The meeting of the Reynaud
Boosting Club held at Mount
Airy, the upper end of the sixth
ward, near the home Of Judge
Chenet, on last Sunday afternoon
was grand success in point of
attendance, enthusiasm and vot-
ing qualities. The meeting was

Tuberculosis Day.

This is tuberculosis day in the Dis
trict, and in the public schools teach
ers are giving talks to their pupils on
the dangers of the disease and the
best method of preventing it. Thus
$4,000 children are receiving les
son in self preservation. Many Of
them are too young fully to appre-
ciate the Importance of the safe
guards that science has discovered to
be necessary to prevent the spread
Of this insidious disease. But the
seed that is sown today viii fall gen.
orally upon fertile soil. Some of
these children will become active. ag-
gressive agents for the propagation
of the truth about tuberculosis, carry
ing the word into their homes and
there aiding in the never-ending
work of disease prevention.
tuberculosis is a disease that
thrives on ignorance, and to the ex-
tent that enlightenment as to the
causes and the astnre Of eontsgion
spreads it, ravsges are lessened. The
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-12-10

public schools constitute one OF the
most powerful agencies of cure, be-
cause they are the means OF carry
ing the truth practically to the en-
tire. community. Singularly, it is
necessary to drive home the fact that
tuberculosis is a communicated dis
ease, and that its communication IS
the result not of ungovernabie
chance, but of the lapses OF lndl-
viduals, must be demonstrated over
and over again in order to make an
impression.
1t is possible to exterminate tu-
berculosis, just as other diseases have
been brought under control and al
most eliminated. Let this truth once
be fully demonstrated, and there VIII
be constantly increasing progress
toward freedom from this dread
menace. Every child should be made
to realize the vital Importance of the
part that each individual plays in the
work of overcoming the scourge.

strained by strong hand or strong
circumstances, are apt to obey their
natures and improve their opportuni-
ties.
Differences will be inevitable when
the question of finding the money
comes up. In fact, they already exist.
Neither Mr.. Gallinger nor Mr.. Mann
could be induced to accept the Presi-
dents views on that feature of the
program. Politics inheres in the
question of taxation. True, the war
has played havoc with some !ong-es-
tablished theories on that subject,
and made necessary changes of base
by widely known theorists. Fare
well, Piccadilly; goodbye, Leicester
Square"
Still, certain old fundamentals about
direct and indirect taxation remain,
and we shall see them introduced
when the debate begins. Protection
is still lusty cry; and while the cry
for a tariff for revenue only is dimin-
ished in volume, it has not altogether
ceased.
The connection between prepared
ness and taxation is, of course, di-
rect and indissoluble. In order to
have the men and ships we must have
the money, too. The bills must be
paid when presented. But as there
is money in plenty, it would be al
most a crime to permit preparedness
to fail because of a disagreement
about the means Of providing it.

Preparedness Progressing.

Friends OF preparedness report
progress. Mr. Gallinger, minority
leader in the Senate; and Mr.. Mann,
minority leader in the House, have,
by invitation, conferred with the
President, and, while details are lack
ing, assurances of general character
as to an increase in the provisions
for the national defense were ex-
changed. By good management on
the part of the majority in Congress,
which is charged with the initiative,
this should become valuable asset.
In passing, it may be noted as
something very unusual that while
the leader of the Senate minority has
always been an advocate of prepared
ness. the leader OF the majority, Mr..
Kern, is, like the President, recent
convert to-the cause; and that while
the minority leader in the House will
support the President i'll the matter,
the majority leader will oppose him.
Verify, politics, at times, makes
strange bedfellows.
1t is understood that the only con-
dition made by the republican lead
ers was that the business be kept out
of the hands of the party caucus, and
that the President agreed. He will
use his influence with his lieutenants
in Congress to steer the preparedness
measures wide of partisanship.
Encouraging as this is. there are
difficulties yet to be surmounted. The
details when presented may develop
oartisanship. A presidential campaign
approaches, and temptations to play
to the galleries will be numerous.
Trained politicians see politics in
every proposition, and, unless re-

Develop the National Parks !!

