MEXICAN MEM ACE.

| Vera Cruz, now prominent in the
news dispatches, has been historical
hot bed of yellow fever In 1909
Spanish 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 first to the
twenty-fourth twenty two 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 wip-
ed 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 two hundred years when we took
charge. Every foreign visitor knew
that he would contract it. One in four
was certain to die of it. By fighting
mosquitoes and screening against them
yellow fever was eliminated
Colonel Gorgas, the sanitarian of
the Canal zone (who deserves as much
credit as anyone for the successful con-
struction of the Panama CanaI) 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 pos
sibility of re-appearing on the earth
at any future time.
Wiping yellow fever out of the
United States and Cuba was a simple
but gigantic task. It required over
coming amongst other factors a preju-
dice against window screens which pre-
vailed throughout the south. More
than that, the greatest difficulty was
encountered in overcoming the indif-
ference of the public. People Of the
south had so long been dying of yellow
fever that it had become a habit. Our
habits are difficult to uproot. In many
instances inhabitants had to be forced,
at the point of bayonet, to submit to
having their lives saved.
In our northern territory flies repre-
sent a 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
Perhaps our territory will need to
| be invaded.r

NO AGITATION FOR PHILLIP HERE
Petitions Sent For Circulation in Keno
sha County VIII Be Sent Back With
out Any Names Being secured-No
County Convention to be Called Here


The petitions calling the people of
the state to rise as one man and de-
mand the nomination of Emanuel L.
Phillip of Milwaukee, as a candidate
for governor of the state, have reach
ed Kenosha They came in by way of
Sank county on Friday, but they have
not been placed in circulation. In fact
tie promoters of the Phillip candidacy
were little unfortunate in picking
out leaders for Kenosha county and
the petitions now repose on the desk
OF man who has been the leader OF
the "Bull Moose movement in this
county and it is pretty certain that
he will make no move to have the pc
titions circulated The petitions EN-,
body with a lot of other things the
text of resolutions passed at a protest
convention held in Sank county some
time ago and they are more of a pro-
test against the present conditions in
Wisconsin than they are movement
for new political regime in the state
Many Kenosha people are friendly
to E. L. Phillip and recognize him as
an astute political leader and a man
who has honestly stood for the cold
order" in Wisconsin, but even these
men are not anxious to force Mr.. Phil
lip into the field as a candidate for
governor. The petitions will undoubt.
eddy be returned to the man who sent
them, but it is probable that some other
effort will be made to have them plac.
ed in circulation in this county. Ke-
nosha county is an insurgent county
50 Tar as the present management of
state affairs is concerned. This was
shown two years ago when although
the county candidates of the republi-
can party were elected and many of
them by large majority, the county
dropped into the democratic basket so
far as the nominees on the state tic
ket were concerned. There are q LOT
Of men who have joined the ranks of
the insurgents in the county since the
last state election, but these men pre-
fer to support a democratic candidate
rather than to join in any sort of a
civil warfare in their own party. It
is probable that if conservative state
convention is held in Milwaukee that
kenosha county will be represented, but
the delegates will probably be self APP
pointed as there is no leadership among
the men in the county who are favor
able to continuance Of the fractional
struggle in the party.
1t is declared That it would be al
most as difficult to secure a convention
OF voters favoring the present admin
istration as these men are Just as well
satisfied to let the state politicians
tight out their own battles and thew
will sit on the fence and watch the out
come of the affair. Of course there
are few, and a very few, administra-
ton job holders who are willing to do
all in their power to stir up a little
enthusiasm for the administration, but
for the most part these men are men
without political prestige.

Under the new order of road build

Under the new order of road build
ing operations in this county, any
agreement which the railway engineers
may have had with any former high
way commissioner with regard to the
pavement of crossings on roads that
are being improved in the county is
null and void The law says that the
crossings must be improved with the
same material as the roads leading to
them and that is the way they will
have to be paved in this county. The
improvements suggested by the rail
way engineers may be just as good or
better than those required under the
law, but it is the intention in this
county to stick closely to the law in
road work this year and the railroads
will be required to conform to this
ruling.

