CHARGED TO VACCINATION.


The current number OF Medical
Liberty News tells Of case OF death in
Brooklyn, following vaccination. 1t Is
one OF many, and proves that the
operation cannot be submitted to with
out taking serious risks. 1t shows why
so much popular opposition has been
raised TO compulsory vaccination in
Great Britain, Germany, Switzerland
and other countries. People are neces-
sarily more Influenced by what they
see and hear, than by the dicta Of
theorists.
The case referred to was that OF Ella
Lannlng. two years old. daughter Of
Isaac and Ella tanning, No. IL, syca-
more street, Brooklyn. She was vac
cinated on August Is, last, by physi-
clan Of the board OF health. who gave
"a certificate to that fact. The account
goes on 70 say that the child up 10 that
time had been healthy. but shortly at-
forwards she went into commissions.
The family physician. DR.. Benjamin NJ.
Briggs. was called in. Every now and
then the little sufferer had a spasm.
Her jaw was set every muscle In her
little body was taut as a bowstring.
The doctor did what he could 10 relieve
the patient, but the child died the day
II was taken sick. In the evening. Dr..
Anthony Binger. OF the coroner's Of
fee. gave a certificate that the death
was due TO ''tetanus following vaccina-
ton"
The same number OF the medical
journal from which these facts are
taken publishes the following item
dated Chicago, Oct 2s'
.larguerise Fahnestock the eight
year-old school girl, who had been SUI
fering from lockjaw died this morning
at her home. No. $50, WilmOt street, q
victim Of compulsory vaccination. She
was vaccinated by DR.. N. $. Abel. n
physician employed by the board OF
education. She had been vaccinated by
the family physician. but was again
yaccinated at the school"
Rumors OF sickness and death due to
vaccination are numerous. wherever the
operation is enforced OF course, II Is
said that such rumors are all due to
prejudice. or malice, but II Ia difficult
60 entirely oblIterate the popular i'm
preston that where there Is much
smoke there must be some fire, and tbs
consequence - a general outcry against
compulsory treatment for disease, that
possibly may come some time in the
future. AS rule people are content
to put on taking medicine until they
actually need the remedy.

PACIFIC CABLE.

There are two projects for Pacific ca
bles. one by way 81 Alaska, the Mautian
islands and japan. 10 Manila. The 9TH
er Is over Honolulu and Guam to the
Philippine capital The latter route Is
considerably longer than the former
and more expensive TO build and main
tain. Its promoters ask for a subsidy
of 100000 annually. while the promo
ters OF the former route ask for no
government aid
Secretary Long and Rear Admiral
Bradford have submitted TO the Senate
committe on naval affairs some figures
which prove the urgency Of the enter
prise. This country should certainly
have direct cable connection with Asia,
The navy department has spent $4,000
for cable messages, and the average
expense Of the war department Is
shown to be about $1,000 day.
With this heavy government patron
age. II would seem self-evident that
the cable should be owned uncontrolled
by the government and not by any
private company.
The question Of which route TO be
selected will undoubtedly be decided
with due regard TO the commercial
interests OF the country II the longer
and more expensive IS selected, this VIII
be because It is the best and therefore
cheapest.

A FAIR EXPLANATION.

A communication appeared In the
Deseret News on Thursday evening
signed Fair Play" which was inserted
without proper supervision 1t con-
tanned strong reflections upon lady
who is defendant In a suit for divorce,
and some unfayorable remarks con-
corning her attorney. While II Is true
that all the structures against the lady
are contained In the complaint filed in
the oase,we do not think II was proper
to present them IN the manner In which
they appeared, The alleged failings
Of the defendant ought not to be
paraded IN public prints. and the feel
ings Of her relatives were, no doubt,
righteously aroused against the author
OF the charges. particularly as they
claim she was. in SOME things at least,
very wronsfully accused. The COM
munication was melted by an account
published in the Tribune with treble
headlines, IN which Mr.. Lindsay r.
Rogers was represented as making a
vlrulent attack upon the plaintiff In
the case. II Is claimed that the state
ments in the Tribune article were in
correct, and that words were put into
Mr.. Rogers mouth which he did not
use when speaking to the plaintiff. As
to that we have nothing 20 say, except
that we regard on general principles the
personal attacks by attorneys upon
parties litigant and witnesses, which
are very common, as altogether unjusti-
fable In a court room. However II Is
possible that Mr.. Rogers felt justified
by his views OF the case, In speaking
very warmly as 10 the course pursued
by the plalntiff In making such serious
charges against his wife, The Deseret
News does not wish 10 do any person an
injustice, nor does Il desire to open It's
columns TO the exposure OF human
weaknesses, particularly Of the gentler
scx, for whom sympathy is often more
called for than reproach. The proceed
ings In divorce cases sometimes dis
close accusations that had better be
Kept within court records. and In this
instance We think ought net to have
been paraded In public journal. We
regret that anything Of the kind re-
ceived prominent place in the Deseret
News with the merits OF the contro-
versy we have nothing to do, as they
are q matter for courts to decide. Our
correspondents will please refrain from
personalities and the News VIII en-
deavor to exercise keener oversight
However we may add, Dr. Parkinson
In this matter assumes all responsibility
for the contents OF the communication,

