The Ohio Society for the Prevention
Of tuberculosis is doing commendable
work in endeavoring to eequaint the
public with the real nature Of that
disease. and the means that can be
adopted to prevent its spread.
In a recent bulletin issued by the so
ciety It in asserted, for Instance, that
tuberculosis II not a contagious dis
ease In the same sense that smallpox
and scarlet fever are II cannot be
communicated by direct contact with a
person anlicted with it. The germs of
tuberculosis comes only from the
lungs, and is carried only in the spu-
tum. If proper steps are taken to de-
stroy the vitality OF these germs they
will not be a source of danger 10 9TH
ers. It is pointed out. in this connec-
tion. that simple precautions on the
part of a person afiicted with the dis
ease VIII render him entirely harmless
to his fellows Again, the society
scouts the former belief that tubercu-
losis is hereditary. as it does the &c
cepted belief that the disease is incur
able. Not only is it now believed that
the disease is not hereditary, but 1t is
generally admitted that tuberculosis
can be cured il taken in the early
stages.
The result of the dissemination OF
this information among the people is
certain to be beneficial. The spread o:
many diseases is due largely to ig-
norance and prejudice, and the first
essential step in the protection Of the
public health is to teach the people
low to take care of themselves The
efforts of this society are sure to be
fraught with important results.

Jefferson Club took back to old Vir-
ginia to the home of Thomas Jefferson.
Two hundred and fifty men travelled
nearly a thousand miles to Monticello.
They CLIMBED the mountain, headed by
their drum corps dressed as Colonial
soldiers, the members carrying flags,
and visited tie old home Of Jefferson
and there on his front steps, in d
sublime and picturesque spot, com
handing a view of historic ground, dot
ted over with graves Of distinguished
men who played conspicuous parts in
the early history of country, ii
was sought to revive an interest in the
teachings of the father Of Democracy.
His work for humanity was reviewed
by able speakers, his political doctrines
we're discussed and taught anew.
With barred heads and with a feeling
of reverence, each man proceeded tc
the brow of the mountain and there
assisted in erecting a granite shaft

yersity Of Virginia patriotic speeches
we're made, patriotic sentiments ap-
plauded, and the members of the JEFF
ferson Club went back to Missouri with
greater love of Jefferson and greater
veneration of his memory, with re-
newed determination to battle for those
principles which he had enunciated and
which must endure and be preserved

is to survive the monarchial tendencies
and doctrines of the Republican party.
| might say more of the Jefferson
Club. but | content myself with n
final observation, and that is that men
are judged by what they do, and that
organizations are Judged by what they
accomplish. ! ask but one thing for
the Jefferson Club, and that is that it
may be Judged by the result Of it's
work, whether the candidates it has
elected to office have been good men,
honest men, capable men, whether the
theories Of government which it is advo-
eating have been good theories or bad
theories, whether its work and the re-
suits which it has obtained have been
for the benefit of the Democracy of
st. Louis and Missouri, OF whether it's
work has been for the bad. Let your
judgment be based on what we have
accomplished and not upon what Re

THE WORK OF REFORM.
In the election d 1900 the jefferson
Club took up the active work Of re
forming the City Of st. Louis. Disaf
lection in Republican ranks and
united Democracy gave courage. Eacl

rights as othe4 lens They do not
become political eunuchs when they
put or a police Uniform. They are not
compelled to Join the JeAerson Club,
but if they want TO do so they are vel
coined. They have the right TO join
what church they want to. what secret
societies they want to. and certainly
ought to be privileged to join a po-
litical association which advocates and
teaches the doctrines which they be-
lieye in. There are probably about
six hundred or seven hundred out of
the twelve hundred police officers in
St Louis who are members Of the JEFF
ferson Club. Six hundred or level
hundred members out of 1900 mem
bers certainly would not give them the
domination Of the organization, as is
claimed by Republican speakers.
At various times in its history the
Jefferson Club has been differed by
some of the most distinguished DEM
ocrats in the City of St. Louis. It's
officers to-day consist Of some of u
best business and professional men.
The treasurer of the association, who
receives and ~disburses all Of its
moneys, is Mr.. T. R. Ballard, at the
present time president of the Mer-
chants Exchange of st. Louis, an hon
orable man, of. unquestioned character
and standing in our community, who
certainly would not deposit into bank
any money coming from Objectionable
sources, nor would he sign his name
to a check for money to be spent in
any improper way.
The character of the membership Of
the Jefferson Club is that which might
naturally be expected. It has on It's
roster almost every Democrat in the
City of st. Louis who takes an active
part in the PRONUNCIATION of the doc
trines of Thomas Jefferson and in the
advocacy of good state and municipal
government. You will find the names
Of our most distinguished lawyers and
bankers, mechanics and men from all
walks of life.
There is no restriction upon join
ing the club other than that the mem
Der pledges himself to support the
platform and candidates Of the Dem
ocratic party. This naturally brings
good men of oil kinds together. I
have seen Sc : the tables If the

Jefferson Club some Of our foremost
citizens, men learned in the law and
high in the councils of finance, side
by side with teamsters, drivers, clerks
and laborers. I would not have the
membership, if l could, of any other
character.
1t could not be a Democratic club
and be exclusive. 1t numbers in its
membership many poor men, who are
Loyalty supporting their party, who
do not seek Office or want reward Of
any kind. They contribute their Sc a
year as do the rich men. They march
in our parades and attend our meet
ings, and they have their voice in all
that appertains to the government Of
the club.
The Jefferson Club has no boss" as
did the old city organization. Each
year an election is held, Judges, clerks
and c%hallengers are appointed. The
polls open at 9 o'clock in the morning
and close at 8 o'clock at night. Any
member may become a candidate for
president whose friends desire to place
him in nomination. Each member
votes for the officer Of his choice. The
president Of the Jefferson Club is not
a s~elf-selected, self-appointed "boss."
He is elected by the members of the
organization. If he loses their conf
dence or esteem, or displays Incapacity
for the work for which he has been
selected, they can at the next annual
election replace him by a more suit
able officer.
The members of the Jefferson Club
are opposed to "bosses," to "bossism'
in politics, but believe in leadership.
There is no body Or circle Of men OF
women who are not influenced by some
one person. Each church choir has
its leader, each sewing society Of WON
en- has one directing spirit, In each
board Of directors there will be found
n nan who takes the lead and

London Press Discusses Joint Action BY
England. Japan and United states.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE SUN.
LONDON, May e.-Three morning papers
which comment upon the Manchurian
affair, give equal and in some cases greater
editorial prominence to consideration Of the
statement that the United States is likely
to take joint or parallel action with Great
Britain and Japan in resisting Russian
action than to that action itself.
The Standard, treating the situation as
serious, declares that 1t Ia difficult to refer

The last word lies with the United States.

cations in the paramount claims OF its
