The progress that medical science
has made In the past half century in
releasing the race from the thralldom
OF epidemic disease constitutes what
I; is perhaps the brightest page In hu-
man history. 1t has been such grad
ual progress that few people realize
its results or have noted its onward
steps. In fact, only those who have
studied the statistics that bear such
remarkable testimony to It's effective
ness appreciate the full meaning of
| 1t all. Before the beginning Of the
; past half century smallpox was about
the only important epidemic disease
! that could be checked effectively and
quickly. II is true that before that
time the gradual acceptance of the
doctrine that cleanliness Is next to
goodness had resulted in rendering
the great plaques Of history less fire.
quent in occurrence and less serious
! In extent, driving them back into the
nations which espoused not the laws
of cleanliness. But there were still
nnconuuerable epidemics OF cholera,
OF bubonic plague, of yellow fever.
and the like, and 1t was not until the
germs Of the principal diseases were
discovered that quarantine laws were
made effective and the fight against
international epidemics successful.
II one is to appreciate the meaning
OF all this let him consider what our
quarantine laws alone have meant to
us. With a tide Of a million immi-
grants coming into our ports annually,
what chance could we have had to
forestall an epidemic Of cholera. when
thousands of victims Of the disease
were seeking embarkation to America,
and where many, despite the utmost
vigilance, would have escaped detec-
ton but for a microscopic examina-
ton OF their intestinal contents? And
with bubonic plague in a dozen or
more ports from which ships sail to
the United states, how should we
escape an epidemic Of that disease If
We did not know how to prevent it?
Day in and day out, year in and year
out. the quarantine officers of the
United States never relax their efforts

mate the hundreds of thousands Of

by the care with which the public

Discovery of Germs.
1t is interesting to compare what
has been done in the way of suppress
ing epidemic diseases with what re-
mains yet to be done. In the past half
century the civilized nations have
discovered the germs of the majority
Of the epidemic diseases. Tubercu-
losis, yellow fever, typhoid fever,
pneumonia, diphtheria, bubonic plag-
ue, typhus fever, spinal meningitis.
hookworm disease, measles, and a
long list of other contagious and in

their mystery and methods OF their

DDS has been limited only by their
lack Of thoroughness.
The progress during the decade be-
tween 1900 and 1910 In the registra-
ton area OF the United States reveals
what America has accomplished by
the spread of the principles Of preven-
tive medicine. There were only two
thirds as many deaths from typhoid
fever in 1910 as there were in 1900,
$50 deaths occurring from 1t out Of
each 100000 of population in 1900 as
compared with 23.5 in 1910. The num-
Der Of deaths from diphtheria was
cut down nearly third. Tubercu-
losis caused 1918 deaths in 1900 where
it caused 1866 deaths in 1910. Dis
eases OF the respiratory system We're
cut down from 1862 In 1900 to 1873
in 1910. And so one might carry the
matio on through the list OF infectious
and contagious diseases.
Applying some of these figures to
the United States as a whole. 1t IL
found that this means that we are
saving more than forty thousand peo-
pie a year from tuberculosis as a re-
suit Of the progress made since 1900
in the fight against II. We have re-
duced the number Of deaths from ty-
phoid by ten thousand year: the
number OF deaths from diphtheria and
Group have fallen twenty thousand a
year. From diseases Of the respira-
tory system there are proportionately
sixty thousand fewer deaths year
than there were only ten years ago.
Taking all causes together. there were
fol, ~, Vta IF a
million more deaths in the country in
1910 than there were In 1900. The
credit belongs to the application of
preventive medicine rather than to
the discovery of it's theories. since the
doctors knew almost as much about
these theories in 1900 as they did ten
years later.
Protection Of Milk.
Aside from quarantine regulations
the most important method which the
sanitarians have invoked in behalf Of
better health has been the protection
of the milk and water supplies OF the
country. 1t has been estimated that
the American citizen consumes % gal
Ions of milk annually. Since milk is
the principal diet OF the sick, aged,
anu tIle IuIdHl HneIHDeIS OI SDClety--
the three classes most susceptible to
infection from intestinal diseases. its
protection has always been one OF the
first aims OF the sanitarian. And no
other sanitary measure that the SCI
ence of preventive medicine has yet
devised has, when fully enforced,
yielded the great returns in public
health that have come through milk
purity regulations.
Water publication has been at
tended by decline of epidemic dis
ease wherever it has been attempted
in cities. 1t has been estimated that
the construction OF the Chicago drain
age canal has saved Chicago $4,000
bereaved homes and over 100000 doc
tors bills in a single decade. Cities

The Occur d'Alene Press, a staunch
Republican newspaper. In very cour-
teous and sensible manner analyses
the position Of Senator Borah. 1t says:
III any doubt existed in the minds
Of the people regarding the position Of
Senator Borah politically he made
himself understood in a speech deliver
ed at Meridian, Idaho. Saturday even
ing. He announced that he is a pro-
gressive Republican ana intends to
make his fight for what he calls pro-
gressive principles within the ranks Of
the Republican party. He announced
that he does not intend to support
President Taft, and may therefore be
classed as Republican boiling the ma
tional ticket. What he will do with
regard to the state ticket he does not
make clear; but that is not SO impor-
tant as his fight against the re-elec-
ton OF President Taft, becauses this
will unquestionably affect the whole
Republican ticket from top to bottom
and possibly accomplish the election of
the Democratic state ticket without in
any way aiding the progressive cause.
Under the circumstance II IL evident
that Senator Borah intends to conduct
his campaign according to his personal
ideas regardless Of party. He refuses
to be bound by party rules or prin-
ciples. His position Is peculiar, as we'll
as untenable. from the fact that party
platforms represent the principles Of
the party and he refuses to indorse
them by proclaiming that his own opin-
ions are superior That his fight
against President Taft is largely per-
sonal Is shown by the fact that he as
sails Taft's Republicanism by asserting
that the president Is not a Republican
and does not support Republican prin-
ciples-yet Taft Is the Republican NOM
inee and stands on the party platform
II his contention were true party plat
forms would be worthless. and II the
senator cannot consistently support the
Republican platform and ticket Of the
national Republican convention he
should not use the organization to fur
Their his own reelection to the senate.
He says that the people nominated him
as Republican candidate at the pri-
mary election. This IL true and when
they nominated him as the Republican
candidate they expected him to support
the Republican ticket. He had no OPP
position in the primary, because the
Republicans OF the state considered him
loyal to the party, while he Is now pro-
claiming himself a supporter Of Roose-
welt and asking to be reelected to the
office by the Republicans. His posi-
ton is inconsistent and will result in
injury to the Republican state and
county tickets, including nominees for
the legislature.
Senator Borah is recognized as one

legislation, and the people Of the state
would be pleased to see him returned.
