In the Interest OF Public Health.

The committee on a State
p.0x, of Health, Texas State
% HTaiS Association, has issued o
n"nnII1IlA. which is, in substance,
"a pIea for preventive measures
against consumption and other
deadly communicable diseases,
and for q registration Of vital
statistics in Texas" 1t deals eX-
tensively with the cause Leading
to the propagation of such diseas-
es rs consumption, typhoid fever,
diptheria, pneumonia, and other
.deadIy diseases, concluding that
Hthey are communicable, and can
md should be prevented" and
adds that, "the time has come
when governors and legisla-
tnrs cnn no longer shut their
ewes to the fact that meas
nres of prevention must be IN
stituted to protect the people,
The pamphlet is intended TO
educate the people along these
lines and earnestly advocates
stringent measures by the state
in the suppression of the condi-
tions conducive to a spread of such
diseases, and favors the estab'
lishment Of y State Board Of
Health. 1t states that a Law
framed after those in existence IL
illinois, Michigan and Massachu
sets will be introduced III thu
next legislature, and calls upol
every one to use his influence
to secure its passage,
There is no question but Their
exists an opportunity for consid
cradle improvement along thi
line. The health of any peopl
or country is a most importan
consideration and one that Gu
not be too carefully looked into
If these diseases are communica
BILE, and no one doubts the cor
illusions of the medical professio
on the question, then the suppress
sion of the causes leading to n
increase in the number of viz
tins should be speedily effected
These conditions prevail to n cej
tain extent in all communitiel
and not enough care is exercise
in the protection of innocent pei
pie, who, in their desire to al
the afflicted, are often exposed
and frequently contract the'
maadIcs.
II il to be hoped that the az
tatiou thus begun will result
some measure that will provide
practical remedy for the existir
evil.

AS announced in The Press
special, which appeared on the
streets early last Wednesday
morning, Judge w, r, Smith, OF
Colorado City, was nominated on
the first ballot in the convention
held at Mineral Wells the previous
day. =,
The vote was 81 for Smith and
% for Jones of Jones county;
Mr.. Deans name did not go be-
fore the convention.
1t is unnecessary to say The
Press is very much gratified with
the result, which, however, had
been honestly forecasted by this
paper some time in advance of
the convention.
Judge Smith, the nominee, is a
manly gentleman, n self made,
honorable citizen, in whom his
nearest neighbors and friends
place the most implicit conf
dence, and The Press feels the
most perfect assurance that he
will represent the entire district
with ability and fidelity, and that
no one, be he supporter or not,
will ever have cause to regret the
choice made by the democracy,

TORPEDO BOAT MANEUVERS
Importnnt Work TO lie Done by These
Little Fighters During the
summer.

There will he some iHP work
with torpedo boats during the COM
ing summer. Those vessels will be
brought from the various rendezvous
and concentrated in northern waters,
probably in Long Island sound and
Narragansett bay, for strategic exer-
cises. 1t is proposed to detail junior
officers to duty on these vessels,
where the experience cannot but be
of great value, not only because it will
give them an acquaintance with the
mechanism of the boats but will
serve to test individual nerve, and
alertness.
There have never been maneuvers
with torpedo boats on the extensive
plan felt to be necessary by those
who have come to consider the tor
pedo boat as an important factor in
naval warfare. For long time this
deficiency in practical work was at
tributable to the lack of boats, but
this absence of facilities no longer
| exists. We have the boats, the Off
! -eers, -the-cre~s,1 'tn1-therc re
mains only the opportunity OF EN-
ploying them. 1t is to this end tina
the navy department is making som
elaborate arrangements for summe
work.
