Jacob A. RHs. the eminent sociologist,
writes from New York:
' Says It Can Be Son.
"I congratulate Portland on having en-
. tered the lists against the damnablo dis
ease whose ravages are as needless , as
they are merciless. If we. as an en
lightened people can not do what they
did in the kingdom of Naples more than
100 years ago by mere royal decree
" before any one knew or dreamed of ba
cilli and. the germs and all that upon
which we base rational action in our
day namely, banish the plague of tu
berculosis from the land, then our
boasted democracy is a fake and a fraud.
We can if we merely will, and the
Christmas stamp is the right step to
( take: for while the money It brings in
Is welcome help, the inquiries it starts,
the education it promotes, the Usht that
shines all along Its trail is the great
gain from- It Whoever sees the stamp
will ask questions, and, when they are
annwered. whoever understands will
turn to and helpjj Only so can we wipe
out this disgrace, but so we can, and
.. will. Tuberculosis has no more business
among us than smallpox. . It Is as read
ily stamped out and its stkying is a dls-
rCtood luck to, Portland and its fight.
I know you all well -enough to know that
whatever It puts its hand to it will see
through. Faithfully1 yours,

Bishop's Encouragement.
Bishop Scudding' writes:
"My Dear Mrs. Nichols I have read
with much interest about the efforts
that are being made in this city on be
, lialf of the Visiting Nurse association,
and desire to express my hearty indorse
ment and commendation of the move
ment and shall be glad to aid In any
way I can. Both in New York and Chi
cago I was privileged to be In close
touch with th visiting nurses and can
bear testimony to the splendid and ef
ficient work of that organization. The
Red Cross stamp Idea Is admirable and
I trust they will have a large sale. In
all such work as this ft is the small
contributions of tha many, rather than
the large gifts of the few which it is
most desirable to secure.
"With the- season's greetings and
wishing your efforts every blessing and
all possible success. Faithfully yours,
"CHARLES SCADDINCl."

Washington, Dec. li. The senatorial
candidacy of Charles p", Taft Is ap
proaching a crisis. President-elect Taft
and RepresenatiVe Theodore P. Burton
had a long conference here today, at the
end of which Mr. Burton departed for
his home, refusing to make any state
ment. Judge Taft van equally reticent.
It Is understood, however, that Mr.
Burton, who has been mentioned fbr
both secretary of state 'and secretary
of ihe treasury In the new cabinet. In
formed I he president-elect that he must
ho regarded as an active candidate for
the tiemitorahip. Taft argued with him.
wo it is alleged, and pressed upon him
ttie advantages of a cabinet position.
The matter was discussed from all
standpoints, and finally it was deter
mined Ihat Mr. Burton should go home
and consult with his friends. A final
decision as to his Intentions Is ex
pected about the middle of the week.
It is becoming evident among polltl- i
clans here that Charles P. Taft's cau
didacy is beginning to embarrass the :
president-elect. TUe latter has studi
ously refrained from discussing the !
Ohio senatorshlp In any of its phases,
but his friends report that it bothers
him. Advices from Ohio are that, if a !
popular vote was had. Burton would bo I
selected by a heavy majority; that ;
there Is no demand for Charles P. Taft,
and that. If he is elected, it must bo
through the power of the incoming ad
ministration. FATHER SEEKS
