Tho chiefs consider that they lost both power and dignity when the old samoan parliament was dispersed, and maintain that when Germany took over the islands she became their pro tector and nothing moro. Violence is not expected, but the chiefs will prob ably offer passive resistance to the German authorities.

APPOINTED A DELEGATE
Mr.. w. M. Hamilton of the Herald Is
Named AS a Delegate to Rep
resent Texas.

Mr.. W. M. Hamilton OF. the Herald
has been appointed a delegate, with
several others, to represent Texas at
the International Congress on Tuber-
culosis, which meets at Washington
D. c., Sept. q to Oct. u.
This is a most important congress
of representative medical, profess
sional, business and executive people
of the civilized world, and it is deal
ing with question that is of vast
Importance, not only to the United
States, but to the entire world. The
congress will not only deliberate on
and devise means of combating the
disease through scientific treatment,
but will recommend legislation for
the control of the disease. The con-
gresS will be a creator of public inter-
est in the prevention of the disease;
will be educative, in teaching people
to be sanitary and cautious One of
the: things that will be sought for the
several states will be the establish
ment of state sanitariums for the
treatment of the disease, and an eff
fort will also be made to have each
state legislate to control the cases
within its borders, and to prevent the
bringing into the states of outside
cases. Texas has especially suffered
from the practice of sending consump-
tive cases to the state, and this prac-
tice has helped to increase the spread
of the disease among the people of
Texas. tuberculosis is undoubtedly
an infectious disease, and is in some
cases susceptible to treatment. Thus
