The Convention Town.

The District is a busy place this week.
1t has Congress on its hands," in full
working order. and an unusually full
guest list. It is in active operation as
the national convention city. Today
meets the National Civic Federation,
trying to get action along lines of state
uniformity in the laws. Tomorrow
conference of governors will begin. We'd
nesday the life insurance presidents
will convene. During the week the Amer
lean Association Of Public. Accountants
and the national liquor dealers or
ganization will meet Close on the heels
OF these five assemblages will come the
National Board of Trade. on the 18th.
Washington can easily accommodate
these several gatherings. 1t is never
really crowded. even when the inagura-
ton draws tens of thousands from all
parts of the country. The coincidence of
FIVE national meetings in one week i'm
poses no tax upon its facilities. Yet it
really needs better quarters for these
visitors. a large meeting hall, with con-
ference and committee rooms Some day
this equipment will be furnished and
meanwhile the national organizations will
continue to come. in full force, because
this is the best city in the country for
such PURPOSE.

Treating Tuberculosis.

From the New York Tribune.
Current reports Of the results OF treat
ment of tuberculosis patients at sana-
forums in various states show marked
differences of efficiency. which are per-
haps susceptible of satisfactory expia-
nation. but on the whole give abundant
encouragement for perseverance in the
campaign against the white plague"
Thus in New York in 1907 there were
treated SIT patients, of whom were
cured. 43 had the disease arrested and
80 showed Improvement In New Jer-
sey in 1909 of $40 treated q were
cured, "a arrested and 62 improved. In
Massachusetts In 1907 Of 1880 treated
1877 were cured. 165 arrested and 279
improved. In Rhode Island in 1907
there were 313 treated, of whom II
were cured. "a arrested and 70 I'm
proved. Maryland in 1909 showed rec
ord of $50 treated, Is cured, IS arrested
and 100 improved. On the other hand.
Virginia in the same year had so treat
ed, of whom only / was cured and 2
were arrested. The total record OF the
states named. with Michigan and Wis
consin added. shows 3.343 treated, 276
cured. 452 arrested and 500 improved:
or 1857 substantially benefited.
There were. therefore, 80 per cent Of
the whole number of patients cured.
13.5 per cent had the disease checked
and 1873 per cent were improved: MAX
ing more than 40 per cent benefited to
some perceptible degree. Such q per-
centage of benefit applied to the whole
nation would mean an enormous saving
Of life and an enormous increase of in
dustrial efficiency.

Spare That Tree!

We've got to save the forest land
For what a fearful fate
To the prophetic eye expands
With sawdust out Of date!
Each morn will find US harsh and rude
And all insatiate;
There'll be no patent breakfast food
With sawdust out of date.
The paper roll that slowly ffets
The air with vapors great
Must die. Well have no cigarettes
With sawdust out Of date.
No more the acrobats will fling
Gay f1ipflaps and gyrate.
How can they build a circus ring
With sawdust out of date?
The dancer with her merry whirls
Will find a shapeless state.
What shall we do for ballet girls&
With sawdust out Of date?
No wonder that we shrink in fear.
AS for the end we wait!
This world would be a sorry sphere
With sawdust out of date!

Bunkum and the Inauguration.

washington is not disposed to rise in
protest whenever it is aspersed in Con-
gress, for II fully realizes that the occa-
sional diatribes INDUCED in there at it's
expense are largely for the sake of
Bunkum county" There still remain a
few sections of the country where it is
desired that the chosen representative at
the Capitol shall rise occasionally and
lauIbaste something. Trusts. tariff, land
grabbers. power monopolizers. railroads,
place holders. the advocates OF a large
military establishment. the squanderers
of the public money. all these and others
serve in turn to arouse the tagging in
terest of constituencies. But there is no
reader topic for the member from Bun
KUN than Washington, the pampered pet
Of the government, the recipient Of great
fayors. beneficiary Of federal funds to the
extent Of one-half of the expenses, a COM
munity favored with an occasional hour

Stewardship of Wealth.
from the Boston Herald

From the Boston Herald.
There is no people in the world like
the American in the number Of men
and women who look upon their title
to wealth as involving stewardship and
disposition of income and principal for
public ends. During the last seventeen
years the amounts of gifts, in sums OF
$1,000 or more. to religious. educational.
philanthropic and civic causes has heen
many millions over "A billion dollars.
the record for the year just closing
900 more than during any previous
year. Add to this the enormous sum
that is given each year in sums smaller
than $1,000. given either as regular
contributions to religious. educational
and charitable causes. or left as be-
quests for the same 'uplift" ends. and
it begins to appear why the agitator
nicious thing, finds this country less
favorable to his revolutionary propa-
ganda than he wishes 1t were.

Gov. Hughes.

That is an important announcement in
New York about Gov. Hughes. He does
not desire another term at Albany. and
will not permit the use of his name by
those of his friends who would draft him
for this years campaign. He is serving
in office now as a drafted man. If he
had followed his personal wishes he
would have declined the second term
But his resolution, it is stated. is irrevo-
cable about a third, and he will return to
the practice of law
The republicans. while in control of the
state, are not in good condition. Faction
torn the result OF long lease of
power, they must get together, go
down. The democrats. it is true, are not
a happy family. but are trying to be. and
every fresh embarrassment of their
enemies gives them heart and hope.
Gov. Hughes is not only the strongest
man in his party at home, but one of its
foremost national figures. He Is easily
the ablest chief executive New York has
had since Mr.. Tilden, being at once
man of convictions and backbone, and a
lawyer of the first rank. He sprang into
eminence at bound, and every step he
has taken since has increased his hold
on the admiration of the country. 1t is
generally agreed that his talents and
character are second to those of no man
In public life
1t is no ordinary man. therefore, the
New York republicans must find to take
this mans place. Only the best will meet
the emergency Simply a harmonizer
will not answer. Harmony is necessary.
hut In addition to that the republicans
must find a leader willing and capable
to carry forward the policies for which
the party under Gov. Hughes leadership
is now committed. Some of those policies
have not been. and are not now, to the
taste of the machine men of the party.
but they could not be abandoned without
disaster to the organization. The new
leader must be. if not the equal, of the
school of the man he is to succeed
The talk about Mr.. Roosevelt NAV re-
ceive an impetus. His name comes I'D
with singular frequency and ease. There
are men who associate him with every
emergency and all sorts of duties Does
the country appear to labor? They nomi-
nate Mr. Roosevelt to give it ease Does
university need a president? They
nominate Mr. Roosevelt for the place.
Does state-any state-desire its history
written? Mr.. Roosevelt is Immediately
requested to turn from other topics and
take up that. He has once been Governor
of New York. but those who are propos-
ing him for another stay at Albany are
thinking more Of 1912 and a national
question than Of 1910 and a local oues-
ton.
