queries from all over the state, is as
follows:
~Your request for statement from
me regarding the possibility of an Os.

more than fair that my friends through
out the state Ahould know just what
my attitude is toward the splendidly

Barasa County Recognized.

State Game and Fish Warden w. R.
Oates on Sept. 25th issued commits
sion to Octave Sicotte, appointing him
a deputy state game, fish and forestry
warden for Baraga county, beginning
October /.
This county is one of the best game
preserves in Northern Michigan and in
appointing Mr.. Sicotte, Warden Oates
made no mistake, as there will be few
er violations of the law with local
man on guard than when we have an
outside warden who is making trips
through the different localities every
few weeks.
The appointment Of Mr.. Sicotte was
well received by local sportsmen and
members Of the rod and gun club, who
are all interested in the protection Of
game and fish. With the new warden's
record Of four years as village marshal
and four years ss sheriff Of the county,
we believe it would pay violators te
cease operations.
Under the supervision Of Mr.. Oates,
the state game, fish and forestry de.
partment is showing good results. We
predict an excellent record should al
of Mr.. Oates appointments be as good
as the one just made.

Osborn for Second Term.

Hon. John o. Maxey and Attorney
William L. Mason returned from
trip through the Lower Peninsula last
week, and in an interview with The
SENTINEL commented on the general
interest shown in the retention Of Gov
ernor Chase s. Osborn for the ensuing
term. While always expected that the
Upper Peninsula would endorse the
Governors administration, it is graft
flying to observe that he has complete
ly won the people Beyond the Straits. I"
His policies are generally approved and
commended; he has accomplished much
along the lines Of reform suggested by
him when first elected, and in another
term he will undoubtedly give the peo-
pie Of the State still more benefit and
results.
! The people Of the Upper Peninsula
find cause for congratulation that their
candidate has won the approval and
admiration Of the remainder Of the
State. and we cordially urge Mr.. Os-
born for the second term, renewing al
our pledges for his fitness.
Right here we pronounce unqualified
" in favor Of . Legislature In full sym
'pathy with the executive, and predict
for better results from hearty support
and concord than when our representa-
dives have other axes b grind.

Whoopine coueh and Measles Most
Fatal Contagious Diseases.

The Importance of preventing wide
spread epidemics Of Whooping coughs
and Measles dose not appear to have
been sufficiently impressed upon the
minds of the public. There are a num-
ber Of diseases which receive much
more attention from the public in prop
ortion to their Importance from the
standpoint Of mortality record. than do
these.
In the last five years in Michigan,
there have been 1890 deaths charged to
Whooping-cough, and 1922 charged to
Measles. These numbers do not prop
erly indicate the high rate of mortality
from these two diseases. This is because
a great number Of cases have been re-
ported to have died of Pneumonia. which
upon closer investigation, show to have
had Measles or Whooping-cough pre-
ceeding the Pneumonia. Such deaths
should be charged to Whooping cough
or Measles.
The Importance Of these diseases, a.
considered by the Medical profession, II
well shown in the following resolution
adopted by the Calhoun County Medical
Society, recently.
Resolve, that the Calhoun County
Medical Society in regular session in
the City of Marshall, appreciate the
fact that ''Pertussis" (whooping-cough}
is one of the most fatal Of the contagi-
GUS diseases of childhood. Resolved,
that the Calhoun County Medical Society
hereby expresses its desire that through
the efforts of the State Board Of Health,
and the various health officers of the
State, the public may be better in
structed in the danger Of this disease.
that the disease be reported, that strin-
gent quarantine regulations be en-
forced"
The policy which we too often find,
of allowing children who have Whoop-
ing-cough to attend the public school is
an entirely wrong one. and one which
must not be tolerated. A child with
whooping. cough or measles should be
given just as careful attention by the
parents and physicians as case Of
Scarlet Fever. The regulations of the
State board of Health provide that
children who have whooping-cough or
measles, also children who live in a
household so as to be exposed to
whooping- cough or measles, must not
attend the public schools or any public
gatherings. This is regulation which
is rather extensively not complied with
in this State, and it is this failure to 80
restrict the cases which accounts for
the large number Of deaths.
:, 1t is especially urged that the public
in general take more active precautions
against these large epidemics of
whooping-cough and measles. It is the
duty Of the physicians in charge Of
these cases, or Of the householder in
case there is no physician in cearge, to
report these cases to the local health
officer. 1t is his duty to forward the
report to the state department. Failure
to comply with these requirements
constitutes violation of the law which
should not be tolerated.

