"It is, of course, the Impression that Ashevllle is one large tubercu losis sanitarium which inspires the dread described," says the Charlotte Observer, referring to fears of people elsewhere about health conditions here. As a matter of demon strated fact, a fairly well regulated tuberculosis sanitarium presents less risk of infection to Its attendants and neighbors than would many a place containing the same number of peo pie assembled from ordinary occupa tional' motives alone. . In most dis eases where the causes of Infection r are perfectly understood prevention Is a matter of simple care; a;.J such care can easily be taken, with th re sult named." Ashevllle Is not, of course, "one large tuberculosis sanitarium" but some people think of It that way. "But, even so, Ashevllle is very far from being tuberculosls-nlled. Its ex cess In number of consumptives above the average for cities of its sits is more than offset by possessing s hearth , department as superior to the average city health department as the mountains are higher than the plains There are outsiders who can under ktand why people of wealth and leisure from all over the country should select Ashevllle for a home but who wear that In hotels and boarding houses the visitor will en counter , tuberculosis-infested haunts. These people should know that Ashe vllle, along with many other progrea sive cities, health resorts and other wise, requires the reporting of all known eases of tuberculoids and the fumigation of any room which a tu berculosis sufferer may have occupied before it can be occupied again. Such an ordinance Is obviously very dlffl cult of complete enforcement, but In health matters Ashevllle' cltiienshlp has become exceptionally Intelligent, the visitor Is subjected to leas sctual risk of contact with th means of In faction la Ashevllle hotels and board ins; houses than in those of the aver age city or town. To some extent tubercle bacilli are almost omnipres ent, anyhow: and the man who spends much time la Pullman sleeping cars hygienic abominations or as a tran slent In hotels necessarily lives with them a good deal. Usually people of average health can resist infection which is not especially virulent, Intl mate or proiongea; omerwise uie nu man race would have become extinct long ago. That many people should shun Ashevllle, the conditions there , being as w have described them, only shows how much more unreasonable on the subject of disease than even total Indifference, uneasy half-Information or misinformation can be. "Considering, further, that Ashe vllle has as pure water supply as there la In the world and looks after all health matters with unusual care. It may safely be pronounced excep tionally free from health risk for not only the resident but also the tempo rary visitor. The really virulent dis eases. Ilk typhoid, are la no city less at home. Asbevtlle's connection with tuberculosis is not as a city which originates more than Its share. We have no Idea that it originate as much. The foolish misapprehensions which The Gasette-News deplores would be wholly ridiculous If they weer not injurious as well as n Just." Our generous-minded contemporary Is also eminently just in its statement of the matter. , Ashevllle does not originate "more than It share" of tuberculosis. It originate but Very little of this dlrwdse, and this was the c.i no long aK, before the Inauguration of si! measures of sanitation; for be reslstm.oe of the average to this piM Is mvch higher In this altl-l-i TA. TubprnsloM is rare amongst A . Seville people. 1 .-s riTA!

"Wit' the Increased appropriations from th taxes." says alias Patton, "we will stl fall behind 1400ft In the support o the charity department this year. A most of the pay patients are taken a a rate which scarcely covers the direr outlay for themselves, tittle of th! sum can be looked for from boar receipts. It must come from the fe' faithful old friends and from the Ho pital Sunday collections. If every oa In the city of Ashevllle gave an aver age of one dollar each It would no only support the hospital but enabl us to build a much needed new an larger one. If every one in Buncomb county gave t5 cents what grea things could be accomplished. Wll everybody remember these facts an on September 10 give for himself an others who may not be able to giv for themselves ? "Let us have at least 12000 on th! one day, set apart In this great work. It will be recalled that a commute appointed to investigate the hospita management recently made a report showing by comparison with a grea number of similar Institutions, th