MAJOR LENTZ RESIGNS.
Republican Boss of Esseu County
Retires to the Ranks.

Major Carl Lentz. the Republican leader of
Essex County resigned yesterday as chairman
OF the county committee and as a member OF
the state committee. and will now become a
private IN the ranks Major Lentz sent a long
statement to the members of the county COM
mittee, giving his reasons for resigning and
pointing to the many services he had rendered
to the party in Essex. His letter TO Chairman
Briggs of the Republican State Committee. re-
signing from that body, was short and sweet.
as no love is lost between these two Mr..
Briggs. who has been mentioned as the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor next year. is said
to have had much TO do with Major Lentz 5
retirement.
In the letter sent TO the members of the
county committee Major Lent2 expressed the
hope that the committee would now choose a
leader who would bring together the warning
factions of the party to insure Republican sue
cess next fall.
The resignation Of Major LentE was no sur
prise to thoss familiar with Republican cond.-
tions in Essex. The real leader of the Republi-
in the last campaign in Essex was Colonel
Anthony Kuser. son-in-law OF Senator Dryden
but the defeat of the Republican party in Essex
last Tuesday by about seven thousand votes
after a campaign in which the Democrats made
Major Lentz an ISSUE served to hasten his re-
tirement
The greatest blow Major Lentz's prestige re-
ceived was when he ran for Sheriff OF Essex
County, in 1902. William c. Nicoll, a Demo-
crat, defeated the major by 1000 votes. while
the rest of the Republican ticket was elected
by plurality of about 1900. In the following
year John S. Gibson tried to defeat the major for
the Craftsmanship, but LentZ again came out
winner.
In the early part OF last year, Everett Colby,
then an Assemblyman, defeated Major Lentz at
the primaries and obtained the Republican NOM
ination for Senator. Mr., Colby elected by
a plurality of more than 1000 votes, but the
ajor still held his craftsmanship, which he has
finally relinQuished voluntarily.
Great Joy was expressed at the New idea
headquarters yesterday, when it became known
that Major Lentz had retired and predictions
were freely made that Colonel Dickinson, of
Hudson, whose defeat on Tuesday was much
more overwhelming than Major Lentz's. would
be the next to retire from active leadership
in the Republican party.
George E. Decamp, ytce-chairman of the
county committee, viii probably take Major
Lentzs place until his successor is chosen, two
weeks from last night. On the last Friday in
December chairman for the following year will
be elected Although the committee Is
trolled by the machine, prominent New Idea
men, like Lathrop Anderson and Assemblyman
William Martin, the New Idea leader in the
lower house of the last Legislature, have been
mentioned for the place.

pEMEpY FOR TUBERCULOSIS.

Drs Calmette and Guerin. who are
identified with the French Academy of
Sciences. have, according to a dispatch
from Washington. discovered a vaccine
that will render the human race i'm
mune from tuberculosis. Their method
is a simple one. 1t consists in treating
infants a few days after birth with a
small quantity of human and bovine
tuberculosis bacilli. BY this means, it
is asserted, they will be protected for
life from the white plague and in the
end the malady will disappear entirely.
w. p. Atwell, American consul at Bou-
boix, reports the discovery.
DR.. Calmette is reported as saying
that after repeated experiments it has
been shown that tuberculosis bacilli
other agents pass through the walls of
the intestines as readily as living bacilli
and are found In the mesentexic gang
lions and lungs. 1t was learned that
vcung animals treated with dead bacilli
were unable to endure a heavy dose of
fresh bovine tuberculous matter with
out injury I'VE are now convinced, y
saws the doctor, that bovine baeilli de-
stroyed by boiling for five minutes, or
simply heated for that period, will for
I'VE months. and even for longer time
TO which ii is not now possible to fix
limit. vaccinate perfectly against
virulent infection through the diges-
tive organs"
After explaining that detailed re-
mort Of the Investigations will shortly
he published, DR.. Calmette goes on;
I've think it will be possible to guard
children against natural infection by
giving 10 them few days after birth
and again a few weeks later, very
small quantity of tuberculosis bacilli
of human and bovine origin subjected
20 heat and mixed with little milk
The Frenchmen evidently believe they
have discovered something of immense
value. but the average layman will find
It hard to grasp their point. Just why
the use of dead bacilli should render

THE WATER SUPPLY.

