his warning regarding the introduce

ports which are known to be infected.
Surgeon General Hugh S. Cumming

mated a burial service for the So
cially dead to be held over the vic
tim as he entered the leprosarium,
and made him swear to obey ten COM
mandments for lepers. Among other
things, these ordered him not to en-
ter any church, market place or any
assembly of people; not to touch chill
dren; not to eat with any persons ex-
cept lepers; not to appear in the
streets except in regulation lepers'
clothing. With these strict laws and
the decline of pilgrimages. the disease
died down to it's normal proportions.
There is some leprosy in Europe to-
day, especially in Russia and Scandi-
navia, and the large cities of the CONT
nent There are thousands of the out
casts in every country of the east
Where there are no we'll managed hos
pitfalls the lepers fate is the most mis-
cradle imaginable. He wears rags
and sleeps in novels or out of doors.
He has to depend on begging for his
food and when that fails he starves to
death.
Under United States control, leprosy
In Hawaii and the Philippines is being
kept down, and what is equally inl-
portant the sufferers are properly
cared for in a colony. In our own
country the situation is not so go ID.
Only two OF our states-Massach usetts
and Louisiana-provide asylums. In
the other states, lepers are often con-
fined in wards used for smallpox
patients or in other quarters so
wretched that the outcasts- cannot
stand them and, sooner or later. es-
cape.
The public health service now has
a $250,O0O appropriation from con-
gress with which to start a national
leprosarium. The project is block ei
at present because different states
have objected to the institution being
placed in their territory. Just now,
four islands in the Gulf of Mexico be-
| longing to the Federal government are
being considered, and while persons
| living on neighboring islands have pro-
tested. the government insists that
contagion at so great a distance is i'm
| possible. The location is regarded by
the public health service as exactly
right for the institution, as the four
| islands are not inhabited, the climate
( is said to be ideal, and the water
supply good. 1t is expected that the
controversy will soon be definitely
settled by the secretary of the treas
ury, who is authorized to select the
site.

REPUBLICAN, MEN SHOULD ASSIST
REPUBLICAN, WOMEN TO REGISTER
(EdtOriaI)

Republican women in Delaware have an exceed
ingly important duty 10 perform tomorrow.
II is TO register so they may vote at the No
vember eectiOn
Republican men in Delaware have an equally
important duty to perform, both today and to-
morrowi
II is to convince the Republican women, old and
young, in all walks of life that It is their patri-
otic duty to register tomorrow and TO vote in No
,embcrl
II also is to 90 with them 10 the registration
places and to expedite, in every manner possible
the work of registering them!
That is the germ Of the appeal that has been
made 10 Delaware men who are Republicans,
TO Delaware women who are Republicans, by
Charles Warner, chairman Of the Republican State
Committee. II should be needed in an the election
districts
Many women have exaggerated idea Of what
registration means They look upon il as trying
ordeal in m unpleasant atmosphere. They will
find that II is nothing Of the sort and that the
time consumed in the actual work of registration
is not more than three or four minutes
They will find the registration officers courteous,
attentive and helpful, and the watchers at the
registration places doing everything possible TO
make this, the first plunge of Delaware women
into politics, pleasant as possible.

Quite apart from the fact that most men are
inherently courteous and deferential to women,
II will be good policy for both the Republican and
the Democratic registration and election officers
to display those qualities tOmorrow and on Octo-
her i6 the last registration day, and on November
., which win be election day.
Now that the Delaware women are enfranchised
both parties are endeavorin TO win their favor
able regard and their votes They never can ao-
complish that by resort TO discourtesy; hence.
courtesy will be the rule and not the exception.
at all registration and polling places in Whining
ton and in the rural districts
We have said it before, and we repeat It now,
both Charles Warner, chairman Of the Republican
state Committee, and Henry n. Isaacs, chairman Of
the Democratic State Committee are cultured and
courteous men who hold women in high respect
They stand unequiyoealy for policy Of courtesy
and helpfulness TO women at the registration
places and the election places With them setting
the pace, that policy has percolated down the line
in both big party organizations
II is our knowledge Of the above facts that
prompts us to suggest that those women who now
look upon registration tomorrow as a trying or
deal will be surprised at the ease the comfort and
the dignity with which il is accomplishe,i-so
much so, in fact, that never again will they ex-
perience the sensations of reluctance and en-
harrassment which obsess them today.
