WHAT MOBILIZATION REVEALED
Notable Health Conditions shown I'm
the Texas Camp
Indianapolis News

nOtaDie Health conditions SHOWN In
the Texas Camp
Indianapolis News
Now that It Is over, and-thanks to the
conservatism and steadfastness of Presi-
dent Taft-swe were not embrolled in the
Mexican affair. 1t seems that the mobilixa-
ton Of the American army this spring was
decided advantage, For the first time In
our history We have mobilized an army on
war footing without the terrible tragedy
Of death by disease spelling an otherwise
good record. In the entire Spanish-Amer
lean war our losses were only 800 fallen in
battle, but nearly 1000 were killed by bully
beef, bad camp conditions and carelessness.
DR.. Frank W. Foxworthy of this city, who
was commissioned by the army as one of
its reserve medical officials, has been, on
orders, making an inspection Of the camps.
He was well qualified for this, having
served through the spanish and Philippine
wars and the Boxer campaign In China as
commissioned medical officer. In a re-
port, sent as 4 correspondent to the Journal
OF the American Medical association, he
says In speaking OF the San Antonio camps:
Though an average OF over 1900 troops
have been enoamped on the same ground
for over three months, yet the sick report
IL about one-half what Il was at their
| home stations. or the eight deaths here
but two have been from diseases developed
here In an experiences with mill
tary camps extending back to 1894, this Is
the first large maneuver camp that have
seen that can be called sanitary In the
fullest sense of the word. Never in the his
tory OF the world has q military camp bean
so free from typhoid fever. There have
been only two cases-one q civilian team
ster and a mild case In q recruit Both
were incurred before reaching here"
DR.. Foxworthy attributes the wonderful
showing TO several causes which show
that We are beginning to learn how to
make war less terrible, foe its death roll
has always been greater from diseases
than bullets. The organization has been
perfect, the food good and wholesome.
Even flies and mosquitoes have been ban
ished from the camp. Good water has been
provided. Texas has furnished the good
sunshine-a wonderful disinfectant, which
was available, of course, In the mobiliza-
ton camps that made our Spanish Amer
lean war record 90 CHASTITY. But In Texas
the army has shown II can use it. And
then, probably greater than all else. has
been the incubation against typhoid fever.
The results have been marvellous, as In
dicated above.

Getting it Straight.

Our old friend, Edgar Howard,
thinks The Bee has not read quite
Alright, his demand that the author of
the Albert law be rewarded with a
place on the supreme bench because
of alleged threats by lawyers retained
to fight the law that no one not OPP
posed to 1t can expect to be elected a
supreme judge this year. ITO get it
straight" Edgar comes clear over to
The Bees proposition that the judi
cial qualifications of the aspirant and
his legal training and reputation for
integrity should be the determining
factors and not his known belief in or
opposition to any particular law whose
validity may come up for adjudication.
But, irrespective of anyone's candi-
dacy, THE Omaha white-slavers must
not be permitted to pack the supreme
court with judges OF their own choos-
ing" so we are admonished. Long
live the law"
That is exactly our sentiment, too,
but really. Edgar. there is no call for
alarm so far as the supreme court is
concerned, for an accommodating
Judge on our district bench here has
just pulled all the fangs out of the
Albert law and relieved "the bene-
ficiaries OF the white-slavers" of all
fear OF It. This Judge has found the
place on which the test case was
brought to be a nuisance as defined by
the Albert law, but refuses to impose
any penalties. All the Judge says the
law requires is that the beneficiaries
cease doing business as a nuisance and
desist until they happen TO be caught
again. The drastic penalties of clos
ing the building for year and selling
OF the furniture and fixtures under
court order. this accommodating Judge
suspends altogether. If arrested and
found guilty in the police court, the
keeper of a disorderly house would at
least be fined. but when convicted un-
der the Albert law the only penalty
is a promise to quit.
Never bother, then, Edgar, about
the attitude OF the supreme court on
the Albert law. The district court
judge who has tried the test case here
has already put the fxings to It.

More Interest in the Iorimer Case.

According to Washington advices,
many senator's are showing a quick
ened interest in the Lorimer case. An
nouncement of their plan to attend the
hearings before the committee from
now ON augurs rather well for re-
liable verdict next time the evidence
goes TO the jury, II there were q dis
position to whitewash again, the sena-
tors would scarcely go to the trouble
of attending these meetings, where
witnesses are piling UP testimony day
after day.
This decision on the part of SEN
ators hitherto Indifferent has been an
nounced since the return of the Ken
lucky primaries came in and in that
may lie some personal significance.
Senator Paynter was overwhelmingly
swamped by Ollie James for renomi-
nation in that primary election, admit
tedly because Senator Paynter was a
member of the original Lorimer white
wash committee. So 1t may be the
handwriting on the wall that is con-
vincing certain senators that 1t would
be hazardous to repeat the feast of
Belshazzar.
1t is great thing sometimes to
hear from "home" on matters affect
ing ones personal fortunes If one hap
pens to be representative of a SOW
ereign people at the seat of govern
ment. The sovereign people. obvi-
ously, have made up their minds a
long time ago on the Lorimer question
and appear to be in no mood to APP
preciate the funny side of it. If SEN
ators have waited for the Kentucky
example to prick their consciences, it
reflects no special credit upon them,
but still it is better late than never
in a case of this kind.
