WHU SHflLl WE HEW YORK'S BIG C D N FEDERATE
DO WITH THE
A Question Which Will
Come Up to the I)emo-
ocratic Executive
Committee
ATLANTA. Ga.. Oct. 10—What will
the democratic party organization do
•bout those voters who participated
In the primary of June 4. and voted
for Yancy Carter in the state election
on Wednesday of this week?
It is expected that the state com
mittee will take some action at Its
next meeting, before another campaign
begins, in order to absolve the organ
ization of all charges of being partl-
. san for any candidate or faction in
whatever steps are taken. There Is a
decided sentiment here among lead
ing democrats of both of the recent
contending factions to hereafter ex
clude all those who went back on their
obligation from future democratic white
primaries. It is known that some men
who are well known in their respec
tive communities failed to abide by
the primary result utid voted the in
dependence ticket. One prominent
banker of Marietta acted in this way.
and several well known Atlanta then
are known to have done likewise. It is
reported that several members of*the
IMlton county democratic executive
committee voted for Mr. Carter. If
this Is found to be true they will prob
ably be asked to resign.
It would be difficult for the state
committee to adopt an absolutely fair
method of eradication In removing
those who failed to support the
ticket from future membership In the
party. About the only thing that could
be done would be to provide a method
of challenging, first adopting a ruie
that those who have ever violated their
obligation in the past shall not bo per
mitted to vote as well ns those who
fail to obligate themselves to support
the candidate named In'the particular
primary. By this method, a voter
when challenertfu would be asked to
subscribe to an oath of the nbovo ef
fect; first, that he had supported tin
ticket In the past. and. second, would
do so In the instance at hand.
If the committee undertakes to put-
law those voted for Mr. Carter, It 1j
probable that some will demand that
the same rule be applied to those who
support Thomas E. Watson, populist
candidate for president, at the Novem
ber election.
Difficulties will be met with when
this last proposition Is faced. When
the state committee undertook to do
the same thing In 1906 because of
large number who had taken part in
the state primary voting for Watson
In the national election, a howl of pro
test went up all over the state. Th<
succeeding state* convention failed to
make the party organization clear on
the subject, and the platform of tho
last convention binds voters only to the
nominees of the particular primary In
which they took part.
If Mr. Watson pots a good vote, as
he probably shall, then neither faction
of tho party will bo anxious to give
serious offense to his followers and
align them with the other side In sue
coedlng electlpns.
However, no party Integrity can be
maintained unless those who enter
primary are bound to support the cai
dldates named therein; and the state
committee will doubtless take steps to
prevent such action In'future.
COST OF TUBERCULOSIS
IS A 'BILLION A YEAR
[ BILL
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10-Pjof. Irv
omlst of Yale University, who In one
omlst of Yalo University, who in one
of his papers before the .recent Inter
national Tuberculosis. Congress In
Washington declared that consumption
costs the people of the United States
more than a billion dollars a year, Is
preparing an exhaustive report for the
National Conservation Commission,
which will contain not only these fig
tires but similar data on the economic
loss to the country from all other pre
ventable diseases.
Prof. Fisher is a member of the Na
tional Conservation Commission and
for many yaars has been carrying on
studies along these lines. The com
mission received letters from physi
cians all over the country urging it to
consider the bearing of public health
on the economic efficiency of the na
tion in its efforts to ascertain the re
sources of the country.
The commission from the beginning
has contemplated reports on the eco
nomic aspects of several phases of the
conservation movement which affect
the duration and effectiveness of hu
man Ufa, but Prof. Fisher has un
dertaken to prepare a comprehensive
statement of the whole eubject of the
relations of public health to the general
field of conservation, and especially us
to the waste from preventable diseases
and unnecessary deaths.
Dr. Fisher is professor of political
economy at Yale University and chair
man of the “Committee of One Hun
dred" of the American Aaroclatlon for
the Advancement of Science, which has
for a long time been carrying on prop
aganda for the Increase of national
health through the elimination of pre
ventable diseases. This committee of
one hundred la composed of physicians
and men engaged in active sociological
work In every part of the country, and
the results of their investigations and
experience are all available to Dr.
Fishsr. so that his report ought to be
the most thorough-going and complete
summary of the situation ever made.
At the Tuberculosis Congress, Prof.
Fisher declared that 1*1.000 persons die
of consumption every year. The cost
of medical attendance and ths loss of
earnings before death average at least
92.400, he said, while if to this Is
added the money that might have been
earned with health, the total loss in
each case is about 16,000. He pointed
out. also, that the disease usually at
tacks young men and women Just at
the time when they are beginning to
earn money and cuts off their earning
power for about thre# years on an
average, before they die.'
