FIGHT vENEREAL DISEASES

Arizona is to receive $2, $50 of
the $1O0, 600. 600 appropriated by
the Federal government to help
in the fight for the suppression of
venereal diseases. This State ap-
propriated similar amount. The
fund of $4, 500 thus made avail
able for the year ending June 80,
1920, is only enough to allow of
work being done in those commu-
mites that are able and willing to
help themselves.
DR.. z. Causey is directing the
activity for the State Board of
Health. He is working in con-
junction with the U. S. Public
Health Service. 1t is hoped that
satisfactory results can be Sc
cured in Graham county.
The records of the U. S. Sur
geon General showed that among
the second million draftees at the
mobilization camps, As out of ev-
cry 1000 men from Arizona,
were infected with venereal dis
eases. The death statistics of
the State Board of Health show
that there were eleven deaths
from syphilis during the first six
months of 1919. Of this number,
six were females. Venereal dis
eases do not often kill directly.
They cause insanity, sterility,
loathsome sores, locomotor ataxia
and frequently make their victims
long for death which would be a
relief
The campaign against venereal
diseases is based on the following
facts: 1st, venereal diseases can
be. prevented; I'd, they can be
cured. All that is needed. accord
ing to the State Board of Health,
is the desire of the community to
be freed from the plague, and
the Willingness to contribute the
money it will cost to maintain a
clinic where indigents can be
treated free, and detention
home where women, who may be
infected, can be detained forcibly
when necessary, until they can
be discharged from quarantine.
The State supplies the arsephe-
namine required. for treatment
free of cost.

response to an inquiry, the Lieu
tenant said, I haven't found an
American yet, though some of
the leaders have second naturall-
zatiop papers. T"
"Twenty-seven years ago the
discovery was made at Homestead,
Pa, that most of the employees
of the steel mills were uneducated
foreigners led by desperate men.
Almost a generation has passed
since then, and yet conditions are
unchanged, with the exception
that the same mass of alienism
now draws its inspiration from
well-organized and well-financed
societies of outlaws at home and
abroad. The American people
cannot plead ignorance on this
point, nor can Chairman Gary's
Steel Trust.
"Since 1892 laws have been en-
acted to prohibit the importation
of labor, all of them easily evaded,
but aside from that, the country
has done nothing and the employ
ers have done nothing to Ameri-
canize their forces. Sought origi-
nally because it was docile and
could be used to break the backs
of native workingmen, this for
eign labor has been constantly
recruited and persistently en-
couraged in its foreignism on the
mistaken theory that lasting
profit could be derived therefrom,
Captained now by avowed public
enemies, we find it a menace to
industry and government alike.
"The sins of the misguided for
eigners at Gary and elsewhere
are natural outgrowths of the
sins of the men who have herd
ed them here. Greed has asfattened
on flesh and blood. reckless of
everything else. No American
is to be found in its seditious
throngs because no American has
given a thought to their welfare,
to their enlightenment or to their
Americanization.
