General T. Warren Kefer who returned to the
present Congress after twenty years Absence first
entered the House in the Forty-Fifth Congress. He
was assigned to War Claims, rather unimportant
committee even in these days. 1t did not seem much
to him. but before the end of the first session he had
an opportunity and made place for himself

assignments joke. He placed on Pensions
and Irrigation of Arid Lands. Before the Spanish
war the Pension committee amounted to little.
Tawney is another man who made place for himself
in five minute speeches. The Wilson tariff bill be-
fore that Congress, and the Minnesota took part
in the running debate He attracted the attention of
Reed, and when in the next Congress Reed was
Speaker he made Tawney member of the Ways and
him further and made him chairman of the Appro-
pratons committee which, by many, is preferred
as being important than Ways and Means.

They will read his speech and see something in it.
They will talk with him and dissuade him from his

nominating conventions around he has dis
covered the better side of congressional service
He has found that men have weighed him and are
willing to give him credit for what is in him, and
he remains and becomes useful member OF the
House. These men, and those who see the hu1nor-
Gus side of their poor committee assignments and
of their speeches made to empty houses, get along
all right and it is from this class that the control

men who finally become somebody.

The late Speaker Reed was not so kindly disposed

of their real character. Between August and the
middle of September out of population of 4o, 144
4,o4I died of the disease. Anyone who wishes to
know what terror and social disturbance such an
epidemic will create read the graphic descrip-
ton given by Mathew Carey, eye witness. 1t is
pleasant read that Stephen Girard the wealthiest
merchant in the city and Peter Helm, prominent
citizen, personally undertook the superintendent
of the yellow fever hospital, which in deplor
able condition, and by their able management
brought order out of chaos.
The scenes in New Orleans and Memphis in the
epidemic of 1873 only little behind those en-
acted in Philadelphia. The loss of life is only part
of the distress which the disease has cost the coun
try. The amount contributed by the world at
large to the stricken cities of the South in 1873
S4,54S,7o3. Dr. Hoobeck has estimated that the
actual loss to the country not less than one
hundred million dollars. There is little doubt that
the story of yellow fever in 1873 would have been
repeated in 1908, had not the proper measures been
instituted.

made by the application of all existing knowledge

tension of epidemic of yellow fever differs in
many respects from the extension of other epidem-
les, such smallpox, that the idea had been
pressed that the disease was probably conveyed by
insect 1t was Reeds problem to show that the
disease could be conveyed by an insect; to ascer-
ascertain at what period, after having bitten per-
with yellow fever, the insect became capable of
conveying the disease and for how long period;
to show that the disease could be conveyed in
other way. All this was done by a series of bril-
liantly conceived and successfully executed expert
ments. AS all animals immune to the disease,
it necessary that the experiments be made on
human beings.

conveyed in other way. The spread of yellow
fever be most effectually controlled by
directed to the destruction of mosquitoes and the
prevention of their bite.
1t is both interesting and sad to see how little
popular appreciation has been given to the work
of DR.. Reed. The work of Austrian surgeon
who devised method, not so good as to super
sede other methods, for the relief of rare de-
fornity in childhood, is better known by the
people generally. DR.. Reed died of appendicitis

Such service to humanity brings pecuniary
reward. The United States Government has
allowed his widow very modest pension. An
effort has been made to raise by subscription
a fund of twenty-five thousand dollars, the in
to be devoted to DR.. Reeds widow and
daughter during their lives, while at their death
the principal is to be used either in the erection
of monument to DR.. Reeds memory in the
promotion of research in his special field of work.
In the three years which have elapsed since
August IS, 1908, when the fund was begun, it has
been possible to raise only seventeen thousand
dollars.

n ARELY can a question be as
satisfactorily answered as,
IN 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 a
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 it
ranks with such great medical dis
coveries as vaccination, anasthesla,
antisepsis in surgery, and ant1toXln
in diphtheria.
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 furtherance of commerce
which are incalculable This dis
covery was made in December, 1900.
Our northern cities have been visited
by no great epidemics in recent
years; we have no personal knowl-
edge of the horror and suffering
which a great epidemic brings, nor
have we heard the words of those
who have lived through one.

any compensation. saying that they

of humanity and the cause of sci

and recovered.
In order to show that the disease
could not be conveyed by the cloth
ing and by the discharges from the
patient, small tight house was con-
structed, in which was placed the
soiled clothing worn by those who
had died of the disease, soiled bed
ding, etc. In this house containing
the filthy clothing and bedding taken
from the sick, Dr. Robert P. Cooke,
an acting assistant surgeon of the
United States army, and two young
privates of the hospital corps, Folk
and Jernigan, all non-immunes, slept
for twenty days. They even wore
the shirts which had been worn by
patients throughout their entire i'll
ness. None of them acquired the
disease
1t is known from this work that
yellow fever can be conveyed only by
the bite of a mosquito, called stego-
myia fdscidtd, that has previously
fed on the blood of those sick of
the disease. An interval of twelve
days is necessary after a mosquito
has bitten the yellow fever patient

Ing the needs OF its citizens, as a re.
suit of a decision handed down by
Judge Sanborn in the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals.
When the city gave a twenty-year

Company in 1885, one of the provi.
sions insisted on by the city was that
by giving notice one year before the
expiration of the franchise, the city
could purchase the plant. the value OF

praisers appointed by the two parties.
When the time arrived for it's deci.
sion the city gave notice of it's inten.
ton to buy the plant, but later re.
scinded its action. The water company
sued to have the city compelled to
take the plant off its hands, but lost its
case in the lower courts.
The Court of Appeals, however, de,
cided that the franchise was legal

sions of the contract had been lived up
to when the city made its first deci-
sion and that that decision is binding

of the lower court is reversed and the