This subject of the economic value
to the country, of a general raising of
tbe average health came up in the
governors* conference at tfah white
house in Hay. Dr- George X. Kober
In his speech on the “Conservation of
NEW YORK. Oct. 10.—It is proba
ble that an offlco unique in the history
of American cities will sbon bo created
here—nothing less Indeed than that of
superlntendant of municipal automo
biles. The city government has out
stripped all bompetltors in Its use of
tho auto until today it is the possessor
of an even hundred self-propelled ve
hicles “to expedite the administration
of municipal riiutters." The number
becomes doubly remarkable because of
the fact that tho city which now i& the
largest municipal owner of autos In the
country had none at all five years ago.
While Father Knickerbocker has thus
shown ills progressiveness the suspi
cion has arisen that the all-pervading
graft Is not entirely absent in this
matter. The hundred machines
carried on the city’s books at a cost
aluutlon of I2G0.030.3S, the cars rang-
!*»g in price from *500 in the case of
lallost to the rather surprising
maximum of |6,5C0 for the largest. It
is not, however, the Initial cost which
ating the trouble but the bills for
“repairs and depreciation.” The city’
garage bill now aggregates 1800,000
year, which means that more money Is
charged annually to the repairs
each machine than Its original cost.
In addition to this the yearly depre
ciation Is estimated at 50 per cent.
Altogether Father Knickerbocker Is
finding his autos a very expensive lux
ury, and since it Is believed that much
of the expense is pure graft, New
York may shortly have a superintend
ent of Its automobiles. Undoubtedly
the office would prove unpopular, as
of the first duties of its incumbent
would be to stop the use for private
purposes of the city's machines.*
To Die or Not to Die.
Whether it is better to die" legally
r to be cured Illegally is a curious
question which Is soon to be decided
by the courts of this state. To be
cured illegally and then sued seems
only one stage better than to die In
peace unhappy, yet this choico seems
more than a probability. To tho av
erage patient It lias seemed of littlo
moment by whom he was cured so
long as ho was cured. But now the
state Judiciary Is likely to step In
with a dictum to the effect that one
can only be cured within certain speci
fied limits. This Jurisdiction, however,
will have to do not with the process of
curing but tho practitioner. Hick peo
ple It would seem may bo cured by an
individual but not by a corporation.
Tills lias nothing to do with tho cor
poration as such. Instead It. has only
this curious complication, that, while
two or twAty doctors may practice
their profession co-operatively nnd
legally, such practice nnd co-operation
becomes entirely illegal If tho doctors
for purely business reasons decide to
Incorporate. In other words, the courts
nre now concerned with the husln<
end. As a consequence the patient in
Now York is ns likely to die through
the agreement of courts ns disagree
ments between doctors. The point has
been brought Into prominence through
an Incorporation of doctors who pro
pose to minister to/certain classes for
the sum of one dollar a year. With
the intervention or the courts, how
ever, the sit nation has become Inter
estlng. nnd It remains to be determined
whether a sick mnn has a right to pet
well anyway or only as tho courts pre
scribe.
Female Policemen.
While any man that publicly pinches
woman in New York is liable to

bo allowed to pinch men. They are
not, however. In favor of a Caruso act,
‘ut are highly enthusiastic over the
npolntment of a female policeman.

Life and Health by Improved Water
Supply" at the conference presented
figures which showed that the decrease
In the “vital assets” of the country
through typhoid fever In a single year
is more than 9*50,000,000. Typhoid is
spread by polluted water largely so
that the death rate from this disease
can he directly reduced by the purifi
cation of city drinking water. Dr.
Kober quoted statistics to show that
the Increased value of the water to the
city of Albany, where the typhoid fever
rata was reduced from 104 in 100,000
to 26 by an efficient filtration plant,
amounts to 1476,000 a year, of which
$350,000 may be considered a r**al in
crease to the vital assets of the city.
Census bureau figures show that the
average annua! death rate from ty
phoid in cities with contaminated water
supplies was reduced from 69.4 per
100.000 to lt.8 by the substitution of
pure supplies.
Dr. Kober cited estimates showing
that the average length of human life
In the sixteenth century was betwc*n
16 and 20 years, and that at the close
of the eighteenth century it was a lit-
tie more than 90, while today it is be
tween 36 nnd 40—indeed, the span of
life sieve 1660 baa been lengthened
about six years.
