From the Richmond Time-Dispatch
1t is said by medical experts that Of
the 9O00O,O0O people in the United States
today 100000 will die of tuberculosis
unless some method Of prevention be
used.
That is a statement that ought to
startle and arouse the people to ac
tlon. But it will be disregarded by
most of those who read it--by some
because they win not believe Il. and by
others who do not believe that there is
any possibility of their becoming VIC

But the statement is doubtless true.

ARoUT RAcE SUICIDE.

VAT HY is it that from time imme-
" mortal kings. emperors and
other rulers haev deprecated
any tendency to reduce the birth rate?
Napoleon said that what France need
ed most was mothers, and President
Roosevelt has Illuminated against race
suicide" Napoleon's remark has been
given the construction that the need
was for more women who understood
how to discharge their duty to their
sons by rearing them properly; but as
a matter OF fact, he was thinking of
larger levies for his armies; the
mothers Of France he regarded as the
agents to furnish him the raw material
to work into troops to fight his bat
ties.
Other rulers have visions OF great
census returns; Of an increasing popu-
lation to raise the standards Of wealth
and add TO the greatness Of the ma
tlon. Yet all such warnings or appeals
have absolutely no effect. There is
destiny which controls the race and
which takes care OF It's perpetuity.
And some way Nature seems able to
strike an even balance She can take
care OF her surplus and knows how to
manage a shortage. In those countries
where the birth rate is the highest the
death rate is apt TO keep pace with It..
The thickly populated regions OF the
Orient have always suffered their
plaques which have presumably allow
ed the httest to survive: while in coun-
tries more enlightened a greater per-
centage OF infants reach maturity and
the longevity is raised.
1t is a matter that rulers have not
been successful in arranging or modify
ing to any appreciable degree. Wars
have been Justified on the ground of
thinning out people who were too
crowded; and other wars have been
waged to open up new settlements for
people crowded out. Yet neither So
luton is satisfactory.
Under the pressure OF necessity ten
men can live comfortably where for
merly only one could subsist. The day
is far ahead when America win feel the
discomforts Of crowding. with the 'm-
provements which science has evolved
and is likely to evolve. we have faith
to believe that the balance between
population and its needs will be kept.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
According TO a Washington dispatch,
the Democratic National Committee
has decided that it would not be best
for the Hon. Henry G.. Davis to take
the stump during this campaign. Mr.
Davis is 10 be asked to remain in West
Virginia. In fact, there are indications
that the National Committee would
feel safer If the presidential can
didate were surrounded by a barb wire
fence without an exit.
AS an orator Mr.. Davis disappointed
IN his speech Of acceptance. Members
Of the notification committee al White
Sulphur Springs, who had expected "a
torrent of eloQuence. found only "A thin
stream. Where they expected their
candidate to strike a keynote he hit
only "a lost chord. Where they looked
for epigram they found commonplaces.
Notwithstanding his lack of elo-
Quenco Mr.. Davis may be found useful
IN the campaign. II he cannot talk he
can write And there are many re-
quests for his autograph. Up to date
Mr.. Davis has not needed these re-
quests but the campaign is young yet,
and he may relent. For he must con-
slider, in the course OF time, that IL he
is no orator he has the means that sup
ply orators.
The point to be impressed on Mr..
Davis is that money talks When this
point Is fully recognized by the candi-
date for the Vice Presidency. when he
realizes the real reason for his nominal
tion at St. Louis, he win doubtless come
to the rescue Of his perplexed party

Of the honor done him than he gave

VIC PAYs EoR rHE srAMps2

q ONE days since IN a discussion Of
- the trading stamp nuisance we
declared that the people who
buy goods pay for the stamps, and that
the merchant IS obliged to add the cost
Of the stamps to the price OF the goods
or to slightly reduce the quality Of the
articles.
One Of our merchants dissents from
this view. holding that the merchant
pays the bills and. that the people get
whatever bonus the stamps call for.
We are OF the opinion that he is mis-
taken. In fact we have been Informed
by merchants Of this city that they
have figured on the trading stamp
proposition just as we have Indicated
either to buy goods of a slightly re-
duced quality or to add a trihe to the
selling price. But even if this is not
done. and If the merchant is content to
reduce his own profits. still the GUS
toners pay the bill.
II a concern reduces its legitimate
profits by $1,000 a year. that firm will
have to buy goods less advantageously.
It cannot carry large stocks; it win
probably not have the ready cash TO
take advantage Of special sales where
large lots are to be had cheaply for
ready cash. And we are disposed to
think that IL an OF our shops combined
pay to the trading stamp concerns as
much as twenty thousand dollars a
year-twenty thousand dollars which
should have gone into their profits
then they are hampered to that extent
IN their efforts 10 serve the public. their
customers.
