New York is setting the pace with a rpform administration which is the wonder and admiration of the country. Buffalo, has made such a strong appeal to the New York assembly for commission rule that Its success seems certain. The Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce, at the end of a year's study has recommended commission government for that graftridden city. . Milwaukee, seeking honest government, turned the city over to, the socialists. Boston has a new charter of a new kind. St. Liouis has one in Incubation. Last week fifteen Kansas towns voted for the new kind of .government which is already In force In dozens of, towns from Massachusetts to 'Colorado. Economy and business conduct of business affairs are always the ends sought. Graft, useless Jobs, lazy jobholders and extravagance are always the evils warred on. Misgoverned American cities are learning. The Society of Municipal Research ' In New York . and the League of American Municipalities have labored to good purpose. Cltlsens art enlightened. '. V Relief of Old Horses. From the Boston Traveler. Every lover of and' sympathizer with dumb animals will rejoice at the .progress that Is being made In the movement for the relief of old horses. It is a pitiful sight to see an aged and decrepit horse dragging his scarred and weary body about as an annex to the ramshackle wagon of some ped dler or rag collector who by no chance . will properly care for him and bought him for a song only to work him to death.' One day the old animal falls in the street and Is unable to rise. The ' bullet that becomes hia portion soon after is the most merciful thing, he has known for months. The division of old horse relief of the Boston WorkHorse. Parade' Association has been active In securing from business con corns their assurance that horses will not be sold after their value becomes $50. which Is the amount agreed as that at which a horse had really pass ed his usefulness.

THE NATION'S WEALTH. Next -Sunday is "Tuberculosis Sunday" and from one end of the land to the other Ministers of every religion will be preaching the modern crusade against the "Great White Plague." Tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of men and women will hear of the ravages of this "Disease of the Tenements," this output of the modern factory. - President Taft in his letter to the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and the Governors of fifteen states by proclamation or open letters have given to this campaign for health, strong official indorsements, which will make many converts to the cause of reform in the administration of our health laws, Federal and State.' , , The annual loss from tuberculosis in this country has been estimated at 160,000 lives and $6,000,000,000 is the cost of this sacrifice computed in money. But the encouraging fact in connection with this whole dread business of preventable disease net prevented, of curable diseases not cured, is the fact that preaching for reform is going steadily on and that press, pulpit and public are coming to the point where common sense and scientific knowledge are dally being applied more widely to" lengthen out the span of human life. Of all the plans of doctors and laymen for the , prevention of .tuberculosis none has in it greater, merit and promise of such far , reaching results as that proposed by Senator Owen for the creation of a National Department of Public Health. It Is not that the National Government is inactive and that it is not spending money. The Public Health and Marine Hospital Service as a Bureau has been in existence for over a hundred years and has in that time done some most effective work,'notably In suppressing yellow fever and over fifteen million dollars are annually appropriated to eight different departments at Washington for the prevention of disease. But this money fails to bring in the proper returns because the work is scattered. There is lack of co-ordination between all these governmental bureaus, effective co-operation is absent, acd the result is seen in our national death rate disgracefully high. ; " "As a nation we have been too busy building up our vast manufactures and business enterprises to pay much heed to the cost we were paying in accident, disease and death. We have been wasteful of our greatest national asset the health of the nation, as we have been wasteful of our great natural resources. It is time to stop and take count, to notice what price we are paying, to see whether industrial supremacy is not costing too much, not only in wasted ljves and needless sorrow and suffering, but In cold bare dollars and cents. , It is a case not for sentimentality and theorising, but for hard common sense and the practical application of such knowledge as we now have. Every public health officer in the land, from the official in whose v keeping s the health of the smallest town, to the Commissioners ot Health of our greatest States, should be able to turn to a full-fledged, properly equipped and widely experienced Department in Washington for advice, support and relief. In many cases the health of whole communities is now endangered for lack of a central department able to ' advise with authority and of sufficient prestige to have its requests listened to with attention. As the National Department of Agriculture has been of incalculable benefit to' the farmer. and to the State- Departments of Agriculture, so would a National Department of Health help the state and municipal governments to carry into every household and factory in the land, the new gospel of fresh air, of decent bousing, of factory legislation and of ' wages sufficient to enable the wage earner to maintain what we like to regard as an "American Standard" of comfort.

Taggart Versus Beveridge" Campaign Issue

Democratic Boss Has Definitely Announced That He Is a Ca Against French Lick Boss.

