from what at that time was considered
his conservative base. BY 1900 he had
become a stanch Bryan man on a re-
affirmation of the platform of 1895. and
two years ago he again supported Mr..
Bryan's candidacy heartily.
In Georgia politics Mr.. Smith has been
considered a radical. Whether the race
question. the railroad question or the
corporation question was under consid-
Grafton. he has taken an extreme posi-
ton. The platform upon which he was
elected governor several years ago was
Bryaniush to a degree. and In office he
lived up to It's terms. And his latest
platform shows he is still headed in that
direction.
1t Is believed. and Is likely. that Mr..
Smith has his eye on the Senate. The
presidency Is beyond him, but the SEN
ate would afford him fine field for the
exercise Of his talents. He is an able
and aggressive man, and at an age when
the lure Of national political life is es-
pecially tempting.

Nicaraguan Policy INDICATED.
From the New York Tribune.

TIE view IOTk
The decisive incidents OF the last few
days in Nicaragua should and probably
will give that country relief from the de-
structive strife which has long been raw
aging and impoverishing II. They GER
tainly afford a gratifying but by no means
unexpected vindication of both the prac-
teal shrewdness and the justice Of the
policy toward that unhappy conflict which
has been pursued. amid no little carping
criticism, by our State Department. II
was said that our government was partial
toward the revolutionists and that In be-
ing so 1t was betting on the wrong
horse" since DR.. Madriz had the great
mass Of the people on his side and was
sure TO win. In fact. our government was
neutral and impartial. but had II pursued
the course which was falsely imputed to
II 1t would have been backing not the
loser, but the winner. Assuredly. II was
well that it did not associate itself with
the cause of the man whom events now
prove TO have had little real strength and
not TO have been the choice OF the Mica
raguan people. The pretense that the rev.
olutionists were strong only on the coast
under the guns of our ships was mani
testify false, since they have won their
decisive victories far inland. They could
not have taken Managua had the mass
Of the people been opposed to them.

Publicity and Disease.

While II Is possibly true that the public
may be unduly alarmed by the publicity
given to reports Of epidemic disease II Is
undeniable that Unreasonable good re-
suits from the widespread discussion OF
disease conditions and the education OF
the people through the newspapers In the
principles of sanitary living. The ply
sicians Of Washington at their meeting
held last night virtually condemned the
publication Of news regarding the preva@
lence Of infantile paralysis in this Dis
trict. a disease Of which but little is known
and regarding which the physicians them
selves are In wide disagreement. 1t may
be true. as was stated in the resolutions
adopted by the meeting, that infantile
paralysis claims fewer victims annually
than other diseases Of childhood. and
still the indictment does not lie against
publicity In this case.
Here is virtually a new condition, a
condition which battles the scientists
themselves and which Is undeniably
serious. Il would be perhaps In accord
with the old-fashioned doctrine Of medi-
cal science to keep the public in igno-
rance, just as 1t was the practice of medi-
cal men OF a past generation-and some
even OF today-to withhold all specific
knowledge of the nature OF an illness
from the patient and members of his
family Happily that theory Is discred-
knowledge Is wholesome and that the
cumulative force of Intelligent public fear
is. helpful in the solution Of such prob
lens.
The newspapers OF Washington that
have been printing daily reports of the
spread Of infantile paralysis in the Dis
trfct have been animated solely by the
desire to assist in the ascertainment OF
the cause and the means OF cure OF this
disease. 1t is not to be believed that the
alarm created by the constant disclosure
of new cases has done the slightest harm
On the contrary, probably hundreds OF
homes in this city are today cleaner and
more sanitary than before in consequence
Of this public discussion, and whether
infantile paralysis is in any degree caused
by insanitary living, nevertheless the pub
lie health has gained as result OF the
direction Of the peoples thoughts into
channels Of better living and cleaner
surroundings.
OF course publicity Of this character in
such a case does not necessarily In itself
forward the strictly scientific researches
from which II is to be hoped some spe-
cific ascertainment Of cause or discovery
of cure will result But 1t is far better
to proceed with as perfect an under
standing as possible on the part OF the
p,rj,lic Of what is being sought than to
surround the matter with profound
mystery and deal with the community as

Not Enough Forest Guards.
From the New York Sun.

It is an almost hopeless undertaking
to check such forest fires as are now
devastating extensive districts In Idaho
and Montana Although the government
patrols are Engaged in the work and are
strongly reinforced by every available
soldier Of the regular army and by state
wardens and bodies OF men in the en-
ploy of the lumber and railroad COM
panies. many lives have been lost and
property of an enormous value. tnclud-
ing whole towns, has been DESTROYED. Inc
cost OF standing timber is so high that
the total loss in forest tracts alone must
be in the millions. Having surveyed the
ruin and counted the cost, the American
people will be justified in asking whether
enough attention has been paid to conser-
walton by providing a sumcient force OF
guards. patrols, laborers and fire fighters
