' Tuberculosis and Milk.
Again and ngalb statements appear
In the public prlnta that arc calcu
lated to leave the Impression that the
communication of tuberculosis from
the cow to the human being through
milk la still an open question.
That It la not an open question, and
that such transmission of the most
feared and the most deadly of all
diseases la constantly going on
through the sale and use of unpas-
teurtxcd milk baa been scientifically
demonstrated.
It haa been definitely proved by
patient and thorough Investigation In
the throe leading countries of the
world that the tubercle bacilli arc
conveyed from tuberculous cows to
tho milk that they yield, that the milk
so Infected becomes a source of dis
ease to the people drinking It, and that
the Infection so set up. Is often of the
most virulent form.
Any contrary statements, any efforts
to make this closed question appear an
open one, are based not upon the
knowledge of the present, but upon
the Imperfect Information of (he past
that has bedn Wiped nway by the
definite and conclusive progress of
science.
ft la nccesaary only to quote briefly
from the official reports of the chief
investigators of America, Great Brit
ain and Germany.
Dr. D. E. Salmon, When chief of the
dairy division of the department of
agriculture. In 190., made a mast thor
ough Investigation and found that of
t>l cows that shdwed tuberculosis un
der the tuberculin teat, 12 gate milk
that contained virulent tubercle bad)!!
and In none of theso was there any
trace of tuberculosis In the udder.
"H mutt be admitted," be said, “In
his report to the secretary of agricul
ture, "that the milk from tuberculous
cows la often infected and dangerous
when, so far as can be ascertained,
the udder Is In normal condition.”
Dr. E. C. Schroeder, superintendent
ot the experiment station of the bu
reau of animal Industry at tletheada,
Md„ last December summed up the re
sult* of t*o years' Investigation In
these words:
"Tuberculosis It a disease contract-
ed through the Ingestion of tubercle
bacilli.
"Man t« constantly exposed to fresh
tuberculous material tn ■ helpless way
through hla use of dairy products
from tuberculous cows and eoWa as-
soclated with tuberculous cattle.
“There tl no means today by which
persons are brought Into closer con
tact wlyh fresh tuberculous material
than milk and dairy products obtain
ed from and In the environment qf tu
berculous cows.
"The wide use of milk. Us rapid dis
tribution because of its perishable
character, the ease with Which it dray
he contaminated by having tubercle
bacilli laden feces splashed, sprayed,
switched or otherwise Introduced Into
it in a fresh state, all speak for one
conclusion, namely, that we have no
more active agent than the tubercu
lous cow for the Increase of tubercu
losis among animals and Its persist
ence among men."
The German Imperial health office in
October, 190f, reported:
"The fact that In a number of case,
where organa of the human body have
been found to hav* undergone a tuber-
culous change, the pretence of tuber-1
do bacilli of the typuc bovlnus ha.
Wen proved, shown that the human '
body Is capable of receiving the
germs ot Infection from secretions
inlee tuWrele badlll (for eram-1
domestic animals."
And to these definite statements of
science can be added the findings of
the British royal commission on tu
berculosis. Issued last February. This
commission says:
There can be no doubt but that In
a certain numBer of cases the tubercu
losis occurring in the human subject,
especially In children, Is the direct re
sult of the Introduction Into the TW-,
tuberculosis; and there alsc can be
no doubt tjiat.ln the majority at least
of these caBeB the bacillus la Intro
duced through cows’ milk.
"Cows' milk containing bovine tu
bercle bacilli la clearly n cause of tu
berculosis and of fatal tuberculosis In
man."
The moral Is plain, the meaning Is
clear, and the public duty of rigid care
fn this matter needs no emphasis.
IN JUSTICE TO MR. GRAVES
LINK CHARTER REVISION TO GREATER ATLANTA,
Six of Sevan of Atlanta's strongest and stkindest citizens, speaking
at the Chamber of Commerce banquet on Tuesday night to the question
of Greater Atlanta, urged In vigorous terms the union of the plan of
charter revision to the movement for enlarging the city.
Among (he addresses on this line that of Mr. Joseph Logan was so
especially thoughtful, that we make it the basis ot our editorial comment
today.
This question of lltalt extension Is linked with a larger question and
one which was Intimately connected with It when It was under discussion
and consideration some years ago.
It will be recalled that about five years ago we had n similar commit
tee called the charter revision committee or the committee of 49, and
that committee beslda" considering the extension of the city limits also
considered In some detail the revision of the city charter. It advised a
charter different tn ifiany respects from the one we now have. The need
for a different charter was at that time generally recognized and In
sisted upon, but the recommendations of thd committee on the changes
tn the charter fell with their adverse report on extension. , Now the ex
tension Idea aeema ripe—the need for revision was acknowledged six
jqyrs ago. Must it not also be recognized now?
Is not the question of Improving our means and ability for governing
thesd sections It I* proposed to annex Inevitably bound up with the propo
sition of annexing them? Should we not permit the reorganization to be
partly their own rather than Impose upon them the necessity of accept
ing one which we oureelvoa admit to he less Ideal than la Immediately
possible and practicable?
If we merely Impose our present organisation upon them, will it not
take years for them Jo be completely amalgamated? Did not West End
make a trade with the city of Atlanta when It became n part of us, and
does It not even to this day look upon Itself partly In the light of another
eity getting all it can out of Atlanta? • Will we not hate that same self-
consciousness and aloofness remaining In the hew sections now p-oposed
to take oyer unless wo make them feel that we are honestly and sincerely
Inviting them to join with us for the better government of nil?
It Is frankly stated that there Is no general plan of organization or
aettled form of city government now existing under our charter and ordi
nances. We haven't a single board constituted In the same manner, and
departments having a vital and necessary relation to each other are
