tuberculosis is not an inherited

dren," a local doctor said today in
discussing the program for the dgH
on this disease which is being or
ganized all over the country.
There can be no tuberculosis with
out the germ, health experts say. The
usual way to get the germ in the sys-
tenn is by inhaiing, breathing into the
nose or mouth germs that a consump-
tive has spit or coughed. There is
also the chance in infected milk and
foods, but rarely incubation through
cuts and wounds.
The deaths from tuberculosis in the
United States now average 10000
per year Every three minutes some
man, woman or child dies from its
ravages. One tenth OF all people who
die in the United States are victims
OF tuberculosis. Yet tuberculosis is a
preventible and durable disease.
Keokuk has a high. rate of mortality
and public health workers point out,
it can be cured.
Can be Cured.
Evidence that it can be cured Is
plentiful. Every community has its
recovered victims of the disease, who
are leading happy and useful lives.
Fresh air, cleanliness, scrupulous care
in destroying the germ laden sputum,
absolute rest and wholesome food, all
of which are included in the treat
ment given by the sanatoria and hos
pitfalls for tuberculosis have worked
wonders, and with the extension of the
education work now being carried on
by the national association and kim
dred agencies greater results are ex.
pected.
The most formidable obstacle in the
campaign against tuberculosis is the
undiscovered case, the person who
has tuberculosis and doesn't know it.
When the United States entered the
great war, the draft boards and the
army doctors found more than 100000
cases among men who thought they
were physically fit for service.
II is planned to search out every un-
discovered case and to put the az

NO RooM,FoR METRIC SYSTEM.

/ Efforts are being made to require by COLI
gressional legislation the use OF the metric sys-
tenn of weights and measures in this country,
and the American Railway Engineering asso-
iciation at meeting held in Chicago expressed
its opposition to the adoption of the system to
the exclusion Of the English system or the
American system at present in general use.
/ The following reasons suggest themselves as
ito why change to the meterlc system should
not be made here at this or any other time:
/ l. The railroads of the country have spent
several million dollars preparing plans IN com
!pliance with valuation orders of the interstate
commerce commission. These plans as well as
other plans both of right-of-way, structures,
and their replacement would eventually be
necessary on the metric system. This would en-
tail very large expenditure.
2. The enactment of this law would cause
Iall freight tariffs to be revised and readjusted
from their present pound and ton basis. This
would not only involve very large expense
but great confusion and the loss in connection
Herewith would be inestimable.
3 All passenger tariffs would also have to
be revised and changed from their mileage basis
Of calculation.
f. Platform wagon and track scales would
be Of no value as they now exist until they were
remodeled and changed to meet the require
ments of the new measure This would result
in throwing away and scrapping large amount
of valuable railroad property.
s. In addition to the above would be the
expense incident to educating railroad en-
ploves to adapt themselves to the new system
and the resultant confusion in connection there
with.
The adopting of the metric system would
place an unnecessary burden on the railroads
and incidentally Oh the people at large, for the
reason that in the last resort the people must

WISE DISCRIMINATION.

In an address before the Commercial club
OF Cincinnati, President Nicholas Murray But
Ter, OF Columbia university, drew distinction
a between social reform and socialism that is dis
eliminating and just; moreover, it is clarifying
tc some OF the vague thinking being done by
people honestly seeking conclusion on the
mass of evidence of unrest. Dr. Butler argued
that III sense all good people must be social
Teformers, but that the term socialist designates
something very different from social reform
er. He said:
Socialism 4 in the large general and vague sense
US who are in our right minds anxious to i'm
prove social conditions; to better public health
to decrease severity OF labor; to
increase the rewards and to add the salts
faction OF those who do the hard manual work OF
the world to use the power of public taxation
build roads to multiply school-houses, to aid with
information and guidance, those who farm
hnoISs nhiecfs Of hesatv and art for tbe inforno
and the pleasure OF the great body the
people; to improve the conditions of housing in
large cities and to see to that such essentials as
wafer light and transportation are furnished Of
the best quality and at the least practicable
All this however, is social reform, not socialism.
For the primary false assumption of social
ism, according to DR.. Butler, is that all man
efforts are explained in terms Of his desire for
wealth; that all moral, religious and unselfsh
motives are to be considered as naught and a /
future founded on the theory that man accomp-
ilISI1eS only IOI ptISoldl gam LIdt system
must be devised by which personal gain is i'm !
possible. Socialism is a gospel Of hate and dis .
trust; in the making and building of America
the socialist can see nothing of idealism, moth
a of high principle, nothing Of love of liberty,
nothing of aspiration fora finer and freer man
hood. And because it cannot see these elements
III American history and tradition, socialism is
"a blind guide to any future l.
DR.. Butler calls for clear thinking. He saws
the cornerstone Of American government and
of American life is the civil liberty of the indi-
yidual citizen. And yet in the name of indi-
vidual liberty destructive forces are at work to
turn our representative republic into socialist
autocracy, to destroy liberty and equality Of OPP 9
portnnity, and to paralyze the greatest force S
the world has ever for the promotion of 7
the happiness, the satisfaction and the full de- h
yeopment of free men and women.' d
There is no denial here Of the need of social d
reform; there is simply assertion Of the power il

Lincoln Steffens says there is great need Of
differcntiating between the communists as
grouped and the various organizations, like the
socialist party, which do not adhere to com
munism or it's teaGhipgs.' This is going to be

OFFICER KUMM RESIGNS.

