are in direct disagreement as regards
the income tax urged by the Iowa SEN

favored by the president. And viewing

taken as the word of a true statesman

income tax over the suggestion made
by the president is still further
strengthened by Aldrich's assertion in
the open senate that the corporation
tax is mere subterfuge intended to
beat the income tax and that were the

be repealed within two years. Senator
Aldrich said:

Every year, commencing from one to
three months in advance of Independ-

loquacity takes up the issue of a sane
Fourth and the changes are rung in
cessantly. The gabfest reaches its
height when the pandemonium and
carnage are in full blast, and begins to
subside a few days after the hospitals,
the coroners and the undertakes have
made their final reports.
Americans have genius for chewing
the rag about what ought TO be
done" Ever since we can remember
there has been talk about transform
ing a boisterous Fourth of July into
one essentially lady-ike. Solemn-vis-
aged police officials give warning
against premature celebrations and ere
the ink is dry on the proclamation the
report comes in that a toy cannon has

The fact is the people are agitation-
hardened. Until their own fingers are

A PUZZLE IN LEP|'ROSY
Eleven Persons From Molokal
Free From the Disease.

Z
Is leprosy. after all, curable or have
men and women and children, too,
with no ,taint of the disease in their
veins been sent in the past to lifelong
exile at the Molokai leper settlement
In the Hawaiian Islands?
These questions have been raised by
the outcome of the denomination of
eleven persons, each Of whom had in
the past been declared leper and had
spent from two toftwenty years in the
settlement. The denominations We're
made by the most eminent patholo-
gists and psychologists in the islands.
One Of them was Dr. Walter Brincker-
the surgeon general of the United
States three years ago to study the
disease and If possible to discover a
cure.
Nineteen more persons from the set
Element are to be brought to Honolulu
to be re-examined to determine wheth-
er they are now lepers.
These denominations were made
owing to a visit to the settlement of a
committee Of the legislature of Ha-
wall when last in session. This COM
mittee found several people there who
showed outward signs of the dis
ease, and most Of them insisted that
they were not lepers. After this visit
Senator Frank Harvey introduced a
Joint resolution requesting the board
of health to bring some thirty persons
named in the resolution from the set
Element to Honolulu for the purpose Of
being re-examined by three physicians,
one to be chosen by the person him
self, another by the board of health
and the third by these two. The
board of health brought eleven of the
thirty to Honolulu, that being as many
as there were accommodations for at
one time at the leper receiving hos
pital at Kalihi, near Honolulu. The
other nineteen will be taken to Hon
olulu as fast as there is room for
them.
That every one of the first eleven
brought should be declared not leper
is considered remarkable, for, while
some Of them were sent to Molokai
years ago, before the meteorological
test was in use. several did not go
there until it had been adopted. They
therefore must have given evidence
under the microscope that their sys-
TENS contained the bacillus of leprosy.
Under re-exa imitation the microscope
fails to reveal the presence Of the ba-
cillus.
This has given renewed hope that a
cure for the disease may yet be found
either by accident or by research. APP
parently since these eleven went to
the settlement there has been some
thing either in their treatment or in

Of the bacillus and toaexpel It. finally
from the system or else nature herself
has arrested the disease. = u
On the other hand, there are among
the physicians Of the territory some
who believe that these persons are not
really free from leprosy; that the dis
ease still turks in their tissue, possibly
to break out again. This opinion is
based on the mysterious and elusive
character Of the disease which has
bafied science. Not only has It found
no cure, but 1t cannot even describe
the character and progress Of the dis
ease SO as to fit all cases. It's claimed
that even among these eleven persons
there are some who still bear the ap-
pearance of lepers, an appearance
which it is impossible to describe, but
which is easily recognizable by those
who have had much to do with lepers.
However, as all eleven Of these per-
sons stood the meteorological test,
which is now considered infallible, all
Of them have been released. They
will be kept under an unobtrusive sur
veillance to meet the possibility that
the disease may again develop in them.
1t seems, however. hardly likely that
1t will, especially in view Of the fact
that Of seventeen released from the
settlement in 1902 on similar exam
nation none of them has ever devel-
oped evidences of the disease.
OF the eleven persons released ten
were Hawaiian men and boys and one
was Portuguese woman. 1t is one
of the strange contradictions Of human
habit and temperament that Of these
eleven released from lifelong exile
eight have already petitioned the board
of health to be allowed to return to
the settlement and live. Familiarity
with the disease has so hardened them
to it's horrors that they seem no longer
to have any fear Of 1t, and the COM
Portable, easy life led there by the
