Civilization Vs. Harlan County

2. Betterment of student working conditions.
3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore.
b. Addition to the stacks of the library.
The need for "something to be done about it" has been felt for years. One of the best sellers of a few years back was a book titled "I Went to Pitt College," written by a young woman just out of college and describing the appalling conditions and goings-on she encountered during a six months' sojourn in one of these company-owned communities. It was one of those things everybody knew about—and tolerated.
All the while, union organizers were continuously fighting to introduce reforms, but it was against terrific odds that they fought. Just what they were up against is being brought out in the present senate investigation, which is specifically concerned with Harlan County, Kentucky.
One 73-year-old organizer told how his hotel room was bombed in 1933. Two years ago Eman Middleton, who was prosecuting attorney of Harlan County and had just started a crusade for miners' rights, stepped on his automobile starter and went up in a confetti of steel, flesh, and dynamite. Organizers described a veritable nightmare of shootings, beatings, and dynamitims which have been carried on against them in the past years.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
To keep their employees from organizing to better themselves, Harlan operators have organized a County Association. The association's secretary, George B. Ward, was conveniently hazy about details when questioned; he asserted that he had kept no records, because he's been expecting such an investigation as this for the past three or four years. One of the biggest expenditures of the Association last year was $8,000 for "expenses," paid to a deputy sheriff on the Association's payroll at $150 per month. Further investigation showed that a good part of the "expenses" had gone to put unwelcome unionists out of the way.
And this is America—the "land of the free and the home of the brave!"
A Bad Policy:
Time Out for War
But in the midst of this campaign, certain groups of these same liberals have called "King's ex," as it were. There's a war in Spain, it seems, and it's perfectly horrid for good upright Americans to refuse to take sides in the rumpus. Even the familiar phrase, "war to save democracy," is being heard from the same individuals who, in the same breath, declare
Liberals on this campus, as well as on practically every other campus in the nation, have been waging a heroic fight for peace. Whether or not any concrete good has been accomplished is difficult to say; but certainly the motive is a commendable one.

Editorial Comment
that no country, no government, is worth saving at the cost of war.
Let's make up our minds. Everyone is in favor of peace—after a good war. If we're to continue talking peace and taking time out for war, we may as well forget it—we've been doing that for years.

Editor Daily Kansan:
Rumor has it that the almighty power behind the Women's Self Governing Association is against the closing hours because the women would be granted earlier right for the women to be granted late permission on special occasions. It has also come to my attention that over the proposed plan, the council and its board would propose the proposal if the women would approve the plan. However many of girls feels that the wise thing for the council to do is to "keep on the good side of safe
New, everyone has a right to his own opinion, but University women are adult women, and with a medium amount of supervision, they should be able to take care of themselves. The course doesn't have any other use to do, and because Hill women are in favor of the proposed plan, We've had rigid closing hours for a good many years now, so why isn't it fair to give the proposed plan a chance? We program women already it work it satisfyingly. Too, Kansas women will resort to other means of staying out later, if permission is not granted them (they're already doing it). If the student government wants a plan to be wise and good at students, then let's offer a little student government and independent thinking.

Syphilis Can Be Stamped Out
BY THOMAS FARRAGAN
Surgeon General, U. S. Public Health Service
(Reprinted by Permission of Readers Digest)
SYPHILIS, our more menacing, nereal disease; these statutes should health problem and No. 1 be stiffened and extended to all states.
American killer, can be controlled as effectively as smallpox and more cheaply than tuberculosis. There is not even serious difference among authorities as to methods of combating it. Yet in no other national welfare situation is the lag so great between the much we know and the little we do. Other countries have shown that syphilis can be mastered: in England he was wiped out half since 1920; in the Scandinavian country syphilis has become a rare disease. Our problem here is this: to teach 130 million citizens that by the co-operation of private and official agencies, and a reasonable expenditure of money, they can buy safety against this virulent and highly communicable disease.
At the recent Washington Conference on Venereal Disease, 900 physicians and educators, state and city health officers, were asked to recombine syphilis treatment. It was agreed that syphilis can be controlled by a three-part attack.
First, early early case must be located, reported, its source ascertained and all contracts followed up to find possible infection; second, enough money, drugs and doctors must be secured to make treatment possible for all cases; third, private physicians and public health officials must be re-educated to form a united team in the fight against syphilis; in addition, the public must be informed as to methoids required for its protection.
1. Locate syphilis. In 1935, 518,000 new cases came to light. An equal number probably were unrecognized or treated only by patent medicines or quacks. In many cases early symptoms are so slight—a sore, a rash, sometimes a fever—that a person may be honestly ignorant heh as the disease until it passes through the latent period and appears, often after years, in the varied and ghastly forms of its less curable stages. Doctors freerates them until they appear with serious diseases of the heart and blood vessels, or when they bring in a wiled syphilite baby for treatment, or manifest symptoms of approaching insanity, paralysis, deafness or blindness.
Wassermann Blood Test
The danger to one's self and others of harboring syphilis could be averted if everyone would submit voluntarily to a Wasermann or other blood test, but since there is no mortal chance of this, the next best thing is to make such blood tests routine wherever possible. Many hospitals make the Wasermann test a regular procedure with all patients. This practice should be extended to all hospitals. Every pregnancy should mean a Wasermann test; to treat an infant, a washerman in pregnancy, will prevent congenital syphilis in the child. Life insurance companies might profitably make such a test in every medical examination; at least one large company takes a Wasermann on all applicants for policies of $20,000 or more. Twenty-five states for结婚 when either person is infected with a ve-
Ganz To Discuss Modern Trend
Examine Workmen
Sound policy suggests that all applicants for positions in the public service, from policemen to post-masters and commissioners, should be examined for possible infection. A few large industries, notably the Du Ponts, are examining their employees and requiring treatment when needed. This type of personnel work in all industries would pay for itself/many times over, both in greater efficiency and in less cost. Employees paid out for employers' compensation. Except in rare cases it is not desirable or necessary that persons having syphilis be discharged or refused employment.
After syphilis has been diagnosed it should be reported to the health department, like smallpox, typhoid or diphtheria. The ancient and desirable doctor-patient relationship of absolute secrecy need be disturbed very little. The actual name of the patient need not be reported; his initials, his date of birth or a number are sufficient for purposes of record. But if, while still dangerous to others, he fails to continue his treatments or to cooperate with his doctor in tracing the source of his infection, there is no need for surveillance. It is urgently necessary for all states to adopt a uniform case-reporting system which will end the present confusion and duplication of records in some sections, and the complete lack of them in others.
Rudolph Ganz, president of the Chicago Musical College, who is brought here in connection with National Music Week, will address the all-University convocation to tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the
No Mass Epidemic
When a patient presents himself for treatment either at the office of a private physician or at the clinic, two problems immediately arise. First, he must be rendered non-infectious; and, if possible, cured. One of the most encouraging factors in the drive is that after a few infections of arsphenamine the patient can spread the disease. (He is not cured, and if he ceases treatment before he is cured, he is apt to relapse into an infectious condition) From the public health standpoint this is important, since it means one link in the chain of the infection has been solved, the problem is equally important—to discover the source of the patient's infection. It is the duty of the physician, usually acting through the health officer, to make sure that the source of infection does not give rise to more new cases. One encouraging factor in syphilis control is that infections always come singly. There is no mass epidemic.
