THE AWFUL RAyAGEs OF TUBERCULOSIS

TIE AWFUL RAYAGES or TUBERCULOSIS
Over 2. 500. 0O0of the IL, 900, 900 school
children enrolled ia the United States
have. during the school year just closed
been systematically instructed concern
ing the dangers of consumption and the
methods for its cure and prevention,
SAYS statement issued by the Nationa,
Association for the Study and Proven
lion of tuberculosis. Besides the p
500, 600 children thus regularly instruct
ed in their schools, the National Asso-
ISOLATION estimates that fully 900, 900
more have received instruction at the
various tuberculosis exhibits held in all
parts Of the country or in separate
classes and organization. A number of
investigations conducted in various parts
of the world show that large per-
centage of the children in the public
schools have tuberculosis before they
are eighteen. On account of the pre-
vaIence of the disease among children,
the National Association considers
their education to be of prime import
ance. In Boston. a special commission
found that over 5, 900 school children in
that city alone had positive cases of
tuberculosis. In New York, a recent
study showed over %, 600 tuberculosis
children in the schools On the basis
of these and other Investigations, it is
estimated by certain authorities that
there arc nearly l, 900, 600 school child
rem in the United States today, who
viii probably die of tuberculosis before
they have reached the age OF eighteen.
This would mean that the public schools
Of the country are paying annually
about So, 500, 900 for the education of
children who will die before they reach
the age Of eighteen. At east one-half
Of this sickness, and possibly three
fourths Of it, could be prevented, if
the municipal and state governments
would adopt better and more hygienic
methods Of controlling and teaching
the chi dren, and if the public in gem
eral were alive to the need for tubercu-
losis prevention The National Asso-
citation declares that the best way to
wipe out consumption among children
is to educate both them and their par
ents so that they will know that tuber,
cuIosis is a communicable disease, that
it can be cured and that it must be
prevented. "

in the removal of two pieces of bone

TWO NEW STATES.

The bill admitting to statehood the
territories of New Mexico and Arizona
has been unanimously passed by the
lower house OF congress. The senate
will, doubtless, do likewise before the
end Of the session-and two bright
new stars will be added to the Ameri-
can flag.
: There are several states that are
less deserving than these two terri
tories of statehood. Each has a popu-
lation in excess of the number requir-
ed to elect a representative fact
that does not apply to at least two
states. These territories will soon
have a large population. In the near
future the small states will all be
among the North Atlantic group. Del
aware, Rhode Island, New Hampshire
ana vermont VIII never have popula-
ton enough to rank them with the av-
erage state because their areas are
too small. True, Massachusetts and
New Jersey have smaller areas than
New Hampshire or Vermont, but they
contain large cities that give them a
large and rapiadly increasing popula-
ton.
Either New Mexico or Arizona has
an area as large as all New England
with New York added. There are those
now living who will see each of them
with nearly as many people as all New
England has now. They are entitled
to statehood now and they will remain
worthy of it,

THE COOPER JURY.

Discussing the personnel of the jury
now engaged in passing upon the gull
or innocence of Colonel Duncan B
Cooper, Robin Copper and John Sharp
charged with the murder of former
United States Senator Edward w. Car
mack. at Nashville, the New York
World says:
The twelve Tennesseans selected
after long and arduous scrutiny OF
jury lists to hear the evidence in the
Carmack trial will be called on to de.
termine the guilt or innocence of the
accused in one of the most sensational
murder cases Of recent history.
Intricate questions regarding the de-
gree of responsibility for political crit.
eism will be submitted to them. They
will be required to discriminate be-
tween points of law bearing on one
of the most complex problems Of mod.
ern jurisprudence and their decision
will constitute an important precedent
for future actions involving the infiic
ton of personal vengeance for polit-
ical censure.
OF the men to whom this delicate
task is intrusted four are said to be
unable to read or write, two have only
a slight acquaintance with English
and some have sworn that they have
not read a newspaper in years. All
have taken oath that they have read
no newspaper since the day of the
crime, the law which makes a Juror
incompetent who talks with witness
providing also that the reading of a
newspaper printing verbatim reports
of trial constitutes incompetency.
The effect of the statute is thus to
glorify illiteracy by restricting to the
least intelligent grade of citizens
most vital function of the courts. 1t
is a singular anomaly of the law in a
State which in the trial of the night
riders gave an inspiring example of
justice swiftly and fearlessly admin
istered. Tennessee puts a ban on intel
ligence by making its possession a bar
to one of the most responsible duties
of citizenship.

The witness said one bullet buried
itself In the pole, while the other mere
ly notched it, and that both were
made by the same caliber bullet.
He could not explain how he reach
ed this conclusion, when one was a
perforated hole and the other simply
ridge.
The energy displayed by the defense
in cross-examining the witness led
spectators to believe that they con-
sidered his testimony dangerous.
AS soon as Cole was excused At

that the State would rest its case. The
defense asked for time to arrange its
case. Judge Anderson said:

WILLIAMS WANTS
POOLS PICTURE;
IS HARD TO find

Chief Of Police j. Frank Williams
is looking for a photograph of Charles
Pool, former city marshal who recent
ly left Hattiesburg for parts unknown.
Chief Williams wants this photo
graph to use on circular with a des-
cription of the defaulting officer, which
will be sent to all of the larger cities
throughout the country in the hope of
effecting his arrest.
Thus far little effort has been made
to locate Pool. The impression has
prevailed that he would arrange a
settlement of his shortage through a
third party, thus making it possible
for him to return to Hattiesburg, but
nothing has thus far been accomp-
lished in this direction and Chief
Williams has decided to begin his
"Man-hunt."
Both of the local newspapers had
pictures of Pool at one time, but these
have disappeared. Local photograph
ers have been unable to find mega
tives, although it is known that he had
several pictures made here.
Chief Williams has a group photo
graph of the entire Hattlesburg police
force, made more than a year ago,
which contains very god likeness of
Pool, and this can probably be used

DAMAGING TESTIMONY.

Coopers and Sharp for the murder of
Senator Carmack
Questioned closely upon her state
ment that Carmack's pistol hung
while he was drawing it, and was
held by the barrel when she saw 1t,
Mrs Eastman said in her evidence :
Il tell you General Washington, l
don't know how long it would take
to reverse the revolver, but as far as
know, Mr.. Carmack never reversed
that revolver, but fell dead with it
held by the barrel in his hand" The
Copoers may be acquitted, or finally
go free through a hung jury. For
