nized throughout the territory that
the wise and constructive policy OF

Whereas, The course of the ma
tional administration is recognized
with deep appreciation by the resi-

A large number of Democrats in
Seward attended primary on Tues
day evening and selected six men to
attend the Skagway convention. A
caucus had previously been held
when names were proposed There
was no effort made upon behalf Of
any Congressional candidate, and
the men elected represented the
choice of individuals. The delegates
or holders of proxies will size mp
the situation at the convention and
then determine upon whom to cast
the votes for.

SAYS GOOD WORD
FOR RACE TRACK
LBy Latest MALL

ANNAPOLIS. Md. - Thomas Clyde,
formerly the dire citing head IF the
Clyde Steamship Line, owner Of 20
per cent Of the stock Of the Maryland
Jockey Club and one of the best
known breeders Of thOrOughbreds and
also one of the best-known racing
men in the country, before the SEN
ate committee on judicial proceed
ingS recently, expressed the firm be
lief that some one who wants to Kill
the PimliCO race track is back of the
Hall-Williams anti-gambling bills now
pending in the general assembly.
Mr.. Clyde thoroughly analysed the
bills. He referred to them as trav-
estes on reform laws and called upon
Senator Williams and Delegate Hall
to explain who pulled the sting out of
the tails of their measures since they
repeal every provision under which a
professional gambler may be ade-
Quatcly fined or imprisoned for viO-
lating tie racing law and substitute
the ridiculous penalty Of a fine of
500.
~HerNcharged that the Hart Agnew
anti-race track law OF New York, up
on which the Hall Williams bills are
based, was passed at the instigation
of the pOOlrOOm interests, who de-
Ceivcd Gov. Hughes. The pOolrOOm
men were working for their own fl
nanciaI welfare, Mr. Clyde declared.
while making it appear that they
were trying to get rid Of the race
tracks because the race tracks had
tried to get rid of them.
According to Mr.. Clyde, the pool
rooms flourish on distant or for
eign" racing, and when they do not
have to compete with the race tracks.
They fought the track in New York,
and he intimated that they are fight
ing them here.
Mr. Clyde said that he has raced
horses in England, Ireland, Scotland,
Wales, Canada and all over the Unit
ed States. He has been racing them
as a sporting proposition since he was
II years old, but he never bets.

COLLEGE BALL
PLAYERS Will
Be Considered

NEW DIRK During the next thre"
months the college baseball player
will hold prominent position in the
spring sporting program. nis record
will be followed closely by university
alumni and with even closer scrutiny
by the professional scout for major
league club managers are fully aware
that occasionally a star may be pluck
ed from the varsity diamond PLAY
crs of the calibre of Eddie Collins and
Christy Mathewson are found but in
frequently. There always exists, how
ever the possibility of securing play
Crs who if not capable OF major
league speed at the outset Of their
professional careers, can quickly be
coached and trained to the point
where they are decided acquisition
to big circuit club.
Under professional coaching the
standard Of play in college baseball
has arisen rapidly during the past few
years. Veteran big leaguers have
aided the natural player by advice
and instruction. Little hints on how
to bat: take the ball for a quick
throw and other points Of technique
in the game quickly bring players
with natural qualifications within the
range of major league possibilities
All those connected with the profess
SiOnal game today realize that the COL
, lcge baseball team offers one of the
best recruiting grounds at the dispO-
sal of the big league magnateS. Billy
! Evans, the American League umpire,
a college graduate and close ObserV-
er of every angle of baseball, said re-
Gently in discussing this phase of the
game.
1.-THE college ball player has become
a big factor in the major leagues. Ten
years ago a cOllegian was a rarity in
a big league lineup. A few years ago
majOp league scouts, in search of pro-
missing material gave the college
games very little consideration. At
a big game last summer between two
strong college teams, exactly twelve
major league scouts were in attend
anCe. Quite a testimonial to the va
lue placed on the college player, by
the men whose duty it is to pick up
future big league stars.
''COnnie Mack is the pioneer in the
exploiting Of the college player. The
resOurceful leader of the worlds
champions saw the worth of the col
lege player, long before any other ma
iOT league manager looked on the var.
Sity athlete seriously. | once asked
Mack why he was always so anxious
TO look over the promising college
players. His reply was brief, but
characteristic of the famous leader of
the Athletics. I like players who can
think. Four years of study certainly
ought to improve a fellows intelli-
gence. If it hasn't, it doesn't take me
very long to discover the fact An
other reason why | favor the collie
gian, is because he comes to me free
from any other style of play. 1t is
much easier to get players acCuStOm-
ed to your way of thinking, who have
never been drilled in any other sys-
TEN. Another point in favor of the
COllegian is that he knows pretty we'll
the best rules for keeping in cOndi-
ton. | have no use for players who
fail to keep in shape. lie also has
been taught the real value Of djScip-
line by his professor in the class room
and his coach on the ball field

Leprosy is not highly contagious it is not carried in the air; in most ca sese there has been close contact with a Ieper ovef a long period of time be- fore the infection was acquired and even then infection could have been prevented.
 A recent bulletin of the Public Health Service contains a report of a series of studies made in Moiokai an island of the Hawaiian group, which has long been used as a Ieper colony Father Damien first made it famous Now it is under the control of cur Public Health Service which main tains physicians and laboratories there so that the Iepers are given the best of medical care. At the same time they are allowed to live as ordinary human beings, with their husbands or wives and their children so that sheze is no isolation, no pest-house system
 The report takes up the question of Ieprous infection of the healthy persons in the settlement who have come in more or less close contact with Iepers As the disease takes so long to develop the physicians did not take into consideration any one who came to the settlement after 1908. Two classes of persons had to be con- sidered. First. the so-caIIed seKo- kuas,@ clean persons who have lived with 1epers in close relationship, us- ua1Iy as husbands or wives, some times as mothers or sisters and sec

Yet if somebody with more pity or intelli- gence than the general public under takes to care for leper he runs the risk of sharing his patients ostra- cisnn. A few months ago the Chicago papers were full of the story of 8 young woman who had been nurse in a, 1eper hospital. had tried to come back to ordinary life and found to her dfsn1ay that she was an object of fear to everyone, and that there was no course open to her but a return to the Iepers.

A man recently gave, himself up to the federal health authorities be- a victim of leprosy. The newspapers told how just previously he had stop ped at good hotels to demonstrate how little precaution is taken against the danger of contasd on. He had con- tracted the disease as a solicitor in the Philippines but did not know what it was. Some doctors said it was leprosy, others said it was not. Finally 1t developed into a clear case.
 The man, in giving himself up, is reported to have said that he wanted to emphasize the great need for the provision by the United States govern ment of a place for the treatment of leprosy. The Public Health Service has urged that it be given authority and funds to establish a hospital for leproEy, and a bill for that purpose is nov pending in Congress,

Wis consin and Iowa are the places where Ieprosy is chiefly to be found in this Hcountry. but, isolated cases have been found in almost every state Occa- sionally patientsN appear at clinics in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and Boston. It has been estimated that the number of lepers in the United

 Dread and horror of leprosy are centuries old. Old Hebrew laws against it are impressed on our minds by touching incidents in the life of Jesus, and the Bible stories. convey the idea that 1eprosy is the most Ioathsome of diseases It is usually Aa.m more so than some forms of cancer In early stages 1t is so far from loath- some that 1t is often supposed to be some harmless skin disease until the patient comes intoe the hands of a specialist.
