NEW BETHEL
 HOSPITAL H
 OPENED
Institution Has AZ Beds Large Mediea! Staff
 Is Provided

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-As part of comprehensive program of i'm proving and safeguarding the health of Indian and Eskimo wards of the Government, John Collier, Commis- sioner of Indian Affairs, has report ed to Secretary of the Interior Har- old L. Ickes the opening of the ! eighth in series of a ten hospitals planned for the natives of Alaska.
 The new hospital, which is now the largest general Government hos pital in Alaska, is at Bethel in the southwestern section of the Terri tory. An epidemic of meningitis among natives in the lower Kusko- kwim region last year, not far from Bethel, emphasized once again the great need for preventive and cura- tive facilities. The hospital, com pleted four months ahead of sched- ule, is certain to make such epidem- ics less and less dangerous as time goes on" MT. Collier stated W
 Largest General"
 Describing the new hospital at Bethel as the largest general hos pital of the Indian Service in Alaska is an indication of the limited med ical facilities available to the 30,000 native population scattered through out the isolated areas of Alaska The new hospital has 42 beds It is planned to serve 2,500 natives.
 The Indian Service hospital at Juneau, Alaska, is larger as it is pro- yided with 54 beds. Thirty-tw of the beds at Juneau, however, are re- served as tuberculosis Sanitoria tuberculosis having become the most serious disease among Indians and Eskimos since the advent of the white man. The death rate from tuberulosis in Alaska is over 13 times as high as the tubercular death rate in the United States.
 The new hospital at Bethel is the eighth in a program of ten hospitals for the ten Indian Service admin istrative districts of Alaska. About 16 other hospitals, both denomina- tional and Government, furnish medical assistance to the Alaskan natives through contracts with the Indian Service. Y
 Medical Staff
 The medical staff of the Indian Service in Alaska consists of med ical director, a supervising dentist, supervising nurse, Il full-time physicians, Is contract dentists, 34 field nurses, and about 60 persons, mostly natives, as janitors and at tendantS.
 The wide distance separating iso- lated Alaskan villages from those centers where medical services are available m ak transportation a disproportionately high item in the medical budget. Emergency cases almost entirely require airplane transportation. The Indian Service has to bear this additional expense, as most of the natives are unable to pay part of the cost of medical service, much less that of transpor- tation.
 Besides an unbalanced diet and poor economic conditions, crowded living quarters are considered an outstanding cause of frequent epi- demics and contribute to the pre- valence of tuberculosis in Alaska.

CURLEY BLASTS DEM. LEADERS

and should be banished to the Repub-
lican party where his heart really
lies"
Continuing his invective, Mr.. Curley
said: "The present Mayor of Boston
is another Democratic office holder
with Republican leanings. The best
proof of this is the fact that he
prompted the hundreds of city en-
ployees to cast their lot with the Re-
publican party so that he himself
might repay that party for it's support
in his election. He too has no place
IN the Dem. party.
"The Dem. party is in need of mill
tant, fearless leadership. We must
cease being lambs led to a Republican
slaughter by our alleged Democratic
leaders. If they refuse to be 1000
Democrats they must be cast out from
the party"

should start with the Democratic
State Committee and select as chair
man of that body the former State
Auditor Thomas Buckley, a faithful
and honorable Democrat who is I'M
doubtedly the grestest single organi-
ger in the state.
Wants Newspaper
Next we should have Democratic
paper to expound the ideals of true
Democracy, because most of our Bos-
ton papers being Republican-ow
and Republican-controlled distort the
facts whenever the opportunity pre-
sents ITSELF"
"The Republican Party" continued
Mr.. Curley, points accusing fingers
at the Democratic party and shouts
that we are corrupt! But they forget
that the greatest scandel in the his
tory of this country can be traced to
the doors of the Republicans. Remem-
Der the Teapot Dome? What has the
Democratic party ever done that COM
pares with that?"
And they speak of duplicity and
hypocrisy in the Democratic party.
What can be more hypocritical than
the recent removal of Commissioner
of Education Reardon? Mr.. Reardon
was removed for obeying the orders of
the then Gov. Hurley. Yet few days

Let US start tonight and go forward
in an earnest endeavor to rebuild our
party, so that in 1910 it will be true
Democracy all the way in a tremen-
dous national and state victory!"
In the midst of a tremendous ova-
ton, which greeted the completion of
Mr.. Curley's address, the Atty. Gen.
Paul Dever entered the hall and took a
seat on the platform. Mr.. Dever, in
a stirring talk credited Mr.. Curley
with being the greatest Democrat in
the history of the state, and he prom
ised that he would work hand in hand
with Mr. Curley and other true Demo-
Gratis in united effort to return Demo-
cratic supremacy to the state.