And further, that the system which ex-
cites the multitude and Is rejected by
the great majority OF the people Of this
Union, Will not BE- rcvltallzed In any
way Nor would Il have been, in the
smallest degree, II y. II. Roberts had
been permitted to exercise the duties OF
his office according to the Constitution
Of our country. The relics Of that sys-
tenn are fast disappearing, and before
very long win cease TO be a bone of
contention.
Now that this cruel war is over, that
Il so far as 1t relates 20 the Utah Rep
resentatlye. Il Is desirable that the heat
attending the conflict shall be permitted
to subslde, and that the people Of Utah
OF all parties, classes and conditions
shall seek to promote the best Interests
OF the State. and to come into as close
harmony with this great nation Of
which 1t forms a par; as is possible IN
der the circumstances. The destiny OF
this people is intimately associated
with that Of the Republic, and we
should all aim to promote the welfare
Of our country and to maintain and per-
petuate It's free and glorious institu-
tons There should be no resentment
in our hearts. even towards those who
we believe have wronged us. The great
est good to the greatest number should
be. as It has been. our motto and the end
70 be Kept always IN view.

IN KENTUCKY.

The situation In Kentucky certainly
seems peculiar, from distance at least
Armed men are gathering round the
state capitol evidently for the purpose
Of illuminating the legislators. Their
petition 90 the house sounds well. In
il they beseech the members not 10
forget that their powers were loaned
them by the citizens at the polls and
that among these powers was the Juris-
dIction to decide judicially and by due
process Of law what was the expressed
will OF the people. and not the political
preferences OF the members.
Public officers in other states than
Kentucky need 10 ba reminded Of the
fact that their authority belongs to the
people. II Is 80 easily forgotten both
by the voters and their chosen servants

Why do they select men for public
places whom they must threaten 10

is our American civilization?
Not long ago. In Frankfort, Ky, a
prominent Kentuokan went up 70
public table and shot and killed another
Ksntucklan in the midst Of group OF
people. The State seems 10 b. full OF
citizens. with various degrees Of social
standing, carrying weapons In their
pockets and murder IN their hearts. The
ministers of Frankfort have taken
alarm and asked their people to hold
special prayer meetings on account OF
the decentralization OF the state. They
are praying that parties may be en-
dowed with wisdom and moderation
and that the colson-soot, tragedy may
not be repeated. Good enough But
the status OF public morality In Ken
lucky as IN some other places, Is such
that prayer alone Is Ineffective. II

Unquestionably the policy Of neutral

the world and for civilization. The

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Springfield Republican.

The action Of both the House and
Senate committees on lnteroceanic
canals in reporting fevcrebly at this
time bills for the construction OF a
waterway through Nicaragua Is an old
proceeding The two houses at the
last session provided for another in
vestigation OF all the possible canal
routes by a special commission and APP
propriated 100000 to pay the COM
missions expenses. That commission,
whose chairman Is Admiral Walker,
has only recently started for Panama
to inspect a canal that is already half
dug. How can any legislation properly
be enacted on the canal question until
the Walker commission shah have re-
ported? Yet the Nicaraguan partisans,
who control the House and Senate COM
mittees, propose. evidently. just such
procedure There is practically no OPP
position in the United States 10 a
canal. The only questions remaining
are the where. the how and the how
much But they are exceedingly i'm
portant In view OF the enormous expen-
diture involved.

sidered at the east. Some have even
gone SO far as 10 speak OF the canal as
a means OF actually diverung trade
from this port. The fundamental error
which is the root Of this later delusion
arises from the general use OF the

routes Of commerce. This map repre-
sents the earth as II IL were a cylinder
instead Of a sphere, and Is correct only
In its representations Of latitude, the
distances east and west except near

The truth. As a matter Of fact San
Francisco is but 200 or 800 miles OF
