Curing Leprosy,

Leprosy is one disease which in all
the ages has been considered incur
able. The ancients ostracized it's vic
tins who themselves repulsed inquir-
ing friends with the doleful cry Of
"Unclean, unclean," but the state of
Louisiana has demonstrated that this
is another delusion which must give
way under the test of science.
Louisiana maintains a home for lep-
ers and the last biennial report shows
seventy patients in the home, and 1t
may be of interest to note that only
fifteen of these are negroes. This is
of moment here because the claim has
been made that this and other scourges
in the south are often traceable to the
colored races whose irregular modes
of living invite disease.
Thus far Louisianas treatment of
leprosy is chiefly in the experimental
stage, but in the last two years the
home has dismissed one person as
positively cured. This of itself is all
the justification needed for the hy-
pothesis that restoration is possible.
Several in that same period have made
remarkable improvement and only nine
have died. The results certainly seem
to warrant the effort Louisiana is maxi
ing, for the benefits are not to be con-
fined to that home or that state; they
are worldwide in the influence and
will be handed down to posterity.
this home is already sending out dem
onstrations that have become valuable
for the study of the disease in other
parts Of the world where 1t is more
prevalent Facilities used in Louisi-
ana are being introduced elsewhere
and medical men are being attracted
to the study. What the results of this
awakening will be no man can tell.
The Louisiana scientists are most
hopeful. They believe that an anti
toxine serum will yet be discovered
that will defeat the terrors of a
plague that for thousands of years has
haunted mankind wherever it existed.
If this should be developed then its
application in India and other coun-
tries Of the far east where people die
in thousands from leprosy may be
made with practical results. The
world already owes a large debt to the
pioneer work Louisiana has begun.

The fire test of Mr.. Bryan's insurgency
is yet to come When a democratic con-
vention of Grover Cleveland postmasters
was sitting upon the young Mr.. Bryan
some sixteen years ago he said something
about serving his country under another
name" When machine methods were maxi
ing Judge Parker the democratic nominee
in 1904 Mr.. Bryan did some tall convention
insurging. Yet Mr. Bryan has never bolted
a democratic candidate. The worst demo
crat has always bobbed up as better than
the best republican. When the time comes
to choose between a county option or
initiative and referendum republican for
legislator or governor and a democratic
Representative OF the liquo~ interests"
then we shall know whether Mr. Bryan's
insurgency is more than tongue deep-Lin-
coin Journal
We regret to note this unkind treat
ment by the Lincoln Journal of the
distinguished citizen who is Lincoln's
most valuable commercial asset. When
The Bee recalled recently the fact that
Mr. Bryan had two years ago publicly
appealed to the people to vote for the
three senators from Douglas county,
whom he now reviles, knowing their
unsavory regulations then as well as
he knows now, be did not like it. Be-
cause these three disreputables hap
pened to be running as democratic
nominees on the same ticket with him
he went good for them and pleaded
with his friends to vote for the whole
democratic crew from top to bottom.
Some of these same members of the
Douglas delegation to the late demo-
cratic legislature may be renominated
this fall, and If so. will Mr.. Bryan bave
aught to say against them? Mr. Bryan
always wants the other fellow to ig-
more party lines, but proclaims it the
duty of every democrat to vote the
ticket straight

EXPRESS Company Charges.

The demand Of the National Manu-
faeturers' association for an investi-
cation of the rates of express COM
panies will be strongly supported by
popular sentiment. 1t is not only the
rates of express companies against
which the people have had occasion to
complain, but poor service as we'll. In
all the epidemic of Investigations these
corporations have escaped and their ex-
emption seems to have made them in
different to some of their obligations
But it will require a studious in
quiry to determine the fairness or un-
fairness OF these rates, On their face
they do not seem to be grossly wrong
1t is coincidental that the matter of the
long and short haul" enters into this
consideration and it is that key which
unlocks the problem TO a better up,
Outstanding on the part of the people
For short distances where the rate
on a given article is so cents the ex
press company will get little more
than 26 cents and the railroad a little
less than "a cents, and this division
does not seem to be unfair since tn,
express company collects the shipment
at one end of the line and delivers Il
at the other, while the railroad hauli

ratio-a little more and a little lest

Boston Transcript.
The statistical summary Of the commerce
and trade of the United States which the
government publishes is often corrective of
popular impressions with regard to the
source and origin of revenues. Just at pres
ent when the tariff is being held respon-
sible by so many for high prices and the
increased cost of living, the proportion of
our imports which come in free of duty
is often ignored. The man on the platform
denouncng the tariff conceals his knowl-
edge of the subject.
All who will free their minds of cant"
and study the operations Of the tariff will
DO at once impressed with the magnitude
OF the commerce that never pays tribute to
the custom house. For the nine months
ending March last the imports which
came in free of duty had an aggregate
value of 1854, 74,94S. They constituted almost
half in value of the total imports, for
those on which the duty was collected ag-
gregate $500 639, 1885, the two classes COM
bined totalling $1,1s4.Sl4,S43.
This year the volume of free imports is
exceptionally large. 1t is 900 greater
than for the corresponding months of the
previous fiscal year. A comparison of
periods does not, however deprive the free
list of any of its relative Importance. Free
imports in the 1908 period were to dutiable
as 500 772 536 to $500 1851 S73; for 1909 as $444
$40, 773, to $504 453, 112 These are figures worth
bearing in mind the next time the source
OF high prices is assigned to the custom
house.
