LEPROsY IN THE UNITED STATES

A survey of the prevalence of lep-
ROSY in the United States and its pos
sessions was recently made by the
United States Public Health Service.
This report is reviewed in a recent
number of the Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association. Health
officers of the several states, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines
were requested to submit state
ment of the total number OF new
cases reported in 1911 and of the to-
tai number on January LIST, l9lZ.
The results were not complete, be-
cause in only eighteen states and the
District of Columbia is leprosy a spe-
officially notifiable disease. In all,
LAG cases were reported in the Unit
ed States, of which forty were new
cases. having been first observed in
1911. In 1911 commission OF OIL
GERS of the Public Health Service
found 278 lepers in the United
States Of these las were foreign
born and thirteen were OF unknown
nativity; 1856 were reported as nav
ing probably contracted the disease
in this country. Only seventy-tWo OF
the patients were isolated and cared
for nv the local authorities. The
146 cases reported in the present
survey do not indicate a decreased
prevalence. Rather these lag cases
reported by health authorities are
comparable to the seventy-two cases
of patients cared for by health ot1l-
cials in 1901. Three states-Cal-
fornia, Louisiana and Massachu-
setts-have specific provision for lep-
ers in leprosariums. In other states
VARYING degrees of care and isolation
are provided There are known to
be twenty-eight Iepers in Porto RICO.
In Hawaii and the Philippines the
disease constitutes an important pup
lie health problem. In the Phlllp-
mines about 5000 lepers have been
transferred to Culion. Cebu, an is
land with one-tenth the population
of the Philippines, furnished one
half of the cases. On this island
many instances indicate that leprOsy
is a so-called house disease. The
treasury department recently amend
ed the Interstate quarantine regula-
lions to the effect that common car
riers may not transport leper ex-
cept under specified restrictions and
4 special permit from the surgeon
general of the public health and ma
rine hospital service. A leper who
violates this regulation is to be re-
turned to the original state or to a
designated federal quarantine sta
ton.

MAKE A DEADLINE.

Governor Brown, who deplores the
legislatures apparent tendency to
disregard the financial condition OF
the state, is reported by an Atlanta
dispatch as favoring a constitutional
amendment that would limit the gen.
eral assembly in the matter of appro-
priations.
Governor Browns plan is to re-
quire the tax receivers of the various
counties to make reports to the
comptroller general before the mid
die of July and amend the constitu-
ton, so that the legislature cannot
appropriate more money than is act
ually in sight at that time. This, the
chief executive believes, would not
only free the state from financial diff
ficulties, but prevent many foolish
appropriations from being made.
The governors statement came
after it had been suggested that an
extra session of the legislature will
be necessary if the present tendency
in financial legislation continues.
The News is inclined just now to be-
lieve that it is a good idea.

The South Texas onion crop has
been harvested It gave to the rail-
roads 1000 carloads of freight and
brought the growers over million
and a half dollars profit. The onion
crop is only one of the items of di-
versified agriculture that the Calves
ton News says is bringing wealth to
the farmers of that state. Lettuce,
potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes and
many other crops bring thousands of
dollars profit to the growers. These
things grow just as well in Georgia
as they do in Texas, and we are much
nearer the markets.

President Slaton felt called upon
a few days ago to lecture the sena-

ed in executive session. That any
thing is kept secret these days, even
the work of grand juries, is violent
supposition. Too many folks who
would just die if they couldn't tell
everything serve in important posi-
tions. President Slaton's advice to
keep mouths shut is good for some
other folks as we'll as senators.

One is often asked what counties
comprise what is called Southwest
Georgia. Secretary Adams of the
Southwest Georgia lndutrlal and
Commercial Index says there are "
counties. namely: Baker, Ben Hill,
Berrien, Brooks, Calhoun, Clay Col
quit, Crisp, Decatur, Dooly, Dough-
erty, Early, Grady, Irwin, Lee,
Lowndes, Miller, Mitchell, Qultman,
Randolph, Stewart, Sumter, Terrell,
Thomas, Tiff, Turner, Webster, Will
cox and Worth. The total popula-
ton in 1900 was 1856, 961; total pop
ulation in 1910 was 479,217, an in
crease of 1886 in the ten years.
The growth has been general ana
there are no large cities. or the ii
counties of Georgia which increased
over so per cent in population during
the ten years nine are in southwest
Georgia. This great section, south
of Macon, has One-half as many peO-
pie as had the entire state in 1851.
1t shows how the great piney woods
section is developing and drawing
home-seekers. The drift is towards
the level lands. They are considered
now more desirable for agricultural
purposes. Farmers have adopted the
improved methods of preparation
and cultivation and have introduced
improved machinery.

