Municipal Hospitals.

There is qualification in learning that
the District Commissioners will soon have
ready the plans for the municipal tubercu-
losis hospital and that then work Will go
briskly forward on that institution. The
need for this work is pressing. The crea-
ton of this hospital Is in line with the
worlds endeavor to arrive at solution
of one Of the worlds great problems-tubet-
culosis. A tuberculosis hospital is not an
experiment. It long ago passed out OF the
experimental stage. 1t saves many lives
by isolating many victims of the disease
and giving this much protection to the un-
infected part Of the community. AS to the
patients themselves many authenticated
cures have been reported from sanatoria.
where sufferers from the white plague have
been given the fresh-air and good-food
treatment.
Following this municipal tuberculosis hos
pital, just as soon as the appropriation can
be obtained, should come a general muni-
cipal hospital for chronic cases which pri-
vate hospitals will not admit. In the words
of Commissioner Macfarand these unfor-
tunates are now housed in the makeshift
hospital between the Jail and the work
house. which is the only place for the
chronic sick poor at present.

ton which controls, more than a certain
portion of the total product-this proportion
to be arbitrarily fixed at point wnicn
will give free operation to competition.
The editor of the iron journal then sub
mitted to Mr., Bryan a statement showing
that the United States Steel Corporation In
1905 produced over fifty-six per cent of the
iron ore of the United States. .sixty-two per
cent of the coke, nfty-five per cent OF the
pig iron. forty per cent of the crude steel.
ffty-two per cent of finished rolled products,
thirty-four per cent of the wire nails and
twenty-eight per cent of the tin and tern
plates. He then asked Mr.. Bryan, do you
consider this corporation a, trust, would you
refuse 1t license. and to what extent
would you compel 1t to dismantle its plants
and reduce it's output SO that it might not
be a trust?"
Mr.. Bryan in reply said that he was not
prepared to state just what proportion
corporation could control without becom-
ing a trust in the sense that it limited
competition and controlled the price and
terms of sale.
He said: II have only been contending for
a principle. The details are less important,
as they can be determined according to sex-
perience and experiment / am inclined to
believe, however. that the steel trust con-
trolls more of the products than 1t Is good
for the American people that one corpora
tion should"
The iron editor points out that Mr.. Bryan
is not prepared to define just when cor.
poration becomes trust Is not prepared to
call the United States Steel Corporation a
trust. and yet writes Of 1t as the steel
trust"

Politics.

In the course of time many conferences
have been held with the aim Of amelioratfng
the cruelties OF war. This Is eminently
proper. The cruelties' of war deserve to
be arneliorated. In fact there ought to be
no cruelty in war. In fact there ought TO
be no war. 1t Is more or less hazardous to
those engaged In it and decidedly expen-
sive to those who have to pay for it. But
in the present imperfect condition Of hu-
man nature war seems necessary for the
worlds peace.
But while good-natured surgical experts
are searching for ways to heal wounds
quicker, that the wounded may the sooner
get back to the firing line that they
may wound and be wounded some more,
and while equally good natured philan-
thropists are seeking to make war mercl-
full, it seems strange that nobody thinks
of introducing sanitary measures and mer-
ciful tactics into politics.
Politics is sphere of human, or inhu-
man. activity, where the black flag dark
ems the landscape, where the white flag
Is fair target where dum-dum bullets and
poisoned arrows are the fashion, where
guerrilla tactics bushwhacking, snping and
ambushing are considered polite practices
and where the rules and usages of civil
lied warfare are held in no esteem.

man on a government ownership platform

man on a government ownership platform
could carry the blue grass commonwealth.
But the lower southern states remain
stronghold upon which any man represent
ing anything may rely If he can secure
nomination in democratic national con-
vention.
And the most surprising and regrettable
feature of the matter is that this strength
of the lower south, thus thrown here, there.
and anywhere. is largely unconstitutional.
If the south's representation in Congress
and the electoral college were made to
conform to the Constitution we should have
a shake-up in national calculations which
would benefit all sections. the south in
cluded. Reduce that representation by
thirty-fve or forty votes. as the penalty for
the notification Of the Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth amendments and the free silver
menace, the free trade menace, and the
government ownership menace. would disap-
pear. The solid south would then cut a
different figure in the national equation.
and would not long remain solid. The busi-
ness men OF the section would come to the
front, and under a new leadership, strongly
Influenced by them, business would be sub
stituted for bugaboo, and new and better
local era inaugurated.

