States Enter Into the Fight.

Until the year of the war with Spain the
sanatorium movement remained in the
hands OF individuals and some few county
medical societies. In that year Massachu-
sets established the first state sanatorium
Last year the state of New York opened
sauatorium in the Adirondacks; five other
states are building sanatoria; in the legis-
latur,-s of several others bills for state san
atoria are pending. and two natoria which
receive providential subsidies have recently
been opened in Canada.

state institutions would make a man a

Spread of the Sanatorium.

The remarkable growth Of the sanatorium
movement is representative of the extent
and ferceness Of the fight now being waged
upon tuberculosis.
Before 1888 not a single ssnatorium for
conservatives existed in America. Prior to
that time the humane thought they were
doing everything necessary for cOnSump-
tlves when they founded homes To shelter
their sufferngs. once consumptire, even
though his case was incipient, entered such
a home he abandoned all hope.
But in 1885 DR.. Trudeau. with a shanty

Quarters. started his experiment OF arrest
ing incipient tuberculosis among his hand
ful OF patients by means OF constant and
consistent living in the open and the con-
sumption Of plenty OF nourishing food. such
as milk eggs and the most nutritious of
the meats.
To the intense surprise of the medical
profession the experiment turned out sue
ccSsfuliy But what seems astonishing now,
there was no decided attempt to follow up
this initial success, which held out such
large promise. by the erection Of other SAN
atoria either by individuals or the state,
ana only at long intervals did a sanatorium
spring into existence.
As late as ten years ago less than fifty
slnatoria were at work in this country and
Canada Within the latter half of this pc
Rod has come the sudden and full awak-
enuE. and the sanatorta have increased
until today they number over two hundred.
An example of their growth is evidenced

1t has developed that there is no
place on the western slope more likely
to secure sugar factory than Delta.
The fact that we are surrounded By
the largest territory of available land
Of any town in this section of the state
makes the location safe one for the
sugar company. There could never be
the least doubt but that more than
enough beets would be raised for oper-
alton, with railroad facilities for bring
ing beets from three directions, from
sections too, Immediately surrounding
Delta. At present one of the most
favorable sections of the county for
beet culture is in the vicinity of Hotch-
kiss on the North Fork branch. This
is an easy haul to this place; while for
ten miles in almost every direction
from Delta the soil isespecially adapted
to the raising Of sugar beets. How
ever, it is the unlimited territory that
can be used for this purpose that makes
a sugar factory here absolutely GER

The municipal election is now in
sight and there is some indication that
the really Objectionable feature of the
campaign will be eliminated-the license
or no license ticket. tits proposed that
the license or no license be settled by
a separate ballot, which will prevent
the candidates of any party from being
confused with this issue. Many times
this issue will elect an entire ticket,
regardless Of their ability to care for
the interests Of the city. This is not
confined to any one side of the PROPOSE
tion either, for there are "dry" years
and "wet" years in Delta and when
the signs are right for either side the
ticket is elected regardless of the
qualifications of those who compose it.
If this can be done it will undoubtedly
give Delta better business administra-
ton in the future and the prohibition
question will also be more effectually
settled.

There are several things that point to
an improvement in the consular service
of the United States. Tho foreign
commerce of the country which has
made such great strides since 1900 is
capable of much greater development
and it is realized that educated consuls
speaking the language of the countries
to which they are accredited are indis-
pensable accessories to the promotion
of trade. In this particular we have
been outclassed by England. and Ger
many; whose consuls and commercial
agents were men of parts, of fine ad-
dress and good manners, speaking
readily the language of the country.

has introduced bin to create Com
missioner Of Consuls and to reorganize
the consular service of the United
States. By the terms of the bill the

yearly to congress. It also provides
for the complete reorganization of the
consular service.

A sensation was sprung in congress
last week by the action of the House
in returning to the Senate the Agricul-
tural bill with its amendment affecting
the drawback on wheat. The House
indignantly repudiated the action of
the Senate in making an amendment
which clearly violates a provision Of
the Constitution and is direct attack
on the privilege of the House to origi-
nate all revenue legislation. Party
lines were forgotten in the spirited
protest against the action of the Sem
ate and by vote of 261 to s the bill
was returned to the Senate. Speeches
were made by both the majority and
minority leaders and the work of the
Senate in the matter was characteriz-
ed as an aggressive attack of the Sen
ate on the House. The inconsistency

testing against the action of the Presi-

mere defence from aggression as relat-
ing to the petty republics of this he
misphere is SO patent and so just that
it need only be mentioned to be ap-
proved. 1t is expected that the Senate
will confirm the protocol if not at this
session then at the called session im-
mediately after the fourth of March.
The tension between the Senate and
the President, it is thought has been
very much exaggerated. AS has been
said of the President he does not wear
his heart on his sleeve but he wears his
mind on his sleeve. Anybody can know
what he thinks about anything. In
fact the only way they can avoid know
ing it is to keep out of earshot. His
words in his letter to Senator Cullom
when he sent the treaty to the Senate
were: 1.-THE Senate has of course the
right to reject or to amend in any way
it sees fit any treaty laid before it and
it is clearly the duty of the Senate to
take any step which in the exercise of
its best judgment it deems to be for
the interest of the nation" Those
words will stand forever as a refuta-
tion Of the assertion that the president
attempted to usurp the treaty making
power.

The Presidents message accompany

The Monroe doctrine seems to be very
applicable to the United States for the
reason that it grows in strength with
the American nation. It is now being
used to collect custom revenues for
Santo Domingo and to pay her foreign
obligations. If the United States,
under the Monroe doctrine, is bound to
protect these smaller republics it is
certainly proper that they be- made to
do the right thing.
