GAzETTE'S WORDS OF WISDOM
Points Out Danger of Employing
Diseased Indians In
Household.

disease more certain in its terrible
results than any other known to this
locality seems to be spreading among
the Indians of western Nevada. 1t is
trachoma, malady that thus far has
been confined to the redskins, but it is
possible to transmit it to the whites
There seems to be no remedy for the
disease, the ultimate result of which is
total blindness. Trachoma is commu-
nicabe. It's first symptom is pain in
the eyeballs, which grow bloodshot.
The pupils then contract and sight is
lost.
In order to avoid any possibility of
contagion while the disease exists, the
Indians should be kept at distance.
Those who live in tribal relation should
not be employed as domestlcs, unless
they have been examined by physi-
clan and found to be free of the malady.
Superintendent Creel of the Pyramid
Indian reservation warns against en-
ploying squaws to do the family wash
ing, as by this means the disease Is cas-
lily communicable, through infection If
handkerchiefs.
Trachoma Is not new disease, but
seems to be on the increase among the
Indians, and If it should be communica-
ted to the whites it might be extremely
difficult to curb. Gazette.

Direct Primary Law Upheld.

Tte Direct Primary Law passed by
the Legislature year ago was declared
to be constitutional by Judge Langan
recently in sustaining demurrer in
an action brought to test the provis-
Ions of the new law.
The District Court denied the petit
ton to declare the Act unconstitu-
tional, and In sustaining the demurrer
Judge Langan said;
~ have no other course to pursue
than to sustain the demurrer. All
Acts of the Legislature are the su-
preme will of the people and are
valid and constitutional until declared
invalid and unconstitutional by the
Court, and the presumption Of law is
always in favor of the Act until it is
declared unconstitutional and 10 good.
sufficient or cogent reason why
should overrule the demurrer having
been presented to M, the demurrer
interposed by the Attorney General
on behalf of Mr.. Douglass is sustained,
thereby sustaining, in the judgment of
this Court, the censtitutionality of that
Act known as the Direct Primary Act. /"
II is understood that the case will
be Immediately appealed to the Supreme
Court of the State for final decision.

Reclamation Bond Issue Passes Senate

The Administration conservation bill,
prepared originally by Secretary Bal
linger, and passed by the Senate, pro-
viding that the United States shall is
sue $50, 900, 900 in 3 per cent bonds for
the reclamation of arid lands, may meet
a summary fate in the House. 1t is
contended by members of the House
that this is revenue-producing meas
ure, and that such legislature can origi-
nate only in the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House.
Representative Mondell of Wyoming
introduced practically the same thing
in the House about the same time it
was introduced in the Senate, and the
bill was referred to the Ways and
Means Committee.

THE FAMOUS LAKE CHICOTn ON
THE MISSISSIPPI.

Going mp the river from Greeenville,
Mississippi, the traveller skirts a great
bend of the Father of Waters. and at
Luna Landing enters the southeast sec
tiOn of Arkansas. Tt was late in the
evening when 7 entered the city, and
that rile in the glow of the sunset viii
never be forgotten The great river
sweeping toward the Gulf dimpled with
eddics and currents; it's banks were
lined with fishermen. its surface dotted
with launches and house boats. and
here and there might be heard the
splaShing of a stemwheeler, pushing n
raft up river. Tn n drive across the
country from Luna Landing were en-
countered the 'Fblind mosquitOes,' So
called because, less pestiferous than
their eastern cousins, they do not sting
On either side rose the great levees,
with Flevpe camps Of laborers who
keep them in repair, and everywhere
the Bermuda grass, growing thick and
long, down to the very banks of the
river, gave the camps an emerald hue.
Very beautiful are the vistas of Lake
Chicot, which is more than half mile
wide; describing perfect crescent, its
waters Law in the form of horseshoe
and this is considered the certain insig-
MIA of good luck. Lake Village, n
charming resort, stands just at the top
of this lovely arch of water, and the
drives along the banks of the lake are
certainly inspiring. Farther back
than the memory of living men, Lake
Chicot was part of the Mississippi
river bend, but in evolving its mean
dering, erratic movements the Missis-
sippi cut a shorter channel and left the
bend an inland lake, navigable by
boats which prove very useful in trans
porting cotton from the adjacent plan
tations
In the court house, although the hour
was late, some of the good citizens, in
cluding planters from twenty five miles
away, were assembled to give welcome
to travelling editor There was a
hospitality, a genial wholesomeness
that never can be forgotten. The
court house, with its stately columns
bordering on the lake, the busy streets,
the wide stretches of greensward and

the picturesque buildings of the old
plantations beyond the lake, with here
and there the smOkcstack of a cotton
gin, bore witness to the beauty and re
sources of the county, and dispelled all
doubts as to the fulfllment of the pre-
diction that this point must become
one of the popular resorts of the South.
Arrangements are being made to build
a hotel to- accommodate large number
of guests. for the citizens Of this dis
trict understand perfectly that in the

attended him, who soon pronounced
his case hopeless. A dozen or more
of Ben's friends, among them Hymen,
were standing around the bed just be-
fore Ben's spirit took its flight from
earth, when Ben uttered long groan
and said: "Oh. Lord, have mercy on

One of the most interesting reports
at the recent meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis was that
Of the executive secretary, DR.. Liv-
lngston Farrand, showing the growth
of the anti-tuberculosis movement
since May l, 1909 The number of as
sociations for the prevention of con-
sumption has increased from 290 to
over 425; the number of sanatoria and
hospitals for the treatment of tuber-
culosis is from 29S to 400; and the
special tuberculosis dispensaries from
222 to 265. During the year 1909,
thirty-siX out of forty-three legislatures
In session considered the subject of tn
berculosis, and in 2S, bills were passed
Tor the prevention or treatment OF this
disease. Since the opening of the
Legislative season of 1910, out of ten
legislatures In session up 10 May l, all
have considered the subject of tuber.
culosis and every one of them has
enacted some law that bears on this
subject