working entirely Independently, and without any means or possibility of
sympathetic action.
The Park board, which elects Its Inferior offlcqrs, la appointed partly
by tho mnyor. Other boards, as far aa we recall, are elected by council,
but all of them have varying qualifications tor membership, and It It be
urged that each board la organized In zuch a manner to best meet the
requirement of Its partlcluar department, It may also be anewered that It
so, It la a marvelous piece ot luck, and not the result of a plan with
that aim In view.
When council wanted to break up the row tn the police board, It set
tled on the unique plan, ao far aa other boards are concerned, of making
commissioner* Ineligible for ro-eleetlon. U this true of any other boards?
These boards have been organized In a temporizing effort to meet the exi
gencies of an unsatisfactory situation or the whims of a man or faction.
What about the reorganisation ot the board ot trustees of Grady hospital
by giving each ward a member and the refusal to do the same with the
trustees of Camegle library? Sufficient for the boards. How about the
choice of officials In the vnrloua departments? The chief of police Is
elected by hts board, the city englnaar and the street commissioner by
the people. The city physicians are elected by counell (everybody knowB
that thetr appointment and control ought to be fn the hands of the board
of health). The olty warden and the license Inspector are appointed by
the mayor and under no department. Whore officials are under no de
partment we Infer that council In tta control has taken over administra
tive duties. The commissioner of public works, the city engineer, the city
attorney, who are all elected by tho people, are also responsible to coun
cil, If to anybody, and bero again we see a largo body of men, everywhere
recognized *s * poor means of obtaining administrative efficiency, admin
istering the details of the city's affairs. Wo have patched our charter
and made a crazy quilt of It without even a design. Council Is overloaded
with details of administration and not confining Itself, as a legislative body
should do, solely to questions ef policy.
There Is not a coordinating principle In tho management of our city,
and responsibility I* so diffused that (he people are losing their Interest
In city hffalrs. We have not organised so as to utilize ahd develop that
precious personal Interest and olflo obligation which should characterize
all our cltisanz. W* have so distributed responsibility and lessened op
portunity that not always la capable material available for public serv
ice. / ,
Make the Job big, and big men will want It.
Possibly we are ready for the Initiative and referendum and at least
for the privilege ot acquiring or operating public utilities should we come
to the point where we have our mind* made up that we want to do that.
We don't want continually to have to go to the state legislature every
lime a new need or situation develop*.
But all that Is a question ot detail. We do not know that what wo
are going to suggest now has ever been done tn Atlanta, and yet It Is
the first thing any little concern would do before It began business. We
have never employed and paid a man or group ot men to study out a
charter and five ua the benefit of the mistakes and gains that other
cities have made In the line of governmental schemes.
We auggeit that along with the agitation for extending the limits,
council be asked to authorise this committee of fifty to employ three or
five men at a good remuneration to study the queatlon of the beat way
to organise, and report back to the committee and council when they
hare completed their work. They should be paid well and given time.
The last charter revision committee, composed aa it was of volunteers, all
more or leas busy men, unfamiliar with other cities’ methods, could not
go properly Into the queatlon. The committee chairmen, we are Inform'
ed. did tome study, but they had to come back to a body ot men who had
not given the time or thought necessary to qualify them to know what to
choose, and the general committee then further hampered and modified
suggestions. The committee also was engaged In the same old patch-
Vorlc, rather than In considering a new charter.
Now if we waut this catenated matter te go to the legislature In June,
we may as well understand that we are temporizing and hindering, out
of sentimentalism, another more Important and far-reaching change, and
watting a great opportunity.
If we exhanat.public sentiment and the Idea of a greater Atlanta on
this one extension Idea, tte opportunity now at hand will not come again
Washington, May lg.—tinder the
caption. "In Justice to Mr. Graves.”
The Washington Herald today say*,
editorially:
"The Washington Herald takes pleas
ure In calling attention to a statement
from Mr. John Temple Graves, by way
of denial of a published story with
reference to his presence In Washing
ton shortly after he delivered at Chat
tanooga a speech urging Mr. Bryan to
nominate Mr. Roosevelt for another
term. The story In question, which
was published Ir. this newspaper on
what was regarded as good authority,
was to the effect that Mr Graves, on
the occasion referred to, made two
or three attempts to communicate with
President Roosevelt and that hli efforts
being Ignored at the white house, he
angrily left the city, went to Chlchgo
and reversed his Cjpattanooga sug
gestion by recommending that Mr.
Roosevelt nominate Mr. Bryan.
"All this Mr. Graves vigorously de
nies. Of his visit to. Washington Im
mediately after the delivery of the
Chattanooga speech, he says:
"'I stopped over, as usual, for a
brief visit to my only brother, who
1 has been long a resident of Washing
ton. My entire time was spent with
him. I avoided nil publicity, steered
clenr of my newspaper friends: I did
not go In the neighborhood of the white
house, and under every Intvluct of dig
nity and delicacy, I did not xKVettiy
or remotely seek any communication
with the president or his secretary by
mnll. wire, telephone or messaged
"We print this statement gladly and,
In addition, beg to assure Mr. Graves
that The Washington Herald Is the
last newspaper on earth to do him or
any other man an Intentional injustice.
He Is right In assuming that we bear
him no malice. On the contrary, .we
entertain a positive affection for him,
even though we do not always agree
with his views, nnd sometime* find
amusement, as well as Instruction, In
his written and oral productions, Mr.
Graves, we nsrert with nil emphasis.

