ly. But who knows what Hearst may
now say about Mr.. Ridder. Who
knows what he would say about an
archangel, if one were to be appoint ted
treasurer of the Democratic national
committee? And whatever Hearst
might charge, President Roosevelt
could, no doubt, be depended upon to
indOrse, so that there is no assurance
that Mr.. Bryan can now keep cam
paign treasurer a week. But 1t is to
be hoped that before the president
goes after poor Ridder under the
Hearst leadership, he will attend suit
ably to the case of Treasurer Sheldon
of the republican committee. 1t is
painful to recall the fact that Oden a
few years ago forbade Mr.. Sheldon's
nomination as lieutenant governor OF
New York on the ground that his in
innate connection with some notorious
trusts made him impossible as party
candidate. And that was before the
great moral uplift of the time had got
we'll under way. Surely Sheldon ought
to follow Haskell. For if the governor
of Oklahoma, whose Standard OIL con-
nections remain improved, is not good
enough to handle Democratic funds,
then Mr. Sheldon, who was turned
down even by Odell, becomes an i'm

The following from The Outlook"
will be of interest to Pensacolians,
and the same plan, or a better one
if possible should be adopted in this
city:
The mayor of Birmingham, Ala

hit upon a happy idea for activity

LITIGATION of the city. He is promoting
this end by getting each block to
form a little organization whose sole
business it will be to look after its
own improvement. He believes that,
to be effective, the movement must
be taken charge of by women, as, to
quote his own words, they are more
interested than men and have better
judgment in such matters. They
realize more fully their Importance.

civic pride here that it needs only to
be stimulated and backed up to get
wonderful results The bylaws
which have been prepared for "the
block improvement societies of the
city of Birmingham are simple but
sufficient. The purpose is declared to
be to stimulate interest in civic I'M

courage and assist the authorities in
securing cleaner streets, alleys, and
public places, more parks, children's

mist of Yale University, who in one
of his papers before the recent Inter
national tuberculosis Congress in
Washington declared that consump-
tion costs the people of the United
States more than a billion dollars a
year is preparing an exhaustive report
for the National Conservation Com
mission, which will contain not only
these figures but similar data on the
economic loss to the country from all
other preventable diseases
Prof. Fisher is member OF the Ma
tional Conservation Commission and
for many years has been CARRYING on
studies along these lines. The COM
mission received letters from physi-
clans all over the country urging it to
consider the bearing of public health
on the economic efficiency of the ma
ton in its efforts to ascertain the re-
sources OF the country.
The commission from the beginning
has contemplated reports on the
economic aspects of several phases OF
the conservation movement which az
feet the duration and effectiveness OF
human life, but Prof Fisher has un-
uertaken TO prepare a comprehensive
statement OF the whole subject of the
relations Of public health to the gen