Thanks to the unyielding determine
ton of the reform" council to donate
$4,000 to P. j. Moran for conduit Eek
tras the city has already begun to
experience a shortage of water. Tax
payers have been notified that, begin
hlng next week, they must sprinkle
their lawns for brief periods only. and
at specified times, or have their supply
cut off. The shortage is traceable di-
rectly TO the $4,000 gift to Moran 1t
was not accomplished until after six or
eight weeks had been expended in dis
cussing it. Meanwhile the work on the
Big Cottonwood conduit was suspended.
Had this work been permitted to pro-
coed, as il would have proceeded had
the council not been determined to line
the Moran purse at the expense of the
taxpayers. the conduit would have been
finished. the water would have been
running through it, and instead of a
shortage there would have been an
abundant supply for all qOmers. 1t will
not do for Mr.. Hines, superintendent of
the waterworks department, to say that
if everybody would use the water rea-
sonably the supply would be sufficient.
1t is undoubtedly true that there are
water hogs who do not care whether or
not anybody save themselves has a sup
ply of water. There are people who
open wide their faucets and their by
drants and permit the water to run all
night on their lawns and in their sinks
and wash basins. In the latter the
water is permitted to run so that cool
drink may be had at any time. The
Herald cannot say too much in con-
demnation of these people
The fact remains, however, that they
are only partly responsible for the wa
ter shortage. If the conduit had been
finished and it would have been fin
ished if the Morris administration had
been continued in control of city af-
fairs, there would be no talk of water
famine. The fact is incontrovertible.
II is clear TO every citizen who will
take the trouble to stop and think it
over.
The Herald has long believed and it
still believes, that the best method Of
handling the water question in Salt
Lake is to install meters. Let every
householder pay for exactly the amount
of water he uses, and no more. In that
way people who like to let the water
run on their lawns all night and in their
rouse faucets would be compelled to
pay for the privilege. And in that state
of case how long would they continue
the. practice?

IOiNT STATEHOOD.

In an interview with representative
of The Herald William NJ. Mayors, an
Arizona mining man, gives some excel
lent reasons why Arizona and New
Mexico should not come into the Union
as one state. Mr.. Mayors is quite sure
the people of Arizona will vote against
the proposition at the opportunity that
is TO be given them in the fall. With
such conditions as Mr. Mayors por-
trays, it will be surprising indeed if
most of the voters do not cast their
ballots against joint statehood.
The man from Arizona points out the
fact that New Mexico has a preponder-
ance of Mexicans and that, with the
Mexicans in Arizona, they would surely
control the politics of the new state
This Is a contamination that is decid-
eddy not to be desired. We might almost
as well admit to the United States
senate citizens of Mexico as citizens of
a state controlled absolutely by the
Mexicans. 1t has not been demonstrated
llldl lllC hCAlCdilo III lIllS COuHlEy dIC
very good citizens. They are, as rule,
treacherous, sulky and lazy. 1t would
be most CALLING to the white citizens of
Arizona TO be ruled by Mexicans.
This is not the only argument ad-
vanced by Mr.. Mayors against joint
statehood. He says, and truly, that
property in Arizona is much more valu-
able, in the aggregate than property in
New Mexico. The mines of the first
named territory have been developed
to a greater extent and much more
rapid progress is being made. The peo-
pie of Arizona would thus be compelled
to bear more than their just share OF
the tax burden while all the benefits,
or nearly all of them, would be reaped
by the New Mexicans. Taxation is
lower now in Arizona than in New
Mexico, but it would not be lower I'M
der joint statehood.
President Roosevelt, as the country
knows, is very anxious indeed to have
the joint statehood measure ratified.
He has written letters TO that effect to
citizens of Arizona and. if reports be
true, he is going to send to Arizona
during the fall speakers of national
reputation TO talk for joint statehood.
The Herald has said before, and it re-
peats, that Mr.. Roosevelt has no bust
ness meddling with this question. 1t is
one that concerns the people of the ter
ritories, and nobody else. There should
be no outside interference.
There is nothing fair or just in fore
ing upon Arizona that which it does not
want, and if we are correct in our judg-
ment of the people down there they will
manifest their resentment in manner
that nobody can mistake.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-07-27

human being proof against living
bacilli is difficult to understand. The
general introduction of the theory is
going to be rather hard, too. How
many mothers do you suppose could be
found in Salt Lake willing to let doc
tor feed one of their babies lot of
tuberculosis bacilli, dead or alive, from
a diseased COW or a diseased human
being, or both?
Doesn't it seem reasonable to suppose
that most mothers. especially if the
children have a first-rate family his
tory, would rather let them take their
own chances with tuberculosis?
