HEALTH IN THE PHILIPPINES.

DIR. Victor q. Heiser, director OF
health for the Philippine islands. has
submitted his report for the last quar-
ter of 1905 The report contains some
interesting statistics. 1t shows that in
spite of difficulties that seemed, at the
beginning, to be almost insuperable,
the health department has practically
eradicated diseases which for centuries
have been continuously present in the
islands in sporadic or epidemic form.
Asiatic cholera. smallpox. bubonic
plague and Ieprosy have been effectu-
ally checked and general health condi-
tions in the islands are reported to be
excellent
The hardest fight was against choi
era This, because of the ignorance of
the people. On that point DR.. Heiser
says: 1.-THE difficulty of combating
Asiatic cholera among people who. do
not believe in the germ theory of dis
ease can only be appreciated by those
who have tried it. the generally ac-
cepted idea being that the disease is of
divine origin or is caused by evil spir-
it's" The natives have even argued
that disinfection is of no avail in chol-
era epidemics, because the disease
comes from without instead of within.
Through the teachings of the native
physicians" DR.. Heiser continues, "and
the educated among the people, this
belief is gradually being supplanted by
the scientific concept" He then dis
cusses at some length the benefits that
have been derived from vaccination as
a preventive of smallpox. Vaccination
has been pretty thoroughly practiced
in the islands. For example, in Cebu,
which has population of not far from
100000, almost all of the people have
been vaccinated. And the result has
been the determination of smallpox
there.
The work is carried on as systemat-
ically as possible. Every six months
the children who were born during the
preceding six months are vaccinated, as
well as any adults that escaped vac
cination on the previous round of the
inspectors. 1t is said that the Philip
pines are now free from smallpox for
the first time in 800 years. And to the
thorough vaccination methods this hap
Ply condition is attributed.
Time was when the Philippine islands
were regarded as among the most I'M
healthy places on the habitable globe.
1t is not claimed that they now possess
all the qualities of a health resort, but
it is certain that conditions have been
very greatly improved as a result of
American occupancy. But the same
thing happened in Cuba, and it has
happened wherever Americans have
had a free hand in the conduct of
health departments.

JEFFERSON AND THE PRESS.


While the anniversaries of Jefferson
day are still fresh, 1t is worth while
for a newspaper man, and for every
citizen as well, to recall that great
mans attitude toward the Fourth Es-
tate. Few things illustrate better his
absolute confidence in the ability of a
people to govern themselves; nothing
Is more characteristics of his whole po-
litfcal philosophy.
Many men in his day thought free
dom Of the press was Incompatible
with orderly government of any kind.
Distrusting the masses, as Hamilton
did, and as many others of the time did,
there was a disposition TO restrict the
liberty of publication with perhaps less
rigor than was customary in CONT
mental countries, but still with Wig
orous limitation of written speech. JEFF
ferson fought for the right of men to
say or print whatever of truth was in
them. and he did moro than any other
man in the formative period of the ma
tion to establish the principle for
which he fought As he put it. ''the
laws have thought it less mischievous
TO give greater scope to its freedom (of
the press) than to the restraint of it,"
In another place he wrote: LAS to
myself, conscious that there was not
truth on earth which 1 feared should
be known, have lent myself to the
subject of a great experiment which
was to prove that an administration,
conducting itself with integrity and
common understanding. cannot be bat
tered down even by the falsehood of
licentious press. and consequently, still
less by the press as restrained within
the legal and wholesome limits of truth.
The experiment was waiting for the
world to demonstrate the falsehood of
the pretext that freedom of the press
IS incompatible with orderly govern
ment."
Jefferson believed in restraining the
press as to truth, but his democracy
was founded on such unlimited faith
in the capacity Of men to govern them
selves that he was willing to risk the
evils of license rather than suffer the
greater evil of an autocratic censor
ship. The man who wished to abolish
slavery, who did abolish the laws Of
entail and primogeniture, who gave the
country its decimal currency system,
founded the University of Virginia and
wrote the Declaration of Independence,
was also the man who helped make
free press possible in America
In these later days there are still
men who would restrict the liberty of
the press. Pennypacker of Pennsylya-
MIA was one, and the law he secured in
his state served only to prove that the
people are unwilling to hamper the
right of publication by any limitations
except the responsibility which at
taches to any utterance, public or pri-
vate. regarding injury to innocent per-
sons either in reputation or property.
AS with every liberty given to man,
the freedom OF the press is abused by
the ignorant and vicious; but Jeffer-
sons belief in the result of his theory
has been demonstrated over and over
again. Few fear the press save the.
guilty; fewer would restrict it except
those who wish the protection of con-
cealment. No power on earth is so
great as the power of publicity; and
none.is so little abused by the men to
whom it is entrusted.

ness for Play.
LINEUP OF THE TEAMS.

