REMEDY FOR CONDITIONS
Senator Thomas S. Martin Be-
lieves if Instructions Are Fol
lowed, Situation Can be.
Handled With Great Ease

Richmond, Va, Feb. 3.-Senator
Martin today sent the following let
ter to the Virginia Anti-Tuberculo-
sis Association in acknowledgment
of copy of report just received by
him:
"In response TO your request that /
give some expression of my views
relative to the report of the Tubercu-
losis commission appointed last year
by his excellency, Governor Henry G.
Stuart, | beg to say, that after going
over the recommendation of the COM
mission l feel that they are sound
and practicable and should commend
themselves to the wise Judgment Of
our legislature. They indicate a deal
of painstaking effort on the part of
the commission and suggest conser-
vatism and reasonableness through
out.
The very high death rate among
the negroes from tuberculosis has
been long recognized by persons at
all familiar with the subject. AS
domestic servants they come in closer
relations with our families, so that
education and control in this direction
is vastly important, to curb the raw
ages of the disease throughout the
State. Prevention should be the
watchword, and this can be best Sc
cured through education of the pub
lie as to the methods and means
whereby the spread of the disease may
be prevented. In the ratio that pre-
ventive methods, or education, is dis
seminated will the increase of tuber-
culosis in the State be found.
tuberculosis involves long period
of suffering, expenee and waste upon
its victims and their relations. In COM
mon wi5h all public spirited citizens,
l feel, of course, the deepest interest
in subject involving, es this does,
security to the health and life of the
people of Virginia. Apart from the
humanitarianism, which in itself is
impelling, in protecting our citizens
from the suffering and misfortunes
incident t tuberculosis there is also
to be considered the economic side
of the question. AS shown by the
report of the commission, TIE wage
loss in. Virginia in 1914 through
deaths from tuberculosis was not far
short of two million dollars, and the
cost for care of these decedents, dur
ing their illness, is placed at mil
lion and half dollars. This eco
nomic loss is quite startling, but when
it is remembered that its cause is
preventable it becomes appalling.
= remedy for the situation in Vir-
ginia is clearly pointed out in the rec
concentrations of the commission,
which plainly outlines the necessary
and essential beginnings in order to
successfully combat the ravages of
this dread disease on the health and
life of SO many of our citizens. ]
certainly hope that the report of the
commission will receive at the hands
of the Legislature that careful con-
sideration to which, 1 feel, it is en-
Titled"

give an account of itself, however,
it would be raised above fourth place.
"What we are proposing now is not
the sudden creation of navy. We
have splendid navy. We are simply
working on a program that will give
the navy i'll five years the same
strength that it otherwise might take
eight years TO give. There is no sud-
den change of plans.
eve are working out American
problems little faster because
American pulses are beating a little
faster, because the world is now in a
whirl because there are incalculable
elements of trouble abroad which we
cannot control. l would be derelict
in my duty if did not tell you that
it is absolutely necessary to carry out
this program now.
"And yet, all the time, l believe we
are merely interpreting the spirit et
America. When we prepare for ma
tional defense we prepare for ma
tional political integrity.
Gas 1 came along the line of rail-
way today, was touched to observe
that on every standard where a flag
could be raised, there fioated the Stars
and Stripes.
"Do not deceive yourself as to where
the colors of that flag came from.
Those lines of red are lines of blood,
nobly and unselfishly shed by men
who loved liberty of their fellow men
more than they loved their own lives
and fortunes. God forbid that we
should have to use the blood of Amer
lea to freshen the color of the flag
but if it should ever be necessary
again to assert the majesty and in
tegrity of those ancient and honor
able principles, that flag will be col
ored once more, and in being colored
will be glorified and purified"

THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE AND
DRY LEGISLATION.
Biz Stone Can. VA !,

'-SSfAS NiNPt s'y Oail 90.
Editor c. V. News: have just re-
ceived your paper, which was pub
lished today and am shocked to see
in its columns that thffleffl fflafflnfIl
in its columns that the anti saloon
league of Virginia has gone on rec
ord as favoring compromise legisla-
tion with the devil as regards the
liquor traffic. use the word devil, be-
cause he is surely the proper defend
an in this case instead of the whiskey
trust. do not condemn the man that
makes the whiskey, or the man who
sells it. Why should we? They have
a legal right. Neither do l condemn
the man who drinks it, starves his
family, whips his wife, shoots down
his fellow man and now stands on the
gallows ready to be executed for his
crime. Is he to blame? l answer with
out the least fear of contradiction,
No! Then who is to blame? / an
sycr in the language of the dcciples,
"Lord is it II" Yes, it is me. 1 feel
like stepping into the shoes of the
man on the gallows, adjusting the
rope around my own neck and spring
ing the trap myself. Why? l am a
sober, law abiding citizen. Why should
| be executed in place of the drunk
ard? All, put the bottle to his
lips, because sent man to the leg
islature who helped to make a law
so his neighbor could manufacture
and sell whiskey to the weaker man
who would shoot down his fellow man.
Yes, am guilty. Is not the stain of
his blood upon my hands?
Is there any good reason for the
manufacture or sale of liquor. Have
any moral or physical benefits ever
been realized from its sale, and has it
not been condemned by leading ply
sicians and surgeons?
Why is it necessary to put it in the
drug stores? Can any fair thinking
man in the State of Virginia find any
good reason why it should not be put
out. If the anti-saloon league can
give any reason for their position at
this time, l certainly would like to
have it, for 1 am looking for excuses
for what 1 have done in the past.
No, sir; I am not praying for the
good Lord to put it into tile hearts of
the men that make it to stop, nor the
man who sells it to quit selling it;
neither the drunkard to stop drinking
it. am very selfish in this. l am
asking God to please forgive me for
giving my support to the representa-
tive in the legislature who voted for a
law to legalize the manufacture and
sale of liquors.
Now, friends lets get rid of the old
sin. Lets not have any more widows,
or orphans of executed drunkards
made so by our voting for such rep
resentatives. We cannot afford to
compromise. We do not want to
compromise. We demonstrated this
fact at the September election, 1914.
We voted for statewide prohibition
and we got it. Now, for the sake of
our own souls, humanity and decen-
cy, let's have it. Let every voter who
voted for statewide prohibition in
1914, wake up and write their rep
resentative, both in the legislature
and senate such strong letters that it
will be impossible for them to do 9TH
erwise than cast their ballots for pro-
hibition.
Yours to this end, M.
