/. A SANITARY ENGINEER NEEDED

President Pratt of the board of health is max
BIZ a very worthy suggestion in advocating the
Employment of skilled sanitary engineer for
he territory's health work. Honolulu is con-
iderahIy behind the times in sanitation work,
artly from lack of funds and partly from the
bility TO make such funds as the territory has
o che most work in the right direction
Mainland cities and states several years ago
cyan employing sanitary engineers, with sur
risingly speedy. and beneficial results. One
ity Of 100000 inhabitants lowered its death
ate BY almost one-half after thorough reor-
nnization of its health department, including
he establishment of a sanitary office with a
fained engineer at its head Inside of four
ears the city came to have the lowest death-rate
il any municipality OF over 100000 population
b the United States.
Sanitary engineering is one of the newer pro-
essions, but those who practice it are already
aking high positions in the world of men who
do things. 1t is quite as specialized as cleo
rical engineering or chemical engineering A
military engineer must be more than a. physi-
IAN, as he must be more than a man able to run
epels or determine grades The sanitary engi-
beer aims to prevent disease, dealing with human
beings as units of mass and guarding the whole
mass against the attacks Of disease. The SAM
AIRY engineer deals with problems of impure air,
hirty or infected water, strpet-cleaning, garbage
emoval, sewage disposal. The sanitary engi.
neer Is often bacteriologist, ever on the search

Col. Gorgas, the man who has cleaned up the
Panama Canal zone, is splendid example Of

There is at present. lying somewhere in the
Executive building an excellent report from The
kanitary commission authorized by the last leg
islature and appointed by Governor Frear. That
report was the work of a year by a competent
body of men that included such technically

la. II. Keller, and such medical experts as DIR

at Washington by the stringent 1ew
examination rules, according to an in
depreciation of them by Recorder
Stone. This will mean that until the
matter can be adjusted the expensive
chapter houses will be left to run with

one-fourth of the Greek letter society

There is a faculty ruling that no
fraternity shall initiate any pledge be-
fore the student has earned 12 credits,
and since no credits will be given for
work done the first semester, before
June, this means no more freshmen

Hodge, involving the constitutionality
of the peddlers' law of the state of
Washington. A number of years ago
our townsman, Judge Forney, at the
request of the implement dealers of
Idaho, drew a peddlers' law for this
state. This law was strenuously con-
tested but held good by our supreme
court. Subsequently the same law was
enacted by the legislature of the state
of Washington. This law was attacked
before the supreme court of that state
and the decision was in favor of the
law. An appeal has been taken to the
supreme court of the United States and
the matter will come up at an early
date. The Hon. Lawrence Maxwell of
an associate of Justice
Hughes. and one of the ablest lawyers
in the middle west, has been retained
to fight this law. Judge Forney will
leave at an early date for Washington
and argue the constitutionality of the
law before the federal supreme court.

Wife Speaks-Husband Dies.

MAYSVILLE, KY, Jan. 20.-To have
lived with his wife under the same
roof for 25 years without speaking to
her, and then to die of heart failure
when she broke the silence, was the
fate of Louis Roser of this city, it was
learned today.
No one seems to know what brought
about the silence between the couple.
The wife, although she broke the long
silence, refuses to discuss the circum-
stances leading up to the death of her
husband.
Seated at the dinner table last Sun
day his wife, for the first time in more
than a score Of years, broke the silence

by asking her husband to have a cup
of coffee He replied: Il believe |
will" With these words he fell back
in his chair, stricken with heart trou-
bic. A few hours later he died.
When his will was made public to-
day, the Sunday incident became
known. In his will Roser, who was
quite wealthy, left everything to his
wife and requested that his body be
cremated and the ashes cast on the
Suspension Bridge in Cincinnati. In
compliance with his request, the body
will be taken to Cincinnati tomorrow
to the crematory in Clifton and Gre
mated. Friday, at a time to be ap
pointed later, his ashes will be scat
tered to the winds from the suspension
bridge connecting Cincinnati with
Covington, Ky.

Probate Judge Will F. Morgariedge Says
Fire Would Destroy Evidence
of Title.

Title to over a million dollars in
real estate and almost as much
personal property rests upon rec
Ords in the Office Of the probate court.
These records, without protection are
in the Office of Judge MOrgareidge
and in case of fire incOnceiyabIe lit
igatiOn would be necessary in straight
ening out the tangle Of titles.
The statement, officially made by
Judge MOrgareidge, Is given in full to-
day:
MOSCOW, Ida, Jan. 10, 1912. Mr..
A. L. Morgan, Moscow, Ida. Dear Sir:
In your letter to James W. Clark,
which was printed In the Daily Star
Mirror, under date of January Is, 1912,
you referred in a general way to the
lack of protection for county records
as is now possible with the kind of
court house we now have.
l always feel that the taxpayers, and
all citizens of the county are entitl-
ed to all the information available
concerning each apd every office, with
such a statement that they will know
the nature of the work of each and the
amount of the peoples business they
are caring for, and the Importance
of it's preservation.
l give you below some facts and fig
ures that ought to be interesting,
showing that the probate office has
within it's possession, without any pro-
lection whatever, records in probate
showing as follows
Title to 65,024.77 acres of land with
an appraised valuation of 81, ISL ,467.05,
and 1O11 lots or tracts of land with an
valuation of $214, ,341.50 de-
pends upon and goes to the records of
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1912-01-20

| the probate court for it's foundation
Estimating 100 acres as the average
| farm, and two lots as the average town
or city residence, the above would
show that the homes of more than 900 of
our families have at some time passed
through the probate court, and upon
proper showing being made has, by
that court, been distributed to the
proper parties.
Let me advise you of fact, which
you already know, that in the event
of the destruction of the records above
referred to, the cost and trouble to OBJ
tain satisfactory title would neces
state, not one suit to clear all of a
'cloud," but separate suit for each
and every separate description of real
property
In addition to the above, the records
show that this court has distributed
personal property to the amount of
s647,89724, which said records is
found only in this office.
AS this court has original jurisdic-
tion in all matter of estates, adoptions,
insane examinations and other matters
of minor Importance, and the records
are found among those kept in the
probate office, it becomes at once ap-
parent that their safety is of very
great Importance to the property of
all time.
The records of this office have alb
solutely no protection against fire
whatever
Should this building catch fire at
an hour when the offices are closed we
could return to heap of brick, be-
meath which we might hunt in vain
for a single record, all being reduced
to ashes, even in the one dingy vault
with which we are now furnished.
Very truly yours, Will F. Morgareidge,
Probate Judge.
