gregate 100000 Of people, scattered
as the population is from the Atlantic
ocean to the Golden Gate and from
the northern boundary to the south
ern boundary. producing as we do
one-third of all the products of the
civilized world, it is but natural when
the chosen representatives Of the
great body Of people come together
with varying interests, with virile cor
s~tituencies, that they should disagree
as tc the proper policies that should
govern the enactment Of legislation.
Out OF that disagreement comes COM
promises. Legislation is impossible
except by the vote of the majority,
and the majority can not agree with.
out compromise.
The majority Is responsible from
time to time for our legislation. We
have performed our duty to the best
OF u ability. At times the contests
nave been warm, but there is n
good thing about representing the
American population. When the con-
test is over and the legislation is CON-
piete, unless 1t is quite Objectionable,
the people of the country conform to
the provisions of the legislation and
we move on. And as representa-
tives, whatever the contests have
been, the feeling passes away when
the contest Is over.

Valuable KNOWLEDGE SPREADING.

Every day sees hundreds of new re-
cruits in the war against tuberculosis,
and every day brings new methods for
the fighting of the plague. The Ma
tional association predicts that if the
present degree of interest is main
tanned, within five years everybody in
the United States will have been in
formed on the way to prevent 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. a
more complete registration of tuber-
culosis cases, and the further isola-
ton of dangerous advanced cases Of
consumption.
