The sixty-second congress Is open for business and the mill has be gun to grind slowly. It is freely predict ed that the session will be long and tedious,, fought with , agitation and rich inproposals for reforms. , Both parties will play for position and each is going to have a care in the consid eration of measures new and strange. "The popular branch,'; as Speaker Clark puts it, will be in control cf the democrats, a condition that has not existed, except during the recent ex traordinary session, since 1892 eigh " teen.' years ago. They - wil 1 enjoy this distinction and make the most of it. Champ Clark and. Oscar Underwood hare already demonstrated their labil ity to lead and the splen did work' be Xa& last winter will be continued dur lag. the present session.-; President Taft may as. well under stand in the beginning that his veto of' .reform measures at the conclusion of the . ex tra session will not deter the demo cratic House from keeping its pledges with the people now. He may rest as- ..ured that, another opportunity . will begjven him to show the, country Just what kind of measures his excellency considers "necessary and expedient," unless the efforts of house leaders are Blocked by a republican senate. The se nate republicans were able to elect a temporary presiding officer at the beginning of' the session and this, indicates the return of harmony between the regulars and insurgents that was conspicuous by its absence during tlte exciting scenes which char acterized the "call session" f last spring and summer. They were un able to elect a president protem at that time and their success in this one particular, upon the convening of the Sixty-second congress, shows a get iDggther spirit which may mean trou Me for measures proposed by the dem- s. raUc house. So it would seem that r Jere is to be conside rable of agita- on and little actual accomplishment. t 'Dr, if the two houses of congress ndould agree upon progressive meas ures of reform, a stand-pat president is in waiting to block the games as lie did last August He may be count ed upon to veto any measure which is calculated to enhance democratic pros pects' in the approaching contest for - b II ill l-"t 1 1 yt.1' v. in i mm iiMiiiiii rA III rnp . democrats will not be idle, according .to the New York Times, which sug gests:" - . . , There will be more investigations, doubtless, and as the De mocrats of the House are bent on being busy they cannot employ, their time better than in investigating. If nothing scandal ous is uncovered that will at least help to re-assure the. country. If evil and wrong doing ex ist in any de partment of administration or government it ought to be:exposed and corrected,; no amtter: whom ';' it . hurts -TheZ House Democrats have an ambitious program of legislation on the tariff, trusts and other large subjects. . . ; Jt is not great detriment to the"pub Kc in the long run that the important work of national legislation should give way at intervals to a period of discussion and agitation. The, great questions debated thus, go to the peo ple, and are the issues in a Presiden tiar election. The present session- of Congress may be long and the debates go far afield, but they will 'be mainly preparatory and preliminary to "the quadrennial contest which will deter - line the control of the Government for he. succeeding four years." Political lines are likely; to be clos T drawn and the ,numer bus vfights mpending upon great public questions promise interest and amusement to all concerned,; without -regard to political alingments, or probable results,' lM hoped, however, - that all important measures ''wfll.be.''treate4i'upbn-vthelr intrinsic merits and : not on. account of some anticipated political effect. The people have a; right to expect' re-' rora legislation that is safe and sane: A CHANGED CONDITION The people of this country will not stand for such degrees of offensiveness id moving", "pictures a s, have been Imposed upon the public in some sections during recent years. . 7 The public conscience has been touched lately and the band of disapprovarwill hereafter be placed' upon pictures of the baser sort ;In all respectable com munities. ' : Parents are coming to real ize the need for having, acare; 'I and children of tender, years wilt not lon ger be permitted to gaze upon the daz zling canvas covered with rude fig ures, scenes Jof nice, : or drunken de-. bancheries. The, time for action has arrived and the leaven Is at work. It will be remembered that Beulah Binford, the ? notorius woman In the Beattie wife-murder case, was engaged by a manufacturer of moving picture films in New York City. But the po lice authorities of that city even would not stand for the. suggestion and her posing before the camera for the amusement of men and women of low ideals came to naught The pictures were suppressed In New York and elsewhere throughout the country whenever, an attempt to exhibit them was made. The New York censorship of motion pictures is said to be very effective, having attained the reputa tion of suppressing many representa tions of crime and the exclusion of thousands of pictures unfitted for pre sentation before the young There Is no accounting for the ac tion of Georgia