ttORDING TO the HARRISBURG
~ correspondent of the PhIa-
~ dclphia Ledger. there are
only two points of difference
between the Quay Republicans in the
legislature and those who desire an
Improvement in the ballot laws. The
latter want to abandon the circle. th"
former want to retain ii. This is the
first. Colonel GuTcy's bill provides for
no circle, Senator ITocht's does The
other point of difference is the assist
ance provision. Colonel Guifcys bill
provides that no voter shall receive as
sstance in the preparation of his bal
lot, unless he makes affidavit that he
is unable to read English. or is pre-
vented from marking his ballot by
blindness or other physical disability.
senator Toch,'s bill allows any voter
to bring another into the booth to
mark his ballot without alleging any
necessity.
The last sentence in the foregoing
quotation is hardly a fair statement of
the F'och, bill. That bill provides that
If any voter declares to the judge Of
election that by reason of any diSabil-
ity he desires assistance in the prep
aralion of his ballot. he shall be per
mittcd by the judge of election to So
lcct any clcctor of his voting precinct
or district 10 aid him in the Nrepara-
tinn of his ballot in the voting COM
partmenl." Disability must be de-
rlared. Tha, constitutes alleging Il
ncceSSity.
But in this matter of assistance at
the polls the C;uf1ey bill is clearly pref
cradle. The latitude allowed in the
'ocht hill is too wide. Disabled voters
merit help: but the very fac, that they
have to have ii iuStiiics safeguards
against fraud. When any voter by
merely saying he is disabled can take
any helper he plcases into the booth
with him. there will BE- an end of Sc
rrccy ana of honesty in our elections,
and the marketing of votes will flourish
beyond precedent. Preserve the party
circle but put clamps on the too active
helper"

To be forewarned should be to be
forearmed.
Small pox is pre-eminently pre-
eminently preyentable disease. 1t
is preventable because we po ssess the
means by which we may reasonably
expect to keep it from our homes,
and from our community. 1t never
visits either, except as those means
known to be able to prevent it have
been neglected.
We urge upon the citizens of Wis
consin. upon the constituted authori-
ties of every township, village or city,
within its borders, and especially upon
physicians, to institute such measures
as will serve to stay the progress OF
the disease.
The measures to be instituted are
vaccination and revaccination
The undersigned have unqualified
confidence in the protective power of
thorough vaccination. believing that it
can render to all persons, perfect pro.
lection against any form of variolous
disease-but to secure this protection
three conditions must be carefully OBJ
served.
1st. The virus used must be pure
and vigorous.
End. The operation must be skill

3rd. Revaccination must be fire.
quently practiced to test the return
ing susceptibility of the system to the
small pox contagion.
BY strict and universal observ-
ance OF these rules we believe that
small pox might be stamped out of ex-
istence. To neglect such rules is to
endanger not only the lie of him who
neglects them but also the life Of
those with whom he associates. We
believe there is no valid excuse for
such neglect.
With regard to revaccination the
facts are that a certain number of
persons are protected for life by one
vaccination, while the protection of
others extends TO but a limited and
variable period. Hence as we are
without the power to distinguish be-
tween these classes, revaccination is
essential as a primary operation and

SMALL Pox.

Ths appearance of small pox in
many places of our state and the con-
tinued spread Of the disease where it
has found foothold, calls for word
of warning and advice from those who
have been the guardians of the public
health.
The average yearly death rate in
Wisconsin is somewhat ever one hun
dred, while the average number of
cases annually exceeds four hundred
Already within the last three months.
these numbers have been exceeded
and unless vigorous measures are
adopted it will exact much larger
tribute of human life.
The experience of Wisconsin in this
respect is not exceptional. This
loathesome and very fatal disease is
visiting other localities to such an ex-
tent that those who have watched its
progress greatly fear widespread
epidemic of 1t during the coming

GRANT COUNTY IN THE ASSEMBLY.

