LEPROSY IN UNITED STATES.
Urge Establishment of National Asy-
lum For COuntry's Lepers.


Washington, Feb. 21.-More than
500 lepers at large in the United
States constitute menace of serious
possibilities unless proper steps for
segregation are taken, in the opinion
of physicians, nurses, and others who
testified before the state health COM
mittee Tuesday in support of bill to
establish a national leprosarium.
The witnesses, all of whom had
made extensive personal researches on
the bject agreed that the 800 per-
sons under treatment in the country's
three state or municipal leper asylums
included less than one-third of the to-
tai of those afflicted.
They declared that the disease was
rapidly spreading; that the danger OF
a serious epidemic was real; and that
segregation was the first demand in
the campaign against it.
1t was the consensus of opinion
among those who testified that about
fifty lepers were at large in New York
city, eighty in Chicago and at least
one or two in each of the large cities
throughout the country. They declar-
ed in arguing for national asylum
that individual victims were treated
in many instances with great inhu-
mainly by local authorities interested
chiefly in shifting the burden of care
to some other community.

and, it is rumored, had much money
hidden away on his farm.
There was no other mark of vio-

Two strangers had been seen in
the vicinity of Lunning's home sew

now being made for them.
Lunning was 20 and is not known
to have had relatives or friends.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. G. BOWSFIELD


Waste and neglect in the average ap-
pie orchard are plain evidence Of bad
farming. An orchard of a single acre
If properly managed will give reve-
nue. Of 800 or $500 yearly, and besides
this it is important to the owners fam
lily. Fruit trees should receive intel
ligent care.
Orchards are not sprayed and pruned
in systematic way, because this kind
Of work can be put of, and there is
always something else demanding at
tention. Good farming gives every
feature on the place due attention,
whether the product Is for market or
merely for home use. If this be done
the fruit In small orchards will be
sounder and more uniform than it
usually is. the family will get increas-
ed benefit from it and revenue will be
gained at the rate Of at least $500 an
acre.
When orchards are neglected the
fruit deteriorates in quality, and much
Of it is allowed to rot on the ground.
Even the farmers family gets only a
meager. supply. An apple orchard
ought to be an object Of pride, and If
the owner feels that he is too busy to
attend to it he should turn it over to

A National Disaster Menaced.

The most serious misfortune threat
encd by a railroad strike short of the
physical suffering which may ensue in
of a shortage of food sup
plies, is that tens of thousands of work
ingmen of all trades will, in the event
of prolonged railroad tie-up, be thrown
out of employment. 1t is impossible to
check the arterial system in the human
body without disaster. 1t is equally i'm
possible to check the transportation
system, which is arterial in its nature,
without inficting misery and loss upon
people in every class and walk of life
Every employer of labor, practically,
is dependent upon the movement of
trains for the transport of goods, ma
terials for building, all materials for
manufacture. products used in processes
of fabrication. When the trains stop
and goods cease to arrive work in shops
and factories and all kinds of indus
trial establishments must slacken or
cease. If the railroad trains are halted
next GMonday morning and the strike
continues for more than a week a great
army of wage earners will be thrown
out Of employment and deprived Of in
come.
1t is impossible to estimate the eco.

The republicans of New York, it is

Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft will speak.
As a spectacle this should he big
thing. The place is well suited for the
staging of just such an event. 1t has
answered the purpose many times. 1t
is both central and capacious.
That it will he packed on this occasion
is an easy guess. Aside from the in
terest felt in the candidate, the desire
to see Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft to-
gether on the same platform again will
start a host travelling in that direction.
But will the occasion be more than
spectacle BY that time every voter
in New York, as elsewhere, will have
made up his mind. The election will
be only two days away. Spellbinding

mains will be getting the "boys" to the

former Presidents to, be in office by APP
pointment of a successor in the White
House The rule has been for a man
after serving as President to eschew
office, although keeping up his interest
in politics. John Quincy Adams tried
his hand as legislator with great sue
cess. and Andrew johnson after leaving
the White House was elected to the Sen
ate. but died before entering upon his
duties. They are the two exceptions.
If Mr.. Hughes wins he will need the
best assistance he can command A very
! large order will await him. Both for
eign and domestic affairs of far more
than ordinary difficulty and importance
will press for attention. His advisers
and assistants, therefore, should repre-
sent both proved ability and wide
grasp of national and international
questions.

