Dr. W. I.. Holzer,

Denr Doctoi:
Through nowspapor roK).rts, tho
llulk'tliis of the Stato Hoard of
Health and personal coufereucts, I
have learned of tho kind of health
work tho local registrar of Kentucky
nro doing. It Is shown that they not

ing under the authority of Kentucky'
Vital Statistic law, they roimrt epi
demics of Typhoid IVvcr, Diphtheria,
Measlo. Infantile Tnralysls and otlnr

In other ways, limit thu spread of

Ily so doing, tho irglBttar of Ken

actual practice tho purposo of such a
law, that Is to preservo and conero
tho health and lives of the people.
It is my purpose to call the atten

" Hiimmon all honent mm, nil ixttrinlic aiul till forward look
ing men to my (i',"Haiil Pre.Hident Vilou in hi I inmiirnl Aildress.
Wo heartily ri'Hpouil to the himdiiioiih, fur wo want honesty in govern
ment, wo want the patriotic, imptilho to control, anil not selfish
motive, nnd ue nro progressive wo nro looking fornunl.
Tho government is tho peoplo'n, and not the exclusive iiossession
of any particular party, and so in any particular iidmi nisti ation, and
wo propose to stand !y this iidministratioti, and help to m iko it a hoc
cos in every way tiohsiblo. Wo shall try to make it popular, we shnll
not he the first tr, criticise it ndverwely, and we shall not ho on the
lookout for mistakes and failures, btt slmll t-et k to weigh and con
shier, and, if ue are inclined to lisngre some tinieH, we shall try to
withhold adveise judgment until thu evidence is all in until ue
have good ground for piotest.
Only a few dais of the new administration have passed far too
few to give any very definite idea what the future is to be, hut it is
not out of place to say that we like the start that has been made. We
like the new I'rexident, nnd seo no grounds for objection to nny
member of his cabinet. And we like hi policie so far as they have
been outlined. Wo are led to expect a business administration.
That i what we need. are glad the civil service rules are lo lie
observed, and that the chief business of the President is not to be the
paying of political debts that tiie White House is not to be a
shambles for olllce seekers, but that recommendations are to eonio
through the respective heads of the department)! of the government.
We are expecting some innovations, but ivo are not afraid of
them. We rather invite them. We do not believe in ruts. especially
administrative and governmental ruts, We shall he glad if Woodrow
Wilson proves himself to be a Democrat of democrats a leader of
tho people.
We began with a quotation from the Inaugural Address. We
elose with another we like it, and believe in the man who uttered it
We have no doubt that he will live up to his motto:
"IIV hull rt'Morc, mil destroy. HV ahull deal ivith our wonamie
nitcw itn it in, and as il man '' modified, not ax it might le if we
had (i clean xlieet of taper to write upon ; and xtep by utep we ahull
make il what it should he, in the spirit of those who iptestion their
own wisdom, anil acek counsel anil knowleilae, and not self-satisfaction,
or the excitement of excursions whither they cannot till.
Justice, and only-justice, shall always be our motto."

TO GET DOWN TO MESSAGE
President Wilson Is clearing his
desk and making quick disposal of cf
I'lco seekers nnd other guests with a
view to giving attention to his first
message which will be delivered to
tho extra session of Congress con
vening April 1st.
It Is reported that but two subjects
will be considered In this message,
the tariff first and more at length,
nnd the currency situation. It Is
thought that the tariff will not bo
dealt with in a .statistical mnnner but
only .ho schedules that need revision
will be tainted, out, tho details of
their consideration being left to Con
gress. CAUCUS TURNS DOWN IUCON
