PUT OX THE CHECK REIXS Soon the primary election will be on. After that comes the general election ami then comes the gathering of the State legi i . lature. it is the latter meeting and its purpose that we wish to speak of. While there are ex ceptions to this thought, we gather from precedence that the average legislator takes his journey to Salem intent upon the amount of legislation he can help enact rather than the per fection of existing laws and their intiuence upon the welfare of the commonwealth. We need laws for our individ ual protection and common good so that we may not trample upon each others rights, but it is not in the multiplicity of enactments that we shall find the most bene fit, but in the perfection of those we do enact, hence we need guards to look after our inter ests more than we do men to penetrate the labyrinths of thought for the purpose of en acting new schemes into law. A Triumph For Science General Gorgas is sharing with Colonel Goethals the honor for the triumph at Panama. It was General Gorgas who drove yellow fever from the canal zone, who made it a place as healthy as any spot in the states, who made it possible for a workman to work unmenaced bv disease that came upon a man suddenly and as suddenly slew him Gorgas deserves as high tribute as Goethals. Just as Goethals has given as surance that there are few pro jects in tne way ot engineering which may not be attempted uow, so Gorgas has driven away the bugbear of climate. He ha proved that the white man properly protected, can flourish in the tropics, do a strong man's work and pursue happiness witl the vigor of pursuit in the tern porate zones. The things that are most to be feared under the equator are not wild beasts and a hot sun, but insect pests which arethe curriers of terribledisease Worgas banished these insect pests from Panama. By the same simple means they can be banished from other parts of the tropics. With their going a new world will have been opened up for the Caucassian races, new lands and fair cities. Goethals showed what organi zation and persistence and modern mechanical appliances could do. Gorgas showed the wonders of science. As time goes on, Gorgas' work is likely to have a far more profound in fluence on civilization than Goethals'. Toledo Blade. ship.
