HISTORY OF VACCINATION noculation Was Discovered One Hundred and Eighteen
 Years Ago Today

NOW.
 Today vaccination has made smallpox negligible factor in the list of human Ills. It has practically driven it out of existence as scourge of nations. Backed by the authority of law in many coun- tries. medical science has inoculated the civilized races and made a pock-markeS face a rarity today. Before Jenner dis covered vaccination. England reported smallpox cases at the rate of 400 to every l,eoo.ooo Inhabitants. Today the vaccine point has reduced the rate to 20 to each 100000. Universal vaccination is compul- sory in Germany and the rate has fallen to less than two to 1.0oo0o0. It is rated st one case in 100000 people in Sweden today. Knowing that the dread disease has killed more people than have bullets and famine combined, most of the world s governments compel its people to be vac- cinated. All United States soldiers and sailors pass through the experience. All immigrants landing on our shores must be inoculated. Many states have laws that order its school children to be yaccinated. Persons who have not undergone the op- eration in Norway are denied the priv ilege of voting at any election. Both bride and groom in Norway and Sweden must certify that they have ben inoculated be- fore the minister will join them in we'd lock. Every child born in Germany must be vaccinated in its first year of life and again 12 years later.

THEN


 One hundred and eighteen years ago to- day the worlds first vaceivation by a Physician was performed. On that day pr. Edward Jenner, an English doctor who had devoted 30 years to studying the subject, drew lymph from the hand of Sarah Newles. a milkmaid who had coll tracted cowpox while milking COWS. He applied 1t to the arm of an S-year-old boy, named James Philipps. It was the beginning of the conquest of smallpox At that time smallpox was causing one teEth of all the deaths of the human race. It had destroyed or disfigured more than a fourth of mankind. It killed more than 5o,0c0.o00 Europeans during the eighteenth century. The absence of poek- marks in those days was a means of iden- tification. The London police depart ment issued the following description of a criminal sought in the seventeenth cen tury: Thomas .Bayly, short, burly man. fair and fresh-colored. without pock- marks -.n
 Before the discovery of vaccination. smallpox was as prevalent as bronchitis is today. A half century before Jenner gave his discovery to the world the dread disease wiped out 70 per cent of Green lands population in a single year. The Spanish explorers carried 1t to the new world. and three years after Cortez had landed in Mexico over 3,50o.eo0 natives had fallen victims to the scourge. More North American Indians fell before it's invasion than fell before the white man $ gun. Their number is estimated as high us 6eoo.oo0.

Washington. May i3.-Senator Thomas of Colorado democrat. today announced to the Senate that he felt himself bound by the platform to sup port exemption of American coastwise vessels from Panama canal tolls.

 The senator said he did not regard the exemptions as a subsidy and incon- sistsnt with the antisubsidy plank. He urged adoption of his resolution pro- viding for the exemption from tolls of the ships of all nations passing through the canal
 The canal must be made as free as the open ocean," said he. before 1t will accomplish the great purpose for which it was constructed.

TWO CELEST|ALS
 TAKEN IN TOLL BY
 FEDERAL OFFICERS
Young Chinamen Are Now in Jail Charged With Violation of Chinese
 Exclusion Law
By CHARLES Fl. MANDY

By the activities of the representatives of the United States government an in- vasion of "Chinee cheap labor in the Birmingham district has been averted and a duo of almond-eyed celestials are at this moment langushing in the county jail charged with violating the provisions of the Chinese exclusion act. The spe- cific charge is that neither of them has the certificate of admission into the Uni ted States and of Identification required by the federal law
 They are both young and possessed of much intelligence. One claims he has years and that his papers were destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake, he hav- ing resided at that point when that great disaster occurred He further claims to have compiled with all the requirements of the federal law. The other. a youth of about 20 years claims to be the rep resentative of Chinese banking house located at Hongkong, and that he is ex- empt under the provisions of the act which allows Chinese merchants, stu dents, teachers. and travellers to remain and travel without molestation.
 They were arrested at the instance of local Immigration Commissioner Benners, who acted on instructions from the im- migration bureau at Washington. They were arrested by Deputs United States Marshal Willis Bass yesto day and pend ing further instructions from the depart ment were locked up in the county jail
 At the time of the arrest they were peacefully at work at the only employ ment that seems open to them. the gentle art of washee washee. the elder at Ensley, and the scion of the Hongkong banker at Bessemer.
 There is no doubt but that the Chi nese question was a grave one at the time of the passage of the exclusion act of 1879. Unless restricted the Chinese im- migration would have formed grave and apparently insoiube problems: social and political menace on the Pacific coast but the volume of the immigration is the very essence of the danger If it is in- significant it is harmless. It may be that the presence of a couple of .'Chinks'' constitutes great national danger. but it does not seem to be a rational view, especially when the federal census for 1900 shows a great decrease in the Chi- nese population and that of 1910 still greater decrease.
 Still. the local officials are not respon- sihle for the law; it IS for them to en- force it. and if anyone thinks the fed eral laws are>things to be treated lightly or to be ignored he has another fine. large think coming to him. Uncle Sam has way of enforcing the laws on the federal statute books.
