NO SENTIMENT IN THIS FIGHT. In some way the adoption of a "San itary Sunday," as a day set apart for discussion and instruction in respect to tuberculosis, seems to us to rob this most serious matter of a certain earnestness that ought to distinguish a fight in which the entire civilized world is now enlisting. The title and the method are in our view both open to objection. The effort at alliteration at the expense of sense in description, the, inclusion of the churches in the movement, with "special sermons" by ministers, are all matters smacking, if not of the sensational,"of a kind of side-show enterprise out of keeping with the dignity of the campaign which is supposed to be helped ,for ward. ' The ' preacher, it is true, in some sense is physical instructor as well as moral shepherd. His influence may well and properly be directed to ward the building up of clean bodies as well as spirtual minds. But to call upon these men to deliver over their pulpits to the discussion of a subject about which very few of them know anything worth saying seems to us to be both futile and short-sighted. We appreciate to the full the neces sity of dealing with the question of ' tuberculosis . by striking at its root in unhealthful surroundings and neg ligent treatment of patients. Any im petus which State, county or city can give to a movement toward education along this line is not only not objec tionable but obligatory in the . carry ing out of the broadening conception of duty between the govjjrning body . and the citizens.- Funds supplied to such a cause are properly chargeable -against the taxes of the people, for whose benefit they are 'expended. We would not, By a single " word, either minimize the danger of .consumpitfon" or say aught to belittle the work :that Is being entered upon to stamp it out. We are merely doubtful whether or not "Sanitary Sunday" win do any good. along that desirable line.. '. The history of , the , VWite Plague Is written too deep in the life of civil ized man to be treated with any suc cess by a "Day." Doubtless in the dull monotony of country and some city congregations, the unusual will attract some, small increase in church attendance. But of what good will this passing 1 curiosity be productive? What impress will the "Day" make except that another '.'fad" has blown into a community for a spell and blown' out again? "Sanitary Sunday was doubtless well meant, but it looks to us that it was ill-advised. All of us have doubtless watched with some, amusement the progress of civic improvement'; and "clty.beauti ful" clubs, with theirc6hors ; of worn en, enthusiastic in the sense of, a new found importance, peeping into back yards, or planting ;; school.. premises with flowers that are 'never after Wa tered, but remain as Weedy r monu ments to a quickly expiring zeal.; But, in the case of tuberculosis, there, is no ground for amusement, o'f any sort. Its treatment, in the end a matter of edu cation, demands in the' beginning the application of law. It demands, if nec essary, coersive intelligence..'- It must be treated in the science as well as in the name of sanitation. - So far , as is practicable, that sanitation should' be made compulsory; and when you have a law that is enforced, those who find it demanding that they give up a por tion of ' their liberties for the benefit of" their neighbors have in, the law Itself the best, possible instruction as to the reasons underlying its passage, ";Let the fight against Tuberculosis go on ; let men everywhere preach and teach the' reasons ' for its spread, . the methods . for Jts prevention ; . let " the preachers . do in the homes what they can ' do ' there . infinitely better , than they can do in church; but let the pro paganda in the case of consumption be imperilled by no reliance on sent ment, or hurrah from pulpit or else where. In this matter civilization has "enlisted for.the war." It should fight its campaigns along the lines and with the thoroughness-' that distinguish the modern methods of scientific war . fare. . ' ' Notwithstanding Mr. Colers natural inaignauon in the matter of the charges brought against him in New xorK auring bis absence, we . have more interest in what he and his com pany .are going to do Jn North Carolina industrially .than in what he did or ,ow not.do politically. in New,York DANGEROUS. FREAKS. To sit apart and note the assaults forming ' against Congress for the ex. tension to legislation of the "Com merce Clause" of the' Constitution is almost to, believe "that the principle that Congress; has the . power to reg ulate traffic between the States was to the majority, of statesmen a new dis-., . . Vi re covery. Tnecexpenence w w rv in the case of "the Sherman law has shown that such a power is. in fact, almost unlimited, but we see in that discovery no warrant of making either a fad or a plaything of a power,: considered important enough to ne placed in the fundamental law of the and. Indeed, the fact that tbe power was so bestowed ought to carry cau tion instead of the spirit of 'experi ment, in its use.' Yet,', from a score of States and from a hundred faddists. comes the spirit of looking to the gov, ernment to do, through the Com merce Clause", what the States or the cults concerned have, for one or ano ther reason, been' unable to accom plish. The plain end of all of this agi tation is, of course, the vice of nair; splitting construction, the still more marked absorption of power from tne States, and the further strengthening of an already cohesive and powerful Federal Government. If the "Com merce Clause" shall be carried to the strained development, say, ot the Fourteenth Amendment, State Legis- atures will in the next two decades be reduced to a point of practical im potence, when their sole function will be the naming of .the men -who will represent them in the only law-making hndv in the country worthy of the name.. As illustrative of the tendency men tioned, it need only b pointed out that within Jhe last few days conferences have been held looking to the pas sage of laws designed to break up the cotton exchanges by reason of their "interstate" character in the use of the telephone and by incidentally prohibiting newspapers from publish ing market reports, on penalties of being denied the mails. Other con ferences have decided to seek the passage of an act making the so-called white slaves!' articles of "traffic be tween the States" and thus subject to governmental regulation. While, of course, there is forming the mill tant effort which would seek to put a badge on the Government and make it policeman at large to enforce any and all liquor legislation which any State shall see fit to pass However worthy the motive behind these several proposed acts may be, the objection to which all of them are subject is that their impulse is gain ed by a Confession of weakness in the States, i -, They, are, ,;in , thfa, but.Phe straws hnwifc 't'pn'flMifcv tJ1 a tWffor. nalism.iii oiferaih'en whjc wquld j& its final and logical development make the condition of the t "Sovereign States" ..far jiworse than that of the vj diturers. vital and rnec.ssary as; that for tne maintenance yi tneeio.-; n-. ness 6mes to -those whtf go after it, and growth "iavttiose who feel it within . - , --.' ' them to expand. . ' ' Much depends, however, upon the way in which the advertising is done. t is necessary to catch tne public eye, please the public humour, humour tne public fancy. In a day when ev:ery man is chiefly concerned about his own business, he must be in some sense beguiled into considering your business. Information to be swallow ed needs to be enclosed in a pleasant vehicle. iThe meat of the best ad vertising 'is incidental to the- story n which it is contained. This is the day "of 4 the " pijess-ageht ; and nowhere will One find 'a more urgent need or understanding of human iature, of ap, precfation of events ' and calculation of conditions than in the man who successfully- 'holds', down" such a job. The. town that would grow should ad vertise not at random, but expertly. with an expert in charge.. . ;: . ' Previous to "Taft Day' the local committees organized a "press bureau" n charge of Mr. T. W. Clawson. The cost was inconsiderable, 'but the re turn, even' in the minor matter of the people .who came to Wilmington as a result of its activities, paid a dividend of many hundred per cent. In adver- tisinsr' throughout entire country the work of this department was almost beyond monetary estimate. Watching the exchanges from all over the State, and in all parts of the country, we saw and noted the work of the press bureau in newspaper space that could not have been bought with much ; fine gold. ' Under the directing hand and brain of a trained newspaper man, this city and this section were kept foi weeks before the entire country. Nor was there . suggestion, of fraud or im position,, but only that, in the form in which -the information was disseminat ed, the advertisement was wrapped in matter, interesting enough to be of value to the papers that printed It Noting this fact, the Charlotte Chronicle suggests that the bureau ought not to be allowed to stop with the performance of the immediate end for which it was created. We endorse heartily the suggestion. A city no longer stands to itself sufficient; it must make appeal, seek notice, push forward the knowledge of its advant ages. How better could these ends be accomplished than by incorporating a bureau of news information under the charge of a man who knows news when he sees it,, and understands how to make news when there is none to give out? a mometacrirairty pleasing- as ixnk miam n!.tttfeliwjotte':.piS4e-' tor-Wad&Htoy says?Ht:;Ht J;. ;"the Winston-Salem- Journal has made note of the' improvement on the editorial page of The Wilmington Star.

