Theodore Roosevelt seems to be
a new record for himself. lie
persistently refuses to talk politics
when approached by newspaper inter
viewers. This is a policy OF practical
prudence, which shows that the Vice
President appreciates the fact that ST
lence is often the part of wisdom. Some
or Roosevelt's admirers, particularly
among the young Republicans of the
West, have begun to start sporadic
blooms" for him as a presidential can.
didate in 1904. and numerous Roose-
welt clubs are reported to have been or
ganized in various States on the Other
side OF the Mississippi Assuming that
he cherishes ambitions in this direc-
ton, he shows good sense by refusing t
talk on political questions at the pres
ent time. The next national cam
paign is a long way ahead, and 4
would be decidedly premature for an!
aspirant to attempt to predict its issue
or to strike a keynote" to serve as

tnclcanliness md the Care
Icssness Of the People.

Washington. Oct. 2s.--United States
Consul Victor f. Nelson, at Bergen
Norway. has sent a report to the ma
rinc hospital service in which he says
that the prevalence of leprosy in Den.
mark must be imputed to the unclean-
illness and the grotesque carelessness
OF the people on that island. He says
there are six leprosy patients there,
or whom four are in Copenhagen. In
Denmark leprosy does not belong to
those few diseases which are subject
ed to public treatment. Iceland has
its own leprosy law. At the Laugar-
noes hospital in Iceland established
by the Odd Fellow order, there were
81 patients received during 1899, and
OF these IS are now dead and only
two have been discharged as fully re-
covered. Relapses were usual in lep-
rosy cases. The death rate has been
fearfully high, which is somewhat off
set by the fact that that was the
first year OF the hospitals work, and
the worst of 1coland's population first
were admitted. The report saws that
Dr. Armareuer Hansen. of Bergen, has
found the leprosy bacillus. but it's
antagonist is not yet discovered. The
icelanders are declared to be incon-
siderately imprudent. the sick people
using the same beds. eating and drink.
