Historians who may some day need to know how the national capital progressed toward the close of the nineteenth century -its requirements and its possessions—will find the material easy of access and con- veniently arranged in the reports submitted to the annual meeting of the Board of ‘Trade. Ever since the organization of the board, the reports have been comprehen- ‘sive and accurate, and those which were read at the meeting Monday evening and printed in The Star Tuesday were equal in exhaustiveness and in point of value to ‘any of their predecessors. While a great deal has been accomplished toward the tm- provement of the city and its establishment as a business center there are still many needs, attention to which was directed in the various reports presented Monday night. Among these most pressing require- “ments of Washington may be enumerated @ new municipal building, a hospital for contagious diseases, the abolition of grade crossings, a solution of the railroad term- inal problem and the erection of a union passenger depot, the enlargement of the police and fire departments, the reclama- tion of the Eastern Branch flats and the improvement of the Potomac flats as a public park, the establishment of a free public library, the erection of a memoria! bridge across the Potomac between the Long and Aqueduct bridges, the repeal of the personal tax law, the provision of more adequate freight facilities, the extension of the sewer em, the revision of the law in regaré to the practice of medicine, an adequate milk and dairy inspection and an economical and healthful solution of the garbage problem. These and many other subordinate problems still confront the citi- zens of the District. Unquestionably much has been acccmplished through the agency and influence of the Board of Trade, which has been a more than worthy successor to the orgvnizations that formerly represented tm a measure the desires of the people in the District. In the broadest sense this board constitutes the business element of Wash- ington. Composed ag it is of a half a thou- sand representative citizens whose aggre- gate interests in the actual welfare of the District can probably be capitalized at many millions of dollars, it is in a position to accomplish a great deal through the committees of Congress which have direct dealings with the legislation which affects loca] interests. Under the present system of municipal government in the District it is doubtful if any more apprcpriate or effi- cient organization could be effected than the Board of Trade. In the light of pre- vious accomplishments it is reasonabie to hope that the problems that have been above enumerated, which have already oc- cupied the attention of the board to some extent, may be satisfactorily solved. While there may be some temporary disappoint- ment among the friends of good govern- ment because of the failure of the board to take affirmative action on the civil ser- vice resolution it is to be believed that the citizens of Washington are decidedly fa- Vorable to the organization and its work. It is probable that the failure of the board -to accord the resolution proper treatment ‘was due more to a misunderstanding of the situation than to any hostility to the principles involved. —_——_—-e+—______ The official count of the votes in the Seventh Kentucky Congressional district reveals a curious state of affairs. In the first place, there is an interesting mathe- matical cvincidence in that the vote of Mr. Owens was 13,067, while that of Denny, his Tepublican opponent, was 13,576—81 less. It will be noted that in each case the num- erals of the vote are the same. But it is in the matter of the independent vote that the most striking fact is developed. The populists cast 262 votes, and—wonder of wonders—the prohibitionists polled no less than 554; and this In Kentucky! But the marvel does not cease even here. In 1592, when Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge was elect- ed by a majority of 7,155 votes over his republican opponent, although 730 votes were cast by the populists, not a single pro- hibitionist ballot dropped into the boxes. Can it be that this is the starting point of the Kentucky prohibitionists? Is it possi- ble that the famous trial has caused such a great change of heart among the voters of the Ashland district? But the fact that the Prohibitionists held the balance of power in the election this year is also apparent. This is getting serious. When Kentucky is to be swayed by the votes of the teeto- talers a revolution may be looked for. OE RES SRS There were forty-five men at work on the city post-office building today. Forty-five men who know their respective lines of business real well should, according to The Star's extremely liberal estimate, complete the building by September 14, 1808. Judged by what has been done the structure is not likely to be finished before August 17, 1906. It is two years, eight months and twenty- six days since the work was begun. —- 0 This country has no hesitation in admit- ‘ting that it admires Germany’s salt a great ‘deal more than it does the emperor's fresh- ed Science makes advances In peculiar ways. It is both fertunate and unfortunate that many of the most important steps ahead have been taken through the sacrifice of gome useful existence. Noble men have eften risked their lives that good