The Third Term Talk.

Js tbere any excuse for further talk about
drafting Mr. Roosevelt for another term In
the White House?
For a time the Bryan cry was loud and
resonant. The peerless leader was adver-
tised as having grown sane and sate, ana
the gold democrats snuggled up to MIN.
Mr.. Watterson accepted him without res
ervation. and predicted his election in 1903.
Col. Villas, David r. Francis. and other
former lieutenants Of Mr.. Cleveland, foi-
lowed suit. and manifested all the zeal or
new converts. The original Bryan men
were OF course sitting tight. and were In a
fever of ecstasy. 1t looked for all the
world as If the democracy had buried all
differences. and under the Nebraskan
would be able to put up a spirited fight
Hence the suggestion that the republicans
might find 1t necessary to overrule Mr.
Roosevelt's decision and oEce more place
their standard in MS hand
In moment in the twinkiing of an
eye the sane and safe Bryan disappeared.
and Bryan more radical thar ever swan
into the ken All now is changed. The
gold democrats are aghast, and some are
in open rebellion. Mr.. Watterson sticks,
but bristles with protest, and tells Mr.
Bryan that government ownership of rail-
roads is neither democratic nor American,
and unless abandoned, p. d. a., it will spell
another defeat for the party. Even some
of the old guard are faltering. They have
gone long way with their hero. but this
new path causes them to halt and
scratch their heads.
Again, then, division in the democracy
and a sort of chaos. What have the repub-
licans to do but keep their heads. hold to-
gether, and bid again under competent and
conservative leadership for the support of
the people on a platform of sound money,
protection, government regulation of rail-
road rates. control of trusts and generat
progress. That ought to be sufficient to
carry the day.
Their field of candidates was never better.
Whether we consider Judge Taft. Mr.. Fair
banks. Mr. Cannon. Mr.. Spooner. or Mr..
Foraker, we find a man of strength, capac-
ity. experience. and high character. not only
competent to the duties of the presidency.
but in line with the traditions of his party
and the policies which have given to the
country it's phenomenal prosperity. All are
capital campaigners, and either as his
party's nominee would make a brilliant
race. -. ,,
AS matters now appear Mr.. Roosevelt
should not will not be tempted to forego
hts wise and most honorable resolution not
to stand again for the presidency. The
third-term issue would, be a heaxen-se
boon to the democrats. 1t would be mamma

From the New York Sun.
Whether the late Sir Edward Chichester
when in command OF British squadron in
Manila bay in 1898 showed q particular de-
gree of friendship for the United States
and its representative, George Dewey, or
acted strictly according TO the requirements
of naval etiquette in his intercourse with
the commander of the German squadron
present In the bay will make no difference
with the regard In which his memory will
be held In America. That Chichester told
Won Ddedrichs to ask Dewey where Eng
lands ships would be in case OF trouble be-
tween the United States and Germany will
never be doubted In this country. No denial
or explanation OF this story can overtake
and displace 1t. and 1t has given to the man

ton such as no other British naval officer

election, and results are in doubt. VIII
Odell and Quigg. representing the democratic

When is a Trust a Trustp

The editor OF the Iron Trade Review
thinks that Mr.. Bryan In his Illumination
against trusts is evasfve and indefinite He
charges that the master of rhetoric talks
loosely. It is interesting to see whether he
makes good the charge. The editor of the
trade paper recently called upon Mr.. Bryan
for his definition of trust. He pointed
out that Mr. Bryan in his Madison Square
Garden speech said that "any corporation
which controls SO much of the product of
any article that 1t can fix the terms and
conditions of sale is trust" and that he
also said this:
"It is far easier to prevent monopoly than
to watch It and to punish 1t, and this pre-
vention can be accomplished In q practical
way by refusing a license to any corpora

The Solid South.
The Nashville Banner says:

