Endorsed by Physicians.

Public health officers themselves are
well nigh unanimous in the opinion
that national health bureau would be
of great utility, and the medical pro-
fession has heartily and repeatedly in
dorsed the project.
Greater efficiency would at once re-
suit from merely the consolidation in
one bureau of the present public health
and marine hospital service, the divi-
sions of foods and drugs of the bu
reau of chemistry and OF all the other
present functions of the several ma
tional executive departments engaged
in work pertaining to human health
and sanitation. These health agencies
Of the national government are often
doing excellent work, but at every
hand they encounter obstacles to their
complete usefulness. 1t is as II the
unified concentrated activities of the
department of agriculture were scat
tered about among the treasury de-
partment, the department of the int
rior, the department of commerce and
la wherever, in fact, chance or the
mere stress of departmental business
might suggest a resting place for now
one, now another, branch of the gov
ernment's extensive agricultural work.
Attracting Wide Attention.
The situation calls loud for a rem
edy, and it is attracting at last wide
attention. The committee of one hun
dred organized by the American Asso-
citation For the Advancement of Sci
ence has taken up the subject with
energy and hopes to secure the backing
OF every organization in the United
States interested in public health.
Since the unqualified Endorsement
given by President Taft to the plan for
a national bureau of health, first for
by the committee, the members
of the committee have been encour-
aged to believe that congress will this
year establish their long desired bu-
reau.
Only one thing stands in the way Of
this measure, full of possibilities for
good to the American people-the fail
ure of the people themselves TO eyince

Vast Field Untouched.


Individual cities and separate states,
it is true, are doing much more to pro-
tect the health and lives of their citi-
zens than ever before. But there is a
vast field untouched by any to which
the national government should apply
itself
That the states have departments of
agriculture Of their own, agricultural
colleges. cattle inspection and meat
regulations is not considered cause for
the abandonment of the federal de-
partment of agriculture. AS President
Taft said in his first annual message
to congress:
The opportunities offered for useful re-
search and the spread of useful informa-
ton in regard to the cultivation of the
soil and the breeding OF stock and the
solution of many of the intricate prob
lens In progressive agriculture have dem
onstrated the wisdom Of establishing the
department of agriculture. Similar rea-
sons of equal force can be given for the
establishment of a bureau of health that
shall not only exercise the police turis-
diction of the federal government respect
ing quarantine, but which shall also af-
ford an opportunity for investigation and
research by competent experts into Ques-
lions of health affecting the whole coun-
try or important sections thereof. ques-
lions which in the absence of federal gov
ernmenta1 work are not likely to be
promptly solved.

The death rate in America might be

And what are we going to do about
it? The facts are cold and bare.
One million FIVE hundred thousand
persons must die in the United States

alent to 4,2OO, 900 persons will be con-
stantly sick; over 100000 homes, con-
sisting of 25,oOOo00 persons. viii be
made more or less wretched by NOR
tality and morbidity. OF the people
living today over 100000 will die of
tuberculosis, and the federal govern
ment does not raise a hand to help
them.
1t is not that the people of the Unit
ed States. with the machinery they
have established for their protection
and government. are not able to help
themselves. We can and do spend
thousands of dollars to stamp out
cholera from our pigs. But for the
alienation or cure of disease of our
hearts or kidneys, which will carry
off over 100000 of us, not thing do
we do to call to our aid the mighty
power OF our government
Hundreds OF thousands OF dollars are
expended by the department of agri-
culture in saving the lives of elm trees
from the attacks Of beetles. But
where is the department that will keep
from our babies the parasitic growths
that thrive in the milk they drink?
The department of agriculture warns
our farmers over the whole land
against the blights affecting potato
plants. But that the farmers them
selves and other human beings in the |
United States to the number Of $780, |
600 will perish OF pneumonia is ac-
cepted by us all with an oriental res

He arranged the meeting between them, but was not present when the agreement was reached. He told Nixon to use his own judgment. Never advised to either get out, but announced for the office when they did Jones asked if Nixon was sincere Nix on, Hunt said drew up the agreement. He denounced Nixon in no light lan- guage for violating his solemn pledge He declared that he would do any thing for his friends, but nothing in this world would make him break such pledge Nixon was not misled sideration, no alliances, no promises. Nixon took precautiOn to see that his judges were named, although he criti- cises others for similar action. Hunt declared that he was always for fair and honest elections in private as we'll as official life Nixon claimed to be his friend, but he embarrassed him after he had led him into the race. He classed Nixon as 'Bene- dict Arnold, and now that Nixon be- ing responsible for his getting into the race he would stay with him to the last ditch.

S20.OO0 ICE PLANT
 TO BE BUILT
Two Louisiana Ice Men Have Decid. ed to Erect a Twenty-To Plant
 In Stuttgart Soon.

Stuttgart is about to realize one o1 it's cherished hopes-the erection and operation of a good-sized ice plant The new concern asks nothing fo1 the privilege of doing business in this city, but the patronage of the people after they are in operation And as an evidence that they are very greatly interested in the advance ment of the town, $100 was subscrib- ed last night for the new railroad in the name of the Crystal Ice Con- pany.
 s. A. Spencer of Jennings, La, and A. A. Sheer of Crowley, La, have been in Stuttgart for the past few days with the view of erecting a Cotton ice plant.
 After interviewing some of the prominent business men of the city and looking the situation over care fully they stated to an Arkansawyer representative. last night, that they were very much impressed with the push and energy displayed by the citizens of the community and have decided to cast their lots with us.
 These men are practical ice men, owning and operating ice plants at both Jennings and Crowley, La. They propose to erect modern and up-to- date factory here and will invest about $20,000 in the enterprise. They left Stuttgart last night on No. 8 for Pine Bluff, where they will see the railroad people in reference to having side track put in to their factory. They will then go to len nings, where they have wired an agent of ice machinery to meet them. and a contract will be closed bv Monday of next week.
 These gentlemen assure us that heir factory will be erected and in operation by the first or middle of April. They will also operate cold storage rooms, which are much need 'd in this city.
 There can be no better evidence of he belief in the future growth and development of Stuttgart by out-sid- ITS than is shown by the location of his enterprise here. They ask no uilding site or bonus, but are in. esting their own money.-Stuttgart

 SETTER IS DEAD

MoHHUutH, III, Feb. 4.-'McKfn- ley" champion English setter in Am erica is dead. Affection of the heart caused his death. He had been un- der the care of physicians for several months and no expense was spared but to no avail. He was owned by Mark Yates and Charles Perley of this city.
 He was considered by experts to be the greatest English setter ever shown in America, winning all the bench and field prizes for which he competed.
