cuIosis in its various forms, but chiefly

culosis in it's various forms. but chiefly
in the most common and deadly form OF
pulmonary consumption. For ages the
white plague has been one Of the most
prevalent and one of the most dreaded
of diseases. Romance. poetry and art
have celebrated-if the word may be used
in such a sense-its' terrors. 1t has been
regarded as sometimes mysterious ana
sometimes foreordained In Its origin, and
as quite hopeless of cure or even of ma
terial alienation. All that was left for
the stricken sufferer was to seek warm
climate and seclusion from the open air,
and there to waste away and die.
Men know better now, and in that
knowledge there Is much hope of victory
over the destroyer. They know its origin
as surely as that of any malady. They
understand its nature They have learned
that the old theory of inheritance is by
no means universally or generally true.
but that in a highly important respect
1t is radically untrue. They knaw that
the disease is not incurable. but that in
its early stages it is often entirely durable
and in many more cases is susceptible
of being checked and greatly alleviated
They know that the dangers Of infection
are really greater than those of inheri-
lance. that cold climates are often prefer
able to warm ones for the patients. and
that the open air. instead OF being in
furious. is highly beneficial. The mask OF
mystery has been stripped from the dis
ease. and while the monster behind II is
found to be indeed a terrible thing, its
real nature is perceived and the means
of combating 1t successfully are disclosed.

Knox. Whether it was because Of mod
esty or due to respect for the expressed
wishes of the host. none of the trio as
much as limited at politics.
Praise of Senator Knox.
All of the speakers expressed praise of
Senator Knox. He was lauded as a man.
a lawyer and a public official. Among
the others who spoke were. Rudolph
Blanbenburg, city commissioner of Phila-
delphia: Representative W. Bourke Cock
ran of New York. James S. Henry. presi-
dent of the Gridiron Club; Representative
Gustav kuStermann Of Wisconsin, Hen
~ Hall. vice president Of the Gridiron
Club; James Pollock of the Five O'Clock
Club of Philadelphia, Represe ntative
Theodore Burton of Ohio. and Represen-
tative Francis w. Cushman OF Washing
ton.
Representative Moore presided as toast
master, and his introductions added much
to the pleasure of the occasion In intro
ducing Senator Knox he entered into a
brief discussion Of the greatness of the
state Of Pennsylvania He told of its
great mineral, agricultural and manufac-
turing wealth and industry, and of the
prominent place it has occupied in the
history of this country.
81 now take pleasure he said in con-
men who ever hailed from the greatest
state in the Unon-a man safe in council
strong in craftsmanship, big in everything
"a true American, a typical Pennsyl-
vanian."
History Of Keystone State.
Whether it was intentional or not. Sen
ator Knox when he spoke took his cue
from Mr.. Moore and used the history of
his state as the principal theme of his
remarks.
1T was not by accident he declared,
that both the Declaration Of Independ-
ence and the Constitution of the United
States were framed in the keystone state
Much had been done in that state to pave
the way for these important instruments
of liberty.
THE charter drawn up by William
Penn was the most perfect that has ever
been made. The right of trial by jury
was first practiced in this state. Frank
lin al the Albany conference. proposed
a new theory of federal government. The

added land he has not been found want
ing. One thing l like about his career IS
that he is sincere and has courage, ana
above verything else in his favor, have
never known a demagogic utterance to
pass from his lips. He has met the du-
ties that have fallen upon him with no
attempt to evade any responsibility, and
he we'll deserves the high place that ne
occupies in the public life of this Coun-
try"
Takes Issue With Pessimists.
Speaker Cannon took issue with the
pessimists concerning the future of the
country. He contended that there is to-
day more patriotism, more conservatism
and more ability than there ever was in
the history of this republic.
Speaker Cannon, referring to the great
influx of immigration to the United States
and the reluctance Of some of the imml-
grants to assimilate. declared that not
withstanding such reluctance, law and
order Will prevail. The man of any ma
ttonality, he said. who would represent
to a candidate for political Office that he
controlled "a million votes" lied Against
him would be the calm Judgment of the
people having proper voice in the gov
eminent.
The Speaker unbosomed himself regard
ing the agitation for the removal Of the
duty on WOOD pulp. He spoke OF MS
