Does the reader Of this paper realize that
this very day In this country alone, four
hundred homes are each made sad by the
death of a victim Of consumption To-
morrow will be a repetition of today 8
calamity. and 90 it will 90 on until the

Consumption ia both contagious and
curable disease In its hrst stages. Yet
many intelligent people do not realize this
fact.

do no permanent good they may deaden
the cough and stimulate the patient for a
time, but they do not cure, and they usually
upset the stomach and have a bad after
effect.

political parties on. Blu the old pollt-
zeal parties are not built upon them.
h new parties will have to be and,
as a matter of fact, the new parties
are being built upon them now, here
as elsewhere. in the United States.
What are those differences? What
is the line the President and Mr.. Aid
rich could not draw i'll words? What
is the American issue?
out in Chicago some twelve years
ago, a group of reformers undertook
to clear the boodIers out of their coun-

We're in politics and they fought re-

since. municipal ownership" is the
form the issue has taken out there.
but the fight is really between the
public service corporation and the
people for the control of the govern
ment; and men divide according as
they are for special interests or the
common interest.
In Cleveland the story is essentially
the same. The form Of the issue II

going to take it out of the people of
the State by means Of higher rates.
He undertook to regulate rates. The
issue there was, as in Chicago, and
Cleveland, representative government,
the light was between privileged bust
ness and the people, and the voters
abandoned the Did parties and took
sides according as they were for the
special interests Of the common IN
t~erests.
