Vigilance and Health.

From fever stricken New Orleans
there comes a story apparently so i'm
probable as to suggest the rise of
southern rival for the famous LIE Sueur
iprevaricator, yet vouched for by a cor
respondent of reliability and put in
print in conservative newspapers of the
east. 1t is in effect that the inspectors
discovered a full-grown COW in the liv-
ing rooms of Sicilian family, on the
third floor Of house in the congested
district. AS the building was very d.
lapidated and the stairway 50 shaky
as scarcely to sustain the weight Of
two men, the inspectors were. at loss
ito figure out how the animal came to
a its high abode. Its owner finally con-
fessed that three years before he had
carried up calf, which had now be-
come the COW.
While one might hesitate to accept
this story without some little allowance,
it is fact, nevertheless, that in
crowded tenement districts Of large
cities, conditions are quick to develop
that are menace to the general health.
Eternal vigilance on the part Of the
health officials is necessary, for, once
it is relaxed, filth accumulates and dis
Z ease increases. One has only to glance
into chapter of one of Jacob Riis ,
& books on New York to understand what
the budding together of thousands of
people in unsanitary quarters means.
New Orleans is worse than New York
in that her climate is such that condi-
tions inimical to health are more likely
to arise there. The present center of
infection is the Italian quarter. Here
the inhabitants, many scarcely yet
u Americanized at all, are crowded to-
gether in dense masses. The mosquito
theory of the spread Of the fever may
= be the correct one, but all health au-
thorities agree that whatever the pri.
mary cause, or however it may be han.
died, mosquitoes or no mosquitoes, dirt
and unsanitary conditions facilitate its
work. The city Of Memphis learned
4 the lesson Of the necessity for cleanli
ness when fever swept it some thirty
years ago, and there has been no sucf
severe visitation since, thanks to the
general cleaning up that followed.
Much comment is made as to the eff
feet of the fever upon the commerce O.

bad side is being exaggerated. It is ;
most unfavorable thing, and will iniur,

TO THE WHITE HOUSE BY THE
MATRIMONIAL RoAD.-John Hakon, a

VI CdtlC VI imp vfGIIll1 MlSu6lS lQldS-
ination, is ambitious. He wants to
serve the people in the White House.
He has Stood thru one term as a United
States senator, for absolute honesty, and
then has been turned out by the ma,
chine. But later. he is found to be de-
sirable timber for the presidency and
is pushed forward by the nations boss,
Amos Graystone, who sees in Hakon's
bachelorhood a chance to make his own
daughter mistress of the White House.
There, is the basis of Mr.. Mighels' The
Ultimate Passion.
The basis is good. Upon it might, it
seems to us, have been built a story
much more convincing than Mr.. Mighels
has given u.s. Hakon himself is quite
impossible. He is a mere paper doll, Of
only two dimensions-his ambition to
serve the people and his love Of one
woman, and that one is not she whom
he agrees to marry in order to get to
the presidency. How a man of his quail
fications could be considered for so high
an office, even by bosses who are after
a mere tool, IS astounding. Graystone
as a boss Is guilty thruout Of coarse
work" He does things with brutal
force that succeeds, but after all it i'm
presses the reader for it's clumsiness as
much as anything else. And this lack
Of delicacy, Of f1nesse, characterizes the
work Of all Of the characters, except
possibly Ruth.
One having begun the story will be
likely to read to the end. That is be-
cause the situation with which Mr..
Mighels begins his tale is good, and be-
cause the beginning is better than the
ending. But most readers will wish that
Mr.. Mighels had worked his story over
and polished it to a finer finish.
