Mr. Ratliff on the Tuberculin Test. In a communication to an evening paper, Mr. Walter Ratliff attacked the tuberculin test as applied to dairy herds as protection against tuberculosis. His arguments are a curious compound of special pleading, misinformation and sophistry. He speaks of advocates of the test as "theorists and agitators." At their last national convention the beef packers voted out $100,000 of hard cash, part of which is to be used in persuading stock raisers to use the tuberculin test. The city of Chicago has passed an ordinance making it compulsory. Pennsylvania has a state law to the same effect. Denmark has made the test compulsory throughout the land. The state veterinarian department of Indiana and the federal department of animal industry have both declared its necessity in no uncertain terms. Are these "theorists" and "agitators?" Next he declares it will raise the price of milk. The tuberculin test will lower the price of milk. Since by its use it stamped out tuberculosis, Denmark has been able to compete with English dairymen on the London markets. Their milk supply and butter fat were both increased. Does insurance inspection increase the rate of fire insurance? Does building inspection raise rents? Does vaccination swell doctor bills? Everybody knows that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure ; and cheaper.

He says man is not susceptible to ine tuberculosis, or at least that such hr, i;ot been proved. If that hasn't been proved nothing ever will be. Every sanitarian of standing in the country knows that bovine tuberculosis affects man. Statistics have already been compiled to show the actual percentage of cases resulting from tuberculous cattle. Next he asks the unreflecting question, If there is so much danger now why didn't our forefathers perish from it before the discovery of tuberculin ? Mr. Ratliff should know that tuberculosis is almost entirely confined to dairy herds. Where two or three cows are kept in a large meadow and not housed up together there is little or no danger, but where twenty-five to fifty or a hundred head are jammed into a dairy barn and eat and drink out of the same trough and breathe the same air and stand shoulder to shoulder, one tuberculous cow may in time infect an entire herd. Investigations have shown over and over again that in the same regions where dairy herds are badly infected farmers' stock running loose and seldom together are almost free of the malady. The reason our forefathers didn't perish from a dairy disease was simply because they didn't have dairies. Besides, they did perish and in numbers how large nobody knows. The notion that people were healthier in "the good old days" is a good old fallacy and contains not a grain of truth. Mr. Ratliff argues that the test is not "conclusive." Government experts have called it "the most perfect diagnostic agent known to man." After twenty-three years of use it has been found 97 per cent effective. He also advances the astonishing contention that there is danger from using the milk from a

cow under the test. This is absolutely groundless. To a healthy cow it is as harmless as air and in a diseased one has no more effect on the milk than if the veterinarian used water in the injection. He complains that the test requires a dairyman's time. The dairyman does not make the test; why should it require his time for something he does not do? He points out that meat is eaten from tuberculous cattle. Sometimes it is. If an infected cow is killed under federal regulations and has a localized infection her meat is as healthful as any other. Nature has tied the germs up in a sack where they can't harm the tissues. And when they are not in the tissues they can't get into a human stomach. In the Richmond butcher shops at this moment there are doubtless more than one tuberculous carcass hung up for sale. In conclusion, Mr. Ratliff says "the consumer pays." Of course, he does. If the consumer's baby is stricken with meningitis or intestinal tuberculosis he pays. If his own body carries about a localized infection of bovine origin he is paying every day by devitalized constitution. And in paying eight cents a quart for milk the consumer is now paying for the lack of the tuberculin test. Infected cattle cannot produce the quantities that healthy stock can. The less the quantity from his herds the higher is the dairyman's price for his milk. If the consumer is wise and wants to save his money he will insist that no milk be sold in Richmond except from tested herds.

An Actors Union. G. B. Shaw, dramatist, Irishman, wit and general bureau of information for the universe at large, delivered a characteristic lecture at London recently in which he advocated with his usual incisiveness the formation of an actors' union. This distinguished playwright told his actor hearers they were as much subject to supply and demand as fish. When good actors are many pay goes down, when stars are few pay goes up. Therefore, argued he, form a union in order to prevent scale cutting by incompetent persons. Mr. Shaw again likened actors to fish by saying that many actresses receive good pay not for high class work but for good looks, and good looks, he urged, won't "keep" long. If players are wise, therefore, they will endeavor to develop talent rather than striking appearances, because talent is usually like wine and grows better with age. He paid his compliments to the "star" system, now in vogue, in a manner not at all complimentary. It is all wrong and vicious, he declared, and fastens the audience's attention on the player instead of the play. Further than that it breeds discord among players because they continually play to the crowd and not with each other. If some shrewd individaul catches the ear of the audience he will go to lengths to cover up good work done by a fellow actor in order to monopolize applause. Mr. Shaw's chief remedy for all the ills the stage is heir to is combination. "Form an actors' union," he urged; "the doctors have raised the standard of their profession by that method, have eliminated quacks, and established themselves in the confidence of the public. So can you. Go and do likewise." We believe Mr. Shaw's idea is a good one but think more could be done if the auditors would form a union. The theatre can best be controlled from the box-office end.

Editor The Palladium: Dear Sir la tonight's issue vol have a symposium ot' yesterday s elnlion results. I am quoted as savin, among other things, that I could to: give and forget, and that I would gi back to my job and brush up in iou. years for another attempt. I wish to deny making those stat Hunts. I da not censure the youn.rr.ui: who came down into iieaHo viev to g-t U.t interview, for he is ui. douttedly a coming: newspaper mai. HLs write-up is good, and from th. point of vn",v of any one but a Socialist would b" ijuite a nice litt!blowup. Hut it puts me in a false position with the Socialist voters. We nevi ; st t k office, neither the nomination or election. I sought neither in the campaign just closed, and in Tour years:, oar candidate will be chosen in the same way. 1 have nothing to forgive or forget. My memories of the campaign will be pleasant, as I hae bee:: very well treated by all parties, and i have no regrests to cherish. 1 admit the election result was disappointing, but many causes contributed to tne result. Our method of campaigning gave many the impression that we were indifferent; also many or our sympathizers voted for one of the others in

ju desperate effort to oust Mr. Zimmerman. Then, the town is not ready for I Socialism. The working class is not

hungry enough. Hut let our present little industrial depression continue a while and some men will begin to wonder why they are not allowed to operate the machinery for making threshing outfits and engines, though there are thousands of points where these could be put to good use. And then those men will be ripe for our agitator to agitate off the tree of capitalism into the harvesting basket of Socialism. Our campaign opened this morning, not for office, but to educate our fellow workmen to a belief in Socialism. Our headquarters are open just as they were yesterday, and any one is welcome to come up. We should have a good local organization before the state campaign opens, and could then run a ticket with some chance of effective campaigning. Yours truly, CHARLES A. SEUI.
