WASHINGTON
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 5, 190F.
OfTicinl nnd resident society is
rapidlv driftimr back to Washinc
ton. The social season is of course
not 011 but what may be called the
neighborly season is begun. Nei
ther the houses nor their occupants
are prepared for anything verging
on ceremony or formality. Paint
ers, paperhangers, and decorators
are in most instances supreme in
the houses cf the fashionable West
End. Calling at odd hours or hold
ing conversations over the tele
phone are the privileges and pas
times of this season when domestic
rather than social questions are the
subject of interest. The President's
wife and daughters are of course,
and as usual inundated with invita
tions to join house parties nt coun
try homes but it is orobable that
they will spend the remainder of
tneir time trotn now until March,
barely five months, without much
interruption at the White House.
I be Roosevelt boys are settled for
the winter. None of them will be
at the White House. Ouentin.
the vouneest has iust been sent tr
a Loardiutr school at Alexandria
six miles distant from Washington.
1 nis leaves Mrs. Roosevelt in the
White House with her debutante
daughter, Miss Ethel who last sum
mer completed Her studies at school
in Washington and will this winter
take her place amonvr the much
courted young ladies of the season.
The form o! debut has not been de
cided upon nor has the time been
definitely selected. She will be
present however from now on at all
White House functions attending
the first dinner in D. cember when
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt
will entertaiu the Cabinet. From
that date on until the fourth of
March one need not hesitate to
wager that she will receive more iu-
vitations to a greater variety of
functions and eutertainments than
any young lady of the land.
The International Tuberculosis
Congress which is in session in
Washington is likely to have a
wide influence in this country on
the war asrainst the d read dispav
So recent is the discovery of tuber
cular Dacini that there is not a man
present at the Con press hnf wVirt
well remembers its entire history.
Dr. Koch, who was the original
discoverer, is himself present. Not
withstanding tne tact that the pro
gress in eliminating the disease is
considerable, as shown by the ex
hibits of all nations on view at the
Convention as compared with the
work yet to tie done it is triflintr
Some startling figures given by
Prot. Irvine Fisher or Vni
of the sessions demonstrate the ;m.
mensity of the task still before the
proiession and should prove an
awakening to the public of the ne
cessity of wide and concerted effort
of all classes if the white plague is
ever to be eradicated.
Prof. Irving has gathered statis
tics which show that consumption
kills 138,000 persons in the United
States every year. This is equal to
the deaths from scarlet fever, ty
phoid, diphtheria.appendicitis.meu

cer all put together. As it takes
about three years for the disease to
run its fatal course he estimates the
minimum cost of the items of doc
tor's bills, at $24.00, while the pos
sible "earning power" if life were
not cut short is put at eight thou
sand. If this multiplied by 138,000
the number of those afflicted, It
reaches the almost incalculable sum
of $1,000,000,000. He calulate's
that of this amount four thousand
millions fall on the family, friends,
or physicians of the victim and con
cludes by asserting that if one quar
ter of the lives are to be saved it
would be necessary to invest five
billions of dollars. Less than one
per ceat. of this money is now be.

JOHN G. McIIENRY,
Candidate for Second Congressional Term.
CONGRESSMAN'S McHENRY'S SPEECH.
From the Sliamokln Dispatch, Sept. twenty-fourth.
The Dispatch presented to It readers yesterday the full text of the aide
speech delivered before tlie Pennsylvania Hunkers' association at lied ford
SpriiiRs by Hon. John (L McHenry. who has so accep'uhly, and with rare lidel
ity to his duties, represented this district in the lower house of congress.
AHlofthe Dispatch readers may not agree with Congressman McHenrv'a
views on governmental guarantee of hank dexisiia. He prefaced his speech
with the announcement that he was aware that h 8 audience of hankers was
made up of men whose minds were already adversely tlxed on the views which
he was to present. Of them lie only asked their fair,' unbiased, deliberate judg
ment. That was a fair request and the Dispatch lias sullleieiitcontidetice in the
Intelligence of Its readers to believe that they ha,ve given Mr. McHenry'u speech
the careful and unprejudiced consideration which he asked of his audience.
Even tltose who may uilter with the
and clearly and lucidly presents, will
thought, undoubted candor and that the
the courage of his convictions.
The one thing above all others that
the hundreds of independent voters among his constituency is the fact that he
wears no man's collar but his own, and that he Is endowed with sulllcient brains
to do his own thinking and that he Is always ready to assume the entire iphix.ii-
sibilitv of his own utterances simply and
mar, jir. aicnenrv is not. a mere phonograph, reproducing the words and
idetis of others, is best known In this speech on the bankinir one, Hon and the

The speech shows the clear head, the keen mind und the courageous heart
of Its author. It afforded this critical audience an opportunity to take "the
measure of the man" and Hie verdict was greatly to his credit.
The Dispatch believes that it voices the sentiment of hundreds of its Inde
pendent readers in commending the meritorious wo k done In congress by Hon.
John O. McHenry. Hhamokln Is under special onligations to him for securing
the appropriation for its new federal building, but aboe and beyond all that he
has the warm admiration of the thinking men of all parties for the merited rec
ognition which he has gained by his brilliant services as the representative of
his congressional district.
iug used for the purpos;. In pre
paring this coldly statistical review
of the loss in dollars and cents the
professor does not forget to men
tion the more important cost in
broken hearts and disappointed
lives which cannot be measured.
Five million persons now in the
United States are doomed to fill
consumptives graves unless the cru
sade can be made more effective.
In another paper on the diet for
consumptives he upset one of the
theories upon which many sanitoria
are now working namely that the
victim of pulmonary tuberculosis
must be fed and os'er fed and stuff
ed like Strasburg geese. From the
experiments of Professor Chitten
den of Yale who has demonstrated
that athletes have greater strength
and endurance when taken off of a
meat and egg diet he has proved to
his own satisfaction that consump
tives do best on a moderate diet of
non-pro'eid foods.
Theagreement between thiscoun
try and Great Britain that letters
to England, Ireland, Scotland nnd
Wales will need only a two cent
stamp instead of a five cent as
heretofore went into effect Thurs
day. At present the new rate of
postage applies only to the British
Isles but eventually it may be ex
tended so as to include all of the
British possessions and it may be
that in a few years one may send
letters to South Atrica or India for
the same postage that is required
for a letter to be delivered in one's
home town. The remarkable re
duction in rates was agreed upon
between the two nations as the best
means of promoting commercial
and friendly relations between the
United States and Great Britain and
it is quite certain that before long
Germany, France and italy will be
asking for a similar arrangement
with regard to letter mail in those
countries. Postmaster General
Meyer is entitled to most of the
credit for" th's change.