Mission hospital is run on lines of th strictest economy. The constant ef fort Is to make $1 do the work o two an Impossible task, but set as i mark It means the most careful econ .. . i omy. It may be that some people hav been led to suppose that the hospita is in such financial condition that I will not be necessary to make as grea effort on Hospital Sunday as ha beei made in the past. The statemen shows that more money than has beet collected in any prevfous year Is badi; needed. Next Wednesday a meeting of edi tors, representatives of industrial or ganixations, prominent people from al parts of the State, Is to be held li Charlotte to launch formally a BacV Home movement for North Carolina It Is to be pitched on a high plane pure patriotism and enterprise. The railroads of course are Inter ested in it, for It means more bus! nnsa for them; but merchant, manu facturer and farmer are also Inter ested It means more business fot them. ' North Carolina wants more goof citizens, and cannot get another clast of immigrants as good as her owi people, thousands of whom have beet lured from her borders by the promlat of easier fortune elsewhere. All thai is necessary. In many cases. Is Just tc show them evidences of th wonder ful ' era 'of progresslveness that luu set In, to convince them that the da of vast opportunity has downed ir. North Carolina. Ftshermen on th Hudson havi been annoyed for some time by th los of hooks and sinkers. The mys tery was solved when an angler land ed a big catfish. "In Its mouth wa a patent nail clipper with the point that cleans the nails sticking out through its lower' Jaw. , Every tim the fish opened and closed Its moutfc th clipper opened and shut. In thb way it was able to cut lines and makt away with the bait" So that catfish ha already got as far north os tlw Hudson rived? Well, all we've got tc say is he is some traveler. Mr. Bryan says he has had nt thought of abandoning politics fot the ministry or any other calling. expect to make th study and discus sion of public questions my chief bus iness while I live. Other things ar Incidental." There are a number ol timorous statesmen In Mr. Bryaa's party who would be delighted If be would oult politics, for a year or two at least, but from Mr. Bryan's point of view there is just as much neces sity for his participation In party af fairs now as there ever was. There is none or vary little of the Beattl trial that Is fit to print, but th Associated Press dispatches fumi gate it as much as possible. Nobody has ever told whether the judge and Jury In th Beattle trial also chew gum. That certainly was a great an Im pressive showing mad by organised labor today. NEW TOWN PLANNED 'Morris", Between Anlirrllle and Weaverrille Will Be Developed At Once. A new town Is being laid out on the Ashevllle and East Tennessee railroad, four miles from the square, on the Morris farm, Just beyond New Bridge station. The town Is to be called "Morris" and th proposition is being developed by th Southern Land Auction company. A force of mea is now at work lay ing out the streets and getting the property ready for the auction sale of lots which is to take place Monday, September 11. . The company proposes to furnish free tickets to the place of sale and these will be handed te persona Who wlnti to attend, on the morning of the ale. The town Is well located and the topograhy i favorable for the pur pose outlined. ;-; A FATAL MISTAKE :-: I (BY SAVOY ARd) Washlgton, Sept. 4.. The Payne -idri.'h law la to tariff slavery what he Kansas-Nebraska law was to .frlcan slavery, and the veto of the ool bill of the sixty-second congress, to tariff slavery what th Ihred cott decision was to Afrlcaa sis very, t Is the most Indefensible veto that ver came from a president of the inited States, and so far as I know c Is the first and only veto of a tariff 111 in our history. President Tyler p proved a tariff bill to which he rould not havo given his vote had be een a member of either house of ongreas, and President Cleveland re used his signature to a tariff bill that id not meet his Ideal of tariff rerorm. j ut it became a law nevertheless, for be absence of a veto. Th wool bill of th present con- tress was far from receiving the full .pproval of the genuine tariff reform- rs in congress and out of congress t teemed with protection and at east three republican congressmen .ef ended it as a "revision down on -epubllcan lines, and their arguments vera simply Invincible. William II. "aft's heart would have leaped with oy had scneouie a. or tne s-ayne-ildrtch monstrosity been