.H00KW0RM WAR
IS BEING PUSHED
One Thousand Cases Treated in
Southampton County in Two
Months Work.

The campaign against hookworm
disease In Southampton county is
proceeding with great success. Re.
ports received at the State Health De
partment from the county Indicate
that great interest is being taken IN
the work by the physicians and by the
people, and that southampton county
will soon rid itself Of the infection
When the survey OF Southampton
was begun by the officers of the State
Health Department, the county waa
found to be very seriously infected
The disease had evidently existed in
the county for years and large pro-
portion OF the people were suffering
from the mild or severe forms OF the
disease.
A vigorous campaign was at once
undertaken and field inspectors were
cent to tho county. The work OF
these inspectors was enthusiastically
received by the citizens Of the county,
who aided in every possible way IN
tho work, and the last report shows
that more than one thousand persons
who were found suffering from the
disease have already been treated.
and the complete eradication OF the
disease from the country is not FAR
distant.
"The mos. encouraging feature OF
the work in Southampton said the
state Health Commissioner. in dis
cussing the matter yesterday, rs the
readiness with which the people have
taken preventive measures. Our In
snectors have told them that while
they may be temporarily cured OF the
disease, they are never safe until SOIL

There is so little energy necessary on
our part TO whip the Tribune in news,
business, prestige, circulation and in

coming stale. Like the trained ath-
lete. who must keep up his daily exer-

Unfortunately, the Tribune has been
deteriorating very rapidly lately.
Without ideas OF it's own. if some of
its exchanges say something caustic
about The Herald-Republican or the

CHAFFTNG cor. RoosEvEIr.

Some Of the newspaper have been
poking fun at Colonel Roosevelt since
the election, because he lost his own
district and his home county. The
colonel takes the joking in good part
on Friday in Washington he made the
remark that every dog has his day
and the cats have the nights" show
ing that the strenuous former Presi-
dent is not so cast down but that he
can take a joke and make one.
The Saturday Evening Post says
that when Colonel Roosevelt was on
his latest western trip somebody asked
him what he thought Of Emperor VIII
liam.
What did think of himf" repeat
ed the colonel. why, of all the SOW
ereigns I met while in Europe. he was
the only one who struck me as If. were
he an American sovereign, he could
carry his own ward"
The Post then points out that Mr..
Roosevelt lost his own election dis
trict, the Fifth of Nassau county, by
sixty votes. and that Nassau county
also cast a plurality OF its vote for the
Democratic candidate for governor.

NO PARDON FOR WALSH.

Attorney General Wickersham's de-
cision that there is no ground for the
pardon of John R. Walsh, the Chicago
bank wrecker now serving a f1ve-year
sentence in the federal penitentiary at
Leavenworth, Kan, is one that will be
commended. While there were vari-
Gus reasons given why Walsh should
be the subject OF elemency on the part
Of President Taft, the most potent one
was that he had been a man Of power
and influence in the nation, and that
it was not fitting that he should serve
out his term IN the penitentiary.
Mr.. Wickersham's action will once
more give the lie to the theory held
by a cult OF radicals that there is one
law for the rich and another for the
poor. Walsh was one OF the big men
OF Chicago. A great traction magnate.
the owner Of a newspaper, president
Of a bank. he welded a powerful in
fiuence, but it was not sufficient TO
save him from prison when the federal
government was on his track. Walsh
was absolutely reno seless In his pur-
suit of the almighty dollar. and every
thing and everybody that stood IN his
way had to clear the track or be
ground under the wheels.
Walsh was the president of the Chi
eagO National bank. and he stole its
funds with as little compunction as
though he had been stealing apples
from an apple woman's cart. He made
bad investments, was caught IN a
squeeze and the bank went TO the wall,
as did its allied institutions. He took
the bank when the emergency arose.
and now he must pay the penalty. At
tOrney General Wickersham is right in
his decision that the pardon of Walsh
OF facts. If Walsh had stolen a few
thousands of dollars, the question OF
his pardon would never have come UP
TO the President OF the United States
or his attorney general.
1t is no more fashionable for a
banker 10 steal nowadays than it is for
a hodcarrier. The Western peniten-
tiary OF Pennsylvania has its bankers

presidents and cashiers, are cooling
their heels. During the recent graft

presidents were violated by actually
sending city eouncilmen, respectable
citizens. 10 the penitentiary. there was
a banker or two caught In the trap.
And the courts were no more lenient
with them than they were with the
ordinary councilman who sold his vote
for $50. We are certainly progress

THE PooR OLD TRIBUNE.

THE POOR OLD TRIBUNE.
1t is regrettabIe that the Salt Lake
Tribune considers It necessary TO throw
a 1T because The Herald-Republican
invited it into the fight TO help rescue
the people of Salt Lake and Utah
from the grip of the coal trust. We
have determined TO get down the price
OF coal for the people. and are willing
TO endure a great many unpleasant
things, II necessary, to bring this
about We would even associate with
the Tribune 10 accomplish the desired
end. and we hope that the people viii
appreciate from that statement the
great depths to which We are willing
TO descend to be OF service to them.
The recent advance IN the price Of
coal. and the arrogance OF the coal
trust. are combined in so great an out
rage that We would welcome assist
ance from any source TO right this
wrong.
Our motive in inviting the Tribune

were, was OF the best. Like Mark
