STILL MAKING TROUBLE
FRIARS AT OUTS WITH FEDERAL
PARTY AT MASILA.
Motive Filipino Will Xot Again
Accept Priests Belonging: to
tke Orders.
A merry -war is on at Manila between
the Federal party and the Spanish friars,
who want to be restored to their ancient
Tights In the "parishes. The status of
these friars is one of the most troublesome
problems of the Philippines. Thousands
of the Catholic natives are violently op
posed to the friars, whom they blame for
the oppressions they suffered under Span
ish rule. It -will be remembered that m
' one of the insurrections the insurgents,
Hoeing before the Spanish soldiers, en
tered a town shouting "Long live Spain;
-death to the friars." Part of Archbishop
Chapelle's mission to Manila was to recon
cile the friars and the native Catholics,
but the effort proved futile. The natives
-will not again subject themselves to a
priesthood that tyrannized them.
That the sentiment against the friars is
EtiH alive is attested by the hostile re-
-ception which was recently given to a
, feeler put out by the archbishop of Ma
nila. It was announced that Father Se-
Ibastlan Lorondo, a Benedictine friar, had
been appointed to the curacy of Quiapo.
In Manila and other places natives col-
ilected on the streets and openly boasted
that they would not permit the Benedic
tine to fill the pulpit at Quiapo. The
'archbishop took the hint and averted
'trouble by revoking the appointment of
Friar Sebastian and nominating Dox Ca
lixto Villafranca. a native Filipino.
The war that is now on is being fought
out by Libertas. the newspaper organ of
the friars, and the New American In de
fense of the Federal party. In July Lib
ertas published an article which was in
tended to prove to Governor Taft that
the Filipinos are not trustworthy and that
the hope of the civil government is in an
alliance with the friars. Among other
things it said:
It the hanl be given them, they -will alo
' tako the feet; and if this be permitted they
will ascend to the chin and climb and fondle
all over those who consent to such treatment.
They are excessive in everything and will
put no check on their boldness until some day
the-patient and powerful government already
eatient w ith puerile insolence catches the ill
bred infant and dashes him against a stone
wall. Then he will come back humbly, with
cars slouching and his tall between his legs
and huddle up close to his master; and in ex
change for being taken back to grace, he -will
lick his hand and even something else, if it
be necessary, only to return to the same buf
fooneries as before; this comedy -will repeat
ltsolf as often as it can. so long as it Is as
sented to and permitted.
It would be far better to do away with
the whole Federal party, as they are not of
the present but of the pat. These. I say.
have launched forth on the broad road of
impiety and misbelief only when empowered
with a little authority, or when they ere
given some important or distinguished appoint
ment. It is then that their manner changes
entirely and they frisk about like a young
donkey in a green field without reverence of
.any kind and without the least consideration
for Justice or religious sentiment, or for the
conventionalities of society, fot even for their
own welfare can they control or moderate
their passions In the least; they are as the
wild men of the woods, forgetting everything,
and descending to the depth of iniquity. Apart
from all shame and their religion they will
commit the worst of crimes; and If they are
permitted to continue in their wild career thev
will compromise their protectors and bring the
odium of their actions on them as well.
Absolutely nothing can check them In their
mad race.
Tomorrow they may become reluctant and
balk and give Mr. Taft a kick, believing, of
course, that they aro doing him a kind turn.
One. day they will unconsciously destroy his
well-projected plan and the next day they
will ridicule him. and so on. Place no con
fidence in these ridiculous creatures, Sir.
Taft, they arc incapable of bringing any
project to a succesful termination, be It good
or bad.
If the government of Mr.. Taft does not call
a. halt to these transgressions and lawless acts
of the Federals and to other worse crimes
that will result from their boldness, the whole
world will know and understand what the
boasted liberty of the I'nlted States really is
and how the Catholic Filipinos, the religious
orders and Spanish missionaries are being
treated here: and the many Innocent Catholics
In Europe think they would prefer the church
separated from the state, as in America, and
contrary to the usages in France and other Eu
ropean countries, where the Cath&llc church
has the protection of the state, even be it
curtailed or under oppression, are laboring
under a great delusion and are very much de
ceived. "Without prejudice we encourage all Catho
lic Filipinos, by their Constitutional right. n
defense of their religious .liberty, to employ
iorclble arguments, and combat force, by
force. We are many, and whilst we do not
break the laws, as we hope not to by God's
favor, we fear nothing and nobody. If the
authority announce that It will not take care
to rrotect our most sacred rights, we will re
mind our oppressors and foes that the right
of personal defense is the primary of alt
Tights and that religious sentiment Is the
strongest of all sentiments, and one that
cannot be trampled on with impunity. "We
shall not consent to be buffeted in such a
scandulous and provoking way. Well do we
know these traitors, thrice traitors and per
jurers, and that they are capable of any
crime; but we also know that they are cow
ards, and will run at the slightest symptom of
danger and desert their colors, without offer
ing the least resistance. Take care, gentlemen
of the Federal Darty.