nomic losses thus entailed. Ordinarily
strike cost is computab1e with fair
degree of accuracy in terms of lost
wages of strikers and expenses of strike
breaking and service maintenance. In
no other situation than in general
railroad strike is the effect so wide
spread. or are so many people lmmedi-
ately involved
In these conditions the arbitrary stop
ping of the railroad trains as means
of enforcing demands for changed con
ditions of employment becomes ma
tional menace which the government of
the United States would in the usual
discharge of its duty be compelled to
meet by direct and drastic action. Such
catastrophe cannot be rated as an
ordinary industrial controversy, to be
allowed to work out to its conclusion by
usual methods The trains in this coun
try must be kept running, to supply the
necessities of physical and industrial
life, and if the railroad operatives will
not run them and the railroad companies
cannot run them, the government mhst
run them.

Reaching a Peace Settlement.

Every present Indication points to a
settlement of the railroad strike issue
by the passage by both houses of Con
sress Of an eight hour law. meeting the
demands Of the hrotherhoods and caus
ing them to rescind the strike order be
fore o'clock Monday morning The re
suit was rendered virtually certain by
the action of the House yesterday in
passing hill independently of the Sen
ate. differing IN some respects from that
prepared in the Senate but embodying
the main features of an eight-hour day
provision and an inquiry into the wage
question by a commission of ohserva
ton.
Undoubtedly a great industrial dis
aster is averted by this course. The
conditions, for which responsibility will
he variously placed according to the
viewpoint were such as to render neces
sary some legislation that would satisfy
the brotherhoods. They held the whip
hand. They were III a position to die
tate terms. There was no ground for
belief that they would yield from their
position if the legislation they required
was not enacted i'll time Whether the
brotherhood chiefs could have suspend
ed the strike order to give Congress
more time for thorough consideration
of the question, their assertion that it
was beyond their power had the effect
of closing the door to 'deliberation and
the legislation had to be rushed.
The question arises whether this
course does not lead to future trouble.
the issue is not settled although the
principle of the eight-hour day is estab
lished by law. that they must eventually
determine whether they are to control
the railroad properties or the employees
through organizations. The country does
not relish the prospect of an industrial
war to determine this issue. 1t feels
grateful that one has been averted at
the present and that the menace of a
catastrophe Of unparalleled proportions
has been escaped.
II is interesting to consider what
might have happened if Congress had
not been in session. Only by narrow
margin was the legislature available for
action in the emergency. Had the adj
.iaurnmeBt plans of the leaders carried.
lad not certain measures not included
il the caucus program IN the Senate
been added. the houses might have been
in recess when the crisis came. This is
q question which cannot be answered,
but it serves to indicate the slender
basis Of the peace which has been
secured.

Infantile Paralysis Regulation.

Objection is made by the corporation
counsel to proposed regulations for the
control of local cases of infantile paraly-
sis that they are too drastic, in view of
the fact that there is no immediate
grave likelihood of a serious epidemic
here. 1t is true that the crisis of the
disease appears to have passed in the
main centers of infection elsewhere, and
that Washington is seemingly in no
present danger of general infection.
But the future is to he considered. A
grave fear is felt by sanitary officers
that the seeds of the disease so widely
prevalent this summer may be sown for
an outbreak next year. The exact nature
ef the disease principle is unknown, but
if it is like those of some other cpl
demic Affections it may survive the cold
of winter to become active once more
on the recurrence of favorable condi-
tions If this be true II e United States
may next season be visited by gen
cral outbreak of poliomyelitis and
Washington cannot expect to escape. In
these circumstances it is desirable that
there shoTld be provision here against
the possibility of an epiGemic another
season. Washington should assnredly
not be caught again without some safe
guard against the spread o. this dis
