THE CURE FOR EP,DEMlC.s,

Now that the government has as
tricts immediate beneficial results may
be expected. There is only one way
to deal with dangerous epidemics and
in most cases local authorities for OBJ
vious reasons lack peremptoriness in
their dealings with the disease. No
force so quickly and thoroughly stamps
out disease and establishes preventive
precautions as the military acting with
absolute authority and untramr1eled by
1t is only few days since New Or
leans physicians were issuing bulle
tins denying the existence Of yellow
fever except in sporadic cases; at the
same time other states were establish
ing shot gun guarantees and the VIC
tins were dying by scores. And all this
in the face of the fact that almost any
epidemic may be stamped out by rigid
and effective action, within few
WShS. 1lasdIus lASoiA AVN AaAS 1ASesA
torial regime of the American military,
has been free from the fever, while
Louisiana and the other gulf and lower
river states, neglectful of proper pre-
caution, are infected by the plague and
have attempted to hide the facts Of
their infection.
What is true Of yellow fever in the
south is equally true of smallpox, diph-
iberia and other epidemic diseases in
the, north. The weak policy of most
cities is to conceal the facts Of an cpl
delnic Of typhoid or other infectious
diseases until carelessness and con-
cealment carries disaster and the facts
force themselves to general notice.
Infectious disease is not local mat
ter. In these days of rapid transit,
when smallpox patient may breakfast
in Chicago and spread his disease at
a dinner table in Omaha or Sioux
City, it becomes an interstate and
national affair. 1t is a pity that no
governmental bureau with peremptory
powers, has national supervision over
outbreaks of infectious disease. We
put a government expert into every
packing house to guard against
trichinosis. Why not district gov
eminent inspector of health conditions
and sanitation, clothed with authority?
The cure for epidemics is reremptori-
ness.

TERMS:
The Wheel.


The wheel turns and the water falls.
Shall we not linger here and rest?
The sun grown weary of the day
Has lit his campfires in the west
And far away
A late bird calls.
The wheel turns and the slow hours
fall
From off Times spindle. You and /.
Shall we have woven cloth of
gold,
To make Love brave in, ere we die
Or grow too old
To hear him call?
The wheel turns and the water falls,
The singing stream that knew the
hill
Leaps to the wheel, and, broken
there,
Goes coursing EDWARDS, singing still.
And hasting where
The deep sea calls
The wheel stops. See, the shadows
fall,
The sleeping sun no beacon shows.
BELOVED, we too, even as the stream,
Have known the breaking wheel 1t
knows;
But hold our dream
Till Death shall call.

BEING A MAN.

Mr.. Cleveland as an author has not
been prolific Of saws or proverbs. Lit
tie that he has written has been with
out certain merit but his Johnsonian
ponderosity of expression has made his
writings quite as curious as helpful
Consequently it is refreshing to
marked degree when in his latest arti-
Gle he bluntly advises BE man and
live like a man" Not only is this the
best type of good advice, but it's mono
syllable brevity and bluntness should
go far to help us forget "usufruct" and
"innocuous desuetude.'
What Mr.. Cleveland means when
he says BE man and live like
man? is a question for each to ask of
himself and answer. Essentially it
rests on the square DEAL" Men who
are square with themselves and 9TH
ers will live close to Mr.. Clevelands
gospel. Minor affiliations Of politics.
business and religion will not count
largely. They are incidental. Men who
are men to all men will be square in
business, fair in politics and sincere in
religion.
Ora Williams in the Chicago Review,
relating the incident of Eben w. Mar
tins midnight speech to a turbulent
South Dakota state convention, quotes
q fairly good definition of the kind of
man Mr.. Cleveland doubtless had in
mind. Martin then practically an UNI
known man is now a candidate for
United States senator from Dakota. He
held his audience as by an incarnation
They called for more and got it. One
Of his political opponents being asked
the secret of Martins power furnish
ed the definition. Said he "He is a
man who believes intensely that he is
right, SO intensely that he is ready to
spend his time and his money in MAX
ing others believe the same way
That is part of the definition of man

convictions of right and wrong and
live close to them. Manliness is ag
gressive. It stands for its ideals, and

nIyoRce COURT NEWS.

The Marion Register conforms to
4 very sensible rule in reporting the
divorce cases in the district court
docket. 1t merely gives the names of
the parties and let's it go at that. 1T
does no good" ayers the Register, ITO
parade the skeleton in the home that
Is about to be abolished"
Doubtless the publicity generally Civ
en- to divorce cases may act as de-
terrent to prevent people rushing to
court to air their matrimonial trou
bles, but much of it is In response to a
demand that does not deserve to be
satisfied. People read greedily of the
quarrels and cussedness of other peo-
pie, whose only excuse for notoriety is
that they broke their marriage vows
or each others heads. It is readily
understood that Mr. and Mrs. Blanks
neighbors desire details regarding the
fuptured relations of the high contract
ing parties, but why other people to
whom the parties to the row are mere
names should be particularly interest
Cd Is not so evident.
Bud sensational divorce proceedings
are news. Just at present the daily
press is paying telegraph tolls on 500
words or so each day describing how
Captain Taggart tore his wife's skirt
in a quarrel, and how Mrs. Taggart
! drank to intoxication. Who ever heard
of Captain Taggart before he tore his
wife's skirt, or of Mrs. Taggart until
she led up to the row by getting
s'oreide" III a canteen? And why should
we care for description Of their fam
lily row more than for one of matri-
monial infelicity ending in fatirons and
an order to take your clothes and co.
down on Smoky Alley?
The appetite for news is curious
one. Sometimes it grows morbid and
Graves magnesia. and slate pencils and
graphic stories Of conjugal insurrec-
tion. The public knows its own taste,
but most editors will agree with the
Register that the demand for divorce
news is not one to be stimulated.

A proud. healthy youth Of twenty,
man In size, strong, in full possession
of his mental facilities, loved by his
parents, admired by his friends, the
rich, red blood of a vigorous constttu-
ton filling his veins and flushing his
face, he takes his first drink of liquor
The sensation benumbs him. His giddy
young brain whirls with new deler-
ium. He feels a new and false strength
overcome his system. He has a feel
ing of independence never before ex-

ing of strength and inauguration he
drinks often. Aside from stare of
his Youthful eyes and an almost imper-
ceptible odor on his breath there is no
one can tell that he has been drinking.
He can quit at any time. He drinks a
little because he enjoys it. 1t brings
him in touch with jovial, good fellows.
He is deluded enough to believe the
experience he has is real pleasure.
With blood shot eyes, face flushed
with red that denotes anything but
health, young in years but old in
health, with constitution sadly in
need of strength, his brain a whirling
red hot conslomeration of desires
detested by his acquaintance. pitied
by his parents, this same young man
twenty years later, stands before the
court of justice to receive his sentence
for inebriacy. His wife and family
have long since left him. The only
desire he now has for liquor is an in
sane belief that he cannot live without
it. He has stolen in order to get more
of this devilish red stuff to pour down
his throat. He has gone so far now
that he wants to quit, but the man is
no longer master of himself and he no
longer controls his own movements,
everything he does is for want of this
liquor which years ago he found so
cheering. Benumbed to all senses he
only implores the judge to allow him
to go this one time, he does not say
that his only reason now is that he
wants to get more whisky.
