THE TAFT BROTHERS.
About Charles F., Who is Really VII
 liam HIS Half Brother.

One of the most serious charges brought against Mir. William H. Taft in his canvass for the republican nom- ination for President has been that he is earnestly supported for that office by his brother, Mir. Charles P. Taft a newspaper editor and owned of Gin cinnati, O.
 The Evenig Post cannot see anything either to criticise or to be surprised at in the fact that Charles ?. Taft has for some months taken an earnest interest in the candidacy of his brother On the contrary. we would be much surprised if this had not been the case and whether he be millionaire or paup- CT makes little difference in brotherly devotion.
 Charles P. Taft does eot desire office. He will not attempt v mold any of his brothers policies or to interfere about patronage. What labor and money he has devoted to the cause has been due to family pride and family affection, and 1t will be long time before the people of the United States will find fault with a man for aiding his brother or the brother for acepting the aid of his next of kin.
 Moreover 1t can be said that during all this campaign Charles P. Taft as the editor of newspaper, has acted with judgment with modesty and with political acumen. There has been no at- tempt to make the Times-star the Taft organ, There have been no inspired statements from the candidate. There has been no fulsome adulation of Sec retary Taft. The Times-Star has fought for Mir. Taft juet as 1t has made other fights for other republicans In whom it was interested and It's work has been effective.
 Here Is to the Taft brothers; may their tribe increase. Loyal to each oth- CT, the country knows they will be loyal to every obligation imposed on them.-Loulsville Post.

A GOOD WORK.

 The preparation for the approaching international congress of tuberculosis at Washington goes on, and the inter est increases as the work of combat ting the white plague takes It's proper position in popular appreciation among the great remedial and actual reform agencies of the time. In every coun- try where a proper understanding of this matter prevails there is an awak ened and growing interest, and in most instances something commensurate and tangible Is being done. Brazil Is among the nations mentioned as having Q proper understanding of the demands of the situation. In that country prop CT remedial and preventive agencies have almost entirely overcome the yell low fever, once q perennial menace and plague, and now tuberculosis, which causes one-ffth of all the deaths in that country, ia Icing attacked along similar lines, and with the hope of a like result The movement in Brazil has been mapped out and arranged by experts. The plan will involve the ex- penditure of $l,500,000. but that seems entirely justified by the importance of the object sought and the probable re- suits. In the United States the pro- portion of deaths is large, and the need of active work more pressing. The ap- preaching meeting at Washington will bring the matter before the people as it never has been presented before, and we ought to expect, following If, some assistance from government 10 the ex- tent of its ability under the present laws, Congress will certainly take a sane and sound view of this work and will secure the approval of the whole country in every effort that 1t makes to uphold and push forward the anti-tu- berculosis crusade