Anderson, Ind, March 25.-Informa
ton received by Secretary Dave Dur
bin from the four cities comprising the
post-season polo league indicates that
much interest is being manifested in
the coming games by both the general
public and the players. All the men
on the various teams have reported
at their respective places and are
ready for the contests which open the
season tonight in this city and at Lo-
gansport.
The Anderson players headed by
Fred Jean, arrived Sunday, flushed
with the success of having second
place in the Interstate league with the
Canton, o., team.
A message was also received from
William Horlick of Racine, Wis, stat
ing that the Horlick cup had been
shipped to Secretary Durbin. This
beautiful trophy has been contested
for and won by the teams in the Wes-
tern polo league for the last three
years. Elwood, Richmond and Marion
teams have each had the honor of
holding the prize. The cup will be
placed on exhibition in the cities of
the league and will, no doubt, add
much interest to the games
The advance sale of seats for to-
nights game in this city is very en-
couraging and indicates that the sea
son will open with all the enthusiasm
that characterized the sport a few
years ago. The lineup is as follows:
Anderson.-Miller first rush; Rob-
erts. second rush; Jean, center; Nc.
Grath, half back; Mallory. goal
Marion-Lewis. first rush; Hawkins

Traction Freight Situation To
Be Considered by City
Fathers Tonight.
MAY PASS THE FRANCHISE.
IN SUCH CASE THE MATTER WILL
BE PUT SQUARELY UP TO THE
coMPANY-coUNc WAS IN
ERROR.

There will be a special meeting of
the city council this evening at which
the ordinance committee will report on
a franchise ordinance for the Indian
apolis, Columbus & Eastern Traction
company. 1t was stated Saturday.
that there would be no meeting be-
cause the traction officials had refus-
ed to accept a franchise which would
compel it to run freight car line on
North Twenty-third street.
After the announcement had been
meeting, it was discovered that there
was motion on the council records,
which was passed at the last regular
council meeting. ordering a special
meeting. This makes it necessary that
the meeting be held.
Ordinance May Be Passed.
The ordinance that will be report
ed by the ordinance committee will
specify that the company in operating
freight cars through the city. must use
the following route: North Fifth street
thence east along North ID street. Ft.
Wayne avenue and North E. street to
North Twenty-third street, thence
south to Main street. This ordinance
will in all probability be passed by
council and the traction problem will
be placed squarely before the traction
company. 1t will mean that the In
dianapolis, Columbus & Eastern Trae-
ton company must accept the terms of
the city, or forever abandon any plan
of operating freight cars through this
city. 1t is also probable that council
will rescind the ordinance passed at
the last meeting which suspended for
one months time the enforcement of
the ordinance prohibiting the opera
tion of freight cars on Main street.
Council Was in Error.
Councilmen have discovered that
their act in suspending the enforce
ment of the Main street freight car or
dinance was a most unpopular move
and they viii hasten to cover up their
error. If they neglect to do SO Mayor
Schfllinger will place his veto on the
ordinance.

Ex-President Says There Is
DeIirium in Attitude To-
ward Railroads.
SUPERVISION is NEEDED.
1T SHOULD BE PLANNED IN A
QUIET HOUR AND NOT IN ONE
OF ANGRY EXCITEMENT, HE
SAYS.

Princeton, n. j., March 25.-Ruddy
of cheek, bright of eye, elastic of step
ex-President Grover Cleveland return
ed Friday evening from his shooting
trip in the South. He found awaiting
him many hundreds of letters and tel
egrams and other tokens of felicitation
on his seventeen birthday. They
came from all parts of the country and
from all sorts of people, furnishing an
index, which is believed to have sur
prised the eX-president, of the depth
of the regard in which he is held in
the hearts of his countrymn and of
the spontaneity with which, in the last
week, this regard has expressed itself
throughout the breadth of the land.
Mr.. Cleveland discussed the pecul-
lar situation in which both the great
political parties find themselves. He
has keen realization of the truth that
a political party implies a political
policy. and that a political organiza-
tion without a policy for the advocacy
of which it exists is in no proper sense
pears to be conscious of the political
anarchy of the day, and solicitous that
some line of political recrystallization
be found
He is not, however, of the opinion
that impulsive denunciation of evils,
without true perception of their
cause or without a remedy grounded
on broad principles, forms policy
upon which a patriotic party can ask
support. Denunciation is easy-and
dangerous. A political party. he holds
is bound to propose a constructive
program founded on principles
There is Much of DeIriun.
There is much of the nature of de-
lirium," said Mr.. Cleveland. in the
popular oHtcry against railroad corpor-
ations, for instance. We Shall all be
ashamed of it by and by l dare say I
have some reason to know of the real
of corporations. and [ do
know them. but there is much that is
not only groundless but wrong in the
offhand attacks made on the railroads
by thoughtless people on all hands.
What is well founded in them viii be
cured. but the craze of denunciation
will soon pass. We shall reflect that
railroads are vitally related to our
and that to attack them
needlessly is to attack ourselves. 1t
is not the stock of soulless million
aires, but the property of citizens, of
widows and orphans, whose savings
are invested in railroads. that is being
damaged. We shall recall what rail
roads have been and are still TO be in
the development of our country. and
this craze Will pass.
sOf course there must be some
form of governmental supervision. but
t should be planned in quiet hour,
not in one of angry excitement
