THE F1oHr AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS.

THE FIGHT AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS.
The annual report of the Henry
Phipps Institute for the Study, Treat
ment and Prevention of tuberculosis,
an elaborate document of 4S0 pages,
beyond its value to physicians and
specialists, is important to the general
public for the practical and easily COM
prehensible lessons which it enforces.
The fact which the report emphasizes,
though by no means novel, is that tu-
berculosis is produced by artificial con-
ditions OF life indoors. "Of all dis
eases" 1t is declared, tuberculosis,
more than any other. is q house dis
ease. 1t is implanted in the house, de-
velops in the house and it natures in
the house" Indeed. the report goes
so far as to maintain that the disease
cannot exist under proper conditions
of air, light and cleanliness in houses.
One OF the general and most
disastrous popular misapprehensions
relates to the symptoms which really
mark an advanced stage of the disease.
The overwhelming majority of cases,
II is found, pass unnoticed until the
cough or some of the more pronounced
signs of grave progress appear. 1T
is surprising" the report says, "how
advanced a tuberculous patient may
be and yet retain the appearance of
physical well-being." The result is
not only that the patient fails to resort
in time to the only means of recovery,
| but also that the disease is spread by
him through contact with his family
and with others indiscriminately in
the schools and places of public as
| sembly.
The vital point necessarily is detec-
| ton of the disease in the early phases
because upon that depends the success
full preventive measures by isolation
and OF cure by treatment. the para
mount feature of which is simply fresh
air. Conversely 1t appears that little
or no dependence can be placed upor
the traditional treatment with drugs
OF which many that formerly were
most used are declared to be positively
harmful TO the tuberculous patient and
can by no. possibility help him. II
this class is alcohol. once the main re
lance, except for rare and temporar!
purposes.
Coincident with the Henry Phippi
report is the publication of statisticI
covering ten states and sS4 cities, EN-
bracing a population of S4,000.OOO, il
which records have been kept for I
considerable period, showing encourag
ing progress in the fight against eth,

NO "UNWRIrTEN Law FOR MURDER.

NO "UNWRITTEN Law FOR MURDER.
The prompt protest of the newspa-
per press of New York. as well as of
the country generally. against the
adroit suggestions of acQuittal of a
rich murderer under the "unwritten
law" put forth by his friends and sym
pathizers, is a welcome sign of pre-
vailing common sense. The essential
fact is that no such thing exists as an
"unwritten law" by which murder Is
not murder. nor to be punished as
murder Private vengeance is the
antithesis of law, and it will be a sig
millionaire wealth and the subtlety of
highly paid lawyers shall be pre-
vented by sane public sentiment from
multiplying effective prosecution for the
sensational roof garden murder.
The wholesome demand is becom-
ing stronger every day that Thaw be
tried strictly under the only law there
is, namely, the law of the land written
plainly on the statute book and bind
ing on all alike. 1t is open to his
lawyers to set up the plea of insanity,
or of emotional insanity" or any
other defense which is tolerated by
our over-indulgent criminal law But
the sane press is doing a worthy serv-
ice when 1t sternly frowns down every
effort to build up the vicious senti-
ment that a notorious murderer can
be permitted to go free under a pre-
tended "unwritten law of private
vengeance If he is only rich enough.

The International Federation of
Commercial Travellers. which has Just
held its seventh annual convention at
Put-in-Bay Island, has adopted a res

senger rate to the travelling public.
This is the first natural sequence of
the impending enforcement of the anti
pass provision of the new interstate
commerce law. Should the railroads
comply with the request. the CONNER
cial traveller will be placed on an equal
footing with the average passenger,
while the railroads will carry more
passengers and increase their earnings.
