good an investment from the communi-

non charitable in character, it should
be compared with such undertakings

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE

The Minnesota association for the
Prevention and Relief of tuberculosis
is making an earnest appeal to the peo-
pie of this state for funds with which
to wage 4 war against the 'white
plague" 1t is hoped to eventually eX-
terminate the dread disease which has
gained such Roadway in this country
alton has accomplished great deal to-
ward preventing the spread of the dis
ease, and it hopes to achieve greater
results if the people will give that
assistance which the association merits.
The appeal issued by the association
goes on to say:
'To conserve the physical power of a
community by preserving the health and
preventing the untimely death of the
individual citizen, is rightly considered
a matter of first Importance. As surely
as the brain cannot work properly UNI
less there be a healthy stomach, so
surely cannot the intellectual and spirit
ual Towering of civilization come about
without a sound physical basis. In
modern countries the greatest drain up
on the physical power of the communi.
| ty is probably tuberculosis in its many
forms. Indeed, tuberculosis might be cal
| led the Characteristic disease of civilized
communities, being due to lack of adj
justment between modern habits OF
living and modern conditions of living
Not only do the deaths from this cause
exceed those from any other, but the
majority of these deaths occur during
the most productive period of life; and
moreover, the average period of dis
ablement is of unusual length. Here in
Minnesota, despite natural advantages

cumbs to the 'great white plague"
ga worldwide movement, quite com.
pletely organized in Europe and begin
ming to be organized in this country
has arisen to measure the power OF
concerted action and knowledge against
a disease caused by social neglect and
ignorance. Among social movements
this movement is in remarkable degree
definite, preventive, and constructive. In
deed, it is the best example on large
scale of social preventive work. For
the intelligent expenditure of given
amount of money and energy the re-
suits are more sure, and brought about
, in less time, than is the case with
most other philanthropic and civic eff

so as to have its provisions apply
to legislators unaccompanied by their
wives or guardians. The state might
provide a dormtory for the legislators
and surround it by high fence to keep
out temptations. The members could
be escorted from the capitol to their
quarters, in much the same fashion as
boarding school girls are taken for a
constitutional, without mourning the
dangers at present besetting those I'M
accustomed to graphing with Satan. If
by any mischance some\ weakling daz
zled by the ways of light, should wan
der down town during the evening or
show symptoms of being frivolous, the
speaker or the governor should appoint
an attendant to watch the recalcitrant
or should have authority to send for
the legislators wife and shift to her
the responsibility for his good charac-
ter.

they have met with very good success.
The hospital goes to the city that
makes the largest financial inducement.
The matter will be finally decided at

Doctors George A. Binder, w. L. Pear

1t is the purpose of the conference to
make this hospital state institution

care of patients from Wisconsin and
the two Dakotas. There will also be
deaconess' institution connected with
the hospital where deaconesses will be
trained and educated and be in read

EXAMPLE OF PARTY LOYALTY

St. Paul Pioneer Press: The with
drawal of F. w. Hunt two or three
days ago and j. w. b. Parsons yes
terday from the contest for places in
the delegation to the national conven-
ton cannot be allowed to pass without
a word of commentator. Both gentle
men had claims on the honor, both
could have made vigorous fight, and
both were out and out Taft men. But
rather than run the risk of creating
possible feeling they both put their
personal desires in the background and
| in the interests of harmony with
drew. The spirit of unselfishness and
of loyalty to the party they thus dis
played was admirable and is doubtless
more of a satisfaction to them than
if they had made fight and had
won at the expense of good feeling.
Doubtless, too their course will strength
en- them i'm the estimation of the
people in their own districts and
throughout the state; for there is
nothing the public admires more than
display of the spirit of the sports
man, the spirit that makes cheer
full and magnanimous loser, and that
induces a man to subordinate his per-
sonal desire for glory to the success
then them in the estimation of the
of the team in which he plays.
The example that Mr.. Hunt and Mr..
Parsons have set might we'll be taken
to heart by republicans generally. If
the spirit they displayed were to be
in evidence at the coming convention
for the nomination of state ticket
there would be no more room for
doubt about the outcome of the fall
election than there is that the sun will
rise tomorrow. The only possible chance
of the election of any democratic can
didate lies in possible-but improbable
republican dissension. Any aspirant
who indicates that he puts his own
personal ambitions above the success
of the party any aspirant who shows
that he is not likely to accept the
will of the convention if it goes
against him and that he will not do
his best to promote the election of
his successful rival ought to receive
no consideration whatever. For such
man might better be a democrat,
since the course he proposes to pur-
sue 1lUSU UtIlu loWdIu utHOtidtiC SuS-
cess and under some circumstances
would insure democratic success.
What the republican party in this
state has needed is more men of the
loyalty and breadth, of Mr.. Hunt and
Mr.. Parsons. There is, however, so
determined a purpose to maintain har-
mony and so keen and general de-
sire to eliminate not only all breeders
of discord but all those who are un-
willing to accept in good spirit the con-
illusions of the convention that no man
who hopes for future honors and ia
vors at the hands of republicans is
likely to venture to stir up trou-
ble But what is desirable is not only
an absence of trouble makers but a
breed of republicans, like Mr.. Hunt
and Mr.. Parsons, who are ready to
make personal sacrifices for party har-
mony and party success.

Mayor Ezra S. Meals of Harrisburg Pa.
has ordered the police department to
see that drunken men are helped to
their homes instead of being arrested,
and to compel the saloon proprietors to
take care of the men found drunk in or
near their saloons. Mayor Meals holds
that it is not right to send these men
to the lookup so long as they are not
troubling any one. OF course, the cri-
minal DRINKS will be dealt with sum-
marily and the habitual drunkards will
be sent to jail to sober up, after which
the mayor will take them in hand per;
sonally and give them chance to get
hold of themselves. He goes on the
theory that drunkenness is a disease.
Whenever man is taken home the
fact will be recorded for future refer
ence.

In view of recent incidents which
have served to create not little COM
ment, unfavorable and otherwise, this
pertinent suggestion from The Mime
apolis Tribune will strike the rank and
file of the republican party as edging
up close to the right spot: eff those who
control the republican organization in
Minnesota nc wise, they will give the
majority of the party free hand
and a fair field to nominate candidate
for governor this year." If the major
ity of the republicans will but assert
themselves they could nominate a can
didate for governor who would certainly
be elected.
