COST OF TUBERCULOSIS
THEME OF PROFESSOR.
Billion Dollars Year Is Expense
Plague Puts on Nations
Shoulders.

Washington, June A. Irving
Fisher. Phi. D., professor of econo-
mics at Yale University, read pa
per from the topic. "A Revised Es-
innate of the Economic Cost of Tu-
berculosis," before the sociological
section of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis, here.
The paper reviewed the stats
tics of tuberculosis since 1908, when
Professor Fisher gave a report on
this subject before International
CONGRESS- on tuberculosis. At that
time he showed that tuberculosis
costs the country over $1,000, 000,-
600 year, of which at least $440,-
100000, and probably much more.
were costs borne by others than the
victims of the disease.
These costs include the costs or
sickness and loss of earnings suf-
fered by the families whose wage
earners are first crippled and then
killed by the disease. At the same
congress Professor Wilcox estimat-
ed that the losses to society from
tuberculosis were $3.50. 100000, and
Professor Glover Of the University
of Michigan, showed that the losses
from the deaths of men workers
alone were s42.000.000 for every
500 of yearly earnings
All three of these Investigations
of four years ago are now confirm
ed by professor Fishers estimate
for 1912. and they all substantially
agree in the conclusion that the
annual actual monetary loss to so {
ciety from tuberculosis, without
the losses to the victims I
If the disease themselves, exceed {
lalf billion dollars a year. The /
igure for this social losses will a
each at least $50, 100000. Il

tie the losses to the victims them e

4 BIC NEW GIN OUTFIT
Eden Gin Company Of This City Put.
ting In onsNof the Finest
Plants in State.

Bryan is to have one of the latest
and most modern gin plants in Texas,
or in all the South for that matter 1t
is being installed by the Eden Gin
Company, which purchased the Howell
gin year or two ago.
They have torn down the old two
story corrugated iron building that has
heretofore housed their plant and a
new one-story building, with concrete
floors, has been erected in its stead to
accommodate the new plant.
The new plant is what is known as
the "one-story allsteel Murray out
fit" The gins, conveyors. condensers,
and other parts are constructed of
steel, which will make the plant as
near fire-proof as 1t is possible for a
gin outfit to be made. The outfit will
consist of eight seventy-saw gins, with
all other necessary equipment, and
will have capacity of from seventy.
FIVE to one hundred bales a day. The
plant will be operated by a new $50.
horse power Corliss engine.
Two carloads of the new machinery
arrived today and others will be com.
ing in from day to day until the whole
plant is here. A large force of work
men will put the machinery in place
as fast as it arrives.

is that @one hand should wash the

bine means to throw over to him New
York Maryland, Indiana. and Virginia,
all of which they appear to have well

The erux of the present situation, how
ever. Is this: VIII the combine Try to

displaeing Clark and taking up Gay
nor, Underwood, or Harmonl
Clark stands a reasonable chance of
getting the nomination. But his open
deal with the combine of reactionar;es
may cost him the support of many of
his Western delegates We size up the
situation that the average Westerner
would prefer Bryan or Wilson as the
nominee, in case one of them would be-
come the favorite Of the Murphy, &c,
crowd. Has Clark forgotten that his
Western supporters were chosen on Mr..
Bryan's assurance that he was a good
enough radical? Did he show himself
to be one in the chairmanship fight?
The more he dicLers with the Ryan
ties" the less acceptable he will become
to the "Bryanites."
The Washington herald., 1912-06-27
Roosevelt, Baltimore, and Bryan

We quote from our editorial in yes
terday's issue of The Herald:
I'VE doubt not that Mr.. Roosevelfs
active programme is being held up pend
ing the Baltimore result. If the con-
vention IS willing to give him any num-
Der of voters by driving over to his
camp radical Democrats he would be a
formidable factor right from the out
set. No one is quicker to see things
than Col Roosevelt With such help
he might make a successful run, for no
one has a better talent for inspiring
his followers TO fight to a finish than
the self-sppointed leader of the new
bandanna' party
1t was a pretty straight prediction,
for two Of Mr.. Roosevelts lieutenants,
Heney OF California and Charles R.
Crane of Chicago, suddenly appeared in
Baltimore for a confidential talk with
Mr.. Bryan, which lasted fully three
. quarters of an hour
On another occasion, after the ban
danna' party had been formed in such
great haste, we said: Give Roosevelt
the chance to pair with Bryan on a
Presidential ticket, thus gaining hun
dreds of thousands of Democratic votes,
and it will be the hardest nut to crack
for the Taft ticket"
This tells the situation exactly. Roose-
welt without Bryan or any other DEM
ocratic leader of prominence, who has
the confidence of the rank and file in
that party. may be ignored by the Re
publican campaign leaders. But Roose-
welt, paired with Bryan or another lead
ing Democrat, will become a formidable
enemy to fight and TO defeat. That this
was his plan appealed to our sense of
logic at once. But that he is so anxious
about such a pact as to send his trusted
men to see Mr. Bryan, even before
the Baltimore convention has decided
upon a nominee and before Bryan's pos
slble defeat has become a certainty, goes
to prove that Teddy is wide awake to
the situation.
He IS far-sighted enough to see that
calculation everywhere IS against his
proposed third party, except perhaps in
certain localities. unless he succeeds in
bringing to it the support Of a Demo-
cratic running mate, in which case the
disgruntled Republicans paired with the
ultra-progressive Democrats would Gre
ate a combination which only the most
untiring efforts of the Republicans could
beat at the polls.
The Washington herald., 1912-06-27
Clark's Game.

The selection Of Judge Parker as tenn
Porary chairman against the earnest de-
sire of Mr. Bryan, that is, against the
wishes Of the representative of the DOM
inant sentiment in the party, has set
the Baltimore convention going with a
squabble As a United States Senator
put It, who was present when the vote
was taken, the doings there were far
more confused and the turmoil greater
than at Chicago" The difference was
that the strife was not over the right
Of the delegates to decide questions for
the convention. 1t was a difference of
opinion among them.
In good truth the slogan might well
have been Organism vs.. Ryanism," and
Tammany won by sixty-eight votes. The
reactionaries have the convention we'll
in hand, while Bryan had with him only
one Presidential candidate, Woodrow
Wilson. All the others simply lodged
the issue. and they will be sorry for
It when the Tammany Tiger and Roger
Sullivan, in the heat of the real fight,
shall begin to show their teeth.
Wall Street Democrats naturally
would stand by the reactionaries. Those
who have been for Parker favor a
milder course, with perhaps a candidate
like Champ Clark. lukewarm progress
sive, or Mayor Gaynor, with his feet
planted firmly upon the ground. 1t is
but natural that those holding the rib
bons at Baltimore have an ardent desire
to drive the Democratic coach all through
the next administration. But from
what we know of Mr.. Gaynor he does
not respond well to the halter He is
fierce, battling. and restive under the
curb. and if pushed from behind is apt
to kick. In fact, he is a hard kicker.
Therefore, the steady drivers of the ad-
ministration coach hardly would like
to hitch Gaynor to it
Clark would be better, for he is tame
and willing enough, under all circum-
stances, TO trot the road assigned him by
the leaders, and he might even safely
be left standing at any post with
out hitehing. 1t is said among the
convention wiseacres at Baltimore that
Clark declined to deliver his strength
