WHEELING, DECEMBER :, 1894.


1t may well be that the ordinance de-
fining the powers of the health officer
could BIO improved. The health officer
IL of this opinion. In cases OF diph-
liberia, for example, We understand it to
be his opinion that he is not empowered
to act, cannot prevent persons from
going in and out OF house in which
there is such case, cannot require
yellow flag to be raised to indicate the
presence OF dangerous disease.
The ordinance says he may do these
things where there is smallpox, vario-
loid, Asiatic cholera, or other formidable
contagious disease. Diphtheria is ono
of the most formidable OF diseases-in
this day much. more to be dreaded than
small.pox-and it is easily COMMUNE
Gated.
Since any action of the health officer
in such matter would be in the pub.
lie interest and within the scope OF the
ordinance as council seems TO have in
tended, in any case of diphtheria he
should take all precautions that he
would ieel authorized to take in any OF
the diseases specifically named.
1t is not likely that anybody will dis
pu,e authority exercised for SO good a
purpose, and if that were to happen it
would bring the matter to test.
After all the health officer should not
be made to carry the whole burden
Of protecting the lives Of the people.
He should have the cordial cooperation
of everybody. Where there is a case of
diphtheria or other dangerous disease
the family should voluntarily put out a
yellow flag to give due notice that it is
not safe to visit the premises. should
have aslittle communication as possible
with the community, and take every
other precaution that an intelligent
physician will suggest.
Above all, in the case Of death the in
torment should be speedy and all the
funeral ceremonies strictly private. All
fabrics that might communicate the dis.
ease should be burned and the premises
thoroughly disinfected by fumigation
aud otherwise. There is no occasion
for a scare about diphtheria, but there
is great occasion for every precaution:
Human life is too precious not to be
protected in every possible way.

Az a result Of Admiral Walkers visit
to Hawaii two reports are in possession
Of the administration. One is to the
President and one to the secretary OF
the navy. 1t is believed that these re-
ports are important Especially it is
thought that the admiral shows that
MIR. Blount did not represent correctly
the conditions existing at the time the
new government was set up or the SEN
timent prevailing in the Islands with
regard to the new government and the
old.
1t ia Furthermore believed that the
admiral regards annexation rs desirable
from the point of view Of the United
States. So much has been said about
these reports that 1t is worth while to
give the people of this country access
10 them. Senator Lodge asks the sem
ate to demand Of the secretary OF the
navy such reports or letters as he may
have from Admiral Walker. II the res
olution pass the documents will be pro-
duced.
There seems to be some reason why
the administration prefers to keep them
in the dark. 1t has not desired to make
public anything that would discredit its
own policy towards Hawaii; but that
policy Is discredited by the whole in
cident.

seleotIne a COLLEGE for tho Boy.

Selecting n College Tor tho Boy.
A mother, who is also widow, writes
TO western newspaper to know wheth-
err there is a college that has no foot
ball team. Her son is ready for college
aud is studiously disposed. She would
like him to enter an institution where
this disposition may be encouraged.
She has been watching the newspa-
pers, and with regard to the colleges all
she hears of is foot ball, broken collar
bones, arms and legs, cracked noses,
and more of the same. She does not
hear OF college lectures, progress in the
arts, sciences or letters.
This mother, who has the impression
that colleges have run to foot ball, will
probably be told that the best foot ball
players are the best students in their
respective colleges, but she will proba-
bly, refuse to believe this, and she will
be right.
There is no reason why young men
who become sufficiently expert in foot
ball to represent their college in a fight
with the team OF another college shall
be the best students, and there is some
reason why they should not be. Every
student should take sufficient exercise
to keep in health, but time devoted to
sports beyond that point is time taken
from the study hours.
1t may be possible to single out a
bright man here and there and compare
him with one not SO bright, to the ad-
vantage OF the foot ball player on the
college team, but the general average
fairly ascertained would show some-
thing else.
When more parents follow the ex-
ample of this intelligent mother and
seek for their sons colleges in which
foot ball Is not the chief attraction, the
colleges will begin to see the point. and
they will come down.

Voting Made Easy.

Voting is made easy in tho western
counties OF North Carolina, if remark
able statement from that region may be
believed. Voters who find it inconven-
lent to 90 to the polls mail their tickets
to the election officers and they are de-
posted in the ballot box. In the recent
election a man died after mailing his
ticket and before it could be put in the
ballot box, but he voted nevertheless.
Not having at hand the North Caro-.
lima election law it is impossible to rem.
der judicial opinion on this way OF
voting; but be the law as it may, it is a
wonder that Tammany did not think OF
this way of doing in the last election.
Tammany has good many members in
the penitentiary who might have mailed
their ballots.
