INVESTIGATES INDIAN HEALTH
DR.. Clark Looks Into Conditions
Prevailing in Minnesota.

NETT LAKE, Mimi, October 19-Dr
L. Clark of the United States public
health service has just visited Nett Lake
and Orr on a tour of examination into
the prevalence of consumption and
trachoma among the Minnesota Indians.
His report shows that not a case Of
trachoma was found among the Boisfort
Indians. At the settlement at Nett Lake
no consumption was found. The Ind ans
at Pelican Point (Orr), however. were
found to be much diseased with tubercu-
losis, more than 20 per cent of those ex-
amined being consumptive. DIR. Clark
has gone to Red Lake agency
The examinations are being made to
verify the reports OF last year that the
Minnesota Indians were much diseased.

control or q presidential election. In 1851
there were members who insisted, while
the wrangle over the vote of Wisconsin
was going on, that there was clearly a
case of the right of the House to con-
slider that the electoral colleges had made
no choice, and therefore to proceed to
the choice of a President In 1876 1t
was again claimed that since the situa-
ton seemed to warrant the conclusion
that there was no actual means provided
Tor determining whether any candidate
had really secured a majority of the cleo
toral vote in that mixed election, it was
time for the House to proceed.
:. ::
So far as real or fancied inhibition
against it might go, there is nothing in
the Constitu-
House Could Proceed ton or the
to Elect a President. WOW nr ~naca
the House holding that the returns show
ed that no choice was made. when there
were doubtful returns. and that it could
therefore refuse to have anything more
to do with the Senate and proceed to the
election Of President. OF course, such
an arbitrary course as this. in the trying
times Of an uncertain presidential cleo
ton, might precipitate the most serious
trouble. The choice by the House will
always fall upon membership just re-
firing from Office, and upon a body which
frequently represents sentiments opposed
to the candidate strongest before the peo-
pie.
Another question that may arise at
some time when there is contested
election, is whether or not a state legis-
lature has right to change the manner
of appointing electors without the assent
of the governor. Suppose, for instance
that state should have a democratic
governor and republican legislature,
and the prospects Of the election were
that it would be too close for party
health. The legislature. if the state were
normally democratic might decide to ap-
point republican electors. This hap
pened in the early days, one time with
out the assent of the governor as to the
manner of choice. Should that question
arise now Congress probably would have
to acquiesce, or else break the precedent
established in 1900.
Again, how are states to be prevented
from casting votes inhibited by the Con-
stitution? That instrument requires that
no elector shall hold position of profit
Yet the repeated ignoring of this pro-
vision has made 1t practically a dead
letter. Congress seems to hold that It is
up to the states to determine the quail
ifications of their electors and that if
they do not keep out electors who have
no constitutional right TO vote, there is
no other tribunal to do so. And yet this
position is answered by the statement
that by the same token it might be as
serted that if the states vote for a Presi-
dent who is a foreigner and ineligible TO
the presidential office under the ConstitlI
ton, there is no tribunal to prevent his
accession. If one elector who held a no.
sition of profit and trust under the gov
eminent had had his vote rejected in
1876 there would after all have been a
tie. and the election would have taken
place in the House.
