IMMIGRATION
IS IMPORTANT
Secretary Straus Lays Special
Strength on This Work of
is Department

Washington, D. c., Dec. 3.-Impor-
tant and unusual. statements and rec
concentrations are made by Secretary
Oscar s. Strauss in the ninth annual
report of the department Of commerce
and labor made public yesterday.
"Our agoe," says Secretary Strauss.
has been very properly called an
era Of commercial development and
expansion, and the United States, by
reason of its many exceptional advan-
tages, its boundless natural resources,
and possessing growing, intelligent,
energetic, enterprising and self-re-
liant population, is reaping greater
share of industrial and commercial
prosperity than any of the other ma
tions of the world. AS the head of
the department, it has been my con-
stant aim 30 to administer It's various
branches as to afford the greatest
amount of assistance, Information and
guidance to the various Industrial and
commercial activities that come under
Its administrative scope"
Secretary. Strauss points out that
labor and the industries and commerce
are inter-dependent. THAT commerce
which is developed and expanded to
the detriment, either Of the health or
of the age standard Of the laborers
engaged therein, however profitable 1t
might be in the material sense, is
harmful to nations welfare and
should be discouraged"
Particular attention, is devoted by
the secretary in his report to the. bu-
reaux Of immigration and naturaliza-
ton, corporations and labor. While
other bureaux Of the department are
important, the three mentioned bear
the more directly upon the material
interests of the people than do any
Of the others. The report, as 1t re-
iates to them scarcely can be consid-
cred -, an ordinary departmental re-

French minister. People from, the
Belair and Salines sections Of the city

broken with rife bullets. The pill

Prevention of Tuberculosis
By Frederic J. Haskin.


Jamaica there would be over four thousand deaths a year from consump- tion there.
 The whole philosophy of the crusade against tuberculosis may be summed up in the one sentence of the circular issued by the Committee on the Pre- vention of Consumption of the United Garment Workers of America, in con junction with the Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis of the Charity Organization Society of New York City. That is:
 Don't give consumption to others; don't let others give it to you
 The doctor may be able to cure people after they have contracted the disease, but if the crusade is ever to amount to anything it must be through the cooperation of every person af- flicted with tuberculosis and of every one who is free from it. The eradica- tion of the disease depends upon campaign of education reaching both the sick and the well. The doctors are now able to announce that it is the most curable of all chronic diseases, and that it is not hereditary.
 The literature of the crusade is hope full. It tells the masses that consump- ton is preventable and curable. It carries to them the information that thousands have found good health
 
 ones case Itself is hopeless. he can find consolation in the thought that science can tell him how to prevent the communication of his disease to those around him. It brings to the sufferer the message that he does not need to be regarded as a dangerous person to those with whom he comes in contact, but that by simply practicing a rigid care in the disposition of his sputum he can feel that he is not exposing those dear to him to the danger of in- lection. It tells him where he can get more information on. the subject. and asks his help in spreading the good news abroad.
 Every charity organization in the country stands ready to advise the consumptive. The day for ignorance Is past. Advanced thought has advo- cated the registration of consumptives Some thinkers have even suggested that those who will be persistently careless ought to be dealt with by the mailed hand of the law. They point out that the state takes charge of the feeble minded. especially the criminal ly Insane. and declare that a care- less consumptive may inflict disease. and death on dozens, where the insane person injures single victim. There fore they advocate legal restraints against the careless tubercular patient. Some have suggested advertisements in every newspaper and periodical of the country. and others the mailing of literature into every home. Some would like to see the postoffice depart ment authorized by law to send the literature of the crusade into every home It is believed that nine-tenths of the consumptives, were they cogni- zant of the danger to which they are exposing others, would be careful.

 Tt will get an overwhelming pro- portion of the vote cast in Alabama. The people have come to realize that the amendment offers them the only practical way for getting good roads. They have tried other plans and each time failure has resulted. The only question for voter to decide is whether he is in favor of good roads If he wants the roads of Alabama made better, he will favor the only practical way of getting the improve ment-the way offered by the amend ment. The amendment offers to help those who help themselves in getting good roads. The amendment provides safe. sure and certain way of getting good roads, the only plan of its kind ever offered.
