A MILD PROTEST

An article, purporting to be a
criticism of the Denver News at
tacks on certain land transactions
in the Valley, was sent to that
paper Wednesday by committee
of the Monte Vista Business Men 8
Club The only material com.
plant is that, 1.-The News is a
great State paper and when people
get off of the Trans-Continental
Railroads running into Pueblo,
Colorado Springs and Denver and
see News with the general state
ment of fraud and corruption in
relation to parts of this Valley,
they apply it to the whole Valley,
and for that reason we would urge
the News to be more conservative
and mild in its statements.

DR.. Mccormack.

DR. Mccormack, who spoke before
the General Assembly on Frb. 5, on the
subject, Why and How Good Health
Should be Made More Contagious
than Sickness said in part:
The greatest asset of this nation,
or any other. is that represented IN
it's vigorous population, its healthy
children. women and men. Farms,
mines, forests, factories and similar
sources of industrial or commercial
" ealth have little value except rs there
is such q population to operate and
enjoy them. The annual drain upon
this asset and diseases now recognized
as preventable, and from vicious and
immoral living, IS estimated at one
third of the entire sick and death
rate The recognition Of this drain
and it's causes, and comparative
study of the results Of improved sanl-
tation in other countries and in some
sections OF this country, has SO I'M
pressed the political economists Of our
great universities that through the
proper section of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Science they have organized the
American Health League, with head
quarters at New Haven, Conn, already
with thousands Of members to arouse
and educate public sentiment IN re-
card to 1t.
Medical men and sanitarians have
long ago known tntIC SOOO AcottliA Nui1
and should be made more contagious
than sickness and, in direct conflict
with their own interests, have urged
the health reforms which would bring
this about, but in most States and
in the nation have been met by almost
constant indifference Or antagonlsm
from both legislative bodies and the
people This was partly because to
the laity medicine has always been
mystic, occult science, and still more
because it was until recent years
discordant profession. The dlscord
existed between the different schools
or systems of practice. and far more
between local physicians competing
for the same patronage, and It was
often unduly emphasized and even tos-
tered by the laity.
Fully One-third of those sick and
of those taken to your cemeteries
every year were sick and died OF dis
cases which ought never to have oc-
CURED. About one of every ten OF
your deaths are from consumption,
and you now have a large tubercular
reputation. Even yet it is believed
b.. many good people that this is an
Inherited disease, but all should be

| means. Suppose said the speaker,
that some morning you should pick
up your daily paper and read that
on the day previous, by some strange
fatality, every officer and man in the
United States Army and Navy had
been wiped out Of existence. Can you
imagine what q shock it would be 10
this country, and how our people
would rise up, and take measures to
prevent a. recurrence of such a ca
lamity. Yet every year an army great
er than the combined rosters of the
army and navy is killed by tubercu-
losis, and We sit supinely without
making an effort to stop this awful
slaughter.
But he said we are beginning
to be aroused, and in every State, and
in many of the cities, towns and viii
lagos, anti-tuberculosis leagues are be-
ing formed, and the people educated
as to the dangers Of the disease, and
the means to stop its spread"
Estimating the value of human
life at $4,000. tuberculosis costs this
country one billion dollars annually
for deaths alone, and if in addition
to this amount be added the loss of
the wage earning power the cost of
sickness, burials, etc, of those who die
of the disease, the total cost of tuber-
culosis TO this country every year will
easily exceed two billions of dollars.
and these deaths, and this enormous
cost is entirely unnecessary, because
tuberculosis is q preventable disease.
He said, I'VE know the cause: we
know how and why il spreads; we
know how to prevent it's spread, and
how to cure those who have the dis
ease, and it is these things that / am
here tonight to tell you.
Before going into these matters the
speaker said that he wished to pay q
deserved tribute to a citizen of this
state who should have the support of
every citizen in his efforts to eradi-
cate tuberculosis from North Carolina.
He referred to DR.. Ric hard II. Lewis,
Secretary of the State Board Of Health.
who is, he said, "a man with big
brain. d big heart, a splendid organ
izer and executive. and who, few
years ago. as president Of the Confer
ence Of the state and Provincial
Boards Of Health. presented to that
body 8 plan for the suppression OF
tuberculosis. applicable to every State,
but particularly drawn with reference
to North Carolina. and if this plan
should be carried out in this State, it
would put the knowledge of how to
prevent tuberculosis in every house

lest cabin. in the renIotest mountain

and soon, no doubt, 10 cents per

q GOOD many of us who refused to be
panic-stricken under the lash OF

reaches 10 cents and above in the near
future. those who have cotton can sell
it and take in their profits. There
has not been a single year since 1899
when spot cotton middliEg basis. could
not be sold for 10 cents per pound at
some time during each year; except
the period between September j, 1901,
and the same date in 1902. when the
highest price reached that year was
nine and tive-eighths cents per pound
Within that period of nine years mid
