CITIZENSHIP AND HEALTH.
Responsibility for Public Health
Our Greatest Civic Responsibil
ity.?-Knowledge Opens The
Gates of a Higher Civilization
And Gives Man a Chance To
Become a Better Citizen.
The essential difference be
tween the citizen and the Ravage
is the exprsseion in his daily
routine b" the former of the
principle, "No man liveth unto
himself." This bihlieal axiom
is the basis of civilization, be
eause it expresses a relation that
law defines and controls. It na
turallv follows that the clearer
our mental perception, the more
distinetlv will we recognize the
manv and subtile bonds that un
ite our fortunes or our fates into
a web of weal or woe. Know
ledge (fives acuteness of men
tal vision, and. therefore, it is
knowledge that opens the gates
of a higher civilization and gives
to him who desires the oppor
tunity to become a better citi
zen.
The relation of one mans
nroperty to another's is easiljl
recognized, and is firmly estab
lished upon universally accepted
principles of civil law. The re
lation of one man's life to anoth
er's has only within the last cen
tury been established upop prin-j
ciples of natural law. But as
yet. the knowledge of these na
tural laws has not been widely
enough disseminated to product
sufficient public sentiment t< !
weld them into our statutes.
Man's greatest civic obligation
is to the public health. This
sounds like the exaggeration of
an enthusiast. Nevertheless, it
rests upon those primary and
fundamental principles of law
that for over four thousand years
have been the basis of civiliza
tion. Writ in tables of stone by
the Supreme Judge Himself
these legal principles are so com !
prehensive as to mebrace man's
every possible relation: His re
lation to the Court of Heaven,
his relation to the court of the
home, and his relation to the
court of man. But note, and
note carefully, that the first of
the five rules governing man's
relation to man is the law pro
tecting life. First, not by hap
hazard, but first by Omniscient
design, because it is just as fun
damental to the last four of these
five laws as life is fundamental
to chastity, property, reputation
further, that "Thou shalt not I
kill" carries no provisions lim
iting its application to th>*
5.000 deaths occurring annually!
in the United States through will
ful acts of commission, and ex-,'
eluding the 500,000 deaths annu-i
ally occurring in our own country '
by an act of passive omission.
Every citizen who does not take :
a serious interest in the public (:
neaitn 01 nis or ner community
is a partisan to the criminal de- ['
struction of life. Like Lady Mac- '
beth dipping her bloody hands in)
water, we say, "Out! damned|
spot," but it will not out, for all ]
the real and feigned ignorance '
and indifference into which we
submerge our individual and pub- '
lie consciences.
And now, lastly, how can the
conscious citizen?this does notj.
include everybody?discharge this
obligation? lie can easily in-1
form himself, with a total amount J
of reading of not over ten hours, J
of the principal facts which will
enable one to take an active and '
intelligent part in this work. He J
can be supplied, without cost, '
with this literature by writing the c
Kecretarv of the State Board of 1
Health at Raleigh to place his or
her name on the mailing list for J
ihe monthly Bulletin. He can ,
read articles on this subject ap
pearing in this paper monthly. He
can vote for aldermen, county
commissioners, and legislators
who are informed in regard to
this important problem.?Dr. W. f

The Cost of Rooseveltism.

During the last four years of
Roosevelt. Tat't and My Policies
the total appropriations made by
Congress amounted to $3,736, 029,