might come from the contact with death. Much was done towards the discovery of chloro- form in this manner. Now comes the tid- ‘ings that Dr. J. M. Byron, one of the lead- ing bacteriologists of New York, who was prominent durjng the cholera scare two years ago, and who Is director of the bac- teriological laboratory at the University Medical College, in New York, has become dmfected with the seeds of consumption through his experiments with the bacteria ef tuberculosis. Dr. Byron is advanced in this branch of science, and has had inti- mate association with the germs of con- sumption through the microscope. He at- tributes his disease to the carelessness that usually comes to men who handle danger- ous elements. It has long been known that the bacterium of tuberculosis is with- eut any infectious power while it is wet, and that !t ig only dangerous when allowed to dry. Then, in the form of dust, it ts in- haled and thus finds lodgment in the lungs. ‘his sad accident confirms the suspicion of «medical authorities that in dryness lies the qreatest danger. Dr. T. M. Prudden has @fready written a note of warning to the maunicipal authorities to ensure a perfect wprinkling of streets before they are swept. ‘The affliction of Dr. Byron makes this wpecessity emphatic. Dr. Byron’s attention ving thus unfortunately been directed to the matter, he has made a special study ‘ef the disease, first in the hope of curing (himself, and then of afding humanity. He ives his conclusions thus: That there is ‘mow no known cure for consumption, but ‘What it is curable is demonstrated by the Met that fo at least 75 ver cent of autopsies performed, without regard to the cause of death, there are fovnd traces of tubercu- losis having existed at one time or another, and of having teen cured by some means not discernible~ Thus it fs to be seen that somewhere in nature is @ remedy for this terrible scourge, which is by far the great- est cause of death. Many have been the efforts to ferret out this great secret, and at times it has been thought that success had come, but today the melancholy an- nouncement of Dr. Byron as to his own case, and, therefore, as to consumption in general, points the fact that has been prac- tically demonstrated before—that the cure for tuberculosis is yet beyond reach. But if Dr. Byron’s premise be true, that nature has a remedy and that ft operates in a large majority of cases, it is but reasonable to believe that eventually the secret will be wrested from her and be given to the world. The marvellous advance of bacterio- logical science during the past decade is such as to encourage the hope that the twentieth century will be very young when the great remedy is at tand. Beside this, the efforts of mechanical science are in- significant. The attainment of human flight is a great goal for the physicist, but the success of the physician in the direction of the discovery of a sure cure for consump- tion is far more to be desired. —__ + «> __—_- At the meeting of the Board of Trade Monday @ening Dr. A. P. Fardon openly and fervently accused himself ef being an- tagonistic to civil service reform; today The Star cheerfully accords Dr. Fardon space to defend himself against his own accusation. The defense seems sincere, and if the charge that brought it forth could only be at once lost sight of would establish Dr. Fardon’s reputation as a reformer of the advanced sort. But the charge persists in remaining where even he who runs may read, and the most impressionable of men will find difficulty in harmonizing the re- formatory remarks of the doctor in today’s Star and his utterances before the Board of Trade. Monday evening he said: “There have been, from time immemorial, certain fads of the American people, and one of them has been, of late years, this matter of civil service reform, not only in this, but in several preceding administrations, of both parties I am opposed to the extension of this idea to the District government. * * * I consider civil service reform the colossal Political humbug of the nineteenth cen- tury.” Today he asserts that his opposi tion is not the reform, but to defective and Insufficient legislation. “Give us,” says he, “a law with honest non-partisan pro- motions and discharges.” That was what the resolution which Dr. Fardon fought had in view. Then says the doctor: “I have no objection, in fact, I am in favor, of @ special law for the District government under the civil service.” The adoption of the resolution which was laid on the table through Dr. Fardon’s. efforts would do much to bring about such a desirable statu- tory condition. In view of the indisputable fact that Dr. Fardon’s statements published today are of later date than those of Monday evening it is reasonable to assume either that Dr. Fardon has been converted to the good cause or that he is the unfortunate abid- ing-place of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde combination. It is sincerely hoped that the conversion theory 1s the correct one. + —__ If a blunder has been made with refer- ence to Japan, there will not be the ckar- itable disposition to divide the responsi- bility wich the State Department that ex- isted on a previous occasion.

Kindhearted. “I can’t understand why she doesn’t take off her hat ir the theater,” said one young womar to another. “She says she’s tou consjderate.
