AN OPERATION FOR BLINDNESS

AN OPERATION FOR BLINDNESS.
 Because blindness IS due to a va riety of specific ailments, hope for a general restoration of sight to those who are thus afflicted is probably not to be encouraged by heroic operation which a Philadelphia specialist has performed :an operation said to be the first where vision has been given
Arizona republican., 1908-06-06

a person blind from birth. Neverthe-
 less the achievement, as briefly de-
 scribed. seems to be of kind that may be duplicated where like conditions ex- ' ist at the seat O. the affliction. The fortunate subject of the operation was a boy in his teens, and the account
 states that, the optic nerves being un-
 covered, a soft growth was revealed
 at the point where the nerves connect
 with the brain. This was removed;
 so that for the first time in his life,
 the boy realized through his ocular sense that there was light in the world. Precisely what this operation effected and the exact nature of the trouble
 the trained oculist may understand; as also the delicacy and difficulty of the performance, which, from the de- .scription, seems simple enough.

CRIMES AGAINST THE BALLOT.

CRIMES AGAINST THE BALLOT.
 Whether or not any of those charged are actually guilty of corrupt practices in campaign times is vet to be determined, but the trials of those election cases. so far as they have gone. are beneficial in one way though they may not result in such a purifi- cation of politics as many excellent citizens have believed was needed.
 For years the defendants in these cases have been accused of unlawful ly influencing voters and of procuring the votes of persons not entitled to the franchise. So much has been heard of these accusations that long ago they were accepted as true by a large num- Der of persons who pretended to have no information of their own of the truth of them and who did not look into the source of the accusations.
 People who do not take a lively in- terest in politics have a general under standing that the game is more likely than not to be sinful and corrupt.
 There is. no doubt, a great deal of crooked work going on all over the country about election time, but We do not think there is nearly so much as the average citizen imagines. Ameri- can political practices while bad enough, might be worse, and still be better than the practices which pre- vail in most other countries.
 There is hardly a closely contested election anywhere in this country which does not end in a cry of fraud and corruption. This cry is naturally raised by the beaten side or faction. If the other side were the loser it would be the crier. Then follows a great deal of loose newspaper talk on the subject, sometimes inspired by partisan spite and some times only by a desire for sensationalism. Thus the average citizen comes to believe that fraud and corruption are asso- clated with the polls everywhere.
 So to what extent criminal practices prevail can only be guessed at. If we sufficiently discount the charges of disappointed politicians We may find the volume of crime at elections sur prisingly small, thanks to the laws, for the polls are more securely safe guarded year by year.
 Yet. there are no doubt, now ana then. violations of the law which can not always be punished. Such viola tions might be generally prevented if all good citizens took that active which is generally confined to the few

SETTLING THE CONTESTS.


 The Taft forces scored yesterday in the decisions of the first contests pre- sented to the national committee These contests were not understood to be very well established and in the absence of any division in the commit tee it may be assumed that they were decided upon their merits and not by reason of any partiality toward Secre- tary Taft
 The result of the state conts-t in Florida will be awaited with greater interest for in that contest tlg anti Taft delegates are backed by some ap- pearance of regularity.
 Should it be also decided iu favor ul the Taft delegates it may then begin to be supposed that the national com mittee is Taft committee and that all the contests in the south and hopelessly democratic states will go the same way.
 But in the republican and doubtful states it is pretty certain that care will be taken to settle all contests strictly on their merits.
 These decisions are theoretically not final, but if enough of them are of the same kind they will have the full ef- feet of finality
 At any rate, within a day or two we will know whether the claim of MT. Tafts manager, that he will be nomi- mated on the first ballot was well founded.

in very bad condition, sea of mud
preventing classy race, but Rex's

was surprisingly good, conditions con-

will make name this season. Her
performance last Friday was good
start, to put it very mildly. She will
beat 2:12 before the season is over, if
she maintains her present clip.
