WHY NOT INVESTIGATE ?

a contemporary broadly suggests that
~, surrounding States establish quar-
antIne against the State Of Utah, unless
the public schools. by legislative enact
mcnt, are closed to some healthy chill
dren Possibly the suggestion Is made
merely for the purpose Of influencing
the legislators 10 vote contrary 70 the
sentiment OF an overwhelming majority
OF their constituents. But at all events
Il indicates sufficiently how utterly re-
gardless that paper is Of the business,
as well as all other, interests OF the
people to whom II nevertheless appeals
for patronage.
How would Il be. FOR the Legislature,
while at Il, to provide for the appoint
ment Of an impartial commission to in
Quiro into the true status Of the health
Of Utah? There Is an impression that
somebody has been juggling a good deal
with figures. and this impression has
not been effaced by the official, or semi
Official statement that within a given
time we have had 1900 cases Of one
particular disease while II Is admitted
that only 5000 were reported. Possibly
thorough and impartial investigation
would materially reduce the figures OF
both mild and fatal cases, as alleged,
II would certainly throw much needed
light on the situation Facts would be
brought out and rumors relegated to
their proper domain. our own health
boards. as well as those OF the sur
rounding States would be supplied with
reliable data TO guide them In their fu-
ture course, and not have to rely on ex-
parte statements Of people more or less
personally interested In the yndlcatlon
Of a theory We believe any reasonable
appropriation for such an investigation
would be- well spent money,
Such a commission should not be
composed Of doctors entirely. but the
lay people should also be represented in
e. It's investigations should be carried
out IN fun public view. Secret sessions
and consultations with one side only
would be Of no use. az Il would have no
weight with the public The inquiry
might comprise such questions az these:
How did the much discussed disease
enter Utah. and at what time? How
many cases have there been2 How
many were fatal. n any? How many
yaccinated and how many unvaccnat-
ed How many disastrous cases OF
vaccination. n any? What are the san.
ltury conditions In localities where the
disease has appeared? What sanitary
regulations have been observed and
with what effect? The true answers
To these and similar questions, as fur.
nished by well established facts. would
be OF value both to the people and the
medical profession.

THE MANILA CONTROVERSY.

A SUGGESTION TO FARMERS.

Winterville, N. c., Apr! 8, 1901.
Owing to the extreme scarcity OF
labor we would advise all farmers to
arrange their tobacco rows SO every
eighth row will be five feet wide, and
by go doing you can use tobacco
truck and thus house your tobacco
with much less labor and cost. There
were some trucks used in certain SEQ
tons last season for housing tobacco,
and we find in every section where the
truck was used there will be great de-
mand for them this season, and orders
for several hundred trucks have already
been placed and msny moro will
doubtless come in yet. 1t you Vill lay
out your rows az stated above it will
take no extra manure and but little
more land, and if you do not use the
truck you can tote your tobacco along
the wide row much better, and If you
are scarce of help you can use truck.
We are going to be headquarters fo1
tobacco trucks OF best style.
