Pellaera in the United States.

For many generations southern Europe.
notably Italy. has suffered from a disease
known as pellagra, a name given to IT in
description Of its most conspicuous effect,
that OF q roughening of the skin follow
ing the healing of a virulent eruption.
This disease has In Italy attacked chiefly
the poorer people. Long ago IL was as
certained that the victims were almost ex-
clusively those whose main diet was
polenta. a mush made OF ground corn. 1t
has been the traditional practice OF the
poor In Italy 10 cook a sufficient quantity
of polenta to last several days and to take
from the supply thus prepared from day
to day as needed. This led TO the con-
sumption OF unwholesome food. as the
polenta molds quickly. The greater part
of this food was made from corn of an
inferior quality. much of II being musty
when ground. Long ago the Italian gov
eminent undertook to stamp out the dis
ease which numbered its victims by the
hundreds of thousands. but with only par
tial success. Pellagra is now considered
incurable. 1t is marked by a variety OF
symptoms. leading usually 10 insanity.
Recently pellagra has appeared in the
United States. That is to say. certain
cases OF disease hitherto classified under
other names or defying identification have
lately been recognized as pellagra. These

Alabama and a surprisingly large number
in Illinois. As far as II has been discov-

try where corn forms the chief article Of
food But i'm contrast with the conditions
in Europe, pellagra in the United States
is not confined to the poor. but has been
found in its most virulent form among
the more prosperous classes.
Pellagra has been called the most pro-
found medical mystery of the age. The
exact cause is not known so definitely as
to be generally accepted. There are two
schools among those who have studied the
disease in Italy. those who hold that pella-
gra is the effect OF certain poisons upon
the human ystem. produced by the fer
mentation or moding of spoiled corn, and
those who believe that 1t is due to spe-
cific organism introduced into the system
through the mold spores of musty corn.
There is no difference in view regarding
the ultimate source means of trans
mission, but science has yet to ascertain
the precise nature of the disease prin-
ciple.
So seriously do the medical authorities
in this country regard the outbreak or dis
covery of the disease in the United States
that a national association for the study
and prevention of pellagra has just been
organized at Columbia. S. c.. after con-
ference attended by leading bacteriolo-
gists and physicians. The national gov
eminent was by resolution urged TO take
action to control the disease. Corn grow
ers were warned of the Importance of
fully maturing corn upon the stalk before
cutting COincidentally with the organ
ization of the association Surgeon General
Wyman of the public health service has
recommended the appointment of a COM
mission to study the disease and report
upon the official action necessary to arrest
its progress, his recommendation being
promptly approved.
An English scientist who has studied
this disease recently expressed his graft
fication that pellagra had been discovered
in the United States. for the reason that
he firmly believed the Americans would
proceed to find its cause and cure. This
remarkable tribute to the scientific per-
sistence and skill of western bacteriol-
ogists and physicians may now be shown
to be deserved.
The conditions which were disclosed IN
the course of the Columbia conference In
dictate a great national danger which this
government cannot too quickly move 10
meet with all its resources.

Judge Gaynor's Threat to Resign.

Shortly before the election In New
York the newspapers of that city printed
reports Of a speech delivered by Judge
Gaynor, the Tammany candidate for
mayor, in the course OF which he urged
his hearers to cast their votes not only
for him. but for the Tammany candidates
for the board of estimates, adding that
II he was elected and confronted with an
adverse board he would resign the office.
Immediately after Judge Gaynor's election
he was asked as to his intentions in this
respect, the voters of the big city having
failed to obey his injunction and indi-
eating their Indifference to the calamity
of his resignation to avoid the embarrass-
rnent of an adverse board Of estimate by
returning a large fusion majority for the
anti-Tammany candidates below the office
of mayor Thereupon the judge declared
that the threat to resign in such circum-
stances had been put into his mouth by
the newspapers that were opposed to him
in the campaign. He denounced this as
'falsehood of their own invention"
Now comes the New York Tribune with
the reminder that the intention to resign
in case an adverse board was elected was
published not only in the anti-Gaynor
press, OUT III InOSc newspapers "iiNA oeN' y
him their support throughout the cam
paign The Worlds version Of the now
famous threat to resign was as follows:
Just think of electing me. If you will.
and surrounding me with hostile board
of estimate Why, you would fret me to
death. 1 could not stay there. and
would not stay there"
The version of this declaration printed
by the Press, Judge Gaynor's other sup
porter, was:
do not think of electing me and then
surrounding me with hostile board OF
estimate. Why, you'd fret me to death.
1 couldn't stay there and l wouldn't stay
there"
There is a sufficient similarity between
these two renderings of the candidate 8
words to suggest that il there was a con-
spiracy Of falsehood 1t included all the
newspapers Of the city. without regard to
their Affiliations and preferences, and that
Judge Gaynor was indeed in the lament
able position of having not single true
friend among the metropolitan journals.