Grant County has this year one
member less in the Legislature than it
should have, but it has put up dele
CATION of men whose talents remind
us of the times when it was repre-
sented by j. Allen Barber. j. I. Mills,
Jao. G.. Clark, j, II. Rountree, Han
mer Robbins, Allen Taylor. j. w. Sea-
ton and some others that we might
name. The mem Der from the eastern
district, VIM. f. Carter. is a lawyer
who stands among the foremost OK
the state He has been talked of for
Speaker; he ought TO be made chair
man of the Judiciary Committee.
His opinion upon all legal questions
will be as good as the best. From the
western district we have Joseph Book.
Mr.. Book was member last year and
showed himself well posted in affairs
of the state and county. He is very
unpretending but makes first class
legislator. Few men are better post
ed in financial and IN all matters per-
tanning TO real estate. He is a man
of very extensive general information
The member from the northern dis
trict, ID. K. Sylvester. is the same
class of man. He is great reader,
and superior though quiet Judge
OF human nature and of the wants of
communities His milling interests
identify him with both the capital and
labor of the people of Grant County.
With such delegation in our state
Legislature, Grant County will be re-
spected.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

fFrom our regular Correspondent
President Roosevelt has. convinced
Senator Cullom that he likes joke,
even when it is on himself. thereby
differing from most men. who only
ENJOY it when it is on the other fellow.
Recently Senator Cullom stated in a
newspaper interview that he objected
to Mr.. Roosevelt's habit of discussing
the personal affairs Of his callers in a
voice loud enough to be heard by
every body in his office. Evidently
Mr.. Roosevelt had read that interview
for when Senator Cullom entered his
Office yesterday he took him by the
arm and led him of into corner all
by himself and began to whisper to
him, and in two seconds every body in
the room, including the president and
Senator Cullom. we're enjoying q
hearty laugh But all the same. the
other callers didn't hear a word of
the conversation about Senator Gull
lOm's business.

Although recent and coming events
show that Senators are not out of the
marriage class, Senator Black burn has
just taken a wife. and Senator Depew
is going to Europe to get one-they
do not as rule figure as street heroes
but one of them did this week. 1t
was Senator McLaurin of Mississippi,
and his act of heroism was the rescue
of deaf girl, who would, if the Sena-
tor had not displayed presence of mind
and agility, have been killed or in
jured by an electric car on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. She was standing on
one track waiting for car that was
approaching on the other and did not
hear the car that was coming toward
her on the track in the middle of
which she was standing. Senator
McLaurin did, and like Bill BIadsoe,
"he done his duty" and grabbed the
girl just in time to get her and himself
out of the way. He isn't sorry he
rescued the girl. but he is sorry that
he was recognized in the act, as he
doesn't like the notoriety it has given
him.

should be performed at least every
five years. 1t should also be per-
formed at every season of an epidemic
diffusion of the disease.
Should small pox unfortunately APP
pear in any community we earnestly
recommend the adoption of the fol-
lowing rules:
Thoroughly isolate every case that
may occur, and keep it so isolated I'M
til all danger that the disease can be
communicated is past. If the patient
be kept in private house, it is better
that the uppermost rooms of the
house be used for the purpose-every
person in the vicinity should be at
once vaccinated without regard to
any previous operation.
At the close of the disease, articles
which can be so treated should be
disinfected by being subjected to the
action of boiling water or be baked in
an oven at temperature of not less
than 212 degrees. Heat effectually
destroys the poison germ. Such ar
ticles as cannot be treated should re-
main in the room and be subjected to
sulphurous fumigation which is effect
ed by placing ABOUT 8 pounds of sui
phur in safe and convenient vessel
in the room with the doors, widows
anil chimney hues closed and ignite
it. The room should remain closed
ten or twelve hours.
Ventilation and painting the wood
work. white. washing, re-papering
the walls will complete the process
and fit the rooms for rehabilitation.
