From the testimony of Hanna
and Hall of the emergency COM
mission. upon examination before
the Joint committee of the state
legislature, there can be no mis-
take in the conclusion-they place
their Judgment above that of the
state legislature. If there ever was
such q thing as tyranny in the
state house. that is exactly what
we are getting right now. And
these men who have utterly dis
regarded the law and the legisla-
ture appear to be rather proud of
the fact.
1t is generally known over the
state that the Thirteenth legisla-
tive assembly rejected the very
appropriation with respect to the
jamestown asylum which the
board Of control and then the en-
ergency commission carried out.
There appears to be principle
at stake in the present. investiga-
tiOn which means more than es-
tablishing the guilt or innocence
Of the particular parties involved.
It's time the state legislature
knew whether the laws which it is
passing. are going to be carried
out. or whether they are going to
be over-ridden by the board of
control and the emergency COM
mission.
There is strong sentiment in
some states for the commission
form of government in state af-
fairs. Many are in favor of the
proposition. But one very satis-
factory feature is to know Just
where we are at. If we are going
to have the state commission
sauander 100000 in legisla-
tive session it would be nice to
know that three man board was.
mt going to revise the work of the
legislature to suit its fancy.
It's Just a matter of knowing
don't, you know.

W|P|NC OUT MALARIA
IN PANAMA CANAL ZONE
American Sanitary Officers
Meeting With Great Success.

WashingtOn.-The report Of the de-
partment of health of the Panama ca
nal for the last calendar year shows
that the American sanitary officers on
the canal zone are meeting with re-
markable success in combating ma
iaria.
Those other diseases SO likely to Wis
it white men in tropical climates, dys-
entery and typhoid fever, are also be-
ing coped with successfully. The report
shows that no deaths occurred among
Americans in the canal zone in the
year 1914 from malaria, dysentery or
typhoid fever. Yellow fever, as is well
known, has long since been banished
from the canal zone by the scientific
efficacy and thoroughness of the meth
ods of the American sanitary officials.
The fact is that malaria, not only
among the Americans in the canal re-
gion, but among the entire population
there, has been reduced to lower
point than ever before. In this con-
nection, it appears. apart from the re-
pOrC IOr the year 101f, CudL LHC AInio
rial outbreaks among employees in the
canal zone outside of Cristobal and
Toro Point are now at the lowest
point
The pneumonia death rate increased
considerably owing to prevalence OF
measles among the black employees
and the overcrowded conditions in
which the people live in Panama. The
five diseases causing the highest num-
ber Of deaths in their order are pneu-
monia, tuberculosis, nephritis, organic
diseases Of the heart and malaria.
In the latter half of 1914 periodic
physical examination was made OF all
food handlers in the kitchens, mess
rooms and commissaries of the Pana-
ma canal with the result that one ty-
phoid carrier and a number of cases OF
contagious diseases were detected and
eliminated. This doubtless prevented
much disease among employees.
In Colon and Panama the figures
show a high infant mortality, due to
ignorance and Indifference on the part
of mothers.

Pastor Honored at Eau Claire.

The eightieth anniversary OF the
ministry of DR.. Michael Benson was
recently celebrated at Eau Claire. The
following is an extract from an account
which was published in The Chippewa
Falls Independent, with pictures of DR..
and Mrs. Benson:
The occasion prepared by the local M. E.
churches marked the sixtieth anniversary of
Mr.. Benson's first sermon, which he delivered
on the first Sunday in May, 1855, when he was
member of the Niagara conference Of the Meth
odist Episcopal church in Canada. He was
then in his oath year. Today he is in his 84th
YEAR. for he was born at Darlington, Ontario
Dec. "A, 1881.
The services on Sunday were in the First
NJ E. church on South Farwell street, the
building erected largely through the efforts OF
DR.. Benson The occasion called out an audi
ence that more than filled the church. Seats
were packed in everywhere and while the
edifce is not large one some seven or eight
hundred were present, perhaps more.
DIR. Benson was some years ago pas
tor of the Methodist Episcopal church
in Mineral Point, and with his good
wife is held in high esteem in this
community.

School Entertainment.

The entertainment given at st. Mary S
Hall last Wednesday and Thursday
evenings by the pupils of st. Mary s
school was largely attended and was a
financial success. One hundred and
twenty five pupils took part in the pro-
gram, which consisted of dialogues,
songs, drills, comedies and tableaux,
that were very entertaining and anus
ing.
Each child did his part we'll and the
entertainment was credit to the work
and skillful training of the Dominican
Sisters. Miss Agnes Weidenfeller and
Miss Gertrude Stude rendered some
choice musical selections on the piano
both evenings. The duet Joyous re-
turn" by Miss Kathrine Morgan and
Miss Marjorie Fielder was also much
appreciated. All numbers on the pro-
CRANE were good and received hearty
applause.
