Imprisoned Sanclmnt and hi up

were not granted, to annul the exten--sion.
to repay the 1 1.000.000 paid for

This proposition waa rejected by the
Unitei States. The Colombian Con

There ia alway a little typhus of a

lpall- by reason, of conditions In
M-.xico. there Is some danger to the
people or this eountry of that virulent
fo'in cf tnhoid known as prlsor. fever,
ship lever and camp fever.
Typhus fever somewhat resembles
typhoid fever. Most cases of mild ty
phoid are called modified typhoid or
atypical typhoid. In New York for a
while they called this mild typhus
Brill's disease. This form of typhus
runs a count omewhat like typhoid.

The second part of the method for
the control of the disease employed by
n. 41.. .i . . ait ntnera who are com
bating typhus now consists in efforts
at the eradication of lice. Of all human
parasites -avhlch infect the people of
the United States lice are the most
nearly universal. Tney are me oane 01
school teachers, school nurses and
school Inspectors. The nuisance of the
thing Is enough for some people. The
nuiuance plus the danger should be
incentive enough for all people. They
aay we are gotnu to follow up a yellow
foverless Cuba and a malarialess Pana
ma with a louseless Mexiro. Why not
begin with a louseless Chicago. Bos
ton Memphis and Portland?
The best remedy against lice Is kero
sene oil. Hairy parts of the body are
to be washed with equal parts of kero
sene and vinegar. The hair soaked in
the mixture is to be covered with a
towel for one hour. Then some or the
oil Is cleaned out and the hair is Iftjt
undisturbed for 12 hours. It Is then
washed in carbollo soap. Twenty-four
hours later the process Is to be re
peated. Kerosene kills the lice and
vinegar kills the nits. Washable cloth
ing is to be boiled. Clotbint? which
cannot be boiled can sometimes be
washed with kerosene or kerosene and
soapsuds. In times of epidemic the bed
is covered by a spread which haa been
sponged with kerosene. The bed posts
and thealegs of chairs are set in kero
sene cups.
1'hvslcians and nurses wnomusicomo
in contact with infected lice wear silk
underwear and a apeclal outer garment
devised to keep out lice. This garment
la closed at the ankles and wrists with
adhesive strips and kerosene ointments
are used at the wrists, ankles, and neck
to keep the lice off. This outer garment
la removed and boiled after each visit
to Infected quarters.
In Chicago about the only precaution
needed Is the kerosene-vinegar wash
for the hnlry parts of the body and
boiling the underwear.

PORTLAND. Feb. 10. (To the Kditor.)
I was born and raised In Douglas
County of American parents and had
never been out of the state. I mar
ried. 20 year go. an Englishman who
had no citizenship papers, nor did he
ever take out any. He has been dead
10 years. Have I not a right to vote

an alien disfranchised me? Also I have
a cousin who married a Flnlander who
never took out papers. She has been
divorced. Doe that restore her citi
zenship? a-
The law provides that when the
marital relation Is severed the woman,
who took the nationality of the hus
band on marriage, may resume her
American citizenship by returning to
or continuing to reside in the United
States, or by registering with the
American Consul abroad within one
year. Death no doubt may be con

Socialist Want . Political, tiot Ron
Partisan, Supreme Bench.
PORTLAND, Feb. 10. (To the Ed
itor.) It is because I believe in, and
that tha Government of these United
Slates was intended to be, a demo
cratic government, founded on democ
racy and administered in a representa
tive manner that I write this letter.
It is because of the violation of and
the disrespect for these principles that
.11 ji,L-n..t fnr irnvernment exists.
It is, probably, because President Wil
son realizes there is a "judicial bed
lam" among the citizenry, wno arc mo
real Judges, that he made the appoint
ment of Louis Brandels to the Supreme
bench.
If any proportionate number of citi
zens believe in any certain thing they
have a right, in that proportion, to be
heard where education and government
emanates. If. since they have been
grouped together, the trade-unionists,
the socialists and the anarchists, form,
as they do, a proportionate number of
the citizenry, they must be proportion
ately represented, or the Government
does not derive its "power from the
consent of the government" and we
have not a representative democratic
government. It is surprising how this
Idea of autocratic government prevails
to the extent that it does.
We should be taught, if we do not
understand, that it was on account of
the lack of fair representation or, rath
er, misrepresentation in the Judiciary
in the "Dred Scott decision" that de
nied the rights of minority considera
tion, that this Nation was plunged
Into the civil war of the Re
bellion. Had proportionate representa
tion. In state Assemblies, In National
Congress and in courts of justice been
the programme it would not have taken
a civil war to have set in motion the
forces that educated the people against
slavery. We must understand that it
was not the war that brought about
the changed opinion, now universal, of
the rights of the colored race, but the
education that followed the war. which
should have preceded the war, and
there would have been no war. The
President probably foresees another
nm Scott decision with regard to labor
and has acted wisely.
We trust the North laKima jtepiiDiic
did not speak more wisely than it knew
in the interests of good government.
It is not the denial of representation,
but the enforcement of it, that will
perpetuate democracy. Autocracy In
..i.i.t.i-inv tha nffHim nf thin Gov
ernment, such as The Oregonian stands
for in the Brandels supreme i,ouri ap
pointment, in United States Congress,
In state Legislatures, as well as in
municipalities, is destructive of gov
ernment such as Is declared for in the
Constitution. It is Just such misrepre-
........ .nv.rtim.nl that has olunvred
Europe into this awful war. It Is gov
ernment by an exclusive, aoimuaiius
class without regard for others. It is
the price we have paid and are paying
for lack of representation In govern
ment. When will autocracy cease and the
world's savior, democracy, solve the
problem of civilization?
C. W. BARZEE.
Mr. Barzee's speculations over the
Dred Scott decision are peculiar.
When two elements aro willing to fight
over a principle, the idea that a court
decision in favor of one will insure
peace while a decision in favor of the
other will reduce the issue to a matter
of peaceful education is novel, to say
the least.

