Comparative tuberculosis Rates.


While the tuberculosis death rate
is falling rapidly in every civilized
country, due largely to vigorous
campaigns against tuberculosis, re-
cent tigares given out by the Inter-
national Congress on tuberculosis at
Rome show that from one-tenth to
one-fourth of the total mortality OF
Europe is caused by this disease.
The approximate number OF deaths
in each million population from
tuberculosis in certain countries are
indicated in the following table.
Russia 900.
Austria-Hungary-3,500.
France-3,0
German, 200
Holland Il 300.
Italy, 500
Scotland 100.
United States Il, 800.
England, 400
The United States death rate Is
for only a little more than one-half
the population or for the registra-
ton area, and is not strictly COM
parable with the others.

likely to receive in this year of po-
ltieal excitement. Its purpose is to
end wars of conquest.
1t authorizes the president to in
struct the delegates Of the United

and the Pan-American conference
to express to them the desire that in
all treaties to be negotiated by the
signatory powers in the future
there be inserted preamble "by
which the powers mutually recog-
nize their national Independence,
territorial integrity and absolute
sovereignty in domestic affairs. and
that they will not seek to increase
their territories by conquest"
Wars of conquest are the most
hateful of all wars Their object
is despotism and robbery. If they
We're eliminated it would not be
long until all war would cease, for
without aggression there could be
no conflict. Nations have few dis
putes that could not be justly set

alive in this age 0stensbly these
ornaments are for defense. Yet u

and conquest there would be no oc-
casion for defense
There is never a conquest thai
does not react on the conqueror. The
nation that deprives another of lib
erty in time loses its own liberty
Its own ideal is shattered and, it is
only a question of time until the
outward manifestation conforms &c
the inward fact.

A friend who had suffered from

the old Scotchman, all prepared to do
so.

been reason for the
creation of a third party. Such par
ty would then have been the only
hope of the progressives and the new
party move would have had spirit and
enthusiasm instead of being marked
with discord and confusion such as
now prevails.
The need of a third party in this
campaign passed away completely
when the progressives under Bryan
dominated the Baltimore convention
and had everything their way. Than
Woodrow Wilson there is no abler or
more sincere reformer in the United
States. His record and his talks show
Linn to be exactly the type of man the
country needs and the people demand
Furthermore Wilson was nominated
under circumstances that were ideal.
He received his nomination squarely
upon his merits as a progressive can
didate and the platform is one which
no real progressive can help approv-
ing
The Wilson candidacy and the Will
son platform are the exact opposite
Of the Taft candidacy and the Taft
platform. The first is progressive and
the latter reactionary. The people
lave a chance to take their choice be-
tween the two and from progressive
standpoint there is no earthly need
OF third party.
This IS why the Bull Moose move
ment is meeting with trouble 1t fills
no genuine need. Ever since Wilson
was nominated the Bull Moose project
has been a selfish affair and not in
spired by men prompted by patriotism
and devotion to principle. Roosevelt
is urged on by an abnormal ambition
