DEATH LIST IN 1903
tuberculosis Claimed 5000 Vic
tins During the Year.
KEPFORD'S MONTHLY REPORT
State Lecturer Says II Is Worse Than
Folly for Intelligent People to
Permit tuberculosis to De-
stroy Such Vast Number.

Des Moines, Feb. Estate Tuber-
culosis Lecturer A. E. Kepford has is
sued his regular monthly report touch
ing on the situation in this state.
He calls attention to the fact that
the dread disease is still reaping its
harvest In this state and that within
the past year 5000 persons have sue
cumbed to it, this being he says, a
conservative estimate. His letter fol-
lows:
The report of the state board OF
health concerning the number OF
deaths from tuberculosis is startling.
There were 1,5l5 persons reported to
have died from tuberculosis last year.
If 1915 were the whole number 1t
would be bad enough, but it is believ-
ed by those in position to know that
this number can be multiplied by two,
thus making more than 5000 persons
who died in Iowa last year from a
preventable disease. And it would be
interesting. indeed, were it possible
to make an analysis of these deaths.
We would find no age or condition
had been spared, and that while tu-
berculosis is disease of the poor,
yet the rich had not escaped. We
would find young mothers smitten in
the midst of cooling babyhood and
playing child; the wage Garner. the
man who does the heavy work has
been destroyed; the minister, lawyer.
doctor. banker. farmer, editor. in fact
every profession and trade has been
compelled to walk the great white way
to death. What awful havoci What
needless waste of human life! What
tragedy of sorrow! What a cause OF
crime! What problems for charity!
What financial loss!
If the economic aspect alone were
to be urged as a reason for the aboli-
tion of tuberculosis it would be suffi-
cient as the loss to Iowa last year
Appropriated more than S5,00O.000.
The large number Of these persons
who died were young. just at the high.
est point of efficiency and greatest
value to the state and the financial
loss involved is appalling indeed. This
disease reaps the largest harvest OF
all contagious and infectious diseases
put together with possibly the excep-
ton of pneumonia and We have come
to the time when the people must act.
1T is worse than folly for intelli
gent people such as compose the citi.
zenship of Iowa to permit tuberculos.
is to destroy untimely this vast num-
Der.

figures given here Let them think OF

Cannon the goat" is proving a not able failure. The party is no bet ter than it's leader in the house and the leader in the house is no better than his party. Both are tarred
 with tho same stick and 1t is the hands of the interests that have held the stick and applied the tar. The attempt to purify" the party by attacks of Cannon or Aldrich will not work for they are part and parcel of the party as the insur- gents admitted when they voted to retain Cannon as speaker after they had his scalp ready for the lifting. Taft himself has defended Cannon ism and Aldrichism and is defend. ins them every time he declares the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill is ''the best tariff legislation ever enacted" Put the blame where it belongs, on the party and not on the individual.
