With the return of President Wilson
to Washington after his short vacation
spent at Cornish n. H., the newspa-
per reporters who accompanied him
have been giving the people of Wash
ington the benefit of their impress
sions of Vermont and New Hamp-
shire. The Washington Herald reporter
became very much interested in the
town of Baltimore, Vermont, the small
est chartered town in the country. He
termed it the office-seekers paradise =
for he claimed that there are only
twelve voters when the whole popula-
ton is in town and that these are not
enough to fill all the offices so that
each voter usually holds at least three
offices and in times of stress it has
been necessary to send committees
down into the valleys to bring in a
few outsiders to hold down some of
the places prescribed by law. The
reporter goes on to say, however, that
just now the town is undergoing a
wonderful experience for Victor Bemis,
feeling that public life was too great
a strain upon him, resigned his three
or four offices recently, and now, for
the first time in its history, Baltimore
has complete set of city officials and
one private citizen. AS an example of
the town 5 willingness to hold out the
hand of cordial welcome to strangers
the ease of Lloyd Josslyn is cited. 1t
seems that Mr.. Josslyn came to Balti-
more from Londonderry about six
years ago and in that short space of
time has been made chief of police,
first and second selectman, and one of
the school directors, so that the news
paper reporters thought that if they
We're going to remain in Vermont any
great length of time they would move
from Windsor to Baltimore and FIND
out what the residents would do for
them.

The county commissioners, who have
been inspecting road conditions in
different sections of the county since
Wednesday, convened at 1 o'clock this
afternoon, and will be in session un-
til tomorrow noon. Road matters will
be considered at the meeting and the
appointment of poll tax collectors in
the incorporated cities and independ-
ent road districts made.
1t is understood, also, that the new
highway law which is causing SO much
discussion among automobile owners,
will be discussed at the meeting
While the commissioners have not
gone into the matter thoroughly there
seemed to be a sentiment among the
members of the board this morning
that the law is unfair to the county,
in that it gives the state highway
commission absolute authority over
automobiles, regulating the speed at
which they may be driven, the license
paid, etc. One member suggested that
it would be as fair to exempt wagons,
buggies and other vehicles from taxa
ton, charging them license, as to
so exempt automobiles and motor
cycles. Prosecuting Attorney John

wages and long hours in great indus
trial establishments is one of the chief
reasons for the spread of tuberculosis
in this country, according to Surgeon
B. S. Warren of the United States
public health and marine hospital
service, who was one of the principal
speakers today before the second day s
session of the convention of the ma
tional association for the prevention
of tuberculosis. Dr. Warren declared
that good wages and short hours
have a marked and favorable effect on
the death rate from tuberculosis by
producing a better standard of living
among the workmen. Beginning with
the statement that the problem of the
prevention of tuberculosis is an eco
nomic one, dependent upon the adjust
ment of industrial relations between
the laborer and the employer, DR..
Warren quoted from census bureau
report which showed that in those in
dustries where the condition of the

The funeral of the late William

Moscow friends of Mr.. Deary and his
estimable family, who wish to attend

PROTEST 0E JAPAN IS
FILED WITH GOVERNMENT

1t is believed here that the referen-
dunn movement being argued by Theo-
dore Bell of San Francisco m~y have
the effect of postponing the entire
question for period long enough for
the United States and Japan to arrive
at an understanding, or perhaps nego-
tiate a new treaty covering disputed
points.
While Secretary Bryan declined to
discuss the referendum and White
House officials were equally reticent,
it is known that friends of the admin
istration have told the president that
there would be no difficulty in getting
sufficient signers in California to COM
pei a referendum at the polls on the
anti-alien bill.

