Fighting PreventabIe Disease.

1t is much too early to attempt. even
were 1t possible. to appraise the value
of the conferences of the expert SAM
tarians, pathologists and physicians of
the world held in this city and at
Washington, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, upon the united war which
the civilized nations are waging upon
tuberculosis. The scientific signifi-
canoe of the communications which
have been made and of the facts de-
veloped In the discussions can only be
determined by time and experience.
but 1t is safe to say that these meet
ings have carried forward the cam
paign Of education further than any
single agency employed in the past.
Even the daily reports-fragmentar
and imperfect as they necessarily
have been-have carried to thousands
OF minds hitherto ignorant and indif.
ferent some glimmering appreciation
of the magnitude of the task to be per.
formed before the waste and the dis
grace of the white scourge" shall be
banished. and of the weight OF the OBJ
legation which rests upon modern So
ciety to carry the war to the end.

The answer goes on to say that
during this time and up to and after
the employment of the detective, the
resident arresting officers had been
unable, because of their own identity,
to make any arrests or present for
prosecution, any cases of violations
of the daw. This is declared to be
true notwithstanding the fact that the
violations were of general knowledge
though there was no specific infor-
nation or charges upon which ar
rests could be made or prosecutions
brought.
1t is also stated that the District
Attorney had frequently notified the
resident arresting officers of the vio-
lations of the law and that through
their inability to procure evidence
and make arrests, the county was
compedded to employ a detective to
secure the necessary evidence, which
was done.
The district attorney therefore
holds that the indebtedness incurred
in employing the detective was not a
voluntary Indebtedness but was in
voluntary and was an expense that
could not have been avoided without
and neglecting the per-
formance of the governmental duties
imposed upon the county in maintain
ing the form of government required
by the laws of the state