inspired. The inspiration was promptly put
into execution. In his Suavest manner he
invited the Sicilians abroad his ship to play
for "a ball. The invitation was accepted
with alacrity, induced no doubt by the pros
pect of American gold.
A few nights afterward the entire organi-
cation was on board the frigate with its in
struments, when the Captain suddenly
found it expedient to return to the United
States So it was up anchor and away be-
fore the astonished Sicilians could protest.
There is no authentic record of what became
of this band of Italian musicians, as many of
the Marine Corps archives were destroyed
in 1914. !.
The official records do show, however,
that shortly after the Marine Corps was or
ganized (probably in 1S0D Lieutenant Colo
mel Archibald Henderson brought from Ma
piles group of thirteen Italian musicians,
which was the inception of the organization
as an instrumental band.
An act to establish Marine Corps was
approved by President John Adams on July
IL, 1898. This law provided for drum and
fife corps, consisting of sixteen drurnmers and
sixteen filters, one of whom should act as fife
major This constituted the Marine Band
until the arrival of the Neapolitans about
three years later.
For several wears the band had no special
leader; first one member and then another
acted as fife major. This practice continued
until August IA, 1915, when ]. L. Club, of
the sloop Lexington, was regularly appointed,
and served until 1924. He was succeeded
by Eutins Friquet, who served until October
80, 1880, when Francis Schenlg was ap-
pointed, serving until September %, 1S43.
Schenig was relieved by Francis Scala, who
served until 1S4S. and again from 1854 until
December Is, 1871.
1t was under Scala's leadership that the
band first became famous. He inaugurated
the open air concerts at the White House
and the Capitol grounds, for which Congress
allowed extra compensation in 1856. These
concerts grew in such favor that steps were
undertaken to improve the organization,
which was still officially known as fife and
drum corps. Legislation was obtained to
reorganize it as band, with principal mu
sician and thirty members. On July 25,
1861, President Lincoln affixed his signature
to law that recognized the first band as
part of the military service of the United
States.
Scala retired in 1871, after having served
in the band nearly thirty years, twenty-five
of which he was its leader. He was sue
ceeded by Henry Fries, who served until
August %, 1873. Louis Schneider was APP
pointed September 2, 1873, serving until
October 90, 1880. On October 80, 1880,
John Philip Sousa was chosen leader. SouSa
had formerly been a member of the band, as
had his father. The elder Sousa enlisted in
1861 under the name of Suacca; but upon
reenlistment he gave the name of Sousa,
which he continued to use thereafter.
Sousa left the service July 80, 1892, to
organize a band of his own, and Francesca
Fanciulli was appointed. He served until
October 81, 1897. When his term expired
he was not reappointed and the band was

ONE of the best known

ONE of the best known
- and most popular
musical organizations in
this country is the United
States Marine Band. 1t
is always selected to fur
nish the music at impor-
tant Government func-
tons, such as inaugural
balls and receptions at
the White House, and is
always assigned the post
of honor in notable pa
rades. Indeed, it IS the
ablest and most famous
military band in the coun-
try.
There is an interesting
tradition that the original
marine band was kid
mapped from the sunny
slopes of Sicily. The
story goes that one Cap
tain Mcneil of the Ameri-
can frigate Boston was
cruising in the Mediter-
ranean, when his soul
yearned for the sound of
real music, an art that
had been little developed
in this young Republic.
When ashore he heard a
regimental band play so