Some years ago Uncle Sam woke
up to the fact that he was owner of
some OF the most attractive pieces
of real estate in the world. He pre-
empted a few of these from settle
ment and commercial use, in order to
preserve the natural wonders OF for
est, and mountain, and geyser, and
canon, and from time to time recently
he has been adding to this equipment
in an enterprising spirit until he has
now about 100000 acres of preserves
which include some OF the most glori-
Gus scenery to be found anywhere on
this planet But this process of pre-
emption and preservation has been
in way haphazard, and the result
is that the United States now pos
sesses a wonderful system of four
teen great national parks which are
in large measure inaccessible and I'M
available for public enjoyment.
1t is now proposed that the United
States proceed Systematically and
progressively to develop these parks,
not altering them in any way save
by the addition of roads and trails
and the provision of accommodations
for tourists. At present the parks
fall under the immediate personal di-
rection of the Secretary of the In
terror, one of the busiest officials of
the federal government. They have
been handed by law to him, SO to
speak, from time to time, with no
adequate provision for their admin
istration, and so. somewhat like Top
sy. they have "just growed up"
In the course of an interview print
ed in The Star, Mr.. Enos L. Mills,
who is responsible as perhaps no
other individual for the preservation
of some of the finest bits of Ameri-
can scenery and whose particular
work, the Rocky Mountain National
Park, has only lately been opened to
the public, calls attention to the ur-
gent need of making America ready
to be seen by those who are well dis
posed to seeing America first. 1t is
obvious that a park of $50 square
miles or more, comprising some of
the rockiest region of the continent,
cannot be properly visited without
roads and trails and hotels. What the
government has done in Yellowstone
Park should be done in every other
one of the great reservations, and this
it is proposed to do through syste-
matte appropriations and enactments
under the administration of an In
terror Department bureau of national
parks. The legislation providing for
this organization should be enacted
at the present session, SO that when
from time to time hereafter Con-
gress appropriates for national park
development the agency for the
proper performance of the work will
be available. Compared with the
value to the people of these 100000
acres of unequaled scenic lands the
funds required to put them within
reach will be the merest trife.

Mr.. Kitchin as Leader.

Mr.. Kitchin is doubtless aware Of
the hopes OF the republicans and the
anxieties of some OF his friends based
upon his fine oratorical abilities and
his eager temperament In a con-
gressiona1 leader those qualities are
regarded in some quarters as peril
Gus. Mr.. kitchin has been likened
to the late Roger 9. Mills, who ran
a long and distinguished political
course, serving in both houses OF
Congress, but missed one honor upon
which he had set his whole heart
the speakership OF the House.
The story OF the one disappolnt-
ment is interesting. Having been
chairman of ways and means in the
Fiftieth House. Mr.. Mills, when the
democrats came back in the Fifty
second, offered for the speakership.
He had full parliamentary qualilca
tons for the post, and personally was
most highly. esteemed.
But he was quick on trigger both
in the matter of tongue and of tenn
per. For this reason his candidacy
for the speakership was hampered.
Many men who admired him remen-
bered that when leader of the House
he had been both fluent and peppery,
and now and then under the we'll
calculated spur of Thomas B. Reed,
leader of the minority, had said more
than intended and in a manner preju-
dicial to his case. Hence the argu-
ment that in the Speakers chair he
would again be baited by his old OPP
ponent, Reed, from the floor, and
might now and then be placed at
disadvantage.
1t was that argument which gave
Charles F. Crisp his chance. He had
no oratorical gift, and was one of the
most serene of men even in the most
trying circumstances. The very
height of the turmoil in the Fifty
first Congress, when Speaker Reed
was revising House procedure, had
failed to shake Mr.. Crisp's admirable
poise, although he had been promi-
nent in the protests from the demo-
cratic side of the chamber. So he
was chosen Speaker over Mr.. Mills,
and filed the Office excellent1y.
As forewarned is forearmed. Mr..
Ktchin may disappoint both his OPP
ponen.s and his anxious friends. But
he will confront, as Mr.. Mills did
when leader, watchful and capable
man, who knows his business and
never tires of attending to it. Mr..
Mann wastes neither time nor words.
Unbeatable and unstampedable
good judge of men and of congress
sional proposition and opportunity;
on the job, from the raising of the
gayel even unto the bringing down
of the same by the occupant of the
chair, he is a member to be reckoned
with by everybody, and particularly
by the one who plays opposite him
in the game. He and Mr.. Kitch;n
should give the galleries full reward
for their attendance. Not that they
are players to the galleries, but that
everybody in hearing is bound to be
instructed and entertained when thew
are in action as leaders.
