FOR COUNTRYWIDE EFFORT
Foes of Tuberculosis Have Plan to
Use Most Powerful Weapon
on Earth.

April 80 has been set aside this year
as tuberculosis Day" and will be OBJ
served in a manner similar to that
of tuberculosis Sunday in 1910,
when 10000 sermons were preached
on the prevention of tuberculosis. In
he first official announcement Of the
occasion, made by the national asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, the leaders Of the
movement state that they hope to en-
list all of the 33,0O0,0OO church mem
bers in country.
In one respect tuberculosis day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday OF
1910. Instead of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause a special Sunday service, the
national association is going to ask
this year that meetings, at which the
subject of tuberculosis and its pre-
vention can be discussed be held on
Sunday, April 80, or on any other day
near that date, either in the week
preceding or the week following.
What we went" says Mr.. Living
ston Farrand, executive secretary Of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, in a
report on this movement, lis to have
this whole subject of tuberculosis dis
cussed in all of the 100000 churches
of the United States at as nearly the
same time as possible"

from the throat of every Philistine; but Carlisle and Mills were left and they were reinforced by Grover Cleveland MT Mills brought in the tariff bill of 1888 and Randall was unable to kick the stone down the hill that time The bill passed the House over his protest and against his vote.
 Then monopoly turned to the national electorate and bought the Presidency for Ben Harrison. MT. John Wana- maker raised $400,000 and put it into the hands of MT. Matt Quay, who con- summate tactician that he was in the field of corruption, debauched enough votes in New York to turn the scale Thus the stone rolled down hill again
 But not for long. In 1890 Sisyphus carried the stone uphill as though it had been a feather. The democratic majority In the Fifty-s second Congress was more than twice the entire repub- lican membership, and we all thought that the unprofitable and distasteful labors of Sisyphus were over. But the thing was botched. The Senate, that Gibraltar of monopoly and Sebastopel of privilege, true to its creed of the pub lie be damned" would not harken to the orders of the people

make democratic tariff. Will it do it? We shall see.
 In 1874 the country went for democ- racy as Maine went for Governor Kent. When year later the Forty-fourth Congress convened Morrison and Ran dallism were face to face in the dem ocratic caucus and Randall was disas- trously beaten, notwithstanding his heroic work in killing the Ben Butler force bill, though 1t was Blaine who actually killed 1t, not for any love he had for the south, but to withhold from the Grant administration, which was hostile to him, the additional political power the force bill would have con- ferred on 1t. Randall was born whig he lived a whig he died a whig. Not one moment of his life was he a dem ocrat. He was the most valuable asset the republican party had, for he was an honest man, whom ali the wealth of either Ind could not have corrupted. The republican party of Pennsylvania gerrymandered him into Congress and kept him here for nearly 30 years.
 Morrison overcame Randall in 1875, and it Is possible the country would have got some relief from the exac- tions of protection if MT. Speaker Kerr had lived. He died in August, 1878, and the disputed presidential succession came on, and thus the stone of tariff

 Keep still.
 There's power in keeping still.
 And to he effective, one must apply the other half of this apothegm-saw wood.
 Work is salvation. There's health and hlessedness and peace in the regulation task. No matter how poignant the sor- row or how keen the regret or dire the disappointment, there's steadiness of soul in doing the accustomed thing.
 Saw wood.
 If you have no wood to say. no work that fits your hand and mind. you are of all men most miserable. You can only nurse your sullen pride or brood over your fallen fortune and tell over and over to yourself what yourself most hates to hear
 That way lies the state of mind taat courts rebellion or meditates despair.
 Keep still and-saw wood
 You can waste your life in outcry and in friction. You can throw yourself down in the roadway by which men pass and cry aloud and refuse to go on. or you can clnch your teeth and travel with tho caravan.
 And if you will only keep still and go on in the frequented way by and by strength will come and serenity and hope.

 George Eliot says.

through the diffusion of spiritual truth. The first is a scene among the Indians of the northwest and shows the disorediting of the medicine man, who had urged the massacre of Esl1imos in order to bring back lost child. There's an Indian mothers song and chorus of braves assembled for the massacre, tenor solo by the missionary, who appears with the lost. child and presents the bloodshed and a choral number of prayer and praise
 The second scene shows Livingstone sought by Stanley, who vainly persuades him to return home. Natives are con structing a church on the outskirts of their village, and Livingstone's soiloquy ends in Stanley returning alone. The orr chestral and vocal work here is the mere setting for spoken words which how ever, are excelently musical and audible

I think it a. true story The democratic party is Sis yphus and it's mission Is to carry tar if reform on appeal to the people and then have Congress kick it into a cooked hat the first whack it gets at it, and if I am not very much mis- taken that is what is going to occur this Congress, as 1t has repeatedly be- fore. Incompetency. timidity and treachery are just as busy now as they ever were before and seemingly they have again blocked the game. What is needed is cry of rage from the peo- pie.