word for rord the Underwood wool bill ' of 11. Therefore, he vetoed th bill e cause It was of democratic origin, hough it was charged, and by many elieved. that Senator Boise Penrose teld In pledge the presidential con cience on the tariff question as col- ateral for the loan of bis Influence .nd his vote for Canadian reel roclty. The most famous stump speech Mr. ?aft has made was that at Winona, dlnn.. In which he condemned Jched ile K of Jthe Payne bill, which im poses a duty of 44 per cent on un nanufactured wools, and an average iuty of 10 per cent on woolens. It axes yarns 181 per cent It taxes ilankets (8 per cent to 111 per cent, rnd the cheaper the blanket the hlgh x the rata of duty. Woolen goods or women's and children' clothing ire taxed from IS per cent to It? ter cent, and the finer the fabric the ess the rate of duty. It taxes carpets rom 60 per cent to 10 per cent., and he poorer the carpet the richer the ax. It taxes worsteds from II to Ml er cent It taxes flannels from ? o 121 per cent It taxes knit goods rom f 1 per cent for the rich to 121 ter cent, for the poor. It taxes ready nade clothing for either sex from IS er cent to II per cent And other trtlcles In like monstrous degree. Well, Mr. Taft assailed that though t was an infamy of hla own party. The bill he vetoed reduced the duty m raw wool from 44 per cent to 21 er cent, and there were correspend ng reductions on the finished pro- luct HI excuse Is that congress did lot know what It was doing, that Its sork was not according to Ounter. tut then th congress which made he Payne-Aldrich law, which he ligned, was just as ignorant and cer tainly It did not operate on Ounter lines. Mr. Taft lays down th rule that It is impossible for anybody to know anything about tkje tariff except i "tariff board,' that he created, that a composed of three standpat repub leans, one Randall democrat, and an QNLY FOUR CANDIDATES FOR VAGINT JUDGESHIP . -, Qaxette-News Bureau, The Hotel Raleigh, Raleigh; Sept 4. Victor' Bryant and -others from Durham appeared before Oov. Kltchin today In advocacy of Howard A. Flu shes to succeed J. Crawford Bligs, who resigned as judge of the K'nth district Another delegation from Ox ford will be hers later to appear for A. A. Hicks. There are only four candidate for the place, th other two being A. Wayland Cook of Orerns boro and Jacob A. Long of Alamance. POLICE COURT Many "Drank" IWore tlw Court To day Where la th liquor Comlug Froea? Tt seemed Ilk old time In pollc court this morning. There was an un usual number of "drunks" and "drunks and disorderlies on the docket, that Is, considering the fact that the search and selsure law Is In effect and It has been generally con sidered that It has worked to th cur tailment of the offense. There were ten defendants charged w'th being drunk and drunk and disorderly and in addition to these there were two esses of assault where It Is said that whiskey was th cause. There were also two persons chsrged with selling whiskey but these war not tried. It Is a question where the people get their whiskey. Probably In the majority of cases, where th defend ant will give any satisfactory answer at all. he states that he ordered the whiskey. In numerous cases, too. It Is give, them by "a, friend" and this class Is almost as numerous as the first. If not quite so. Then there Is th "unknown nun," generally a negro, who furnishes whiskey to a great many of those who sppear in police court on the above charge. There are few Instance where the defendant has ever seen this "unknown" before and nearly always he says that he would not know the man who sold him the whiskey If he should see him again. Then there is th small num ber of defendants, who tell where they bought the whiskey for the purpose ut turning up the vendor. ..', - It Is th thre first eliMwes that fur nish the problem to the authorities. Obviously, the search and seizure law cannot prohibit a man from ordering whlnkey In legitimate quantities and it Will be dlf'lriilt to keep "Trlends" from ctving whiskey to other "friends." 