As we have reached an era in life when the fear of disease is intense and the most contaglous and most acute dlseases are dally exploited by the| press, it ds not strange that Governor | | Lilley was impressed to call the at- tention of the people to the cruel re- gults of theso agitations and of our bllgation to a special class of inva- | 1ids. The Bulletin fully endorses the | statement made by Governor Lilley when he said: “As a matter of fact, all that we| have done, heretofore, we have done from the most seifish of motives, that | of gelf-preservation. But there is an- | other side to the question, Because | of our work, because of our incessant | sheuting about the contagiousness of | the disease, the poor comsumptive of Comnecticut 1s dropped from the pay roll #n effice or factory months before | i earning capacity ceases, and be- | cause of our work he receives every year I not less of love, at least less | of that afiectionate, tender attention that he cxpected i his last sad days. “Se forbid his Wife to kiss him. We | warn his ohildren to saveld him. We put him on public record danger t0 the eommunmity. We shrink from him in public places and gathekings. | Wa advise hotels, hospitals, sanatoris, | and boarding heuses to refuse him ad- | mission. ‘We make an outcast of him *In simple justice we owe him a Plage of refuge, We owe him a place of refuge whether we get our mone baek or pot. 1f he were a oat or a dog we weuld kil him. But he s our brother—our sick brother. To preserve ouP peif-respect we must glve him 3 place of refuge. That the will grow up in Connecticut coming years may not grow up utterly selfish and hard of heart, we must let | thilf campalgn against tuberculosis go | no further until we have provided & refuge for the poor consumptive whom we have made an outeast.” Why are we alarming people about disease instead of teaching them the | fe which are the laws of | Our obligations fre clear to us mow with reference to those our methods have made pariahs, or out- casts, but why are we not obligated to one another to keep God's earth | clean and the atmosphere pure and ourselves temperate? Bvil and most of the diseases of 1ife are traceable direct to ignorence and intemperance its manifold forms. What the poople need Is wholesome In- | struction In health rules mot the exci tation of fear through the presentatior of the danger of contaglous diseases, many of which are preventable fust by cleanliness—a thing declared by every standard doctor's book In print. The day 1s dawning when our meth_ odls with reference to disease will be reversed, and the art of keeping well wil] be so firmly installed that the | fear of Yeing sick will be abolished, | Those |we have wronged by our | methods, ghould be given the succor | which Is asked for them. | WHAT IS THE MATTER? What is the matter with city gov- ernments? From one end of the country to the | other new charters and new methods | are being tried, but as yet thers have | been no startling or very commend: ble results whether the experiment is | government by commission after tho | Galveston plan, goveriment by an in- | creased body of elective officers after the plan of Newburyport, Mass, or with the operative referendum or re call to put an obnoxious or effelent public official out of office after the plan of Los Angeles, Cal. | Bverywhere the old rut is easler to | follow with all its Incongruities than | it 1s to take ‘the initiative and veall do somethipg mew on business prin ples, rather than to stand and meas- | ure the effect of everything by polit- | ical policy. Over in Newport, R. 1, the commit- tee of twenty-five, which was expect- 2d to revolutionize things to make & twaentieth-century d ndard, are now being charged by The News of that eity with not rea g that municipal there s on trial before forerament he whole country and informed ti *riendships should not stand in the 8¢ needed economies, that the pub business should. be done in a bu Dess-like way, that the city of New- port should be made “a model of econ- ymy and efficiency as iness in- stitutton managed in the interests of the people!” This is the right kind of talk; it is the talk of the citizens n office most everywhére and the thing not being done by politicians in of- fice anywhere, Newburyport's new city charter pro- vides for an increase of the city fa- thers to 144, and it is a little busy New England city like Norwich, and doesn’t need such a change any more than the groundhog needs a summer and a winter abode. What can 144 officials accomplish that ten or twen- ty offielals could not? They can wran- gle more, they can scara up more ob- structionists, they are very likely to dally Jonger and to accomplish less than the lesrer number. Good clty government, points out | The News of that city, is not in num- bers, but in capability and honesty. | The city government which is made up of able men who do things right and conscientiously will be a good, economical and progressive govern- ment whether a commission of ten men direct affairs or a council and | board of aldermen composed of thirty. There ia nothing to numbers or | form, there is everything in the force | and character of the men choscn to | govern. When 1t comes to President Roose- velt, & right smart cheer and tiger | from the crew of a battleship made | him confess that he lacked reciprocal power; but he got right into the hearts of the men and officers by this admis. | sion and good naturs. | | ‘When Dr. Lorimer said that to send & bright boy to college wae to make | & bright man of him, while to send a | fool thero was to make a greater fool, | 45 Just vearning to gtay home and | he hitl the bull's-eye. i The Massachusetts telephone kiss is riot always the simon-pure articls, for the wires get crossed, you know, John Mitchell, the greatest. labor leader of the present time, does noth- ing foolish—he makes