Health Advice Conducted Under Direc- ton of the U s. Public
 Health Service
Tho Governments War on Nene-
 real Diseases


 In it's peace work of trying to free the entire nation from the menace of the disease of vice which, under the stimulus of President Wilson and the members of his caolnet' the united States public heal serv- ice has undertaken, there is no trace of paternalism.
 The establishment of free clln- ics for treatment of venereal disease; the work of caring for the future of girls who are forced by rigid ad- of laws to give up ca reers of shame; the requiring, of physicians that they report the com venereal diseases to the health authorities, just as small poX and other communicable diseases are recorded; in these and other en- deavors the government is moved by no sentimental ideas of paternalism.
 Nor is, the federal government us- urping the task of the reformer. In the suppression of prostitution, now scientifically recognized as the great fountain source from which venereal diseases spring, there is work for ths social reformer, the preacher the press.
 By extensive and intelligent work along reform lines, these agencies may greatly aid the campaign which the United States public health service is carrying on. But it must be understood that the governments campaign against vice is as coldly scientific as the war that was made on the rats that carried the bubonic plague in San Francisco, or the ex- termination of the mosquitoes in Gu ba and Panama that were discovered to be carriers of yellow fever and malaria. Venereal diseases must be controlled.

THE DEVILS LAKE WORLD.
John n. PercivaI Who Died
July Sjrth, Much Thought Of

Old timers of Devils Lake were
shocked and grieved to learn of the
death Of Hon. John A. Percival, who
died very suddenly from heart failure
at his farm home near New York city
July 6.
Mr.. Percival was born in Vermont
in 1848, and came to Devils Lake in
1883, and took a presumption claim
of a quarter of land which now COM
prises a part of the Clark M. Kelly
farm east Of the city. He was later
appointed register of deeds and exofi-
clio clerk of the court of this county
when it was organized and his deputy
was C. w. Greene, now secretary of
of the Elks lodge of this city. After
filling this position for about five
years, he was appointed bank examin-
er and served in this position for
some time, and later was appointed
receiver of the U. S. land office, which
was then established in this city. At
ter retiring from this position he en-
gagged in the banking business in this
city and became president of the
Merchants National Bank, and later
this bank failed, but Mr.. Percival paid
out in full, although it took every dol
lar he had accumulated. After clos
ing up his business here he went to
Fargo and became a partner in the
Weum, Watt, Percival Co., a whole
sale notion house, and later sold out
his interest and went to Minneapolis
and engaged in the wholesale cigar
business. He finally became interest
ed in mining and organized the Consol-
idated Interstate Mining Co., and, as
the mines he owned and controlled
proved very valuable properties, he
500 became rich and was rated as a
millionaire. He lived for several years
in Duluth, but lated moved to New
York city to manage his mining prop
critics, being president of the COM
pany. Many Devils Lake people are
interested in some of these mining
properties. Nh. Percival was very &C.
tive in politics during his residence in

Governor Cox Receives
A Large Number of
Requests
GOVERNOR PLEASED
California Democrats In
Belief They Can
Win State

Dayton, O., July 15.-The west may
be developed into one Of the chief
battle grounds early in the national
political campaign, was an inference
drawn from a conference here. Gov
ernor James M. Cox, the democratic
candidate for president, stated many
requests that he open the campaign
in the west have been received and
in his talk with newspaper men, the
governor left the impression that he,
at least was interested in the prop
osition of early invasion of the west
if not, in fact favorable to it. He
stated, however, that campaign ar
rangements are in the hands Of the
national committee and that he could
say nothing definite until he has con-
ferred with the committee.
w. w. Blaine, president of the Corn
Palace, Mitchell, South Dakota, head
ed a delegation that called on the
governor urging him to accept an in
vitation to speak at the festival, which
is from September 27 to October 7,
The Minnesota state fair manage
ment also has wired asking him to
speak there. Charles E. Morris, the
governors private secretary, tele-
graphed from San Francisco that
!. he was being beseiged by California
delegations urging that the campaign
be opened in that state. Mr.. Morris
told the governor that CALIFORNIA;
democrats are certain they can carry
the state for him.
Considerable interest now is cen
tering in the conference of the ma
tional committee with the governor
on July 20. 1t has not been establish
ed whether the meeting will be held at
the governors home at Trails End,
or in Columbus, but the governor said
he would wire Chairman Cummings
that the plans made for the committee
meeting here seemed satisfactory to
him. The date and place Of holding
the official notification ceremonies are
expected to be determined at the con-
ference. Governor Cox intimated that
son time between August Is and 20
would be a satisfactory date for the
notification.