Indianapolis, April 21. Now that it is known that Tom Taggart is in reality a candidate for United States senator it looks like the coming campaign might be fought out on the issue of Taggart against Beveridre. The first nnsitive etatemant o T,.ra.. .f - v v n&gjn woa a candidate was made in these dispatches several days ago and the statement was based on information which was absolutely correct This was the first publication of the fact in any

newspaper, and it was regarded herejd0ne by the anti-Taggart fellows to

as a good newsDarter scoon. for the question of whether or not Taggart ! would be a candidate for senator was the one thing that the politicians on both sides were unable to figure out and it had them up in the air. They all realized that Tagaart's decision on this matter would probably mean much in the campaign, and the poli ticians were-watching him like hawks. When the news of his determination to get in the race was printed in this paper they understood at once that the Question had been settled, so that the publication in this clfry yesterday of the same statement failed to cause much of a stir. There is no disguising the fact-that the republicans are hoping that if the democratic convention, next week nominates a candidate for United States senator it will select Taggart as such candidate..? They would wel come a campaign in which the issue would-be Taggart or Beveridge. What Indiana, would do with the democrats under such a condition would be . a plenty. Taggart's decision to become a candidate has caused a big mix-up in the democratic ranks. The announcement has set many of the democrats by the ears and has made them more determined than ever to squelch Taggart by beating him as a candidate for senator. It has now gone even so far as to bring forth a statement that the name of John W, P;rn will be brought out as a candidate against Taggart. Everybody that knows anything about Indiana politics knows what this means. It means a fight inside the party that will probably outdo any fight that has taken place in recent, years. Kern was defeated for senator two years ago and he has always blamed Taggart for his defeat. Kern had been Indorsed by many of the counties of the state, and ''his friends claimed that on an open1 ballot and in" a fair fight he would have won easily. But when the democratic members of the legislature held their caucus to name a senator It was decided through the Taggart influence to make the choice by a secret ballot, and this plan was followed. The secret ballot was used and Kern was defeated and Shlvely elected. , Immediately afterward Kern raise the cry that he had been double crossed by the Taggart crowd. He charged in an open letter that there had been barefaced treachery and that some of the legislators who had given him their iron bound promises had succumbed to the Taggart influence and voted against him. Ever since then Kern has had a grouch and has never lost an opportunity to take a whack at Taggart. The bitterness '.; between these two democratic leaders is ferocious. 4 Either would do anything to whip the other in a political game. And this is one of the things that is going to make trouble next week when the Question comes up as to whether the state convention shall select a candidate for United States senator. Kern has said all along that he would not be a candidate for senator. He said he was through with running for office, and that he could not afford to take another nomination for anything. But it is said that in this case his name will be presented as a candidate for senator whether

The first was; There is a story out now to the effect Dq you favor the repeal of the counthat Taggart would not much care it ty option Jaw?" The second was: the state convention should decide to I it elected, will vou use vr.nr ffnrts

make a nomination, because he believes he has things so well lined up that he could win out Another reason why he might be willing to allow the scheme to go through is that Tag1 gart hates John E. Lamb so bitterly that he would be glad to have a chance to give him a hard bump. Taggart is saying . now that .the scheme to have the state convention make a nomination for senator is not the plan of Governor Marshall, but that it is Lamb's scheme. Taggart, followers insist that its. defeat at the convention could not be construed as a slap at the governor unless the governor should get out on the floor of the convention and make a fight and lose. It Is not at all likely that the governor will do this. Therefore, Taggart figures that if the convention adopts resolutions indorsing Governor Marshall and, his administration Jn glowing terms and then ignoring or turning down the proposition of nominating a candidate for senator. , This being done," Taggart believes he can then deliver the blow that will put Lamb down and out and clear the way for his own . nomination. This would please Taggart immensely, for Lamb has developed into the most rampant advocate of the governor's plan. - , ..- - But now that Kern's name has- been injected into the senatorship fight it is hard to tell what the result may be. Kern has a large and loyal following among the rank and file In the state How the Other MRS. F. W.

and he may be able to give Taggart a run for his money. But viewing the situation as it stands at present it does not look like anyone can beat Taggart. Ha looks like the winner, Just wbere the man is to come from that will beat him is the question. He has not shown up among the present candidates. . Therefore, It looks like the big issue of the campaign will be: Do you want Taggart or Beveridge for United States senator? It will be up to the republicans, candldetes for state of fi - to prevent the repeal of the comfy option law?" - The letter also said, according to this story, that unless he received a favorable answer; over the genuine signature of the recipient of the letter Hanly would regard such silence as an admission that such person would be in favor of the repeal of the county option law. Whether he has received any answers to the letter is not known as Hanly declines to discuss the mat ter. Just what Hanky's move means uestion and the politicians who is a c have heard of it do not understand what be bas up his sleeve. It is said that he is not working in connection with the Anti-Saloon league in the campaign. He and E. S. Shuraaker, the state superintendent of the. league are close together nd are working together, It is said, but the state organization Is controlled by a headquarters committee, and It is understood that this committee is not working with Hanly and Shuinaker. Hanly and Shumaker are in favor of making a fight for state wide prohibition, but it is understood that the headquarters committee Is not In favor of entering upon such a fight at this time. ; It was said last night that John E.