as to Aatorla Problem.
CANBY, Or., Feb. 9. (To the Ed
itor.) About the Portland-Astoria rate
business, may 1 ask someone, perhaps
it should be an -expert." would it be
cheaper to haul 180 cars of wheat from
Portland to Flavel by railroad than
It would be by water? Also would it
be cheaper to bring in a cargo of sev
eral thousand tons, stop at Flavel. dis
charge and load same on railway cars,
haul up and again unload at Portland,
than it would be for the ship to glide
right along to Portland and handle car
go once instead of three times?
Let us have a deep channel from
Portland to the sea, with proportionate
rates for the difference in the railway
haul over either Flavel or Puget Sound.
That is only asking Justice.

Allen Wife' Rights.
ABERDEEN', Wash.. Feb. 9. (To the
Editor.) Will you kindly answer a
question through The Oregonian re
garding the legal status of a native
born American woman, married to an
alien, whose marriage took place prior
to the passing of the ' alien law"? Has
she a right to vote or does that law
affect her the same as if she had mar
ried an alien after the enactment of
that law? . K- w-
A woman who marries an alien takes
the nationality of the husband, and her
right to vote depends on whether he
meets the requirements. The recent alien
voting law has caused Eome confusion,
but the authorities deny the right of a
woman married to an alien to vote un
til the husband has met the require
ments. Taking Additional Land.

A GRANDMOTHER GFVES VIEWS
Reply to "Father" and Father Black
on Birth Control Ih Made.
PORTLAND, Feb. 10. (To the Editor.
I have longed to express my indig
nation of the views of "A Father" ever
slnco reading his letter in The Ore
gonian. Then the dignified and pathetio
letter of a "Widowed Mother" brought
the matter freshly to my mind, and
my indignation has again burst forth.
I was further incensed by the article
on page 4 (Monday's issuo) of Tho
Oregonian, giving the archaic and ig
norantly prejudiced views of a Catho
lic priest. Truly these men belons
to the dark aires! I long with all my
soul to be able to inflict on both "A
Father" and Father Black the ability
to give birth to just one child each!
After one ordeal their heroic souls
would crv for mercy, and their beau
tiful thoughts of race propagation
would be forgotten in a frenzy of self
presorvation. Even certain savaga
tribes of Africa have more feeling and
regard for their women than these
men, restricting the number of births
to one in four years for each woman.
I agree with an eminent lecturer of
this city, in referring to the succes
sion of wives acquired by an old pio
neer preacher, that if he could havo
had them all at one time, instead of
tandem, thev would probably be alive
today. If "A Father" could, with -hia
views, be relegated to the time of Solo
mon, I am sure his wife would be &
happier woman. What does such a
man care for the uplift, comfort and
progress of his family? Think of his
poor mother' miserable existence, 1C
children and no servant, and he boasts
of it! Aside from the mere fact of
giving birth to these children, think
what her days of ministering to their
daily wants must have been. May her
reward be great!
Ignorance and subservience to their
lord and master of the household is
what these bigoted, unfeeling men de
mand of womankind unfeeling be
cause they have never felt, never
known sympathy, never experienced
physical suffering. Better a. thousand
times to belong to a savage race than
for a woman to come under the do
minion of such men.
A GRANDMOTHER. .
Hen Help In Dull Times.
EUGENE. Or., Feb. 9. (To the Edi
tor.) In these days, when so many
are unemployed and are troubled to
maintain their families, it seems un
fortunate that they have not learned
what a good bunch of pullets (culled.
It may be, from the chickens brought
into commission houses in the Fall)
may do toward keeping the family
going. Here in Eugene the other day
a discouraged man who had a fine plot
of ground jumped into the Willamette,
and so took his life. Had such a man,
so situated, what I have in the way of
family producers, he need not get dis
heartened. My 16 lusty pullets tho
last three weeks laid $4 worth of eggs,
yet their feed cost me but $1.55. Why
may not thousands do what a few of
us in these strenuous times are doing?
A man who has, as I chance to have,
five dozen eggs a week coming from
pullets which are costing him but 5
cents a week to keep need not despair
when for a few months the call of
the labor market is not heard. To be
sure, one must learn how to care for
and feed hens to get such results, but
it is worth while, especially as he may
get lots of pleasure out of it. For one,
I should be happy to pass on to pros
pective hen-owners such knowledge as
I have found necessary.
