is obliged to do so. standing on his
chair with one foot on the table. while
the drummers beat a roll behind his
chair. He is then considered true
Welshman. All the toasts are coupled
with the name of st. David. 1t is in
much this way that the toast with
highland honors is drunk. Each guest

Mexican Menace.

Vera Cruz, now prominent IN the
news dispatches, has been historical
hot bed of yellow fever. In 1909 Span
ish colonists attempted to settle there.
Six hundred promptly died of the fever.
At the end of fifteen months but sixty
survived Tampico is also nursery
for the plague.
From last available reports of the
United States Public Health Service
there were from February 1st to oath
twenty-five cases and sixteen deaths in
Tampico, and there was an epidemic at
Vera Cruz. Two yellow fever experts
have been ordered to Vera Cruz to act
with officers of the army and navy.
Undoubtedly, one of the results of
the American occupancy OF Mexico will
be the widening of territory which is
free from the smouldering menace of
yellow fever. Yellow fever was wiped
out of Cuba and the southern part of
the United States as a result of the
Spanish-American war. The disease
had been constantly present in Cuba
for 200 years when we took charge.
Every foreign visitor knew that he
would contract it. One in four was
certain to die of it. By fig hitting the
mosquitoes and screening against them
yellow fever was eliminated.
Colonel Gorgas, the sanitarlan OF the
Canal zone (who deserves as much
credit as anyone for the successful con-
struction of the Panama canaD says
that "the next generation will look
upon yellow fever parasites as we do
on three-toed horses-as animals that
existed in the past without any posi-
bility of reappearing on the earth at
any future time
Wiping yellow fever out of the Unit
ed States and Cuba was a simple but
gigantic task. 1t required overcoming
amongst other factors a prejudice
against window screens which prevail
ed throughout the south. More than
that, the greatest difficulty was en-
countered in overcoming the indiffer-
ence of the public. People of the south
had so long been dying of yellow fever
that it had become habit. Our habits
are difficult to uproot. In many in
stances inhabitants had to be forced,
at the point of bayonet, to submit to
having their lives saved
In our northern territory flies repre-
sent disease source, comparable to a
great extent with the mosquitoes in
the warm zone We of the north have
tuberculosis, scarlet fever, typhoid,
whooping cough, measles, etc. Any
one or all of these could be eradicated
were appropriate measures enforced
with equal vigor and efficiency. Per-
haps our territory will need to be Gin
vaded."

MOVE CONDEMNED

Chicago, July 22.-Disapproval OF
the recall of judges and judiciary de.
cisions and a plea for less interfer.
ence with the judiciary by the legisla.
tive branch of government were voiced
today in the address of Thomas w.
Shelton of Norfolk, a., chairman Of the

In criticising the recall Mr.. Shelton
referred to the attitude of James II. of
England, who declared: II am deter
mined to have twelve lawyers for
Judges who will be all of my mind"
"That," said Mr.. Shelton, "is an ex-
ample of the recall of judges and
judicial decisions which 1t is well to
remember"
Mr.. Shelton urged that the bills now
before congress seeking to bring about
uniformity in federal and state pro
ceedings in civil cases be endorsed.