THE solid south. with its historic and un-
controllable attachment to the democratic
organization and name. is the most that Is
left of stability in old party lines. Without
the assured vote of the south. which went
equally to Cleveland. to Bryan, to Parker
old party lines would assuredly melt away
and there would be new alignments on radi-
cal and conservative issues"
The solid south was never a greater DO
1itical mistake. of peril all around. than II
is today. All is confessed In the fact that
its votes were cast for Cleveland In 1892
for Bryan in 1896 and 19Oo and for Parker
In 1904. A gold man under gold influences
one time, silver man under silver In
huences the next time and then a gold man
with silver voting record the next time
were all alike acceptable to the south Ia
IL possible to Imagine ticket carrying the
democratic label which the south as a..
present led would not support?
Mr.. Bryan does not appear disturbed
about the outcry in his party against gov
ernment ownership of railroads. Is 1t not
because that outcry comes principally from
the south? Has he not the right to believe
that II he can win over sufficient votes in
the west and middle states In favor of his
project he can dragoon the south into an
acceptance of his candidacy on govern
ment ownership platform? Is there any
limit to the complacency of men who have
gone from Cleveland to Bryan, and from
Bryan to Parker. ON the chase for office?
West Virginia, some years ago, cut loose
from this sor. of thing. and has since been
growing rapidly. Her influence Is all for
sound American policies. Maryland twice
repudiated the folly: and Mr.. Bryan. or
anybody else. on a government ownership
platform. would be showed under In that
state. Kentucky rejected Mr.. Bryan In
1895. and might have repeated the perform
ance in 1900 but for the Goebe, elections
law and the Goebel tragedy. which gave
the democrats a temporary advantage. No

Mr.. Bryan and Cuba.

Mr. Bryan has a remarkable faculty for
opposition. A dispatch from Roanoke, Va.
says that he gave there the first expression
he has made on the present Cuban situa-
ton. He said:
Il am very glad that the administration
recalled the troops landed at Havana.
While We should do all in our power to
bring about peace by offering the good Of
fees of our country. We have no business
interfering with their local affairs. They
must settle the disputes among themselves,
but 1 would be glad II both parties would
be willing to accept mediation, with the
idea Of bringing about an agreement
through the good offices of our govern
ment."
The President Of the United States has
interfered, and the interference is indorscd
not only by the press which usually sup
ports the administration view, but by the
press which usually opposes that view The
interference has already borne good fruit.
Since the interference there has been strong
talk of peace between the Cuban govern
ment and the .revolutionists. They would
rather forego the fun of fighting than have
Uncle Sam take a hand He would
straighten out the tangle but he might
hurt somebody in the Strengthening
process. If the interference of the President
stops the fight, life and property will be
saved This. makes the interference worth
while.
The New York Times today says: s:.s, ;,
The cessation of hostlities in Cuba, fol-
lowing Immediately upon the departure Of
Mr.. Bacon and Mr.. Taft, Is like The sudden
silence that falls upon the nursery when
the quick ears of embattled childhood de-
tect the heavy parentaf fOotstep on the
stair. Our Cuban neighbors are in truth
very much like children. and too evidently
are very much in doubt as to what the
Presidents messengers are going to do to
them. They are above the age of spanking,
yet they manifestly stand in need OF correc-
ton
There is no doubt about the legal right Ct
the United States to interfere. The Platt
amendment to the army appropriation act
of 1901 was adopted as part Of the con-
stitution Of Cuba, and its terms incor-
porated in a treaty between Cuba and the
United States. One provision Of the Platt
amendment reads:
That the government Of Cuba consents
that the United States may exercise the
right to intervene for the preseI ovation of
Cuban independence. the maintenance of a
government adequate for the protectio OF
life, property and individual liberty, ard
for dscharging the obligations with respect
to Cuba imposed by the treaty Of Paris on
the United States. now to be assumed ard
undertaken by the government of Cuba"
Yet Mr.. Bryan says he would not inter-
fere. Then he hedges and says: I'VE should
do all in our power to bring about oaace by
offering the good offices of our country"
then he hedges again and says: They must
settle the disputes among themselves; and
then he hedges again by saying: Il would
be glad If both parties would be willing to
accept mediation"