COOK WOULD LEAD STATE G. A. R.
Big Attendance Expected at Annual
Eneampment in Madison June 9.

6ucdInpm6nG IN MaulS0n June y.
Until within day or two it was
supposed that DR.. w. J. Mckay of
Madison would have no opposition for
department commander of the Grand
Army, but it is learned that former
Congressman Samuel A. Cook of Nee
nah, is to be presented for the place.
Both are popular members of the order
and there is like to be lively contest.
Less than month from now the en-
campment of the Grand Army, depart
ment of Wisconsin, viii assemble at
Madison in its forty-eighth annual SEES
sion. While the legislative body, those
who can vote and have a part in the
business transactions, will consist of
only five hundred, there is promise of
an unusually large number of attend
ants for it was at Camp Randall, Madi-
son, that nearly seventy thousand of
Wisconsin s young men and boys had
their first soldier experience. Four
other kindred organizations will hold
their annual conventions in Madison
at the same time, the w. R. c., La
dies of the G. A. r., Daughters of
Veterans and the Sons of Veterans.
In addition to these there will be many
who belong to none of the societies.
The encampment will be called to order
by Capt. G. H. Henry, of Eau Claire,
the department commander, at 10
0 clock p. M, June 8, and the sessions
will end the afternoon of June IL.

The people in the territory to be an
nexed to the city will undoubtedly
make application for free delivery and
collection of their mail by the regular
carriers, but it will be useless for them
to do 50 until they have made the re-
CURED provisions for the coming of the
carriers by putting in walks and pro-
viding mail boxes. Even then it may
be some time before this territory is
fully covered. The addition Of all Of
this new territory will present serious
problems to the postal authorities and
they will go ahead slowly with the
work of solving them. The local Office
is handling about all of the business
now that can be cared for efficiently
in the present quarters and adequate
service for the new territory involves
the establishment of branch Office
somewhere on the west side Of the city.
Until the new branch is decided upon,
and that involves the unwinding Of
considerable red tape, the inspectors Of
the department will be slow to pass adj
ditional territory as ready for and en-
titled to free delivery for that will
necessitate putting more men to work
lii the already overcrowded quarters at
the main Office. The local postmaster
and his assistants will do what they
can to hurry matters and extend the
service, but the final decisions on what
is to be done are made at Washington.

The money that the city gets from
personal taxes is just as good as that
collected on real estate and if the pub
LEGATION Of the list of delinquent per-
sonal taxes is going to help in the col
lecting of these outstanding taxes, go
ahead and publish it. To fair minded
men the failure to publish the list of
the delinquent personal taxpayers looks
like discrimination in their favor by
the authorities. The list of unpaid
taxes on real estate is published, not
once, but dozen times, and there is
no good reason why the delinquents on
the personal property tax should not
br given precisely the same treatment,
There is all the more reason for pub
fishing the list of delinquent personal
taxes because of the well grounded sus-
picion that some of the men whose
names are on this list are making a
deliberate attempt to beat the city out
of this money. They simply refuse to
pay in the belief that no very vigorous
attempt will be made to collect this
money and the rate the delinquent
personal taxes are mounting up is a
sufficient indication that it is time to
get after these people. When their
scale of living is considered, the ex-
cuse that some of the delinquents have
not the money to settle is ridiculous.
They have the money, but do not pro-
pose to let go of it unless they have
to, and any measures the city can take
to force payments in these cases are
justified. There is no justice in some
of the people being forced to pay these
personal property taxes and others just
as well or better able to pay being
permitted to dodge them and the
finance committee of the council can
go ahead with the publication of the
lists or any other measures necessary
to force payments with the assurance
that all who have paid-and that in
cludes the big majority-are with them.