1'y the hum token it will be no enny m;it ("r ot find a remller whom the huv. r i has nver -n hefi.re and mm I t. expert who Is a nondescript political ly. The secretary" f this board amuses himself writing ' letters to standpat newspapers in which he seeks ,.o maintain that it Is immoral to assail a protective tariff, ' '..' . Now, that far the fount of wisdom whence congress is admonished to drink deep and learn something about the tariff. - Th real mission of this board Is to do just what It has dons defeat a change of the Payne law. They are on a wild goose Junket somewhre at public expense to And out the dihrnc between the cost of production at home and abroad, some thing that cannot be done at all, and if it were possible to do It at all tt would take years to do it Suppose this board appears in a gTeat woolen manufactory at Leeds and calls for the boas, who greets them. They say, "Mr. Tweeds,' what does It cost you to make u. yard of serge?" Mr. Tweeds would answer in a diplomatic way, "You go to the devil." Would you, who read this, tell somebody for publication the secrets of your busi ness. If you are business man? If you go out proclaiming that from the housetops, how long efore you would make a . progress through a bankrupt court? Now It Is possible that these people that Taft has appointed to get information will .come back chock full of It It Is certain that they will; but there will not be a grain of fact in the bushel of guesses it will con tain. ' - I don't say the "board" will seek to deceive; but what they learn will be misleading, for the manufacturers of England, France, Germany and Hol land are not going to open their books to them or to anybody else, and they can get the Information from nobody hut the manufacturers. President Taft Is a lawyer and has been on the bench. The constitution says that congress shall have power to make tariffs; but here comes Pres ident Tart and says that congress Is incapable of performing Its constitu tional duties, that he has appointed a board to make a tariff, and nobody else Is fit for the job. That Is what his message say and all It says. Why go to the expire of a congress if Ave men of whom the people never heard can be turned into a "board" and make a tariff that congress must accept if the tariff is to be changed at all ? .';. ' As for schedule K of th Payne law. It could noj. carry a single state of the union as against the Under- wooa-iAf oliette measure, faulty as the latter la If It were left to a pop ular vote the Payne law would be defeated 10 to lv It would not carry a slng'e congressional district, la the middle west It would not carry hair a dosea district in the state that were "Slave" lu 1160 and subsequent ly known as th solid south. Including West Virginia, t . Mr. Taft's veto is In more contempt of public opinio than any other pa pee that ,'ever -ewmer from th. White House. He want a scientific tariff. So say w all, and the only scientific tariff possible Is one without a shred of protection except th mildest "In cidental" .1 , STREET PREACHERS SAY BTCIST Are Tried for . Preaching on City Streets Without Permit ' The Case. A case was heard In police court this morning which presented some points of Interest Two street preach, era. Rev. Mr. Yoder and Rev. Mr. Russell, were charged with preaching in the streets without having a per mit from the city authorities. They were adjudged guilty but the case was left open until Wednesday. The in teresting phase of the case cant at th conclusion of th trial, when the preachers practically gave the Judge to understand that If they did not obtain .permits, it was probable that they would continue to preach. It was In evidence that they had been warned not to preach In the streets without a permit and that they returned the next .night and preached without having secured one. Th preachers mad statement In their own behalf. Asked If he were s regularly ordained minister ef the os pel. Mr. Toder replied that he "was ordained by lesus Christ" He also stated that he desire to obey the laws of ths city "so long as they do not conflict with his liberty and In timated that he haa a right to preach on the dry streets under the constitu tion of the United mate. When It was suggested that they might preach In some vacant lot, they said that they have to go where the people are and that they are after - "the loaerlng people." Judge Adams at first said that he would leave th case open, to give the men a chance to get a permit when one of them said that they would try to get the permit tint if they did not secure one It would l for the higher court to decide tKt matter. It was then that Judge Adams ordered that a Judgment of guilty be entered and lert th case open. .. The preachor s(ied that they preached after the i ilavtlon army poeple had concluded their services, that if they were not i-rvsent when the army was holding servii es, only short lervlcee were held, but If they arrived before the Balvatlon wmy services were finished, the srmy services were enrally lengthened, presumably to keep the street preiti i . rs from hav ing thir Inning.