The Maryland Verdict.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
One of the most gratifying of the re-
suits of last Tuesdays election is the de-
feat in Maryland of the constitutional
amendment intended to disfranchlse col
ored voters. 1t is the second time that
Maryland has refused to do this unright-
eous act, which some of Its politicians
have been bent on securing. 1t was de-
feated at an election which showed a
democratic majority for the state ticket,
SO it must have been beaten by demo-
cratic votes. The white voters, who out
number the colored voters four to oRe
could not be convinced that it was right
and decent in them to disfranchise the
latter, and they refused to adopt the
amendments with an emphasis which
ought To put that conspiracy to rest for
ever. The state of Maryland, by the last
census. had a population of 1.lsS.O+, OF
which 25J.O64 or about One-fifth, were
colored. There is no evidence that this
proportion of white to colored has been
disturbed. The fear Of colored domino
ton, which is pleaded in defense Of such
disfranchisement farther south, would moi
serve in Maryland. There was no such
danger there. The only objection to the
colored voter In Maryland Is that he is
apt to vote the republican ticket.

The British Budget.

Premier Asquith yesterday defined the
issue on the new budget in England. just
before the house of commons divided on
the finance bill, as between the taxes pro-
posed BY the government and tariff re-
form. The ministry has preferred to pro-
pose series of new taxes rather than
undertake the adoption Of a new customs
system. On this issue the government
again submitted its proposition to the
house with the result of a vote of $40
to $40. the Irish nationalists abstaining
from voting on the ground that they were
opposed to liquor taxes as unjust to Ire
land.
The budget now goes before the house
of lords, which on the I'D of this month
will begin the debate which will determine
the fate Of this measure. the most I'M
portant in the recent history of England.
The socialistic features of the new finance
plan have aroused pronounced antagonism
from the conservative forces in Great
Britain, which dominate the upper house
of parliament. The peers are confronted
with an embarrassing situation. AS far
as known there is popular demand for
many of the innovations embraced in the
budget. The government is confident
that in the event of general election
it's proposals will be Endorsed, although in
one or two recent bye-elections with the
budget issues directly before the voters
the conservatives have scored gains. 1t
has been often predicted that the rejec-
ton of the budget by the house Of lords
would intensity the popular antagonism
toward that body. which has been grow
ing markedly of late.
On the eve of the vote in commons on
the finance bill Premier Asquith took
occasion to announce his support of Mr..
IRE, the Scotch member of the govern
ment. who recently declared that 1t was
the purpose of the unionist party. IL 1t
was returned to power, to abandon the
old-age pension system, declaration
which drew from Mr.. Balfour the re-
ioinder that Mr.. IRE had uttered a
.frigid calculated lie This Endorsement
by the liberal leader Of a campaign ut
terance is regarded as an effort to draw
a rigid line on the old-age pension ques-
ton and possibly to drive the unionlsts
into an attitude of opposition to that plan
of Door relief. The tendency of the lib
eral party toward national socialism is
marked and the forthcoming debate In
the house of lords will undoubtedly prove
to be one Of the most momentous dis
cussions in the history of the English
people.

Thu North Dakota.

While the American navy is not equal
TO the British in point of numbers ts
quality is second to none in the world.
Yesterday the latest complete addition 10
the battleship list under the American
flag. the North Dakota. developed on a
measured course a maximum speed OF
22.25 knots and an average speed OF 21.SS5
This performance places the North Da-
kota at the head of the navies of the
world In speed, being better than the best
performances Of either her sister ship
the Delaware or the Bellerophon. the
champion "dreadnaught" of the British
navy.
A comparatively few years ago the bat
tleship was regarded as not necessarily
a fast craft The main purpose Of its
builders was to concentrate the maximum
of missile-throwing power and stimuli
taneously of short resistance. Now the
battleship is a greyhound as well as
fort. The North Dakota in service could
infiict as heavy damage as any other YES
sci afioat and could outstrip any antag-
onist either in pursuit or retreat. This
matter of speed is now recognized as Of
great importance. In the encounter OF
battleships in the Straits Of Tsushima the

The North Dakota will probably not
stand long as the fastest battleship. The
British government is now building sew
eral ships of this type and will probably
make every effort to give them greater
speed The German "dreadnaughts." II
is known. are to be fleet. But the process
of passing the present champion OF the
seas will not be easy. Her engines, OF
the turbine type. are the best than can
be produced In this country with present
processes. 1t may be that the actual OPP
erations at sea Of the Delaware and
North Dakota will lead to improvements,
and IL is assured that in the construction
Of the new ships now on the ways ad-
vantage will be taken of every possible
chance of beneficial changes.

The Noise Of the City.
From the Boston Transcript.

The movement for the prevention of un-
necessary noises in cities has apparently
gained such force as no longer to be
liable to the Impeachment of being the
fad of particular individuals. IL is now
discussed I'm newspapers and magazines
with reference to the noises that must be
and the noises that may be, how the
former may be minimized and the latter
may be abolished. Discrimination is TAX
ing the place of hysterical attempts to
bring about an absolutely noiseless city,

against that cacophany which public
apathy and the public delusion that vio-
ience apd energy are the same had COM

The innocent pedestrian sometimes feels
that il is bad enough to be honked a,

insolence added to the horrifying sounds
emitted by some of the auto horns. It's
like rubbing il in with insult added to in
jury. Strange that sheer commercialism
II not complaisance, does not give manu-
facturers a bunch. Many a man had as

tympana smitten by raucous noises as
