CABINET OFFICERS TO VISIT NORTH

According to the press dispatches two members of President Hardmgs cabinet Secretary Fall of the De- parmeut of the Interior and Secretary Dwby of the Nayy are to come to Alaska early in August to see what they can see
 It will not be the first time Alaska has been visited 1v cabinet members but if anything beneficial to the Ter jtoy results from the visit it will be record-breoker Secretary Fall win be the third Secretary of the Interior To visit Alaska the first being Fisher of Iafts official ,taG who camc saw and went away in 1911 and never hereafter mentioned his rip and the second was John Barton Payne of Wilson's official family, who came moue us last year accompanied by fleet of war ships ,ud much gusto and who after returning to Washington sroucd gripcd and was finally delivered of a decree looking toward doing away with the color and race line in Alaska schools-that and nothing more.
 But Aaslaus are the most hopeful people on earth and they look forward o the time when some cabinet o icia win come among them and actually absorb few sensible ideas of the country and act them when he curs to hcaduuartcrs and there is garug possibility that Secretaries Fall and Dcuby will be the modern Moses and Aaron destined to guide this norhand out of Inc wilderness of dcspoud in which red tape and gnor- ucc of conditions at Washington have plunged it.
 However, if thc future is to be judged by the past, oo much must mot be expected of the coming visit of cabinet officials for if anything profitable to Alaska comes of the visit it will be a record maker
 One good way for a cabinet official to get wise to Alaska would be to come mcognto and travel over the Territory selling suspcnders and lead pencils. Under such conditions he would not be received wiued and dmed until his system is an shot to pieces and he would have am opportunity for seeing things they actually exist sud seeing the people in their every day clothes.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 1.-THE prev
alence and dangers of diphtheria in
Kentucky are emphasized in a bulle-
tin issued here today by DR.. A. T.
Mccormack, State Health Officer.
The bulletin was issued at this time,
according to DR.. Mccormack, because
the first epidemic of the year has
already commenced its ravage in
Menifee county.
"There are certain facts" DIR. Nc
Cormack said, which parents should
recall now that dipntheria has ap-
peared for the first time this season
in epidemic form in Kentucky. One.
half of the deaths from the disease,
to which children particularly are
subject, occur every year within
three months after schools reopen.
"These deaths are absolutely need
less. If, after the disease has been
acquired enough antitoxin is admin
istered to the child suffering within
the first three days of the diseases
course, the sufferers life will be
saved every time. The thing for
parents to do is to send each child
which has a sore throat to a doctor
Immediately and, where he has had
the disease, not to permit him to re-
turn to school until he is shown by
a laboratory analysis to be complete
ly cured.
Last year for the first time since
vital statistics in Kentucky have
been kept the death rate from diph-
liberia increased. This did not alarm
us especially rs the increase in this
State conformed to an increase all
over the United States, but the State
Board of Health is anxious to keeI
the disease well in hand this year.
DIR. C. II. Voorhies, Of Lexington
has been sent by the State board tc
Menifee county to fight diphtheria
there. Three deaths already have
been reported and there are approx
imately thirty cases of the disease
in the county.

France continues TO pursue her
policy of weakening Germany by re-
newing the religious lines of division
between the north of Germany which
is Lutheran and the south which is
Catholic. The anti-clerical attitude,
which has been a leading feature of
French politics for many years, is
being reversed and friendship for the
Pope and the Church is being culti-
waited. Belgium, Austria and Hun
gary are strongly Catholic and some
of the states on the Rhine as well.
France would like to see Germany
very much as it was in the days Of
Napoleon.

The Irish-English question during
the week has resolved itself into a
series of rapid-fre kilograms between
the President of the Irish Republic
and the English Cabinet Prime Min
lister. Each seems to be desirous for
a conference, and each is striving for
an advantage. The Irish leader is
trying to force Lloyd George to ad-
NIT that he is dealing with an inde-
pendent and sovereign state, and the
English Premier denies that Ireland
is outside of the Empire. Meanwhile
the Irish papers, which reflect public
opinion, make it quite clear that a
conference is desired and a settle
ment hoped for.