VIM. Kunun, for the past IL months
one of the efficient members of the local
police force, rendered his resignation as
night policeman, to, Mayor Wd. Eibner,
Monday afternoon, the same to become
effective some time this week. The
mayor accepted Officer Kumm's resig-
nation reluctantly, as the latter's ser
vices have proved highly satisfactory.
His place on, the police force will be
filled temporarily by John Globes, UNI
til a successor has been appointed by
the mayor.
Mr.. Kumm expects to leave for
Lidgerwood, N. D., next Tuesday, to
take charge Of the farm of his sisters
in-law, the Misses Lizzie and Maggie
Jost, near that place. Prior to being
appointed on the local police force, Mr..
Kumm was employed for eight years as
teamster by the August Schell Co. and
before that time held a, like position with
the John Hauenstein Co. for nine years.

LARGE DRAINAGE PROJECT
PROPOSED BY ENGINEER.
Public Hearing Held at Redwood
E Falls. Total Cost is Estimated
at 81 ,5s8, 7Ss. &c.

Probably the greatest drainage pro-
ject yet contemplated is about to be sub
mitted on a preliminary survey to the
commissioners of Redwood county, says
The Northern Light of Lamberton, in its
issue Of Wednesday, March II, and the
hearing on the project is being held at
Redwood Falls since yesterday, Tuesday,
March %.
The preliminary survey as worked out
by G. P. Smith, Redwood Falls, super
vising engineer for Redwood and Lyon
counties, as submitted to the Northern
Light states that all the land within
the proposed county ditch No. 81 has
been surveyed and that the proposed
Improvement includes approximately S.,
600 acres. There are within the water
shed fifteen miles of state road and over
16O miles of township roads. The report
continues:
.The watershed contains some 1900
acres already included in County Ditch
No. 20 and Judicial Ditch No. 4, and
some 800 acres of comparatively high
laying land adjacent to the Sleepy Eye
creek, which is of sufficient elevation
to be fairly well drained. The rest Of
the watershed is fat or comparatively
low in elevation and contains many
swamps and small lakes varying in
size from upwards Of fifty acres. To
provide a sufficient system OF outlets and
drainage for these undrained lands and
highways, I have designed a system of
drainage There will be required some
34.12 miles of open ditch and ESQ miles
of tile lines"
The estimated cost Of this work ac-
companying the engineers report puts
the total cost Of the open work at 1884, :
913.76 and the cost Of the tile work at
81, 143,87A,30, making a grand total Of
$1,588, 1896.

LABOR CANDIDATES
WIN IN ST. PAUL
WILLIAM MAHONEY NOMINATED
FOR MAYOR BY LARGE
MAJORITY.
PRIMARIES INDICATE SWEEP
ING VICTORY FOR LABOR 3
IN MAY ELECTION.

Candidates of the Working Peoples
Nonpartisan Political League won a
signal victory in the st. Paul city pri-
maries on March 16.
William Mahoney, labor's nominee
for mayor, received 10,903 votes in a
three cornered fight, 1908 more than
his nearest opponent.
All four of the labor nominees for the
city council led the race. Two ex-
service men were next in line and the
present councilmen barely succeeded
in getting nominated at all. Their
totals ranged about 1000 under those
for the labor candidates.
Twelve councilmen were nominated
from which list six will be chosen by the
people at the election on May 4.
Likely to VIM
Mahoney is conceded to have splen-
did chance for election at that time
because the chief issue raised is one fo1
and against the bipartisan political
machine which has controlled the city
and Gilbert Guttersen, the eliminated
candidate, opposed the machine rule as
we'll as Mahoney.
Mahoney, therefore, will draw many
votes of people outside of the labor
ranks who are anxious to see their
city freed from corrupt machine rule.
L. c. Hodgson, the present mayor,
who ran behind Mahoney with $685.
votes, was originally elected with the
support of the independent labor vote
in 1918. He has built up considerable
popularity, but his general record was
such that the Working Peoples Non
partisan Political League did not choose
him for the present contest.
Hodgson decided to stay in the race,
however, and thus definitely breaks all
connection with the labor movement.
He is now supported by the elements
which opposed his first election.
The contest attracted unsual at
tention because it gave the first clue
as to sentiment in the state bearing
on the struggle between the farmer
labor alliance and the special interests
in Minnesota. So. s.s.ssg.
The Working Peoples Nonpartisan
