Publicity for Diseases .

AT the tenth annual conference OF
the state and territorial health au-
thorlties with the Public Health
land Marine-Hospftal Service recenr-
ly held in Washington. a resolution
was adopted which, II carried out,
should become an important factor
in the future development of public
health work in the United States.
The object of the action taken is
to develop a plan by which the
state health authorities can keep
currently informed of the prevalence
and geographic distribution of COM
municable diseases throughout the
country as n whole, and by which
they can also be promptly notified
OF the occurrence OF epidemics In
states other than their own. In
these days OF rapid transit in which
the railroad has made as close
neighbors OF the Atlantic and Pa
ciflc coast states as were New York
and Pennsylvania a century ago..
every state should for its proper
protection have knowledge of the
sanitary conditions in other states,
and as to the communicable dis
eases evey state is certainly entitled,
10 full information regarding their
in every other state.
The resolution asks' the health
department OF the several states to
report by telegraph to the Public
Health Service whenever cases Oh

On the Toboeean

The general lack of enthusiasm

ment plainly indicates that the
movement will play no important
part in the presidential campaign
The belief has been rapidly spread,
ing that Colonel Roosevelts atti-
tude is solely of personal ambition
and OF greed for power, as was made
evident in Chicago by his quick
change of heart when other pro-
gressive possibilities were brough
forward, and by his egotistic posi-
ton since that there can be, M
other progressive candidate for thu
presidency but himself. The Amer
lean Banker declares that the move.
ment is already well down the tobog-
gan slide, as follows:
Already. at the outset Of the cam
paign it is a safe prediction to say
that ex-President Roosevelt is a
quantity. He was
stronger last week than he is this,
and stronger this week than he viii
be next. He will continue to de-
cline until election day, and his vote
will be too small to give him
single. electorate vote or make him
an appreciabie factor in the result.

Or Republicans They believe in

So-called progressive Republi-
cans. the Democratic party expects
to vote for Woodrow Wilson. can
never reconcile themselves to Will
sons FREQ trade views, and as he is
making them the vital issue in the
campaign, he need not expect their
vote. Theodore: Roosevelt says
Wilson Is free trader and that free
trade ID wrong. Colonel Roosevelt
practically holds the Republican
view as to the tariff, that is to say,
a protection that will protect the
American workmen against the pau
per labor of foreign countries and
give the manufacturer reasonable
profit on his Investment. Woodrow
Wilson's early expression of his free
trade views precludes the possibility
of his receiving any progressive RE-
publicans' votes.

Wilson a Free Trader


AS there seems to be grave doubt
on the part of many persons, princi-
pally Democrats, in regard to
Woodrow Wilson's position on the
great tariff question. the following
elucidation from the New York
Press will prove to be interesting
and helpful to them:
Woodrow Wilson is a free trader.
He is the sort of free trader that,
II able to put cherished views into
actual practice. could be the most
dangerous of all to American indus
tries and American wage-earners
The scholastic free trader. The aca-
demic free trader. The theoretic
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1912-07-11

Free trade has never been a, part
of the stock in tradefof the progress
sives. 1t is as old as the hills with
the Democrats. Or, Wilson will
have, to go some to get into the pro-
gressive class, if he really believes
that is a part of progressiveness.
One wonders why he does not shake
the old thread-bare garments off.
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1912-07-11

After TBloviator Bryan and others
did all that shouting about Woodrow
Wilson as a progressive, he merely
comes out as one of those old free
traders and tries to work off that
old gag about the high cost of liv-
ing being the result of a protective
tariff. He will have to do better
than that If he ever expects to come
up to the bloviatorTs speed. The
Telegram borrowed that word. bio
yiater., from the Parkersburg State
Ionrnal.

