William R. Hearst.

THE decision of Mr. Hearst to run for
mayor of New York is creditable both to his
courage and his sincerity He was an adyo-
cate of fusion against Tammany, and, it
must be admitted, acted with moderation in
all of the >efforts to bring fusion about.
When fusion failed the question arose What
will Mr.. Hearst do? He could not go over
TO Tammany, and his enemies doubted his
willingness to head municipal ownership
ticket He would not dare, they thought to
have his followers stand up and be counted.
His enemies were wrong. He dares. He
Will test the sense of New York at this time
on the subject OF municipal ownership of
public utilities 1t Is true that both the
publicans and Tammany declare In their
platforms for such policy, but that is mere
coquetry They don't mean 1t in the broad
and genuine sense that Mr.. Hearst does.
The men who vote for him will represent
the simon-pure article. They do not shy at
the word socialist. but are willing to incur
any criticism to sound sentiment on the
subject of their hobby.
1t Is likely that this cause will be weak
ened somewhat in New York by the result
in Chicago. Mr.. Hearst was a factor in the
mayoralty race in that city which was won
on the issue of municipal ownership. He
supported Judge Dunno with his Chicago
newspaper and was esteemed a leader. But
Judge Dunno as mayor has 50 far accom-
plished nothing, and many of those who
helped elect him are bitterly complaining
of his failure TO make good Some of them
fear that they have been gold-bricked.
Another point of interest relates to the
future OF Mr.. Hearst as a leader in the dem
ocratic party. He probably does not con-
slider that he Is impairing his democracy by
his present course but about that Tam
many is certain to differ with him. He is
a member OF Congress by the grace OF
Tammany and what Tammany has given
Tammany may take away. If. therefore,
Tammany refuses Mr. Hearst a reelection
10 the House. on the score that he IS no
longer true blue, what will be the effect on
his position in the party in 1908. when the
question OF nominating a candidate for the
presidency comes up?

of the remedy, because he thinks he has
q right to reserve temporarily the profits of
the discovery to enable him to prosecute
other researches. Prof Behring added:
From today onward the victims of tuber-
culosis may hope again.
In view of the antiquity, ample literature
and profound discussion of consumption 1t
may be surprising to observe that compare
lively little is known concerning this dew
astatng and relentless disease. The the
DRY of hereditary consumption has been
pretty generally abandoned. 1t Is true,
though, that consumptive parents are apt
to bear weak children. and the feebleness
of these children and their ultimate con-
tact with the infected parents is likely to
make of them victims of the disease.
Constitutional feebleness would seem to
be a condition precedent for the progress
of the disease, and hence constitutional up
building has so far been found to be the
only check remedy cure of the malady.
This is the philosophy of the fresh air and
high-food treatment. A man who breathes
fresh air. dfgests and assimlates the proper
amount of wholesome foods, and who abb
stains from such excuses as destroy health
and let down the bars to disease. will prob
ably never contract consumption. man
having contracted it, by resorting to natural
and proper living, may make himself so
healthy that the disease will be arrested
and it may be that he win be cured. Post
norton examinations show that many per-
sons having been attacked by consumption
have been cured the healed scars of the
disease being found.

Wool Hats and Skiptails.

