PREVENTION OF FOURTH OF JULY
TETANuS.
TETANuS.

1t is important to sound note OF
warning each year just before the an
nual celebration Of Independence Day
calling attention to the possibilities of
further reducing the mortality of te-
tanus. Consultation of the annual COM
pilations made by The Journal OF the
American Medical Association OF the
tetanus cases occurring as the result
of Fourth of July celebrations since
1903 will show that there has been
gradual reduction in number. In 1903
there were 415 cases of tetanus in the
United States as the result of Fourth
of July injuries: in 1911 there were
lonly eighteen. OF the eighteen cases
of tetanus occurring in 1911, ten, or 90
Der cent. terminated fatally, as com.
pared with 93 per cent in 1910, "a per
cent in 1909 and 70 per cent in 1908.
While these figures are very gratifying
they can still be improved Tetanus,
and particularly deaths as the result
of tetanus. are almost entirely avoid
able. Not only the layman, but also
lthe physician, should be impressed
with the fact that death from tetanus
should practically never occur. The
loss of life from this cause must be
Inscribed entirely to the neglect of the
lpatient or his parents to seek medical
ladviee early enough after the injury
THE experience of years proves con
leMsiyely that tetanus anti-toxin Is
most valuable, but entire dependence
should not be placed or it to the ne
lglect of other treatment Anti-toxir
lis not substitute for surgical care
and treatment; it is an aid thereto
Fatal results may occur because anti
toxin is injected too late or because
the local infection is not given th'
necessary attention. The antitoxil
! should be used at the earliest possibl'
opportunity. in sufficiently large doses
The injection may be repeated Otter

The Oklahoman rejoices with all
Oklahoma. and with progressives
everywhere. in the democratic party
and out. from Connecticut to California
and from Minnesota to Mississippi, at
the nomination of Governor Woodrow
Wilson for the presidency by the dem
ocraitc national convention at Balti-
more yesterday.
We rejoice not so much because his
nomination. in our judgment, means
overwhelming democratic victory in
November, but because he measures
souarely up. in mental equipment and
moral attribute, to the demands Of
situation growing out of power pro-
tractedly prostituted and privilege run
ming riot which appeals to every patri-
otic citizen for prompt and effective
redress. We also rejoice that in the
candidate we find embodied all those
qualities Of mind and heart which as
sure n advance an immediate assault
upon the breastworks of plutoeracy, a
fixed and resolute purpose to correct
present-day evils, and the essential
poise for going about this hereulean
task in a sane, business-like, thorough
going manner.
Governor Wilson is an unique type
among men. AS he graphically puts it.,
he is a sane radical He does not be.
llieva in hammer-and-tongs methods
nor fuss and feathers He believes,
on the contrary. in accomplishing rad
lieal reforms by conservative measures.
1t is perhaps well within the bounds
o ftruth to say that no man in the ma
ton is better acquainted with Ameri-
can history or more firmly welded to
American institutions AS an educa-
tor he has devoted lifetime to mas.
ltering the science of government and
lin recent years has given practical ap.
plication to his theories as chief execu-
live of \ trust-ridden state. where he

One of the most interesting an
nouncements of recent weeks to
be made by the management of
the Princess theater is the pre-
sentation of David Harum"
which will be made by the Prin-
cess Stock company for the week
beginning with the bargain mat
inee Sunday. The play, which was
one of the greatest successes of
its day, is almost too well known
to require much in the way of ex-
PLANTATION.
David Harum," by Edward
Moves Wescott, took the country
by storm as a book and was for
a year or more one of the best
sellers. When it was finally
dramatized it made as great a
success as a play as it did in book
form. With William H. Crane in
the title role the play ran for
more than a season in New York
and also had long runs in Boston
and Chicago. 1t was then pre-
sented for several seasons on tour.
There win be matinees on
Wednesday and Saturday.