The following statement of the relations
of the friars with the civil government
was given to the New American by Se
rapio Tarnayo, a Dominican friar:
Governor Taft is a good man and an able
man, but why does he protect our enemies,?
The Federal party is our enemy and the
enemy of the Americans, as well. Its mem
bers were formerly .members of the Katlpunan
and were rebels against Spain. They weie
leaders in the rebellion against the American?,
and if they ever have the opportunity will
lead another revolution As soon as they laid
down their arms they were gladly received
as allies by the Americans. They are bn the
side where they can reap the most advantage;
they are enemies to the Americans and will
never be otherwise. "Why does Governor Tart
protect them when they molest us and drive
us 'from our churches? "We are always law
abiding people, no matter whether under the
American or the Spanish' Government. "Why
are we not prcteted? At Cebu and other
places friars have been molested and their
church services have been broken up. The
Federal party people come into the church and
shout, ""Out with the friars. Out with Iho
friars." "Why Is this permitted? It they do
not care for the preaching of the friars they
are not compelled to go to church. They may
stay away.
Up to now the friars ha-e been very for
bearing. "We have not resisted when our ser
vices were broken up. If we are not pro
tected, however, we will protect ourselves.
"We will adopt the same tactics, as the Fed
eral party. "We will break up their meet
ings. If they come into our churches we will
light them. "We are foreign subjects and en
titled to travel where we. please and be
protected so long as we behave ourselves.
The Federal party people understand the
dialects of the different provinces. They in
cite the people while they pretend friendship
to the Americans, and the latter do not know
Jt. "We do not wish to be at odds with the
Americans: we wish to be friendly with them.
The Americans do not understand us. They
think we are worse than we are. Our enemies
circulate stories about us and get them
printed, but we with those white habits of
our brotherhood cannot be seen running around
to newspaper offices, and you ne'er come to us,
consequently people believe what our enemies
fay. "Why do 3ou not come to us when you
hear bad reports of us, and hear our side of
the case? "We mean nothing but good, but wo
desire the protection which our enemies are
now receiving, and unless it Is accorded us we
ahall adopt their tactics and protect ourselves,
by force of arms. If necessary.
Horses for British. Cavalry.
JOHN DAY. Aug. 20. An order from the
British Government for 75,000 cavalry
horses has brought buyers into Eastern
Oregon. They are picking up range ani
mals between 4 and 8 years of age.
Seventy-five bead of horses recently
trent from this point The buyers say
about 30 days is the average length of
life after a horse or mule reaches South
Africa. Some animals, of course, sur
vive and become acclimated, but the vast
majority die. It is for this reason that
cheaper horses are being bought and
the former standard of excellence for cav
alry horses has been entirely eliminated.
HARVEST IN FULL BLAST.
Fall Wheat in and Spring Crop Be
Ing Threshed.
Returns from the wheat fields continue
favorable, according to the weekly crop
of the Weather Bureau Issued yesterday.
The Fall wheat harvest is nearly finished
and Spring wheat cutting is well ad
vanced. Thcshlng is in active progress
and nearly everywhere the berry is re
ported plump and the weight and grade
good. The .threshing returns reported this
week are as follows: Washington county,
wheat 20 to 32 bushels, oats 30 to 70; Yam
hill county, wheat 18 to 25, oats 20 to 45;
Marion County, wheat 20 to 40 bushels,
oats 25 to 60; Polk County, wheat 20 to
30 bushels, oats 20 to 62; Linn County,
wheat 13 to 2S bushels, oats 16 to 45; Lane
County, wheat 20 to 26 bushels, oats 28
to 34; Benton County, wheat 15 to 27 bush
els, oats 25 to 30; Wasco County, wheat 25
to 30 bushels, barley 30 to 35; Umatilla
County, wheat 30 to 40 bushels; Union
County, wheat about 30 bushels: Douglas
County, wheat 15 to 30 bushels, oats 30
to 40, barley 30 to 40; Jackson County,
wheat 12 to 20 b'ushels, oats 20 to 49.
