Importance to Health,

The authorities who are fostering the
work point out that the effect on the
health of the communities is as important
as the money value Before swamp drain
age work was commenced on an extern
sive scale in Indiana, Illinois and Iowa
the mortality from malaria was 81 per
LOCO. Since then 1t has fallen to SO per
LOCO. On the other hand, where drainage
has not been extensively introduced, as
in Mississippi. Georgia and Florida. the
death rate from malaria has been prac-
tfcally stationary. 1t is estimated by the
department that there are 100000 acres
of swamp land along the Atlantic coast
that need to be reclaimed merely from a
sanitary standpoint, and that they can
thus be rendered not only habitable, but
healthful
The Investigations that have been made
Of the, swamp lands along the Mississippi
in the state of that name and in Lou
isiana indicate that if the swamp lands
there are reclaimed not only will the
health of the locality be UNNECESSARILY
improved, but there will be a much bet
ter chance of controlling the Mississippi
river, which now, in spite of the hun
dreds of millions of dollars that have
been spent on 1t. is in almost as bad con-
dition in the delta country as when the
work of controlling the river was first
commenced.

Democratic Prospects in the Uuited
States Senate.

Baltimore Sun.
The totally unexpected gain
by the Democratic party of u
Federal Senator in Maine has set
persons to speculating upon the
possibility of the control of the
Senate of the Senate OF the Six

cratic party. The natural argu--
ment is that if the party can
gain u Senator in Maine nothing
is impossible.
The United States Senate, when
all the 46 states are fully repre-
sented, consists of % Senator's.
In the present Congress SO OF
these Senator's are Republicans

The Farmers the F0rerunners OF Pc.
litlcal Insurgency.
Monroe Journal,


Monroe Journal,
In an article published in the
Outlook last week Senator Dolli-
yer, of Iowa, Insurgent Republi-
can, discussed "Thc Forward-( In
surgent) Movement in the Re-
publican Party" and frankly
states that the movement origl-
mated outside the party. The
farmers of the West started it, he
says, and continues;
"We are not yet up to the les
sons with which these farmers of
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
the states west of the Missouri
made the period from 1870 to
1880 memorable in the annals OF
national life. In their time they
were thought to be extremists
and fanatics; yet the opinions
which they espoused are no W
seen to be moderate and worthy
OF all acceptation."
But even more Interesting than
this statement, is Senator Dolli-
ver's remarks about how the last
tariff bill was made, the authors
of which, he said, "had treated
the Republican platform, defin-
ing the just measure of tariff
rates, as a practical joke on the
public.
But the public has called the
Joke, and everywhere either the
Democrats or the Insurgents are
