Tuberculosis Law Necessary

Tuberculosis Law Necessary.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Now that the Senate has passed Sill
zer's tuberculosis bill the measure
should &c through the House in short
order and quickly be put up to the
Governor for his signature.
If this bill becomes a law and it is
properly enforced, it will do more for
the stamping out of the white plague
than anything in recent years.
The bill is a boon to the a%uti-tuber-
culosis associations in New Jer-
sey; as now understood it pro-
vides that each county shall erect
a tuberculosis hospital. 1t also en-
powers the State Board of Health with
the authority to compel tuberculosis
patients to observe sanitary regula-
tons in their homes or be sent to a
hospital.
The terrible effect of the disease,
especially in large cities, is too we'll
known to warrant repetition here. BY
all means we should do all in our
power to stamp 1t out, and Silzer's
tuberculosis bill ought to be made q
law as speedily as possible.

CRIMINAL CONGRESSIONAL ECONOMY.

cTTs He Legislators at Washington who are opposing naval in
crease and voting to disband five cavalry regiments and
denying appropriations for coast defenses that would be
of vital Importance in case our coasts should be attacked by a
powerful enemy are the kind of men who in a panic of fear would
fall over each other, if a war should be declared, to vote millions
of money, which then would be of little use in supplying the needed
defenses. Prior to the war with Spain the chronic neglect of Con
gress had left our coasts exposed to attack, the navy was poorly
cared for and army organization was inefficient. When war be-
came inevitable Congress Immediately voted fifty millions. In
difference and unwlse thrift gave place to downright fright. The
great cost of the war with Spain would have been avoided if we
had had at that time the ships that Congress had been asked for.
1t was our apparent weakness in naval armament that tempted
Spain to provoke a war. The economy that cripples the national
defenses borders on the criminal.

Cooperative Stores beneficial.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
When the residents of Montclair
unite to form a cooperative store to
reduce the cost of living it is evident
that said cost of living has reached
very near the end of the string. The
majority of the people behind the CO.
operative plan are well-to-do folks.
They find the food costs exorbitant and
are fighting against it.
How about establishing a list Of CO.
operative stores in Newark? There
would be plenty of w-age-earners willing
to subscribe for stock if it were put
at a nominal figure and representative
men were behind the plan. Mayor
Shank, of Indianapolis, has amply IL

THE sUFFRAdETTE SHAME IN LONDON.

TT F riot and havoc that almost match the crazest outbreaks of
the Paris commune can secure the ballot for women the London
suhragettes are bound to get it. Last nights reign of terror
by these stonethrowing Amazons was the worst yet. One, at least
did not stop at possible murder, as a pistol ball was fred into the
Colonial Office. Destruction of property was indscriminate. These
unsexed creatures disgrace womanhood and shame civilization.
Jail is no deterrent They glory in that as martyrdom. American
womanhood may well look across the seas and, while blushing for
their sex in England, resolve that no such scenes shall be enacted
Ia an American city. |

m MONG the bills passed by the Assembly this week was one
IA appropriating $4,000 for the purchase of the site for a
normal training school in a second or third class county.
The object of this bill is to establish a State normal school in the
southern section below Camden, a praiseworthy one. New Jersey
now has only two State normal schools, a number curiously in
contrast with other States, and their product of trained teachers
annually is utterly inadequate to supply the State demand. New
Jersey has to import teachers from other States to meet her needs
Both the Trenton and Montclair schools are crowded, and at least
one additional school is necessary. South Jersey below Camden is
as remote from Trenton as North Jersey above Newark is. North
Jersey will soon have to be accommodated with a second normal
school to supplement the Montclair school,, but South Jersey
obviously has a first claim. Every section of the State should
have equal opportunities for normal school training, and the South
Jersey public schools should have the choice of South Jersey
teachers.
