did not notice it. We are still laboring
under the impression that the public
looks upon the Prohibition party through
the same old eyes of scorn and contempt
and distrust The fact is that large
part of that is already gone and the rest
of it is fast going. The public-the
moral public and the churches in par
ticular, but to a considerable extent the
general public" too-look up to us as
the people who saw the dawn before it
came. To an astonishing extent they
are ready and willing to concede Our
leadership in the movement-more
readily than most of us are to accept
the leadership
II. The day is past when we need to
disguise Our movement-to sugarcoat
our propaganda, so to speak Nine out
of every ten men whose consciences and
minds have been enough aroused that
they are willing to take any action upon
the saloon question are willing to come
all the way, straight over into our camp
My letters lead me to believe that
this is, to an astonishing extent true
even in the southern states, where some
of us have been almost ready to regard
the party's cause as hopeless.
III. The idea that impressed me
most was: How foolish it is not to
work all Our meetings
In the morning I spoke to much
larger audience in a finer church and
made, by the way, a much better speech.
| But there were no "Askers" there; no
attempt was made to get results, and,
save as sentiment may have been
strengthened, the whole effort went in
the air"
From now on I'm a convert to the
idea of manipulating Our crowds at
every meeting. They tell some great
stories of success in Detroit One of
| them was this:
Last Friday night party of Our men
boarded street car, going upon an err
rand of party business There were
thirteen men on the car None of our
fellows knew any of them. But in
few blocks ride the signatures of six
of the thirteen had been secured to the
Voters Pledge.
Our men insist that that can be done
every time-or better-when Prohibi-
tionists are willing to work.

An Eye Witness

The editor of The National Pyohibi-
ZIONIST last Sunday evening had an op-
portunity to see how the ASK Club"
plan works in the hands of enthusiasts
The occasion was a meeting in a lit
tie church in Detroit-not a big meet
ing nor important, just sort of after
thought to the afternoon rally of the
John Russell Union.
The audience was just the average
evening congregation of the average
small city church-a good many women
and children and not very large num-
Der of men,
The address was not pointedly Pro-
hibition party rgument-just a general
and rather mild discussion of the duty
of the Christian citizen in the situation
created by the liquor traffic.
So far as could be learned no special
discussion of the Prohibition question
had recently been heard in the church
1t was not in any way specially pre-
pared soil.
The speaker did not arrive until after
the service had commenced and did not
know that any Ask Club effort was
to be made and made no reference to it
in his address.
But at the conclusion of the meeting
little group of Prohibition workers,
with the Voters Pledge blanks in their
hands, began quietly to circulate among
the people. There was no effort to cor
rail- the crowd. There was no rush
Not few got away I'M" asked"
The thing was done so quietly that
| did not know what was going on, until
it was all over
But the result?
They showed me fifteen signed ASK
Club" pledges. Of all the signers, so
far as | could learn, only one was a
regular voter of the Prohibition ticket
1t taught me some things:
l. That the people are ready, far
more ready than had dreamed, to sign
a pledge that commits them, not only to
the Prohibition PRINCIPLES, but as 7Vell
to the Prohibition party.
A great change has come, so swiftly
and 60 silently that the cleverest of 11S

SHOULD MAKE REPORTS
DIRECT To THE COUNTY
|. HEALTH OFFICERS TOO
DR.. Robert Donald Recommends to State Health
Board That Contagious Diseases Be Re-
ported to County Officers.

stationery printed provided for this
purpose and that each county health
officer be required to keep a record
of all such cases reported to them.
The following is the section under
which these reports are required:
Section 249S, Code 1906.
Physicians to Report to State Board
Cases of Contagious Diseases.
Every practicing or licensed physi-
clan shall report Immediately to the
secretary of the State Board of Health
every case of Yellow Fever, Cholera,
dengue, smallpox or other virulent,
epidemic or contagious diseases that
occurs within his practice. unless the
State Board shall otherwise direct.
Any practicing or licensed physician
willfully failing to so report shall be
guilty of misdemeanor and, upon con-
viction, shall be punished as provided
by law for misdemeanor.
Heretofore, this section has been
generally disregarded, except in cases
of extensive epidemics.
In addition to the suggestion to To-
calize this work as much as possible,
DR.. Robert Donald also suggests that
osteopaths be required to secure Ii
cense before they begin their practice.
There is a law that requires this, but
there is no penalty attached for failure
to comply with its provisions.
DR.. Robert Donald has made a study
of the best methods of promoting good
health conditions in counties since he
has been county health officer and he
feels sure that If contagious diseases
were reported direct to the county
health officers instead of taking the
roundabout way by the state board
it would be much better and give the
county health officers a much earlier
report. and they, in turn, would
promptly report to the state health Of
ficers. 1t should also be invited that
| physicians make their reports more
promptly In making these sugges-
tions, DR.. Donald has reference to the
public good Of the people of MISSISSIPPI
pi and 1t is more than probable that
the state board Of health will recog-
nize the wisdom thereof and make
some changes in the plans.

Dr. Robert Donald, the ever alert
county health officer of Forrest Coun-
ty, has written DR.. S. H. Mclean. sec

at Jackson, making some very wise
suggestions as to the manner best
adapted to the discovery and report
ing of contagious and infectious dis.
eases. Under the present plan such
cases are reported direct to the secre-
tary of the board at Jackson, when
they could be reached much quicker
by reporting them to the county health
officer direct. The doctor also sug-
gests that it would be wise to have

the bids be to opened at the regular
meeting of the council on October 5.
Police Justice Paul B, Johnson was
granted thirty days leave of abb
sence, and Judge ]. E. Davis was ap-
pointed to act as police justice protein
during the absence of Judge Johnson.
The council last night took up the
equalization of the personal assess
ment tax roll and acted upon a num-
Der of assessments, making raises in
some instances of double the amount
of the former assessments. The work
was tedious and promised to prove
long task, so an adjournment was
taken until this morning at o'clock,
when the council reconvened and com.
pleted the task.
At last nights session Mayor Pro
Tenn Gillespie presided in the absence
of Mayor Donald, but at the meeting
this morning Mayor Donald was pres
ent and in the chair.
Neither the Cumberland Telephone
Company case nor the conflict of au-
thority between Mayor Donald and
Chief of Police Pool were considered
by the council last night or this morn
ing.
