NO POLITICS IN It
Mr.. ATKINSON SAYS

Acting Governor Atkinson stated en-
phatically yesterday that there was no
politics in the stand he had taken for
citizen labor upon Government works.
1T is because 1 believe that it is
nothing but right that the citizens, who
pay taxes and otherwise uphold our
form of government, should have the
benefit of whatever work is going which
has TO be paid for out of the public
treasury.
There are plenty of citizens right In
Honolulu who would go over to Hama
kua for work on new roads II offered
III wages, II citizen labor cannot be
obtained on contracts let on that basis,
then the Government should have the
full benefit of the difference between
properly paid citizen labor and cheap
Asiatlc labor"

ment thinks that the morals of the
people of Topeka are deteriorating.
They can not be trusted to obey quar-
antine laws, and must be guarded"
so the health department selects some
friend of the city physician, or other
city politician, and details him to guard
the case. The guards get $3.50 a day.
and when case is guarded. day and
night, that means SO a day for each
case. This is rather an expensive lux
ury. The city seemed to get along
very well without it. There has not
been any very noticeable improvement
in the health of the city since the
plan has been in effect.
Apparently the health department
does not wait for any evidence that
any particular case is likely to prove
obstreperous, and that the members
of the quarantined family will try to
get away, but acts on suspicion, and
hands out guard whenever the peo-
pie are considered Enthusiastically. The
city ordinances give the health depart
ment authority to employ additional
helpsin cases of emergency, but it is
very doubtful whether it was conteTn-
plated that special guards should be
hired by the wholesale on the slight
est provOcation.
The laws provide severe penalties
for violation of quarantine regulations,
and it would be good plan to enforce
this law. instead of putting UP $3.50 a
month to hire guards who have
nothing to do.
The following lists, compiled. from
the city records gives the amount
spent for guards for each of the past
"A months. together with the number
of contagious cases reported in each
month. AS measles is not regarded,
even by the present health department,
as sufficiently serious to warrant the
stationing of guards. the measles cases
which occurred in such Drofusion dur
ing May, 1908. and also during the
first part of 1904 have ben subtracted
from the totals.

IT COMES HIGH.
Health Department Is Costing
Large Sum.
Employment of Guards Largest
Item Of Expense.
PLAN is A NEW ONE.
Formerly Guards Were Employ
ed Only for Smallpox.
Interesting Figures for the City
Statisticians. -.--..-.

Every time the health department of
Topeka gets a new head, a new fad is
discovered which must be INDUCED in
at the city's expense, or at the expense
OF the taxpayers.
The fad of the present manage
ment of the health department which is
costing the city the most money is that
of employing guard for almost ev-
cry case of contag ious disease which is
discovered. OF course some people
might be so unkind as to say that ii is
merely a scheme to make political cap
itaI by handing out jobs to patriotic
citizens. but perhaps II is only tad.
Medicine is full of fads.
For the first eight months of 1904 the
city of Topeka has expended $1.S99.51 in
the one item of extra help for the
health department From four to
dozen guards have been on the pay
roll all the time.
During the 16 months prior to Janu-
airy. 1904. only $3.50 was expended for
In other words. the health depart
rnent fad is costing the city about
S24O month. while for the 16 months
prior to this year, the cost was only
about S4S a month.
If the city wants to practice some
economy, the health department bills
for guards" is a good place to start in.
The health department can not at
tribute the immense increase in expense
to an increase in the amount of contaS
fous diseases in the city. Exclusive of
the measles epidemic of 1904 and the
measles epidemic of 1903, there were PIP
cases of contagious disease during the
first eight months of the present year.
and 554 cases during the preceding Is
months.
Nor is the increase due to the prev
alence of smallpox. Most of the small
pox cases have been cared for at the
pest house. but there have been alto
gether for the first eight months of the
year only p cases in the city.
The increase in expense is due sole
" to a new policy which has been
adopted The health department has
come to the conclusion that almost
every case of serious contagion, such
as scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc,
should be not only quarantined and
'carded' but should be guarded as
well. 1t has heretofore been considered
unnecessary to guard any cases except
smallpox There seldom has been any
serious complaint about violation of
the quarantine regulations, even when
the cases were not guarded.
But apparently the health depart

POLICE JOTTINGS.

c. M. Hines, who was tried in police
court Wednesday for selling liquor illeg
ally at Burghart's drug store, 106 East
Sixth avenue, was discharged by Judge
Hamilton on account of insufficient evil
dence. Seven witnesses were sworn,
but only three of them, B. I. Bevelle,
Dan Wyatt and Robert Semple gave
evidence of any value. They all testified
to sales, but were not sure of the date,
and as the guilt of Hines rested on that
point, he escaped conviction. Hines
permit to sell liquor was dated May 2S,
and the witnesses could not remember
whether it was before or after that
time that they made the purchases.
They thought it was on May %, the day
the permit took effect.
George Robinson, who was arrested
on charge of drunkenness last night,
is alleged to have attempted suicide
shortly before his arrest. His brother
appeared at the police station last night
and said that Robinson had taken a
dose of laudanum at his home, ZIG East
Fourth street, and had attempted to
take a second dose. but had been pre-
vented by relatives. He left the house
with the avowed intention of taking
more poison. A physician was called
to the JAIL but upon examining Robin
son he was pronounced all right, and
suffering from nothing worse than an
overdose of whisky.
Jeff Davis. the colored politician, was

out water and scent it further than
any other known animal except the
camel. AS an example of the keen
scent of the burro for water, Arthur

to cross the Great Mohave desert on
foot, with burro to carry their sup
plies
In passing from oasis to oasis they
lost their way, and the supply of
water became exhausted. To be- lost
in the desert is a terrible thing, and
anxiety, coupled with torturing thirst
and the intense heat, drove Peterson
insane. He left his companion and
fled, shrieking. across the plain. KEEL
ley picketed the burro and went after
Peterson to bring him back, but was
unable to overtake him.

The Origin Of Hoodlum

'Hoodlum,' which has found place
in the vernacular. is we'll understood
to apply to a class of young toughs
who has no respect for sex, age or the
sense of what is becoming. Few
know the derivation of the word.
1t was in 1872, when the Odd Eel
lows held picnic at Redwood City.
A gang OF toughs attended.
Among the gang from San Francis
co. was one whose name was Hood
1-ummix, who was a peculiarly form.
ed creature. Clumsy, big-footed, with
a large mouth and protruding teeth,
thick lips, big, bushy head of hair of
a dirty brick color, standing out like
quilts on porcupine, this almost NAL
formed specimen attracted the atten-
ton of young rowdies who picked
upon him for days sport.
Go where he might he was followed
by a gang who hooted and made
things unpleasant for him during the
day.
