WHOSE FAULT IS IT?

From nearly every side you hear the busy men of affairs, merchants, lawyers. doctors, farmers, etc., complain about the miserable and deplorable state of affairs in politics; that the politicians are in the saddle and are running things to suit themselves; that these politicians and those who are seeking and securing the offices are not proper men. etc. to be at the head of affairs; that a good man can't be elected to office, etc.
 True 1t is that many such com plaints are just and correct. but had it ever occurred to you just who is to blame for this state of siairs.
 Is it not a fact, that the very men who make those complaints are largely if not solely respon-a sible for this depIorable condi- \ ton. How is that, do youaaask ? |s Why plain enough. The ahnsy man of affairs, the merchunt, lawyer, preacher, doctor. farmPr, etc.. are so thoroughly absorbed with their own business affairs that they say they can't afford and absolutely will not leave their business long enough to 1 take an active interest in the public affairs. They leave this to MEN who have NOTHING ELSE TO DO and of course they do it.
 IL every community, town. county. and every city where the epresentutive business men and .itizens q mean the real back & ,one citizenship, whether bank ITS, farmers or mechanics) take B . real live interest in public af- airs. the professional politicians dement, is not in the saddle.
 The duties of good citizenship lake it imperative for every ,an to give his attention to the ~ fairs of government. No real ooD citizen can afford. nor will shirk the responsibility of giv- lg of his time and attention to ,atters of public interest.
 The greatest intolerance in the ,al growth and progress of our ty today Is that our busy men

length of a life has already been h. creased in half century about one-third. Intelligence and cooperation have done it. It is a community achievement and we are all the better for It. But when Wilbur Wright died the other day of com municable typhoid, were we not all out ragged, cheated, impoverished as a race?
 No one can go far with his thinking about social betterment until he comes upon the terrific fact of sickness. The wage earner Is constantly taxed and fre- quently defeated and crushed to the earth. dispirited and embittered, by the very shadow of sickness. In a single day, in a single city, you may come upon a score of persons ready to give up the fight for honest independence because all their arrangements have been upset by the long continued sickness of wife or mother, or father, or son, or daughter. Every pastor knows what this means. Every lodge and fraternal order knows if. and provides against it. But as yet we have not reached the true point of view, which is the consideration of the whole prob lem from the community point of view
 as a community loss, to be overcome by the community. We still halt between a defeated individuaism and lame. in- ert community sense; the church and the lodge and sporadic benevolenee vainly try to make up the defect. It happens that consumption is most frequently the particular occasion of this problem. It is therefore one of the goads of the AL mighty. whereby He is driving our slow hoofs forward along the road to man hood. And the presence of that goad is everywhere.

But the dreadful toll is highest where there are no chances to escape dust laden air, constant irritation of the breathing surfaces, constant exposure to cold, con- stant renewal of catarrh, constant def cieney of those nutritious elements in food and air and sunshine and bathing which make the blood rich and clean and red. Perhaps the prophet saw a similar social condition when he mourned over oppres- sion and greed and popular suffering in the pathetic words. "1s there no balm in Gllead? Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daugh- ter of my people recovered?"
 The ultimate goal of the tuberculosis campaign therefore is the elimination of the disease. What methods are neces- sary? At least the worst results of poy- erty must be eliminated. Everywhere the living conditions of the people must be brought up to the level of welfare. Without this every attempt to check the disease by fresh air camps, by segrega- tion, by teaching laws and duties, by in- creasing intelligence and social sense, will be measureably defeated Tho inex- orable power of humanity is behind us, urging us onward. And we must make good Tennyson's vague prophecy,
