EL PASO HERALD EDITORIAL and MAGAZINE PAGE THE PROBLEM OF CHIHUAHUITA; WILL WE CLEAN UP NOW OR Tuesday, November 30, 1915 TAKE CHANCES? (BY G. A. Ad.) THERE was a 'discussion the other day at a meeting of the El Paso County Mexican society which The Herald believes every El Pasoan ought to lead. It had to do with the subject of Chihuahuita, that ever present bugaboo of a plague spot that we most do something with sooner or later. The doctors admit that they do net know what to do; they say the matter could be adjusted if they had the power to do it, but they haven't.

The result is that the buildings are unhealthfui, quarantines are impossible, disinfection is inadequate and Chihuahuita remains by day and by night, the lurking danger that threatens to make El Paso me the day it did not demand that the place be cleaned up and cleaned -out, regerdltss of who owns the property or what the political pall of the owners. For years The Herald has called attention to the frightful conditions in Cbihcahuiti. Recently a state expert came est here and celled attention to it again. There are occasions! "flashes in the of sentiment when these things are called to the attention of the public, but they soon wither and die; no crystalized sentiment has yet developed sufficiently strong to demand that anything be done. We express honor when we hear the conditions freshly recounted; we may even say "it is a shame," but who of us goes any further? If we cannot see that it rs the right thing make living conditions decent in Chihuahuita for the benefit of the pzople who reside there, then let's take it closer to home and see if we don't think it should be done- as a protection to ourselves; as insurance for the health of ourselves and oar own.

Reid what Dr. Howard Thompson says about the dangers lurking there, printed elsewhere in today's Herald; read what the other doctors of El Paso said in commenting upon Dr. Thompson's statement; then ponder a litle onwhether it is not the most vital question we are now facing in El Paso. One doctor asks the question, what would happen if an epidemic of a serious nature broke out in Chihuahuita and aptly answers that "it would be helL" It is terse but true. One severe epidemic in Chihuahuita would spread so rapidly that El Paso would have cause to mourn for years.

It is impossible to confine contagious diseases to one section of a city, particularly in a section like Chihuahmta that supplies the majority of the servants of the town. These spread it to the American homes, these and their fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters, who mingle with the rest of the population in practically every walk of life in every section of EI Paso. There is no possibility of isolating Chihuahuita. If Chihuahuita is unhealthy, the rest of El Pago must suffer with it. The only way to insure the rest of the city is to dean up Chihuahuita.

Head what Dr. Thompson says and ponder over it Dr. Thompson is one of the oldest of the practicing physicians in the city in point of service; his experience has been large with the Mexican population. He knows them better than any other one1 man in El Paso as well as any other man anyhow. When he says they cannot be controled that quarantine is a joke; that fumigation is worthless, he knows what he is talking about.

When be tells you that the population of Chihuahuita flocks to the yhonse of a sick person, then scatters with the four winds, with its germs and bacilli, he knows again what he is talking about. When he tells you the flies alternate between water closets that are seldom flushed and the food upon the tables, he knows; these same flies may today be in Chihuahuita, tomorrow on "the north side," or they may carry their germ to the food of your servant girl who lives on the south side; she will be back at your house again tomorrow, perhaps nursing your baby, perhaps preparing your food. As Dr. R. L.

Ramey says in commenting upon the paper of Dr. Thompson, politics have played too large a part in Chihuahuita. Men because of certain influences nave been permitted to rent houses that were unfit for the accommodation of dogs. Sewer connections have not been forced, when every law of nature cried out for them. Inspections of the places have not been properly made, regulations of a sanitary nature have not been properly enforced, streets have not been drained nor paved, in fact, very little has been done for Chihuahuita except to tax it all the traffic would stand.

Poor Mexicans have paid exorbitant rentals in proportion to what they have received, and they have been allowed to live like cattle. They have sickened and died and spread their diseases among themselves and to others. By good luck, we have not had any great epidemic, but the condition is ripe for It. Dr. Thompson says so, very plainly, and the other doctors back aim up in all that he says.

Will you dean house now aad prevent it or will you let the epidemic come, te claim its toll upon your family before you decide that the condition in Chihuahuita is intolerable?

OW and then on a perfectly magnificent day. which Is 1M percent sunshine, a chilling darkness will suddenly fall upon some happy vicinity and life will become soggy and lumpy for several minutes. The sky will still be an angelic blue, but somewhere in the vicinity- a nee-' simist Is passing.

A pessimist is a man with a mental stomachache. It is worse than the ordinary stomachache, however, because it is contagious. A real, dark indigo pessimist will enter a crowd of happy, cheerful people, and in less than three minutes these people will be wondering bow life can be endured under the uncertainty of not knowing whether or not business next week will be as bad as might easily be imagined.
