NO ARGUMENT.

One person out of every 200 in the
United States contracted typhoid few
er in the year 1908, according to state
ments set forth in the journal of the
American Medical association, says
the Pueblo Chieftain. During the year
1918 there was only one case of ty-
phus in the United States army Of
10000 men. And yet there are those
who oppose incubation.
On the basis established for com.
piling the figures for 1908 the num-
ber of cases in the United States
army would be $50. The United
States census for 1900 gives the av-
erage typhoid death rate as 1856 per
hundred thousand inhabitants. One
medical authority states that in this
country there are comparatively few
communities of 1000 inhabitants or
more which during the period of say
twelve consecutive months within the
last decade have been entirely free
from typhoid fever In 1908 the
death toll from typhoid fever was no
less than $500 in the United States.
The record for the army is warn
ing to the rest of the people of the
United States. There incubation is
compulsory, and see the results There
is no argument against it. The dis
appearance of the disease is due to
inoculation of all recruits as they en-
ter the service. The general sanitary
condition of the posts for the past
few years is maintained at the same
level, but it must be recalled that
soldiers on entering the army by no
means lose touch with civil life. They
participate in all features of civilian
life, just as any other travellers or
visitors, and so are exposed to the
same chances of infection that civil
ians incur. The fact that a popula
tion of ninety thousand at most
suspectible age has practically no ty
phoid can be accounted for only by
the immunity conferred by the pro.
phylactic inoculation. The extension
OF this measure to certain phases of
civil life is definitely indicated for
adolescents who have not had the
fever, in the presence of an epidemic,
or for those leaving their homes for
travel or for life in the country. Is
there no value in this procedure to
railroads and other industrial con-
Germs that employ armies Of skilled
labor, as well as to the individual on
farms and railroads whose family ~
dependent on his manual labor for
livelihood? The way has been shown
for reducing greatly the three hun
dred thousand cases per annum in
this country by q procedure causing
less Inconvenience than vaccination.

WAR ZONE DANGERS.

Cincinnati Enquirer: There is not
district on the Gulf of Mexico that
is more unhealthy than that of Vera
Cruz and its immediate surroundings.
and particular so for the six
months commencing with May and
ending with October.
A blazing sun during the day,
either upon the sand hills, the
swamps beyond or on the footballs of
the mountains, makes the tempera-
ture almost unbearable in the moist
atmosphere, while the nights bring no
relief from the discomfort.
The insects are a pest day and
night, and are dangerous through
their carriage Of disease germs in
many species.
The most difficult part of the cam
paign will be found in the preserva
tion of the health Of our troops, as
fevers OF most severe, debilitating
and fatal nature are prevalent
through all the coast line for fully 76
to 80 miles from the gulf.
Contagious diseases arc found in
every hamlet. especially smallpox,
and what IL called by the Mexicans
"tesfus." the latter most deadly in
it, course. fl.f

The New York World in closing q
lengthy article on the Colorado strike
pertinently says:
1.-The state of Colorado has
laws enough and power enough
to escape this humiliation, but it
did not have manhood enough.
Had Colorado enforced her own
laws, most of the grievances of
the strikers would have been
automatically eliminated Had
Colorado maintained her own
authority, few of the indescrib-
able atrocities that have taken
place in this civil war could by
any possibility have happened.
Yes we have good laws on our stat
ute books but our labor commissioner
a man by the name of Brake, fail
ed to enforce single one, evidently
with the intention of bringing on the
strike. If the laws had been enforced
there would have been no trouble as
question of wages would have beer
adjusted. When it's a question OF
wages the public is directly interest.
ed. We have secretary of state who
his disgraced his office and Brake
is his protege. Wonder If voters
will ever take tumble?

One Kansas exchange explains the
name "gringoes" by the story that
the soldiers of Uncle Sam in the Mex
lean war were always singing "The
Green Grass GioE's All Around, All
Around" which is correct, according
to tradition, except that the camp
song of the soldiers was "Green
Grow the Rashes o." The term
"gringoes" was as near as the Wexi,
cans could approach the refrain OF
the song and they attached this to
all Americans.

May, and when they arrive the entire
territory between the foothills of the
mountains and the gulf becomes very
quickly almost impossible, and the
best-located and well-furnished camps
will be flooded and soaked daily by
the cloudbursts which deluge the en-
tire region mad make it almost i'm
possible for unaccIimated persons to
remain in good health.
With the arrival of General Funs-
toms command our forces landed
there will probably number 10000
men, but this force would scarcely be
sufficient to form the garrison con-
stantly required at Vera Cruz and
the guards necessary to protect the
principal railways up to good,
healthy camping ground in what is
known as the Templada Zona, which
commences at an altitude of about
5000 feet and extends to 5000 feet
above the sea.
The necessity of guarding the city
and the lines of railways running
from Vera Cruz to the northwest, thk
southwest and the west up to the al
titude of the "Templada Zona" will
keep fully 10000 men of our forces
in this unhealthy and undesirable
district during the time of any cam
-, tka ~
City of Mexico.
The advancing columns will have
no easy time of it, regardless of the
military opposition, as the 'torrential
rains sweep the mountain ranges and
the plateau almost daily, the sun
blazes during the day with exceeding
fierceness, and more than $50 miles
of the way is fully 1000 feet above
the sea in what is called el pals frio,
or the cold country, with marked diff
ferences in the temperatures of the
days and nights.
Yet the men in these columns, even
with the ordinary risks in skirmish
and in battle, will be safer from death
and disease than the guards of COM
munications and the garrisons in the
towns and the city between the
mountains and the Gulf Coast.
If there is to be march from Vera
Cruz to the City of Mexico the mas.
ses of our forces should be quickly
pushed far up the mountains and on
to the plateau.
The number of our soldiers and
sailors kept in the terra caliente, or
the hot country, should always be the
minimum that safety requires.
The Herald editor can vouch for
the above. We happened to be in
Orizaba and points between that
town and Vera Cruz during the lat
ter part Of March, a few years ago
1t was our intention of taking the
tropic trip to the great shipping
docks on the Pacific but the heat was
SO great that both Mrs. Raymond
and the boy were overcome-pros-
trated and we were compelled to re-
main one Sunday in the shade
couldn't even stir about. Therefore
our sympathy is with the men who
will be compelled to do guard or field
duty in that part of Mexico at this
time. And all because person whom
the president refused to otherwise
recognize would not salute the flag.

