CONTROL OF TYPHOID

Encouraging assurances as to the
control Of typhoid fever were given
on Wednesday at the annual con-
ference of the health officers Of New
York state-for one thing the "ty-
phoid carriers" Of whom there are
SO on record in the state. are TO be

is held responsible for typhoid The
advantages Of pasteurization are
now so generally recognized that
opposition 10 this precautionary
measure is disappearing. The situa-
ton is aptly described in the state
ment Of the state commissioner of
health-''the health of the public
is purchasable and adequate appro-
priations will materially reduce the
death rate"
Money wisely expended for the
prevention of disease brings most
satisfactory returns. As a rule the
health departments of our states
are we'll informed and aggressive in
their fights for pure milk and the
filtration of water supplies They
have brought about many excellent
sanitary reforms and have made
good use Of the money placed at
their disposal For years il was
supposed that typhoid carriers
could not be rendered harmless ex-
cept by segregation, so that the
claim that this danger can be elimi-
mated is of especial interest.

\ GREEN SENATOR.
indianapolis News.)

We fear that the Hon. Thomas
Taggart. senator from Indiana, is a
victim of the innocence of ineXperi-
ence. He is a new hand. and wholly
unfamiliar with the mysteries Of
statecraft as practiced at Washing
ton. A short time ago he rashly
and most inconsiderately-
ed the rivers and harbors bill, TO
the establishment and chagrin Of his
colleagues And on Monday last he
spoke and voted against-of all
things,-the free seed distribution.
He showed that this cost the people
$252.54O a year, about one-half OF
which amount went for travel eX-
penses. salaries, labor, freight and
express The Indiana senator said;
The people have an idea that
all these seeds are new and rare
seeds grown by the government up
on it's experiment stations, but the
truth is that all the seeds are bought
in the open market under COMPETE
tive bids. But every time the gov
eminent actually spends $1.00 for
seeds. it spends a corresponding dol
lar in expense and charges for la
Dor. freight, drayage, salaries. ,rav-
el expenses. and so forth. before
the seeds reach the ultimate con-
sumner. II is a useless expenditure
Of money, and does not give the
people A corresponding benefit in
return
For years the papers have been
denouncing this free seed distribu-
ton. but TO no purpose. 1t is re-
garded as a perquisite of congress
men. and so. as sacred. Mr.. Taggart
has rashly invaded the holy Of
holes
But he was also convinced that
we are spending too much money in
the study Of the food habits of birds
and in the destruction of ground
squirrels. wolves. coyotes. prairie
dogs and gophers. The department
of agriculture boasts that in a GER
tain California reservation II cost
only 90 cents an acre 10 extermi-
nate the ground squirrels. which Mr..
Taggart thinks is high. The appro-
priation for this purpose is SIS. 200.
IL is suggested further that as the
government has discovered a remedy
for cattle tick. and as this remedy
is now in the hands of all cattle
raisers. they might be left 20 doctor
