The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1913-06-20

The Beaverton valley road from
Friday Harbor to Roche Harbor ov-
er Cady mountain, has just been
completed. The road was petition
ed for two years ago. The road is
shortened by half a mile. It is in
good condition as far as Alfred
Lawson's gate and the other two
miles will probably be finished next
year. There was picnic last Fri
day for the persons who picked up
the rock from the road and every
one had a good time.

ORIGIN OF CITY TYPHOID.

We are coming to the season of the
year usually marked in our cities by
the annual increase of typhoid, attri-
buted to infectious materials carried
by freshets into water supplies There
has recently been a protest against
what is called the rural origin of ty-
phoid.
Typhoid is usually considered to be
mainly, If not almost entirely, wa
ter-borne disease. There is no doubt
that drinking water has been respon-
sible for the great majority Of cases
In large cities. Yet the water seems
to be slightly. if at all responsible for
typhoid in some cities.
The more carefully the sources of
typhoid infections have been studied,
the more frequently has milk been
discovered TO be the chief vehicle of
infection. Efforts at control have re-
suited in a decided improvement. but
the education of the dairyman is a
slow process. and dairy farming is
still largely in the hands of the ignor-
ant. Statistics show that one-fourth of
all the city's typhoid infections are
Of this origin. While it is impossible
to give any exact figures, over one
half of the TYPHOID infections are of
rural origin.
The problem in one city is probab-
ly the same as that in another. As
our knowledge Of sanitation grows we
realize that the health of the individ-
ual depends largely on the communi-
ly in which he lives, and that the
health depends to great extent on
the health of our communities having
commercial and other relations with
it.
While Martinsburg is engaged at
this time in a fight for better health
stop and think about the origin of
typhoid fever and how to prevent it?
An up.to-date sewerage system will
be the greatest blessing the city ever
enjoyed, and the good derived from
it could never be told Therefore, 'et
every citizen be atva TO a sense of
his duty and lend whatever he can
toward securing for the city this great
Improvement. ....

THE TARIFF.

SemfCentennial and Golden Jubilee
at Wheeling during the week of June
1921 will be Founders Day" This
will be an occasion for the gathering
of the survivors Of the conventions
which met in 1851 and declared in
favor of the division of the old state
and the formation of a new common
wealth Recognizing that the dele
gates to these conventions were the
veritable fathers of the community of
counties now comprising the state of
West Virginia the Wheeling commit
tee has arranged for very elaborate
exercises on Friday June 20, in com
memoraticn of the Founders.
The program for these exercises is
in the hands of a committee com
posed of Hon w P. Hubbard, J. c.
Brady and DR.. S. l.. Jepson, all Of
whom We're residents of Wheeling
when West Virginia was born The
services of the settlers of the state
will be given fun recognition in the
program being prepared by this com
mittee
Among the survivors of the conyen-
ton held at Wheeling fifty years ago
are the following; Hon. John j.
Davis, Clarksburg; Dr. W. l. Grant
Grafton; Alpheus Garrison, Mononga-
liza county; Col George r. Latham,

SUNDA YSERv|CE
Mr.. Pearson Outlines His Plan of
Work-Religious Meeting viii
Be Continued.


The regular services at the Y. M.
&c. A. were held Sunday afternoon at
3 o'clock with the new executive, w.
r. Pearson IN charge. While the at
tendance was small the interested
manifested was Of such character to
show that a new era has dawned for
the Y. NJ. C. A. and that better things
are In store for IT,
After the song service led by Mr..
Edward S. Rutledeg, Mr.. Pearson
made brief address In which he out
lined his plan of work for the spring
and summer. He will proceed at once
to organize wrestling clubs and at a
later date will give tournament and
offer prizes in the first, second and
third class weights. To stimulate in
terest the prizes will be given by the
merchants and this is believed will
cause the young men and boys to
show more interest in this particular
sport
While the wrestling classes are at
work other athletic sport will not be
overlooked Indoor games will be
revived and Mr. Pearson hopes to
create more interest in them than has
heretofore been in evidence.
Announcement was also made that
the new water heater will be installed
this week. 1t will have a capacity of
500 gallons an hour, which will be suf-
feient to fill the tubs, showers and
pools This is considered very neces-
sary for athletic work, and all will
appreciate this improvement.
For the present it is the intention
Of the new executive to maintain the
Sunday services, and cordial invita-
ton is extended to all So far the
speaker has not been selected for next
Sunday, but the announcement will
be made in a few days.

THE ENTERING.WEDeE.

Something more than the assent Of
the President is needed TO exempt la
Dor and agriculture from the penalties
of the Antitrust law Congress pass
ed such a measure in the last days OF
the Taft Administration, but it was re-
toed 1t was nulli1ed on the ground
that 1t was unconstitutional, and that
Congress and President no less than
the courts were sworn to obey the
Constitution.
The report that President Wilson
and Attorney-General McReynolds
are favorable TO the action requires
confirmation. They know that laws
must be of general application. They
know that what is a crime for enc
man must be a crime for all men.
THEY know that in a celebrated case
from Illinois, where in local antitrust
legislation ii was attempted to Ii
cense farmers and workingmen to do
what was forbidden to merchants and
manufacturers, the Supreme Court OF
the United States interviewed in be
half of equal responsibility
Furthermore, we are confident that
both OF these gentlemen know that
not all of those who want to amend
the Antitrust law are the very dear
friends of farmers and workingmen.
There are powerful interests so in
tent upon splitting that act wide open
that they are prepared as an entering
wedge TO support any class PROPOSE
ton whatever. They have had to be
watched for more than twenty years
They will have to be watched for more
than twenty years longer
If monopoly combination and con
spiracy are Objectionable in the bank
and counting-room they are objeet IN
able also ON the farm and in the Ia
Dor union.
Ii we intend to sass laws which
some people must obey and others
need not We must first get rid of the
Constitution or stihe its voice in the
courts
In so doing let no one imagine that
the trusts will be found with any GER
tainty among those who obey. A law
that has been ripped is obeyed by

Spring is naturally enough, the
time when women pay more attep-
ton to their clothes than at possibly
any ether season of the year. AS ey-
cry one knows, it is because the world
itself is putting on new garb, a
more cheerful one than she has been
wearing for many months, and 4
that makes all earthly clothes look
sad and worn. AS a consequence,
mere mortals do their best to Aeep up
with nature. and the spring fashions
are the result.
The subject of clothes seems to be
a modern one to modern women, but
one is tempted to suppose that ancient
Rome had just as warm discussions
among her women and her men, her
fashion makers and such-as to the
fitness and the morality of clothes.
Modern women, 1t seems, will if left
alone, make their fashions more SEN

pose, the women who are interested

gowns at modest length with regard
to hem and neck, shoes of a sensible