employees is the least satisfactory, the
death rate is highest.
i Statistics prove" said DR.. Warren,
that while some occupations of them
selves are causes of high death rates,
tuberculosis is not in this sense an
occupational disease, but rather one
due to inadequate compensation, with
all that means in the standards of
living. Many government employees
are today working under insanitary
conditions, but at the same time the
death rate among these men is very
low because the rate of pay is higher
innd the holidays and half holidays the
government workmen get come with
great frequency. If standards as high
as those prevailing in government
work places prevailed in the various
private industries, the death rate from
tuberculosis among workmen would
be greatly lower"
| DR.. Charles White, medical director
Of the tuberculosis league of Pitts
burg, declared that the burning ques-
ton OF the day is whether tubercu-
losis is sociological or a medical
problem.
I'VE are seeking to discover" said
Dr. White, ''if the sociologist should
employ the doctor or the doctor en-
'ploy the social worker; or, will the
time come when all doctors and nurses
will be social workers and all social
workers doctors and nurses? The
social worker may be called the drum
beater before the booth. He shouts
to the program ready prepared. He
shifts his work from tuberculosis to
child hygiene, social diseases, and as
sociated charities as readily as the
stock company actor changes his play;
and yet the man has no message who
is too fastidious to beat the drum be-
fore the door of the booth. The rea-
son for the social worker in tuber-
culosis will be found in the exclusion
of tuberculosis from the general hos
pitals and other places of medical
teaching, and the subsequent ignor-
ance of doctors and nurses on the
whole question of this malady as a
public health problem. The majority I
of problems in connection with the |
tuberculosis question such as immun |
ity, heredity, etc., are medical in their I
nature and must be solved by those /
of medical training The social side
of the question comes down to more
and better food and better living con-
ditions"

FATE OF TARIFF BILL
UNCERTAIN In SENATE

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Under
wood tariff bill which passed the
house late yesterday afternoon
reached the senate shortly before
o'clock today.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
Immediately moved that the measure
be laid before the senate.
The tariff fight shifts from the
house with it's overwhelming demo-
cratic majority to the senate, where
the party's slim majority of six al
ready has been reduced, as far as this
bill is concerned, to four. Unless SEN
ltors familiar with the progress OF
such legislation are mistaken there is
lnow little prospect of a final vote on
1.-The bill before August /.
The bills passage through the SEN
ate will be fought at every step by
Republicans. Leaders of the democrats
on the senate finance committee, which
will handle the bill, expressed the be-
lief today that it would go through
in practically the same form as 1t
passed the house and that their small
majority would stand firm to the last.
Democratic leaders acknowledge
that the two senators from Louisiana
will not accept the sugar schedule and
that they might be willing to combine
with others to defeat the whole bill.

about the senate that the democrats
intend to allow one more senator to

The commissioners drove to Deary
yesterday with G. B. Green, president
of the good roads committee of the
chamber of commerce, and viewed the
proposed Improvement in the road
south from Deary toward Texas ridge
and Bovill. A survey has been order
ed. The strip of highway to be i'm
lproved is about four miles in length
and will follow water grade, cutting
out a number of hills on the present
route.
The petition of Juliaetta residents
for aid in improving the road which
was washed out during the recent
high water will also be considered
The farmers living along the thor
oughfare have raised $1,000 by private
subscription to be applied on the road,
which it is estimated will cost ap
proximately $4,000 Some money will
also be available from the road dis
trict fund. 1t is proposed to survey
the road, which now follows the

which overfows during the spring
season, on the bench land above the

FRIEDMAN CURE NOT
FAVORED BY PHYSICIANS

WASHINGTON, May "a practical
denunciation of the claims of the
friedman discovery for the cure oi
tuberculosis, though cautiously ex-
pressed, was voiced before the cOnven-
tion of the association for the study
and prevention of tuberculosis by Dr.
John Anderson of the United States
health service, in report signed by
DR.. A. M. Stimson, Anderson's assoc
late as government Investigator. The
report says in part:
'sWe believe at the present time we
opinion of the Friedman discovery
based on the present condition of the
patients we have observed Without
presenting in detail the condition of
the patients observed we are in a po-
sition to state that the effects thus far
observed do not justify that con-
fidence in the remedy which was in
spired by the widespread publicity
given the cure"
Behind the report of Anderson and
Stimson was an undercurrent of
criticism of Dr. friedman on the
part of the government physicians.
They say the reticence and vacillation
of DR.. friedman has not in any way
been allowed to interfere with their
own judgment of the effects of his rem
edy as observed by them.
