~ ARELY can a question be as
satisfactorily answered as,
L WHAT IS the greatest achieve
ment in medicine during the last
decade." Whether this question was
asked in England, France, Germany,
Italy, or America, the answer would
be the same The discovery by
Major Walter Reed, surgeon in the
United States army, that yellow
fever is conveyed to a susceptible
Individual by the bite of mosquito
which had previously bitten
patient with yellow fever, and can
be conveyed in no other way, is not
only the greatest medical achieve
ment in the past decade, but 1t
ranks with such great medical dis
coVcricS as vaccination, anUSthcSla,
antisepsis in surgery, and antltoNin
in diphtherla.
The intelligent application of this
knowledge to the protection of a
community against yellow fever has
led TO results in the saving of life
and in the furthcrancc of commerce
which are incalculable. This dis
CoVerV was made in December, 1000.
Our northern cities have been visited
by no great cpidcmics in recent
years; we have no personal knoWl-

which a great epidemic brings, nor
have we heard the words of those
who have lived through one.

BRIGHT. NEwsY PAPER.

The Sun is in receipt of the initial
issue of The Choctaw Herald" six
column. fonr-sheet daily published by
Mr.. Jesse lCurd, former Paducahan
who is now located at Bokoshe, /. T.,
where his daily is printed.
Mr. Curd comes out in the following
salutatory:
The publication of a newspaper is
very much like any other undertake
ing or business enterprise-it depends
upon its merits for success. 1t is in
tended by the editor of The Choctaw
Herald that this paper shall merit the
approval and patronage of the people
Of Bokoshe and the Choctaw Nation;
1t shall at all times use its influence
for the upbuilding of the csuntry
through which It oirculates, which con-
stitutes thoroughly local newspaper;
II shall fight for a larger and greater
Bokoshe. which, when attained, means
a greater surrounding country; it re-
serves the right to speak openly and
freely upon all questions Of public in
terest, and maintains that il is the
duty CT every true man to take post
ton for all that stands for morality,
progress and the peace and prosperity
of this. the most glorious land that the
sun shines on.
This is our decartion OF principles
and we know that every intelligent
citizen of Bokoshe and the Choctaw
Nation must, per force, agree with us.
Bokoshe, we think. has all the
marks of a good town, and the Herald
with this Issue puts its shoulder to
the wheel and starts 1t rolling toward
the goal OF the fulfillment of its asplr-
ations-a thriving city.
Bokoshe, to gain a place in the con-
stelation of cities. needs factories
where her inhabitants may find en-
ployment. and our policy shall be to
devote our time and space TO this end.
Bokoshe should have modern i'm
proyements; streets, sidewalks, water
and electric lights. and as a progress
siye country newspaper we shall ad-
vocate these things.
Bokoshe must have a hustling, in
dustrious, Woodworking commercial
club to aid her wlde-awake business
men and citizens In securing the i'm.
provements and in making busy city

Mr.. Curd was in the local mail car
rier service until few weeks ago
when he went West TO locate. His
friends here will wish him success in
his new field. II the paper keeps up
TO the standard OF its initial number
II is bound to succeed and the people
of Bokoshe may be proud of it.

Every dispatcher employed by tn,
Illinois Central railroad company the
entire system over. will. beginning al

ten days duration. The announce
ment was made this morning and
will come as a pleasant surprise to
the hundreds of dispatchers en-
ployed by the Illinois Central. IL is a
just recognition of their services.
The first man to take advantage OF
the new rule was Mr.. Allan j. Jor-
censor, a trick dispatcher at Fulton,
Ky, on the Tennessee division of the
road. Mr.. Jorgenson began his ten
days vacation this morning and
came TO Paducah where he was first
located to spend the first day of IL.
The road has notified us that we
are TO get an annual vacation of ten
days beginning at once. took adyan-
tage of the new rule and am going to
Chicago tomorrow to spend my va
cation" he stated at the depot on
arrival. "rhe dispatchers are greatly
pleased with the action and no bet
ter appreciation of the work could be
shown than by giving dispatchers a
vacation"
The rule will effect hundreds of
men on the system, four being effect
cd In the Paducah Offices. The action
came as a surprise.

