The Governments Expenses and
the Cost OF Living.

President Taft makes a heroic but moi
an altogether successful effort to demon
strate that high tariff duties are not fac
tor in increasing the cost of living. He
| admits that there has been an advance in
the price Of food and of many products
of the factories, but in his judgment neither
the Dingley act nor the Aldrich-Payne act
added to the cost of living. He recognizes
that high prices "mean very considerably
increased burden upon those classes in the
community whose yearly compensation
does not expand with the improvement in
business and general prosperity" He does
not undertake to solve the problem, but he
will not concede that the Aldrich-Payne
tariff is anything but beneficial in its OPP
erations. There is one phase of the sub
ject which Mr., Taft would do well to con-
sider-the effect upon the cost of living of
the tremendous growth in the expenditures
of the Government in the last ten years.
For the four years of Mr.. Cleveland's
second administration the cost of conduct
ht6 tiC vi lllC OlltCu otdtCS
was $1,441,S95,770. For four years of the
last Roosevelt administration the cost was
So, 500, 1884, 2S4-an increase of $1,000
600 900 in round numbers. Our esteemed
contemporary. the Philadelphia Record,
commenting on the enormous increase in
national expenditures since 1897, when
Mr.. Cleveland's second term ended, points
out that the increase in the cost of living
has kept pace with the growth of the Gov
ernments expenses.
This coincidence is suggestive. The Gov
eminent derives considerable part of its
revenue from the tariff. The beneficiaries
of the tariff have been most Jealous in
keeping the Republican party in power.
The tariff, as former head of the Sugar
Trust once declared, is the mother Of
trusts" The Republican party delivered
the people to the tender mercies of the
trusts, and the latter have made the most
of their opportunities to get all they could
out of the people. The Beef Trust, for in
stance has advanced the price of meat at
its own sweet will. The Sugar Trust has
enjoyed practically monopoly of the home
market, being licensed by the Republican
Congresses to collect handsome profit
from the people. The combination of wool
producers and manufacturers of wooden
goods has had the tariff schedules arranged
in their interests. at the expense of the
people. Food. clothing and other neces-
saries of life have been placed in the con.
troll of trusts. And the people have paid
the tribute.
To this extent, therefore, there is con.
nection between the extravagant expendi-
lures of Republican administrations and
the increased cost of living entailed upon
every consumer. And when the consumer
considers the situation carefully. it is ne
wonder he feels that, whatever of so-called
glory the nation may have achieved through
the administration of Mr.. Roosevelt, the
individual American has Jared rather
| badly.

Local Health Officers Report.


From October 1st, 1908, to October, LIST
1909. the number of births and deaths re.
ported are as follows
Births white 391, colored 1870; total
Sill.
Deaths-white 1871, colored 1913; total
2S9.
The births are 222 in excess of the
deaths. This is smaller gain than last
year. when 245 was the excess. The death
rate also decreased, there being reported
80 deaths less. The colored race only
made gain of IL in excess of its death
rate, while the white race made gain Of
210.
This indicates fearful mortality among
the colored people in this county Roughly
computed, they make up about one fourth
of the population, yet death visits them
nearly four times as frequently as it does
the white race.
Among the principal causes of death
have been, viz; Scarlet fever 2. typhoid
fever 6, whooping cough 8, cancer IL,
pleurisy 2, pneumonia II. kidney diseases
20. apoplexy and paralysis S34, accidental
and violence rs, tuberculosis So, diphthe-
ria 1.
| must again draw attention to the in
crease of tuberculosis in the county. Last
year it was computed that death in nearly
every 6 was due to tuberculosis this year
we find that death in nearly every is
due to tuberculosis. All of this is in the
| face of the fact that more intelligent efforts
have been made to overcome the ravages
of the great white pleague, but we have
not done our duty. our full duty, as is
shown conclusively by the mortality dur
ing the year.
That the disease is more prevalent among
the colored people than the white is de-
monstrated by the mortality during the
year. That the disease is more prevalent
among the colored people than the white
race, is proven by the fact that death in
every 2-3 deaths among them is due tC
tuberculosis, while it is responsible for
death in every 100 among the white
people.
If figures are of any account in computing
the ravages of disease. shall call your at
tention to the fact that tuberculosis was
| So times more deadly than the dreaded
diphtheria during the past year.
The health officer has been called dur.
ing the past year to visit Kensington, Sill
yer Spring, Forest Glen, Chevy Chase. Gler
Echo, Bethesda. Norbeck Gaithersburg
Washington Grove and various intermedi
ate points.
There were three schools closed during
the year on account of diphtheria. viz.
Bethesda, Gaithersburg and Brownines-
vile. and one closed on account of scare,
| fever at Forest Glen.

Sin of An Idle Life.

A striking appeal to rich young men moi
to allow their wealth to tempt them into
habits OF loafing and idleness is made by
the late Lieut-Col. Edward Tufnell in his
VIII, disposing OF an estate valued at S343, =
624 gross and net personality S103,l99.
Colonel Tufnell, who had residences in
Eaton Square, at the Grove, Wimbledon
Park and Crowhurst Park, Sussex. was
Unionist Member of Parliament for South
east Sussex from 1900 to 1906, and was
formerly member of the Kings body
guard.
The appeal against loafing is made in
the following remarkable clause in his
will:
II desire to bring home to the minds of
my sons, and of each and every young
man who may hereafter take benefit in
my property under this, my will, how
strongly hold to the view that every
man should, during some substantial por-
ton of his life, and certainly during his
early manhood, have some definite occu-
patton and lead useful life. and should
not suffer wealth or other temptation to
tempt him into idleness and a mere loaf
ing and useless existence.
II might have so framed this my will.
as to have made idleness operate to for
felt the interests hereby conferred on my
sons or other young men in my property
but foresee that such provision might,
in certain cases, work hardships, and |
prefer to hope and to trust. as do. that
no son of mine and no other young man
who may under this. my will, succeed to
the enjoyment of any property of mine,
will so disregard my views herein express
ed as to lead the life so strongly dep
recate.
Colonel Tufnell himself always led a
strenuous life. He saw active service in
the Nile expedition of 1884-85, when serv-
ing in the Eighteenth Royal Irish Reei-
ment-L London Express.
