THE WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS.

One of the most creditable and most hopeful
movements in modern sanitary and therapeutic
science is the systematic campaign which is
ing undertaken in many lands against tuber-
culosis 1t is above most other activities Of the
time. significant Of the profound change which,
chiefly through the triumphant initiative of the
illustrious Pasteur, has been effected in the in
teligent worlds attitude toward that and other
deadly malades Not many years ago an at
tempt to subdue pulmonary consumption and to
rid the world Of the great white plague would
have been regarded as visionary. Now it is
generally conceded to be practicable and to
considerable extent has been already justified
b. results actually achieved Consumptive pa
tients are being cured and the ravages Of the
plague are being circumscribed and mitigated.
Complete vindication of the campaign de-
pends, of course, upon the plan pursued At
present counsels are somewhat divided as is
not strange. seeing how comparatively new the
work is and how much is yet to be learned
about it. But may hope that ample knowl-
edge will come and that there will be general
agreement upon the right plan 1t is suggestive
to recall what has been achieved in respect of
other diseases, and how little could have been
done had the campaigns against them been un-
dertaken with the imperfect knowledge Of

as we do unto them, the Golden Rule suddenly
seems to be a piece of debased moral currency.
An Interesting picture of this human frailty

THE SHANE OF 1T

Perhsps the worst feature of the assault
unon the Board of Water Supply is its appar-
ent hostility to enlightened methods OF mu-
nirnal administration and i'll concealed intent
to drag public interests of the greatest moment
hack into the savage old slough of pull and
"divvy" II Is seemingly just because the
whole record of the Board of Water Supply
has been an example of integrity and efficiency
In public service that this attempt is being
made to discredit and defane it. Let us briefly
review that record
First the law creating the board. 1t was
carefully, deliberately and advisedy drafted,
with view to making it accord with the best
publIc sentiment and judgment. One OF the
most prominent members of the then existing
municinal administration. who was concerned
with the preparation of 1t. spent much ume
and pains in soliciting criticisms and advice
In order that the bill. when finally drafted and
presented to the Legislature should be as nearly
perf ct as the collective wisdom of multitude
of counseIlors could make it.
Ney. the selection OF the three commissioners
composing the board under that law 1hey
were appointed by the Mayor according TO his
promise made in advance. not on his own 1udg-
nent- not at the behest of any party organ
ization" ring or boss nor because of any per-
soma, influence or political pull but on the
nomination of several of the foremost repre-
sentative organizations of intelligent. discrim-
mating and responsible citizens, such as tne
Chamber of Commerce. the Board of Fire IN
derwriters and the Manufacturers Association
and they were nominated by those bodies be
cause of their high character and proved ability
Finally. the conduct of the commissioners IN
administering the great trust confded to them
In letter and in spirit they scrupulously obeyeh
the law They took pains to avoid in the acqul-
sition of the land needed for the waterworks
the disgraceful delays and profigate favoritlsm
which had marked the Tammany operations IN
the Croton Valley. In the great engineering
problems they employed chief and assistant
engineers of the highest repute and fullest ex-
parience in precisely the kind of work which
they were there to do, and in addition they
secured the advice of a group of consulting en-
gineers of worldwide authority. such as prob
ably never before had been called into such an
enternrise as this. Realizing that it was the
greatest undertaking of the kind In the world
the commissioners sought TO make its execution
worthy of its magnitude. Is the public to be
forced 10 conclude that 1t is precisely and solely
because of these very things that the board Is
arraigned and made target fo- abuse and
yiIifjcation?

.SEASONABLE.

Among all the festivities Of the holiday sea-
son. and also among the financial embarrass-
ments which happily now seem to be passihs
away one thing which ought not to be forgot
ten or ignored is the gracious duty or those WHO
have TO those who have not. or of those who
have much to those who have little IL is IL
painful thought, but it should be prohtabie, ana
to the serious observer it is inevitable, that IN
this time Of rejoicing there are many in this
community whose lot is one Of prlvaton ana
suffering. And of such there are none whose
appeal to sympathy and relief is more direct
than those who are lying sick and helpless and
who have no means wherewitE to command the
care of doctors and nurses.
To-day and tomorrow are the days set apart
by long established custom for their succor-
Around these two days are masSed the eHorlS
of the Hospital Saturday and Sunday Assocla-
tion for the securing Of means for the main
tenance and extension of free work in the forty
one associated hospitals of this city Ihe ann
is to enlist the active sympathy or all In pehalI
of all who are in need. Christian. Jew ana
agnostic church, counting house and profes-
sional office alike contribute and the proceeds
are distributed among hospitals covering every
branch of medical and surgical science and un-
der the direction of all denominations and of
no denomination at ALL on the basis of the free
work actually done by them in the last year for
the suffering poor.
It would be impossible to find among our
mutifarious existing charities any work more
commendable than this. 1t is work with
which fluctuations of the stock market and con-
dtions of trade should interfere as little as
possible. Until sickness and suffering them
selves diminish the work of relief should never
slacken We believe the contributions 10 the
Hospital Saturday and Sunday Fund have been
Increasing pretty steadily year after year We
hope that this generous city will make this
years collections the largest on record.

The new building code now penolnS peio'e

monstrous and dangerous signs. 1t imposes
limits on their size. But that is not all tnat Is
necessary. Their defacing effect upon the arcni-

TO the idea of many who would mitigate thelr

Probably in the absence of public opinion max

PAVING MONOPOLY ENDED.

The decision of the Court of Appeals that
patented pavements may be used here, pro-
vided that the invitation for bids is so framed
as to invite competition, is real boon 10 ule
CITY The section of the charter which mas long
been interpreted as forbidding the use or
patented pavements was evidently enacted III
the fear that dishonest city authorities would
make collusive arrangements with proprietors,
and that the city csuli not b" protected by
competitive bidding. AS a matter OF fact, the
effect of the section as long understood has been
to preclude any real competition in the bdolng
and at the same time to prevent the city from
experimenting to secure more servlceable
smooth pavements than asphalt SO long as
bids were invited solely for asphalt there couio
be no real competition, and the asphalt COM
panies have been able to dictate the terms or
the contracts to complacent city officials
In the case on which the court has just passed
Mr. William R Wilcox, while Commissioner or
Parks solicited bids for resurfacing West ia
street with either sheet asphalt block asphalt
or patented pavement. He awarded the con-
tract to the proprietor CT a patented article
The court holds in effect that there was com
petition between that patented article and other
patented pavements as well as with the natural
articles. sheet and block asphalt All future
contracts may be advertised in that form, ana
thus the hold of the asphalt monopoly is broken
There is good reason to hope that the city Will
obtain better and cheaper pavements as a result
of the decision.
