acknowledging in full sympathy
with the people of the gulf coast in
their recent troubles and universities
wrought by the equinoctial storm of
Sept. 21, whereby damage was sustained
the cost of reparation of which will take
years for recovery from the effects, Gov.
Noel has officially communicated his
views on the subject recently agitated
through the mayor and council of Pass
Christian, and while giving expression
of his appreciation of their situation, is
not calculated to encourage hope for the
suggested measure of state aid.
Replying to the communication, and
following the arguments in the resolu-
tions, the governor intimated that the
resolutions would be given careful con-
sideration. In the course of his COM
munication sent out, Gov. Noel said:
"The delta counties constructed their
levees by local taxation of the lands
protected, with some aid from the fed
eral government, but with none from the
state government. The delta counties,
in addition to paying largely more than
100000 into the state treasury, in ex.
cess of all moneys refunded them for
taxes, pensions and all other purposes,
paid levee taxes also, and the levee tax
in the delta is as much or more than
all of the other state taxes combined
So far as l can recall, this state has
not contributed to the construction of
local improvements from the state treas
ury, at any time in the past"
The governor expresses entire sym
pathy with the people of the coast coun
ties for their loss through equinoctial
storms and the constantly recurring dan
ger from the same source. He suggests
that the federal government, which has
jurisdiction over navigable waters, and
had done comparatively little in the
way of protection of the Mississippi
coast, might be induced to extend aid
to protective construction against dam.
age from gulf waters.

Gets Warm Reception
In Houston.

Houston, Tex, Oct. 24.-President
Taft reached here Saturday morning
at 7:10. Breakfast was served on the
train and 1t was not until $3.50 that
the reception committee took hold of
the president for his two-hour whirl
about the city. Early as was the hour.
big crowds had gathered and the pres
ident received military salute and
was cheered heartily as he left the
train.
Proceeding to the Rice hotel, Mr..
Taft delivered an address from the
balcony before crowd of 10000 peo-
pie. One-third were school children
who passed in review before the pres
ident.
A motor ride about the city fol-
lowed, and, at 10:30 a. M, the party
lett for Dallas.
At Beeville, Mr.. Taft began his
speech by talking about Texas. Then
a voice in the crowd asked:
How about postal savings banks?
Are you in favor of them?"
The President said he was, and,
after he had explained why, the voice
cried:
where are you putting your money,
Bill?"
Il haven't much money to put" ex-
claimed the president. when you
nave been in politics as long as
have, you will understand there is
mighty little money to save"
Concluding his defense of the postal
bank, Mr.. Taft SAID:
81 hope that the banks will not con-
tinue their opposition to it. In other
countries they have postal savings
banks. In England they have such
banks, and they have not interfered
with banking there.
In Other Lands.
There are $6O0,00O,OOO deposited in
England. So 1t is in Austria and in
France, and it is also made apparent
from the statistics that the great ma.
1ority of depositors in those banks are
working men and minors-children-s
who are induced to put in ten cents,
twenty cents, dollar, and finally
their accounts grow so that they are
substantial"

Premier Katsura of Japan in an ad-
dress before club of bankers at
Tokyo outlined the policy of the gov
eminent in a manner which should al
lay the apprehensions of timorous
souls who see in every move in that
direction a threat of war with the
United States. The premier set forth
plans for developing the resources of
the empire and avoiding unnecessary
expenditure. This peaceful program
contained nothing to which objection
can be taken anywhere On the con-
trary, the plans deserve the warmest
approval. Japan has had enough OF
war for the present, and sees that her
highest interests will be served
by promoting prosperity at home
and Strengthening friendly relations
abroad.

CAUSES OF TYPHOID.

Autumnal typhoid still has way Of
appearing at customary seasons in
well nigh every region of the country.
The health authorities in New York
find 1t this year rather worse than
usual. 1t appears in the dwellings Of
the well-to-do as freely as In the
shacks Of the poor. Sanitation does
not prevent 1t, that is, not what we
generally call sanitation. 1t is an in
testinal disease, conveyed by drink
or food. The old theories Of bad air.
sewer gas and damp houses have not
now much standing. 1t is feared
that some of the later theories do not
explain all the points about autumn
typhoid. The housefiy does not. The
condition of the water supply. as be-
Ing different in summer and winter,
does not. A plausible explanation is
that the profuse perspiration with
which in summer the body eliminates
a large amount Of disease breeding
matter, is reduced to a minimum al
most instantly when the cool days
begin. The kidneys and bowels. un-
accustomed to the task. are burdened
with dangerous materials and unable
to perform the task OF elimination. 1t
is at least common knowledge that
typhoid is most prevalent when the
cool weather sets in.
