would claim it as a right if he found others trying to deprive him
of it. The suffrage is a privilege granted or withheld by the
State. Men enjoy it everywhere that democratic government pre-
vails, women acquire it through special legislation in some of the
States and are denied it in some others. Some value the privilege
sufficiently to exercise it with appreciation and loyalty, some abuse
it and some others esteem it so lightly that they are unworthy of

Now that much is being said in regard to redeeming party plat-
forms since Governor Ferguson delivered his message to the Legis-
lature, it has come* to our attention that one of the planks in the
present city administration’s platform was: “Reports regularly
of city funds.”
But what is the truth of the matter? No reports have been
made of city funds, regularly or irregularly. The Star has signi-
fied its willingness upon numerous o ccasions to publish monthly
statements of the city finances, as is done in other cities, but the
statements have never been forthcoming. It has been said that
the city secretary has not had time in which to make the reports.
If this is the case we would suggest that a few dollars be spent
each month to have a bookkeeper assist the secretary in preparing
the reports. It would be money well spent. The Star no motive
in bringing this matter up at this time other than that
The Star believes that the people are entitled to know about their
Own affairs, and the city government is their own affair. The of-
fice holders are public servants, pure and simple.
No matter who was in office, The Star would demand that
Znonthly statements of city finances * be made. Especially since
the present administration was elected on a ticket which declared
lor “Reports regularly of city funds,” we believe that the re-
ports should be made.

The report of the Surgeon-General of the Army for 1914 is a
document of unusual interest. The outline of the report in the
letter of transmissal states that the non-effective rate for disease
for 1913 (the calendar year covered by the report) is 23.97 a
thousand, the lowest rate ever recorded for our army. This rate
indicates the average number of men in every thousand incapa-
eitated for duty each day during the year. The death rate for
disease was 2.57, the total number of deaths being 397, 40 of which
Vere from tuberculosis, 23 from pneumonia, 17 from nephritis and
15 from organic heart disease. Probably the most interesting
portion of the report is that dealing with the control of preventable
diseases. The record made in our army in the obliteration of
typhoid fever has become a subject of world-wide comment among
military and sanitary authorities. Only three cases of typhoid
fever occurred in the army during 1913; two were in recently en-
listed recruits who were admitted to the hospital with the disease
Inside of the first six days of service, while the third case, only
partial immunity through vaccination had been established. All
three of these patients recovered. By way of contrast, the report
states that in 1912, there were 18 cases with 3 deaths; in.1911, 44
cases with 6 deaths; in 1910,142 cases and 10 deaths, and in 1909,
173 cases with 16 deaths. Among all the troops scattered along
the Mexican border and in large camps in Texas, not a single case
of typhoid has occurrd in an inoculated man since June 4, 1912.
This means that typhoid fever as a military disease, as an accom-
paniment of military service and camp life, is practically a thing
of the past. Only those familiar with the awful ravages of this
disease in all previous wars under all conditions in which large
numbers of men were herded together under favorable conditions
can appreciate the enormous economic and military value of this
fact. The report is full of interesting data, so numerous as to
make it possible to refer only to the most interesting. The medical
department of the army, June 30, 1914, consisted of 426 medical
officers, 91 reserve officers, 16 contract surgeons, 28 commission
dental surgeons, and 30 contract dental surgeons. The remainder
of the 5.044 persons connected with the department were army
nurses and members of the hospital corps. Of the 19 candidates
Who had passed the preliminary examination for appointment to
the medical corps, 17 successfully completed the course of instruc-
tion in the army medical school and 16 were recommended for
commissions. The library of the Surgeon-General’s office con-
tained on June 30,1914, 219,494 volumes and 330,320 pamphlets on
medical and surgical subjects. The army medical museum con-
tains 47,120 specimens. Reports from the various hospitals, la-
boratories, territories and provinces are all of great interest and
impress the reader with the wide range and scientific thorough
ness of the work done by our army medical corps.