Cleveland appropriations, an im
crease of nearly $2.0W),(HHl.(H>0.
During the four years of Clevo
land's second Administration the
total appropriations for the ai
my amounted to $95,397,633.
During the last four years ? f
Roosevelt, Tat't and My Polieits
the total appropriations for the
army amounted to $371.653,280
an average annual appropriation
almost as great as the Cleveland
total. j
During the four years of Cleve
land's second Administration the
total appropriations for the navj
amounted to $100,430,232.
During the last four years oi
Roosevelt, Taft and My Policiei
the total appropriations for tin
navy amounted to $495,471,690
nearly five times the total appro
priations under Cleveland.
During the four years of Cleve
land's second Administration the
total sundry civil appropriations
amounted to$llt>.357,2t)0.
During the last four years oi
Roosevelt, Taft and My Policiei
the total sundry civil appropria
tions amounted to $4:12,412.703.
During the four years of Cleve
land's second Administration the
total river and harbor appropria
tions amounted to $t>7.72!Mt>(>.
During the last four years oi
Roosevelt, Taft and My Policies
the total river and harbor appro
priations amounted to $142..">41,
740. Although Mr. Taft Protest
ed against the wanton extrava
gance of the $52,000,000 river and
harbor appropriation made in th(
last days of the recent session, hf
nevertheless signed the bill.
We have not undertaken tc
work out the whole cost of Roose
veltism, but here is part of it
reduced to dollars and cents, and
it reaches into every pay envel
ope in the country. Senator Aid
rich, the Republican leader of a
Republican Senate, has said that
the affairs of the National Gov
ernment could be run for $300,
000,000 a year less than they are
now costing.
If the American people think
they are not paying for this waste
and extravagance and jingoistic
folly, will they explain who is
paying for it? If they think
these swollen expenditures have
no relation to the increasing cost
of living, then where is this
money coming from? When, in
addition to local and State taxa
tion, Congress is also spending 41
thousand million dollars a year,
somebody has to provide the mon
ey, and we have yet to hear of
1 Carnegie or a Rockefeller en
dowing the Federal Government.
Where only a few years ago we
lad the Billion-Dollar Congress
ive now have the Billion-Dollar
Session and the Two-Billion-Dol
ar Congress. Unless this waste
if public money is checked by.
^allots at the polls, how long be
\>re we shall have the Two-Bil
ion-Dollar Session and the Four
Billion-Dollar Congress?
Here is one issue that comes to
he Democratic party ready-mada
'rom the hands of its opponents.
The inoneyr exactions of no Trust
>f "no monopoly, have equaled the
noney exactions of the United
States Government since the spirit
>f Rooseveltism began to domi
late public expenditures.

Since The Tariff Was Revised.
For nearly one year the coun
rv has been living under the,
?lessings of the Payne-Aldrieh
ariff and there are now in New
England 100,000 cotton mill ope-j
atives out of employment on ac-|
ount of the curtailment of pro
luction hv the mills. The wool
msiness is staenant because the
nills have difficulty in getting |
id of their goods. The iron and.
teel business had a great boom
or a little while, but now for
ome months has been suffering!
i reaction. The Steel Trust is|
rving to hold up prices, but there
ire reports that the independents
rill, as they did a couple of years
go. cut prices to get business
nd then the Trust will have to
ollow. If these things had hap
icned after a Democratic tariff
'f course the Republicans would
lave known exactly what the
ause was. As it is. they are hav
ng great trouble with explana
ions.?Philadelphia Record.
What the Surplus Means.
We learn from a Washington
dispatch that "the Republicans
are preparing to advertise the
surplus in the Treasury as the
best example of the party's
strength."
But the surplus of $11,000,000
does not mean good management
or a reduction of expenses; it
i only means an increase of taxa
tion. Whv should any party be
proud of haviug levied taxes
? enough to meet extravagant ap
i propriationst Of course, the
? country can pay the taxes. It
can pay a great deal more than
: it is paying now, but we never
i heard of any one who enjoyed
i paying taxes. The Federal tax
es are submitted to because they
i are concealed. The taxes are
1 neatly mixed up with the sums
diverted to the beneficiaries of
? the tariff and slipped into the
I prices of goods, domestic and
imported, and the citizen does
not know what he is paying to
: tlie Government, what he is pay
i ing to a protected manufacturer
: or how much he is contributing
to maintain the American |tan
? dard of wages.

s the fact that the Republican par

|enough taxes to meet the cost of

i as a notable achievement or a
. subject of pride.
i The Government has taxed the
' people during the year just elos
i ed about $0(3,500.000 more than
. the previous year, and this is ap
. proximately the difference be
. tween last year's deficit and this
. year's surplus. The customs
[ have yielded about $32,000,000
. more than the year before. There
! was a little increase in internal
revenue. Bv means of a new tax.
, the corporation tax. over $18,
. 000,000 of additional revenue was
; obtained. The expenditures had
| largely exceeded the income. The

Negroes Gaining Property.
The advance of colored men as
property owners In the southern
slates is evidence of progress, no
loss than a guarantee of increasing
lu. al respect for them. In North
Carolina, for example, the total pro
perty listed by negro citizens In 1900
was $:?.47S OOO. and In 1908 It had
Increased to $21.253.000, a gain of
123 per cent. It is not easy to esti
mate the advancement thus repre
sented. The dollar does not repre
sent the man, in any Just point of
view, but the accumulation of proper
ty does tend toward a more substan
tial citizenship. In Virginia the ne
proes had property In 1900 amount
ing to $15,856,000. which incrrtsed to
S25.628.000 in 1908, a gain of 62
per cent; and in Georgia iu 1&00
'hey held property aggregating $14,
US,000, and in 1908 the total was
$27,042,000 a fcain of 91 per ci-nt.
Progress of this kind means increas
/ed scif-respect, which iu turn ln
