In the same manner and for several weeks
the country was afforded the shameful
spectacle of this poor creature shunted
to and fro In freight car. with one city
after another refusing to-receive him and
the railroad company not daring to drop
him anywhere. Just what finally hap
pened is not now within recall. Probably
the miserable man died of lack of atten-
ton. Certainly he was treated inhumane-
~ enough to perish. The case drew at
tention sharply to the fact that in this
country no means are provided for the
care of the sick on an interstate or inter-
city basis.
The present case is illustrative of the
need of a new adjustment of response
bility. disease of this character should
be treated strictly, in every instance, by
the federal authorities and should never
be regarded as a local charge. 1t is the
one instance In which the states will glad
ly yield their Jurisdiction. a law of
Congress is urgently needed specifically
defining leprosy as an Interstate menace
and establishing federal authority over
every case that may be discovered. or
course such an enactment must be &C
companied by provision for the proper,
decent care of the afflicted. In short,
the United States should lose no time in
creating a leper colony or hospital, in
some salubrious climate, where the I'M
fortunates may be considerably treated
and housed. There are enough cases
now under treatment in the states, in
Louisiana especially. to warrant the ex-
penditure of a large sum in the equip
ment of the colony with the most i'm
proved hospital facilities. The disease
itself demands study with the view of its
resistance. archaeological science is
surely not at the end of it's resources in
the search of the cause and the cure.
Meanwhile the District must deal with
this case calmly and humanely. There
may have been a spread of the infection
before the patient was found. Hysterical
fears of contamination will not help any
body. 1t Is the duty of all to proceed
without undue excitement as though no
such unwholesome element had made it's
appearance. The chances that the dis
ease has been transmitted are very
slight, and if the local authorities enlist
the cooperation of the federal govern
ment this center of possible infection
can probably be treated with minimum
of hardship upon the sufferer and of
danger to the community.

Kern on the Vice Presidency.

Mr.. Kern in a newspaper article gives
his ideas about the vice presidency. He
would be glad to see the incumbent of
that Office a more active and influential
man in affairs, with a seat at the cabi-
net table and the right of suggestion
about national policies.
The subject is old, and many men of
note have discussed it. But discussion
has never led to any increase in the
power of the Office. 1t is not likely to do
so now. Mr.. Kern's views naturally are
colored by his candidacy. If elected he
would be glad to do more for the country
than preside over the deliberations of the
Senate and vote when tie occurs.
What would Vice President do at the
cabinet table? a member of the cabinet
brings there reports of affairs relating to
the department which he administers.
They are of interest to the President and
to the other cabinet members. They af-
feet matters within the control of the ad-
the reports may ask for suggestions, and
has the power to put those suggestions
into action.
But what would Vice President have
to report? Something about legislation
simply presides, and over which the Presi-
dent and the cabinet have no sort of con-
troll? He would not bring even news to
the cabinet council. 1t is the duty Of the
President and his official advisers to keep
abreast of what is going on in Congress
and its meaning.
AS for suggestions ON general subjects,
a Vice President needs no change of
status to make them. The door of the
White House is open to him at all times
His personal relations with the President
are supposed to he pleasant, and If they
are he can always secure an audience
And If his suggestions possess value there
Is no reason why they should not be
adopted.
The vice presidency as it stands Is all
right. 1t carries honor and no small
measure of usefulness. Some of the men
who have filled the office found oppor-
tunities to render the country important
services. Mr.. Hobart was one of these
He was assisted, it is true, by the tenn
permanent of his chief-a man of broad
mind and sympathies. who invited ad-
vice, and was incapable of jealousy.
II Mr.. Kern reaches the office to which
he aspires he will find that the prescribed
duties are both pleasant and important,
and that their proper discharge entities
a man to a liberal measure of public re-
spect and praise. The Vice President
may not figure in the spotlight as his
chief does, or as some senators do, but his
work need not lack for value simply
because it is not performed under the
advertising strains of brass band.

