franklin county ranks fifth among Yer
mont counties in the percentage of NOR
tally from tuberculosis, having per-
centage of 1870, which is exactly the per.
eentage of the whole state. Washington
county ranks first with a percentage OF
Ill, Bennington next with 1854. then
Chittenden l54, Orange 1875, and Frank.
lin 1870.
The Messenger has suggested many
times within the past few years that
it is the professional and civic duty of
the Franklin County Medical society to
make special study of tuberculosis In
this county and to make house to
house canvass OF conditions in every
neighborhood, as only local practitioners
can, for the purpose of gathering de-
tails and material that could be threshed
out at some appointed meeting of the
society and then given to he public.
The people here have a right TO know
why, in this supposedly high and dry
land of splendid possibilities, this fear.
full white scourge has such foothold
and takes such frightful toll OF the
inhabitants every year
Whose fault is II? How can it be
stopped?
These are questions that are worthy
the best brains and effort Of the medical
profession of the county.-St. Adams
Messenger.

and particularly reasonable in some in
stances. However, it seems to us that
the accusation of clannishness does not
apply in this instance. We are supposed
to be selecting, in the present case, not
someone to be deeked and garlanded
with flowers as a mark of especial favor,
but rather someone to register faithf;diy
the consensus OF popular opinion of all
the Republicans of the state OF Vermont
regarding a candidate for president Of
the country. II Mr.. Vail is in a position
to register that choice correctly, whether
his interests be in Vermont or in New
York, we have no objection to sending
him to the convention as long as he is
a legal resident of the state of Vermont.
But our opinion still is that Mr.. Vail is
not in close enough touch with the peo-
pie of his adopted state to serve them
as faithfully as some other person who
is resident of the state all the time
and IN the public life here. And, in
this connection, we may be pardoncd for
reminding the contemporary that it mis-
took the chief point OF the original
statement Of objection; it was not, nee
essarily, the nature of Mr. Wallis greatest
business interests, but rather that he is
out of touch because of those interests.
Then, too, it may prove to be the duty
of the Republican national convention
merely to renominate President Taft,
but the decomposition does not relieve
Vermont Of some measure of responsible
ity, if representative American govern
ment has not deteriorated into mere
bouquet throwing process.

DISTRIBUTION OF MEDICAL SAM
PIES,

The new state law which purposes to
prevent the distribution of samples of
medicine at houses, practice that is
considered inimical to the public health
of the community, has been thoroughly
tested now in Vermont; and it has been
found to stand the test quite satisfac
torily the case arising from the act Of
an agent in handing a medicine sample
to small girl in the city of Burlington.
From that city the case came to the
Vermont supreme court, where it was
proposed to determine the liability Of
the principal, agents or servants in the
act. The decision there, as announced
in our news columns Tuesday was to
the effect that there was no error in
the proceedings in the lower court and
that the lower court judgment was az
flrmed. Hereafter there will be precedent
enough in Vermont to prevent such dis
tribution of samples from house to
fhouse.
The reason back of this statute is,
as might be easily surmised, the safe
guarding of the lives of the young people
who might be attracted by the samples
Perhaps in majority of cases, the sam
pies distributed at the doors might be
harmless, but there is no discrimination
among children; they promptly eat, or
attempt to eat that which they find, and
the consequences in many cases would
be fatal. Therefore, it is to prevent
such contingencies that the Vermont law
was framed. All distribution must be
stopped. That is plain after the out
come of the Burlington test case.

Bringing this proposition before the
public only strengthens the evidence that
the promoters are acting in good faith,
while little information is given to the
public through the press. We already
know that the real survey has been made
and the actual estimates OF cost of con
struction have been submitted by engi-
neers Of known ability, which fact proves
beyond a question that our aDticipations
viii be blessed with the realization. This
procedure, although we admit long de.
veloping, yet is far from lfeless. It
takes time to bring about changes of
this size and character, and the pro-
moters should receive the hearty CO.
operation from everybody in the district
where this survey has been made II is
with this as with the Depot Square Drug
store; at first it looked as thought it
would be of little use, but the older it
grows and the longer it runs, the more
people realize its usefulness and the in
creased patronage is appreciated The
fact alone that the business has taken
the start it has proves that this city
needs this store. and we assure the pat
ronage we need their support to give the
goods and service that they require.

less than half thousand and with the
popular will for license carried by one
majority in II votes cast at the last cleo

in the revocation of the license, the hold

he will stick as long as he can stand

American Association
To Fight Big Leagues

CHICAGO. Aug. I'm despite of
the secrecy surrounding their meeting
yesterday, it was learned today that the
lnagnates OF the American Association
had pledged themselves to stand to-
gether in demands they expect to make
upon the national baseball commission
expires September 6. Baseball men be-
lieve the prospects of a war between
the strongest of the minor leagues and
the big leagues, are almost NIL, but de-
clare the commission will have to make
important concessions.
II was learned today that the associ-
alton magnates formulated a demand to
be made upon the ma jors. permitting the
minors to demand 5000 for any player
the majors wish before the drafting
season opens. The association magnates
also demand more privileges in drafting
players for themselves from the weaker
leagues.

Enthusiastic over sports.

Several weeks ago The Times printed
ar interview with DR.. William M
Davidson. new Superintendent of the
Public Schools, in which he went on
record as being strongly in favor of all
healthy athletics in the schools of this
city. Because of the rather uncertain
condition of sports in the high schools,
this interview was especially pleasing
to most Of the students. Now Dr.
Davidson has returned to Washington
to take up his permanent residence In
this city, and has once more declared
himself strongly In favor of the motto,
mems sana in corpore sano." And
so, as soon as the schools reopen in
September, the athletically inclined
youths may enter upon their sports with
a realization that they have the hearty
support of the head Of the school sys-
tenn.
