Prevention of Disease.

The movement inauguratcd by the
educational department of the Woman 5
Clinic to disseminate accurate infor-
nation among the people concerning the
nature and prevention OF disease is de-
serving OF cooperation on the part of
the public The movement has been
conducted with much energy and yet
so quietly that it has not attracted its
deserved measure of attention.
1t appears that the women engaged
in the work provide places for lectures,
and that seventy or more physicians and
scientists of the city have given talks
10 those assembled upon such matters
as First aid to the injured" What
TO do until the doctor comes in
cases OF poisoning" How to stop
hemorrhage,' Prevention of tubercu-
losis," and similar topics. Twenty
eight OF these lectures were delivered
in the months of November and De-
cember, and they have been continued
at the Public Library during January
and February to appreciative if not
large audiences. The subjects are treat
ed from the popular standpoint. The
people are told simply and plainly what
to do in emergency and are given ad-
vice relative to taking care of the ply
sical organism under all circumstances.
The lectures are of the utmost value to
those who hear them and who practice
the instructions impaired.
An essential part of modern medical
instruction is the prevention of dis
ease. 1t is a well-known fact that a
large part of the illness which falls upon
men and women can be avoided by
proper course of life and resort to pre-
cautions easy enough when understood.
The main difficulty Is the ignorance of
the people upon the subject, and this
must be remedied by education of the
young in the schools or of adults by
means of lectures or the printed page.
All these methods are being pursued,
and the lectures provided by the women
of Washington are of very great value
in the way of preventing illness and
preserving the public health.
The campaign Of education along this
line which the women are waging
should be productive Of most satisfsc-

A Very Remarkable Situation.

Notwithstanding the prosecutions
of the Standard Oil trust and the
tobacco trust, and in spite of court de-
cisions which compelled their dissolu-
ton into alleged competing companies
the securities OF the organizations have
risen enormously in value The New
York Herald says that the stocks OF
the various companies in the oil trust
alone have increased $22I 100000 since
the order of the court was passed, and
it asks whether the conditions which il
was sought to remedy do not now exist
in the same aggravated, but less public,
form.
1t is the opinion of former Assistant
Attorney General McReynolds, who
fought the plan of dissolution which
the courts approved, that competition
has not been restored and that the pur-
pose OF the law has been successfully
evaded. Certain it is that the over
throw of the oil and tobacco trusts,
which was predicted at the time the
government was prosecuting them for
conspiracy in restraint OF trade. has not
occurred. On the contrary, they are
richer and more powerful than ever
II this is to be the result in all cases,
we can imagine that the steel trust will
do all in its power TO hasten the litiga-
ton, which the government has insti-
.tuted, and that all the other trusts will
appeal to the Federal authorities to take
them into court The situation is Ger
tainly a remarkable one, and demon
strstes that the so-called dissolution
of the trusts is to their pecuniary ad-
vantage

The Tariff as an Issue.

Very wise in his day and generation
is Champ Clark, Speaker of the House
of Representatives Having accepted an
invitation to address the legislature of
Kentucky, his native State, Mr.. Clark
delivered a speech which occupies sew
eral newspaper columns. Throughout
its entire length, however, there is not
a word about initiative or referendum
or recall or direct primaries or any of
the new theories of government.
The entire address is devoted to an
arraignment of the Republican party
for inhicting tariff upon the country,
which, according to Mr.. Clark, puts S.
into the pockets of the monopoiistic
corporations for every dollar that it
places in the United States Treasury.
He emphasizes the necessity of reliev-
ing the people from tariff burdens, and
says that in the enactment of remedial
legislation lies the only hope of a re-
duction in the cost of living.
Mr.. Clark has shown political sagsci-
ty in touching the nerve which, after
all, is most sensitive in all the people
He remembers, too, that the only vic
tory which the Democrats have won
since the war was a protest against
the unnecessarily high tariff imposed
upon the country

THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY.
1t Would he Great Memorial and
Eaehasize Gettysburg Speech.

