TEXAS REFUSES TO TREAT
TUBERCULOSIS SUFFERERS
WHO FLOCK TO STATE

Texas, is not anxious to entertain suf-
ferers from tuberculosis. and is adver-
tising the fact. The Governor Of Texas
has SO advised the Commissioners by
bulletin and letter. and has asked them
to tell the people.
He wants everybody outside Of Texas
to know that free hospitals in the
Southwest are there for citizens Of the
Southwest: and that because one 10 a
penniless stranger and comes to Texas to
recover from tuberculosis is no reason
why special charitable associations
should be organized IN his behalf, and
finally that the patience Of all Texans
has been exhausted by appeals from
INDECENT pilgrims afiiicted with the dis
ease.

PRESIDENTIAL PENSIONS,

MIR. Carnegie's proposal to pen
sion ex-Presidents has met very gen
eral disapproval in the public com
ment SO far elected. There is some
thing repugnant to public sensibili-
ties in the thought that the head of
the nation should ever look forward
to becoming the recipient OF private
bounty
But Mr.. Carnegie stipulated that
the pension he offers shall cease when
the government provides for the flu
ture Of it's ex-Presidents. In this
light his bounty seems attended to
stir the government to sense Of
It's duty to it's retired CT ief magis-

The New York World, discussing

the matter, says: Some day it will
be regarded as no less improper for
an ex-President; to- accept compen-
sation from private employer than
to accept a pension from private
philanthropists The two sources of
income stand on the same line"
That depends q good deal on the ma
ture of the employment. Benjamin
Harrison, for example, had been a
good lawyer, in full practice, before
he became President. AS ex-Presi-
dent he continued his practice, and
no one supposed that he was en-
ployed for any reason except his le-
gal ability. He, anyway, gave value
received for the money he earned.
1t may be different where an ex-
President draws a large salary as
contributing editor" or is paid by
the line at an enormous price for
writing accounts of his hunting adj
ventures for a magazine. The World
further says in this regard:
Any man who employs an ex-
President Of the United States is at
the same time employing the honor
and fame and prestige of the Presi-
Dental office, and these properly be-
long to the people sthems elves. No
individual should be allowed to
capitalize the reputation of a Presi-
dent for his own profit, and no
President, after he leaves the White
House, should be left in a position
in which he is obliged to seek pri-
vate employment.
A pension of $4,000 a year is an
insignificant trifie to the govern
ment Of the United States, and in
stead Of detracting from the dignity
of the Office the dignity would be in
creased by the fact that every man
who became President would remain
for the rest of his life q servant of
the American people. We should
only be doing for the President what
we do for the Justices of the SUI
preme Court.
1t would be we'll if the proposed
constitutional amendment that linn
it's Presidents to one term of six
years were passed and the retiring
President provided with an adequate
pension Nashville (Tenn.) Banner.

ECONOMY "THEORlsTs.o

u
III telling the common, garden
- variety OF folk how to live
on six cents a day, and save money.
These articles tell how to reduce
the cost of everything: nuts are to
take the place of meat: cheap vegeta-
bles are shown to contain more
carbohydrates or whatever it is
the food sharps tell us the thing is
that we need to build muscle and
bone on-and most Of us read the
articles, but keep on buying chuck
steak and pounding it with a ham
mer until it is cheWable-and buy
the vegetables we like best with
what money there is left.
The club which these economy
theorists use to scare us with, is a
penniless old age: they cite to us
the story of the ant and the cricket
and tell us unless we ''save" we
will, like the cricket, be compelled
to accept the charity of others.
Banking on the future is as I'M
certain as betting on poker game
and just as unsatisfactory
There is a false economy which
starves the mind and the body, in
order to provide for an old age
which may not materialize.
A man and his wife, living in Kan
sas, are gleefully cited by an econo-
my theorist as a brilliant example of
how to "save'-mOney. Of course.
grocery bill, including everything
they eat, averages SIG q month. In
the summer they have their own gar
den. They watch for the grocery
sales, do not run bills, and do not
buy things when they are out of sea-
son. They have plenty Of good, sub
stantiaI food to eat. Their clothes
amount to 500 a year, or $3.50
month for the two of them. They
dress neatly and respectfully on that
amount. They buy things when they
are on special sale whenever they
can.
"That leaves 1882 a year, or
$23 SO q month, for household ex-
penses. Rent is SO a month. So
$3.50 a month goes for car fares,
newspapers, stamps, collars, laun-
dry. gas bills, doctor bills and other
incidentals. It takes close figuring,
but this family does it, and there
are occasional shows, too, as well as
church dues. They keep an itemized
account and balance their accounts
at the end Of every month. In four
years this man and his wife have
saved $144, and they are regularly
adding So a month to that sum-
Can you imagine anything more
certain to give one nervous proetra-
ton than to try to live up to a
schedule like that?
We are told they "watch for the
grocery sales. Suppose they were
out Of butter, and bought a pound
of it, paying forty cents, and read in
the papers the next day of "a grocery
sale" where butter was marked
down to thirty-eight cents.
Don't you know that two cents
would haunt that couple until the
last scrap of that butter was eaten?
and the chances are it would be very
sparingIy eaten, at that.
And their clothing; it's easy to
realize the man as wearing q bob

a last years hat, when "the styles"

and trousers as full as a Turks.

black dresses and black hats-be-
cause they wear better and are not
so conspicuous" Also they will be

as, the articles states, saved $144 in
four years, haven't they lost ten
times that amount each year, in the
JOY Of living?
Evidently there are no children,
and that means a lonely, loveless
old age.
Wouldn't it pay that man better
to develop his talents along a line
that would bring him in more than
$50 per month? If he is such
genius at getting the cost of living
down to the cheese-paring proper
ton he has succeeded in doing, he
certainly should have the ability to
demand more than the wage he is
getting.
After reading this economy word
fest, it was refreshing to see little
incident whoch proved that, when
God made man, He used several
varieties Of woulds for the brain and
heart part.
In a big dry goods store a-man
was waiting for sales-wo1nan; the
man was big, clear-eyed American;
his hands looked as though he could
pound pig-iron with them; his face
was dirty; his overalls were torn in
places-but he was looking at silk
petticoats.
The sales woman, bless her, was as
interested as Il was: he wanted a
green silk petticoat, because "She"
had seen one in the window that
she liked when they walked past last
Sunday.
And the sales-woman got out
several shades of green, and the one
he bought was the brightest product
of the dye-pot. He felt of it, turned
back the ruffle, "swished'' it up and
down, and finally said: ''Iu take
it,
wished I had the trunk of the
Flying Soldier and could have fol-
lowed that man home. Don't you
know She was the happiest little
woman when she had that green silk
petticoat tossed into her lap?
And she missed the best part Of
it-she may never know how he
rushed to the dry goods shop as soon
as he received his envelope" be-
fore he had washed his face or
changed his clothes. | suppose he
thought there was only one green
silk petticoat in the whole shop, and
it would be gone before he got
there.
If you were going to place a bet
which couple would you put it on?
Which couple do you think stands
the best chance for happiness and
future Drosperity-the grubbers
who are depriving themselves of
everything to ''saVe"-or the happy,
affectionate ones who are taking
care Of the Joy of today-while
keeping a. weather eye on the flu
ture?
Isn't there an economy which is
no economy at all-which spends to-
day the strength and the nerve-force
which belongs to the future?
Just when it begins to look as
though the Balkan war-dogs will be
tied up good and tight, comes news
of another outbreak in Mexico.
Savannah (Ga.) is getting right
