Presidents Graciousness.
(Boston Transcript-Ind)


1t is an act of graciousness on the
part of the President which will win
the admiration of the people of this
country that he has invited the Presi-
dent-elect and his wife to be the guests
of himself and Mrs. Taft that they
may obtain a preliminary acquaintance
with the quarters that they are later to
occupy 1t is something new in the
courtesies of that exalted position. 1t
would be less to be remarked We're the
President to voluntarily retire and
his successor was of his own political
faith, though no favors of that sort
were offered him when he entered the
White House under those circumstan-
ces. During the campaign the Presi-
dent and his most formidable rival
have remained the best of personal
friends Each has appreciated the
honesty and the many fine qualities Of
the other and they have not permitted
the eXigencies of the campaign to
make them forget that they were gem
tlemen, or suspend even temporarily
their mutual good will. We believe
this is something that has never been
done before, but it hasN evidently been
prompted by pure friendliness and we
trust the gracious precedent may be-
come an established custom.

The Hon. Cyrus w. in w. Virginia

We publish below an editorial from
lions Advocate which in turn en-
bodies excerpts from a West Virginia
newspapers comment. We reprint il
as one more proof for Maine people
why the present administration has
remained so deeply solicitous for the
benefits 'of regulation" in our
State. II While Democratic leaders
have hueter. to our knowledge, denied
that they were working for the booze
makers, they have, we all know, pre-
tended that they believed there is less
drunkenness and disorder under the
booze trusts regulation" plan than
this claim is has been amply demon
strated. And now, to show his fervid
interest in the moral welfare of hui
manity, Mr.. Cyrus w. Davis, secre-
tary of State for Maine. has been
neglecting his official duties to save q
sister state from the menace of pro-
hibition-and his efforts for his fellow
man were directed by an agent of the
| beer trust.
Such pure disinterestedness and
| God-like unselfishness is seldom seen
| in political affairs. And when politi-
clans with such marked contempt for
| the "hypocrites," "cranks,7 fanatics, -
| ''hoodlums' and odd NUTS" of their
own state, go hand in hand with the
| booze makers to rescue other states
from like conditions. it is indeed
touching.
The following was clipped from
lions Advocate:
In spite of the fact Cor was it be-
| cause of IT'D that the Honorable Cyrus
w. Davis, Secretary of State of Maine
has been stumping West Virginia in
| the interests OF the liquor traffic, that
State last Tuesday showed that she
knew what she was about by voting
| for state wide prohibition by a major
ity of some $4,000. We welcome her
TO the column of dry States! We con-
graduate her on her magnificent vic
tory We beg to assure her. too that
there are several kinds of us up here
in the State of Maine besides that
represented by the Honorable Cyrus
Possibly that assurance is not neees-
sary however. The people of West
Virginia seem to have got on to- him.

| and to have been able to appreciate
| the value of his cheap and derogatory
| talk about the State that is paying
| him a salary while he goes about the
| country vilifying it. The ParkersburS
Advance, in an editorial entitled
Undertaking Maine" has this to say
rotary:
Cyrus w. Davis, Secretary of State
for Maine, who has just been repudi-
ated by the voters of his State on &C.
count of his efforts to get the saloons
established in that State, has been
getting even by touring over West
Virginia undertaking the people of his
own State. He has been working I'M
der the direction of George M. Nc
Dowell, agent of the United States
Brewers Association of Wheeling, and
spoke at the Court theater last Fri
day. According to Davis, Maine is a
rotten old dump and not fit for decent
people to live in. He warns West Vir
ginia people to stick to the saloon
and beware of Maine. E. -.
According to Secretary of State
Davis, the people of Maine are lot
of old NUTS and hypocrites. Proba-
bly, that is the best kind of revenge
that he can get for being beaten at
the last election
AS to the last suggestion we would
correct the Advance. 1t is not who'll
~ revenge, for he made the same talk
at the national convention of beer
makers and sellers in Chicago, last
year. 1t is the same kind of talk as
made by other Maine Democratic
leaders in other states. in the last Is
months, We,.are inclined to think
Mr.. Davis believes himself-when he
is under the direction of an agent Of
the Z. S. Brewers Association"
Another surprising thing in West
Virginia which. like the vote for pro-
hibition. may not have been due to
the illustrations of Mr. Davis, is the
fact that the full Republican state
ticket won. While DR.. Wilson car
ried the state by 10000 plurality, the
legislature is Republican on joint bal
lot and will send Republican to the
L. S. Senate in place of Senator Wat
son, Democrat
So the activity of the booze trust
may have been worth something to
humanity after all

The Single Tax Plan.

