384 • FIFTY-SEVENTII ANNUAL SESSION great prohibition wave. Governor Aycock will go down in history as the great "educational Governor." Governor Glenn will be known to future generations as the great "prohibition Governor." Two other great questions are pending and sooner or later will sweep the country like great tidal waves, and establish better conditions for all the people. These are "better public roads" and "better public health conditions." The time is close at hand when we will have a better public roads Governor, who will give us better public roads, which is now one of the great needs of the State. Of these several great economic questions, the one that far outweighs any of the others, is "better public health conditions." The time is not far distant when we shall have a great public health wave that shall sweep the entire country. Better public health conditions will be the paramount thought in the minds of the people, and will occupy the first place in affairs of State. We shall have a great public health Governor, who should be chosen from the ranks of our profession. The nation will be engaged in inaugurating and building great sanitary institutions in place of great battleships. It will be drilling, equipping and maintaining an army to wage a crusade against infectious disease of every kind in place of war against our fellow men. When that good day conies we will look back and wonder that North Carolina was so slow in enacting and enforcing a few effective sanitary laws against an enemy like typhoid fever, that is causing annually so much sickness, suffering, loss of time, expense and mortality amongst her people. We will stop spreading disease broadcast in the land by stream pollution as now practiced by our towns and cities. The health of all the people will be held above the liberty of the individual or the convenience of the municipal community. The trained doctor will be the trained health officer. His chief work will consist in preventing disease, in place of mitigating and curing it. He will receive a fixed salary o o o f from the State in place of fees from the individual.
