FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.

A year or two back we were all
very much interested in the war
against tuberculosis. 1t will be re-
called, says the Savannah News. that
we held meetings and heard speech
es about the white plague" and
promptly and properly adopted res
Olutions and shuddered at the right
moment. But what has become of
the movement? We hear little or
nothing of it now. And yet there
must be a large activity somewhere.
Fourteen million, five hundred
thousand dollars is the sum that is
reported to have been disbursed last
year for the control of tuberculosis.
1t would, of course, be unkind to
speculate upon what percentage OF
the fund reached the patients, OBJ
serves our considerate contempt
rary.

WOMAN MURDERFRS.

Crimes by women are becomi-g
alarmingly frequent During the
past year at least three score muir
ders of husbands were committed
by them, and OWING to the public
attitude where woman is the offend
er only very few were punished.
Because she is a woman judges and
jurors are lenient with the woman
who kills, and public sentiment
seems to be unalterably opposed to
inflicting capital punishment upon
the female slayer. 1t has been a
decade since a woman was hanged or
electrocuted in the United States,
and not often even are women SEN
fenced to the penitentiary.
Within the last six months six
teen women have been held for the
murder of their husbands and nine
of them who faced judge and jury
have been acquitted Prosecutors
are becoming so disheartened that
they feel averse to instituting trials
at all, and even corners juries are
getting into the habit of giving to
woman murderers clean bills of
health. Formerly women, generally,
used poison in the commission of
their crimes, but now they have add
ed the knife, the revolver and the
bludgeon to their instrumentalities
of death.

FOR CLEAN MONEY

Officials Of the Baltimore clearing
house are preparing letter which
will be sent within a few days to
clearing houses throughout the
country requesting their co-opera-
ton in an effort to create a demand
for clean paper money. Clearing
house members everywhere will be
requested to urge their clients to ad-
dress their representatives in con-
gress on the subject
1t is to be hoped that the move
ment for clean paper money will
succeed, especially as to the filthy
and germ-laden one-dollar rags that
are now circulating in such large
numbers in this section. There are
not many nastier things than these
dirt-Iaden bills.

Hon. H. H, Perry, of flag bearer"
fame, used six columns in Sundays
newspapers to announce that he is
candidate for the United States
senate against Senator Bacon. That
is about all it will amount to. Mr..
Perry, who is an intense reformer,
has been running for Office these
many years. He has twice aspired
to represent the Ninth district in
congress, and has the distinction, we
believe, of neither time carrying a

EDITORS AND OFFICE,

The editor of the Savannah Press

er been accused of being one of
those who believe editors should
neither seek Office nor allow it to
be thrust upon them. He is not a
freak. Albany Herald.
Editor StoVall is right. There is
no reason why an editor should not
hold office He has just as much
right to sacrifice himself on the altar
of his country as any patriot, if he
has the time and money enough to
engage in such expensive sport.

The dispatches in the daily papers
told how Rev. RichesOn, the young
preacher in Jail at Boston charged
with the murder of Miss Linnell,
spent Christmas day. He had visit
ors and flowers, and presents were
sent to him. 1t is hard to conceive in
what way he is of interest to the
general public, especially woman
kind. Yet, it is said that most of
his Christmas membranes were
from women, despite the fact that
he is charged with having murdered
an innocent young girl who believed
in his honor and regard for her.

the Georgia delegation should go

Judson Harmon, the great Ohio
statesman. 1t looks to us at this
time that it would be a serious mis-
take for the democrats not to nomi-

he is much stronger than Governor
Wilson, or any other man suggested
for the presidency so far by the dem
ocrats, and with the right man for
a running mate he would be a sure

Kings were invented shortly after the

Originally. king was a man who was
so handy with a sword or large stone
club that no one dreamed Of disobeying
him. The early kings were great fighters
A king usually led his army into battle
and hewed a neat and workmanlike path
through the opposition with his battle
az, until he met some other candidate
with better backhand stroke than his.
Then he died and was buried with his
hands folded piously, and his toes point
ing heavenward, while the man with
the improved chop had a new sweatband
put in the crown. and wore It until he
got fat and neglected training. about
which time he usually met some rising
young axman and was filed away in a
handsome sarcophagus for future genera
tons to gaze at. There was really little
difference between the early king busi-
ness and the priZe-hghting game, except
that the former was more unhealthy.
When king succeeded In dying in
bed with his boots on and his head on,
he passed the crown on to his Oldest son.
This has always been one OF the weak
nesses OF the system, owing to the WELL
known inciinaticns Of. the sons of sue
