It is an unpleasant piece of news to
the United States that there are 10000
cases of leprosy in the Philippine is
lands. The situation is much graver
than that which the Americans were
forced to face ia Cuba when yellow fe-
yer ragged about them, because of the
fact that medical science has failed to
discover either preventative or cure
of the loathsome affiiction.
The leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1895-1905, 1901-01-09

Let us speak plain: there's more force in names
Than most men dream of; and a lie may keep
Its throne whole age longer, if it skulk
Behind the shield of some fair-seemng name.
Let us call tyrants tyrantS, and maintain
That only freedom comes by grace of God,
And all that comes II by His grace must fall;
For men in earnest have no time to waste
In patching fig-leayes for the naked truth.

THE permits which have heretofore
