' -; 4 12 Post Building. 'j Wanhlndon. Sept. 10. The health authorities of the Dis trict of Columbia seem quite much m ; frA . tha ai-tlon of the State board t K..ith f North Carolina in re- epect to the leper. Early, and the opinion of the Assistant Attorney General of North CaroUna does not with favor at all among- the .a-th Afficlala at this end of the line. Th. tine health officer. Mr. McLean, haa been maklnr remarks for the newaDanera In reply to the opinion by Assistant Attorney General Clem - xtr Urlm aava: 'The Assistant Attorney General of North Carolina says the state ia noi required to aupport Its sick who are without the boundi of the State, nor la it the duty of the State to send I or . . ... 1 and receive ita ciusens in inn dww. ' nnr to auDoort and car for them. He considers It the duty of the United States government to quarantine. up port, and cara for Mr. Early Just as the State of North Carolina should do lo any citiaen of another State rouna Buffering with leprosy within its bord ers, and then emphasizes the state ment that Early was a leper when he was discharged from the United States service, and therefore, the unitea fttates government, from a moral standpoint, should continue to care for him. . "1 rerret that he has overlooked or ignored a most Important factor In connection with this rase, and that is . i r that o matter wnen or mnnc jm . Early contracted the disease it devel oped at his home town In North Car- elina. over one year ago, and that during that enure penoa nc nas oorne Che same visible signs of the malady that ne did wnen ne reacnea m ju risdiction on the 14th ultimo, and does to-day. and this being an lncon- , Irovertlble fact. I am at a loss to un derstand why the North Carolina au thorities or the local physicians neg lected or failed to make the discov ery at any time during the past fif teen months that Mr. Early was suf fering with that dlsoase. when we were able to do so within a few days ftM ho T-nrnrA tha rtlntrlrt Of Co lumbia. Had.it been so discovered he would then, or at least should have been, quarantined and cared for with in the borders of that State, and he would not have then become a ward of the District of Columbia. OBLIGATION TOWARD DISTRICT. "The Assistant Attorney General certainly overlooks the duty his mate owes toward the District government from a moral standpoint for letting Its citizen, a leper, become a menace and expense to us. I have no opinion to express as to the Federal govern ment's duties In the premises. It will, Jk W.I...... m . V. a 1m. a. r. . u L . The statement of the Assistant Attorney General that It would be almost Impossible to have Mr. Early transported, as no common carrier would knowingly carry him,' is at most but an expression of his person al belief. I am glad to see that even the president of tne board of health of North Carolina does not share his views respecting the quarantine of Mrs. Early and her child, should they return to their home. I think, how ever, that the doctor is asking us to do what should be done In his own Jurisdiction when he suggests that Mrs. Early and her child be subjected try as to a microscopical test diagno sis to see if In them the leprous bacil lus Is present. What if It did show the presence of the bacillus? Then, I presume, we would be told that It was our duty to keep Mrs. Early and her child also." - WILL COST 11.500 A TEAR. . The health officers have placed the wnote matter in tne hands or the le gal advisers of the District commls-' ion and the District commissioners. They will decide what Is to be done. Early wants to stay here, and his wife, with the pension money already re ceived and the money raised by pub lie subscription, has already rented a cottage near the leper's camp. If ar rangements can be made to get him Into the Soldiers' Home, a cottage be ing built for him somewhere within the Soldiers' Home grounds, the mat ter will probably be dropped. But, as Commissioner McFarlane has an nounced, it will cost the District of Columbia something like $3,600 a year to take care of the man, and the IX strict will not consent to do this without a kick. For, be It remember ed, it is the District of Columbia and Slot the Federal tonrnmani ih,l umm the whole thing In charge. The War Department has not taken one step In the matter, and declares that It has ne responsibility in the case.

Remem ber, too, his unreserved confessions, th hfrtrneaa of hla comounctlona. the thoroughness of his attempted renaration. When you weigh his diplomacy, his generalahlp, his king craft, remember he lived three cen turies before ever Rome was founded That serf-possession and confidence in deatinv which enabled David to atand In his lot at Hebron for seven years, without attempting to coup de main or short cut to the throne, i phenomenal, tout characteristic.

Ha meeta the requisition of the Magna Charta of Hebrew liberties. He is of the same race, bone and flesh. He Is no novice. He has already led Israel out and In, and Is thoroughly qualified to shepherd the Deonle. A solemn league and covenant la ratified with all the sanctities of the Mosaic ritual In the presence of the hlrh oriest. and possibly before the ark of the covenant Perchance, under thou wins and feathers or tn cherubim which Insure safety, and make trust reasonable, the king re ceivns his third holy anointing. The king Immediately undertakes a mllltarv enterprise, whkh shall at once duly celebrate his coronation, unify the tribes, and give an admir able aite for a national capital. Like Quebec In Canada.

As Wolff detected the one all but Impracticable path by which the Heights of Abraham could be ap proached, so the practiced eye of TIkivM detects a rullv UD Which a storming band could, by uncommon dexterity and courage, maae an -aanlt. It la done! David lays the foundation of a city bld which the splendors of even imperial Rome fade, as the stars do when the sun rises a city, scene of tha mrfet transcendent events In nu man history, meet type of tne city Celestial. THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. There was a parallel evolution: a king for a nation; a nation ror a kin. Maclaren describes David's evolution finely: "Schooled by suf fering, and In the full maturity of his powers," enriched bV the singularly various experiences of his changeful life, tempered by the swift alterna tions of heat and cold, polished by friction, consolidation by heavy blows, he has been welded Into a fitting Instrument for God's purposes." a By the same hard experience the nation discovered the Indispensable necessity of unity under one capable sovereign. The tribal fragments "floated hither and thither, precisely as the masts and boards of a wrecked ship are cast against each other by the waves." It was the splendid destiny of David to take these fragments and reconstruct a ship of state which could stand the stress of a thousand years a ahlp on the fate of whh. In the holiest sense, hung "Humanity with all Its fears. With all IU hopes of future years." hlle the history of Greece was still mythical, the seeds of liberty were planted In Paleatine. Limitations were Imposed upon monarchy, con serving the people's rights. The Ideal monarch w&a he who shepherded the people. No sovereign had a right to fleece or feed upon his subjects. Governors existed for the governed, and not vice versa. David was an Ideal patriot He lived, suffered, planned, fought,, gov erned all for his country's weaL The aanclty of religion Insures the highest possible stability to the State. David took his oath of office and was anointed before the Lord. The Jebusltea' confidence In the un approachableneas of their mountain aerie is another example of the folly of over-confidence. Let him that thlnketh his position unassailable take heed lest he be overpowered. An astute enemy never falls to find the one vulnerable point, an unguarded watercourse. a We err when we think of the He brew realm as a tiny State. Under David it ranked at once as a mighty monarchy: ranking even with Assyria and Babylon. David grew great. He took his place among the crowned heads. He burit a palace becoming his State. He had a foreign policy Involving conquest and treaty. He eitended his boundaries twenty fold. In the midst of It all, how ever, he devoutly recognized the pres ence and hand of Jehovah.- 'The Lord God of hosts was with him." He perceived- that the Lord had "estab lished him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his eslngdom for his people Israel's sake." eXrond Crop of reaches. Monroe Journal.
