-Malty arKuments are udvaiired In favor of a sing*- term In the White

too much if it does prevail. f
We are aaked .o believe that a president without hope of a second

Roosevelt nominated Taft
Now as to Mr Wilson He has b«-n elected as a Democrat, and will
surround himself with Democratic advisors. The patronage at his dis
posal Will be distributed among Democrats, and It will be his desire to be
Miccredcd by a Democrat So that whether the contest comes In I9IG.
under the present arrangement, or in 1918. under the proposed six-year
term, we Khali see Mr Wilson Interested In It. nnd with Influence on the
Democratic nominal lon
A* a matter of fan. the most Interesting speculation of the day re
lates 10 the question of who will be Mr. Wilson's legatee In case he Is
limited to one term by constitutional amendment. or accept mice by him
of the llryan dictum laid down nt Baltimore. Will It he Mr. Bryan, who
has made Mr Wilson: Mr. I nd* rwood. to whom Mr Wilson Is cottoning
very suspiciously, or some man not now in the public eye? Noliody seems
to ilnulit that Mr Wilson will play a favorite, and will play him to the
full extent of ihe presidential power.
URBAN AND BUBAL TYPHOID FEVER.
There s*‘etns to be a wide-spread belief that typhoid fever is pecu
liarly a disease of .mall communities. The regular autumnal Increase
In this disease In most cities Is even referred by some w-rlters to Infec
tion contracted during a vacation "In the epualry. Whatever the Im
portance of ’■vacation typhoid"--aud there Is no reason to think It has
hern overeat Imu ted—there ran be no doubt that, contrary to (topulor
opinion. In some lorslltles typhoid la more prevalent In urban rotnnjunl
tle«. .
The Incidence of typhoid fever In city and country communities in
several New Knglnnd states has been recently studied by Sedgwick. Tay
lor ufid MarKtitt The*© authors conclude that as far as the state of
MusNactiUHcttß is concerned typhoid could not be said to ho a rural dis
ease Ju the «4jihtccn years prior to 1908. hut whs on the contrary dis
tinctly more prevalent In urban communities. In Connecticut a similar
condition existed, but In New Hampshire It appeared that there was no
tnarlyd difference In this respect between rulnr nnd urban groups Be
fore |h9ii, as these authors point out. typhoid deaths In both Massachu
setts and Connecticut were more prevalent In proportion to the |>opuln-
Hon In the country than In the rity districts.
It Is not difficult to understand these result*. The death-rate from
typhoid fever de|»ends more on other factor* than on city nnd country
conditions as such. A large city with polluted water-supply may main
tain a constantly higher typhoid fever rate than the adjacent county*
towns und rural districts. On the other hand a city with a good water
supply. a pasteurized milk-supply and a proper system of disposing of cx
cretal refuse will to-dn> almost certainly have less typhoid fever than
the smuller communities in its Immediate neighborhood. Probably few
place* in the Cniied Stales, large or small, will have so low a death-rate
tront typhoid for the year l!*12 ns Chicago aud Cleveland.
Improper methods of disponing of excreta in the country, with the nt.
tcudnut, danger of fly Infection, would seem to favor the spread of typhoid
fever in rural district*, but a counterbalancing factor Is the contact with
:i large number of persons which is characteristic of city life nnd would
tend to increase the opportunities for Infection In cities through the
agency of carriers or convalescents. There Is no reason whv a uniform dif
ference between eltv ami country should he expected. We cannot gener
alize by (inserting that typhoid fever Is more prevalent in either the city
or the country. In some regions the factors that make for infection are
more active in the large communities of those regions than the Hmall
communities; in others the reverse Is true. Country or city life Itself Is
in one way determinative of typhoid fever Infection, according to The
Journal of-the American Medical Association, nnd It is confusing to de
* lare that typhoid Is today either an urban or a rural disease.

NEW WAYS OF EVANGELISTS
Departure From Old Time Meth

They certainly hnve speeded up the
gospel wagon hereabouts. ICvery ou*»
bus aeeu the old fashioned noon day
evangelist at work. He usually stands
upou n soop box. he is ao mutinies

ho Is always earnest, but often re
grettably greasy Also, a good many
of bun have the hubti of passing the
hat by proxy before the wary audi
ence can make Its get-away. The
most elaborate old time outfit only
ran to a cottugo organ U> a wagon.
The wagou always wheezed and thu
organist knew only the sad tunes
with a universe full of Joyous melo
dies to pick from. They don't do it
that way auy more Street evangel
ism Is on the first speed, along with
everything else. Every noon nowa
days an up-to-date entertainment com
mittee can be seen front the windows
of the T1 mes-Star office at work on
Madlsou square, say# the New York
correspondent of that paper. The
evangelist rides to his dally task In
a taxicab and wbeu It is his time
to speak ho stands on the front saat
und steadies himself by holding to the
driver's head. In the cab are from
three to five good looking women—
good looking; get that? —who can

accompanied by a cornetlat who is a
real artist. They slug regular sougs.

rendlly enough prepare themselves u '

equipment as that possessed by tbs
regular high school candidates. They