six months as was done by the act of
1901. The constitution makes the
term OF the supreme court judges six
years. Under the provisions Of the
law of 1901, an election of judges was
held in 1904, and the next election is
due to be in 1912, thus making a
period of eight years between the two
elections. Under the constitution and
law as they were before the change
was made by the legislature, in 1901,
judges Of the supreme court were
elected in 1893 and 1899, and should
have been elected again in 1905 and
1911, and again in 1917.
The proposition that the supreme
court is asked to solve, is whether or
not supreme court judges shall be
elected at the election to be held in
November next, or not until 1917. The
solution is awaited with interest, as a
question Of no small Importance to the
people of South Dakota.

When the boy marksman started to
use a 80 revolver instead OF a % rifle
he was graduated from his under
ground gallery to a nearby revolver
club. Stimulated by the rivalry of fell
low shooters, young Lane made such
rapid strides in his industrious prac-
tice that he was soon in the boy won
der" class. While still in the knee
pants of his teens Lane held three
worlds pistol and revolver records
and was champion indoor pistol shot
of the United States Revolver Assoc
iation. His beating Of the worlds
crack shots in the pistol and revolver
competitions at Stockholm Is now a
bright page in the history Of American
craftsmanship. To get thus far in less

ent sections of the state have been
engaged and two of them will be on
duty every day of the week. They
will meet all trains and will play
daily concerts on the street.
In addition to the unusually attrac-
tive corn palace show, the street car
nival section has not been overlooked.
This part of the event will be greater
and grander than ever. The main
Drag" will be replete with all the at
fractions so dear to the heart of a
carnival goer. Nothing has been
omitted and so great was the demand
for space this year by street attrac-
tons that the committee was enabled
to make an unusually good selection.
The city of Mitchell itself has made
such improvements in the past year
that it will hardly be recognizable.
The new cement paving on Main street
extends from the Milwaukee to the
Northwestern depot and this is flank
ed by the e system of cluster boule-
ward lights which makes the finest ap-
pearing main street in the state.
Every effort has been made and
every convenience for the entertain
ment of the guests of the city corn
palace week has been provided for.
There will be plenty of shade and
water for all and the city will be
thrown open to those who come for
the greatest week of pleasure in the
history of the city.

1912 CORN PALACE

That the 1912 Corn Belt exposition
and corn palace carnival will be the
greatest ever this year-the twentieth
anniversary Of it's creation, is un-
doubted when the good things to be
presented by the corn palace commit
tee and the people Of Mitchell r gen.
orally understood. The people of the
state of South Dakota need no intro
duction to what the Mitchell Corn
Palace is. 1t has been an established
institution in the state for twenty
years and it's reputation as the only
thing of the kind in the world has
gone for and wide over the entire
country. There are very few persons
in the state today, who have not antic-
ipated a trip to this grand entertain
ment at some time or another. To
those of them who have failed to graf
ify that anticipation, the invitation is
extended this year with the assurance
that the whole affair will be put on
with about twice the usual amount of
care and expense.
Chief among the new features this
year is the new $4,000 European
Hippodrome which will consist of
many of the best acts and high class
feature attractions o%btainable. This
magnificent show will be presented
twice daily and will be shown on the
newly enlarged stage of the corn
palace building. The hippodrome will
consist of ten big acts inside and three
grand free street attractions. 1t com
bines the feature acts Of the best
vaudeville in the world with star per-
formers garnered from four corners
of the circus world.
The Congress Carabet orchestra, the
pride of Chicago, will also play two
daily concerts in the corr palace. This
is an aggregation of musicians, every
one of which Is a soloist and a distinct
artist in his line. The concerts by the
orchestra will be i~nterspersed with the
hippodrome show.
The decoration of the corn palace
building will excel anything this year,
ever before attempted. At a cost OF
S.. 100000 1t will present to the BYE. a
thing of beauty and a Joy forever. DR.
ellis Of the Michigan State University
who has had charge Of the decorating
for many years past has again been in
duced to superintend the work. His
design will be beauty and simplicity
Of decoration and the effect is beyond
imagination to describe.
