more of it
could be obtained. In fact there is
a law now fixing the number of
hours, but they are too long and
should be reduced at least six hours
per week. WVe believe it would be
to the interest of the employer and
the employe to have such a law.
In commenting on the heavy re
ward offered by Gov. H{eyward for
R. A. Adams., of Colleton county, the
Hampton Guardian has the follow
g:
"1 Sheriff. Buford, of Newberry,
... tindlAe this case Murderer
Adams would be back in jail in a
short time. Newberry's sheriff has
captured more escaped prisoners than
any sheriff in the state."
This is a compliment to Sheriff
Bufard anl he deserve it.
1,,n fact it is the dmv of the sheriff
to capture al perS0ns charged with
crime in their respective counties
without reward.
Adams has been captured and the
sheriff of Colleton makes no claim
for the reward. Sheriff Buford has
never made claim for reward for any