The second crop of alfalfa has been cut
and safely secured. The yields were some
what uneven, but, on the whole, averaged
about the same as usual. The hay crop
in the Coast counties has been secured
in excellent condition, with yields above
the average. Hops are making rapid ad.
vancement, and picking will begin early
this year. The growth of the hop vine
has not been sufllclent to make a large
crop and the yields will be considerably
less than last year, but the quality will
be better.
Potatoes are remarkably free from
blight. The yield of early planted pota
toes has been materially reduced through
dry weather, and without rain within a
week or two the crop of late-planted po
tatoes will also be a light one. Onions
in Washington County are reported as do
ing splendidly.
Stock continues doing fairly well, con
sidering the poor pasturage, but there
has been a sUght shrinkage In the sup
ply of milk received at the creameries.
The weather has been too dry and hot
for fruit, and prunes are dropping more
than usual In many sections in the Wil
lamette Valley and in Southern Oregon.
The crop, however, promises to be a fair
one, and the drying plants are being put
in readiness for operation.
The past week was the warmest week
of the season. The maximum tempera
tures In Western Oregon ranged between
76 and 96 degrees, and the minimum tem
peratures between 54 and 63 degrees. In
Eastern Oregon the maximum tempera
tures ranged between 72 and 100 degrees,
and the minimum between 52 and 80 de
grees. The weather turned cooler during"
the latter portion or the weeK, ana at
Its close temperatures below the normal
prevailed in all parts of the state. No
rain has fallen in the wheat sections of
Eastern Oregon since the middle of July
and none of consequence has occurred In
the "Willamette Valley since July 3. Good
rains, however, fell Sunday in the Bast
Central sections of the state, which will
help the ranges, but more rain Is needed
in all parts of the state for pastures
and late crops, such as hops, potatoes,
corn, gardens and fruit.
EAST SIDE NEWS.
Mrs. Lnnra Tamer Writing a His
tory of the Kelly Family.
Mrs. Laura Turner, of California,
daughter of the late Clinton Kelly, Is vis
iting relatives on the East Side. She is
writing a history of the Kelly family.
She Is assisted by her sister, Mrs. Sarah
Kerns. At the annual gathering of the
family this year over 75 members were
present, but in Yakima, Wash., there
are over 30 members of the Kelly
tribe. The home cf Thomas Kelly, the
sole surviving brother of Clinton Kelly,
is in the Yakima country. Two families
live in California, and the members of
the Kelly stock are widely scattered. Per
haps If all could be got together they
would outnumber any other family in
the state. "Father" Kelly, as the head
of the family was familiarly known in
Portland for many years, came to Ore
gon in 1S4S, and made his home on what
Is now known as the AVaverly tract.
Xoiv Favors Annexation.
W. E. Brainard, of Mount Tabor, who
has heretofore opposed annexation of
that district to the city, is now favorable.
"I have not favored annexation of Mount
Tabor Tor a long time," he said, "but
I suppose that we must come In sooner
or later, and perhaps the sooner the bet
ter. A large number want to come in
so they can get Bull Run water. That
would not affect me In the least, for 1
have water in abundance. I shall neither
oppose, nor work for annexation. If
it comes, all right. I suppose that if the
matter were put to a vote In the district
there "would now be a majority
in favor of annexation. I do not know
how our school debt, which is 514,000,
would affect our coming In. The district
has about $20,000 in property."
East Side Sotea.
The improvements to the building of
the Academy of St. Francis, East Twelfth
and East Oak streets, are nearly com
pleted. The Sunday school children of the Cal
vary Baptist Church, East Eighth and
East Grant streets, will go to Magoon's
Park today for an outing.
The janitor of Brooklyn school has been
authorized to fix up the grounds at once.
The shrubbery and lawn are in bad con

CARNIVAL HORTICULTURE
FRUIT INTERESTS "WILL BE "WELL
REPRESENTED.
The BIgr Exposition Building Is Now
Being Prepared and Exhibit
Space Allotted.
