A NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS
SUNDAY ON APRIL "A.

Announcement of a national tuber-
culosis Sunday to be held on April
"a, in 215,000 churches of the
United States was made today by
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of Tuberculo-
sis.
Following campaigns against con-
sumption that have been carried
on in the churches Of hundreds of
cities, and sermons on tuberculosis
that have been preached before
thousands of congregations during
the past year, a movement has been
started to establish a permanent
tuberculosis Sunday, on which it
is hoped that every one Of the
100000 churchgoers in the
United States will hear the gospel of
health. 1t is planned to enlist the
active cooperation of anti-tubercu-
losis organizations, labor unions,
fraternal organizations, and other
bodies together with the churches
in the movement. The aid of
leading churchmen in many of the
principal denominations has already
been offered All of the large
interdenominational bodies, such as
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tionthe Young Woman's Christian
Association, the Kings Daughters
and Sons, and the various young
peoples societies are also in sympa-
thy with the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign.
It's planned that on April "a, tuber-
culosis sermons shall be preached
in all churches of the country.
Literature will be distributed to
members of the congregations,
and in every way an effort will be
made to teach that tuberculosis
is a dangerous disease and that it
can be prevented and cured.
Clergymen who desire to obtain
information in regard
to tuberculosis will be able to secure
from State and local anti
tuberculosis associations and boards
of health, as well as from the National
Association.

Norwich University is indeed
fortunate to have a General Dodge,
who is interested in her history.
W. A. Ellis, under his direction,
has spent many months hunting
up the data of the ninety-one years
of that University's history and
has at last gotten it into proper
form to make a complete history
of the institution. The history,

Now it is Lent, it is well to think
on some Of the deeper phases Of
life Bishop Hall in his Lenten
letters has some sensible things to
say of the observance of Sunday.
His attitude is one which will help
preserve Sunday more than will the
mistaken ones who are trying to
force Puritan Sunday onto this
generation. The first considera-
ton of the day should be our
religious duties and obligations
the next, rest, which may be taken
in sleep, reading or innocent recrea-'
ton, just as the personal taste
indicates. This is the attitude of
his church through history and it
commends itself as being a natural
way if the Sabbath were made for
man instead of man for the Sabbath.
This is the attitude of the greater
proportion of the people of the
day, which is not one of disrespect
for religion, but it is one of protest
against going back to PuIitanical
rules and regulations.

President Taft outlined his posi-

it affects business, in his speech on
February II, so that the corpora
ton carrying on trade contrary
to law have just as good reason to
tremble as they did in the Roosevelt
tian days Legitimate business has
nothing to fear from the laws
enforcement. He said:
No one has a motive as strong
as the administration in power to
cultivate and strengthen business
confidence and business prosperity.
But it does rest with the national
government to enforce the law,
and if the enforcement of the law
is not consistent with the pres ut
method of carrying on business,
then it does not speak we'll for the
present methods of conducting bust
ness, and they must be changed to
conform to the law
There was no promise on the
part Of the republican party to
change the antitrust law except
to strengthen it, or to authorize
monopoly and a suppression of
competition and the control of
prices, and those who look forward
to such a change cannot now visit
the responsibility for their mistake
on innocent DerSOnS
OF course the government at |
Washington can be counted on to
enforce the law in the way best
calculated to prevent a destruction
of public confidence in business,

State Highway Commissioner c.
W. Gates feels that he still owes
something to the State in his present
position, instead of hustling for
another office within our gift. Mr..
Gates has done a good work as
Highway Commissioner, and we
cannot deny that there is enough
left to do to fill up his present term
and several more into the bargain.
He has been urged to enter the
field with Mead and Fleetwood for
governor, but he declines to become a
candidate because that means waging
a vigorous campaign to secure the
nomination, which he has not time
to do, on account of his work in the
more important field of road build
ing, which he has already begun.
While we would have been glad to
see him a candidate, his decision
undoubtedly works out for the
welfare of the State.
