Some member of the New York legisla-
ture proposes to take hold of the Christian
science problem in very direct and busi-
ness-like manner. A bill has been intro
duced at Albany for the suppression of
Christian science as curative agency. The
Christian scientists have put themselves on
record to the effect that their treatment
renders germs harmless: indeed, it Is diff
cult to understand upon what other hypoth-
esis they could claim cures. unless they
wholly repudiate the germ theory At the
hearing on the bill which occurs tomorrow
members OF the State Medical Society will
be on hand with walls containing typhoid
fever germs to be administered to the scien-
lists. The results will afford a conclusive
test. But II any Christian scientist should
take an overdose of germs and contract

responsibility resting upon the physician
who administered 1t would present an in
teresting legal question. The entire episode
is strangely suggestive of the olden times,
when alleged dealings with the supernat-
ural were every day occurrences, and when
people were required 10 expose themselves
to fire. drowning or poison In order to vim
dcate their innocence. 1t is like rever-
sion to the middle ages.

The Price of Tammany's Profit.

The controversy between New Yorks
controller and fire commissioner over the
prices which have been paid in the metrop-
Thursday night, when a disastrous and
stubborn fire net essitated the summoning
of the entire department. The firemen
were continually hampered by the break
ing OF hose. Sometimes it would be
crushed into pulp by the wheels Of steam
ers. at other times would yield to the least
touch of ctndecs and again would break
without apparent cause. 1t is estimated
that no less than a thousand yards of hose
were damaged In one way and another
during the evening and 1t was freely de-
clared that under slightly different condi-
tions this loss in the equipment would have
seriously hampered the fire department
and might have led to an overwhelming
confia grafton. The charge against the fire
department supply division includes not
only a count of high prices. but one Of bad
quality, and thus New York faces today
the suggestion that Tammany's process of
administration has robbed the community

portant branches of the municipal govern

home the conviction that any form of po-
