tionate immunity to other diseases Of
this class-dyspepsia. collie. constipa-
ton, gastritis, etc.
Without going further into specific
diseases It seems, generally speaking.
that Filipino troops exceed greatly both
white and black in infectious diseases.
excepting dysentery and typhoid fever,
and that including these last they are
much less subject to diseases affecting
the digestive organs.
In diseases of the nervous system
Excluding beri-beri as an infectious
disease) the difference is even greater,
the prevalence among Malay soldiers
being only about one-fourth of the
white rate

ratory systems, the genito-urinary sys-
TEN, the Emphatic system, diseases of
the muscles, bones, and joints, the eye,
ear: nose. and throat. also the I'M
classified diseases. vary in different de-
grees for the different races, but in all
the Filipino scouts show the smallest
rate. while in skin diseases they lead
the others.
Record of Occupations.
During 1902 there was mean strength
in the Philippine Islands of 10000 white
| soldiers. 2,642 colored, and 1926 native
scouts.
Ever since the American occupation oi
the Philippines. the health of the forces
there serving has been mainly affected
first by malarlal feyeIs and results, Sec
nnd by dysentery and diarrheal diseases
and fhirl by dergue and other febrllc
conditions of undetermined character
In 1902 cholera appeared and made a
/ heavy impression Cal the rates OF sick
ness and daa.l:
| The Phi Lpinc scouts serving In Their
own country largely exceed the white
and colored American troops IN admis-
sion rate and mortality from malarial
fevers, in fact, to more than double the
colored rates. They had nearly as large
a percentage of dengue and over twice
as much fever of undetermined origin.
The comparative immunity to dysen-
| terry and diarrhea is much more strik-
ingly shown than when compared to the
whole army. The white troops had
nearly six times as much dysenterv and
six times as many deaths from this cause
per thousand, while the colored ratios
were about three times as large. -Four
times as much diarrhea prevailed
among the whites and thrice as much
among the negroes
The native Of the Philippines eats
and drink with comparative immunity
articles Of food and foul water, the use
OF which by white men is disastrous
out ne has no such immunity to cholera
In the present epidemic the admission
and death rates in 1902 for native troops
greatly exceeded those of the white sol
olers' although the American negroes
were the greatest sufferers of all.
The Washington times., 1903-10-07
Variety of Theories.

Many physicians believe that lack of
a variety Of vegetable foods, rather than
an excess of rice, psves the way for
beri-beri. The disease seems to be more
general in rainy weather and in places
where malaria thrIves- This has given
rise to the theory that a germ similar
to the malarial germ is the cause OF the
disease.
Beri-beri is common in India and Bur-
ma and the whole of the Malay PENN
sula 1t has frequently existed among
soldiers in Java as an epidemic.
Patients afflicted with the malady al
most invariably show Improvement as
soon as they are sent to hospital on high
ground and placed on a diet OF nitro
genous foods.

muscles flabby and weak and walking
difficult 1t is frequently accompanied
by violent vomiting and running at the
nose. The partial paralysis Of the legs

body.
Physicians are unable to agree as to
the cause Of the disease. Most officers
attribute the disease to a defective die
tary, In which there is an excess of rice.
Too much carbohydrates and not enough
proteids are supposed to be responsible
for the malady.

PANIED CONTEMPORARY.

The Triton Gazette sis surprised
and panied to see papers like The At
lauta News and The Dawson News en-
deayorlng to uphold the Tillman Ver-
dict" The Atlanta News and The
Dawson News are not the only papers
in Georgia by great deal that did not
ioin in the lurid denunciation OF the
Tillman jury. 1t is an easy matter to
condemn those who do not cater to
popular prejudice, but there are a
number OF prominent AID conservative
Journals in the estate that maintained
their equilibrium and did not believe
everybody and everything had gone to
the demnition bow-wows because a
man who had been mercilessly hound
ed and finally turned upon his pursuer
was not hanged.
Maybe Editor Herring would have
submitted in a lamb-like way 10
the continued and brutal abuse of the
Columbia editor, but before this paper
belieYes he would it must have more
evidence than his criticism of the YER
dict that saved FROM the hangman's
moose the man who, in great despera-
ton, did resent 1T in way that he
perhaps should not have done. The
fellow who runs an abusive paper, as
did Brann. Stein and Gonzales, must
expect to run up against bullets.
Besides, without any desire to add
10 the pain or discontinue of our es-
teemed contemporary we cannot re-
train from saying that the facts and
the testimony brought out in the trial
of the case made strong showing for
the defense.

THE FIGHT Is ON.

Employers are organizing against la
bor all over the country, and labor il
organizing against capital. 1t Is no
longer a secret that the fl ht is on be-
tween the two, and IL Is time for
thoughtful, conservative men TO stop
and take calm survey OF the battle'
field. 1t is time to study the relative
conditions of the two forces, and first
to see if the fight canuot he averted:
second, to see, if this be impossible,
with which side rests the greatest re-
sponsibility; and. third, which is to
lose most by the conflict.
One day last week more than three
hundred employers met in Chicago
and organized against labor unions.
This meeting was called at the in
stance of Mr.. Parry, who is leading
the movement against what he calls
the labor trust. He is an earnest man,
q large employer of labor, and has be-
cone not only distrustful of organized
labor, but to really hate It's name. 1t
has never occurred to Mr.. Parry that
he believes in organized capital, that
he is himself at the head of one of the
biggest organizations in the country,
if not in the world, and that the pur
pose of his organization Is the same as
that of organized labor-self-protec-
ton and to get the most for the least
possible effort.
But that is not the question now. Ii
cannot change the relative position
of the TWO trusts, the labor trust anC
the capital trust. The plain fact con
fronts the people that an aggressive
war is on between capital and labor
and how to avert it, or how to mini
ize it, is the most pertinent and import
ant question just now. The business
men who fail 10 observe it fail of thei
duty.

A GROWING EVIL.

Inthe local columns of The News is an
article which shows the great demand
there is among the negroes for Weap-
ous. mostly revolvers, and the fact al
fords a lesson which should be Needed
Few things are more dangerous than
the average negro, and some whites
for that matter, loaded to the br1m
with mean whiskey and pistol con-
cealed in the pocket.
There are at present two or three
measures pending before the Georgia
legislature looking to the suppression,
AS far as possible, to that enemy of socie-
ty who persists in making walking
arsenal of himself, and in the light OF
developments it seems that some law
more stringent than the present one
should be enacted. Perhaps the emer-
gency would best be met by making
the crime felony instead of misde-
meanOr.
Anyway, the pistol-toter should be
made to realize that there is no room
for him in an enlightened and well-or-
dered community.

year is $40, 900, 900; that of poultry and
eggs is $3.50, 100000 Not only this
but the value of poultry ana eggs pro
duced in the United States in 1907 ex-

country, were suddenly stopped?
