BROWN MAKESPL LEDGE
Socialist Preacher Makes Pledge
for the Final Adjustment
of tuberculosis
BIG LOSS FROM THE DISEASE

Harvey Dee Brown, the Socialist
preacher, formerly pastor of the First
Baptist church, addressed his audience
at Ethical Hall, Milwaukee, last night
on the "white plague question: say
ing in part:
tuberculosis is the most deadly dis
ease which now scourges the race. It
claims 100000 victims every year in
the United States and $500 in the
state of Wisconsin.
""The economic loss to society from
this. scourge is almost incalculable.
In New York City it entails loss OF
$23, 100000 annually, and less than
per cent of that amount is spent there
to fight it. In the nation at large
the annual loss is over. 81 100000 900.
In Wisconsin the financial loss is
/ ST., 100000 annually.
"Taking into consideration the value
of the labor power at present standards
community suffers loss amounting
to $4,000 when a young man of IS
dies of tuberculosis, loss Of $4,000
for each one who dies at the age of
35, and of $4,000 for those who die
even at the age of so.
1.-The saddest part of this story is
that the ravages of the white plague
might be avoided. tuberculosis is a
preventable disease. An intelligent
understanding of it's nature and proper
conditions of labor and of life on the
part of the people in general are what
are needed. Certain trades by their
very nature and the condition of labor
in other trades, together with the gen
eral mproverishment of life forces due
to insufficient foods and bad home sur
roundings, are strong factors in pre-
pairing the soil for this disease.
"Since the international congress
last fall at Washington, many efforts
are being put forth for general educa-
tion and the improvement of these
conditions, and these, together with
the economic reconstruction which is
coming, promise the final adjustment
of this plague.o

MAY BUILD A CHURCH
Kenosha Christian Scientists to Discuss
Church Project Thursday Evening

Members of the Kenosha First
Church of Christ Scientist, will hold a
meeting tomorrow evening for the pur-
pose Of taking up the discussion of
plans for the building Of a church in
Kenosha. The membership in the
church has been growing steadily dur
ing the past few years and it has be-
come so large that the members feel
deeply the demand for a church of their
own. 1t is said that an option has
been taken on a piece of property adj
mirably situated for the proposed
church building and work has already
been started to raise the funds needed
for the erection of the church. The
Kenosha Christian Science Church is
one of the strongest organizations of
scientists in the state and it is thought
that the plan for building church
will be carried out at an early date.
The location Of the proposed site has
been withheld, but it is said to be
within a block Of library park.

sioner of streets in the city and last
night elected by the Council as street
commissioner for the north division,

J. away for election as city attorney a.
ne was on both the states and he re
ceived Is Of the II votes on the first
ballot and it was declared formal anc
Slater declared the unanimous choice
of the Council.
The next fight came over the cleo
ton of street commissioner and the
Council by vote of nine to seven
decided to return to the old plan OF
having two commissioners. It took
i've ballots to elect Charles Holliste1
street commissioner Of the south divi
sion and Charles Steinbach was elected
to the position on the north side on
the third formal ballot The salary
OF the commissioners was placed at
sixty dollars a month and the Council
adopted resolution giving it the
right to demand the resignation of the
commissioners or any other employe of
the city if he should fail to attend to
his duties.
Then came the surprise Of the even
ling. Alderman Marlatt made a motion
that under the rules the Council pro-
coed to the election Of its committees
for the coming year and the motion
was promptly seconded by Alderman
o 'Brien. With this Mayor Scholey
arose with his list of committees and
announced to the Council that he
would have to name only the chairmen
at the meeting last night and the re-
mainder of the committees later. Here
was where the disillusionment came in
as the alderman from the Second at
once called the attention Of the MAYOR
to the fact that he hau moved that
the "Counci elect the committeeso
and referred the mayor to the last
rule IL the code which had been unani-
mously adopted which gave the Coun-
Gil this power. Alderman Pirsch re-
sented this action and moved the
amendment that the mayor be permit
ted to name the committees. The mo-
tion was lost by a vote Of ten to six
and the original motion carried by the
same vote. Alderman O'Brien then
read list of committees for the year
and the clerk was instructed to cast
the ballot Of the Council for this list
of committees by the following cote

tig, Timme, Simons, Hegeman, Swift,

not as he individually believes. but as
his constituents desire. Unless the
committee reported a bill Mr.. Madden
announced he would bring the matter
up on the floor of the house and put
every man on record SO that his con-
stituents might know his attitude.
The way in which this can be done
is through an amendment to the pos
tai appropriation bill. Such an amend
ment would go out on a point of order
on the ground that it was new legsla-
ton. But Mr. Madden or any other
member could then move for a roll
call and in this way determine the
fate of the project when it is consider
ed in the house.
There is reason to believe that Mad
den's plain talk made an impression
upon Weeks. who, by the way, is him
self banker. Weeks asserts he new
err has discussed postal savings bank
legislation with the speaker. But
when the post office and post roads
committee was organized there is no
doubt Mr.. Cannon knew the business
and views of every man he assigned
to it.
The same policy of obstruction and
delay which is to be pursued in the
house will be observed in the senate.
The middle and far western senators
generally intend to support the legisla-
ton. Senator Aldrich is against it,
preferring that nothing be done until
after the monetary commission re-

There is much to be said for and
against the constitutional changes in
the Chamber OF Commerce: By re-
ducing the effective operative action
of the Chamber by conhning its rep"
resentative power to nine men, Cor
ten. if the secretary shall be chosen
from the outside, passes the power
Of the community, for expression and
action, to limitations that may, at
times, be dangerous and unpopular;
to provide for one annual meeting OF
the body (and that only to vote for
a new executive committee) may
mimify the public interest to a point
that will leave the nine bit to free
TO handle the communal concerns and
launch things, to such scope, on such
lines, in such ways. as even the main
body may not recall; to epitomize the
spirit, will, authority, and operation
of the Chamber to such proportions
NAV be deemed to SAVIOR too much OF
autocracy, in view OF the public and
private interests supposed to be con-
served, or expanded, as the case may
be, by the larger representative body.
On the other hand it may be said
that the inertia Of the greater body
will be overcome by the essential
alertness Of the lesser group; that
something will be done instead OF
practically nothing; that the purview
Of the smaller body will be quicker
clearer, more pronounced, and free

Ijudice; that they can be Of promptel

unreasonable and long-drawn argu
ments over matters that require des

that emergency call-meetings will b.
better, in that they will inspire de
mand for spontaneous action usually
lacking at the routine and frequen
