ERADICATION OF A GREAT EVIL

In an article published few days
ago, the Star expressed some ideas
brought forth on yellow fever and
malaria by recital of some of the
experiences of a little band of sur
geons during the Spanish-American
war
This article has attracted a good
deal of attention among not only
members of the medical profession
but other leading citizens, as all
realize what a clog on energy even
the lightest malaria is, not to speak
of the deadly effect of the more viz
ulent forms.
Some of them have expressed the
hope that a worldwide crusade, SIM
liar TO that now being waged against
tuberculosis might be instituted
against malaria, and the Star has no
doubt that this will be done sooner
OF later; not long after the world ir
general begins to understand that
malaria is preventable disease in
stead of a natural condition of things
and that it is as almost deadly and
much further reaching than the
great white plague.
Following are some of the things
that The public should understand:
Malaria is a germ disease.
Malaria is transmissable. 1t is
transmissable, like yellow fever, by
means of a mosquito. Mosquitoes
breed only in water-stagnant wa
ter and of a temperature above 60
degrees. Mosquitoes rarely live ov-
er three weeks.
There are three ways of getting
rid of malaria:
Kill the disease or germ in the hui
man; at the same time isolate the
patient.
Destroy mosquitoes in room or vi
cinity.
Destroy or modify breeding places
for mosquitoes.
Cooperation is essential in the
work Physicians taking the init
alive thru health boards should be
supported by woman's clubs, city
councils, county commissioners, and
last, but not least, by the assistance
and leadership of certain people hav,
ing influential personality.
For instance: When by education
The tuberculosis campaign was vel
under way, Phipps of Philadelphia
and Trudeau of New York state, add
ed momentum. Trudeau was the pi
oneer, and for thirty years his en-
thnsiasm has never cooled.
Likewise, the war against hook
worm. begun by Stiles in 1898, an,
pushed by medical men all over tn,
country, was most ably assisted b.
the benevolent enthusiasm of Rookie
Teller.
An anti-malaria campaign need
only some individual of large mean
to come forward and stimulate pub
lie enthusiasm as we'll as donat
money or other means.
The Star can't help wonderin
who the philanthropist will be VIII
VIII acquire fame of the most enduI
ing kind by furnishing the sinews @
war to the medical profession in ii
Inevitable campaign against tn
worldwide evil of malaria.

APPEARS TO BE A F'RAME-UP

The proceedings in the Jackson
vile city council against Pleasant
Holt, alderman from the fourth
ward, look to the Star more like a
political frame-up than an attempt
to arrive at a just conclusion.
Wednesday night, at the meeting
of the council, the president, Frank
L. Dancy, who is we'll known sup
porter of Mr.. Stockton, introduced
and passed without objection, resolu-
| tons calling for the appointment of
committee to investigate, in con-
nection with Holt, the charges made
| by Dixie as to illegal registration
in that county. President Dancy, in
PRODUCER of this resolution, appoint
ed on this committee five members,
who are recognized as being support
ers of Mr.. Stockton, and politically
antagonistic TO Mr.. Holt.
1t must be understood that Mr.
Stockton has an investigating COM
mittee at work, which alleges it is
Investigating all these matters. Last
week, it arrested a prominent bust
land, charging him with perjury in
registering, but the members of the
committee themselves withdrew the
charge, apologized and the case never
fort on the part of Mr.. Stockton, and
his advisers, to connect Senator FLEET
cher with Holt in all these matters
because Holt is friendly to him and
is one of his supporters.
i The Star knows little about the
charges this committee is going to
Investigate, and Senator Fletcher
/ has nothing to do with them, but il
does seem that if Mr.. Stockton has
any direct evidence against Holt, the
proper course would be to take the
: matter direct to the courts, where
Holt would have an opportunity tt
, defend himself.
1t must be evident to any one tina
if the investigating committee made
up of men opposed to Holt brings il
a report adverse to him, its findin:
/ ion
Mr.. Stockton and his supporter
L must be hard UP for campaign ma
= terial if they are trying to discredi

o The Star has nothing to do wit

# will be able to take care of himself

what it says against him is bein

TWO OBVIOUS FACTS

DeLand News: The News knows
that Senator Fletcher had nothing to
do with the qualifying of negroes in
Duval county-he is a heightened
Southern gentleman and for this rea-
son would not tolerate anything of
this kind; and, in the second place,
he is too good a politician to attempt
anything of this kind.

