There may have been some excellent rea
sons for the appointment of Mr. Roosevelt
roosevelt as first secretary of the Ameri-
can embassy in London just as there may
nave been reasons for the removal of Mr..
Henry White, who was so conspicuousIy
eff1cient In that important place, but the
greater proportion Of those who are con-
Eersant with the facts wonder what variety
OF civil service reform has brought about
the advent OF Mr.. Roosevelt Roosevelt.

Medical and sanitary science combined
have won great victories over death in the
past half century. Diseases once dreaded
and counted as among the most formidable
the grim commander have been reduced
to almost complete subsection. Life has
been made more secure and with its health
the happiness Of the civilized world has
been promoted. Still there are frightful
foes to be met, diseases with which the
people have become so familiar that their
names strike no fear to the heart, yet
which annually claim victims in such num-
bers as would cause a reign of terror, If a
new and unfamiliar scourge wrought the
destruction Chief among these great enc
mics of life Is tuberculosis, or consump-
ton. Recently organized efforts have been
made to bring all the batteries Of science
to bear upon the strongholds of consump-
ton, and the hope is entertained that be-
fore many years vital statistics will show
a great reduction in the mortality from this
disease. The Star has called attention to
efforts that are being made to check the
spread of the disease through contact with
and infection from consumptive patients
Another movement in the same direction is
now officially suggested in a report made
by Prof. Hird Of the District health office

commences that the speed Of such cars shall
not exceed the rate of ten miles an hour on

they shall be equipped with some kind of

accidents. and that some new and efficient
system of official control shall be establish
