THE PANAMA SANITARY
PROBLEM.

The report that the members of
the Panama canal commission have
already sailed for Colon to inspect
the route of the canal preparatory to
the delivery of the property to I'm
Gle Sam, will be received by all
friends of the great enterprise with a
sense of satisfaction mixed with en-
thuslasm, for they are reminded that
the work of actual construction is
now but a question of a short while.
The present mission of the commits
sion, while primarily nj of inspec-
ton, has largely to do with the vi
tally important question of sanitation
within the canal zone. The United
States will not commit the criminal
folly of hurrying the excavation of
the Titanic ditch before every means
known to modern science for the
stamping out of pestilential germs
and conditions has been resorted to
by the sanitary department of the
0htSIp 11OOs VIII 10 oUOSI OIO LII
mediate direction of the surgeon gen
eral of the United States army.
It is gratifying to know that Colo
mel William Gorgas, Of the surgeon
generals department, who accom-
panied the commission to the 18TH
mus, will be the active force in the
great task of making the route Of the
canal sanitary. 1t was Colonel Cor
gas who performed the remarkable
sanitary feat of practically stamping
Yellow fever out OF Cuba during the
American occupation of the island.
DIR. John w. Ross, medical director
of the United States navy, who also
accompanied the commission, is
quoted as having expressed theopin-
ion that under proper sanitary ar
engagements the canal zone can be
made as salubrious as Cuba. This is
indeed encouraging, for since the
American army institute | a vigorous
house-cleaning down there, the pub
lie health statistics show that the
sickness and mortality is quite nor
NAL, with no epidemic disease to
speak of. Havana eelns to be per-
manently free of yellow fever.
This is what is necessary, and Col.
GOrgas is the man for tine wor6. We
expect to see a Wig rous, scientific
campaign for the cleansing and
proper sanitation of the canal zone
begun at once under his experienced
direction, with confidence that his
efforts will make life and health
comparatively safeln the labor camps
across the isthmus after the active
operations on the canal begin.

MECHANICS CLUB
HOLDS ANNUAL BANQUET
Is an Organization to Encourage Inven-
tive Talent.

The Mechanics club held its annual
banquet and dance at Odd Fellows hall,
Fifth and Wabasha streets, last night.
The organization. which is composed of
members of the working force of the
American Hoist and Derrick company,
West side institution, is sociological en-
terprise and Is perhaps the only one of
its kind in the Northwest.
The club, which was organized about
two years ago, is fostered by the COM
pany to the extent that each month
premium fund is provided from which the
men are rewarded for any invention or
labor-saving device any of them may have
perfected. To encourage this inventive
spirit is one of the chief objects of the
club. Several valuable inventions have
been secured by the company as re-
suit, not to speak of the cheapening of
the cost of manufacture for which the
men are also compensated.
The club pays sick benefits and has
life insurance feature. 1t holds social ses-
sions once month, at which subjects cal
culated to benefit and interest the men are
debated. Only men who have been in the
employ Of the company for two years or
longer are ppermitted to belong to the
club. F. G.. Lilygreen is president and
George Fowler secretary and treasurer
AT the banquet last night an address
was delivered by Oliver Crosby, president
of the American Hoist and Derrick COM
pany A programme OF vocal and instru-
mental selections was also provided.

Minnesota Citizens Form State
League for Dissemination of
This knowledge.

The Minnesota Health league was or
ganized with twenty charter members at
Central hall last night.
The object of the league is to collect
and disseminate a knowledge of the laws
of health and to promote its practical
application. A course of study will be
followed by the members, divided into
groups. One group will study mental
hygiene, another pure air and ventilation,
dietetics. exercise and personal liberty.
Mental hygiene will embrace cure for
worry, while under the head of personal
liberty an attack will be made upon all
statutory laws infringing upon personal
rights, chief among which, it Is claimed,
Is the vaccination law.
Auxiliary leagues will be formed all over
the state. On Feb. 8 meeting will be
held at which a local league will be or
ganized. 1t is expected that all members
of the state league will also join the local
league.
The constitution provides that three
persons or more can organize local
league. A person living in small town,
where no local organization exists, can
making application.
Officers Elected.
J. W. Griggs of Griggs, Cooper & Co.,
was elected president of the league; R. G.
Mitchell, proprietor of the Duluth "Tri--
bunal," first vice president; o. Solem, Of
Window. second vice president. and Mrs.
Della Whitney Norton, of Minneapolis,
third vice president; Mrs. Lora c. Little,
of Minneapolis, was elected secretary and
D. B. Holcombe, of Minneapolis, treas
urer.
The officers, together with the following,
constitute the executive committee: G..
j. Buell., Dr. G.. w. Young and DR.. F. M.
FriederichS all of st. Paul.
Members of the league expressed them
selves as against the medical profession
and in favor of health culture entirely.
Mrs. l.. c. Little read paper explaining
the object of the league in which she de-
nounced the "bugbears" Of modern medi-
cine
1.-The physicians have organized them
selves strongly and have succeeded in
having laws passed." she said, (which
compel us, whether or no, to sub
nit to an irreparable injury known as
vaccination. If we wish to contend
against this successfully we must organize
also, and that is the purpose of this
league. This should not be construed as
meaning that this is only an anti-va ccina-
tion society, for the league is for the pur-
pose of spreading knowledge of the laws
of health in general for the betterment
of our fellow citizens"