The horticultural Interests of the Pacific
Northwest will be well looked after at
the coming carnival. Fruits fresh, dried
and preserved will be on exhibition In
the Exposition building, and the display
will be large. It will be conveniently ar
ranged for examination. A liberal allot
ment of space is always made for the
horticultural display, and samples of
fruits are gathered from all over the
Northwest. It Is Intended that no local
ity shall be neglected, and all orchardlsts
are invited to send In their choice pro
ductions, which will be properly classed
and labeled for the Information of the
people. At the last two expositions the
horticultural displays were In charge of
H E.-jDoscb and B. S. Pague, who were
very successful in their departments. The
fruits were much admired, and thousands
of people examined them and commented
upon their quality and brilliant coloring,
and much valuable Information was given
out. Hon. E L. Smith, the well-known
frultralser of Hood River, has always
been an active and useful man In the
horticultural part of the expositions, and
It Is hoped that he will again represent
Wasco County. He always makes a
tasteful display, and gives Information
about -the fruit Interests of the .North
west. In connection with the fruit display it
Is proposed to Have an exhibit of Insects
that are injurious to fr-ult trees, and to
have them named, classified and de
scribed, thus giving out freely informa
tion that will be of vast benefit to the
people.
Diplomas will be awarded for displays
of fruits, vegetables and farm products
as follows:
Display and variety of apple3 by the pro
ducer. Display of prunes.
Display of canned and preserved fruits and
vegetables.
Display of pickles and sauce.
Display of dried prunes by the producer.
General display of vegetables, quality and
quantity considered.
Display of wheat, in grain and sheaf.
Display of barley, in grain and sheaf.
Display of oats, In grain and sheaf.
Display of rye. In grain and sheaf.
DUplay of corn. In ear and stalk, excellence
and variety considered.
Display of hops, not less than one bale.
Don't Delay.
There is no question about the good
business policy of making exhibits at the
carnival. It is a paying proposition. That
Is freely admitted by those who have
tried It at former expositions, and found
It the best kind cf an Investment. When
goods are attractively arrayed at an ex
position, fair or carnival, they are seen
by thousr.nds of people who would not see
them elsewhere In the ordinary course
of business. Therefore, it Is well for
those who are contemplating making an
exhibit at the carnival to make their ar
rangements' at once, and not wait until
the rush at the last, as many do. Blank
applications for exhibitors' space may be
had free at carnival headquarters, reom
534 Chamber of Commerce building. Ex
hibitors are not charged anything for
space. It Is Judiciously apportioned so
that all business people may have a fair
show. The best locations are, of course,
selected by the earliest applicants. Super
intendent Rowe Is at the Exposition
building every day now, allotting space
to exhibitors, who can thus see exactly
what their surroun'dlngs will be. The
number cf exhibitors is Increasing very
rapidly, so that all spaces will be filled
before the opening night.
Will Bring Them Out.
Expositions and carnivals bring out the
people, and afford them amusement, in
struction and healthful exercise. People
have abundant opportunity to promenade
all over the big building, see the exhibits
and see thousands of other people, and
listen to the best of music. They can
enjoy the' attractions of the great audi
torium, and pUt In an evening of rare
enjoyment, such as they will find only
at an exposition or carnival.
Array of Attractions.
The carnival amusement commrrtee
held a business meeting at carnival head
quarters last night and considered a large
number of offers from people who want
to entertain the great crowds soon to as
semble in the big Exposition building. The
committee had difficult work to select the
best from so many that were good, but
made headway with the task, and results
will appear when the carnival commences.
The array of attractions will eclipse any
thing ever seen on the Pacific Coast.
The Idea Is to have aerial acts In both
the east and west wlng9, and to give the
people a continuous performance.
One of the wonderful things that visit
ors to the carnival may be treated to is
O'Donnell's spectacular '-'Harvest Festi
val." It comprises a royal court, a new
departure In outdoor attractions, and very
appropriate for carnivals. It" has a grand
pageant which is unsurpassed, and shows
a village with cornfields on either side. A
party of harvesters, with horses and wag
ons, gather the crop. Heralds proclaim
the arrival of King. Corn, and a srand
procession is formed, the costumes ot
which rival the "rainbow. The King of
Fire details 50 nymphs carrying red-fire
Grecian torches, -making too grand and
brilliant a scene for pen to picture. The
costumes and qharlots and animals and
flags and banners make an inspiring
sight never to be forgotten.
An attraction being negotiated for by.
the carnival committee is that of
Norcmus, the bull wrestler. He is a col
ored giant and goes Into a ring, and as a
wild bull charges at him he takes the
bull by the horns and wrestles and throws
him. It makes an exciting scene.
A thrilling act that Is- being arranged
for the carnival 19 the great hlrh-alr bi
cycle rider, who rides a wheel on a t!rht
wire away above the heads of the people.
