to the public health. 1t is not that
the life of the individual may be saw
ed through vaccination, but that
through this treatment he may be-
come immune from the disease, or if
contracted, it may be in so attenuated
form as not to spread contagion
that will threaten the lives of the
community. Without vaccination a
few generations in the future the peo-
pie would find themselves face to face
with a such plague as caused the death
of half the population of Iceland,
and later reduced the Mandan Indians
from a tribe of 10000 to about 100.
Small pox is no respector of persons;
the rich and poor, the clean and un-
clean are alike subject to the disease
and the result is as often fatal with
the one as the other. The vaccina-
tion for small pox and the more re-
cent anti-toxins of the Fastener insti-
tute are among the greatest discov-
cries of the world, and no greater
blessing was ever granted to man
kind.

AS was expected, the machine or
gan, the Argus Leader, is claiming
that the responsibility for the reduc-
ed passenger rate belongs to ''stal-
wart" railroad commission. Had the
commission refused to order in the
new rate the Al. would have laid
the blame at the door of an insurgent
legislature. But had it not been for
the act of the legislature the commits
sion could not have made the order.
The disguise is too thin for any use
and the people of the state know that
whatever credit is due on account of
the reduction in passenger rates is
due to the insurgent Legislature, be
it good or bad.

In the fight between the attorney
general of Minnesota and the railroads
in that state, which took place before
Judge Lochran of the federal court,
both sides scored points. The attor
ney general, however, won on the
most important issue when the judge
decided that the Legislature had the
right to legislate and fix rates, and
did not Interfere with the interstate
commerce law. The judge dissap-
proved of the commodity rates and
declared that they were so low as to
be almost, if not quite, confscatory.
As to the two cent fare law, it was his
opinion that it was very nearly rea-
sonable rate. The point of interest
to the public is that the legislature is

THE machine organs are still harp
ing on that one string the raise in
state taxes. Not one of them is fair
enough in speaking of the raise to
mention the Il mills voted by the
people for twine plant at the peni-
tentiary. Deduct the II mills from
the state levy this year, for which the
administration is not responsible, and
you have three mill levy, which is
less than the average for five years
last past under machine rule.

AT Sioux Falls a peculiar conflict
has arised between the health officer
and the board of education. The
first issued an order to the effect that
all pupils attending the city schools
should be vaccinated. The board of
education ordered the teachers to adj
NIT to the schools all children wheth-
er vaccinated or not. The health of
ficer threatens to take the teachers
into court for not obeying the order.
1t seems there is considerable opposi-
tion to vaccination in certain quarters
and some of certain religious per-
suasion have entered into a newspaper
controversy in defense of violation
OF the order of health officer. That
the dread disease small pox has been
reduced in severity from one of the
worst plaques known to the human
race to disease that is now regard
ed as no worse than chicken pox or
some other ailment that carries with
it no fear of fatal results, is due en-
tirely to the discovery and use of the
vaccination process. That there is
any man, or set of men, who would
seriously oppose such a processes in
the face of the records is one of the
wonders of the times. The plea of
personal liberty does not apply. There
is no such thing as personal liberty
in civilized country when that lib
erty demanded becomes a menace

The railroad commission of this
state has ordered the p cent passen-

18th. The commission made their
decision and issued the order after
giving the railroads a hearing which
was adjourned from time to time to
give them every opportunity to pre-
sent their side of the matter, and after
the commission had made a special
trip to Chicago to do some investigat-
ing on their own account.
