Fighting the White Plague.

The Maryland Association for the Pre-
yention and Relief of tuberculosis seems
to be fighting the plague in all directions,
wherever 1t shows itself. A disease which
is preventable can, of course, be prevented.
But there must be some agency to apply
the means of prevention, and the associa-
ton is such an agency, and an Intelligent
and powerful one. me of the causes of
the spread Of consumption is infected
dwellings. A consumptive patient occupies
a house aid moves out or dies. and another
family moves in unaware. that death is
lying in wait for them in their new home.
1t is to rout death out of the new home
that the tuberculosis society has now ad-
dressed itself. 1t has sent a letter to each
real estate and renting agency in the city,
advising them that where a consumptive
has occupied a dwelling the law requires
its disinfection.

not particularly fond Of publicity
NOT PROVEN.


The Bulletin gives place this morn
ing to lengthy communication from
Rev. DR. L. ID. Bass. Of Calvary Bap-
fist church. relating to the sensational
speech alleged to have been made be
fore the Ohio state liquor dealers in
which the debauching of the youth
was advocated Although there f.
much in the communication that II
not pertinent TO the issue raised by
the Or. between himself and The Bull
letin. the communication is given IN
full In order that neither DIR. Bass ncr
anyone may claim that he has not had
the fullest opportunity to present his
case. The Bulletin sees no reason In
anything presented by Dr. Bass, to
change its opinion regarding this al
legged speech. II Is noteworthy that,
while the editor of the Alabama Cfti
zen, to whom the speech is traced
asserts that he got his report from q
man who heard the speech, he fails
to give. the name of his informant and
he withholds even the name of the
man who is alleged to have delivered
lit. The speech" is therefore ief'
WHOLLY anonymous in the face of the
| most positive denials from othe,
sources; nor can the question OF
whether or not it was delivered be
decided by the circumstances cited
circumstances which, at best. are only
assumed to be traceabIe TO the de
signs of conscienceless men in the
lliquor business. 1t is noteworthy also
Tin this Connection. that the Saturday
fEvening Post Of last week, contains
an editorial disclaimer of responsible
lily for the speech. together with an
lemphatic statement from an official
of the Liquor Dealers Association
that any such speech was ever made
as charged. Affidavits are offered tc
Sustain this denial The Bulletin must
hold. as it has held all along. that the
truth about the liquor traffic as II
has been carried on in most communi
ties. is bad enough, and ought to serve
lall the purposes and needs OF tbs
Iinost enthusiastic Prohibitionist ora
tor, and The Bulletin itself has MOI
been mealy mouthed in presentinl