A well known Augusta business
man asks this question of the editor;
What is single taxi"
That is some question" if it is
supposed to be answered satisfae-
torily. We might ramble around
Robin Hoods barn, talking about the
late Henry George and his logic, but
probably we wouldn't know any more
and the reader would know less, than
before. So we have attempted 10
boil it down, as we understand it, to
thinking points.
1t is the fixing of the only tax bur-
den of the people upon the value OF
the land, unimproved.
OF course a majority of the people
must first agree that the present adj
justment Of the tax burden is unjus
and oppressive to the real producers
of increment; that this maladjust-
ment turns the ground rent" into ths
pockets of monopoly, malefactors
and other privileged ones, while the
toilers pay for the machinery that
grinds them.
The basis for the system is claimed
in the right of all those loyal to the
government to share in the site
values of land, these values being ere
ated by community and demand.

Editorial Comment
Triumph of Good Government.


Mayor Fitzgerald's decision not to
run for mayor of Boston again is one
of the most notable triumphs of good
government. The improvements in the
laws which hemmed in the mayor upon
his election under the new charter
tended to hold him down to his duties
so that he had to walk straight wheth-
er he wished or not. He says that he
is tired of the duties of officialdom and
wants to go into a live business. 1t
may always be doubtful if the mayor
wished to be a politically virtuous Of
ficvholder. 1t is the way of really
good government not to leave this to
the choice of the official, but to re-
quire the right course by compulsion.
When cities and States do that they
viii see fewer hack politicians than
they do now Arbitrary power tempts
them asa live business now does the
mayor.

A discovery can be made but once.
After that all similar acts become

Newbro's Herpicide is a discovery.
1t was the first remedy ever given to

Other preparations have since been
offered TO the public, some similar in
appearance, some in odor but all
bringing the daring promise of doing
the same things that Herpieide has
been doing for years.

one more instance of vicious emulation,
vile imitation or a base attempt at

That New York for the next two
years at least will have the most
powerful political car which this
state, or any state in the nation has
ever known, is one of the most
significant facts on which insiders in
politics are commenting. now that the
smoke of the general battle of cleo
ton is clearing away. From any
point of view it now seems certain
that Charles +. Murphy, the Tam

leader. will exercise power far
greater than any Tammany leader
has ever known, great as many of
these have been. As a result Of the
mighty patronage. city, state and ma

the Tamnany machine in 1888, out

Doctors of Public Health.

| Doctors OF Public Health.
/ I'VE need more doctors of publ,
health than mere doctors of medicine,
says DR.. f. b. Dresslar in bulletin
| THE duty of the State in Medical In
spection of Schools just issued by
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton. DIR. Dresslar pleads earnestly fol
the kind of medical inspection that
seeks to promote health rather thar
| that which hunts for ill-health. "Om
system of paying doctors to do some
thing for us when we are sick ought
to be largely discarded for the Chinese
system of paying them to keep US from
getting sick
Dr. Dresslar justifies the states in
PREVENTION in the health of its citizens
ON broad grounds of public policy. He
feels that the community has as much
right to demand good health in it's
children as it has to demand that they
attend school; as much right to pre-
serve the community against the con-
tagion of disease and bodily neglect as
against the contagion of ignorance.
The chief asset of any state is physical
stamina, guided by wholesome, moral
ideals. and broadminded intellectual
power. and DR.. Dresslar contends med
zeal inspection and health supervision
are indispensable agencies for conser-
wing this asset.
In answer to the question: Has
medical inspection as now organized
proved useful?" DR.. Dresslar shows
concIusively that medical inspection
has called attention in startling way
to the danger of school conditions in
transmitting disease; it has already
1essened actual illness and consequent
ly secured better school attendance;
and best of all, medical Inspection in
the hands of carefully trained men
wth Eessfight spirit has proved to be
an EDUCATIONAL agent of great value,
by Stimulating parents to give more
attention to food. clothing, sleeping
rooms and general home sanitation,
and by disseminating better ideals of
hygienie living.
1t is in this increased knowledge by
the people as a whole concerning the
personal care of health that DR.. Dress
lar finds the greatest ultimate good of
medical inspection. He notes that
great numbers of our people are still
in gross ignorance and superstition re-
garding health and disease, since
many of them constantly attribute to
divine Providence deaths from dis
eases directly due to filth Our chief
duty lies in removing the causes
which contribute to physical unsoand-
ness and disease. As long as we herd
our children in schools where they
must breathe impure air, bend over
insanitary school desks, work at books
when they need physical exercise, just
so long snail we be paying lof our own
errors.'
DR.. Dresslar concludes that we need
health officers whose chief delight is in
finding and developing beautiful cases
of physical perfection rather than in
finding some obscure and rare dis
ease: health officers whose philosophy
is based on the gospel of physical
vigor. on the sanctity of personal pu-
rity and the godliness of clean-living;
doctors of health" in very truth, who
will be concerned with exhibiting, not
long list of the physically defective
and diseased. but large list of heal
thy, well developed children.