' He is an adept in the, ma nipulation of the English language, he is an entertaining writer, a well-informed man on all subjects and in every way,-, is 'making good,' as the saying goes."; ' . The value of praise is more in the source from which it comes than in the thing It endorses To have pleas ed Wade Harris is to know that, what ever' the world inay say,- the effort- of this paper, professionally speaking. has not so far been in vain.

To have justy lived around the sand-hills, to have just moseyed about the town, bringing, perchance, a bundle of light- wood, or an occasional 'possum in for sale to have been hail-fellow-well-met with all the world, a genial drunkard and the, possessor of a white heart, if a shiftless Habit to have thus from the . gratitude of a well-loved public won the name of Seed-Tick, would have been a succession of mellow days arid happy nights to which a brush with the blood-hounds of the law yould have been an, awakening with a most unseemly night-mare! Of course, W6 do not know "Seed Tick." Our information regarding film " is nil. He may, so far' as we know, be a scaly-legged sand-hill ''nig ger"; or he may be a loose-jointed, tobacco-chewing, hook-wormy profligate of the Piney Woods. We take it, how eterjthat such a name cannot lead us far astray. It tells its story eloquent-ly- lf with vague and uncertain detail. It; stamps the personality 6f its own er with the mark of his community's appropation, so that all the world may read. And the. picture it calls up is none the less appealing for the warts that it shows on a visage that we dare swear to be an amiable type.

' It runs everywhere, he says, throughout the land, laughing and bubbling as it winds its golden way among the sunless homes of the poor. In" short, as Mr. Micawber would say, our old college chum Pierp says, as he said before, that money is no longer "bunched"; it's scattered about everywhere, waiting for those who want it to pick it up. But such sentiments-are habitua with Mr. Morgan. Just about the holiday season of each year, when visions of empty stockings dawn on the children of poverty, he comes out with, the cheerful, assurance . that money is well scattered, ' and within easier reach than it has ever been be fore.
