Tho Flag Fund.

The flag proposition Of the Journal
seems to have been adopted by the
children of Augusta. We are giving
the names of those who have con-
tributed up to this time but not the
amounts, for we fear some of the
larger sums offered might urge Others
to give more than they could really af-
ford. The full list will be published at
the close, but we hope no boy or girl
will try to Guido another but will,
rather, confine their contributions to
the pennies, nickels, dimes or quarters
that they feel they wish to invest in
this our finest display Of patriotic
spirit.

A Word to the Wise Is Sufficient.

1t is difficult to make war upon an
enemy that is hidden by the shame of
his victims. False modesty and more

with one of the worst enemies of man
kind, the social evil Only in recent

alive to the insidious menace. the dis

day. and that in spite of the magnitude
of the evil comparatively little has

DF. N. w HlII1Cl VI 11o"uoAii WI
lege is the author of an act now be-
fore the Legislature (Senate 246)
which has for it's purpose measures of
dealing with the evil. This act in
part provides:
Chapter 10, Revised Statutes, is hereby
amended by adding at the end of SAID
chapter the following section, namely:
sect. 125. 1t shall be the duty of every
physician, superintendent or manager OF
any state, county OF municipal chari-
! table or correctional institution. or any
such private institution receiving public
funds, Immediately to report to the state
board Of health, every case Of venereal
or which is in such hospital or public in
stitution. and every such physician, su-
perintendent or manager shall make such
report in the form which may be required
by the rules and regulations Of the said
state board and shall comply with such
rules and regulations as are made by said
state board to prevent the spread of ve-
nereal disease.
Sect. 1875. All information and reports
in connection with persons suffering with
venereal diseases shall be confidential
and shall not be accessible by the public
nor shall such records be deemed public
records.
Penalties are provided for neglect or
refusal to perform the requirements Of
the act, and provision is made for
$4,000 year to enable the State board
of health to carry out the provisions.
The committee of seven of the
Medical Society of the County of New
York estimated that there were in one
year 243,00O cases of venereal disease
in New York City. In the same year
there were only 41,585 other cases Of
infectious diseases reported to the
health department This number in

an evil must be met and fought and

better. DR.. Whittier has pointd out q
danger about which the general pub

prepared first means OF meeting it. It
is doubtful if more than a scattering
few of the law makers realize In any
degree the magnitude Of the evil. but
most of them know and have conf

inspired only by the highest motives.
They should not allow any minor con-
siderations to offset in their minds his
earnest warnings and those Of medical
science.