The Raleigh, N. c., News and Observer
observes:
"a Jacksonville man. in dress suit at
banquet in Florida, between courses, seek
ing to be agreeable, told Secretary Shaw
that the Florida folks believe in protectiop.
Secretary Shaw took that little pleasantly
seriously. When he wants to learn the SEN
timent of the south let him not ask men
who wear skiptails and drink champagne
The men wearing wool hats and eating hog
and hominy can give him the straight tip
Alas. for the south, this tribute to the
wool hats is all too true. They made the
south for years the hope of both free silver
and free trade. But for them the country
would have been spared the second Cleve
land administration, when tariff tinkering
took on fraudulent and injurious form,
and Organism would meyer have been born.
Educated on hog and hominy, and running
their burrows far from the big road. they
were easy marks for the quacks, and helped
roll up majorities for every cure-all that
was recommended
The skiptails lacked both courage and
numbers Men of business and travel: read
ers of wide-awake newspapers and maga-
zines, and in frequent correspondence with
the great centers of activity, they saw the
straight of things, and that the south, as
the north. must have sound money and pro-
lection in order to prosper. They advocated
manufactures, and the opening of coal and
iron mines, and other means for developing
the resources of their highly favored sec
ton. But they neglected the primaries and
the regular polling-day and the wool hats
carried things their own way.
There is other head gear besides wool
hat, and far better fare than hog and hom-
my Why should not the south vote to pro-
vide herself with the best? Why not give
the skiptails a chance? They are the men
who secure capital for the south. 1t Is to
them that outside capital seeking a new
field comes for information. Hundreds of
highly valuable investments in the south
have followed hard upon social functions
where the skiptails were, and the wool hats
were not, in evidence. If the accounts were
cast up. indeed. 1t would be shown that
what is known as the new south-the south
of cotton spndles and iron mills-owes it's
existence to the energy and the intelligence
which the skiptails have exhibited, and
from which even the wool hats have greatly
benefited.
The best friends of the south should wish
for an increase of skiptails "in her midst, ~
and material growth In their political in
fiuence. Her wool hats have had far too
much to say about her fortunes and her

Cure of Consumption.

Another consumption cure is reported.
The announcement is made In a somewhat
mysterious manner. but the name OF the
discoyerer of the reputed cure gives dignity
TO the news and once more raises the hope
that specific for the white plague has been
found. That such a specific is 10 be found
sooner or later, is confidently believed
The latest announcement of cure was
made at a recent session of the Interna-
tlCnal tuberculosis Congress at Paris, and
the author OF the cure Is Prof. Behring OF
the Pasteur Institute, Paris. It was this
man who discovered the serum treatment
for diphtheria which has remarkably re-
duced the death rate OF that treacherous
malady. II was also this man who in 1901
was awarded the Nobel prize of $4,000 for
his method of producing, by incubation,
immunity in cattle from tuberculosis.
Prof Behring Is reported to have said
that the new cure involves the use of
neither serum nor vaccine. but that IL Is
preventive well as a curative remedy"
According to the dispatches he will hold
the secret some time as he did in the case
OF his dlptheria serum. He win explain
the method to Drs. Roux and Mentchfkofs
and leave the application of it to medical
practitioners without revealing the nature

Wonders of Science.

Science makes wonderful discoveries, and
some scientists are wizards. Sometimes the
newspaper accounts of their achievements
are overdrawn, but for all that scientists
are remarkable men, sometimes.
News comes from ST. Paul Of the discov-
cry that the cave jewellers had licensed
dogs This Is a triumph of archaeology An
archaeologist out there has found the fossil
lied remains of a yellow dog. with an agate
tag on its neck. and In the stomach OF the
dog was found a petrified white mouse with
a ring around its neck. The white mouse
was a pet mouse, and the dog was killed for
catching the mouse. This is not only a won
derful discovery. but compound discovery
Not content with discovering that the cave
jewellers used agate dog tags, the dscoverer
found also that the cave jewellers made pets
Of white mice and that these white mice
wore rings on the neck. The dog and mouse
are supposed to have been dead a million
years. and yet the dog is recognized as
yellow dog and the mouse as a white mouse.
Modern colors fade more quickly than this

thus:

the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The board of electors of the so-caIled Hall
of Fame, run in connection with the New
York University, yesterday added Whittier
and Lowell to the list of Americas great
poets, but refused to add e. A. Poes name
Five years ago PoeS name was similarly
passed over in favor of a lot of obscurities.
This proves the absurdty of the Hall OF
Fame as administered by men of affairs, -
justices. college presidents and professors
who do not know a poet when they read
him, but ''inscribe' on their walls almost
unknown local scribblers, sectional poetas-
tiers and pets of publishers, while ignoring
men whose fame long ago spread over the
entire globe. Such action proves their in
competency. Poe however, needs no New
York building to preserve his name from
oblivion. His poems and stories are read
In every country that boasts a modern lit
erature Sectional bias may continue to
keep him out of New York's lists of gen.

mitted, except where Whittier is deemed a
great poet.

