Mr.. Roosevelt,s Latest "Kiok."

Throughout the campaign Col. Koose-
welt was persistent that he was not
getting square deal from the news
papers, OF course there was no basis
for the charge, which reflected not
only on the papers that were opposing
him, but upon his own supporters as
well. But the Progressive candidate
cannot get the idea out of his head
He returns to it in his recent procla-
nation in which he declared that his
party polled between 100000 and
100000 votes, against the bitter hos
tility of 90 per cent of the press of the
country, against the furious opposition
of every upholder of special privilege
whether in politics or in business, and
with the channels of information to
the public largely choked."
If there was any essential inforna-
ton about the coloners campaign that
was suppressed by any paper he should
make it known. As matter of fact
the papers supporting Wilson and
Taft gave much more space to the
doings and speeches of Mr.. Roosevelt
than the Bull Moose papers gave the
other side But it is idle to attempt
to argue with Mr.. Roosevelt. He dis
likes opposition and criticism, how
ever fair. The case is we'll stated by
The Neu Nork Times.
The newspapers of the country
which spent thousands of dollars in
giving campaign publicity to Col
Roosevelt and his Progressive party,
did not expect from the colonel graft
tude or thanks, or even the common
politenesS of acknowledgment, but
they had a right to expect that he
would not be guilty of a shameless
perversion of the truth. Never in
their history have the newspapers given
so much space to a Presidential can
didate as to Mr.. Roosevelt. The press
channels were indeed choked, but they
were choked for months with the
Roosevelt reports. And now he conn.,
plains that access to the public ear
was denied him. Let him try to
imagine what would have befallen him
and his Progressives if the news
papers had entered into a conspiracy
of silence He would not have car
ried a single State, he would have
fallen behind Debs.
There is something wrong with
Progressive morality when the leader
of that cause, who is the best adver-
tised man in the United States. or for
that matter in the whole world, COM
plains that the columns of the press
have been closed against him.

The Public Health Service.

The medical service of the govern
ment never was more efficiently sd.
ministered than at present. The doc
tors are enthusiastic in their work
and every year brings an improve
ment in the system and methods which
is bound to result in good. The task
of the examining surgeons in the va
rious ports where immigrants enter is,
as the incident of the bubonic plague
illustrates, of the utmost importance to
the health of the country. If rats had
been refused admission to the shores
of the United States the Federal gov
ernment and California would have
been saved something like 100000
to date. For it was one rat that
brought the bubonic plague. Rats, &C
oording to a medical authority, do not
transmit the plague to humans, who
acquire it from the bite of feas which
infest the rat.
The health officials are alive to the
weakness of the present system and
will call them to the attention of Con-
gress. For the year ended June 80,
1912, I,I43,234 aliens applied for ad-
mission to the United States, through
eighty-two places of entry. OF these
no less than 27.o2I we're recommended
by the examining surgeons for re-
lection. The duty OF making physical
examinations of this army of strangers
was carried out by twenty-siX officers
of the Public Health Service, ffty-fve
acting assistant surgeons and some
others as medical inspectors. This
force is insufficient to deal effectively
with the many cases the physicians are
called upon to examine The service
is good at the great ports, but several
causes contribute to make it difficult
to prevent the entry of diseased
aliens at some of the minor ports of
entry. So thorough is the medical
inspection at the Pacific ports that
the Japanese and Hindoos, who must
be watched for hookworm disease, are
avoiding those ports and trying to
make their entry through Mexico into
our border States. The surgeons at
these smaller places are called upon
for duty at all hours of the day and
night and the government has diff
Guilty, for the compensation allowed
by law, in securing competent men.
One suggestion to increase the eff
hciency of the system of inspection is
that the international railroads shall
be prohibited from crossing the bor-
der with trains bearing aliens except
during the day when it will be prac-
ticable and convenient to make
thorough examinations. Other meth
ods would necessitate the assist
ance of Congress. One is that more
commissioned officers be employed by
the Public Health Service, acquiring
enough competent men, adequately
paid, to enable them to give their
whole time to the work of inspec-
ton. A second plan would be for
Congress to provide an emergency aP-
preparation for the employment of more
acting assistant surgeons. A third
is that the duties of the medical ex-
aminer of aliens and inspector of i'm
migrants be combined. This would
not mean that every inspector of i'm
migrants should be a physician. but
that every medical examiner should
also have the authority of an inspector
of immigrants.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
THE CITY MAN.
recent success

The city fellow has TO plod
Most OF his time.
He merely sees the golden-rod
In current rhyme.
He has to toll to get the kale
To fill his purse.
He hardly ever sees a quail
Except in verse.
However. poets persevere
And point the way.
And he can tell that autumn's here

DimcuIties of Impartial History.

Cecil ChestGton in London Eye Witness
The reason why you cannot have i'm
partial history is quite simple. No man
writing for men whose years are three
score and ten can narrate everything
that happened or even everything that
is known to have happened during a sin
gle year. He must needs select and tell
us of the important things that hap
pened: and what things he will think
important will depend entirely on his
general theory of what was the big thing
that was hapr Ing.
Thus. for example, when l was a boy
my history books told me certain things
about Hampden. But they never told me
that he was one OF the richest men in
England. They told me that the long
Parliament compelled the abandonment
of ship money. But they did not tell me
that 1t substituted for this direct tax on
property taxes that fell on the mass of
ordinary consumers. And this was not,
should suggest, because the writer's
were either ignorant of these facts or
bent on INSCRIPTIONS deception, but be-
cause the facts did not seem to them
relevant. They no more thought of men,
tioning whether Hampden was rich or
poor than whether he was tall or short
They were no more concerned with the
precise fiscal arrangements made by the
Parliament than with the precise ar
rangement of seats in the Parliament
house What they saw was a Parliament
standing for the people against the
tyranny of the crown. Had they seen,
as now see. as the outstanding fact. an
oligarchy trying to establish itself in
the place of a popular executive, HampA
den's wealth and the long Parliament's
finance would have become for them, as
they are for me, facts of the first inn
portance.
