that. in some way. matters were juggled
and full particulars withheld.
But the point of most Importance is
that, with all the cry and promise about
publicity, we are not solving the great
question of too much money in elections.
Trusts have been blackisted. and even
ordinary corporations forbidden by law
to contribute to political campaign funds:
but men and women are being openly ap-
pealed to as never before. and as much
money as possible is being collected in
that way. Both sides are touching
the dear people. and both are contendng
that it takes an enormous amount to
make the wheels go round
Then consider the case of individual
states. Gov. Harris believes that at least
million dollars will be spent by the
saloons of Ohio against his candidacy.
The temperance question is paramount
also in Indiana, and it is asserted that
the brewers and distillers and saloOnkeep-
ers are spending money literally in that
campaign. Shall we hear from this
money in any campaign reports. local or
national? 1t is entering into the general
equation, and is designed to affect the
general result.
Publicity is good thing. The people
should know all about how their officials
are chosen, and then what those officials
do. But we must have a publicity which
publishes. The system should go to the
bottom of campaigns, and give the whole
story. We are not assured of that now,
and should not be if the bill on the sub
ject which Congress at the last session
neglected had passed. Buying voters d-
rectly. and legislation through bosses,
should both be stopped. but more
searching statute than any yet proposed
will be necessary to do it.

Mr.. Longworth's Forecast.

The public will not fall out with Nioho-
las Longworth for entertaining high
opinion of Mr.. Roosevelt's craftsmanship
That Is family privilege. and 1t may
partake of duty. But when as a party
spellbinder he makes his admiration the
basis of a party forecast he invites criti-
ciSm.
At Rock Island ILL.,, yesterday Mr.
Longworth in a speech gave Judge Taft
two terms in the White House. and then
made way for Mr.. Roosevelt again. After
eight years of Taft, eight years more of
Theodore. The crowd cheered, but cam
paign crowds cheer many things.
The statement will make no votes for
the republican ticket. 1t suggests sort
Of trust, and both Mr.. Roosevelt and
Judge Taft are opposed to trusts One of
Mr.. Bryan's criticisms of the Taft candi-
dacy consists of the charge that 1t is ma
chine made. AS the peerless leader puts
1t. after eight years of Roosevelt we have
Judge Taft as a candidate by Roosevelt S
decree. Should we not hear in 1916 that,
after eight years of Taft. here is Roose-
welt again by Taft's decree?
Mr.. Bryan, it is true, states the case in
a partisan way. If Judge Taft had
nothing to support him in his race but
the Presidents favor his candidacy would
not be strong. That is but one item.
The great strength of his appeal lies in
the fact that he is intimately associated
with the record upon which his party
stands in the campaign, and is widely &C
claimed as the best qualified man in the
country to fill the Office of President If
the present public policies are to be con-
tinued. Had he been only one of his
party's leaders, without any connection
with the policies of the day. he could not
have been nominated at Chicago. Not all
of the Presidents power could have
pitchforked him into first place.
Now as to 1916. assuming Judge Taft's
election and reelection, who may with
safety say what the issues of that year
will be? And If Mr.. Roosevelt should
hold no national political office mean
while. what would give him control of his
party then? His present popularity will
hardly continue unless reinforced from
time to time by some striking and sue
cessful political services. This country
moves rapidly. and during the past decade
has moved radically. In four years a
hero, is sometimes transformed into a
hated character
Mr.. Bryans case is exceptional, as the
man himself is. He has held the stage
steadily on his side Of the fence for
twelve years. But 1t is to be remembered
mat in all that time he has been in the
minority and out of office. He has been
exercising his heels and not his head.
And 1t is urged as weakness of his
party that it has rested SO long under
the domination of one man.
If Judge Taft wins next month, and
succeeds well enough in Office to secure a
second term. and his second term is a
success. the republican nomination in 1915
will be prize which all that party's lead
ers will desire. and many seek And the

Close Of the tuberculosis Congress.

