case; secondly. because Of the shameful
carelessness Of people In the disposal Of the
means OF spreading the infection. In the
light OF modern scientific knowledge. the
spread OF typhoid is absolutely without ex-
cuse. and II there are cases of communica-
ton through close physical contact with
the patient 1t Is because of the neglect OF
simple precautions. By the systematic use
of disinfectants and the exclusion of flies
from the sick room. the risk of spreading
the infection through the premises may be
absolutely eliminated. 1t Is possible, Of
course. for others of the household to con-
tract the disease through the same agency
as In the original case, but If there is a
spread from that case within the same
house there has been objectionable care

New Orleans.

AS was predicted, the taking over by the
national government of the care of the,
fever situation at New Orleans has had an
excellent effect there and elsewhere in the
south. Faithful cooperation by the local
authorities Is assured. and the people gem
orally are greatly encouraged. But the
task, with every agency of relief engaged,
is heavy one. and we may expect weeks
of distressing returns from the physicians
in charge. All developments show that the
fever got dangerous start, and among
that portion of the population all too well
prepared by reason of poverty and igno-
rance to spread 1t. Still. with the fever
fighters men of courage and experience and
money in plenty to foot the bills. the town
should speedily be cleaned up, and new
face put matters. The whole country
attends with sympathy what is being done
for the stricken city.

Unnecessary Typhoid.


There Is another outbreak Of typhoid
fever in the Bay Ridge and Bath Beach
region of Brooklyn. We might say the
usual summer outbreak has occurred, for,
in fact. such a catastrophe has for some
the season. 1t is hundred times more
at quarantine. though we suppose the lat
ter will attract a hundred times more at
tention and cause to the thoughtless hun
dred times more apprehension. Indeed, the
lack of attention. and, we might say, of
Indignation Is one of the disheartening
features of many typhoid outbreaks and
one Of the chief reasons why they SO long
prevail unchecked When there is an extra
ordinary attack of the disease, like that at
Ithaca some time ago. people are aroused
But in such cases as the present in Brook
Ign there Is an amazing and most dis
creditable degree of apathy, save. of course,
on the part of those directly concerned.
There is really no infectious disease the
occurrence of which should be regarded
with less tolerance, or which should in
stantly arouse more strenuous demand for
it's suppression. than typhoid fever 1t Is
of all such diseases the most unnecessary.
There are some ailments tine origin and ma
ture Of which are as yet SO little understood
that II Is not possible to prevent their oc-
currence or summariiy to stamp them out.
But typhoid is so perfectly understood, and
the sources of It's origin and the means OF
It's propagation are so readily within con-
troll, that it's frequent recurrence or long
persistence in any place must be regarded
as due to gross negligence of the fundamen-
tai requirements of sanitation. 1t Is simply
inexcusable.

The New Child.

The old-fashioned child would be as ex-
tinct as the dodo. brontosaurus or diplo-
doccus If some of the educational specialists
could have their way. Now what's the
use? For many thousand years the child has
been emiuently satisfactory to it's moth
and grandmother and often extremely
satisfactory to Its father. The child has
never been satisfactory to the neighbors
and it Is reasonable to believe that the edu-
cation expert. let him do his best or the
worst. could never chasten and purify a
child so that it would be acceptable to the
neighbors. Neighbors are peculiarly critical
about children. 1t would really seem an
impossible achievement to create child so
noiseless, so incenspicuous and so unob-
trusive as to be satisfactory to the neigh
bors. There are very few perfect children
and those are our own. But IL the parents
are satisfied with the child and the police

Typhoid Contagion.

In the course of an official statement Is
sued yesterday by the health officer. emu
merating the possible causes of the trans
mission of typhoid fever. after mentioning
the water and milk supply flies and raw
vegetables and oysters, this paragraph oc-
ours:
ut is hardly necessary to add that this
arrangement OF the agencies responsible
for the dissemination of typhoid fever In
the order of their relative rank allows no
place for the dissemination of the disease
by reason OF direct contact with patients
suffering from typhoid fever, because the
danger from this source represents in all
cases known danger and Is one which re-
fers only TO those in contact with the
patient and one which the Individual In
such contact can and should avoid by his
or her personal Efforts
This is an important point to be borne In
mind by all residents of the capital at this
season. Typhoid fever Is not disease
that be caught" In the usual sense.
1t rs of an infectious nature. like yellow
fever. cholera. tuberculosis. smallpox scar
let fever diphtheria and the like, In that
II spreads from focus and is communicat-
ed TO the well. being In that way different
from apoplexy. paresis. diabetes. rheuma-
tism and other Ills. But 1t is distinctly of the
limited class. In that the specific germ must
be taken through the mouth and is not
breathed or gained by the physical con-
tact with the patient alone. There must be
an in-taking through the alimentary canal,
and thus typhoid is more easily guarded
against by those within the household than
Is smallpox, which spreads through more
subtle methods. or scarlet fever or diph-
iberia.
Typhoid has become a terrifying disease
for two reasons: first. because Of its ma
ture, involving long and dangerous sick
ness. often lasting for months and seldom

Virginia and Tennessee.