It has never before been seen In the
Northwest. Another rider wheels down
a long flight of steps at a speed of 40
miles an hour.
One of the greatest things that will be
seen at the carnival will be Captain
Meier's world's water wonders. There are
several men, women and children in the
company, and they do all sorts of aerial
acts, winding up In an artificial pond be
low, where they disport like ducks and
seals, doing wonderful work.
One of the all-around attractions already
engaged for the carnival is the great
Zambola, who has created a 'furore
wherever he has appeared. He eats fire,
Is an accomplished juggler and magician,
swallows swords, ventriloquises and does
everything else that is startling) and won
derful. The Pardon of Corcoran.
Salt Lake Tribune.
The pardon of Paul Corcoran in Idaho
will excite no surprise. That was prom
ised last year in consideration of the
votes which the northern dynamiters
promised to give, and which on election
day they did give. The Tribune pub
lished the fact just after Senator Helt
feld went to Butte and made the arrange
ment with the head center of the dyna
miters. Perhaps it was proper to pardon,
the -man. Possibly the man has, through
his sufferings and degradation, learned a
little wisdom, and that henceforth he may
live a decent life, though that is not gen
erally the rule. There would be nothing
to draw special attention to the matter
if it were not so palpable that his pardon
came of a bargain made between men
high In authority -and Corcoran's fellow
criminals. There is where the disgrace
comes in, and the shame extends to the
State of Idaho. When we reflect upon
how the state rewarded the sterling man
who, as Governor, stopped the deviltries
going on in Northern Idaho, it is hard
to. understand how in such a population
one poor wretch like Corcoran should be
picked out for punishment and all the
rest be permitted to go free.

Hays' Withdrawal From Southern
Pacific Opens the Way An East
ern Presidency Offered Him.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20 The Commercial
Advertiser says:
"The retirement of Charles M. Hays
from the presidency of the Southern Pa
cific Company will be followed by numer
ous changes on that road. A number of
high-salaried agents are to be dispensed
with, It Is sa'd, and Southern and Union
Pacific offices are to be consolidated
wherever practicable. A yearly saving of
several hundred thousand dollars, it is
estimated, can be effected by- such con
solidation. "l-resldent Hays placed h's resignation
in the hands of Mr. Harrlman some time
ago, and he Is expected to retire at Mr.
Harrlman's pleasure. Although Mr. Hays
has a five years' contract with the South
ern Pacific, he resigned voluntarily as soon
as he ascertained that the financial inter
ests which control this road had radical
changes In view regarding the manage
ment of both the Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific Railroads. Already rumor
has It that Mr. Hays has been offered
the pres'dency of an Eastern road.
3IAY AVOID COW CREEK.
Surveyors Supposed to Belong to
Southern Pacific Novr in Field.
GOLD HILL, Aug. 19 A party of
surveyors has been at work for nearl
two weeks on. Evana Creek, near Wood
vllle, eight miles from Gold Hill, and.
though their absolute silence concerning
their mission precludes more than a sur
mise, the character of their work Indi
cates that they are making a prellminary
railway survey. This gives rise to tne
story that the. Southern Pacific Is looking
for a route by which it may avoid the
difficult grades and dangerous slides of
Cow Creek Canyon, a section particularly
expensive of maintenance and operation.
If this be correct, the route will prob
ably lead from Myrtle Creek or Riddle up
the South Umpqua River, and, after
crossing the divide, run south through
Gullway Gap and down Evans Creek,
connecting again with the present main
line at or near Woodvllle. This will ef
fect a shortening In mileage of about 30
miles, and the country passed through
will be much smoother than the mountain
ous and rugged region now traversed. In
this event Grant's Pass will lose much of
Its present Importance, while Gold Hill
will become correspondingly greater. Gull
way Gap takes Its name from a pioneer
hunter and trapper of that name, who
made this section his field of operations
In early days. This route, or the greater
portion of It, was surveyed about 20 years
ago, In the interest of Ben Holladay, of
overland stage fame, Surveyor J. S. How
ard, of this place, doing the work. The
gap constitutes the lowest pass south of
the divide between the watersheds of the
Umpqua and Rogue Rivers.
LONG TUKNBL TO SHORTEN ROAD.
To Pierce the Sierra Nevndns for the
Central Pacific.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. The long
est railroad tunnel in the United States,
and one that will be numbered among the
four longest In the world, will be built
through the Sierra Nevada Mountains, of
California,. If the present plans of E. H.