From press reports of the PennsyI

From press reports of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad investigation, it would
appear that a coal baron, who wishes
to be served with cars in a hurry, has
TO pursue much the same policy as an
ordinary American citizen in hurry
for his dinner. Tips run from a five
cent cigar TO quarter of million
dollars on the Pennsylvania lines, ac-
cording to the value the official places
on himself. After all. the disclosures
open up new line of inquiry--ls the
graft evil a natural outgrowth of our
American political system or is the evil
a development of modern business
practices which has infected our whole
social institution? The tip nuisance
is OF foreign origin-like the Norway
rat. Is ii not ossible that we owe
the essential elements of graft Euro
pean Initiative? True, the system
has reached its highest development
and widest practice in this country. but
then. everything good or bad does.
We had thought graft was inseparable
from politics. Now we find 1t has RAM
ifies the organization of great business
enterprises, probably unknown 10 some
in authority. 1t may be that this is so
cial evil and not simply a political
evil we are confronted with. We are
Justly Mortified when man in official
position yields ever so little to TIE
temptation to take advantage of his
opportunity 10 turn an easy dollar.
And yet, how many men in every walk
in life almost daily practice in small
degree the methods of the coal barons
and the railroad servants-rewarding
unusual and exclusive concessions at
the expense of competitors, and ac-
cepting gratuities in disguised forms
with the ready excuse: Everybody
does it," Bride giving and bride TAX
ing are many sided and have different
name for every point of view.

SOME NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITIES
FOR BIG PROFITS, ORIENTAL TRADE.

ca, the American tradesmen are out
Of the race. Our cOmmeros is fall

ticle sent 10 these tropical Oriental
people by this manufacturers OF Eu-
rope which could not be produced
and sold by the manufacturers of the
United States at profitable prices.
What is the explanation of the
strange shortcoming OF American in
dustry In this respect? Mr.. Austin
has made thorough study OF condi-
tons and merhods prevailing In ORR
entail commerce, and he finds the an
swer simple enough. The American
producer offers to tropical consum-
ers articles made for use in temper
ate climates. wholly forgetting that
what is suitable for the American
people is quite unsuited to the needs
and habits of the far-away people.
The European manufacturers, on the
other hand. recognizing the fact that
goods made for a tempsrate-zone,O DC
cidenial people. win not meet the re-
quirements of tropical zone. Orien-
tai people, long ago abandoned the
effort to force that class of manufac-
lures into the Orient. and. according

THE EASY OIL.

SCOTS Emulsion is
"the easy oil easy to
take, easy in action. Its
use insures deliverance
from the gripping and nau-
seating sensation peculiar
to the raw oil. Nobody
who has any regard for
their stomach thinks of
taking cod liver oil in the
old way when SCOTS
Emulsion is to be had.
1t is equally certain that
no one having a regard for
their health will accept a
cheap emulsion or alco-
holic substitute for SCOTS

Bank Statement.
DENATURED ALCOHOL.

A plain statement of the benefits
TO be derived from the passage of the
bill for the removal of the internal
revenue tax on denatured alcohol lust
med its passage. The opposition was
from two sources: The prohibitionists
aud the Standard oil company. The
prohibitionists fear the alcohol NAV be
smuggled to the dealers In liquors or
redistilled for drinking purposes.
The penalties provided Will prevent
such attempt The Standard OIL
company opposed the bill because
the denatured alcohol would take
the place of gasoline. One gallon Of
denatured alcohol IS equal to two gal
Ions of gasoline for fuel, light or for
running motors. II is claimed the al
eohol can be made in large quantities
f'r eight to ten cents per gallon. This
you'd cut down the price of the COM
peting gasoline product one-half. re-
suhing in the saving Of millions of dol
lars. And above all else denatured
alcohol is perfectly safe. Its substi-
tuition for gasoline would save hun.
dreds OF lives. 1t is also without the
Objectionable odor that goes with gas
oline. In Cuba denatured alcohol Is
sod for twelve cents per gallon and Is
IN almost universal use. In Germany
and Russia it is cheap and common.