Yesterday President Roosevelt had a
conference ut Sycamore Hill with Howard
Richards, jr.. of Boone College, Wu-chang,
China, in the course of which the Presi-
dent asked his caller about the possibility
OF an alliance with the Picking govern
ment as a means of strengthening Ameri-
can prestige and safeguarding our inter-
ests in the far east 1t is reported that
Mr.. Richards said: "Such a thing is i'm
possible. there Is absolutely no sentiment
in China in favor of it,
1t Is quite positive that there is absolute
ly no sentiment in the United States in
favor of an alliance with China, save IN
a certain single quarter, from which has
emanated for many months an incessant
stream of alarmist reports regarding the
Japanese peril" II half of what has
been printed in that quarter has been IN
any degree correct the United States is
on the verge of a war with Japan and
only a compact with China can save this
country from a costly and humiliating
experience.
No one has been able clearly to explain
how the United States could possibly hope
to profit by joining hands with China. II
Japan is bellicose the big, habby neigh
Dor will be one Of the first to suffer, not
the modern, well armed inexhaustibly
resourceful power across the Pacific. II
Japan entertains warlike ideas an out
break with the country which it is least
likely to defeat in a conflict is not as
probable as a breach with the nation
which offers the richest rewards in case
of a conquest and the greatest chance of
victory.
War with Japan Is as unthinkabe today
as it has been for years. Talk about an
alliance with China can only be tolerated
on the basis of that remote contingency.
An alliance for trading purposes would
involve a radical departure from our
traditional policies. We will continue to
demand the full measure Of international
rights Of China. and can obtain them with.
out recourse to a partnership. To seek
special advantages, amounting to an ex-
plotation of China, means that we must
run the risk of making our government
the object of deep distrust at every capital
in the world. Our great strength abroad
today is the result Of the prestige Of deal
ing without discrimination and holding
aloof from "entangling alliances We
must remain in that position even though
a few special interests may be disap-
pointed.

tant IL true. But we must have full par

many. as a champion of purity, is at least
a surprise The country had not sus-
pected that attitude. and will be curious
about the record said to support it. Nc
Carren has insisted that in fighting to
keep the Tiger out of Brooklyn he is
fighting against vice. Who Is bluffins?
One or the other. Murphy or McCarren,
must be. Things must be squally in New
York when Tammany feels obliged to
pander to virtue.

country that no local provisions have been
made for the detention and care of such
patients. and the District authorities

"Shall the People Rulef"

Mr.. Bryan is again under charges about
a striking phrase he has used. He Dor
rowed his crown of thorns and cross Of
gold figure from Samuel Mccall of Massa-
ctusetts, and now It seems he has Dor
rowed his inquiry. Shall the people ruler"
from the late Chauncey F. Black of Penn
sylvania. One Of Gov. Blacks old friends
quotes the phrase from the title of a
political pamphlet Gov. Black wrote a
short time before his death. The Pennsyl-
vanian, by the way, was a supporter of
Mr.. Bryan.
Gov. Blacks fate as a party man is
among the mysteries of his day, unless 1t
may be attributed to bis modesty and lack
of push for himself He was one of the
most accomplished of the eastern demo-
Gratis. He spoke we'll, and was brilliant
with his pen. And he was very active in
his party's behalf. But he had next to
no reward. At home he was second to
Robert E. Pattison. whom he easily topped
intellectually, and to national recognition
in the way of Office he was kept
stranger. Mr. Cleveland while in the
White House never found a place for this
man, who would have adorned any place
of a political or diplomatic character
within the Presidents gift. Gov. Black
never complained. He was not that sort
of person. He was not working for office.
and his income was sufficient for his
needs. But the neglect of him was none
the less a reflection on the party manage
ment of that day.
And this fact leads to an application OF
Gov. Blacks inquiry in q way different
from Mr.. Bryan's application. If Mr..
Bryan is elected what sort of democrats
will rule the party? Men of the Tillman.
Dahlman. Corners. Murphy kind? Will
the control be Of the picturesque and
noisy variety-an amalgamation Of fringed
leather breeches and the Bowery style
the cowboy crossed upon the ward boss?
Or will men of the Black type have a
say? Will the Intellectual or the frothy
man have the ear Of the chief?
This point is of moment. for the reason
that If Mr.. Bryan becomes President the
whole Of the important personnel of the
government must be changed. His con.
tention Is that, as matters stand today
plutocracy is in full charge. From top
to bottom, public officials are no better
than agents Of predatory wealth, exc
cutting policies in the interests Of their
masters and against the interests of the
people. This. he insists. should cease,
and II he is elected President it will be
his duty and pleasure to bring it to an
end.
Thus the inquiry: If the people are to
rule. through what grade Of servants?
What kind Of men does Mr.. Bryan pur-
pose putting into Office to assist in re-
storing the government to the plan Of its
founders? II We have erred and strayed
like lost sheep, who are to point the way
back to the happy pastures again?
