looked upon as one OF the incidental ills,
one of the most serious, to be sure, but
none the less regarded as inevitable and
incurable and n-preventable. Therefore
the discovery of A., new cases and the re-
port of 200 deaths causes no stir.
The time. however, is coming when such
a report will create a sensation, when 1t
will arouse the community to the adoption
of vigorous measures. The educational
campaign in the prevention of tuberculosis
has progressed to such an extent that it has
made marked Roadway against the old idea
that consumption could be neither pre-
vented nor cured. In practically every city
In the United States committees of physi-
clans and laymen are at work instructing

the means of its spread and the methods
OF It's prevention Gradually the public
eyes are being opened to the fact that
consumption" Is not an inevitable afi.c-
ton, not essentially hereditary. but is COM
municable and therefore preventable.
Those Alb new cases of tuberculosis in
New York reported last week may be re-
garded as the direct result of carelessness
on the part of other patients, who have
spread the disease elements about them
disregard for the health OF others. In the
case of tuberculosis the patient himself
must take the precautions against spread
ing the disease. The we'll cannot protect
themselves individually. They must work
through reform agencies, educational COM
mittees, legislatures and administrative
officers to secure both a higher understand
ing of the nature of the disease and regard
for the public health on the part of the
present sufferers. and more effective sys-
tenn of laws and their enforcement to sup
plement the precautions of individuals
Washingtons tuberculosis campaign has
accomplished most satisfactory results thus
far, and the light of hygienic truth has
been carried into many dark corners With
lectures. personal talks and newspaper pub
llcations the fact that "consumption' is
preventable as well as communicable has
been brought home to thousands. But there
remain large numbers who are still denscIy
ignorant or stubbornly indifferent on this
subject. The work appeals to the public
spirit Of all intelligent citizens, for it is
addressed to the highest principle of CON-
munity llfe-that of self-defense

jackson Day Next Year.

Mr.. Bryan's Jackson day speech in this
town next year should prove a most inter-
esting deiverance. Why would it not be
well for the democratic national committee
to meet then and name the day and choose
the place for holding the national conven-
ton? Let the campaign be opened early.
If II Is objected that Mr.. Bryan might hyp-
notice the committee and dominate its ac-
ton. it may be said that the town will be
open to all, as also the committees meet
ings. Let the anti-Bryan men try their
hand at hypnotizing. The tools to the one
who can use them. The committee to the
one who can hypnotic it. A committee
meeting in the afternoon Of January for
the purpose named, and a dinner at night
with Mr.. Bryan as the principal speaker.

The President On Peace.

The Presidents letter to Mr.. Carnegie on
the subject of peace is In excellent vein.
and states some everyday truths in plain
and wholesome terms Any other view of
the subject at this time from so high and
influential a source would have been mis-
fortune. Had he derided all efforts to
smooth the way for the settlement of diff
ferenCes between nations by means of hon
orabe compromise he would have shocked
mankind. But equally would he have erred
had he thrown his weight into the scale of
sentimentality. and called aloud for general
and immediate disarmament, and the plant
ing of only olive trees, so that olive branches
might he more numerous and easily gath
cred. He chose instead the sensible middle
course. and while advocating peace pointed
out the only means in a practical world
inhabited and controlled by human beings
by which peace is to be preserved.
The average peace orator is puzzle. One
hesitates to appraise him. 1t Is only fair to
acCredit him with sincerity and disinter-
eStedness But ne talks like a man with
his head in the clouds. He leaves out Of
his calculations everything upon which
progress is founded ana mankind is gov
erned. He reasons about things as though
the world were regulated by magic and the
wave of a wand accomplished things He
seems to think that an International council
composed of distinguished citizens could by
simply commanding 'let there be peace
bring about peace everlasting. And so. in
fuenced by that idea, he marshals his ad-
jectives in glittering array. and sets forth
his aspirations in all the hues of verbal
rainbow.
All the great powers are for peace. Their
representatives when gathered together
pledge themselves to peace, and even COM
pete among themselves for the best and
most convincing terms of setting forth the
value Of peace. And they mean what they
say. Peace has great value of every kind.
II is at once both humaniZer and a
money maker. But it is not the most waltz
able thing in the world. There are things
far more valuable, and when they are sac
rificed for peace crime of the greatest
magnitude is committed. The world so gov
erEed would degenerate. until the inevitable
reaction would renew warfare in its most
savage and destructive form.
The second Hague council will differ
entiate between peace and pusillanimity.
Peace at any price is the shibboleth of men
who do not promote. hut imperil peace.
They may mean we'll But hades is paved
with good Intentions.

Quaking Again.

After period of quiet, the earth's crust
has begun to quake again. and there is no
telling what may happen next, or in what
quarter of the world the disturbance may
occur Mexico feels the effects of this
latest outbreak of terrestrial energy, ard

widespread and the loss of life heavy. That

agitations. however. so there is no special
significance in a rupture of the surface be-

the quake may be regarded as a precursor
of others.
During the past twelve months there have
been four serious earthquakes, that which
wrecked San Francisco. that which did
enormous damage TO Valparaiso, that which
almost destroyed Kingston, and now the
CONFUSION which has covered the southern
portion of Mexico with ruins. In the first
three cases the disturbances were concen-
tratrd and fire added to the horror of the
disaster IN each instance, owing to the
demolition Of buildings within a closely