The sentimental free

free trader. The sentimental free
trader.
The proposition in a book apply
ing to things that do not exist, to
men that do not live, is as clear as
daylight to the scholastic free
trader. To the free trader who
never had to make an article and
sell 1t against the article made by
somebody else. The free trader
who never had a cost of production
TO face. The free trader who never
had to meet payroll out of pro-
ceeds from the sale of articles pro-
duced to sell. The free trader, in
fact, whose own income has always

Woodrow Wilson is a scholastic
free trader-the worst kind for the
Imill that must have market to GO
on producing, the worst kind for the
wage Garner whose mill must, have
a market if his wage is to go on
feeding him. ,y,..
In this campaign nobody is going
to hurt Woodrow Wilson's claims
upon the White House by proving
his. ingratitude TO political bosses;
that is what the people like. No.
body is going to hurt his claims by
charging that he is antagonistic to
great men whom he ought to rev.
erence; that is what the people like.
Nobody is going to hurt his claims
by taxing him with playing to the
galleries; that is what the people
like.
But people don't like to have
their employment taken away from
them and given to people in foreign
Hands. They don't Like to have theil
wages diminish or disappear. They
don't. like to lose their bread and
butter. They love Woodrow Wilson
or any other man, for many things.
But If he has IN his mind ma!
tional program that can threaten
their. work and @ages they are not
going to love him in that role.
Woodrow Wilson is free trader
and the party behind him is free
trade party, giving him, upon which
to stand, platform making for
tree trade. Gf he is to be de-
feated in this campaign 1t will be on
that issue and no other-the issue
of the bread and butter OF the
American. people as they have been
accustomed to earn it since the time
of the latest Democratic president
Grover Cleveland-sixteen years
ago, when. instead of long lines of
wage-earners going in to their work
each morning. there were long bread
lines everywhere in the United
State. y2o.

For the first time in this state the
voters must express their first and
second choice for nominations in the
event there are two or more candidates
for the same office, at the coming pri-
naries. Why it should be SO isn't quite
ctear to US. These sharp edged nanda.
tory propositions are getting too num-
erous. Vote for first and second choice
or you don't vote at all where there is a
choice of more than two, that is the
legal mandate. Why should the voter
be deprived of a good first choice if the
others are in some manne Objectionable
to him? Thousands will be found who
have no preference beyond the first
choice, and to compel them to express
their second choice against their will is
abridgiug the liberty of the voter in
the matter of selection.

The Mary Todd Lincoln Memorial

HANA AooN "
Blessed with the wisdom of the
years that have elapsed since the close
of the civil war We see things in a
truer light. in the illumination Of a
better perspective. The bitter mem
cries of the war have passed; the bet
ter memories remain. Men and women
whom We knew as our deadly enc
mics. whom we hated with the scorn
born Of strife, are nov seen to have
been human. following their light as
they beheld it.
The fierce light which beat about the
White House in those days revealed
whatever seemed subject to criticism
in the characters Of President Lincoln
and his wife. and their foes, many
in number and ingenious in invention.
made the most Of their opportunities.
Time has cleared away from the noble
brow of Lincoln the clouds which en-
veloped it in war and for a short time,
a very short time. after the close Of
the war.
Not so with Mrs. Lincoln. 1t has
remained for u day and generation
to accord justice to this woman, so
much censured. Historians who have
followed the lead Of prejudiced mem
bers of their calling have depicted her
in an ENJOYABLE light, but a fairer
estimate Of her life and the place
which she filed at the side Of her
president husband is succeeding to the
colored observations Of her foes. Per
sons who knew her are coming for
ward with testimonials to her entire
devotion to her husband and to her
share in his work for the Union. Their
| opinions Of Mrs. Lincoln are crystalliz-
ing in the proposed fund which is
| being raised to erect a national Mary
| Todd Lincoln memorial hall at Sayre
Female college in Lexington. Ky, her
birthplace.
The north honors Mrs. IHncoln as
the helpmate Of her huband in the

he was assassinated. The south re.
veres her as a member Of one Of its
