the department of health, DR.. G. B. Young, commits

1t contains charts showing the distribution of tu-
berculoss by wards in the city of Chicago for
1919, giving the rate for each ward. According
this bulletin, there 75I3 discovered
during the year 1872 and there $3.50 tuberculosis
deaths. The rate for the whole city was 327.o4
per hundred thousand of population, which
slight decrease the preceding year, 1911 Seven
teen of the thrtyfve wards of the city have case
rate above the average of the whole city, the ward
showing the highest rate being the First ward,
with rate of $500 per hundred thousand of popua-
ton Then follows closely the Eighteenth ward with
7ooo5 with the Twenty-irst and Twenty-second
wards close competitors.
The conclusions drawn by the health department
and warranted by the facts that the rate of
tuberculosis is highest in those wards where the hous
ing conditions are bad. The department has grouped
the wards according to their general sanitary status
and it shows that the group under the head Lodging
House and Cheap Boarding House Wards" presents
the highest case rate, showing 72o cases to one hum
dred thousand of population. What is classed
"Poor Dwelling Conditions follows next with $685.
The wards under the head, "Fair Dwelling Condi-
tions," show rate of $780, Good Dwelling Con-
dtons show rate of 2ooo4 and the wards under the
head "Semi-Suburban Conditions" show the smallest

Saloon Wards Show Highest Case Rate
The health department in this report says moth
ing about the relationship of alcohol tuberculosis
but studying the chart given by the department
is struck with the fact that the wards showing the
largest per thousand the wards where the
saloons most numerous. Those wards showing
the lowest case rate the wards wherein found
the Prohibition districts. For instance, the Thirty
third ward with the smallest case rate recorded has
dry Austin within it's boundaries The Thirty-second
with rate of only I6o contains Englewood; the
Twenty-sixth, with rate of Io2, contains dry
Rogers Park; the Twenty-hfth, with rate of
I63, contains Lakevew with large area of dry ter
rtory; the Ninth ward showing rate of 1853,
contains part of Prohibition Hyde Park; both the
Seventh and Sixth wards have large of dry ter
rtory, being part of Hyde Park and both show very
small rates. In striking contrast the saloon

It might be argued that these observations on the
tuberculosis case rates. taken with reference to oca
ton of saloons in the city, prove nothing against the
saloon as factor causing tuberculosis that people
living in the wards where saloons not so numerous
are necessarily total absta1ners. And 1t may be
answered that it is reasonable to assume that drink
ING is heaviest where saloons the most numerous
These saloon wards the can-rushing' wards, and
that there is close relationship between alcoholism
and tuberculosis is fact proven by careful scientific
investigation which has been made in various parts of
the country.
Scientific Investigation Shows Alcohol
Contributing Factor.
For instance the Scientific Temperance Journal
referring statistics compiled by the Henry Phipps
Institute in Philadelphia for the treatment of tubercu-
1osis, says
Mortality is 100 per cent higher among alcoholics 80
Der cent higher of alcoholic parentage Improvement
80 per greater nonalcohoc than in alcoholics and
per those without than those with alcoholic
parents.
More recently the Anti-Tubercuosis League Of
Cincinnati has been making Investigations to discover
the leading of consumption in those sections of
the city where it is most prevalent:
The section of the city investigated was divided into four
parts In section the investigators canvassed 22 families

Now that the Legislature has ad-

to the gubernatorial topic. and states.

ing who viii be the democratic can
didate for governor next year.
Elm connection with this talk no
name is heard with more persistency
than that Of Bob Williams. Judge
Williams has held a center place In
the public eye since long before state
hood. He fought yaliantly for state
hood long before that dream was re-
Constitutional Convention and left his
impress on every important section
I'm that document. When the state
was admitted to the UniSn he became
its first chief justice.
Beginning with statehood every
time we have big election, to choose
either "A governor or a United States
Senator, or both, somehow the name
of Bob Williams bobs up. What
about Bob Williams?" has grown to
be familiar question when conver
sation veers to some big question of
public honor or trust or when the
state is about to adopt policy, either
civil or political. Meanwhile Judge
Williams has gone serenely on, ap'
parently engrossed with his work on
the supreme bench, modestly but firm
ly dealing out justice and laying down
a course OF procedure which will be
followed by the generations to come,
Thus far his work on the bench has
been Of more lasting effect upon the
have been had he held any other POSI-.
ton.
The Judge has certainly made good
In spite of his early patches and pow
erty, and has achieved a most lofty
position in his chosen state, He
has always been a very hard worker;
a man of dynamic energy apd posi-
tive Jpinions. He has the courage
to stand for what he regards right;
he stands out ruggedly for the honest
straightforward statesmanlike things
in politics.
Away back decade ago, Judge X.
l.. Williams was an active factor In
Indian Territory politics. He was the
democratic national committeeman
when place on the national commit
tee was practically the only represen.
tation the eastern part Of the state
had In the uivil government Of the
country. When the Constitutional
Convention was called he was elected
as delegate. He became one of the
foremost leaders OF that great body
of men, and his handiwork may be
seen by the student in every vital de-
partment of the organic law OF the
state. AS member OF the Consti'
tutional Convention he was paced on
the committees on judiciary. revenue
and. taxation. legislative department,
primary elections, legal advisory and
public service corporation, and of the
last two he was chairman. He was the
author Of practically all the construc.
tive provisions inaugurated in Article
