LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OHANLER'B SPEECH. It Is a good, strong, wholesomh speech which the Democratic Lieutenant Governor of New York has made at the Georgia State Fair today. The utterance of Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler stamps him as a healthy, happy man with a clear head, a sound liver and a good heart He la a cheerful American who recognises present perils In government, but Is full of faith In their possible prevention, and resolutely willing to do his part In the necessary work. Governor Chanler's analysis of present conditions Is clear and cor rect. He goes to the root of the evils that lie In congested and selfish wealth, and Is neither a radical nor a pessimist In his view of conditions or prospects. Perhaps the core of Mr. Chenier's speech Is his plea for the re moval of the tariff from politics. And upon this proposition he Is entirely sound. He is right In the contention that "special privilege” has sprung from the tariff, and the three paragraphs which follow contain some sound sense which cannot too often be repeated: "Conceded that the evils threatening us spring from special privilege—and n protective tariff Is special privilege—let seek the remedy In a common sense and Intelligent treatment of the tariff evil. We have lived and grown great, under, but not because of, the protective system. To thoughtlessly de stroy that system would be to kill the patient before an attempt at cure. To unlntelllgently tamper with the tariff to secure temporary relief Is equally unwise and dangerous. The tariff, as It now exists. Is an evil! , "President McKinley, In his last public words, practically admitted It. But this method of raising money to curry on gov ernment has become so much a part of our national econom ics that a tariff. In some form, Is today a national necessity. A national necessity should never be a football to be played with by political parties! "Take the tariff out of politics! Divorce It from every suggestion of political manipulation. Make the raising of revenue a national, not a partisan, responsibility. The army and navy are not fettered by politics; they sre not made use of for pri vate gain. The tariff should stand upon the same high plane, not to be made use of as a private privilege, but regulated and respected as a national necessity, reduced to the lowest terms Commensurate with our commercial growth and national Impor tance.” And of course the onl? rational proceai of dealing with thfa chango la to take tariff reform out of the hands of the partisan committee . which usually shapes It, and to let ua have a commission not composed entirely of men who are dependent upon political contributions for con tinuance In office. Let the people themselves be upon the bench of the court that Is to pass Judgment upon matters affecting their most vital Interests. Out of the discussions and vast Information resultant from a national tariff conference, composed of men who represent every recog nized branch of American trade, commerce, labor and development, will come the light of truth. Wo congratulate Governor Chanler upon the excellent Impression created both by bis speech and hla personal bearing In Atlanta. ROOSEVELT AND WALL STREET. While the corporate gamblers and Wall street speculators are shouting their denunciation of Mr. Roosevelt because of his splendid fight for civic and commercial honesty, the sane and sound people of the great money center are applauding the president and holding up his hands. Here, for Instance, Is The Wall Street Summary finding In recent events "the most convincing evidence of the correctness of tho presi dent's position on the true functions of government not alone In the broad domain of politics, but as well In the higher realm of morals.” The Summary asks the question; "Will these critics ot tho president unloose a tempest of de nunciation at the clearing bouse committee for its construc tive but, nevertheless, drastic work within referred to? If not, why not? The situation unearthed by that body revealed abuses and Irregularities that tend to undermine confidence and destroy business—tho very Identical vices against which Mr. Roosevelt Is stirring the conscience of the nation! The com mittee applied the exterminating treatment of Mr. Roosevelt aa the remedy for tho diseased conditions revealed to it, and the stock r arket. mlrabile dlctu, promptly responds by showing a returning strength. While it must be admitted that this Is duo In part'to the covering by 'shorta.' the fact Is Insufficient to dis parage the truth of thla happening; the Improvement springs from the confidence born In the moral action of the committee, and proves Irrefutably tho wisdom and propriety of tho presi dent's position, and the ultimate benefit to the nation