Is Disease a Crime +?

Not very long ago. popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain it is. that much of the sickness
and suffering of mankind is due to the
violation of certain of Natures laws.
But TO say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal. must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong
IL would be harsh, unsympa thetic,
cruel, yes criminal. to condemn the poor,
weak, over worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak

GOLD.

OLD is the Oldest and most
(& useful of the metals. We can
W not tell when man first dis
covered gold and made it into
ornaments and coin. Damascus, the
Oldest city in the world, knew and
valued it; Egypt and Etruria counted
it precious. Abraham was rich, not
only in the patriarchal form of cattle,
but ''in silver, and in gold" The
Israelites, in their flight from Pha-
raoh, borrowed" the golden treasures
of their oppressors. Later, they made
a golden calf, which has passed into
a synonym for wealth worship. Gold
was largely used in the tabernacle.
and the directions given to Moses
show mercy-seat covered with pure
gold, golden candlcsticks. golden ba-
sins, and vestments with golden
threads. The Temple built by Solo
mon was a blaze of golden splendor,
at which the world marveled; and the
Romans of a later century we're sus-
tanned during the obstinate siege of
Jerusalem by the thought of the gilt
tering plunder reputed to be collected
in the Holy of Holes. 1t is related
that at the surrender of the doomed
city the inmost room was found
empty; but on the Arch of Titus at
Rome are still to be seen the cary
ings portraying the wonderful seven
branched candlesticks of gold looted
from the Temple, and presented to
Caesar st. John, in his vision. beheld
the new city with streets of gold. Pure
gold was always used as a term OF
purity. There was little gold in the
land of the Jews; it came from Sheba,
Arabia, Ophir, Africa, and India. The
common people never touched gold
and saw it only in temples and pal
aces. Gold was a gift for monarchs
alone. The wise men brought The
Child gold because He was born Kins
of the Jews"

THE PRESIDENT
RAILROAD POLICY
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION BEFORE
ECONOMIC CLUB AT BOSTON
JUDGE oRosscuP OF CHI.
CAGo A SPEAKER.

Boston, Mass, March 10.-The
presidents railroad policy" was the
general subject OF discussion at the
dinner of the Economic club of Bos-
ton tonight, The principal speakers
were Judge Peter S. Grosscup of Chi
cago President David Wilcox OF the
Delaware and Hudson River Railroad
company, and Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Prouty. Each COM
mented at length upon President
Roosevelt's views regarding the regu-
lation of interstate commerce rates.
Commissioner Prouty defended the
proposed national legislation and re-
ferring 10 the criticism that legisla-
tors were not always competent bust
ness men. said that while a certain
amount Of expert knowledge was nee
essary in the proper regulation of
railroad tariffs the questions TO be de-
cided, though requiring good judg-
ment, were not difficult of comprehen-
sion to one habitually engaged in
hearing them.
President Wilcox vigorously oppos-
ed interference of the government
in the rate question and declared it
impossible for small body of men at
Washington TO properly dictate what
the railroad rates Of the country
should be. The remedy for existing
evils lay, he said in a thorough en-
forcement of present statutes.
Judge Grosscup said he saw serious
danger in the whole question unless 1t
was handled delieately not only by
President Roosevelt. but by railroad
men. The latter. he said while in
slsting that there should be no confis-
cation Of their property or superyi'
sion that in the long run would
amount to confiscation, should join
with the president in establishing a
tribunal through which the nations
power could be honestly exercised.
