from the learned but sometimes
wearying intellectual acrobatics of

il as lawyer, as an executive. as a
legislator, as an extremely practical
politician and man of affairs For
nearly a decade he has been strug-

set speech in the Senate They say out
West that he is I very whirlwind "on
the stump" but his critics say his
fervent style will be hard to tame
down TO the monochromatic tone of
Senatorial word painting. Perhaps,
however, the Senator will decide not
TO bother about compliance with
Senatorial standard Maybe he will
just pull off his coat and proceed TO
hand out the straight doctrine as he
used to do out at the county fairs
when he was fighting all the powers
of politics-and beating them year
after year-laying the foundation of
public opinion on which this great
question has been raised to its pres
ent commanding position. Anyhow, it
is safe to say that he has had more
practical experience with this prob
lem than all the rest OF the Senators
combined; and he has never yet failed
for want of adequate language to
make his ideas reasonably clear.

clusion. It's Judgment will be re-
ceived with Difference. But it must
not be surprised If the community
does not weigh heavily the objection
that the registration of local cases
will expose the patients to an un-
desirable publicity. The newspapers
have no idea of printing such list.
If they had there is no reason why
the local authorities should give it
to them. Finally, in only four OF
the fifty cities indicated have the
lists not been kept private, and in
one of those four it is said no re-
quest to keep them so has been
made. If the danger of publicity
is the chief objection, the law can
be passed tomorrow by the simple
expedient of forbidding the local
health authorities to divulge the
names upon it.
We have made progress in obtain
ing this allowance of 100000 from
the House subcommittee. BY means
of it we ought to be able to save
a great number of that stricken
army Of our fellows who, in bands
of 500, every year have been passing
the limit of medical aid. But we shall
be submitting to an altogether unnec-
essary limitation on that work if we
do not go on fighting for the two
other things needed so badly-the

cases and the increase of the allow

Winning Against Consumption.

The most notable feature of the
District budget reported to the
House Monday is the allowance of
100000 for the construction Of a
hospital for INDECENT consumptives.
Of all the District needs this is the
most pressing The others-import-
ant as most of them are-represent
convenience, or civic Improvement.
or the safety of property, or, in
the case of the additional police
men asked, personal safety. But
the need for a hospital to house
local victims of the white plague
that is a matter of 500 human
lives every year,
How much can be accomplished
with 100000 has not yet been calcu-
lated 1t is thought that the two
buildings most needed "a ward
building and service building
can be erected. but not the supplv
Of tents which the institution ought
10 have. Thus is suggested the
need of action. either by the whole
House or by the Senate. that the ex-
penditure of so large a sum may not
be made ineffective for the sake of
few thousand dollars.
But the two buildings proposed
will be an enormous advance over
present conditions. Today less than
fifty Of the $500 sufferers can be
isolated. When the new hospital
is finished practically all the ma
lignant cases can be accommodated
there. Too large a number of pa
tients will still be disposed about
our alleys, disseminating germs and
maintaining moving centers of con-
tagior, but we shall be vastly bet
ter off than we are now, notwith-
standing.
With this advantage, it is to be
hoped Congress will take the cor
responding step involved in the bill
now pending before both houses for
the compulsory registration of all
cases of pulmonary tuberculosis.
The action proposed is in no sense
revolutionary. 1t has already been
taken in fifty of the eighty-fve
American cities having a population
of $4,000. Out of the whole list
Jersey City and Detroit enjoy the
unenviable distinction of being the
only communities which have re-
jected such registration positively.
The others which have no such
law have merely been neglectfuI.
The Academic de Medicine of Paris
went SO far only the other day as

the declaration OF tuberculosis OBJ
ligatory, and forcing persons so af-
tiicted to inclose their washing in

infected before the washing was

Insurance in the District.

The President continues his effort
to make Washington a model city
with a vigorous message in behalf of
effective control of insurance in the
District of Columbia. I'VE are not
to be pardOned." he says, If we fail
to take every step in our power to
prevent the possibility of the repeu-
ton OF such scandals as those that
have occurred in connection with the
insurance business, as disclosed by
the Armstrong committee" and
earlier in his message lie suggests
the wisdom -as a prime step toward
this purpose" of securing for the
District a proper insurance code
which would serve as a model for
the several States.
With the amendments suggested by
recent revelations in New York State,
the measure cited by the President is
practically the old Ames bill, which
has been before Congress several
months. 1t provides, in addition to
a stringent control OF the underwrit-
ing Of policies, the transfer of the
District Department of Insurance to
the Department of Commerce and
Labor and the purpose behind that
proposition is that the bureau may
then supervise also the operations of
companies in Territories other than
Of a
of this action. it is thought, will be
two-fold:
First, it is expected to present an
effective example for the several
State Legislatures to follow.
Second, it is expected TO impose
such limitations on the activities of
insurance companies in the Territor-
les as Will move them-in order to
avoid confusion-to adjust their
methods in the States to the same
conditions.
The understanding is that the bill
will become law Executive and Iegis-
lative officials are alike interested to
accomplish the result contemplated.
Before Congress acts upon it, how
ever, it is earnestly to be hoped its
committees viii consider the effect
of the measure on what is called "as-
sessment industrial insurance in the
District. One or its provisions would
legislate all such companies out OF
existence. The amount of that BUSH
ness is inhnitesimal in comparison
with the business of the other COM
panies, but in the District il is of
considerable importance That it
ought TO be controlled is undoubt-
ed. That it ought to be altogether
prohibited is a new doctrine and
Congress will dc we'll to look into il
carefully before that new doctrine is
adopted

universally legal must be obtained
in the State where there was marital

courts of the State where the real
domicile existed may set it aside.

the sake of avoiding such embar-

they could obtain divorces whenever
needed, and remarry at pleasure.
