New York, Nov. 2S.-The Rev,
Henry c. Rose, in the Church OF the
Redeemer, Newark, N. j., OF which
ne is pastor, declared Sunday tnat
every fault, sin or crime could be
prevented, every bad habit cured, by
mental suggestion given in homeo-
pathic doses while the patient slept.
Shove me 100 children addicted
to swearing, lying or other vice, and

sitting down beside their beds as they
sleep and talking to them,' Mr.. Rose
said. "Forty-fve of the 100 will be
greatly benefited by the treatment
and only twelve will fall entirely to
respond"
Mr.. Rose cited an instance in
which he and the Rev. E'wood Wor-
cester, pastor of Emmanuel Protest
ant Episcopal church of Boston, en-
gagged jointly in which 100 children
were treated" for depravity with the
result he outlined.

rious states. And under these state
,43anizations, or Independent OF them
ohere are nearly 200 associations in
lhe principal cities of the country.
The increase in the number of san
atoria at the present time, Is also
particularly noteworthy, since the
need for beds for tuberculosis patients
IS evident in every state. There are,
at the present time $50 sanatoria and
hospitals making special provision
'or tuberculosis patients, and the en-
tire bed capacity OF all these institu-
ions is but $1,000. When 1t is con
sidered that there are in the United
States, at least 100000 people suf-
fering from tuberculosis, 1-3 OF which
number ought 10 be in sanatoria or
hospitals, the lack of proper bed ca
pacity is very evident.
The dispensary movement one OF
the later phases in the anti-tubercu-
losis campaign. is also receiving a
great impetus. Four years ago, there
were only 10 dispensarles in the
United States; at the present time,
there are 1865, and new ones are be-
Ing established at the rate of one a
week. These dispensarles are places
to which anyone thinks that he has
consumption, or knows that he has
the disease, may go and be examined
and given proper advice and treat
ment free of charge, or for a very
small sum. The emphasis In these
institutions has been laid a regular
and sanitary life on the part of the
patient and on his sleeping in the
open air.

Representative Burton, too, went to
Hot Springs with the firm intention
to keep clear of the speakership
game. He was warned by his best
friends that any connection Of his
name with talk of opposition to Can
non would weaken their work to Sc
cure votes for him in the senate race,
1t is obviously difficult for any man
to run for two offices at once and
hold his support in both directions.
Mr.. Burton saw this clearly and as
sured those with whom he talked
that he would not let his name be
used in connection with the speaker
ship out of Hot Springs. He did hold
out pretty well yesterday, and, of
course, he is careful to say in his
statement that his ambition lies in
the direction of the senate, He has
been switched away from a position
he was determined to maintain. how
ever which is evidence of strong
pressure brought by the president
elect.
General opinion here is skeptical OF
MIR. Taft's ability to upset Speaker
Cannon. The saving reservation Is
made, however, that such a thing
has never been tried in the history
of the republic. President Cleveland
expressed a speakershlp pelerence for
Mills, who was beaten. Cleveland
was badly worsted, too, in his tariff
fight with congress. Serene Payne
compared the possibility of Cannon's
defeat with the possibility of an
earthquake destroying Washington.

said he would go so far as to help
elect a Democratic speaker If upset

as reasonable, but It is admitted
that president-elect could force the

Mr.. Taft would have to use the
power and patronage of the presiden-
cy, including that of signing bills,
to their fullest extent, however. He
would face tne furious opposition OF
a senate crowd not only hand in

labor of Europe. But here comes the

openly that his company can get

others which are able to weathe the

they are demanding that the people

corporations. The trusts have been
favored long enough and now it is
time that the people we're given a
show. In revising the tariff, the Re-
publicans should give us revision
which will lower the cost of the
necessities of life and make it easier
for the common people, who compose

of this country, to live better and

An Institution Being Established Every pay in United States

Every other day sees a sanatorium
association, or dispensary for the
treatment or prevention of tubercu-
losis established in this country, is a
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis. During
the months of September and Oc-

provided for in the United States,
making a record OF achievement in
anti-tuber culosis activity never before
equalled in any country OF the world.
The stimulus for this wave of phil

largely from the recsnt International

CARNEGIE'S STAND

The Republicans can not have a
valid excuse for not revising the tar
iff in places where 1t will do the con-
sumer some good. Andrew Carnegie,
the head of the steel trust and one o.
the men who has profited very widely
by the operation of the high tariff,
which the Republicans have chosen
to call a protective tariff for the pro-
lection of infant industries, has de-
clared that his trust is now able to
let go its hold upon the public teat
and support itself. This is quite an
admission for a man like Carnegie
TO make, and it explains in part the
deduction of four dollars which was
recently announced by the steel trust
upon steel rails.
AS is well known the steel trust,
and through it Mr.. Carnegie, the
man who has been at the head Of the
corporation for a number of years
has been profting very extensively
because of the high tariff which has
been in operation. II has been per-
mitted to bleed the American con-
sumer and amass great fortunes. 1t
has been selling to the foreign con.
sumer at a lower figure than to the
home consumer, and in this manner
has been competing with foreign
makers of steel products, while the
home market has been closed to the
foreigners All of this time the cor
poration has been employing the
cheap labor of foreign countries and
instead of the American working man
being protected he has been paying
tribute to this great corporation.
Now the head of this trust is will
ing to admit that 1t can get along
very nicely without this high tar
Z III and h, advocating that the tariff
on steel products be reduced and in
addition to this that the duty on
other articles which the common
people need be reduced and tat the
duty on luxuries, which only the rich
can enjoy, be allowed 10 remain
where it Is, or that it even be in
creased. This declaration OF Mr.. Car
4 negie's should serve to raise him in
the estimation of the people several
notches. He has always been looked
upon as a sort of a tyrant who
thought only of himself and his own
interests, but this declaration shows
that he has some of the milk of hum
an kindness in his breast and that he
Z Is not such very bad man as he has
been pictured.
The Republicans have been claim
ing all of these years that it would
never do to lower the tariff on these
products because OF the hardship
which would be worked upon the
American laboring man. There have
pictured to the workingman how the
reduction of this tariff would put all