SETTLED ANOTHER SCANDAL

In letter TO ". W. Prescott, edi-
tor of the Protestant Magazine, pub
lished in Washington, President Will
son has denied emphatically that his
correspondence is handled with re-
ligious prejudice by his secretary,
Joseph P. Tumulty. The CORES
pondence made public by the maya
zine follows:
Asks Statement of President
Washington, D. c., Jan. Is, 1914
The President
Sir: | learn from personal inter-
views and correspondence that there
is a widespread feeling among Prot
estants that it is practically impos-
sible for any communication relat-
ing to the activity Of the Roman
Catholic church to reach you person
ally, for the reason that all such let
tiers are withheld from you by your
private secretary. Mr.. Tumulty. 1t
is unfortunate both Tor you and for
the country that such an impression
prevails and it seems to have some
foundation.
Before dealing with the subject in
| this magazine, / am writing to ask
| for a statement from you which
might be of service in restoring con-
| fidence among some of the best citi-
zens of this republic. Any reply,
| however brief, showing that the let
| ter actually reached you would be a
source of satisfaction.
! When you were governor of New
Jersey | wrote you concerning some
criticisms of your course in which
you were charged with showing fav-
oritism to the Roman Catholic
church, and your reply placed the
matter in such a light that | did not
deem it necessary to make any ref
erence 10 the subject. My desire is
to deal fairly with public men, and
hence this letter.
| Thanking you for any attention
which you may give to my request
| am, yours very truly,
| w w. Prescott

The Presidents Reply

The presidents reply under date
of Jan. 10, 1914, follows:
Ny dear Sir: Allow me to &C
knowledge the receipt of your letter
of Jan. Is and to thank you for your
candor in writing me.
| beg leave to assure you that the
impression that any part of my cor
respondence is withheld from me in
any circumstances by my secretary
on account of religious predictions
on his. part is absurdly and utterly
false.
l venture to say that no president
ever had more frank and satisfac-
tory relations with his secretary
than l have with mine. The whole
of my correspondence is constantly
open to me. Mr.. Tumulty is more
prompt perhaps to call my attention
to matters in which his prejudice is
supposed to be engaged than to other
| matters of relative indifference.
OF course, / need hardly add I am
not speaking from an Impression,
but from knowledge of just how my
correspondence is handled
Sincerely yours,
| Woodrow Wilson.

Sweden.

A CORRESPONDENT signing his name as
"Ex- Attache" writes to the Chicago
Tribune that Sweden is about to
change her form of government from
a monarchy to a republic. In support
of this sensational statement the cor
respondent asserts that King Gustat
V. is very unpopular with his subjects
because of his militaristic bearing and
adherence to the German military
ideal, his lack of personal magnetism
and his failure to conciliate Norway
in the crisis OF 1905, which resulted in
that country's secession. or course,
King Oscar was etill alive then, but
Gustaf is held jointly responsible with
his father for the separation. Fur
Their the correspondent states that the
Swedish nobility are hostile to the
king because of his lowly ancestry
Karl Johan Bernadotte, the founder OF
the present royal house. was the son
of French peasant and King Gustaf
has all sorts of plebeian relatives in
France today.
or course this correspondence Is
only a pipe dream and would be I'M
noticed here but for its publication In
one of the worlds greatest newspa'
pers and the representation that 1t Is
written by former member OF the
diplomatic service. 1t is doubtless
true that King Gustaf has not salts
fed all of his subjects, but that he is
very unpopular and that Sweden is on
the verge of becoming republic Is
far from the truth.
The London Times Is authority for
the statement that the Swedes are
planning conquest Of the Antarctic
In the near future. The Swedish Ant
arctic committee, an association
formed last year, with Admiral Palan-
der at it's head, and Professors Norden-
skiold, Andersen, De Ger, Nathorst
and Bonnberg among its members, has
planned the expedition, which will
start in the fall of 1915. 1t is intend
