What is the Use2

Ggenlor William E. Gl&sscocH
covers enough ground in his proc
lamation converting the Legislature
in extra session to keep that body
busy all Winter s,1d throughout the
summer; yet the extra session can
not endure more than one week
1t must be cut short by the regular
sessions conven i1g-
One may well ask-un the cir
cumstances: Why he cal ed it and
what was the use Of doing 50?
There will not be enough hard;
to read the bills he would haze "1-
acted into law and certainly not any
time to consider them. Before they
can get to the third reading after
being referred to committees AMI
changed to suit the committees vita
consideration Of them by the two
bodies of the legislature. final ad-
journment or the special session will
have taken place.
Perhaps, the governor means the
extra session as only the starting
point of the regular session He
certainly can not expect definite and
final action CT all the measures he
has included in his PROCLAMATION,
If he does, he expects the impos-
sible.
One measure might hav0 gotten
through the extra session but 1t IS
certain nc.1e vii with dozen IN

time.

A ouest:onabIe Treatment.

The Friedman treatment for con
sulapuc.l has recently been an
nounced in 2 most sensational way
through the newspapers Of an Amer
len news pspev syndicate Accord
ing to the journal o. the American
Medical Association this method o.
tratment does not appear TO Dc
based on any new principle. Il
represents simply another effort to
utilize for curative and preventive
purposes the antigenlc substances
in the tubercIe bacillus. without al
the same time introducing any toxic
or harmful substances
In order to secure this effect, iv-
Ing baciIli, devoid OF viruleace, so 1t
is asserted, are injected deep into
the muscles. These Dacint are said
10 be derived from the turtle, but
The method by which they are rem
dered harmless IS withheld This
secrecy is not in accord with the
ethical standard CT scientific medi-
cine. The report as to the results
Of the practical use of this caresu4Iy
guarded secret shows, first, that IN
the experiments on guinea pigs COM

indications that it has been possIole

seem 10 indicate that the fluid IN

that the injections will prevent tn
berculosis in children, and from TIT
nature of the case it VIII be exceed

enect OF such injections really is
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1912-12-20

The alleged curative eTects do not
seem 70 be any more pronounced
and deauite than those obtained
with the various forms Of tubereuiin
when properly used Besides, the
use OF this fluid is probably not with
out danger
In view of these considerations,
says the Journal. there is not suf-
fcient warrant for any other atti-
tude toward Fredmann's treatment
OF tuberculosis than one OF critical
neutrality and iudic:ous skePt.c!sm-

peculiar Position Taken.

Just how highly and over paid
county officials such as sherifis hg-
ure it out that it is in The interest
Of the taxpayers that they be thus
paid is a problem beyond solution
Yet that appears to be exactly what
sheriHs whe recently met at Hunt
ington for the purpose to take steps
to resist the enactment of county
salary law thought about it. al
though II can not be logically
argued that an equitable salary for
a sheriff is not better for the taxpay-
ers. The action Of the sherins-elect
present at the meeting is being ad-
yerseIy criticized throughout the
state 1t is true that there are a
few Democratic press exceptions
such as the Exponent The Charles
ton Gazette comments as follows on
the meeting:
The sheriKs-e!ect who met in
secret session at Huntington last
Saturday, did not give out the de-
tails OF their proceedings, but there
is no secret as to the project which
called the men together. They OBJ

Municipal Code Needed.

Three or four weeks before cvery
SESSION OF the legislature, agitatons
are started in practically every city
IN West Virginia for applications to

the unusual growth OF communities
and rapidly chang ne conditions
therein make new city charters I'M
perativc. In perhaps 4 larger num-
her OF instances. dismal failures OF

legislative amendments. In suh

This biennial charter turmoil ought

lsIature-
The need of the hour IS state
municipal code and the forthcoming
legislature would do well to devote
some OF its attention to that need in
stead OF debating over a dozen spec
iaI city charters. Several years ago
q commission was formed for the Dur-
pose Of 5nyez-gating the subject and
OF making recommendations for a
municipal code That commission has
complied its report and the result OF
its IaDors is al ready for legislative
consideration The report gives the
basis for 4 general law by which all
towns and city governments may be
organized and administered. The code
should be, general in its application
and by it local eIf-sovernnent
should be preserved, as far as pos
sibIe. TO all municipal corporations.
L should be possible under such
general law for the people OF each
municipality 70 plan their own meth
DDS of administration and even to
adopt commission features Of they 50
desire.
The Telegram believes that were a
vote to be taken today among the
people Of West virginia on the ques-
ton of adopting a state municipal
code the proposition would be carried
by a greater majority than was re-
ceived by the recent prohibition
