This means that proper buildings and equipments ara absolutely necessary. The best re sults are not possible and cannot ra tionallv be expected from children who ara compelled to spend their school days in oaaiy nestea. worse venuiaiea, poor ly lighted and unsanitary school build ings. All thla Ashland haa fully realized and haa accordingly done her duty gen erously and intelligently. In nothing mora than the nchool buildings of the city is the character, the spirit and high purpose of th cltlrens of Ash land revealed to good advantage. The olty has two excellent school buildings.

GREAT WHITE PLAGUE I Greatest National Danger Attacked by Experts at Wash ington Congress Who Plan to Study Disease and At tempt Its Alleviation and Possible Cure. 1 i: I By Frank Irvine. J All last week tha eyes of Christendom -were focused on tha city of Wash ington, The nations had gathered fthera seeking surcease and nepenthe 'from a malady that is as Old as man, and that front the beginning has been .'the scourge of tho race. Nearly 400 miserably perish of tuberculosis every single day in tho year in this country. . This does not mean today only but yesterday, tne day before, - countless '-daya before that,, and tomorrow, and .countless days-down tho future.' If we were In the midst of a devastating war In which the battlefield every day in The week, every week In the year and :avery year in - tha century for ages would bo strewn with 400 dead, hearths and homes would be shaken with the horror of the , calamity.

It was the International Tuberculosis congress. made up of the foremost scholars and scientists from every Dart of tba civil ized globe. They are a compendium of tne accumulated knowledge or tne ages on the subject. In Its conception, great er man any other congress that over as sembled; greater oven that the Hague r-eace conference: greater than any meetlnz of the nations that haa trans ptred at any time. In any place or any wnere: this assembiasre la a mignty con- trast to the serried ranks and panoply of armies, to the ostentatious phalanx or Dame rieets, or tne gilded palaces and enterprises of massed wealth and marshalled fashion. It is the best voice of man, speaking comfort and hope to the milliona. It Is tha best in the heart of man, reaching out In mercy to hIp the dying multtude.

He believed In con taglon at first, but doubted it later in life. Accurate descriptions of the di sease appeared in the early part of the lfcth century, but it was not until 1882 that, an unknown health officer in an obscure German town, Dr. Robert Koch, actually discovered the tubercle bacilus, the germ by which tubercu losis is transmitted. Koch's discovery was so complete that but little has been added to it since. It is a dis covery that has revolutionized the hy gienic management and treatment of the disease. After it, and its demonstration of absolute communlcability, came the isolation of patients, and the destruc tion cf sputum, measures that have exerted an extraordinary influence In preventing a more extended spread of the terrible disease. . The subsequent announcement of tuberculin as a prob able cure in 1890, the more recent dis cussion as to the relationship between human end bovine tuberculosis, vaccina tion studies, and the still more radical views Introduced by von Behrlng in 1902 as to tho source, time and pathway of infection constitute periods in the recent hlstorv of the maladv. to whlon have been added the rapid extension of preventive measures and the sanatorium movement. Death Rata Klgli. No other disease Is so widespread, pro duces so much poverty and so long con tinued distress. From one seventh to one tenth of nil deaths, and an enormous proportion or invalidism are due to it.

Newsholmo de clares that 11.3 per cent of all deaths In Kne-land and Wales are Still due to it The latest United Btates census gives the total deaths from it in loo in mis country at 111.059, the rate being 109. to 1.000 inhabitants, or about one ninw of the deaths from all Jtnown causes.

The executive committee of the Popu list state central committee of four years ago has Issued a statement to the members of tho party in Oregon, advo eating that the members of that party cast their votes for William Jennings Bryan. The statement is as follows: Portland, Or., Oct. 1. To the Popu lists of the State of Oregon In compli ance with the wishes of many old-line Populists, and in obedience to what seems to be a patriotic duty, your com mittee of four years ago now asks your serious consideration of the following suggestions: Momentous Issues affecting the per petuity of the rights of the people are dependent on the result of the The ole ending Popu- Exnerlments mads in compressed air by two English physicians demonstrated that divers can worn at least ztv ieei nder water without danger of death from tne pressure. fa- Scott's Emulsion does all it does by virtue of one thing Power its power to create power; As fire turns water to steam so Scott's Emulsion transforms thin, impure blood into pure, rich blood, giving nourishment and vital energy to every organ, every tissue and every muscle. i presidential campaign. lists who courageously led the van tfuard for the people's rich t a. just re forms and the square deal 20 years ago cannot remain silent now. What Taft Policy Means. Divesting the platforms of the two old parties of their unnecessary verbi age, and stripping the contest of all it partisan clap-trap for catching the pop ular ear, we clearly discern three dis tant tendencies represented by the pres. ldential candidates of these parties. Tha Ideas and policies represented and ad vocated by Mr. Taft tend toward a cen tralized government restricting jbhe nguu, ona puwr oi ine people, WhUe the ideas and policies advocated by Mr. Bryan tend in the opposite direction, seeking to enlarge the rights and power of the people. The Republican candi date, Mr. Taft, frankly admits that he is opposed to direct legislation by the people under the principles of the Initia tive and referendum, and to the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, and the publication of campaign contributions. In a public address on this subject little over a year ago, on Aurust 17, 1907. at Oklahoma Citv. In the state of Ukianoma. Mr. Tart Said: "You of course will do as you please. but if my advice is worth anything: to you, I'd vote No, because your constitu tion does not furnish sufficient power to tne proper administration ov pablic offioers, and when you put the Initia tive and referendum in the constitution overshadow all others that , it would only belittle tha importance of tho pres ent campaign to refer to the tariff, cur rency or other hackneyed subjects. It Is to the honor and glory of our state that it was the first, or all the states of our Union to carry the star spangled banner of the people's rights to the front, and to triumphant victory in constitutional enactments, forever se curing to the people the right to make their own laws and choose their own senators by direct legislation and the direct primary. And it is to the honor and glory of tho old Populists that they led the battle for these rights of the people. Andnow half the states of tho Union, and tnore than 60 cities of our country, are following where Ore gon led tha procession. We cannot now afford to take any backward step. And now for these considerations, and at this crisis of public affairs, we ap peal to our fellow cltissens, the battle scarred veterans of the old Populist party, ana rospectruny ana candidly submit the question: "Ought we not to vote for William J. Bryan, rather than for William H. Taft?" , Respectfully submitted. A. P. NELSON.. Chairman. ERNEST BARTON Serfy. . WILLIAM T. HALL. .GEORGE OGLE.
