Mr.. Reed and the Presidency.

In q high, and upon the whole q just,
appreciation of Thomas B. Reed. which
appeared the other day in the New
York Tribune. George w. Smalley made
a surprising statement This was that
Mr. Reed could have had the presi-
dency If he would have made certain
concessions. But" continued Mr.. Small
ley, "he would make none which he
deemed dishonorable. or inconsistent
with principles which all men knew he
held"
What was demanded Of Mr.. Reed7
And by whom? Only once was he q
factor in a contest for his party's nres-
idential nomination, and then he was
easily defeated. The manager OF his
campaign. Joseph Manly Of Maine. was
outmaneuvered by MIR. Hanna, who was
in charge of the Mckinley campaign,
and practically threw up the sponge
before the balloting in convention be-
gan. He was severely criticised for
his action by some Of his associates.
but by none who was as familiar with
the situation as himself. He made no
charges of impropriety on tho part Of
the observation-disclosures he would
have been justified in doing had there
been good reason.
Public judgment at the time ascribed
Mr.. Reeds defeat to three causes, u)
He had no personal popularity. Many
men admired him. but few loved him.
Many who admired feared him. His
tongue was as keen as a needle, and
his temper uncertain. In debate, and
sven In private conversation. he was a
cold and formidable proposition.
ca Mr.. Mckinley, In addition to
being greatly admired. was personally
the most popular public man OF his
generation In America Toward him
admiration and affection went to-
gether. He charmed men by his man
ner and his manners The men who
nominated him at st Louis in 1895 did
20 with an enthusiasm seldom wit
messed in our politics- In the matter
Of personal address he had Mr.. Reed
distanced.
(3) Geographically. Mr.. Reed was ou,
Of line. and Mr.. Mckinley directly In
line. Maine was regarded as q Ions
way from taw. Twelve years before
the party had gone there for its candi.
date. and, although the most brilliant
man in the country. he had lost to q
comparatively obscure man.
1t Is true. as MI. Smalley declares
that Mr.. Reed was superior to tempta.
tions Of q dishonorable character ever
as respected tho highest ONCE under
the government But the question is
Did he ever meet such temptations
Not his supposition. but his informa
tion. on that point Is what Mr.. Smalley
should give the public now that he ha.
introduced tho subject

The Fight Against tuberculosis.

some disappointment is expressed Dy
those in charge Of the sale of the Red
Cross seals that the local returns are only
about $500, a much larger contribution
to the fund for fighting tuberculosis hav-
ing been expected from Washington. 1t
is quite possible that the full significance
Of these tokens was not appreciated by
the people of the capital, although the
purpose for which they were printed was
fully explained. They stood for the high
est form Of charity, an effort to assist
those suffering from dangerous disease.
They represented not merely the succOr
of the unfortunate, but the prevention of
a spread Of the disease among others.
They were symbols of widespread edu-
cational effort and deserved the heartiest
fullest support from all classes OF people,
In ordinary charity efforts it is neces-
sary to touch the hearts OF those who
have something to give and induce them
to contribute to the rescue Of others
from the pressure of poverty. This is not
necessarily the immediate business Of the
giver, save as he may regard himself as
a member Of tho great universal family.
The fight against tuberculosis, however.
Is everybody's fight. No matter in what
station Of life, every member of the COM
munity is personally concerned in the
crusade against disease which may be
communicated from the humblest homes
to the highest. which may be carried from
the child Of poverty to the child OF at
fluence.
tuberculosis is now recognized clearly
as a communicable and preventable dis
ease. The organized work Of fighting it
seeks not only the cure Of those already
afflicted. but the stoppage OF all channels
Of communication. The money secured
from the sale OF the Red Cross seals is
put to direct use in maintaining an es-
tablishment where patients are treated.
but its usefulness extends much farther
in forwarding the demonstration Of the
be understood by all classes OF people
against this scourge.
Viewed from the standpoint Of the
physical welfare Of the people there is no
moro important undertaking today than
that Of lessening the chances Of tuber-
culosis communication Its ravages con-
tinue at an appalling rate. and yet no
acute public alarm IL caused by the sta
tistics Of the health returns which record
the victims Of pulmonary infection. Were
one-half as many people to die Of small
pox or scarlet fever or typhoid as now die
of tuberculosis those diseases would be
Immediately declared to be epidemic and
extraordinary measures would be adopted
to check them. 1t IL unfortunate that the
crusade against tuberculosis must depend
in such large measure upon the voluntary
givings Of the people. and 1t Is to be
hoped that in the near future all the pub
lie agencies Of health regulation will be
equipped with sufficient funds to conduct
this work as a measure Of public neces-
sity.

The South and Protection.

The Star recently expressed the oplnloh
that the democratic party. triumphant at
the polls on the tariff issue, would again
fail 10 live up in Congress to It's cam
paisn professions and promises; that as
tho Morrison bills, the Mills Dill, the
Springer bills and the German wilson
bill-the last named becoming law

forthcoming, would the Underwood Dill
be found to contain them.

SENATE COMMITTEE
AFTER FILIPIN0S
DECIDES THAT IMMIGRATION
RESOLUTION SHOULD BE
INTERPRETED BROADLY.
nrrom wednesday.s AdvertIaer.,


The investigation of Hawaii's immi-
grafton questions by the select COM
mittee of the senate appointed for that
purpose commenced yesterday when the
committee held it's initial session and
mapped out its line of future proceed
ure The meeting was held immedi-
ately after the regular session had ad-
iourned and was attended by no one
except the committee members.
The one definite thing decided upon
was that the Filipino immigration now
being conducted by the planters assO-
citation will legitimately come under
the investigations of the committee
and there will be numerous requests
sent out for attendance upon the part
of the officers of the association.
There was a question raised at first
whether the sense Of the committee
was to investigate along lines confined
to the subjects brought up in the an
NAL report of the immigration board
to the Governor, but it was finally de-
cided that the committee would put
the broadcast possible construction on
the resolution which called 1T into be
ing.

question in the Islands" said Chair

meeting. "Bven the Hawaiians them

NEW GENERAL LAWS
SIGNED by FREAR

There are now three new laws for the
Territory to live up to and also one
more commission among the governors
lock to share in the responsibilities of
government.
Governor Frear yesterday signed
house bills Is, 10 and 20, which were
passed by the senate on third reading
and they become Acts 9. and pespec-
lively. The new commission is one of
four members, one from each island,
which is to plan an exhibit for Hawaii
at the Panama Pacific Exposition.
The governor stated yesterday that
he had not considered it long enough
yet to be able to consider any appoint
ments.
One of the bills signed provides for
more work for the warden and less for
the board of prison inspectors, and
places more of the responsibility on the
attorney general than he before had re-
garding prisoners. AS the warden has
been doing the work for the board, any
way, for some time, the change will not
be greatly felt.
Bill number 20, now Act 3, repeats the
section of the municipal act relating to
city inspectors of elections. This is one
of the shortest bills yet introduced, but
win prevent election inspectors here
after drawing double wages from the
city and Territory.
The other bill directs the supreme
court to prepare forms for use in all
the courts and provides for the sale of
them to cover the expense Of prepare
tion and printing.
