II is gratifying to learn that Con
gress Is likely to complete the tariff
bill by July 1, but it would be Infinite
ly more so to know that it was to be
a good bill. There has been much
talk in the newspapers, not excluding
some of the most prominent republi
can publications, of President Taft's
vetoing I he tariff bill if it did not
make good the pledges of the party,
but such predictions are gradually
subsiding and we fear the president is
yielding to the blanMlHhments of Al-
drieh and the rest of the hibinders in
the senate. From a purely Democrat
ic stand point It would be gratifying
to see the president sign a bill which
makes a mockery of the voters and
will so far outrage their feelings as
to insure the condemnation of the peo
ple ut the pools. From the broader
ti midpoint of patriotism and philanth
ropy, in the best sense of the word,
however, it will be deplorable if any
ll'ing resembling the Senate tariff bill
is written on the statutes. Whatever
tiie bill may bo which Mr. Tal't signs
11 will remain on the statutes for
years. This is inevitable. A Demo
cratic majority may be elected to the
House but It will bo a long time be
fore the pollcical complexion of the
Senate can be changed and if the new
tariff laws rob the consumer for the
benefit of certain favored manufactur
ers that robery will go on for a long
time. Therefore, even at the loss of
political advantages, we hope to see
the best possible tariff bill enacted.
Incidently, too, we should be sorry
to see the president of the United
States, regardless of the party which
elected him, approve a measure "of
perfidy and dishonor", or yield one
iota to the men who are blandly de
claring that "there is no consumer."
Senator Uailey of Texas, explain
ing his vote for a tariff on lumber,
said that the Democratic National
Convention had no right to declare,
in its platform, for free lumber, that
such a declaration was an Interference
with the legislative functions of Dem
ocratic Senators and Representatives
and that he did not purpose to be
uuiiuu uy mo puny piatiorm. It a
national parly convention has no right
u ujiiu me party which It represents
who has? And if the national plat
form cannot be taken as an indica
tion of the views and purposes of
the party It would be interesting to
know what can.
A man was recently killed at
an eastern college by the hammer
thrown In athletic exercises. Then
the college proposed to abolish ham
mer throwing as a part of Us sports.
Now the young man, who Is an ex
pert hamnjer thrower, complains bit
terly. He says he has invested time
and muscle In learning to throw the
hammer, that he has paid his tuition,
Invested money In books and has even
attended some of the lectures In the
hope that he might win fame as a
hummer thrower and that If the col
lege abolishes this form of sport it
will be an injustice to an Infant in
dustry. KWdently that young man has
been reading the tariff debates and

President Taft don't like bragarts.
When Governor Stubbs of Kansas
boasted that he had defeated his ap
pointments in the Kansas delegation,
with the help of the president, by get
ting a man appointed in the govern
ment service, Mr. Taft promptly drop
ped the man. Then the president ap
pointed Elmer Dover former secre
tary Qf the Republican National Com
mittee, a bank examiner, Mr. Dover
boasted long and loudly and now the
president has rescinded the appointment.
The president has urged John Hays
Hammond, the notable engineer, to
accept the post of Minister to China
and Mr. Hammond has refused. Mr.
Taft then asked Mr. Hammond to
find for him the right man for the
place. It was a peculiar commentary
that the president should have so
much difficulty In filling this place
that he has to ask a civilian to find
him a man.

Women's Club Throughout the Na
ion Have Organized to Study
and Prevent the
Disease.
One million women, representing
cities, towns, villages and isolated
rural settlements in every section of
the country, are to-day enlisted in
and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in
cording to a statement Issued by Hie
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuburculosis. In
legislatures, in Congress at Washing
ton, in society gatherings, In churches
and clubs, through speaking and writ
ing In every possible way, the women
of the country are persistently fight
ing consumption.
With an organization established In
every state In the country, under the
direction of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, and with associated
clubs in Alaske and Hawaiian Islands,
Porto Rico and the Canal Zone, the
women of the country have entered
a systematic crusade to carry the
message of the prevention and cure
of tuberculosis Into every American
home.
The organization of the women's
anti-tuberculosis campaign was definit
ely begun in St.Paul in l',)0G, at the
time of the biennial meeting of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs,
when that body sanctioned a resolu
tion "to make" the prevention and cure
of tuberculosis a subject of study,"
mil made Mrs. Rufus P. Williams, of
Cambridge, Massachusetts, Chairman
of the new department, called the
"Health Department of the General
Federation o'f Women's Clubs."
The Executive Board of the Moth
er's Congress has also recently enter
ed into a crusade, and has prepared
circulars and literature on the preven
tion of consumption, which are being
circulated broadcast throughout the
country.. In every city where the
Congress Is represented, an Advisory
Hoard of local physicians is being
formed to help educate mothers about
tuberculosis. Other national organi
zatlonsof women have given favorable
consideration to the campaign against
tuberculosis.
One of the most notable campalngns
which is being carried on by women
is that In the Southern States in con
nection with the traveling exhibit of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In
Tennessee, Florida and Alabama,
whole states have been stirred by the
activity of the wooien"s organizations.
A large number of women occupy
ing prominent positions in society or
on the stage, are taking an active in

recently given a million dollars for
sanitary homes for consumptives. Mrs.

K.
E. McGugan Explains Why His
Check is Larger Than Other
Supervisors.
BULRUN. Or. Editor Courier In
the last Issue of the Enterprise there
appeared an article, signed "Taxpay
er" in regard to some road supervisors
drawing more money from the county
court than others. Now the answer
Is simple enough.
Some time ago, It was decided by"
the county court that a supervisor
could petition the court to have all
the money due any road district for
work put on one warrant, made out
to the supervisor of that district, so
the supervisor could issue checks
himself to the men who worked under
hm. In this manner, the supervisor

men by paying them out of his own

sumption fight. In Porto Rico Mrs
Albert Norton Wood, wife of a promt

Juan, has stirred the entire Island
through the anti-tuberculosis crusade
she inaugurated, lime. Emma Calve
is a most enthusiastic worker, and has
given largely of her talent and money
for the relief of tuberculosis sufferers,
and Miss Olga Nethersole has even
lectured before the public on tuberculosis.
And the fight is not only being car
ried on by women organized in clubs
and wealthy women, but by the work
ing women in the general labor move
ment against tuberculosis, and by the
women who are battling hand in hand
with the disease in connection with
the religious and philanthropic organ
izations of the country. The special
tuberculosis nurse, too, is a recent
addition to the fighting force enlisted
against consumption, and almost all
of these are women. No city cam
paign Is complete to-day without such
a nurse, and on this account hundreds
pf them are devoting their lives in
unselfish service for the relief of hu
man suffering.
