Medical Service in the Tropics.
(Boston News Bureau )

Probably persons realize the magnitude of the medical service the United Fruit Co.,, including it does, not only the care of the sick but preventive medicine and supervision of sanitation Yet on the of health and improved conditions which make living in the tropics safe and enjoyable has de tpended in large measure the success of all that Limited Fruit has attempted and achieved. An annual medical service, which is expressed in six figures, commands attention. The number of pa tents cared for last year in the tropics by Unit ed Fruits medical department 208,000, of whom 333 000 non-employees. These figures large except ths light of the knowledge that this medical service nine tropical countries each equipped with hospitals and hospital and field dspensaries

 generation since commercial enterprise was badly handicapped in tropical America by yellow fever During the past the Fruit Co. reports the entire absence of any cases in it's divisions.
 Smallpox has been overcome by systematic cnation, with the result that all divisions free from this disease.
 By systematic examination of all employees in its tropical divisions the ravages of hookworm have been greatly reduced In fact there is important disease associated with tropical countries against which preventive measures have not been effectively used Fand of which practical control has been secured by the Fruit Co.
 Three new hospitals have been completed during lthe past year-in Panama Costa Rica and Cuba-at la total cost of s470,000 and further additions planned. The cost last year of operating hospitals and dispensaries $239000 in excess of receipts Through other deparaments directly associated with but not included in it's medical service the company spends annually in sanitation $275 000 for parks and street cleaning $2OO, 900; and $3O0, 900 receipts for operating electric light plants and water works.
 In all that the Fruit Co., has done for tropical America there is probably service notable and of such reaching consequence it's campaign for health in the field of preventive medicine and santa ton. And it's work is still far from completed

NEED FOR NEW CABLE IS IMPERATIVE

The need for cable between Seattle and Alaska is very great. Anyone who has gone through the frequent interruptions the Signal Corps munication service knows that be outstanding None is more familiar with the condition of the present cable the who operate it and those who responsible for keeping it in repair. All of them unanimous in the conviction that it must be replaced without delay
 The telegraph and cable lines operated by the Signal Corps in the North probably form the only self-supporting Government institution in Alaska. The stretch of cable between Stka and Seattle is vital section. When it goes of commission it all of Alaska off from direct communication to the States. It is true that the Naval Radio Service affords communication facilities but it is not equipped to handle all of the business that is gathered by the Signal Corps lines throughout the Territory. IL does attempt to handle all of such business and delays to that it does handle common and ire quenty expensive The radio service, generally does not replace that afforded by submarine cables in any part of the world The old idea that it would do first advanced when radio development began, has been exploded long ago. The merely supple ments the other
 Cable experts engaged in repairs on the Stka- Seattle cable many months reported that it's life had about been lived and owing it's weakened condition it next to impossible to repair when break occurred There is real existing why it should not be replaced by a and madern bne. Tn actuality there is economy refusing 10 appropriate funds for this purpose 1t is to be hoped that the Signal Corps and Aaskas Delegate will be able to make a sufficiently strong to the necessary money.

: POLITICAL INTEREST SHIFTS.

Political interest is shifted the west. Until after North Dakotas primary elections next Wednes- day the eyes and minds of the political leaders will be cenered in that commonwealth Here is the Of the struggle between the regular Republican forces and the radical element in the party.
 Senator Porter J. McCumber chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, one of the most powerful and most responsible positions in the upper chamber, Is candidate for renomination. His chief opponent is Lynn J. Frazier former partisan league Gov ernor of the state and a radical of the LaFoette type. Ordinarily the North Dakota election would not attract much interest but owing to Senator Me- Cnmber's position in the Senate, his connection with would necessarily be regarded blow to the regular Republican organization in the upper house of Congress Hence, the so-called Old Guard leaders very much in sympathy with and work ing far possible for Senator McCumber and awaiting the outcome with anxiety.
 He chairman of the Finance Committee has necessarily been in charge the tariff bill which is the acrimonious debate in the Sen ate. He is its chief advocate the floor. Thus his defeat would have more significance than it would possess he just member, tried true of the organza Republicans and q legislator of the old school. It would be large extent regarded as a repudiaton of the protective tariff by a great agricultural state upon which if passed the Re- publicans must go before the people in the Fall election.
 Predictions on the outcome lacking in definite ness. Few seem able guage the strength of former Governor Frazier Senator McCumber may have added his strength by reporting soldiers bonus measure recently but that is debatable. He is handicapped by his inability to make a personal campaign. being compelled to remain in Washington en account of the tariff debate If he is renominated supporters of both the protective tarf schedules and the soldiers bonus bill will hail it as an endorse of their positions.

Washington, May 29-Factions in
the internal revenue controversy over
the removal of A. D. Sumner of Iowa
and Major C. C. Childs of Ohio, from
their posts in the bureau, took a
breathing spell today and there were
indications that the incident was rap
idly drawing to close.
Investigation of the accounts unit
of the bureau by the special intelli-
gence section continued but officials
declined to comment on the progress
made. Friends of Assistant Secretary
Dover insisted that efforts were being
made to prevent the removal of his
appointees by Commissioner Blair
while at the treasury there were hints
of possible further action along such
lines.
Developments in the Blair-Dover
incident are regarded by high officials
as significant of more than a disagree
ment over the policies controlling the
administration of the internal revenue
bureau.
Recent changes in the bureau per-
sonnel are viewed in high official
quarters as signs of the hand Of Sec
retary Mellon at work to put into
effect his own ideas of efficiency in
the operation Of the functions of the
treasury department, based on his
long experience as banker and busi-
ness man. Mr.. Mellon was represent
ed as being desirous that the treasury
should give the country the most ef-
fective service and to this end he was
proceeding to organize it's forces to
meet his views Of government admin
istration.
