Progressive West
Again In Saddle
All the .'indications are at this writ
ing that the progressive West is again
in the saddle a sit was in 1912. I'lie
differences within the Republican par
ty then are the difference within that
party now. It is the Old Guard re
actionary group, dominated by preda
tory corporate and financial interest -,
seeking only special privileges, again.t
the liheral and progressive element
representing the great producing area
of the west.
Of the till Republicans in the Sen
ate .'I,'I are from the west, and it is
therefore apparent that if the pro
gressive west wil Island together, it
can, with .Democratic assistance,
change the whole trend of legislation
at this session from reactionary to
progressive. Whetlier the Progressive,-,
wil lretain the advantage they have
gained will lie demonstrated latei
when the railroad loan bill of $. r i(>(l°-
(MHi.IMMI comes up, together with the
War Loan funding bill, a most sin
ister reactionary and hitherto unhearn
' of piece of legislation, in that it eon -
_ fei s upon the secretary" of the 'ly-oa*-
ury sole power to do as he pleases
with sll ,(Klo,M>o,t)Hl of war loan debts
and the absurd Fordne.v Tariff bill in
the interest of the manufacturing da.
and detrimental to agricultural inter
ests generally; also when the confer
ence shall take place on the pending
tax bill. This much now seeing cer
tain. Hither the Old Cuartl must go
on surrendering or the Progressive
Republican element of the west must
again submit to be cajoled and fooled
if the party is to he hedl together.
The Progressive, Republicans have
taken a long time to assert themselves
Phey have permitted not only the i
terests of the west to suffer but the
whole nation as well for the last
three years as a result of,their recon

rentage of deuths from tuberculosis a
niong the whitt! population larger.
The real menace of tuberculosis in
1 North Carolina is not from the indjan,
but the negro. Wit ha coolred pop
1 illation of '763,407, we have inon
' deaths from tuberculosis among tin
negroes than we do among the whiti
regardless of the fact that the whiti
population is 2 1-4 times larger that
' the colored. By comparing the deatl
rate for nogroes, which is 188.1 with
the rate of 81.2 for the whites, some
; idea of the destructive effect of tubei
culosis on the colored man will he
seen.
The. North Carolina Tuberculosis
Association proposes to use a portion
' (if th ereceipts from the sale of Tu
-1 berculosis Christmas eal to employ i'
clinic physician for Work among ne
' groea, to the end that the cases may
lie found early, treatment provided
it for as many as possible and that every
- case discovered may lie so
and regulated that he will not com
municate the disease to others, eithei
white or colored.

There are always about 200 lite
comers, so that before the college year
L i. over the University could have nen

of them. Hut it cannot. Living
quarters, classroom space and eating
facilities are strained to the utmost.
, The cornerstone of the first of the

i One factor that increases attendauc*
so rapidly isi the expanding oppor
tunity for poor students to support
