LAYNEN RIVAL THE DOCTORS
Consumption Campaign Allies
Many Interests.

COnnrmlng the recent statement of DR..
William Osler, that the anti-tuberculosis
campaign is no longer battle for the
doctors only, the National Association
Tor the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
cul0slS issues statement to-day, in
which u is shown that over 40 per cent
of those enlisted in the White Plague
War are laymen.
The National Associations membership,
consisting OF nearly $500, and represent
ing every State In the Union. is composed
OF o4.b per cent doctors and 45.4 per cent
laymen. In the local and State assOcia-
lions, however, throughout the country,
tne percentage of laymen averages cOu-
sldefably over 90 per cent. The National
ASSOCIATION declares that this fact is
peculiarly significant, as indicating the
the great popularity of the antituber-
culOSlS movement.
twenty-five years ago, when the cam
panlg against tuberculosis was started
IN this country by DR.. Edward L. Trudeau,
even the doctors laughed at the move
ment. GRADUALLY the medical profession
realized the possibilities of an organ
lied hight against tuberculosis, and in
1904, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
was formed by the American Medical
Association. At that time the percentage
of laymen in the Association was only
1873, and very few persons were interest
ed In the campaign against this disease.
Today, according to recent figures pub
lished by the National Association,
churches, schools. labor unions, women's
clubs, fraternal organizations, and State
legislatures, interesting fully 100000
people, are all allied in the campaign
against tuberculosis, and in addition to
these, laymen of all classes Of society
and in every branch of social and in
dustrlal life, are uniting against this one
common foe.
Every day sees hundreds of new re-
cruits in the war, and every day brings
new methods for the fighting of the
plague. The National Association pre-
diets that If the present degree of inter
est is maintained, within five years
everybody in the United States will have
beer Informed on the way opreyent and
cure tuberculosis, and concerning the
| Infectious nature of the disease.
Two things in particular are needed
and for these the National Association is
working in every way. They are, more
complete registration of tuberculosis
cases, and the further isolation of danger.
Gus advanced cases of consumption.

MAKE PUNISHMENT SEVERE

In recent issue of the milwaukee
Free Press, appeared very good
cultural on the excessive use of
money in political campaigns and the
ideas expressed were in line with
reason and common sense, but the
writer hardly went far enough in
providing penalties for the candidate
who shall dlsburse large sums of
money to secure a nomination and an
election to office. The expenditure of
large sums of money to secure public
office is criminally wrong and should
be prohibited, for it means that only
the wealthy can hold office, for they
can and will secure it by purchase if
necessary, and will recoup for ex-
penditures by standing in with che
promoters of schemes to rob the
government and the people by unfair
and unjust legislation such as has
obtained in this country the past few
years. Ire debauching of the cleo
torate by the use of money is just as
much crime as bribery and should
be just as severely punished. Laws
should be enacted, making it Grim
inal offence with a heavy fine and
imprisonment for a candidate to spend
any money except for his personal
travelling ana hotel expenses. postage,
printing and advertising; if convicted
of a violation of the law TO be also de-
prived of his citizenship for term Of
years.

snug little amount each year for their

are weil-ixed financially. 1t would
be far better, should he recommend

BRIBERY IN RUSSIA.
An Incident of the Reign of the "cza,
liberator"

An Incident of the Reign of the GEAR
Liberator."
An old and long retired Russian gen,
| eral, man Of the ''old school," relat-
ed the following story in illustration
of the official bribery that prevails In
Russia, the incident being one within
his own personal knowledge.
During the reign of Alexander IL,
the "czar-iberator," the widow Of q
distinguished general endeavored to
obtain an appointment in a certain
ministry for her only son, a young
man of superior education and intell1-
gence. The minister promised the
widow to reserve the first occurring
vacancy In his department. She wait
ed in vain for the fulfillment of the
promise and twice repeated her appeal
by letter. She learned, too, that in the
meantime several vacancies had been
filled by other candidates.
The widow then waited upon the en-
peror and told mis- majesty Of the min
listers broken promises and her own
keen disappointment, and after few
moments consideration the car asked
her if she had inclosed a gift Of money
to the minister with her written ap-
plication.
"Why, certainly not, your majesty
should not dare put such an affront
upon his excellency."
'Do not trouble yourself about the
afront, madame" replied the car,
but renew your proshenie to the min
lister and inclose Fl, 900 to him."
"But l have no such sum of money,
your majesty" said the widow dole
fully.
ooh, as to that, I will lend you the
money, and the minister will no doubt
repay me, and you will inform me,
please, of the result Of your renewed
application with the inclosure"
The widow sent her son to the min
lister with the 1000 lent by the czar
Enclosed with a politely written note,
the result being that the young man
received the desired appointment the
same day.
About a week later the minister had
just concluded his customary official
report to the car when his majesty
observed, "By the way, there is very
intelligent and promising young man,
the son of the late General -, for
whom you can perhaps find a fairly
prospective position in your depart
ment"
''But, your majesty" said the min
lister, that young man is already in
my department, and 1 should say that
he is likely to make a career for him
self"
'Tell me, please" quietly asked the
car, chow much did this youths
mother pay you for the appointments
The minister was too willy and tact
full outwardly to manifest his surprise
and chagrin, and he knew, too, that
his safety demanded a perfectly can
did reply to his sovereign.
"Would your majesty be interested"
he said, ito hear what 1 myself paid
for the influence which procured my
portfolio from your gracious hands?
The total sum was ECO, 900, and, rela-
lively speaking, l do not think, with
all humility, that this lady has paid
at all dearly for the prospects of her
son.
The minister repaid to the car the
1900 and was not unkindly dismissed
from the audience, and he also re-
tanned his portfolio.-Odessa Cor. Lon

The SmuooIed Box.

A joker had some fun with the Gus

a German liner with basket and was

he had better see what the basket con-
tanned. Following the tip, the basket
bearer was detained, and wooden