SURE HE SHOT.

Denver, May S.--The following tel
egram sent to President Wilson by
7. J. O'Donnell has not been printed
in any of the Denver papers although
of more than passing interest.
president Woodrow Wilson, Wash
ington, ID. c.
John c. Shaffer, who maintains
continuous telegraphic bombardment
upon you, does not represent anybody
or anything, not even himself or the
papers of which he signs himself as
editor and publisher. He and they are
dominated by two of the most danger
GUS criminals who ever infester a
city.
"For political purposes these papers
and their proprietor have famed the
flames of hate since the strike troub.
lie started several months ago. and
they seized upon the tragic event Of
Ludlow as an excuse to hoist the red
flag of anarchy and set out on cam
paign destructive of social order, and
subvertive of law.
"The two papers have been, for 3
weeks past, advocating rebellion, riot
assassination and murder. The am
bushcade and massacre of the militia
has been urged with the enthusiasm
Of zealot calling devotees to holy
crusade.
''The vary domestic violence
against which the United States has
been called on to protect Colorado,
was fomented by these malevoent
orgars of treason, and the work was
deadly because there still clings to
the papers remnant of the prestige
they acquired during their longtime
control by ex-senator Patterson.
"On this account they were accept
ed by the ignorant and misguided, to
whom they basely appealed, as indi-
eating a public opinion that would
justify and extenuate the crimes Of
violence which they openly advocat-
cd.
"The law abiding people of Cole
rado are unanimous in their condem-
nation Of the understanding cam
paign conducted by these papers, ana
even those who respond to their
blood-thirsty appeals despisc the
source from which they came and
the motives which prompted them.
"All good citizens are thankful that
order has been. even temporarily re-
stored Student of our theory and
system Of state and federal relations
cannot but keenly regret the utter
breaking down Of the. state govern
ment and its failure to meet the crisis
precipitated by the combination of
low cunning playing upon elemental
erictions. during contest calculated
from il very nature. to arouse the
fiercest passions and culminate in
Just such exhibitions Of savagcry as
have been Witnessed.

of peace propaganda that the world
averages war every three years,
and the last few years the average
has been greater. Possibly the i'm

relative to the matter:
Denver, Colo, May Ia, 1914.
l. J. Bradford,
Secretary Durango Board of Trade,
Night letter received. Restoration
of through service has been the sub
ject of much correspondence and nu-
merous interviews with Silverton peo-
pie and our company has arranged to
restore through train service on May
31st. OF this you probably have not
been advised. l assure you we are

possibly can to build up the mining

at length into the mining situation
and presented matters for the con-
gress to take up.
Harry Pyle wanted the president
of the congress and other members
to visit the various commercial or
ganizations of the district and re-
vive interest in the general work. He
said the people were willing to go
ahead but it required outsiders to
stir them up occasionally.
The talks created great interest
and all felt there is big work ahead
for the congress and that much good
will result and it was late when it
was suggested the meeting adjourn
until 10 o'clock this morning. In this
connection in few days The Herald
will review some of the talks and
the benefits to be derived.
This Mornings Session.
a dozen or more of the delegates
to the congress assembled at the
board of trade rooms this forenoon
and for two hours discussed plans of
operation, all present taking part and
offering suggestions.
The matter of the transcontinental
highway was handled at some length
with reports from the different coun-
ties as to what is being done in way
of road construction. Mr.. Smith told
of the splendid work between Cortez
and Shipi ock, and Messrs. Black and
Brewington of the plans for complet-
ing the rojd between Pennington and
Shiprock. All felt that in this high
way great benefits will result through
tourist travel and in this connection
the congress voted SIS to the high
way association to include dues from
the San Juan Basin counties.
The annual dues amounting to
for membership in the Commercial
Executives of the state was also vot-
ed A motion also prevailed allowing
the unpaid bills to date amounting to
something like $4,000, ways and
means being discussed of securing the
money, $277.0 of the amount being
due Mr.. Reagon for expense money
advanced during the New York trip.
MIR. Black proposed that the sug-
gestions of Mr.. Prosser made at the
evening session, be taken up-that
of making the congress an individual
membership proposition. Mr.. Black
also proposed that every commercial
organization and town affiliating with
the congress be visited in the near
future by officers of the organiza-
ton with as many of the business men
joining as possible. For instance, the
vice-presidents of all the counties
with the president and secretary
spend few days in Montezuma coun-
ty, visiting each town to talk over
the requirements of that section and
the same kind of trips made to every
county either by auto or rail, the OBJ
ject to inject life and interest the
general public in the Importance of
Keeping up the good work. Mr.. Black
said he knew the Reagan report and
cost of promoting the proposed south
ern outlet had been productive of
much good and funds well expended
and no one should regret the money
and time contributed.
In order to conclude the business
and definitely outline plan of op-
