manner direct contact with the epers is

Among the few volunteers who have
made their life work the care and COM
fort of the unfortunate outcasts at
Molokai, and their aim the bettering of
conditions. one name stands out in bold
relief. One who was willing to sever all
family ties and who finally sacrificed his
life to the cause, who labored on year
after year, never faltering-Father Da-
mien de Venster-known as Father Da-
mien"- a resident of Louvain, Belgium.
Almost sixty years ago Father Damien
came to the settlement to find conditions
almost indescribably bad 1t was as
though the well known inscription over
the Inferno, described by Dante "All hope
abandon we who enter here was indeli-
bly, inscribed on the precipitous cliffs sur
rounding the home of unfortunates and
preventing their escape by land. while
the pitiless sea beat fiercely over the
rocks on the beach, apparently mock1ng
the desires of these victims of hopeless
and insidious malady to return to the
place of their birth. To a less courageous
character, conditions were almost hope
less, the people were living or existing in
a sort of helpless despair, and had sunk
into all sorts of degradation The fruits
of Father Damien's labors can be seen
today His versatility stood him in good
stead-he was ever ready to assist as
carpenter, doctor, priest or friend.
Joseph Dutton. civil war veteran,
was for some time at the Convent of the
Redemptionists in New Orleans, and while
there he first read of the devotion of
Father Damien for the Improvement of
conditions at the leper colony. He be-

The train will be a White House on

very properly voted the President So, 600
for travelling expenses, in addition to his
salary of $4,000, the nation and not the
railways will be paying for the presi-
dental quarters, just as though it were
the Executive Mansion in Washington.
Yet it is not true to state that Mr..
Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt were the first
Presidents who did not have to pay their
own travelling expenses. Their predeces-
sors did not pay their own travel bills
The transportation companies dead

Every modern mode of travel except the
airship will be employed by the Presi-
dent in the course of this tour. He will
start from Beverly by automobile swing
around from Boston to the Pacific and
back to st. Louis by train, sail from st.
Louis to New Orleans by boat and re-
turn up the homestretch behind the iron
horse. The first twenty-four hours of
the rail route will be without scheduled
speech or stop and Chicago will claim
him before he makes his first public ap-
pearance.
The next morning will find him in Wis
consin, the hotbed of the insurgents coun-
try and the camping ground of La Fol-
lette, the little Aguina1do Of the insursent
forces. Then there will be loop UP into

watchdog of the Treasury who stood
loyal during the recent .insurrection of
the western progressives.
President Roosevelt once declined to
put Winona on his itinerary, but found
his train mysteriously disabled at this
point, where throng persuaded him to
speak. 1t is believed that the same
hoodoo would overtake the Taft special
at this station if it were not listed to
stop there. After the President has
given Representative Tawney a certifs-
cate of political merit his special will
dart down into the contiguous insurgent
stronghold of Iowa, where the chieftains
Dolliyer and Cummns will have their de-
fiant banners unfurled to the early au
tumn breezes.
Then Nebraska will be crossed on
the seventh day out, and while he is
in this disloyal territory Mr.. Taft will
apply all of his genius to make good
his fame as the walking delegate of
peace and the peripatetic promoter of
pacifcation.
Some of the seven wonders of the
new world are now to be seen. On the
last summer day of the calendar the
Taft special will be climbing the Rock
les into Denver, where, after two
nights and a day have been spent at
delightfully."- high altitude. it will spin
down along the mountains past the
Garden of the Gods to Colorado Springs
and thence to Pueblo, up again to

There are unguestionable evidences In
support of the conta giousness of leprosy
In each case. however. the disease has
been very slowly developed. Father Da-
mien was a close observer for years
and was convinced of the fact. and him
self fell victim to the scOurge after hav-
ing lived among the afflicted ones.for sew
eral years without developing the dis
ease. Dr. Mouritz was of similar opin-
ion contrary to the teachings of the
Royal College of Physicians of England,
of which scientific and learned body he
was a member, his mind having been
made up by close observation abroad and
at KalaWao. The manner in which con-
tagion is communicated is however, a
mystery-that is, it cannot be as accurate
ly determined as in acute contagious
diseases; but when the blood becomes pol
soned by the virus, whether by inhalation
or actual contact, its development. al
though slow, is as certain and inexorable
as death itself But there is nothing