democrats. They are as changeable as the equinoctial breezes. Three years ago they elected Joseph M. Brown governor over Hoke Smith, the incumbent, by a decisive majority. Last year Mr. Smith "came back" and beat Governor Brown to a frazle, defeated United States - Sena tor J. M. Terrell and became "cock of the walk" sure enough. He resigned as governor, to become Se nator, and lo and behold "Little Joe," Brown af ter an ignohnious defeat bobs up and captures the governorship again. Out of the 146 counties in Georgia ex-Gov ernor Brown carried eighty-five. The result is considered a slap at Se nator Hoke Smith, only recently the people's idol. They feel that he' broke faith with them. by resigning the, office to which they had elected him for a more lucretive. place and greater honors. ; o : The Transylvania test farm. for sale? It would' seem so from the recent ac tion of the State Board of Agriculture in appointing a committee to ask for bids. This is one of the mast valuable pieces of property of its size in the state. The farm has been paying ex penses and a better locality for. or chard demonstrations cannot be found In North Crclina. We arc not aware oflthe .value of these farms to the De partment, or .the State, but if this one must go then some of the others should be disposed of for the same reason, whatever that is. Business is business. It is not the better policy to send good money on uncertain er rands anywhere. ' The Board may have a valid reason for its surprising action. If it has the people of this section are entitled to the facts in the case. Another case in point is that of Mrs. Gertrude Patterson, who shot her hus band to death in Denver under sensa tional circumstances and was recently acquitted of the charge of murder. Im mediately following her release, came the enterprising moving picture, artist with a Ufelike: reproduction" of the murder scene. But the mayor of Den ver decreed that the show should not be presented in that city and 4t was surpressed there. We think it is to the credit of the authorities of New York and Denver to have been able to nip these attempts to outrage decency iu the bud. There is sufficient mis chief going on in this old world "be hind the scenes" without putting any wicked exhibitions on canvass. H i The postal savings banks continue to multiply. There are, 'already about 5,000 ; branches with deposits aggregat ing something like $12,000,000 Under the rule no person is" alloWed to de posit more than $100 in any one month or $500 in a year. Itis said that con gress will be called upon to remove this restriction so that the usefulness of these institutions may be enlarged. The need for them, in the first place is not yet apparent to many people es peciallyamongst the bankers' But if we ordinary mortals are to be helped by the postal savings banks .there must be some merit in them. - 4 r On Friday of thl3 week dlrectbrs of the Greater Western North Carolina Association will hold a business meet ing in Asheville. It Is expected that each county of the association wil lbe prepared to pledge the amount assess ed to it at that time. The. duty of se curing the.pledges was imposed upon the directors for each county by a vote of ; the convention , held in Heriderson ville on November " 23rd. Just how well they have succeeded Jn , the per formance of this duty ' remains' to be seen. V The State Insurance 1 Commissioner, Hon, James R. Young has issued a spe cial letter to to c a;. orirc allowing the creat . danger from "fire loss and tloss of life through Improperly lnstall ! ed moving picture shows. He thinks J the long pictureVeels for these; shows are exceedingly uuiamsuio ouu every one of these machines should be. placed tn a fire-proof bath. Hia sug gestidn are entitled .to serious consid- eration. '-i" Congressman Martin; W. Littleto a declares that Mr. Bryan "goes off half- cocked' ' Maybe he does some times niost of us are afflicted with this trouble but he preaches orthodox do- mocratic doctrine at all times. The objection to a large proportion pt Mr. Bryan's critics seem to be the lack for political . regularity and a crook, has no right to kick. . Just to think of Organized Labor having waster $184,850.93 in the de fense of the McN&mara brothers who confessed to the charges, of murder and dynmlting preferred against them at Los 'Angeles, Cal. Chief. Counsel Darrow received of this sum $170,000. A greater imposition upon labor was ne vert perpetrated. The total amdunt raised was $194,612.53 which is almost covered by the items of disbursement. Will wonders never cease? Some things were said in the Bap tist State convention last week about newspapers taat carry whiskey adver- tsements. M.ssed the Hustler entire ly. We could fill columns of space with this class of advertising, but . do not feel that it would be doing Justice to the young men who read the paper. It. is legitimate business all right but we prefer less objectionable matter and shall adhere to our old established policy of declining to encourage the liquor traffic in this way. However, we have no quarrel with the many re putable papers that take a .different view of the matter. . : Do not wait until the last minute to make your Christmas purchases. Begin right now.

