Bristow Wants Everybody to Have a
Say on Currency Bill.

Washington, Sept. 24.-The admin
istration currency bill from the view
point of the farmer and the grain
merchant was discussed before the
senate banking committee today by a
delegation of merchants from the
northwest who opposed the provisions
of the bill as they expect them to af-
feet the country banks.
F. E. Kenaston, a manufacturer of
farm machinery suggested that the
committee before passing on the bill.
visit the farming and business COM
munities of the west and q become
closely acquainted with business con-
ditfon. Senators BriStow and Reed
seemed to favor the suggestion.
Senator BristOw expressed the opin-
ion that majority of the committee
would support him in a demand that
all bankers, bushes men, merchants
and others desiring to discuss the bill,
be allowed to appear before the COM
mittee. If that course Is followed the
bill may be in the committee at least
a month and probably until Nov. 1st.

LEPROSY'S MENACE.

The presence of leprOsy here and
there in the United States is held by
some to be of little consequence in
comparison with the occurrence of
other disea Ses, such tuberculosis
and typhoid fever. Nevertheless, it is
menace to the public health and
deserves special consideration be-
cause of the possibility of the spread
of the infection, the hopeless nature
of the disease and the aversion of
the public to persons so afflicted.
While the spread of leprosy in recent
wears has not been marked, it must
be remembered that cases of the dis
ease have developed from time to
time in American-born persons, some
of whom had not been outside of the
United States. Of 27S lepers reported
in 1901, 145 were American-born, ac-
cording to Surgeon General Blue of
the United States public health SER
vice. who discusses this question in a
recent issue of The Journal of the
American Medical Association. BY
reason of our interests in the Philip
pine islands and other possessions,
there is danger of the introduction of
leprosy by returning American citi-
zens. Large numbers of soldiers, sail
ors and civil employees spend pro-
longed periods abroad, particularly in
the Philippine islands. where there is
decided danger of contracting the in
lection. The disease may not mani
fest itself on these persons for years
after their return. These facts taken
in connection with our knowledge of
the rise and fall of epidemics in the
a
greater prevalence of the disease fifty
or one hundred years hence, unless
appropriate preventive measures are
instituted. Leprosy should not be re-
garded as of no Importance, neither
should it be an object of unreason-
able aversion on the part of the pub
lie. Education is necessary to over
come this feeling. Public health off,
Gals and physicians should system

of the disease. the extent of its con-
tractibility, and above all. the hui

corded lepers. Every case of leprosy
should be promptly reported to the
proper health authority and, wherever
necessary, the laws should be so
amended and penalties provided for
non-observance. All lepers should be
isolated to prevent the spread of the
disease, but this should be so done as
to promote the comfort and happi-
ness of those so afflicted. On ac-
count of the difficulty of providing
these conditions in towns. counties
and states where single cases of lep-
rosy occur, and because of consequent
inadequate methods of control, there

U. B. CONFERENCE
Over 200 Delegates Present at
Topeka Sessions.
The Program Covers Rest of
Week, Closing Sunday.

In the opening address at the con-
ference of the United Brethren church
held this week in Topeka, Bishop c. j,
Kepheart of Kansas City, who pre-
sides at the meetings. declared eff
cheney one of the requisites of the
Christian life. The session, which is
attended by 200 delegates, opened this
morning in the United Brethren church,
corner of Quincy and Twelfth streets.
The secular world has learned this
lesson of efficiency in the realms of a g
riculture, manufacture and commerce"
said the bishop. I'VE must master the
same lesson as it relates to church
work Am l saying too much when I
state that the work of the local church,
of the annual conference. of the denom-
ination at large should be planned with
the same care and executed with the
same thoroughness as that of the farm,
the manufacturing establishment, the
commercial institution? More-since
the work of the church is inexpressibly
more fundamental than these, so it's
planning and execution should be bet
ter. Every part of our work at this
session is important, because it is the
Kings business Hence let every part
of it be carefully, conScientiously, eff
ficiently done, under the one supreme
motive-the desire to glorify the Faith
er. Efficiency involves purity of mo-
tive, careful planning, zeal and enthu-
siasm in execution"
The elders reports followed the bish-
ops address, and the session adjourned
for luncheon at noon. The same ear
nest enthusiasm that characterized the
last conference, held in Concordia is
noticeable here. DR.. j. H. Snyder of
Lecompton is secretary of the associa-
ton. Rev. I. K. Dierdorf of Republic
City assistant secretary. Following the
reports of the various committees this
afternoon is scheduled an address of
welcome by Mayor r. L. Cofran at four
o'clock. Bishop Kepheart has been
asked to make the response

not been outlined. 1t will last all week
