PHHADELPHIA's SCOURGE.

In five days of last week 270 cases
of typhoid fever were reported in
Philadelphia. Two hundred and
forty-seven new cases were reported
the week before. Year in and year
out Philadelphia averages about 200
cases of typhoid weekly, or more
than 10000 year. 1t is well within
the bounds of reason to say that
every case of typhoid fever costs the
victim at least 5000. Often the ex-
pense is very much higher.
So it will be seen that typhoid
costs the citizens of Philadelphia in
doctor bills, nursing, medicine and
lost time something like $2,000,000
every year. This leaves out of the
question the sorrow, the heartbreak,
the lasting woe of those who are be-
reaved by typhoid fever. And typhoid
is classed by physicians as an abso-
lutely preventable disease.
Nothing but the water supply is
blamed by the health officers for the
prevalence of typhoid fever" says a
Philadelphia paper And it adds:
"The filtration system will not be fin
lshed inside of from two to three
years" In other words, for from two
to three years longer the citizens OF
Philadelphia must endure the scourge
of typhoid fever.

SUNDAY CLOSING MADE EASY.

In instructing the jury trying the
saloon men in Baker county for
keeping open on sunday, Judge Sam
White said emphatically, that it was
not necessary for the state to prove
a sale of liquor on Sunday, in order
to convict
IF THE STATE COULD PROVE
THAT THE SALOON DOORS WERE
KEPT OPEN FOR THE SALE OF
LIQUOR, THIS WAS ALL THAT
THE STATUTE REQUIRED TO
CONVICT AND HE ORDERED THE
JURY TO RETURN A VERDICT OF
GUILTY WHERE THE STATE HAD
PROVED THAT DOORS WERE
KEPT OPEN ON SUNDAY, RE
CARELESS OF SALES.
And yet where so little evidence as
this is required, the law is flagrant-
ly violated everywhere. Where the
evidence of one responsible citizen
showing that saloon doors were kept
open on Sunday. would convict every
saloon man in Oregon of a felony,
they are run wide open regardless of
the law
Is the saloon man wholly to blame
where public sentiment is thus cal
loused to the breach of the laws?
Are not the people themselves large
Iy to blame for the flagrant violation
of this law, where such a condition
Of apathy exists?
And yet just such a condition of
apathy existed in Baker county be-
fore District Attorney Lomax and
Sheriff Brown exhibited moral cour-
age and backbone enough to enforce
the law. After they had once made
the start, public sentiment has be-
come so strong in backing them up,
that everybody now favors Sunday
closing and the suppression of gam
bling and the town is not suffering,
either. but is improving it's reputa-
ton and is taking on the semblance
Of a civilized community.
The officials who have thus enforc-
ed the law in Baker county will go
down in the history of the state as
the most honest, the most fearless,
the most courageous in the states his
tory because they dared to assert
their manhood and read the law

THE PRnIEvAL ROOSEVELT.

Beginning today, President Roose-
welt will shake off the dust of capitol
and for two months will be cuddled
in the bosom of nature, as found in
the Colorado and Texas mountains
and deserts.
Nowhere else in the world is this
return of ruler to nature possible.
In Europe it is impossible for even
the most progressive ruler to lay
aside the crushing weight of his
crown and insignia, for a resting spell
such as Roosevelt will take this
spring.
Being one of the people. chosen by
them, owing his best efforts to their
welfare, why should not Roosevelt or
any other president be one of them
in fact? Why should he not take a
vacation, following his bent for a
month and build up brain and nerve
vigor for fresh tasks on his return to
Washington?
If it requires this sort of relaXa-
tion to rebuild Roosevelt's expended
energies, let him take it freely, with
out criticism. He is the hardest
worker that has ever held the office,
so let him play hard if it is necessary
to preserve his force.

LIQUID SUNSHINE CURE.

Dr. Harper, president of the Uni
versity of Chicago, who is critically
i'll with cancer, is taking liquid sun
shine treatment, as prescribed by DR..
w. ]. Morton, its discoverer.
Liquid sunshine is the life-giving
property felt in the warmth and glow
of the suns rays, extracted by deli
cate processes and condensed into a
medicine which can be given in doses
to suit the needs of the occasion. 1t
is the very latest achievement in
chemistry and its effect as a medi-
cine is being watched with intense in
terest.
This medicine, given in connection
with the X-ray treatment is said to
cause the patient to glow at every
pore of the skin, as if million can
dies had been lighted in the tiny
cells of the cuticle.
Light and colors are coming into
use as medicines and this use of the
condensed sunshine, while it seems
fabulous promises to be one of the
common remedies of the future.

Bryan finds the work of promul-
eating plans for democratic reorgani-
zation to be a chilly task, in the light
of Roosevelt's popularity. If all
democrats were like Bryan, reorgan-
ization would not be necessary. But
as it is, reorganization, salt, nor no
other known preservative can save
some democrats, so the people prefer
the democratic Roosevelt and his
daredevil honesty, to the questiona-
BILE democracy of some of the self
styled democratic leaders.

INVESTMENTS THAT PAY.

In New York there are thousands
of acres now vacant, which, so or a
100 years hence. may have enormous
value, says the Post of that city. The
land investments of the Astor family
are the classic illustration. The first
John Jacob invested $2,OOO,O0O in
New York real estate; according to
competent judges, its value today, plus
the value of the land purchased by
its earnings, ranges anywhere from
$500, 100000 to $500, 600, 600.
In 1904, John Jacob Astor purchas-
ed the Samler farm-several blocks
south of the present Tompkins Square
for $25,O00.. it is now worth not
far from sS,OOO,0OO. In 1926, William
b. Astor bought a half interest in the
Thompson farm-eXtending along the
present line of Fifth avenue from
S1st to 36st street-for $4,000; it is
now worth at least $35,0OO,OOO Both
these properties, when acquired, were
neglected wastes-partly swamp land;
and their purchasers were regarded
as fit subjects for the insane asylum.
Where lie the city's future Fifth ave-
nues, Broadways and Wall streets?
With modern transit, there are
practically no limits to our growth.
When the present city plan was
adopted i'm 1911, the commissioners
felt constrained to apologize for map
ping New York up to 155th street. 1t
would be many centuries, they ex-
planned, before the Harlem plains
would be built upon.
