result Of the perfection Of wireless
communication at sea the work Of
the ship surgeons has been greatly
enhanced. There was a time, not 30
long ago, when the duties OF the
surgeon was confined to the care OF
the passengers and crew on the
vessel of which he was physician
Nowadays, however, the surgeons
work has been almost doubled by
the calls for aid from passing ships,
Recently a survey Of the medical
situation in the vessels Of its feet
was made by the United States
Lines and many interesting stories
were brought to light.
Within the last few months, in
Vestigation shows, the surgeons OF
the United. States Lines vessels
have been called upon to prescribe
Tor a score or more cases which
were brought to them through the
medium of wireless. Now that the
wireless telephone has passed the
experimental stage, demonstrations
having been successfully carried on
for a number of weeks aboard the
Steamship America, it is expected
that the ship surgeons will be
called upon more extensively than
heretofore.
1t is nothing uncommon for the
ship surgeon to be aroused in the
middle Of the night to prescribe
ior sick sailor aboard d vessel
several hundred miles distant. The
radio calls for assistance usually
come from freight ships, which do
not carry surgeons and on which
the captain with the aid Of a lin
tied medicine chest acts as physi-
clan to his crew.
On his recent arrival in New
York DR.. R. II. Boiling, surgeon on
the steamship President Roosevelt
reported having treated twelve
members Of a freighter's crew by
wireless. The ship surgeon was
aroused in the middle Of the night
by g radio requesting aid for
twelve sailors who were in great
agony. DR.. Boiling called for de-
tailed histories Of the cases and
after thorough analysis of the in
formation sent him determined
that the luckless twelve were vic.

ARGUMENT FOR FEDERAL
ROAD AID FOR SEWARD co.
Can Get 1925 for Each 81 Spent on
Permanent Roads From Fed
eral and State Aid

Did you know that if Seward Coun-
ty is to start permanent road build
ing campaign this year, the levy will
have to be made at the regular meet
ing of the county Commissioners, q
week from next Monday? Did you
kow that the county can get more
than two and half times as much
money for road building from the
Federal and State funds, than they
will put into it, if they systematic
their road building ad build roads of
a permanent character?
The assessed valuation of Seward
County is approximately $12,0OO,00O.
A levy of one and one-half mills
will bring into the account S18.00O.O0.
$4,000 of this will have to be used for
the maintainence and repair of roads.
There will remain then, $4,000 to be
expended for new roads. For each
$1,000 spent by Seward County, the
State fund can be drawn on for. 1888.
3S. The United States Government
will go $3.50 with any state and coun
ty on their road building program.
That means that for each $1,000 spent
for permanent roads by Seward coun-
ty, they will receive $2,666.66 worth
of roads.
The argument is that it would cost
the tax payers too much money. Look
at this. Taking for example farm
assessed at 500 per acre. The taxes
on quarter section on one and a
half mill levy would be $3.50 for the
year. Is that too much money to pay
for good permanent road? Can you
afford to pull your wheat and cars
over the present system of roads for
$3.50 per year.
A fair example Of what systemal
tic road building program will do is

House north to the river. This is one

HUNT FOR GOVERNOR

The Democrat seldom takes sides
in a primary contest within the
Democrat party, but this year we
feel that the issues are SO closely
drawn and the matter of so vital
importance to justify change Of at
titude. especially in the matter OF
the race for governor.
It is for this reason that we are
interested in the candidacy of Col.
Leigh Hunt who aspires to the gov
errors office. Col. Hunt combines
the qualifications necessary to a
successful administration of the af-
fairs of the office. He is first a
successful business man, quality
much to be desired, especially at this
time when everything seems to be
politics regardless of the effect up
on the masses Of the people.
Col. Hunt is a dirt road booster,
which will enable the people to have
good dirt roads where hard surfaced
roads are impossible. This should
appeal to the farmer who cannot af-
ford brick or cement road and at
the same time would like to have a
good road to market. He advocates
estate aid for the building and MAIN
flamenco of dirt roads giving the
counties the option as to which they
choose.
4. That he is man of large calibre
is evidenced by the fact that he was
a Colonel in the late unpleasantness,
and man to reach this standing
must have something back Of him
beside partisan politics.
o. T. Wood, former u. S. Mar
shall, in commenting upon the candi-
dacy of Col. Hunt remarked that he
had a personal acquaintance with
Mr. Hunt and that he is a man who,
if nominated, will get out and make
an earnest effort to win the elction.
Mr.. Wood says a we'll organized
"Hunt for Governor" Club has been
organized, composed of representa-
tive people of the state who want
a man in the office who will not put
in all his time in political way.
In another place in this issue will
be found an article dealing with the
candidacy of Col. Hunt and we ad-
wise our Democratic readers to hunt
it up and give it their consideration
and then when you go to the polls
cast your vote for Col. Hunt for
Governor.

This was a problem, indeed, for
DR.. Ford, but it was an emergency
in which he must not be found
wanting. DR.. Ford detailed, in lam
guage that could be understood by
layman, the necessary directions,
which sped through the void in
dots and dashes to the far away
freighter over which the stork
lowered. Two days later the sur
geon Of the President Garfield re-
ceived message which read: Now

leon Ford. A thousand thanks and
God bless you"
DR.. William Irwin, surgeon Of
the steamship President Harding Of
the United States Lines, is pio-
neer in wireless surgery and a
short time ago had the thrill Of
his life in meeting with a man
whose leg he had amputated and
who he had never seen. The am
putation occurred about nine years
ago in the Caribbean. One sleepy
afternoon the ship on which DR..
Irwin then served received a wire
less call from Swan Island, which
was equipped with a radio station.
The population consisted Of the
lighthouse tender. his wife, the
wireless operator and two work.
men. The message sent out stated
that the lighthouse tender had SER
iously injured his leg and that it
appeared as though gangrene had
developed. When DR.. Irwin had
wired for more details he came to
the conclusion that prompt am
putation was necessary to save the
patients life.
Inasmuch as 1t was impossible for
the steamship to reach the island
in time for the doctor to operate
800 miles separated patient and
surgeon-Dr. Irwin inquired wheth-
err the others would attempt the
amputation II he provided full
directions. Word came back in the
Affirmative.