That fact has long since been accepted by all scien tific experts and special students of this disease. Were that not true, we would have consumption occuring in epidemic form, and where weVnow have one case, we would have 'three or more. ' v For such a condition to exist, would necessitate the presence of the liv ing virulent germ in the air. But re peated efforts have been made by the most painstaking observers to find the germ in the air, and at such places where it would be most apt to occur, but never once has it been found. Physically and bacteriologically it is impossible. To accept such v a , state ment as being true; would bring about much useless anxiety and fear "and would stimulate many to doing things which are not necessary .'nor ' called for. . . - ' f-- Already there is too much tendency on thepart of the paity to assume an unfair attitude toward the consump tive; and it is largely responsible for the great prevalence of the disease. Great effort has been, and still is be ing, made to control this disease, and to lesson the frequence of its, occur rence. But that can only be' brought about by advancing along the path of truth. There is no place for untrue theories in the fight against consump ion, for they will only serve to de; feat the end aimed at As soon as the laity assumes a different attitude toward the consumptive, offering him.. help, sucorc, sympathy, and necessaryj comraasmp, tne sooner win tnat ten- dency to secrecy on the part of the J cony-mptive be abandoned. It is then1 that one oflthe most important aims of the anti-tuberculosis crusade, will have been accomplished. I think that Dr. Brown, and every one else, will, agree with me when I say that it is of the greatest impor tance to discover those who are Miff erers from this disease, before we can ver hope to exert a control over them. If we fight them and drive them about as persons to be avoided and shunned, then they will resort to every means of deception to hide their disea se. But if we receive them properly, offer ing them help, succor and sympathy, they will not attemp. to deceive us; but". will admit their trouble and co operate with us in every possible way for the control of the disease, . both for the protection of others and for their own better chance of recovery So let us not teach erronious theor ies, which can only be productive of conditions which tend . to ; defeat our efforts to control the disease. But let us confine ourselves to the accepted and proven fas, which alone can carry corrects information and; tend to the betterment of health conditions. Teach carefulness . on the part" of the consumptive and the .necessity for it. Teach him how to be careful by toll ing him the things he must doin order to be careful. If he is properly dls positioned, he will need and carry; out our instructions. And if ' he carries out our instructions, give him a. wel-. come hand, encouragement and com me nd ation. But, if he will persist in refusing to obey the rules laid down for him, by which he is to pro tect others, as well as himself, then will be the time to exercise the more drastic measures to control hlnv As for the-plaC arding those homes, hotels, and boarding houses in which the consumptive may live, it seems unnecessary to give . it much consid eration; because it, in my, humble .op inion, being; undeserving of consid eration. It seems to me the County Board of Health should never even have thought of such athing. That it can accomplish no good, I, am a firm believer. -In the first place I , ques tion the right of the County Board of Health to Issue any such order; - at least the right to enforce it. I can rflnd , absolutely in the law quoted by Dr. Brown - that gives any such; au thority. In fact' I do not find-, the word' "consumption,". -nor the xword "tuberculosis" appearing in any sec tion" of that law.: . . : ' -. -"-, Chapter 62 of the' Public Laws of 1911,. unless I have been wrongly In formed,: was framed, drawn up, or compiled by Representatives of the State Board of Health. : It was not done carelessly v nor without mature thought; and if sit does contain any Improper partsI "beHevei,t to "be due to the changes which were placed in the law after it had passed into the possession of the . legislature. I be lieve firmly that if it had been thought wise to quarantine persona suffering from consumption or tuber culosis the representatives of the JJ oard of Health, who compiled the law, would have provided for it. Tub erculosis, or consumption, has never been a quarantlnable disease in North Carolint, nor do I bellevo it ever;will be. Further I do not believe it need be. Yet Clause l; section 1 end Clause 2 of the order of the Board of Health for the County, are distinct ly in purpose, a quarantine act. - To enforce It, means merely to ad vertise to the public the sufferers dis ease, -.which in my opinion, is not necessary. Were it necessary to give such publicity, J would be in favor of it, and I further believe the State Board of Health would, have encor porated it in the law. But where it is unnecessary, I do not bellevo we have the right to give it such public ity. It can accomplish nothing more than-greater secrecy on the part of the consumptive, making him resort to every method of deception and latse- hood to escape the notoriety; and it will do more to defeat the control of the disease than all other things combined can accomplish for control. believe such a procedure will be the most unwise thing . the County Board of Health can do. ' Further, Clause Z of this act of thej County Board of Health goes entirely too far in that it makes any one have the right to decide" If a person is suf fering from tuberculosis, or consump tion, at least to the extent of bring ing about placarding his home... It should be remembered that even ex perts are sometimes mistaken In their dianosis of this disease: and it Is cer tain that the average layman is not a competant judge of the tjuestion. In such a case, to placard a house might; and I believe would ; certainly do . so, bringing about suit damages with pos sible ; recovery of ' the same, with great loss to the county. I think the Board of Hea 1th should go mighty slow in attempting to carry out guch a' procedure. ' ! Now I am offering these comments, to the public in perfect .good .spirit, and with the hope of Jts vhavjngsthe effect of bringing about ; caution ; at least on the part of the Superinten dant of Health. It is not that I am cpopsed to health measures, for to the. contrary, I am almost an extreem ist oh the subject of publii bealth. But I believe tn doing every thing in the right way, for I believe -that the right way is the only, way to do any thing. But not believing" that ; the present proposed plan . of the County Board of Health; is the right .way, I therefore wish in this, manner to re gister my disapproval, in which I can assure you I have many supporters in this community.
