Sanitary Science in the

Hearst's magazine contains the fol-
lowing interesting facts concerning
the elimination of small pox in the
Philippines:

board of health for the Philippine

Vaccination for smallpox. as every
body knows, was introduced by JenneI

cination the prediction was freely
made that smallpox would be alto
gether eliminated from the world
within a few decades. The prediction
was so nearly fulfilled that smallpox
became a rare disease. But just be-
cause vaccination had SO nearly elimi-
mated the malady, the malady itself
was no longer feared. and the man
ner of its subjugation was in many
quarters all but forgotten.
Instead OF taking the relatively
simple steps that would be required to
complete the elimination of smallpox.
the general public became Indifferent
to the disease, and in some quarters,
by a curious paradox, societies were
formed to Slntagonize the practice of
vaccinations So a few residual cases

such is the case Is a reproach to hu-

connection with the fact that smallpox
has never been eliminated in the
United States, affords fine object
lesson OF the difference between the
compulsory application Of sanitary
science, as it exists in the Philippines,
and the voluntary application Of the
same smallpox preventative In the
United States.
In the Philippines, vaccination Is
compulsory. smallpox is now
unknown. The same condition exists
in Germany.
In the United States we leave such
things to the voluntary will of our

pleasure and pardonable pride in the
announcement that Alabama captured
the frst great corn prize at the big

ago the championship yield OF corn

Citizens Should Demand
Needed Legislation.

Should the next legislature fail to
enact at least large part of the re-
form legislation desired by the people
OF this state, this omission will be
largely due to the apathy and indiffer-
ence of the voters themselves With
perhaps here and there an isolated ex-
ception, the legislature is composed Of
men of intelligence and energy. Most
Of them perhaps would like to remain
IN public life and none of them cares
to commit political suicide.
The voters OF Florida, in all the
cities and counties, individually and
collectively. should tell their senator's
and representatives what they want In
the way of constructive and progress
sive legislation. 1t is not putting the
matter too strong to say they should
not only make their desires known,
but they should demand the enact
n1ent Of needed measures.
Gov. Trammell in his speeches, LETT
ters and messages, has made his po-
sition clear and he may be expected
to do all he reasonably can to get
much reform legislation through.
The session is not long and a con-
siderable part Of the time win necess-
sarily be occupied with the consider
alton of local bills and purely routine
matters. Yet with practical unanimity
of opinion and with the aid of a
friendly governor. there will be sufi-
eient time to carry out full program
of needed new laws.
In general way, the great majority
of Florida people want local self-gov-
eminent for towns and cities.
They demand the abolition of the
fee system in compromising public Of
flcials.
They want the convict lease system
entirely eradicated.
They desire steps taken for a new
constitution.
The enactment of corrupt prac-
tees act is demanded.
Some kind of immigration bureau
should be established. In other words
the wonderful resources of Florida
should be systematically and truthfully
advertised to the world and at the
same time the fake land schemes
should be putt out Of commission.
The direct primary law should be
strengthened amended and improved
