AN ERA OF TOXINS

After all, the true cure for con-
sumption is prevention. This will
be the triumph for mankind-not
the destruction of one germ through
the introduction of another into
the system. Tuberculosis too often
comes from violation of natures
requirements, sometimes termed
All praise to the patient, per-
severing scientists who are work
ing to alleviate suffering; but the
time will come surely when this
reign of the serum, "anti-toxin"
vaccine, will pass as unnecessary.
Compulsory vaccination is not pop
ular; there is grave question
whether it is expedient; certainly
it becomes menace at times to
the healthy. Mans struggle with
disease has been incessant and he
is in process of overcoming the
most formidable, like typhoid,
diphtheria and smallpox.
Years and years ago the wise
Herbert Spencer pointed out the
danger to the British race from
wholesale injections of poison into
the blood of humans, and the war
against compulsory vaccination has
proceeded apace, Every year de-
mand for the abolition of the prac-
tice is becoming more urgent.
Some day not far distant the in
lection by practitioners into the
human system of poisonous cul-
lures will not be requisite and will
not be tolerated. 1t has been dem
onstrated very recently through a
rare discovery that the destruction
of virulent disease through inoc-
ulation brings complications often
fatal-the old rule of action and
reaction Times.

Monte Vista in Danger of Losing a
Sure Source Of Revenue

IL took d large amount OF hard work and de-
termination backed by generous subscription
the part of Monte Visa's citizens to successfully
promote sugar factory at this point.
AT the time of its inception there were num-
Der of other localities offering splendid induce
ments for any company to locate factory in their
neighborhood.
The Monte Vista district was the successful
bidder
1t is weknown fact that beet-growng for
two seasons has not proved profitable for the
farmers of this section. Some of the reasons have
been pointed out and many mistakes in the future
can be avoided.
he sugar business and beet growing are both
profitable in other parts of Colorado and we be-
lieve can be made so here in the San Luis valley.
Our Sugar mill is of the most approved pat
tern, and the Company is managed by men of large
business experience and technical knowledge.
Other beet raising districts are so deeply in
terested in this industry that they would as soon
think of parting with flour mills and railways as to
consider the possibility of losing their sugar mills
The question of whether our local Factory
will remain has been put squarely up to bust
ness men and farmers In order run, mill
must have beets, and unless they are grown in suf-
hcient quantity to justify the operation of a mill
the institution must seek promising field.
For putting real money into circulation, we
know of no industry that excels beet sugar bust
ness. 1t is new to our farmers more outlay is nee
essary in many ways than they are accustomed to-
This community faces serious problem. To
lose this factory would forever put the sugar beet
out of the catalogue of Valley grown products and
produce a business blight that enterprise re-
curing large expenditures could overcome in
decade. Capitalists would look askance at any
project proposed for the Valley requiring large
penditures of money.
Mr. Farmer you who have the savings of
lifetime invested in piece of ground is it to your
advantage to this Sugar factory remain wit
its removal1
Mr. Businessman, will your investment net you
a fair in the event that the Valley farmers
bring in verdict that sugar beets cannot be grown
here at proht3
lis the time to get busy
AND so the railway pass has become extinct.
With its passing, goes of the greatest obstacles
in the way of railway legislation. A peculiar thing
right here nterposes itself viz: Those who have
been the chief benehcares by reason of the pass
and frank are now loudest in denunciaton of rail
way tariffs.
Question for railway commission: Why should
three pounds of merchandise costing originally so
cents be assessed zoe by an express company for
carrying the same from Denver to Monte Vista'
Prize offered for correct solution.

It LOOKS AS IF WHEELER
HAS THE INSIDE TRACK

The report that H. X Bishop, con.
sultlng engineer of the Hawaii belt
road commission, is slated for the
place of superintendent Of public
works, to succeed Marston Campbell,
whose resignation takes effect on
June 1, is not credited by good many
persons who are in position to have
pretty close insight into things
around the Capitol,
According to these guessers, Bishop
has little show to land the job, not
that he may not be fully capable, but
that he has not been here long
enough to become familiar with the
great mass of matters of the depart
ment. They believe that A. c. Wheeler,
at present assistant engineer under
Superintendent Campbell has the in
side track for the job and, moreover,

that the matter has long ago been as
good as decided upon.
Mr.. Wheeler went to the public
works department year or two ago
from the United states engineers
office, and since that time he has
been brought into close contact with
all the details of the office During
the past several months, it is claimed,
he has been undergoing a regular
course Of understudy work with Su-
perintendent Campbell. Scarcely a
meeting, it is said, is held now with
out Wheeler's being present under
one pretext OF another, all of which
puts him in position to become famil-
far, not only with the problems in
the office, but with the persons who
have the principal business with it as
well.