John A. Percival was a likable man,

and was a hustler and it was through
his vim and push that he amassed a
fortune during the later years Of his
life. He was q member Of all the Ma

the blue lodge, chapter and command

local blue lodge.

Arthur Wager, who is reported criti-
cally i'll at San Juan, has been governor
of Porto Rico since 1913 Governor
Naker is a kentuckian and received his
education at Georgetown college, in his
native state. and at Johns Hopkins uni
yersity. Following his post graduate
work he returned to Georgetown college
and taught economics and history, and
ultimately became president of the in
stitution after having served as chair
man of the faculty for several years.
His appointment as governor of Porto
Rico added another to the insular staff
of officials who had been trained in acad-
emic work rather than in the practical
field of politics, and was in line with
the policy early adopted at Washington
in an effort to keep the insular posses
sions of the United States from becom-
ing places for partisan spoilsmen and
the political type of public officials.

GENERAL WOODS AMER1cAN1sM

General Leonard Wood is getting his
ideas before the American people in
public addresses the latest being given
at Providence, R. l., before repre-
non-political audience. His
opinions on the problems of the day
are of special interest at this time,
both as the ideas of candidate for
the presidency and as an American
citizen.
Speaking of the differences between
capital and labor he says: Capital
must give a living wage and labor
must give a real days work. The
only remedy for the high cost of liv-
ing is increased production. We must
exercise more selection in our immiga-
tion and allow no more sand in our
cement" This is sufficiently clear and
"a relief from the fallacy that the cost
of living is matter of political law.
Perhaps the average man will not so
clearly understand his remark about
internationalism when he said: .'Let
US avoid loose-fbred internationalism
as we would death, for it means death.
We have room in this country for but
one language-the language of Wash
ington, Lincoln and Roosevelt. 1t is
the most powerful influence we have
for true Americanism." If by "loose f.
bered internationalism he means the
maintenance of foreign settlements in
America using foreign language and
fostering foreign ideals, he will be sup
! ported by the mass of American people
On the other hand, if it means aloof-
ness in international relations or re
lection of international duties, the
question arises whether or not he is
afraid of the larger responsibilities an6
influence this nation should assume in
world affairs. People viii wait fol
more specifcness before passing judg
ment on this declaration.
Very satisfactory is his declaration
regarding an American army which hi
insists must be a real American army
built on American lines, withou
Prussianism. He said: "0ur nation
has no spirit of conquest, but we ma!
again have to serve in a great cause. ;
In this we hear the consistent advo
cate of preparedness.
In these declarations we see the idea
of great American who realizes tina
economic questions are not to be solve,
! by political quackery and that Amer
canism must not be contaminated wit
the destructive influences of foreign un
rest and hopelessness.

WATER POWER COMING.

The water power development bill
passed by the senate last week is
promise of greater development of the
water power of this country. The bill
was passed by the house last July and
while some changes have been made
in the bill it seems probable they can
be adjusted in conference. AS passed
by the senate the bill creates federal
water power commission, composed of
the secretaries of war, interior and ag-
riculture, which shall have power to
issue ffty-year licenses for development
of water power projects '.for reason

mission is to cooperate with state

license, has the right to take over the
and operate plants. Power plants now
in operation are not affected by the
bill.
The first effect of the act viii be to
open the water powers on the federal
owned lands to development and with
the facilities for the transmission of
power viii greatly increase the supply
of power for industry in established To-
cations. We do not know the extent
of cooperation with states the bill au-
thorizes, but expect it would enable
states like Vermont to increase state
control and state development of its
waste power. Vermonters should watch
the development of this bill and Prepare
to take advantage of such privileges
as it offers.

Reverting to the perennial merit of
the proposition of converting Vermont
water powers, the Springfield Re
porter says:
An exchange remarks that with
proper storage of flood waters provid
ed, there would be enough power TO heat
and light every house in Vermont and
furnish electrical energy for industrial
purposes besides. Springfield could
very easily put itself in position to
push a button whenever it wanted
heat, light or power and let Black river

The contemporary goes on to say
that, with the fuller development of
our Fwhite coal' resources, the state
could very soon be independent of
fuel from outside and strikes of coal
miners could be regarded with indif-
ference.
theoretically, the proposition is cor
rect, but it might be well TO remember
that it is not the simplest thing in the
world to find storage for flood waters
in every water-course which develops
such possibilities.

While the % county jails of Massa-

On the other hand, it is probable that

being only $500 inmates of the p,
three of the institutions having closed