when his views shall hare been translated Into laws." In the final analysis the people are the government. It Is and mint always he a reflex of their morals and opinions. This Mr. Roose velt has emphasized repeatedly In hie desire to maintain liberty, hon esty nnd virtue and to crush monopoly, corruption and vice. He holds wisely that In the citizen's adaptation of hla conduct to Intellectually ac cepted rules, to govern him In hla relations with the whole mass ot his fellow-citizens, Is a principle of primary and vital Importance. Ho holds that political conduct Rnd morals go hand In hand, and every citizen of worth agrees with him. THE COMMON SENSE WAR AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS. Every day la adding something new In equipment nnd In Interest to the warfare ot Science and humanity against the Great White Plague. Out of theory and warning, strong men are moving to vigorous and deflnlto action everywhere, Organizations are being perfected, literature distributed, government aid is being powerfully Invoked and everywhere the country Is at least awakening with commendable ear nestness to the necessity of action against this common enemy of us all. Now, for Instance, in the region of Philadelphia, the mill workers In Kensington, the greatest manufacturing district of America, will hear this week the beginning of a course ot noonday cart-end addresses on the best methods to prevent.and cure consumption. This Is the latest and most advanced .development In the crusade against the Great White Plague. The campaign will be made by the Kensington Free Dispen sary for the treatment of tuberculosis together with the Kensington branch of the Young Men's Christian Association. Dr. J. W. Irvin, su perintendent of the night clinics In the free dispensary, and William F. Burdick, field secretary ot tho Kensington Y. M. C. A., will make dally noonday addresses from the back ot a wagon. They will drive In rotation to the big plants In the manufacturing districts, making ad dresses at 2 o'clock dally until all have been visited. Then they will . turn around and go over the field Bgaln. The wagon will be fitted with a traveling antl-tuhcrculosis exhibition by the aid ot which explanation will bo made of the manner In which homes and shops may be kept free from tuberculosis. Another part ot the exhibition will show how tho consumptive, should be housed, fed, and protected against the danger of Infection himself and Infection to others. Among the startling truths that will be told by the speakers are these; Consumption costs the community of Philadelphia 120,000 a day or )?,000,000 a year. Consumption Is easily preventlble by an unstinted use of soap and water, and free admission Into homes and shops of fresh air and sunlight. It Is easily curable in Its first and early stagea by precaution against reinfection by the proper use of sputum cups and proper nourishment and regular sanitary habits. One-tenth of all the deathB la the United States and one-fourth ot all deaths occurring between the ages of 20 and 40 years arc caused by tuberculosis. In this practical and vigorous way the great question ot preven tion and cure will be brought home to the common intelligence of the country, and we commend with all our hearts this practical war fare to the people of Atlanta and of Georgia. Never until such practical steps are taken will we be able to eradicate the disease from the homes and living houses of the South. The lesson must be made plain. It must l>e Impressed upon the public mind as vital and the treatment of the disease must be drilled Into the minds of the people until we are once more free In this republic of this fearful plague which destroys so ruthlessly the life and hope ot our Southern homei. ANOTHER GEORGIA WOMAN HAS WON HER WAY IN LITERATURE. “Lafayette" McLaws, the author of "The Welding," an Important new American novel dealing with the welding of the nation after civil strife, Is an experienced writer whose Southern training and affiliations have afforded rather unusual opportunities for the study of conditions In that section. Lafayette McLaws Is the daughter of General Lafayette McLaws of Georgia and a native of Augusta. Her mother was Mins Taylor, of Lex ington, Ky„ a niece of Zachary Taylor. After the death of her parents, Miss McLaws resided with the late Mrs. Jefferson Davis In New York city, who looked upon her aa her ward. Those who recall that tho first wife of Jefferson Davis was the daughter of Zachary Taylor, and know of the devotion of the second Mrs. Davis to her husband’s mem ory, will readily understand why the latter would take a special Interest In this Southern author. "The Welding" Is published by Little. Brown & Co., Boston. Miss McLaws' previous novels Include "When the Land Was Young” and "Maid of Athens."