Editor ne Washington Herald:
As everybody is interested in the pro-
posed memorial boulevard to Gettys-
burg. in honor OF our beloved Presi-
dent, Abraham Lincoln, would
like 10 quote his own words from
his Gettysburg speech. where he en-
braced the living soldier with the
heroic dead in distribute for what they
had done there:
But in a larger sense we Cannot dedi-
cate-we cannot consecrate-we cannot
hallow-this ground The brave men liv-
ing and dead who struggled here have
consecrated II far above our poor power
70 add or detract. The world will little
note nor long remember what we say
here: It Is for us, the living. rather to be
dedicated here TO the unfinished work
which they who fought here have thus
far so nobly advanced"
In listening to a gentleman. who him
self commanded Id this fight at Gettys-
burg. pleading before the committee of
Congress the other day in the name of
and In behalf Of these old living SOL
diers, who Lincoln said had helped TO
make this field immortal by what they
had done there Lincoln's words struck
me as almost prophetic. II would be
noble idea to connect this. our Amer
ican Thermopolae, with the White House

road, bearing the name of this great
democratic man. WILLIAM RAMSAY.

REVOLVERS

A revolver is a nickel-plated substitute
for bravery, which has practically driven
the original article out of the market.
1t is a small, loud instrument with a
cylinder, a trigger, and a barrel, through
which lead bullets can be deposited with
great ease and rapidity in burglars. Pc
destrians, political adversaries, and per-
sonaI friends against whom the owner
of the revolver may be temporarily pref
udiced.
The revolver gives puny man with a
S-inch brain and the pluck of a grass
hopper a 1O0-yard reach, and makes him
more deadly than Sioux Indian. There
was a time when this country had no
dangerous animals, except bears and
wolves, and life was safe, except on the
frontiers, but now vast hordes, Of six
teen-year-old boys who use their skulls
for a dime novel bookcase, roam the
streets with cigarettes In their faces and
portable cannon in their hip pockets, pro-
ducing obituaries with the skill and en-
thusiasm of a cholera microbe; while IL
is at all times possible. TO meet a per-
sonal enemy who has been chasing you
for a week, and who Is reluctantly COM
PEELED to defend himself when he catches
you by filling you SO full of lead that
your remains will require eight pail
bearers.
Revolvers are now so generally used
in debate, in domestic quarrels, and rep
artee Of all sorts that 5000 Americans
die of them each year. In India about
this number OF natives die from cobra
bites each year. and the government Is
doing Its best to extinguish the cobras
But in America revolvers are being per-
fected each year, and are now given
away as premiums with tea and soap.

Business Improving.

All reports agree that confidence is
returning in the business world; orders
are flooding the steel mills and other
factories, and stocks are rising.
Let the politicians throw bricks at
each other, let the Mexicans rage
among themselves. and let even the
weather man do his worst in delaying
the arrival OF welcome spring. This
good old country of our goes right
along. growing more and more pros
porous and daily adding to the glory of
its citizenship.
OF course there are many problems to
solve and many injuSticeS to rectify.
But with business booming We can at
least approach vexatious questions in
complacent mood.

Politics and the Pulpit.

Some one has truly remarked that
politics and religion are the only two
subjects that deeply stir the American
people While this is true. there is still
some ground for expressing the opin-
ion that in a country where the sep
aration of church and state is vital
principle the pulpit ought not to be a
rostrum for the delivery of political
harangueS.
In the olden days it was supposed to
DC the province of the clergy to direct
not only the spiritual but the material
welfare OF the people To-day, how
ever, ii is not conceded that the man
who tells Us how 10 reach heaven shall
a,So' dictate our political conduct in
stead of leaving this action to the die
tates of each individual conscience.
Politics has no place in the pulpit, least
OF all upon the day which is dedicated
20 the glory OF God and the unfold
ing OF the gospel OF salvation. A min
jster who undertakes to use his pulpit
as the medium for personal political
utteranccs has but a meager regard for
he high duty to which he IS ordained
II IS perfectly proper TO preach good
y living and TO inveigh against corrup-
ion in high places. Such declarations
make for the benefit OF society. When
a clergyman undertakes, however. to
bose as the political leader as well as
he religious teacher OF his congrcga-
lion he lowers the high dignity OF the
pulpit and does more harm than good

There is no general demand for a

Cleveland, where they have Scent troll

The coinage Of the Scent piece was
discontinued by the government many
years ago. the principal motive being that
the coin In color and size closely re-
sembled the lO-cent piece, and was the
cause OF many mistakes and much con-
fusion.
Should the coinage OF this piece ever
be resumed II is quite likely that the
government would see TO IL that the
former complaints against IL were
made impossible by having il different
