Mathewson--that is, men of the craft
and courage of this particular Mathew
son--there would have been a prolonged
battle.
That it was not prolonged battle
for the mastery is, in some respects, sat
isfactory, inasmuch as it settles for the
time being at least that the games in
the worlds series are fixed" that the
players in secret arrange it among them
selves so that the decision shall be con
tinued, to or near to, the limit of the
seven games, in order that the manage
ments of the two teams might receive
the increased income which is sure to
result from extra games and sustained
interest. That rumor is heard year aft
er year in spite of the fact that re-
Gently rule was adopted which pro-
hibits the sharing of the profits by the
players after four games have been
played. This year the idle rumor was
set at rest before it could be well start
ed on its mission of reproach. So the
Philadelphia Athletics did a double work
in their quick and decisive victory. Hail

force at the present time. The 'nimi-
grafton laws also forbid the landing of
lepers, so that there is ample authority
for the exclusion from this country of
those afflicted with the disease, although
on account of its long period of develop
ment the possibility OF the entry of oc-
casional cases must be recognized. The
immigration laws provide that any alien
afflicted with leprosy- may be deported
at any time within three years after his
arrival. The federal government is thus
able, by deportation, to relieve the state
of the burden of the care of those who
may have been overlooked at the time
OF their entrance into this country. IN
1891 the surgeon general of the public
health service recommended the estah-
lishment of national leper hospital
by the federal government The need
OF such an institution still exists. Fed
eral, state and municipal health author
tiles have for years urged the estab-
lishment Of national leper home. In
the meantime. the public health service
is studying leprosy in the hope OF de-
vising methods of prevention and cure,
so that this serious problem may be-
properly solved.

THE NEW WORLD BEATERs.

The great tide of interest which has
been directed toward the worlds cham
pionship baseball series may now be
directed to other and perhaps more es-
sential matters of everyday life in the
United States, with the opinion positive
in the minds of several millions of peo-
pie who have followed the progress of
the series more or less closely that the
laurels of victory were placed on the
superior team. There is no doubt that
the Philadelphia team of the American
league was far and away the better
OF the two teams engaged in the strain
ing battle last week. 1t was shown in
the final scores of the entire groups
OF players and it was shown by the in
dividual performances of the members
of those groups. The Athletics, man
for man, outplayed the New York Giants
in the five games which constituted the
series in practically every position which
goes to make up the nine of the regular
game of baseball, unless perhaps one
were to make one or two exceptions, in
which the New York representatives per-
formed as well as did the representa-
tives of the winning combination, not
ably that of pitcher Mathewson of the
defeated team. Had there been more

THE yoLTuRNo TRAGEDY.

II is a marked tribute to modern etfi-
cheney that 10 ocean liners heard and
responded to the wireless distress sig
nails which were sent out over the waves
by the doomed steamship Volturno OF
the Uranium line one late afternoon
last week, bringing succor to the hun
dreds of threatened passengers and
crewmen who were being driven back by
the progress of flames that started be-
meath the decks. That all, or nearly
all, the persons on board the Volturno
were not saved was due to conditions
of the sea which prevented prompt work
At rescue as soon as the succoring ships
had reached the spot, it being impossible
to get near the fire-stricken vessel be-
cause of the mountainous seas that were
breaking and threatening to smash the
lifeboats against the sides of the ship,
az indeed did happen in few cases
when the most venturesome OF the peo1
pie on the volturno essayed the perilous
launching of the small boats. Given
more favorable sea conditions. and all
the persons remaining aboard when the
Carmania and her sister ships arrived
might have been taken off as soon as
the sea quieted, as it did within few
hours. so that over 500 were taken off
and distributed among the ships which
came to the rescue. But the main fact
stands out saliently that the stricken
ship was able to communicate with ocean
going ships, the nearest Of which was
perhaps rs miles away, and that 10 OF
them came and stood by until weather
conditions had moderated so that at
tempts at lifeboat rescue would not have
been madness. What remarkable pic
ture it must have madel Ten great
ships steaming with all possible speed
to the point from whence came the call.
And what a welcome picture to the dis
tressed souls aboard the liner which was
being engulfed in famesl And all this
was due to that most remarkable de-
velopment in scientific discovery-the
wireless method of telegraphing. Sure
ly the sea is losing much of its terrors
through the application of this discovery.
Had it not been for the wireless, prob
ably the loss of life, terrible as it was,
would have been doubled, perhaps
tripled.

LEpRoSY IN UNITED STATES.
Control of the Disease Is Problem o
National Importance.

Leprosy exists in many states and IN
all of our island possessions. The con-
all of our island possessions. The con-
tional importance, in the opinion OF Sur
geon- General Rupert Blue, of the United
States public health service. In recent
issue of The Journal of the American
Medical Association, DIR. Blue discusses
in detail its existence and the posi-
bility of its control. This disease, which
has afflicted mankind since the begin
ming of history and which most persons
Know of only through the Bible, was
undoubtedly introduced into the United
States from abroad, but the exact time
of its first appearance in this country
is uncertain. Cases have been imported
into the Gulf states through seaports,
to the Pacific coast through Chinese inn
migration and to the northern central
states by Scandinavian immigration. In
some of these states the disease was evil
IDENTIFY more common many years ago
than at the present time. In Louisiana,
where no record is found of leprosy l40
wears ago. the number of leprous beg
gars on the streets of New Orleans i'll
1856 was so great that the city author
tiles had to isolate them in an institu-
ton outside of the city. On account OF
the lack OF records of death and disease
in MANY of our states the extent OF lep-
ROSY in the United States cannot be ae-
curatelv estimated A report made by
the United States marine hospital serv-
ice some years ago showed 27S cases in
the United States. In 1909 reports were
obtained of 1879 cases in thirteen of the
states, 764 in Hawaii, II in Porto Rico,
and 1854 in the Philippine Islands. In
1912, l46 cases were reported in the
United States, 500 cases in Hawaii, 2S
in Porto Rico and 2,754 in the Philip
pines, making total of 1924 officially
reported cases in the United States and
its possessions. On account of the loath-
some character of the disease, the help
lessness of those afflicted with it, and
the public dread regarding it, leprosy
has been the subject of consideration by
the federal government for many years.
In 1889 a regulation was issued for
bidding the entry of any vessel to any
port of the United States without a Ger
tifieate from the proper official showing
that no case of leprosy was to be found
on board. Lepers apprehended and de-
tanned at quarantine were deported TO
the foreign country from which they
came. This regulation is practically in

working for vermont,s Growth.

