THE TERRIBLE TOLL OF TUBERCU
L0&S.

Consumption kills $4,000 in the
United States every year. The en-
tire cost of these numerous cases is
not less than one billion dollars; the
cost to other than the victims not
less than four hundred and forty mil.
lion dollars year. A quarter of
these lives could be saved by an In
vestment of s5,50O,OOO."
This is the judgment of Professor
Irving Fisher, expressed to the Inter-
national Congress on tuberculosis.
Every layman who has touched the
problem knows how much basis .ex-
lists for these stupendous totals. They
are awful, accusing, discreditable.
But 1t will not do merely to dwell
upon that side of the problem. The
men and women lost must not be our
chief concern. Their sacrifice was
woeful; their deaths should prove an
inventive. We must turn our lives
to prevention. We have the impress
siye testimony of a specialist, DR..
Lawrence +. Flick, president of the
Henry Phipps Institute, Of Philadel-
phia. He says:
Let US make the people see the
bright side of this problem. Let us
fill them with normal and justi-
fable hope. Let them see as we see
that even the most advanced cases
can be arrested; that all other cases
can be thoroughly cured; that for
them and us the disease can be Who'll.
ly prevented by nutrition, hygiene
and happiness. Let's preach the doc.
trine of good, healthful, sensible liv-
ing, with escape from consumption
as its reward-and we shall all be
the better for It,"

BENEFIT CONCERT
SATURDAY, NOV. 81

On Saturday evening music such as
only a Hawaiian can interpret will be
heard at the Hawaiian Opera House,
for the benefit of the Kalihi Moanalua
church. Strange as 1t may seem, the
musical education of these island lads
has been very limited and yet they
are quite capable of producing har.

ciate. Those who will avail them.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK FOB THE
TIMED ONES.

Some opposition to the proposition
to establish postal savings banks
cropped up at the convention Of the
American Bankers Association in
Denver. The committee appointed 10
look into the subject reported unfay-
orably upon it,
1t is pointed out that last year the
savings banks of the country took
care of $3,5O0,OO0. with a loss of
only 100000, or the barest fraction
of one per cent. whereas the pro-
posed government rate of two per
cent. would have deprived the depos-

one criticism being that the postal
system would centralize the funds
lust as the Democratic platform
charged that the funds might be
shipped to wall Street-although
the principal advocates of the project,
notably Postmaster General Meyer,
have declared II to be their wish and
purpose TO have the deposits kept as
near home as possible.
The DIRECTORS seem to have over
looked the importanc circumstance
that the idea of establishing a postal
uavings bank system was proposed
chiefly for the purpose of reaching
the people who cannot or will not de-
post their savings in existing banks.
The large amount of money annually
sent abroad for deposit in foreign
banks furnishes reason for believing
that this money, or some substantial
part of It, could be retained in this
country. where It is needed and
where 1t could well he kept in circu-
latiOn.
II has been predicted that the
establishment of the Postal Savings
Bank would result in the local de-
post of thousands of dollars now sent
to Japan each year.

you are told that 5000 children are
hungry all the time and that 10000
more are only half-fcd. YOU are face

II these figures are even approx
mately correct the condition among
the school children of Chicago Is GER
tainly one calling for investigation
and relief. But things are not al
ways as bad as the, are said to be.
Even stronger statements and big
ger statistics have frequently been
placed before the people of New York
as to its underfed school children and
almost uniformly they have been
found to be greatly exaggerated.
While there are always some, per-
haps many, cases in every large city
where children are underfcd, to the
honor of American fathcrhood and
motherhood these cases are far more
rare than they are generally asserted
to be. The parents are far more like
ly to be underfcd or half-starved than
the children, for every parent worthy
the name would sooner go hungry
than that his child should be deprived
of food.
Besides Il Is a fact which tender
hearted philanthropists sometimes
forget that the healthy child, espe-
cially one that is allowed to play
out of doors, is almost always blessed
with an appetite and ready to eat
anything eatable. Still another con-
s!deration should not be lost sight of.
In making self-rcspecting and self
supporting citizens 1t IL better that
a child should occasionally go hun
CRY rather than get accustomed to
eating the bread of charity. The
principle can be carried too far, but
there is probably less danger of this
than there is of affording aid which,
unless judiciously administered, helps
to increase the evil II is intended to
diminish.

UNCLE J0E'S DOCTRINE.

In a recent public speech aimed at
some of his political enemies Speaker
Cannon said: This republic of ours
is not worth three hurrahs in the
place that burns with FIRE and brim-
stone If it has within its borders priv
ileged classes. Civilization should
spread over all alike" This is sound
fundamental philosophy sulphurously
expressed.
Mr.. Cannon was directing his re-
marks especially at Mr. GOmpcrs and
contending that the labor leader de-
sired To- give trade unionist5 the
status of a privileged class. If that
be so, there can be no question that
Mr.. GOmpers is wrong. The labor
group, however, doubtless would con-
cede the correctness of the general
principle laid down by Mr.. Cannon
and would argue that what they seek
Is only equality before the law and
not an advantage over their fellow
men who are not trade unionists.
1t is encouraging to hear Speaker
Cannon talking so yehemently
against the existence OF privileged
classes. II may be of value to be
able to recall to his mind this speech
some time when powerful interests
seek to get through Mr.. Cannon's as
sistance privileges placing them at
an advantage in comparison with the
rest of the world and ut the expense
of the industries of Hawaii.