fame In his work, not notorlety. & He says that if the edict of Judge Wright stands, he is going te jail and serve out his sentence. There s defy in this man of the peeple; wlill abide by the law whether it is good or bad, Golng to jail would not make a orim- inal of John Mitchell any move than a.prison could put a mark of degra- dation tpon Paul or GaMleo, or Bun- van or Milton, or any other of the noble men who have suffered for their knowledge and manliness or for thelr mistakes, This country does not want to ses John Mitchell go to jail. It dossn't need to have men like him in jall, but it needs a great many more of them out of jafl—a great many mors stand- ing against the oppression of the pea- ple. The Bulletin hopes that John Mitch- ¢ll will not have to go to jall—that a way will be found to save a man of such excellent character and nota- ble example. if he thinks he is right he can only tand for it in conselence, and he can win only respect for his willingness to suffer that others may have larger liberty or larger opportunities in life. THE PRICE OF ICE. Che rapidly increasing and tremen- dous demand for ic says the New Haven Palladium, “makes it almost necessary towards keeping down the price when nature falls to provide the normal crop which might be possole if the matter were given a thorough and sci- | . cx'(mc study. It might be possible to reduce the cost of manufacturing e that it would take the place of the natural crop and be offered con- umers at a price more within the each of the modest pocketbook than that which is asked for the natural commodity in failing seasons. It would be a great hardship upon every class of people to be compelled to have re- ed in the ice situation such price uations as have taken place in the al traffic, It is something to be volded and something worthy of careful study.” This 1s a popular tople which ap- peals to the people, but the price of e does not fluctuate as much as the price of beet or of grain, and a thou- and and one other things. Hasn't lce cream been ten cents a plate for half a century? The ice barons have never ot knocked ice cream from its pedes- tal, although it must be admitted that they have at times seriously affected the size of the dab of cream brought on the plate. When ice gathering is cheap and the crop large the icemen have to make up their past losses; and when 1t is dear they have to figure to keep thelr customers and the cus- tomers all have to figure to get along | with half the usual amount of ice. It i not easy to tell who has the worst | side of the ice problem—the men who sell or those who buy. THE BUTTON BECOMING CLASSIC The idea of having Yale buttons for Yale men seems likely to be carried out and to be well guarded egalnst infringements by some who are not true blue. It is a matter in which ollege men themselves would observe he proprieties, without any particular restraint being enforced. The size of or the choice of a college color has never dictated college loy- alty, nor will a college button. Would o Yale man wear a Harvard badge? No, Nor would a Harvard man mas- querade with & Yale button, And the same neiple holds true among the other colleges, to own. The would come from the sonia Sentinel. But these infringements may be guarded against by law. The stats of Vermont has a law which makes an impostor of any citizen who shall wea: the Grand Army button or the symbol of any ecivic assoclation, for a deceptive purpose, and as a check to such dishonesty and false pretence a fine of fifty dollars is the lmit, Of , there will be infringements by and negligence of the button by those who are entitled to wear it, but who do not care for this special kind of distinction, not because it isn't Each is loy- infringements outsider.—An- honorable but because these identify- ing signs always have their draw- backs. If Yale men want to wear an identifying badge there is nothing to be sald against it; and the Yale badge and every other society badge should be given the protection of law, EDITORIAL NOTES.

THE RULE OF TAXATION As Disclosed to the Providence Eve- ning Tribune. For the real estate holders there is no escape under the elaborate, minute and carefully systematized system of inquisition which has been developed in the tax department for collecting, tabulating and applying knowledge re- garding this particular class of taxa- ble property. It is property that can- | t be kept from the eyes of the as- gessors, and the assessors are not lendent’ In assessing it. They caunot be lenient in the case of real estate because the fact that they discover so small a pgrtion of personal property makes it absolutely necessary, in order to raise anywhere near the amount of money that is ex- p’led of them, that in the case of Ch property as they do discover they ghall show no mercy. Tax the property you can see to the limit In order to make up for the revenue you do not get from property | that escapes taxation because you can- not so readily ses it. That seems to be the rule. And here are some examples: There is a house and lot in & good residence district on the Kast Side which cost $7.000 nins The rather —-~ars ago. house has been deteriorating rapidly because The property Is and it has been in vain at $6.500, $6.800. There s another plece of residence property in that same put of the gity which was bought m years ago and has nor since assessed $16,000. Sold too cheap. Fou say?

"Il chip in doble for anyore that ain't willlng to glve,” with a glance at Miss Spinks. “Of course we're lfl going to chip in on Gladys' pfalan( interposed Miss ‘Weinberger, soothingly. *“Then we can all go out and take it to her and find out whether lhey’re going to house- Xkeep, and where she was married, and it theyre Taln: to have a house or a flat, and all. chimed in Miss Riordan. “We'll heve to walt till tomorrow to decide what we're going to give her thongh.
