Mr.. Taft's Vulnerability.

Mr.. Bryan's overwhelming defeat
is made the more significant by reason
of Mr.. Taft's vulnerability. The Re-
publican candidate had to bear the
burden of general hard times, of a
million men out of employment, of
business interests complaining and
dissatisfied, of a steadily increased
cost of living, of an unparalleled dis
affection of labor leaders, of an unpar-
alleled disaffection of the negro vote,
OF Republican factional fights in the
great pivotal States of New York, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois; of a reactionary
platform which he was obliged to
modify in his speech of acceptance, OF
an insidious use of religious preju-
dice and bigtory against Mr.. Tafts
liberal and advanced belief, of popu-
lar resentment against Mr.. Roosevelt's
determination to name his successor
and proxy.
The hard-times issue alone was q
burden under which a far stronge,
candidate than Mr.. Taft might have
succumbed. 1t is the first time in the
history of the country that a great
panic has. so far as the popular vot.
IS concerned, not defeated the party IL
lpower.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-11-06
After the Battle.

All the lies having been nailed to
the counter, there will be no demand
for nails in the political world for a
long time, and in the absence of de-
mand prices ought to decline sharply.
The fingers that have pointed with
pride for months until they have lost
the sense of feeling and have become
rigid may now be treated with Hni-
ment and massage and recover their :
flexibility. The political badges will
go into the rubbish heaps. The -gaudy
banners which have Haunted against
the sky will go to the paper mills, and,
singular as it may seem, incredible as
it would have semed week or two
ago, the Government of the United
States will go on very much as it has
been going on.
The sources of national prosperity
lie in the character of the people, in
natural resources and the opportuni-
ties of the time. Legislation and po-
made of these sources in some minor
degree, but they cannot add to them
or take from them, and therefore they
cannot cause or prevent prosperity
though they may stimulate or check
it or direct its course in some meas
ure.
The nation is vastly more than party.
Nature is infinitely more potent than
legislation, and the character of the
people is fundamental while the pro-
grams of party are incidental. The
recurring seasons will give us boun-
tiful harvests, the main source of COM
mercial prosperity. The crust of the
earth will yield her riches to the in
dustry of man, and even the selfishness
of man will inure to the benefit of the
community, for the man of enterprise
will gain wealth in supplying the pub
lie with something it needs or may be
persuaded that it needs. And all the
while progress, slow but certain, like
the flow of glacier, will characterize
the social movement. The customs of
1908 are very different from those of
1776, yet no man can put his finger
on date and say: "At this time the
social movement changed it's direc-
ton"

THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.
The Effort of Humanity to Wipe out
Consumption.

AS the presidential campaign draws
to a close, interest once more begins
to center in another campaign OF equal
or greater Importance, viz: The ef-
fort of humanity to wipe out consump-
ton. Since the close Of the interna-
tional Congress of Tuberculosis In
Washington last month, the issue OF
tuberculosis in the United States is
almost everywhere now recognized as
political problem. 1t is problem
in which city officials, county ofilclals'
state Lawmakers and executives, and
the Judges Of all classes of courts are
haeinning to recognize their RESPONSE
bility.
Maryland was behind no other state
in the United States in its showing at
the Congress. Ten cash prizes, med
ais. and diplomas were won by the
States public and private activities
TIE Maryland Association for the Ere
yention end relief cf tuberculosis was
given g silver medal Tor having the
largest membership in proportion to
population OF any voluntary assocl-
el;or IL the United States. With the
exception OF the Swedish Association
for the Prevention Of Tuberculosis, it
has the largest membership in this re-
|; ZION in the world An active cam
paign is now being made to increase
its membership During the four
years of it's existence, the Association
has drawn almost entirely upon Balti-
more city for it's members and financial
support 1t will now seek to extend
its activity into every county of the
State. and secure there as many mem
bers as possible. County branches
have already been formed in Anne
Arundel Dorchester, Washington and
Frederick counties, and arrangements
are being perfected to organize in
and Allegheny counties.
The large membership of the Asso-
citation makes it a 9ery potent force
in securing remedial legislation at
in Baltimore City, and
from the boards of County Commis-
sioners in the counties.
The educational work of the ssso-
citation is being pushed with vigor.
The travelling exhibit has just finished
a tour of the county fairs, where it has
been seen by thousands of Maryland
people, and it viii continue its timer
ary during the winter.