The Stars special correspondence from
Nashville shows that the political situation
In Tennessee bears points of resemblance
to that In Virginia. In both states the
democracy Is in control, but a hot contest
in that party for the honors Of office Is
giving the republicans some hope of sue
cess in November.
In Virginia the republicans meet in state
convention today to nominate state ticket.
The man they will name for governor,
Judge Lewis. is concededy a leader Of
strength and personal popularity. He is
very much respected throughout the COM
monwealth, and should make a good race.
Representative Slemp. who will virtually
be in charge of the campaign. is another
such man. and has means and experience to
aid him in his work. The main republican
reliance. however. is on the after effects of
the campaigns which Gov. Montague and
Mr.. Martin have made for the senatorship,
and Lieut.. Gov Willard and Representative
Swanson for the governorship. Much Bit
ter feeling has been aroused. and fear Is
expressed in some quarters that the demo-
cratic vote will show a loss by reason of it.
The election In Tennessee does not take
place until next year, but already the pipes
are sounding and the clans are afoot Mr..
Carmack, who wants another term In the
Senate, Is opposed by the famous Bob
Taylor, and a twelve months canvas by
them will. 1t Is expected create no little bit
terness in the state. The republicans in H.
Clay Evans have a leader Of exceptional
ability and marked personal popularity, and
1t is suggested that as a candidate for gov
ernor he would make rafting good run.
and inspire to the utmost a situation rem
dered uncertain for the democracy by the
strife within its ranks His candidacy
would recall the state race of 1894 when
Mr.. Evans. as many people believe, was
elected governor, but was swindled in the
count.
The vote In! these two states Is close and
the republican strength in both is based
upon the principle of protection. Both pos
sess enormous wealth in raw materials, and
in both manufacturing has of recent years
been materially advanced The party Of
protection therefore has in both states
many substantial men of business enrolled
among its members. Still the elections ma
chinery Is in the hands of the democracy
and that fact has in the past counted for
nine out of the ten points in the game Will
1t so count again?

The Republican Presidential Field.

An unusual and most interesting situation
exists respects the republican hunt for
the presidency. Each state that figures in
the speculation is accredited with two can
didates. This, If no change takes place,
must lead to some strenuous preliminary
struggles.
We are asked to believe that Mr.. Fair
banks may find an opponent In Mr.. Bever-
idge. The senator Is young when the presi-
dency is considered. But so he was when
the senatorship came along. and he cap
tured that. He is a rattling good cam
paigner. as Is Mr.. Fairbanks also. and
should they clash for control of the Hoo
sier delegation to the republican national
convention the banks of the Wabash would
resound with the noise.
Then In Ohio there Taft men and
Foraker men. with both sides convinced
that the Buckeye state should have the
nomination. OF the two leaders Mr. Fora
ker has had the larger experience in poll
tics. and probably has the larger acquains-
ance among managing politicians. but
Judge Taft has made profound impression
on the country. and enjoys much favor,
outside as we'll as inside his own state
Turning then to Wisconsin we find Mr..
Spooncr and Mr.. La Toilette figuring In the
talk. The latter now has the state pretty
we'll in his hands, and of course Will en-
icavor to keep his grip on the organiza-
lion after ne leaves the governors chair
for the Senate. But Mr.. Spooner Is much
admired the country over, and that In
pinch should count at home.
Iowa is harboring the booms OF Gov. Cum
minis and Secretary Shaw both OF whom
nave been highly honored by the state. A
contest by them for Hawkeye delegates
should stir the whole commonwealth.
No sooner had Mr.. Root decided to re-
turn to the cabinet than his name was added
TO the presidential possibilities, and no
sooner was that done than talk Of induc-
ing Mr.. Roosevelt to run again revived.
This gives New York two men.
1t Is not until we reach Illinois that we
find anybody playing a lone hand. Mr..
Cannon Is sitting tight, and all by himself.
Gov. Deneen Is too young, and ex-Gov.
Yates hardly strong enough. for the presi-
Dental race. and Mr.. Cullom wants only to
be returned to the Senate. VIII Uncle

As Summer Fades.

The moonlight shimmers on the sea:
The sunshine gilds the rustling wood;
The daisy blossoms on the lea;
The robin sings in joyous mood.
And nature chants a merry tune
Because It's fragrant. leafy June.
Still shines the light of moon and sun,
But with a warmth that fiercely sears:
The wild flowers into weeds have run,
And oft the mercury appears
Ambitious to attain the sky
In speedy fight. 'Tis now July.
A lifeless landscape greets the view;
The insects Shrek in hooking JOY.
So pleasures charm while they are new.
But when familiar, how they cloy!
The verdure dies upon the bough.
The song bird sneers. It's August now.