State Oil Inspector Fenton G. War
ner's annual report must prove shocK
to the Republican members of the leg
islature of 1901, who, in voting Tor
Rukard Hurd's bill to put the state OIL
inspectorship on a salary basis, thought
they were sacrificing pipe line that
poured a large portion of the thousands
of dollars in fees collected annually
into the party's campaign fund.
Representative Hurds measure,
passed at the thirty second session OF
the legislature, appeared to turn into
the state treasury the immense fees
which under the former law went to
the state inspector, but the amend
ment, instead of accomplishing its ap-
parent purpose, has merely made IL
possible for the administration to build
up a most powerful political machine.
Under the old law the fees went to
the state oil inspector and ne alone was
looked to for the annual contribution
by the campaign committee, but under
the Hurd amendment, which went into
effect Jan. 1, 1908, the fees are di-
vided among a large corps of deputies
scattered through almost every county
in the state. These deputies hold their
positions at the pleasure of the admin
istration, and in the method Of distrib-
uting the fees collected appears the
only change made by the Hurd amend
ment. In former years the campaign
committee secured it's contribution
from the chief inspector and distrib-
uted it about the state. Now the fund
is distributed as it is collected.
Machine Is Well Lubricated.
State Oil Inspector Warner is COM
PEELED by the Hurd amendment to file
a monthly statement with the state
auditor. review of the reports for
the twelve months ending Dec. 81
would show that the administration
machine is well creased at the present
time. During the year 1903 Mr.. War
ner and his deputies collected fees for
the inspection of oil to the amount of
$29,732.25. The salaries and expenses
of the chief inspector and his deputies
for the same time amounted to
$27,667.45. and the state of Minnesota,
enjoying its first year of oil inspec-
ton under the Hurd amendment, re-
ceives $2064.S0 as its share.
This remarkable increase in the ex-
pense Of the state inspection of oil sur
prises the politicians and citizens ia
miliar with the oil inspection methods,
who have looked upon the oil in
spectorship as one of the fattest gifts
at the disposal of the administration.
The state oil inspector was always
looked upon as being able to divide at
least $4,000 or $4,000 year with the
campaign committee under the old fee
system, and it will be generally ad-
mitted that the oil inspector overlook
ed but few opportunities to inspect oil
shipments when the law allowed him
the fees. A fair estimate of conditions
existing under the former law follows:
AS 1t Used to Be.
Estimated yearly receipts. $2S, 900
Disbursements.
Office expenses ............ $3.50
Total amount paid to thirty
nine fee and four salaried
deputies INSTRUMENTATION. Il, 900
Total amount of profits di-
vided by the chief in
spector and the cam
paign committee ......... 12750
Total Observation-Disclosures. $2S, 900
The fairness of these estimates is
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-01-30
Profit aecruing to the state.
Only Inspectors Needed.

In explanation of these figures, it is
pointed out that the Standard Oil COM
pany ships all it's oil to Minnesota
from it's refinery at Whiting, Ind. The
presence of a state inspector there
would make it possible to have all oil
intended for Minnesota inspected and
certified at the shipping point. This
inspector, though denied assistants,
would not be rushed with work and
would be well satisfied with the $1,000
salary. The inspectors at Duluth, La
Crosse and Fargo would be necessary,
as the oil stored at these points for
future shipment into the state would
be necessary.
An inspection of the monthly report
of the state inspector, filed with the
state auditor, shows that but little oil
can escape the deputies throughout the
state and in the Twin Cities. In st.
Paul M. ]. Wiley and c. E. Hillstrom
are detailed as deputies under the pro-
vision of the amendment, which allows
the oil inspector two deputies in Ram
sey and Hennepin counties. In Mime
eapolis B. F. Ward and w. T. Coe
qualify as deputies under the same
provision.
The monthly report also names A. 3.
Schlitz as stenographer of the depart
ment at salary of $75 per month. The
Hennepin and Ramsey county depu-
ties each receive $1e0 per month, the
maximum amount the law allows them
to draw.
Section 8 of the Hurd amendment
provides that the state Oil inspector
is empowered to appoint two deputies
for each of the counties of Ramsey and
Hennepin,' IF the prompt and faithful
performance of the duties imposed by
the provisions of this act shall require
Said number. and mt 0fhQruricQ
Former inspectors have conducted
the work in Ramsey and Hennepin
counties with but one deputy, and the
claim is made that one man can at
tend to all the work and still have
much leisure time on his hands Under
the Schiffmann regime, E. AFFORD was
employed as the st. Paul deputy. and,
without missing any Inspections, was a
frequent attendant at the ball games
during the summer months. At that
time w. T. Coe handled all the inspec-
tions in Hennepin county, and there is
no record of his having applied to the
chief oil inspector for assistance.
The discovery of the states failure to
receive more than the paltry $2,064 as
its share Of the fees for the inspection
OF OIL may result in an organized effort
being made to either put the inspection
system on real paying basis from the
states standpoint or to abolish 1t alto
gether.
The fact that the oil companies in
reality collect from the taxpayers of
the state the fees that must be paid
Tor their inspections, and the addition
al fact that In this way the citizens are
compelled to contribute to- the cam
paign expense fund, promises to arouse
the residents of the country districts
