The Macon Daily Telegraph FOUR PAGES SECON3 SECTION ESTABLISHED IN 1828. THIS ISSUE CONSISTS OF FOUR SEC TIONS—24 PACES. MACON, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 11, 1908 DAILY, 17.00 A YEAR. 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 rrHt and fine, women of the city strong 1n the belief that women should 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. The Woman’s democratic society has Just pledged Itself to take up this question at tho next meeting of the federated women’s clubs. As a result New York Is In a fair way to be the first municipality to give to the world the “copess”—In other words, the lady TO Arrangements for tho An nual Reunion in Atlanta on 22nd Completed pnllcemnn. That the arrival of the female blueeoat Is no dream Is shown by the fervid resolutions In her favor by the woman’s democratic club, which tehclty where Tammany Is chief ore not to he despised. These resolu tions hold that it is high time thnt tho lady policeman he made n part of the city’s police,force, although it is not proposed to' clothe this first female minion of the law In the habiliments of her male brother. It (s asserted, however, that the ter ror which thejnoj> lnsplres > In the breasts feel- malefactors who flee from the present officers of the law. One startling argu ment whlrh has been advanced against arrested by a woman. One i to the thousands for which New York I* responsible In the death of the “GolonM, an aged southerner who for years has been a well known though unknown fig ure on the Bowery. In the famous bread lines In that district where the poor are furnished bread and coffee the "Colonel” for more than three has been charitable career, however, his Identiii has never been revealed. Not even 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.