Islonce, and we regret exceedingly I
anything should hove occurred to make
him think otherwise for even a mo
ment.
"Those newspapers which reprinted
the story about Mr. Graves from our
Columns, we are sure, will be as ready
and willing to set him right as we are
ourselves."

“THE THIRD TERM SPECTER”
From The Washington Post.
Even his enemies must admit the Im
mense popularity of President Roose
velt. It Is confined to no section or
state: but It Is general, though not
quite universal, throughout the coun
try. There had been much unrest in
the land; the people believed that
something was out of Jolnti there was
a vague sort of feeling that privilege
was enthroned; that the law was for
tho great and not for the small.
Tho president proclaimed the "square
deal.” The peoplo hailed It with de
light, and.responded to htm ns to no
Other president, hot even to Jackson In
his titanic battles with tho bank. We
all remember the long struggle over the
rate bill. For months the Issue hung
In the balance, but In the end the presi
dent prevailed., Then It was that this
third-term sentiment began to lay hold
on the people, and day by day It has
waxed and expanded nnd gathered
thought, and even thousands and thou
sands of Democrats are Infected with
It. It would be Irresistible if Mr.
Roosevelt should only say the word or
give the wink.
It Is nmuslgg to witness the discom
fiture the present situation brings to
some very excellent folk, who love to
dabble In afTalrs of state. Their argu
ment Is simple. If not quite clear, and
this Is what It Is and all It Is: The
president can not, without something
very much like dishonor, accept the
nomination next year. They have thus
read him out of the field; but their dis
tress Is excruciating when they con
template the possibility that the Roose
velt ot 1908 may do as did the Roose
velt ot 1900, and accept a nomination
that he did not seek and does not want.
They throw the argument at the presi
dent's hend that he has got as much
honor out ot the office as It had to be
stow, and that the clamor for his re-
nomtnatlon Is something the president
Is called on to firmly Ignore, It not
sternly rebuke.
Their concern Is not for Roosevelt’s
honor nor for the country's weal. What
they dread la public opinion and that — — - —

