yards of Mrs. Hatheld's home, but no
one knew of it until about 80 minutes
after the accident when she came to
herself and walked to the house. Mr..
Hatfield was at work in the field. A

years. He was educated for his
profession at the Cincinnati law
school, graduating in the class OF
1882, since which time he has con.

He was the first municipal Judge
of Tacoma upon it becoming a city
of the first class; afterwards be.
came its legal advisor as corpora.

as judge of the superior court for

There has been no member OF

This oath has been subscribed to
more than $4,000 times in the past
few weeks at the Spokane registra-
ton Office in the city hall, as each
voter signs the registration books
in duplicate. The oath gives in
brief the necessary qualifications
for suffrage in the state and an
swers a great many questions that
will be asked between this time
and the close of registration for the
national election in November The
opportunity to register for the pri-
maries next Tuesday will close Sat
urday night at o'clock.
For the fall election the registra-
ton books will be kept open until
October 10. After this week the
registration Office, now on the first
floor of the city hall will be moved
back to City Clerk Fleming's Office
on the third floor 1t will be the
long climb over again for those not
yet registered.
The registration oath has proved
a stumbling block for many, mostly
newcomers in the state, who were
led to believe that they had a vote
in the coming primaries, Many new
residents, who came here with the
immigration last fall, have called
at the registration Office and learn
ed that while they will have vote
in the presidential election they
have no voice in the primary, not
having lived here long enough on
the primary date.
The educational test has also
barred a proportion of the floating
foreign population, who have be-
come interested in the candidates
cards so freely displayed in the
various saloons, from taking any
part in next Tuesdays balloting.
Many free drinks have doubtless
been lost in consequence.

BABE OF PRECIOUS SIGHT

Editors oNte-Probably the
most pathetic incident in modern
life is the blind baby. Our sad
dest institution is the school for
blind children. And yet, as Prof,
G. w. Jones points out in the fol
lowing exclusive article for this
newspaper, the blindness of at
least a third of these children is
absolutely unnecessary--a crime
against the child and against civil
lization. A simple, well known pre-.
ventive at birth will save the eyes
of thousands of children.)

interior part of the eyeball. The
inflammation is accompanied by
great pain and severe swelling of
the affected parts. Pus which is
very contagious is discharged free
ly. Adhesion of the eyelids and
eyeball and liberation of the cornea
and even perforation may soon fol
low. If prompt attention is given
by competent physician before
the cornea is involved the eyes
may be saved, but neglect or de
lay means certain destruction OF
sight.
The remedy in the first stages OF
the disease and preventive meas
ures are simple and easily admin
istered
The literature on the subject is
large and text books call attention
to the danger and point out the
remedy. 1t is universally regard
ed as an easily preventable ant
durable disease.
Notwithstanding this, a large
number of babies are blinded
every year, as the admissions tt
the schools for the blind in 1907
forcibly demonstrates. The per
centage of admissions of those los
ing sight at birth follows:
Illinois, 20 per cent; Ohio, 81
per cent; New York (state), 80 pc
cent; Pennsylvania (Overbrook)
33 per cent; Massachusetts, AZ pc
cent. More than 81 per cent o
the children admitted into these
schools last year are victims of thil
preventable scourage. Last yea
was not an exceptional one, fo
former years show even a greate
percentage.
The Importance of this subjec
must at least be brought to tn,
attention of nurses, midwives ant
physicians.
The American Medical associa
ton has been working on thu
subject, and it will no doubt pre-
sent plan soon by which the
number Of children needlessly
blinded by this disease will be
greatly reduced.
