PREVENTING BLINDNESS.

The Illinois legislature OF recent
memory did not meet in vain. Among
several OF the excellent bills passed
by that body one will have a great
bearing upon the happiness of at
at least several score of folks. within
the next generation.
Every year there are certain pro-
portion of infants who, though not
born blind, become blind shortly
thereafter.
1t is fact known to every physi-
clan that such infants need not be-
come blind. In case OF sore eyes by
infants, very simple remedy pre-
vents blindness throughout life.
And that certainly is something
worta while.
The new Illinois statute provides
for a report to the state bo2 rd OF
health within two weeks after the
birth of an infant having sore eyes
and providing Tor the free distribu-
ton Oh nltIale Oh SANei.
The state board of health OF HI
nois issued bulletin insisting that
parents should use this simple but 81
fective preventive Of blindness in the
case of every birth hereafter occur
ring in their family. The bullatin is
something that can be taken u
heart everywhere.
Contrary to the common notion
tho eve disease from which infants
frequently suffer, is not always the
result Of infection with the germs oil
a ,oathsome disease, but as often aue
10 the presence of other iniective
organisms.

PHOENIX PROOF
 AGAINST SUITS
It is Pretty Well Settled Now That a Claim for Damages is Only a Waste of Time for Aggrieved Persons.

It is pretty well established that it is waste of time to sue the city of Phoenix for damages Judge Stanford yesterday rendered a deci- sion in the case of Schultz against the city for damages. in favor of the defendant. The court said that he did not like the law but it was the law and had been so construed by the supreme court in the case of Morrell against the city. Within the last year suits agsregating 5000 have been filed against the city and all of them have gone the same way In this case the plaintiff had been dragged off of bicycle by dangling rope which was being used in decorating the streets last fall for the state fair.
 It was the contention of City At torneY Christy in this as in the Nor rell case, that the rights and immun- ities of the city under the old form of government passed to the new unless otherwise provided in the new charter. As the charter is silent on that subject, it was the belief of the city attorney that the city was now as immune against damage suits as it was under the former charter.
 The city attorney also pointed out that the old charter was act 61 of the legislature of 1885 and was in the statutes in full force at the ad- mission of the territory to statehood The constitution provides that all acts then in force and not repugnant to the constitution should remain in force until repealed
 It was therefore in force until su- tperseded by the present charter which provides that all rights pri- vileges and immunites granted un der the old charter should be con tinued under the new.
 Phoenix is the only town in Ari- zona with that kind Of a charter and lit is therefore the only town in the state that is Judgment proof as to a damage suit

The first clash in the contest of
 Mark Dunbar for possession of the
 office of state librarian against Con
 r. Cronin resulted in a victory for
 the cOntestee yesterday morning
 when Judge Stanford sustained the demurrer of former Attorney General
 Bullard to the complaint. The de-
 murrer was broadly based on the ground that the complaint set forth no proper cause of action, since in the designation of Cronin in the bill creating the office of librarian, the legislature was within it's rights,
 and that there was nothing in the constitution of the state prohibiting such an act.
 Judge Kibbey appearing for the
 contestant asked leave to amend the complaint and four or five days were allowed for that purpose. According to Judge Kibbey the legislature erred in attempting to fill U vacancy which did not exist. In his argument he said that the legislature had been actuated by spite work rather than by a desire for the good of the pub lie service; that the appointment of Cronin was made to spite the gov ernor.
 Soon after the legislature adjourn ed a board of curators appointed by
 the governor having before it two or more applicants for the position of state librarian, asked Mir. Cronin if he would submit an application. But he elected to rest on the de- signation of him by the legislature The board thereupon appointed MT. Dunbar.
