TAFT
AT ChICkAMAUCA
VIEWS BATTLE GROUNDS-VISIT
NOT A POLITICAL ONE.
Col. Gorgas, Head of Sanitary Work in
Canal Zone, Comes in for Executive
Commentator.

Chattanooga.-After a day spent in
travelling through Tennessee, President
Taft Friday afternoon was driven for
IS miles over the battlefield of Chicka-
manga, where historians conceded one
OF the bloodiest conflicts of the civil war
was fought. More than two hours the
president motored over the hills and
through the valleys where Gen. Bragg,
at the head of the Confederate army,
and Gen. Rosecrans on the Union side
fought 4S years ago,w with a total loss Of
more than $4,000 men. With the presi-
dent rode former Congressman Grosvenor
of Ohio, wso was Northumberland of
the Eighteenth Ohio battery, and who is
now a member of the ~Chickamauga Ma
tional Park commission, and ex-United
States Senator Frazier of Tennessee.
Immediately behind him rode many
men who fought on one side or the other
in that great battle. The president was
whirled by scores of monuments that
bore testimony to the valor of the thou
sands who fought at Chickamauga, and
paused more than once to read the in
scriptions on shafts of stone and granite
to the men who died on the field around
him.
The president declared that his visit
to Tennessee was not political, and to
the students of Chattanooga University
he defended his appointments to the
United States supreme court.
Before speaking of the treaties, the
president discussed the Panama canal.
He praised Col. Gorgas, an alumnus of
the University of the South, who is now
at h head OF the sanitary work in the
canal Without Col. Gorgas, the
president said, the great canal could
hardly nave been completed.

KINGS IN EXILE.

Porfrio DiaZ must be recognized when he
reaches Spain by far the most notable of the
deposed rulers now fitting about the courts of
Europe. Not one of his feow-kings in exile
has ruled anything like so great an empire as
was his, not one has enjoyed for tenth as
long mquestioned power and prestige
The BOnapartist and Bourbon pretenders
have never been territorial rulers, have never
commanded anything larger than a regiment of
soldiers. King Milan Of Serva, who once en-
Joyed sort of monarchic sway in his half
wild country. is dead and the like is true of
Don Pedro, the only recent exiled monarch
who ever had power and prestige approaching
those exercised by the late president of Mexico
Cyprano Castro, who ruled for a time with an
open tyranny that even Mexico has not recently
known, had in Venezelua which was
as mere episode compared with the full gen
Grafton OF the Diaz autocracy, and ex-President
Firmn of Hayt now an exile at st. Thomas.
had an even shorter reign than President Castro
of Venezuela
1t is very distinguished guest that the new
world sends to the old in the person of Porfiric
Diaz His presence will serve to call attention
once more to the curious fact that the genuine
wlelders OF power as titular heads of states are
found upon this side of the Atlantic Our ex-
ample of a chief executive voluntarily clothed
by the people with powers and functions re-
sembling those of old-fashioned monarch has
been potent with the American states to the
south OF us, and those people, gifted with a
feeble instinct for true self government, have
easily fallen under the sway of one theoretically
elective tyrant after another
Within twenty years some of our neighbors
have begun to emerge from the condition of
tyranny tempered by revolution but this con
tnent rather than Europe is still the home of
modern autocracy. The change that seems
probable in the political methods of Mexico
should act as powerful stimulant to the devel-
opment of genuine self-government in Central
and South America

OLD MINING CAMP
OF TUSCARORA REVIVING

The old camp of Tuscarora is
again attracting the attention of the
mining men. For years the mines
have been flooded with water, and
coming within few feet of the
surface. A strong eastern corpora
ton has taken over most of the
holdings and the camp is again en-
joying prosperity. Many men have
been put on the payroll and I'M
watering the shafts is now in

The report that was published
few days ago that the power plant
at Jacks Creek, which furnishes
electricity to Tuscarora, had been
completely destroyed by fire was
exaggerated. The transformers were
burned out and will be immediately
replaced.
Tuscarora furnished the world
with some forty million dollars
worth of precious mineral and will
soon again be on the producing
scale. The old camps are coming
back at rapid rate.

PANAMA AN OBJECT LESSON.

The report of the department of the Isthmian
canal commission for the mouth of March, just
issued, indicates that the Canal Zone, formerly
swept by disease and pestence but now policed
by Colonel Gorgas and his sanitary inspectors,
is safe place as any on earth for "a white
man woman to live During the month of
March, there were only forty deaths from
all causes among 1895 employees. Sixteen Of
these deaths were from violence and twenty
seven were from disease. Of these victims
twenty-three were colored and four were Italian
or Spanish
Not single white American man died Of
disease Still more striking are the figures for
white employees and their families from the
United States In this class, there are at the
present. lO,209 persons in the Canal Zone &
OF this number, equivalent to the entire popula
ton of an average American city, there WI
only ten deaths. OF these, three white employees
from the United States, out of total number
of 6,Ol7, died as the result of accident; nor
died as the result of disease Out of 42S2 white
women and children from the United States
there were only seven deaths. An analysis
the causes of these deaths is especially instruct
i've. One woman, aged 81, died of chronic.
nephritis. One infant lived only two and a half
hours as the result of premature birth; three
women, aged %, q and Al, died as the result
OF complications due to pregnancy
All OF these deaths can be regarded as in
measure, unavoidable. Only two cases of deaths
OF white Americans from preventabe disease
remains one woman, aged 49, and one child,
aged three years, both Of whom died of pneu-
MONA. And this out of a total number of white
women and children of over 1000 and total
number OF white Americans of over 10000
Has any such record in the elimination of
disease ever before been established or even
dreamed OF The present population of the
anal Zone, is, it is true, composed Of young,
vigorous and carefully selected persons and
some allowance must be made for this fact
Yet as good results be secured in any
community III the United States if the intelli-
gent, painstaking, scientific methods followed
by Colonel Gorgas and his subordnates are only
adopted
IL the Panama canal should serve no other
purpose than that of an object lesson in santa
ton, 1t will be worth to the United States and
the civilized world far more than it's total cost
The world has been shown that preventable
disease is the result of ignorance and ndffer-
ence and that i'll view of our present knowledge
OF the causes and methods of prevention of dis
ease It's continued existence is discreditable to

FALL OF THE FLY.

1t Is truly remarkable how the 'swat the
fly campaign has spread, if one may Judge
from the explorations that has been given e.
Just how deeply the statistics as to the number
OF million germs one healthy, active fly can
carry with him has impressed the mind of the
public cannot be accurately guaged, but it must
have made large dent, for one no longer
hears as he once did humanitarian protests
against the fortunes of the tanglefoot or of the
beverages set out in saucers on the window
ledge.
The fall of the fly in popular estimation
has, we therefore conclude, been complete
though sudden. 1t was not so long ago that the
old nursery song about baby and the fly was
still droned to sleep infants or sung in II
primary grades of the public schools Certain
paper no longer sings:
Baby bye, there's fly.
Let us watch him, you and |
No, indeed! When the informed mother
detects fly engaged in the cute little practice
of washing his hand, she knows that il is q,
innocent amusement the fly is engaged in. lie
