It was noticeable that he was given
close attention by both Roosevelt and
Taft, as well as by governors, diplo

- 4 Governor Johnson of Minnesota.
By John E. Lathrop.
Washington, Dec. 9. Speaking from
the same platform with President
Roosevelt and President-elect Taft,
Governor Chamberlain did two things:
lie creditably represented Oregon and
yftm compliments for demonstrated
ability. He cast into the discussion of
the conservation problem a new pro
posal which it is certain will cause
widespread debates. Already there are
signs of division, the state rights ex
tremists opposing, many others giving
assent. ,
Chamberlain's conservation plan in
cludes the following propositions:
All agree that conservation of natural
resources is necessary to the nation's
wol f tire
There' will probably arise differences
as to the authority properly to be in
trusted with conservation tasks.
Chamberlain's plan is based on the
assumption of federal control. as dis
tinguished from state control; though
the national plan is to be worked out in
hurmonv with local conservation pro
grams adopted by states, and all vested
rights are to he respected.
An Interstate conservation commis
sion, created as a federal instrumental-
portion of
newer proposals, every one
took notice."
It is understood that his suggestions
have been trlven most careful thought
by high federal officials. It Is believed
the Oregon governor has developed a
line of thought which tends in the di
rection of an inevitable drift of future
effort.
Chamberlain brought, several rounds
of applause, first, when he paid a com
pliment to Gifford Plnchot, and again
when advocating a federal conservation
commission. Correlating all essentials,
he said: -
"I don't know what my political
brethren will think of a Democrat coun
seling such a plan; but nevertheless I
believe it wise. ..
Taft engaged in pleasantries with
Chamberlain in closing the meeting.
He paid a genuine tribute to "the value
and ability of Governor Chamberlain's
discussion today."
When Taft joined Roosevelt In advo
cating bonds for the conservation move
ment when necessary, the applause was
liberal.
BAD MAN GOES TO
GALLOWS T03I0RR0W
(Special Dltpstch to Tti Journal.)
Chattanooga, Tenn.. Deo. 9. Tomor
row Is the date fixed for the execution
in the Chattanooga .Jail of David D.
Edwards, the man who caused a sen
sation at his trial last summer by de
claring that he had killed so many men
in his time that he could not remember
the exact number.
The crime for which Kdwards Is to
pay the death penalty was the murder
of J. W. Davis, a foreman in the employ
of William J. Oliver, the railroad con
tractor. The crime was committed last
March and was of a most brutal charac
ter. Prior to the killing of Davis a number
of men had fallen victims to Edwards'
ready gun. A number of them were
negroes and in most cases he escaped
without punishment. It is believed that
his victims numbered at least 16 men.
Mrs. J. W. Davis, the widow of his last
victim, has asked permission to spring
the death trap when Edwards Is exe
cuted. The request, of" course, was re
fused, but it is said that relatives of
the murdered man will be here from a
dozen states to fitness the execution.

Tuberculosis Killed
Last Year
.090
So Secretary Cortdybu Told the
International Tuberculosis
Congress
The International Tuberculosis' con
gress, recently held in Washington, has
given a world of facts concerning the
reajest scourge ever lnructea upon me
race; and li 11 nas noi pomiea oui u
positive cure it has at least shown now
the disease can be prevented, with the
urnmiu also that there will soon be
forthcoming a serum or anti-toxin
which will remove the disease from the
face of .the earth.
When we stop to consider that a mil
lion lives will be saved annually to the
world by the prevention and cure of
this disease, we can form some idea of
the Importance and magnitude of the
subject considered by this congress,
and of its tremendous Importance to
mankind.
All honor to the men who are engaged
in this work. The world will owe them,
as well as the noble profession to which
they belong, an eternal debt of grati
tude. We now know that there are millions
of persons living and moving about In
everyday life, who are suffering from
Tuberculosis in one form or another,
and it is' to this multitude attention
must be given to prevent a future devel
opment of the disease.
It is estimated that 160,000 persons
die annually in the United States from
Consumption, or Tuberculosis, and from
any way we look at it this Is a dreadful
figure to consider.
If t'hls tremendous loss to the coun
try occurred annually by the destruction
of the population of some splendid city
of 160,000 from some preventable cause,
all the strength and power of the gov
ernment would be stretched forth to put
a stop to the calamity; yet quietly and
insidiously Tuberculosis Is yearly ef
fecting this fearful loss of life and the
government scarcely recognlxea the fact.
In every city and considerable village
in the United States there should be
provided, under authority of law, an or
ganisation for the prevention and cure
of Tuberculosis under the supervision
of medical men. These organizations
should be provided with accommodations
for the treatment of incipient and ad
vanced cases of the disease, and should
also have authority to safeguard those
who are predisposed by enforcing hy
gienic conditions.
The advanced or incurables should be
separated from the incipient or curable
cases, as they are the centers of Infec
tion and the greatest danger to the pub
lic. Good food, rest, fresh air and hygi
enic living, together with moderate
doses of Duffy's Pua Malt Whiskey are
the essentials In the prevention and cure
of Tuberculosis. No treatment 'or
measures for the cure of this disease
can be successful as one reinforced by
a refined and wholesome stimulant like
this medicinal whiskey.
In safeguarding those wh'o are predis
posed to the disease and for the public
generally the most rigid measures
should be adopted. Factories, work
shops and stores of all - kinds where
help is employed and people congregate,
should be well ventilated and kept as
much as possible -clear of dust and un
necessary damDness. The laws, too. for
the prevention of spitting on floors and
the public streets should be 'strictly en-
Tnreei. aa this u tn iruuil (ouro or
danger. .-
Of great Importance Is- the care that
tim.lJ W I AMJ, Jxln. (hAl
school years. Defective eyesight, bad
teeth, adenoids and enlarged tonsils lead
to weakened constitutions, if neglected.
-A few moments' each day Or each
week, in our schools devoted tor instruo
tton in bygjenio measures would be of
inestimable value in the prevention of
Tuberculosis and other serious ailmenta.