The Barre Times prints an editorial
on "a New Hotel Spirit in Vermont IN
which it treats of the cooperation that
has developed in this line of business for
the betterment not only of itself but OF
Vermont at large. There is good deal
to this.
The hotels have united in several
ways, primarily for the purpose of Sc
curing financial benefit but, necessarily,
for the good of the entire state. The
more people who tour Vermont, the bet
ter for all classes of business. Indeed,
frequent cases of the securing OF perma-
nent residents through just such visits
TO the state, have occurred.
One of the most magnificent places at
Manchester has been established during
the past two or three years, as it were
by accident. Wealthy people in auto
MODELLING through the state were attract
ed by the beauty of the place, and sur
rounding scenery and, as consequence,
saw more it it. A few days driving set
tied their minds As result they
bought property and have since ex-
pended hundreds of thousands of dollars
in the making of one of the finest coun-
try estates in New England.
Automobile tourists leave money for
practically everybody in business along
their route. If such tourists are pleased,
through their influence their acquaint-
ances are attracted. No one can tell
when a view Of things. coupled with
kindly hospitality, will bring back mani
fold returns, just like the case cited in
Manchester.
The hotels, linked together in their as
sociations, are doing perhaps more than
any other forces to increase the number
of people visiting Vermont, with the sole
exception of the railway companies. The
Vermont Publicity association Is another
force, whose cumulative efforts Yer
monters will realize more from year to
year in the actual work of increasing
the population and bringing new indus
tries into the state. The commercial or

cities in Vermont, including Rutland, are

"Peg o. NV Heart

The delicious Irish wit in "Peg o. Ny
Heart" which Oliver Morosco is sending
to Barre where it will make its initial
local appearance at the opera house, is
the kind one often reads about, but
rarely meets face to face, as it were.
II ripples, scintillates, flashes like sun
light upon stream, slips behind cloud,
with every promise of rain, and just as
the tears are about to run over. the
captivating brogue and the irresistible
bumor, kindly in intent, come to the sur
face and are welcomed with smiles and
laughter.
Not in years has the stage presented
a character so lovable, so sincere, so
human, so happy, so sorrowful, so
sturdy. so boyish, SO girlish in tender
ness and sympathy, as Peg O My
Heart"
For nearly year the j. Hartley Man
ners comedy of love, youth and laugh
ter has packed the beautiful Cort thea
tire, and proven that the blase New
Yorker appreciates honor, honesty, puri-
ty, truth, girlhood and sympathizes with
a longing for kindness and love.
The human qualities OF peg. O. My
Heart" constitute its greatest charm.
One cannot help falling in love with the
little Irish-American girl, ruthlessly
torn from an environment which she
loves.--and which is her very existence
and hurled into the family life of her
snobbshly polite ,aristocratic English
relatives, whose treatment wounds Peg
until her gentle soul bleeds and sorrow
threatens to o'erwhelm her.
Peg O. My Heart" is the most lauded
play on the stage to-day and will be
sen here on Thursday, Oct, 10th. Mr..
Morosco has selected a carefully bal
anced cast, one equal in every way to

CURRENT COMMENT
DR.. Flexner's Discovery.

The discovery by DR.. Flexner OF the
germ of infantile paralysis may receive
less than its due of public attention be-
cause Of the continued prominence at the
Rockefeller institute. Yet the isolation
OF the micro organism is the first real
step in the treatment sof this dread
sickness.
Modern medicine regards practical
ly all contagious diseases as OF bacteria
logical origin, even If the microbe, AS
in the case of scarlet fever mumps and
other infections, has remained undis-
covered. Not until the germ has been
found and isolated can the disease be
scientifically studied. The tremendous
progress in the treatment OF diphtherla,
typhoid and cerebro-spinal meningitis all
hinges on the organisms. For each dis
ease n serum or antitoxin has resulted,
which acts either as a prophylactic to
ward off the disease entirely or multi
fies its poisons once they have entered
the human system.
The researches in poliomyelitis have
been along these lines. But so minute
was the germ that up to the present
il defied detection The discovery OF
Rosenau, Sheppard and Brues at Har-
ward medical school that the disease
could be transmitted by the bite of the
stable-hy, and the previous findings OF
Flexner that infection probably entered
through the nasal and oral passages,
though hitherto valuable, have now be-
come insignificant beside DIR. Flexners
latest discovery.
Few diseases have caused more mis-
cry than poliomyelitis. Children for the
most part, have been its victims, and
the mental anguish of parents was added
to the physical pain of their loved ones,
Death or partial paralysis was the only
prospect in very few cases. 1t is not
raising false hopes to predict that the
man who gave the world the serum
which reduced the mortality in cerebro-
spinal meningitis from so to 90 per cent
will soon produce an antidote for in
fantile paralysis also.--Boston Herald.

tunity to display her glorious contralto
voice, added to which is rare histronic
ability.
The other parts in the opera will all
be sung by artists of reputation. The
