TO HEAD 1880 FAIR

THE Kennewick Fair Association
i has elected officers for the
coming year. These men and wo-
men will guide the policies of the
association and will bear the bur-
den of the work and responsible
ity for the 1880 fair. In reading
over the list of officers, we note
that most of them have been close
~ connected with the fair before,
largely in official positions. They
lave been operative in creating
the fairs of other years, and we
feel confident that with this group
at the head, support by the new
corners, the success of Kennewick's
1880 agricultural exposition is as
sured.

THIRD TERMS

GOVERNOR Hartley has fallen
VI heir to the disease that incap-
itates most politicians-unwilling-
ness to step out Of a public office
once secured. At the beginning of
his first term he announced that
he would serve four years only.
Not long after that, Hartley came
out with his candidacy for a Sec
ond term, and now he blossoms
forth with the proclamation that
he will Choose to run" in 1882.
No doubt the governor needs
the additional four years to dis
cover the exact direction of his
gubernatorial course, something
he has failed to do so far. That
seems rather necessary. There are
others who would be delighted to
do that for his honor, others who
have not yet had their opportunity
to put their hand to the helm of
the snip OF the STATE.
Of course, we must pay respect
to Governor Hartley's acumen in
picking his henchmen, nearly a
score whom come from Benton
county.
This newspaper supported Har-
tley in the last election largely on
account of A. R. Gardner, former
editor and now head of the state
department of efficiency. But
events have proved that we would
have done better to back Gardner
for the governors office, rather
than the man who is now seeking
a third term in the face of his
past indiscretions.

CANCER HOSPITAL
NETWORK URGED
Institutions in All Large Cities
Held Only Hope of Com
batting Disease.

Control of cancer in the United
States through establishment of hos
pitfalls in all large cities. each stated
and equipped to combat the malady,
was predicted yesterday by DR.. James
Ewing, head of the pathology depart
ment of Cornell University and a stu
dent of the disease for more than 20
years. They offer the "only hope" of
control, he said.
Addressing the closing session OF
the annual convention of State ana
provincial health officers with the Pub
lie Health Service DR.. Ewing outlined
a program Of cancer control through
cancer institutions" each equipped
with $500, 900 to 100000 worth of
radium treatment apparatus. a staff of
surgeons and other scientific experts
He declared that such institutions must
and will be established in few
years through State health depart
ments, with financial assistance from
philanthropists.
Delegates to the conference all ad
vocated shutting off immigration from
the Philippine Islands In order to con-
troll what was termed "the most serious
outbreak of cerebro-spinal meningitis
since the World War" Surg. Gen.
Cumming, however, later declared he
would recommend this measure only
as a last resort and that he hoped it
would not be necessary.
The average number Of meningitis
cases reported weekly this year, it was
pointed out, has been between 100 and
l40, while during the past few years
the weekly average had been 20 to 80
cases. The outbreak has been man
ifested in all parts of the country, It
was said. and its origin has been traced
to steamships bringing Filipinos suffer-
ing from it to Pacific Coast ports.