Harrlman are carried out, says the Chron
icle. Chief Engineer Hood has sent out
a corps of 15 men to make preliminary
surveys, nnd their work Is expected to be
completed in six weeks. The tunnel project,
which will Involve an outlay of from
$3,000,000 to $5,000,000, contemplates the bor
ing of a hole 27.000 feet, something over rive
miles In length, through the heart of the
Sierras. Besides saving a climb of 1500
feet, the tunnel will shorten the road
about seven miles, and Is expected to ef
fect a great saving- In operating expenses.
It Is stated that with -the Sierra tunnel
built and the other plans of the com
pany for the straightening of curves and
reducing of grades In Nevada and Utah
completed, passenger trains could be run
between San Francisco and Chicago
easily In two and a half days. This means
an average speed for the whole distance
of not more than 40 miles an hour.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 20. Chief En
gineer Hood, of the Southern Pacific
Company, says that he has not received
instructions to make a preliminary sur
vey for the proposed tunnel through the
Sierras, although a party of surveyors
has been sent out for work In the direc
tion Of the mountains.
BRITISH ROADS UNPROFITABLE.
Higher Rates Recommended, but Not
LiUely Excessive Capitalization.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. The question ot
the position and prospects of British rail
ways as investments is exercising uik
minds of many people in this country just
now, says the London correspondent of
the Tribune. The Importance of the mat
ter cannot well be exaggerated, for the
capital involved amounts to something
like $6,000,000,000. Investors aro naturally
dissatisfied with the reduction In their div
idends and one solution, of the difficulty
which has commended itself to many
stockholders is the proposed raising of
fares and rates. At a time, however,
when cheap transit is admittedly one of
the first necessities of commercial prog
ress, such a reactionary policy Is not like
ly to be adopted.
Possibly the most urgent reform re
quired in the railway system of the United
Kingdom Is the replacement of a large
proportion of the present boards of di
rectors by thoroughly competent business
men. The Pall Mail Gazette points out
that while the average capitalization per
mile Is now $265,000, for every mile con
structed during the last two years $95,000
has been added to the capital. It Is im
possible to justify such a proceeding. The
boards of directors as at present consti
tuted cannot be expected to draw a rigid
distinction between capital and revenue
expenditure.
"The 'Frisco System."
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 20. Hereafter all
properties of the Kansas City, Fort Scott

San Francisco Railroad will be known un

This Is the effect of the consolidation of
the Memphis route and the 'Frisco line.
With the acquisition of the Memphis, the
'Frisco system now Includes 3500 miles
of railroad, and from date all the adver

OOK yourself squarely in the face and see

Ordinance Should Restrict Tubercu
losln. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. IS. (.To the Edi
tor.) It is to be hoped that no one and
especially our physicians and health offi
cers, laid aside his Sunday Oregonlan
without thorough digesting every line of
that comprehensive article on the "Rav
ages of Consumption," by Professor Bar
bour, of the University of Tennessee.
The admirable diligence which the au
thorities exercise In suppressing and iso
lating smallpox, for Instance, should not
exceed the same care in managing the
more common and pcrnic'ous menace to
health and- life which we term consump
tion. The urgent need of city ordinances
for the prevention of this Insidious dis
ease, together with a strict enforcement
of those already enacted, can be ques
tioned by none. Were the public thor
oughly Informed and alive to the contag
iousness of this dread malady, they would.
In sheer horror, not tolerate laws and
officials that permit the unfortunate suf
ferers from this awful monster to creep
about our public streets, ride and sleep
In cars with us, eat and live In hotels
with us; breathing out their fatal baccllll
and expectorating discharges teeming with
death's agents.
It seems that especial attention shou.d
be directed to the northern section of the
business portion of our city. The condi
tions which there obtain are most favor
able to the propagation of the germs of
tuberculosis. The ground Is low and
level; It Is largely Inhabited by those
who are Ignorant or careless of the sim
plest principles of sanitation; vice and
dissipation In all their depraved phases
run riot there: the many lodging-houses
and hotels are old, decayed, filthy, un
ventilated and crowded to their utmost
capacity with our diseased brothers and
sisters.
In the article above referred to the
writer suggests some very practical
methods by which this matter may be,
and has been regulated. And our authori
ties can do no greater service to us who
have chosen them to serve than by adopt
ing laws along the Hne3 proposed by the
humane doctor.
