THE TUBERCUL4R PERIL.

The alarm recently raised in Denver over the
large consumptive population there has at
tracted renewed attention to the menace in
crowded communities of this dread disease
Smallpox and diphtheria do not seriously trouble
health authorities any more. They have ade-
quate means at hand for isolating and stamping
out such epidemics But tuberculosis, which
annually causes more deaths than any other
disease, is practically beyond the control of any
quarantine they can establish or any regula-
tons that present civilization in this country
makes easily enforceable Yet II is disease
probably within the control of intelligence
and thoughtfulness But the intelligence and
thoughtfulness must be general and il is not to
be expected that any education can do more
than lessen the danger in a moderate degree
Any general quarantine against consumptives.
such as has been suggested in Denver and pre-
viously in other places where victims of this
disease tend To cOngregate. would be practically
impossible 1t is difficult to determine with GER
tainty who are infected and who are not Any
attempt TO segregate from their fellows all per-
sons thought to be in the enry stages of con-
sumption would work untold hardship. Many
of them have to support themselves and their
families, and may live on for years and perhaps
die from something else No health board could
find out these cases without system Of espon-
age that would be ntolerable ANY quarantine
however, is useless which neglects cases in am
bulatory stages The walking and working
consumptives can spread the tubsrcular poison

THE BOSTON FOOTPAD.

That the schoolmaster of a girls school, and a
Latin school at that, should be sandba gged and
robbed on Boston Common while going peace
fully on his midnight occasions is an incident to
make the bones of the fathers stir around with
more liveliness than they usually did while the
deliberate fathers envelOped them 1t is also
enough to make the tutelary wooden Goldfish in
the State House turn all colOrs. like the dying
dolphin Such things might be expected in
city of the plain. like Chicago. whose predatory
minions of the moon would rob not only a
schoomaster but professor of Biblical crit-
cism or a translator of the Baghavat Gita as
quick as look at him.
What are the immunities of learning and the
liberal arts to road agents Of such churlish pat
tern? They know nothing about them The
amenities with which the conscientious high
wayman seasons the Tigor of his practice need
not be looked for from them. It ought not to
be so in Boston. Even its footpad should be
governed by the moral influence of the place
and show that he has q proper regard for its
etiquette and conventions. Those native and to
the local manner born very likely do So and
whether on or off duty keep their conduct I'D to
correct Boston standards. With the interlOper
among them it is another matter, and he NAV

as well as those whose disease is clearly recog-
nized by all. Indeed, they are the most Dan
gerous class; for, while infection from persons
in sickroom can be guarded against ana
threatens at most only those close about them
who can IL they will take perfect precautions,
the incipient consumptives whom no law could
isolate are a general danger. So until the com
munity can be protected against them 1t is vain
to think of stamping out tubercular disease.
Yet there is no necessity for such difficult and
brutal measures as surveillance and isolation of
every suspected consumptive. The transmission
of the germ can be guarded against without in
terfering with the personal liberty of any indi-
vidual 1t is well settled that the poison is dis
seminated by sputum. If the expectations or
consumptlves were all destroyed and not left to
dry and be blown about the streets TO infect
others tuberculosis would decrease. as smallpox
decreased after the adoption of vaccination. 1t
is now passed on by ignorant and careless
persons to others whom they never see. The
other day in Buffalo a man in the last stages OF
consumption was found making cigars and
moistening them in the process from his lips
He was stopped and ordered to sponge
and pure water, the Health Board not deeming
1t right or necessary to forbid him to earn his
bread. For this one discovered there are prob
ably hundreds of unknown centres of infection,
and the only way TO reach them is by education
and regulation. so that public opinion will
stamp the scattering abroad Of spittle as one CT
the objectionable indecences.
OF course, this can never be completely
complished, and, fortunately for the human
race the habit is probably not fatal as some
alarmists, urge. If 1t was everybody would
have tuberculosis, for doubtless everybody
breathes air laden with the germs. Even
though eXpectoratiOn scatters them abroad. nat
ural conditions must keep them under and
healthy constitutions must resist them. Never
theless. it may be possible to lessen to some eX-
tent the danger all run by lessening the preva-
lence of the germ We already have regulations
and signs, but they are not obeyed. Even police
men may be seen sitting in streetcars and spit
ting when they should be setting example
and warning all offenders. Public sentiment
needs educating in this matter. No care of indl-
viduals can guard against the germ in great
city. Happily, however, most people are i'm
mune to this to the hundred other dangers
which threaten them every minute in life, and
there is no need for panic. But steps TO secure
gradual Improvement, both for the sake of
health and decency are we'll worth while