for another election. Mr. Tom Platt
was no more solicitous to put Theodore
Roosevelt out of the governor's man
sion at Albany than these amiable and
patriotic gentlemen are to get Theoda
Roosevelt out of the White House
Washington. The Integrity of Amei
can politics disturbs them much less
than the virility of Mr. Roosevelt's poli
tics
We do not see that the president can
do other than he Is doing. He made his
statement the night of election in 1904.
There Is no evidence that he has recon
sidered It, or thst he Contemplates a
retraction of It. From a political stand,
point he la the most abundantly suc
cessful man In our history. It Is mani
fest that all he has to do to get the
nomination ot his party In 1908 Is to
become In the slightest degree a "re
ceptive" candidate—that le to say, If by
any possibility he will accept he can
have It. Suppose It should become ob
vious to most men, as It now Is to
many men, that Roosevelt Is the only
man who can beat Bryan? If the elec
torate should hold Its present temper
there Is no doubt that Roosevelt will be,
by large odds, the strongest man his
party can nominate, and long ago the
Republican party mastered the art of
discovering Its strongest man and nom
inating him.
That Is what Is the matter with these
worthy gentlemen, who have shown
conclusively that Roosevelt can not be a
candidate. Show them that he would
be beaten by a "safe and sane” Demo
crat and nothing would please them
better thnn Roosevelt's nomination.
It-Is amusing and must be stimulat
ing to the president's sense of humor.
What will they do If they are forced to
choose between Roosevelt and Bryan?

TJie following communication from
E. W. Hatch, of Montana, III., address
ed to the editor of The Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, appeared In that newapa-
r May 19 and Is reproduced In The
-orglsn because of the Interest In
nudynrd Kipling's latest effort, "The
Boh* of Martha," which was published
this newspaper a few days ago:
"Am I right or am 1 wrong? Am I
trudging with the few or marching
with the throng?
"In any case, Mr. Editor, 1st some
one nrlse and explain. As a specter
of tlie night nr haunting Image of the
day, this poem, 'The Bons of Martha,'
by Rudyard Kipling, seems hanging to
my heels, a clog to progress or a club
to excite my fears.
"If I, am w rong as to present Im-
pressloas, the following are some of
the reasons:
"Not the least, of course, Is my in
ability to Interpret or understand one
like the great English writer. Could I
see from his viewpoint or reason ns
one born and bred In the atmosphere
of royalty, the case might be different.
And even then, since the scene of In

common to the sacred, the poem being
Inspired by an Incident lm the life of

Doubts Meaning of Text,
"Besides, If I am wrong, It seems
to hinge upon the question of fairness
of Interpretation as to the Scripture
record Involved. The rendering nec
essary in order to sustain the poem
appears to me overdrawn nnd by In
ference forced to an unwilling and for.
bidding service.
"The Incident, which Is recorded In
Lnke 10:88-41, was one ot those every,
day occurrences, so apt to furnish mat
ter for helpful ministration. There Is
not In all ths scene, by circumstance,
word or Inference, a single shnde of

told by Luke. Familiarity with the
passage will enable the reader to Judge
of the fairness of the sentiments so
deftly drawn from It and given wings
for the widest flight to the homes and
hearts of men.
Poem's Significance Plain.
“My lost reason, then, lies Itr the
meaning of the poem. Is not Its per
spicuity apparent? Judging from the
common use of words, and rroni the
structure and style of the composition,
we have little difficulty as to the
thought expressed or its application to
life.

to the matter or meaning expressed.
But here the unhappy gap, Indicative
of that agility which the insincere
writer often betrays, seems to me the
flagrant fault of the poem. The au
