A TUBERCULOSIS SUGGESTION

In the great and creditabe world fight which Is at present being waged on tuberculosis, nothing can bring about better results than universal understanding among the masses of the people of the conditions which tend to encourage that dread maIady and of the effective means which have been discovered by science to cheat 1t of it's victims. That being the case, few undertakings can be conceived to better bring about this result than the present tuberculosis exhibition at the Museum of Natural History in New York.
 II might be supposed that such an exhibit would prove of interest only to the medical men and d few other curious ones but that has not been the case Ever since the first day when that exhibit opened Its doors New Workers have thronged to it to an extent far beyond any ones CA pectations or hopes, An attendance of five thousand a day had been predicted as something extraordinary. but fifty thousand day would como much nearer tho reality In one af- ternoon, between the house of 2 and o'clock, as many as forts three

 The paper has had an interesting history, which is told in an absorbing way by its editor, William Hayes Ward, who has been on the staff since 1S5S, in tho leading article Sixty Years of The Independent" Dr. Ward writes of the many journalistic conflicts and conquests that tle print. with which he has associated himself for half Q century has taken part.

thousand persons visited the exhibit rooms. The practical results which are sure to come, will be consider able.
 Not frequently is such cooperation to be observed in any exhibit of this Kind, Not less than two hundred as- socations and individuals have eX- hihits. notably among the latter be- ing Nathan Straus, whose system of providing pure milk for the poor has proved itself one of tho best philan- | thropies of New York city, Every sort of effectual means to instruct those who attend is used Three en- | tire floors are occupied and almost all l tho larger cities In the Union are CO., operating, besides fifteen foreign countries. There is model dairy with real cows and there are health | full and unhealthful sick-rooms with wax figures. All make the best sort of obiect-lesson and the sermon they teach ls aided by the lectures of ex- pert demonstrators,
 1t Is a surprising fact to those who do not realize it that every minute and a half a human life Is snuffcd | out i'm this country from tuberculosis 1 alone enough SD that If the bodies of those who die within ono year were placed three feet apart along the rail- road track, they would extend from New York to Hartford This fact Is strikngly Illustrated on a chart to every visitor as he enters and row of electric lights is switched off and on again as each death occurs to impress the fact.
 No one knows how long this exhibit will romain in New York. IL should 1 remain there as long as 1t Is ac- complaining the results it is accom- piishing now But sooner or later t is proposed 10 take the exhibit to other cities either in It's entirety or in sections, It would certainly prove worth the investment could 1t be dup Heated many times and shown every where from ocean to ocean. New Ha. ven should at once take tho necessary steps to get tho exhibit for a while as soon as possible. We offer the pertinent suggestion to those who have already aroused such a hearty interest In the fight on tuberculosis locally that they begin tho necessary negotiations There win be many other communities to want it. but those which show tho greatest inter est will probably get it first after New York has learned it's valuable lessons

MORE PAY FOR ARMY
Senate and House Reach Agreement
on That Item.

WASHINGTON, April IS. - The
army is practically assured Of an in
crease in pay. The conferees of the
senate and house have reached an
agreement on this item of the army
appropriation bill substantially along
the lines of the senate amendment,
which graded the authorized in
creases according to the various
branches OF the service.
No agreement has been arrived at
on the amendment to the appropria-
tions for barracks and quarters.
which was increased to the extent of
S1,472,5S by the senate. making the
total $4.500,O00. The senate struck
out also a provision that not more
than $1,O0O,OOO should be used for
new construction and not more than
100000 at any one post. The house
conferees take the position that in
the form in which this appropriation
has been left by the senate 1t would
be possible to divert practically the
entire amount to one section of the
country and build up there great
military post such as has not been
the purpose OF congress. So dissatis-
fed did the house conferees become
at the last session that they voted to
postpone consideration of the bin for
time.
Representative Hull, chairman OF
the house conferees, has gone to
Iowa, and there will be no further
consideration of the measure until
his return.

POLITICAL FORECAST
Two Republican and Democratic Con-
Ventions 60 be Held.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Next
week will probably be a quiet one in
political circles, as few important
conventions are scheduled. Only two
state conventions will be held by the
republicans, that of Nevada in Win
nemucca and of New Hampshire in
Concord. The former is set for Mon
day and the latter for Tuesday. Dele
gates favorable to the Taft candidacy
are assured In Nevada, according to
reports from the Sagebrush state.
The action to be taken by the New
Hampshire convention is not SO easily
forecasted. although It Is likely that
an uninstructed delegation will be
chosen.
BY far the most important state
convention OF the coming week will
be that OF the Illinois democrats, to
be held on Thursday In Springfield.
The Illinois state central committee.
with only one dissenting vote, has In
dorsed William ]. Bryan for the pres
idency in the most emphatic language
and this endorsement will doubtless
receive the sanction of the state con-
ventlon.
Massachusetts democrats will hold
their spring caueuses on Wednesday,
and the state convention will be held
In Boston on May Z. Bryan boom
ers have made determined efforts to
capture the Bay state and apparently
with every hope of success. The at
tempt to arouse Johnson sentiment
in Massachusetts has been fiat fail
ure.
Congressional district conventions
to be held during the week will have
little effect upon the standing of the
candidates. and will leave Taft and
Bryan with the leads they have main
tanned since the opening of the cam
paign.
Secretary Taft will begin the week
in New York, addressing the meet
ing Of the Laymen's Missionary
Movement on Monday night, Mr..
Bryan will also continue his New
York tour during the week and win
deliver several addresses. The most
important political banquet of the
week will be held here next Satur-
day night by the League of State Re-
publican clubs. All of the Repubh-
can candidates for the presidency
have been invited and President
Roosevelt will likely deliver a brief
address,
A state election win be held on
Tuesday In Louisiana, when state Of
ficers will be elected and several
amendments to the constitution will
be voted on. Jared Y. Sanders was
nominated as gubernatorlal candidate

WHO HAS BOOK OF MoRMoN9
Hard Things Said About Brigham
Young Faction.

KANSAS CITY, April IS. 49, Who
has the original book Of Mormon?
This question developed an interest
ing discussion at the general confer
ence of the Recognized Church of
Jesus Christ OF Latter Day Saints
this afternoon during which some
hard things were said about the Brig
ham Young faction of the Mormon
church.
Patriarch Alexander Smith, who
claims to have received the original
manuscript from his mother, stated
that the Utah church did not possess
the book, and the Utah church, he all
legged, had attempted to surreptitious-
ly take 1t by hiring men for that pur-
pose.
The discussion was the result of
the statement that the bishopric car
ries on its books as an asset an old
copy Of the book. and the value is
fixed at $500. The question was
whether 1t could be considered an as
set when the church would not sell it.
