tuberculosis in Minneapolis, 1000 in ST. Paul
and 500 in Duluth.
These facts are startling. They indicate
the necessity of the three cities and the state
caring for it's sufferers from this disease,
not only for their comfort, but that the health
of the community may be guarded from it's
spread.
According to DR.. Bracken, the disease is
liable to affect many others thru infection.
Many of the sufferers people in moderate or
poor circumstances and the exigencies of the
matter demand action on the part of the munich
patty and of the state.
If the state health board has not the auth
GRITTY to act, it should receive it quickly TT
also behooves the health departments of 2the
three cities to give this matter their unceasing
attention. City ordinances against expectorating
on the street or in public places should be more
rigidly enforced, and persons suffering from
the disease should be quarantined, or at Eleast
taught to reduce the danger of conta gion to
the lowest point.

LANE DEFENCE FOR PASSES.

Apologists are busy defending7 the action
of the late senate and house in defeating3,the
antipass bill, says the Minneapolis e. Journal
The chief clerk of the house says in his news
paper that the house members proved they
were not under railroad influence whenY they
passed the reciprocal demurrage bill and the
passenger rate reduction bill.
Grant that; then by the same argument the
senate, which killed both bills, was subject to
railroad influence. What that influence was,
is for the defenders of the pass systematic ex-
plain. It was evidently a strong one able to
defeat Legislation for what the general public
removed.
1t is no doubt true, some legislators
maintain that they not Influenced in their
votes by the fact that they carry passes. That
does not account for the entire membership of
the Legislature, and there are many men whose
friendly feeling can be won by such courtesy.
Coming down to the last analysis, such favors
are given because the companies want the
good will of the members, and they expect in
long to get value received. If men who
carry passes vote for legislation the railroads
do not want, then they not returning the
favor g ven, and the passes have failed in their
mission.
Why should the people take chances with
such business? Isn't it safer and more salts
factory to have representatives who are under
no sort of obligation to private interests? Of
course members are poorly paid and the passes
are considered by many part of their compen-
sation. Is it right for a railroad company to
furnish part of a members compensation?
Shouldn't the people he represents insist on
paying it all and having the sole claim upon
his services?
No question is ever settled until it is settled
right, and the pass question is far from settled.
1t may be attended to by the next legislature;
if not, then it will come later. But it will come

THE WHITE PLAGUE in MINNESOTA.

The Minneapolis Times calls attention to a
statement of the prevalence of tuberculosis in
Minnesota prepared by Dr. d. NJ. Bracken secre-
4ary of the state board of health. He gives the
a1u1nber of deaths in the state from this dread
disease in 1904 as 1898. OF these 1926 were
a1nder 20 and $40 between 20 and 80 years of
age. Fully SO per cent of the mortality was of
persons between Is and 40 years-the most pro-
ductive years of mans life. The sex of the
victims divided, 937 to 1861 women
St. Paul lost 242, Minneapolis $40 and Duluth
104, total of 33 per cent of the total deaths
from this disease in the state.
The specialists estimate that for every death
from tuberculosis there are five in the com
anunity afflicted with the disease On this
ratio there are probably 1850 sufferers from