OlOSS Oh Tue xUOcTCu4OS1S congress.
The sixth International congress on tu-
berculosis concluded it's official iabors to-
day. 1t has been a momentous meeting
of scientific men engaged in warfare
against one of the malignant enemies OF
the human race.
The observation was made in the edito-
rial columns of The Star September Ii
that AT other sessions of the interna-
tional congress on tuberculosis announce
ments have been made of discoveries OF
great value in controlling the disease.
The hope is felt that at the coming ses-
sion at Washington some great discovery
may be announced
This hope has been measurably fulfilled
and discovery of great merit was an
nounced. 1t would seem from the demon
stration which Dr. Detre of Budapest gave
yesterday before several hundred physi-
clans that a way has been found of cor
rectiy diagnosing consumption. Correct
diagnosis would be long step in advance.
In the conduct of the experiment twelve
inmates Of the tuberculosis Hospital were
inoculated with three solutions. one, the
old Koch tuberculin and the others I'LL
trates of human tubercle bacilli and bo-
vine tubercle bacilli. The reaction OF
these solutions proved that the patients
were not only suffering from tuberculosis.
but also showed whether they were In
fected with the human or bovine kind. In
the opinion of a large majority of the
delegates of the congress the Detre DEM
onstration also sets at rest the contro-
versy as to whether bovine tuberculosis,
more or less common to cattle, can be
communicated to man.
Also would it seem that another discOv-
cry is imminent. 1t is that human beings
may be immunized from consumption by
incubation on the general principle of
vaccination used mainly to obtain immu-
nifty from smallpox. The theory is not a
new one. experiments having been made
with satisfactory results on guinea pigs;
but 1t is yet to be put to the test with
human beings The time seems to be
growing closer when such tests in some
way will be made.
The tuberculosis congress. even had the
Detre discovery not been announced. has
done a valuable work in calling attention
to and disseminating information con-
corning the scourge and supplying the
inspiration Of discussions In the press and
elsewhere.

But there is reason to believe that both

Men who camp in the woods or who
take long tramps have learned how to
reduce their baggage to a practical mini
mum. They rise superior to the petty
needs that have been evolved out of easy
living and slavish following of fashion
They find that they can be happy and
comfortable with just as much extra
clothing as can be packed in a bandbox
though they would never dream of using
SO awkward and unscientific container
as a handbook. To them receptacle
such as the sailors call ''ditty bag is
sufficient.
The average woman who travels seems
to feel in duty bound to carry at least
half a dozen changes of costume. as

erses are going to pass conclusive
judgment upon her on the score OF her

OF course. the woman who settles down
to an all-summer stay in a hotel resort
must have no less than ten gowns or feel
condemned to social death. Even with
ten she may become a Flora McFlimsy
and have nothing to wear"
Trunk makers thrive on this habit OF
overlooking the baggage cars. Likewise
transfer companies apd porters and stor-
age warehousemen. Resort proprietors
unquestionably write into their bills COM
mutation for the cubic feet of space filled
by extra trunks. Apartment house archi-
tects reckon on the feminine tendency to
indulge in boxes as the English say.
So it is plain that If the fashion sug-
eested by that sensible Florida woman
were to spread there would be bitter woe
in many quarters.

Runaian Fairy Tales.

A book of fairy tales was once the
cause Of the expulsion and consequent
ruin Of 175 persons at Poltava. A pu-
pil at one of the state schools there
was caught in the act of reading this
book of fairy tales. which had been
prohibited by the censor on the ground
that certain of the tales might be ap-
piled to Russian conditions and Rus
sian politics. The boy explained that
the carStaker Of the school buildings
had lent him the hook. The principal
of the school reported the caretaker to
the police. and on the ground of this
denunciation the offender was sent to
Siberia.
The officials Of the institution. to-
gether with several parents OF pupils,
were so indignant at the conduct OF
the principal that they drew up a pro-
test describing his denunciation as a
mean and despicable act The only
consequence was that the officials lost
their posts and, together with the resi-
dents who had signed the protest. were
expelled from the province of POltava
for three years. The order of expul-
sion was extended to all the relatives
of the offenders, so that 175 persons
were sentenced to this severe punish
ment on account Of a book of fairy
tales which in other countries is given
to every child to read.