Keep the Streets Clean.

The recent report of the superintendent
of street cleaning deserves critical consid-
Grafton by the District Commissioners. The
subject of clean streets Is one of prime
municipal importance. Clean streets are
essential to the dignity of the national cap
ital and the health of its citizens. They
mean a lower death rate, and money ex-
pended in getting rid of dirt is well spent
Washington cannot afford to have any but
the cleanest of streets. Cleanliness is a
boast of the city which the facts must sup
port Washington sets an example for
other cities and the example must be good
The municipal government should also set
an example for every householder. If there
are streets in the city which are not well
Kept they should be put in order at the
earliest practicable moment. There is one
paragraph in Mr.. Stidham's report which Is
significant. 1t follows:
Washington is not a clean city. It is
only so in spots and more or less spas
medically as the mantle of the slender ap-
preparation is pul}ed this way or that in the
endeavor to cover the different branches of
the work. The alleys, poorer neighborhoods
and the mass of ordinary residence streets
can never properly be cared for until more
money is granted the District for it's public
housekeeping.
1t is just as necessary and just as desfr-
able that the alleys and the poorer neigh
borhoods be kept clean as any: other parts
of the city The people who live in alleys
and poorer neighborhoods are as much en-
titled to good government and sanitary
measures as people who live elsewhere, not
alone for their own sake, but in the inter
est of the whole community. Dirt in any
part of the city has an evil effect on the
whole city.
Late statistics from New Orleans consti-
tute a strong verification of the value of
thorough civic sanitation. In that city dur
ing the first week in October the total num-
Der of deaths was 121. Eighteen of these
were due to yellow fever and eight to ac-
cidents, the remainder, ninety-fve, being
due to natural causes. This shows the
death rate to be slightly in excess of eigh-
teen per thousand for the whole population,
or sixteen per thousand for the white popu-
lation. This is considerably lower than the
death rate in scores of cities more health
fully situated than New Orleans. 1t Is re-
ported that malarial fever has practically
been banished from the Crescent City.
There was marked decrease in the deaths
from diseases of the respiratory organs,
mainly consumption and pneumonia. Diph-
iberia and scarlet fever declined. This en-
couraging achievement is the result of the
crusade for cleanliness which the presence
OF yellow fever forced upon the people.
They have been fumigating, draining,
sweeping, busting, sterilizing or removing
cesspools, filling up stagnant ponds and gem
orally practicing good civic housekeeping,
The city should be kept clean. A spotless
town is the place in which to live.

Running Natural Beauty.
From the Newark Advertiser.

After years of labor and at considerable
expense 1t was found possible to drive
away the vandals that were blasting and
grinding UP the palisades into paving ma
terial and running one of the most beautiful
bits of natural scenery in this section of
the country. Part of the picturesque cliffs
is still under the assault of the rock-drill
and dynamite, but the prospect Is bright
that all will be saved. In view of the long
and hard fight that was waged before this
was accomplished, the legislatures of two
states having been impressed into service,
1t Is dlscouraging to know that ON the
other side of the state a similar work of
destruction is disfguring the landscape at
the beautiful Delaware Water Gap

A Glimpse of June.

A summer day once missed her way.
While journeying through the season.
A scowiing sky in days gone by
Displaced her without reason.
Both far and near and there and here.
She wandered sadly smiling.
But storm and snow still hade her go
And cease her vain beguiling.
Through autumn's chill she wanders still
And cen mid wintry dangers.
Plead as we may, she will not stay
Where all to her are strangers.
