Leap Year &c Jaittee saA.itozs.

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. S.-Exas-
perated over having lost IN a contest
for the county printing simply be-
cause she was a woman, Miss Eliza
beth Soham, editor of the Storm Lake
Vidette, asserted her leap year pre-
rogatiye last week, and in her cur
rent issue makes the following pro-
posal:
ga constant fight for. what right
fully belongs to her is a wear and
tear on the nervous system of any
woman, and we have come to the be-
lief that in order to stay in newspaper
work and maintain our health we will
have to marry some good printer who
can do the fighting and swearing for
US.
''This is leap year, and this may be
considered as proposal by any one
who would be qualified to fill the va
cancy 50 evidentin the Vidette Office"
G. A. Craig, the bachelor editor of
the Lytton Star, believing that pro-
posal of marriage coming from such a
talented woman could not be turned
down, wrote an acceptance, and in
the last issue of his paper says:
''We believe we are igible to fill
the vacancy which Sister Soham feels
exists in her print shop. We're a
Missouri Democrat of forty years.
standing; considered smooth print
er; as to our fighting qualities. suffice
to say we come from family that
kills; on the swearing proposition our
press feeder says we would be there
with the goods, as we swear in sew
eral different languages at once when
things 60 wrong on press night.
''But before we would agree to take
up Lizzie's burdens she will have to
show credentials as to her eligibility
to the vacancy which we have known
existed for some time at our WlgWam.
'She must know how.to make pan
cakes, fry ham and eggs and make
good coffee; she must have the stay
ing qualities to chase dirty shirt up
and down a washboard until it be-
comes clean; she must know how to
darn socks and the gable end of our
trousers, etc. If the fair editress
feels like filling vacancy or a va
cancy being filled we stand ready to
close the deal.''
In her next issue of the Vidette,
Miss Soham will assure Editor Craig
of her ability to deliver the goods,
and all Iowa newspaperdom is pre-
pairing to extend congratulations to
two of the brightest members of the
fraternity.

The meeting was called for the
special purpose of taking some action
on the bids submitted for getting
water on the cemetery grounds. This
project has been under discussion
for at least one year and 1t appears
to be no nearer realization now than
1t was year ago. Just who Is to
blame for this condition the Tribune
Is not prepared to say. The ladies
OF the Forward Club assumed a part
OF the responsibility for raising funds
for the purpose of putting water on
the grounds and have now as much
money In their treasury for the pur-
pose as the city has. 1t naturally
follows that it is nothing more than
right and proper that they should be
consulted regarding the kind of sys-
tenn to be installed, yet it is reported
that the cemetery committee have in
timated that the city would put in
such a plant as the committee saw
mt. This condition of affairs has
caused some friction and has been
partially the cause of the delay. The
hrst plan was to install q pumping
plant at the river, at point about
500 feet from the cemetery grounds
and the pump was to have a lift of
$50 feet. The motive power was to
be a gasoline engine. But recently
1t has been found by running a level
that the city reservoir is II 2-1O feet
higher than the cemetery, conse-
quently 1t is the opinion of a large
number of citizens that the proper
thing for the council to do is to
connect direct with the reservoir and
thus have a system that will be per-
manent for all time. Owing to the
complications arising from the pro-
posed change from the pumping
plant to the reservoir plan, the coun-
Gil was not prepared to act in the

There has never been any evil

Vaccination and Doctors.

The article in last weeks Tribune
on vaccination is greatly and duly
appreciated by the Board of Health
The value of the statement lies in
a public admission by at least one
citizen that the principle of enforced
vaccination is right. We take no is
sue with the author on the plans and
details of vaccinating the public
that can be worked out by the pub
lie or Board of Health, or both.
The writer touched one tender
spot in every M. D. in existance by
the inference that is might be a
system of graft to have it done at
$1.00 per head. We take no offense
at that statement because of the fact
that If he or any number of citizens,
or any person have reason, either
real or imaginary, for thinking so
can find that such is not the case by
investigating the facts as they are.
We all recall certain sections
where vaccination is done for so
cents each or even as low in some
cases as rs cents. But If you care
to investigate, the prices paid for
most everything else are from rs to
500 lower than they are here.
A great many people have been
vaccinated from arm to arm, the
only instrument or material being
used was pen knife and pus from
a successful vaccination. This form
of vaccination cost the applicant
nothing, except a chance to inherit
with his vaccination any disease the
person might have had who gives
the pus to the victim.
l feel sure that but small per
cent of our people to-day would want
this method used on them.
The serum used in vaccination at
the present time is put up with as
rigid precautions as to asepsis as is
antitoxin, which practi-
cally no person to-day has any hesi-
fancy in using in d phtheria.
The Medical Profess on and Charity,
1t Is a well known fact that the
medical profession does more purely
charitable work each year than all
other sources combined. The medi-
cal men thruout the entire civilized
world are the only profession, bust
ness or trade, that continuously and
persistently combat the source from
which they derive their income-the
spread of disease. This statement
IAN also be verified upon investiga-
ion.
