longest steps forward ever taken in the
world of medicine, snt in the art of
prevention of disease.
Smallpox has been TO a large extent
robbed of its old terrors by vaecina-
ton. 1t still takes its victims, it is
true, but it commonly occurs now in
forms much milder than it once did.
Yellow fever has been well-nigh driven
from the countries it once infested
through the perfection of sanitary pre-
cautions. Progress is being made in
stamping out malaria. TyphoIu has
yielded few of its terrors TO modern
therapeutics, and is still one of the
most dreaded of diseases. If it can be
reached through vaccination, along with
proper sanitary care, it will be an in
estimable boon to humanity, Will mean

why the Democratic bosses who are so
disguised with Bryan persistentIy fail
to fill in the gap between denuneiation
of Bryan and the citing of the next
Democratic. candidate. As a matter of
fact, there is no one in the Democratic
party today who gives promise of being
able o. make s,ich a run for President
as Mr.. Bryan has made in the past
and could probably make in the future.
The defeat OF Democracy on the three
occasions when Mr.. Bryan was the
Presidential candidate was not the
fault of Mr.. fryan. ANY other can
didate WOULD have polled fewer votes.
As long as Democracy presents such
a hopeless array of Presidential posi-
Utilities as it presents today, it is alb
surd to talk of Mr. Bryan as being
dead. In spite of his three defeats, in
spite Of the bitterness of many of
the Democratic leaders toward him,
Mr.. Bryan stands unrivaled as a Demo
cratic voteEetter. How will it profit
Democracy to cast him aside and select
rs its standard bearer a man who can
not even do as well as Mr.. Brayn has
done?

IS WILLIAM J. BRYAN POLIT-
ICALLY DEAD?

A short time ago William Jennings
Bryan almost gave a dozen Democratic
party leaders nervous prostration by
writing letter to the committee in
charge of the jefferson Day banquet
here, and touching casually on the
quantitive theory of money Out in
Nebraska the name of Bryan today
will-start a beautiful row wherever
two or three Democrats are gathered
together, because of the CommoneJ $
declaration for county option Down
in old Missouri the conservative wing
of Democracy is hopping mad because
Mr.. Bryan threatens TO stump the
State for the prohibition amendment.
In Ohio this week Mr.. Bryan's desire
for a convention Endorsement on the
United States Senatorship precipitated
struggle.
In fact, Democratic leaders almost
everywhere tremble and grow cold
when the shadow of Mr.. Bryan fails
across their paths. They denounce him
stentoriously. The columns of the
American press contain belittling. sar-
castle comments on Mr. Bryan and his
candidates. almost daily. Judging from
the noise, one would naturally presume
that Mr.. Bryan is hss-been, back
number, dead one" politically.
One thing however, the denunciators
of Bryan seem to have overlooked. In
their rush to declare the three-time
candidate an impossibility as four
time candidate, they neglect to men
ton who viii take Mr.. r1yan's place
at the head of the Democratic national
ticket. If Mr.. Bryan is impossible.
who is possible: What other man in
the DEMOCRATIC party can poll as
many votes as Bryan?

PECULIAR PROVISION IN NEW
HOUSE RULE.

1t remains to be seen whether the
new House rule for taking bills away
from committees works out as the
reform for which there has so
long been demand. It seems
that all factions, including stand
patters, insurgents. and Democrats.
joined in establishing the rule, and it
VIII be interesting to observe, in the
next session, how it operates.
1t IS peculiar provision to require
a majority OF the whole membership
OF the House to take a bill from COM
m'ttee, when it would require but a
majority Of quorum to pass the bill
thus brou ght back before the members.
The more logical arrangement would
be one that would require majority
OF quorum to take the bill from
committee and a majority Of the total
membership TO pass it.
In conceding the rule, it Is doubtful
II the House organization has forfeited
much OF its power. Certainly the
Democrats have gained little. in
spite Of their participation in the rules
formation Under it the Democrats
could not take a bill from committee.
even If every Republican member of
the House were absent when the vote
9n any particular bill were recorded.
To withdraw a bill a majority of the
members Of the whole House must act
together, and the Democrats. it will be
remembered, are in the minority.
A step toward genuine reform would
be a rule permitting a bill to be taken
from committee by vote of one-third
o. two-ffths of the whole House. This
would undoubtedly put a stop to much
OF the pigeon holing practice now in
dulged in. 1t is doubtful if the rule as
It stands will have any direct beneficial
effects, although 1t may prove a good

WHY NOT A COMMISSION ON
FINE BABIES?

1t makes the heart of the true
Washingtonian thrill with pride TO
read of the contemplated parks, high
ways, monuments, memorials. and
other instruments of beauty which
are planned for enc National Capital
Verify, it looks as ii the day were
approaching when Washington would,
indeed, be ths model" city, the best
governed" city, and the most beauti-
full city in the world.
A fine arts commission has been
authorized by Congress and appointed
by President Taft. Under its wise
guidance the famous park commission
plans, created nine years ago, are TO
be worked out in detail. 4 great chain
of parks is to girdle the city Park
ways are 10 connect them. The Mall
Is to be restored. a magnificent
memorial bridge is TO be thrown across
the broad Potomac. Statues of pa
triots are to be erected.
Fine-but what about the babies Of
Washington? While all this stu
pendous Identification is being accom-
Phshed what are we going to do with
those filthy alleys, hidden behind the
marble palaces, and just around the
corner from the noble statues
What are we going 10 do about that
one health district where. IN one sum-
mer, twenty-four babies were born
and twenty-five died
While we are spending millions for
beautiful municipal clothes, what are
we going to do for the hungry mouths
and burning brows Of hundreds OF
white and colored infants in our sIums.
which, We are told by no less an au-
thority than Jacob Riis, are worse
than the filth holes of London and
New York?
Here in the District Of Columbia, 1873
white children among every 1000 I'M
der one year of age die annually.
Out of every 1000 negro babies born
in the District OF Columbia, 423-al-
most half-die before they are one
year old.
Children die of in such swarms be
cause beneath tho surface Of our elab-
crate external beauty we have con
cealed some OF the dirtiest areas Of
popula tion that exist anywhere in the
world.
Are we going TO keep right on spend
iEg money for things that please the
eve, while we ignore the horrible, hidden
slums that sTe sapPing the life out Of
thousands ard threatening the health
Of the community?
If we are going TO have commits
sion on fine arts, why wouldn't it be
a good idea to have a commission on
fine babies, too?
