PITTsBURG. TUESDAY. SEPT. H. 1921
TWELVE PAGES
THE GOVERNOR SHOULD ACT.

The disposition of the Governor to rely
on the means prepared for fighting the
cholera, as indicated in his reply TO an in
quiry whether he would take action for
raising temporary loan, is disappointing.
1t shows that Governor Pattison hardly
appreciates the gravity of the situation
and the importance OF having everything
in readiness to fight the disease if it makes
an appearance.
We have the testimony of the State
Board of Health that it is unsupplied with
the funds necessary to make vigorous
campaign, if it should become necessary.
The great and wealthy State of Penn
sylvania has so stinted its sanitary organi-
zation that in the time of need it is unable
to provide the means of isolation and pro-
lection that Ohio and West Virginia have
in readiness. Any care for the protection
of the people will take urgent measures to
supply this need. 1t is true that it is nee
ess }ry to go outs ide the regular routine to
raise the money; but the precedent set
in the Johnsuown case fully covers
the present emergency. The need is not
less imperative, as it involves the health
of 5000 people, and the requirement for
prompt action is equally urgent Ii is be-
vond question that if the Governor will
take action the sum of $4,000 necessary
to PIT the sanitary authorities in fighting
trim can be raised in a few hours. There
should not be another days delay in
doing so.
AT this writing it is reported that case
of cholera has been discovered at jean
nette Ii is TO be hoped that the report
will prove unfounded; but the possibility
Illus teS the neeI of action. With the
State Board in funds it can take such
promrG measures of isolation and disin-
fection that single case need not give
any ground for alarm. With its action
hampered for lack Of funds a single case
may b. the starting point of disastrous
epidemic.
The Governor should act to raise the
money needed for vigorous fight against
cholera wherever it appears without an
other hours delay -.-

NO NEED OF PANIC.

Two opinions on the cholera were pub
lished last week, both of which have no
slight value. Prof. Virchow, of Berlin,
whose scientific position and special
studies of the disease give him especial
authority, rendered one of them. Sir
Edwin Arnold, who has been familiar
with it in India, gives the other. Both
are valuable as showing the methods of
fighting the disease publicly and privately
and as showing the needlessness of panic.
Virchow's authority that thorough quar-
antine will stop the cholera is reassuring
The difficulty is not in arresting the
disease, if quarantine is efficient, but in
making quarantine so efficient that no
loopholes will be left by favoritism or neg
ligence. 1t is importa mt to learn that alb
soIute quarantine gives sure prote ction
against this disease. 1t is also interesting
to have the assurance of Virchow that
"cholera is less dangerous than diphtheria
and other diseases which cause less COM
motion"
To the same tenor is Sir Edwin Arnold's
statement from his experience. He says
it is ga disease of dirt and cowardice. 1t

"Drink," he says, "no milk or water that
has not been boiled, scald your vegetables
and take five drops of hydrochloric acid
in half cup of hot tea and you can walk
unharmed in the midst of cholera" Cold
weather, he asserts, will check the dis
ease.
These authorities give us every reason
to hope that the disease will not become
epidemic in this country, this year at
least With vigilant fight made against
it at quarantine, with energetic work done
in the way of cleaning up all our cities,
and with the frost season near at hand,
the probabilities are very much against its
getting any headway this fall. But the
same constant vigilance will have to be
exerted all the winter and all next sum-
mer to prevent its spread next year.

UNATTRACTIvE FUNDS.

The political project of the New York
World to raise fund which shall capti-
vate the doubtful voters of the North
west, and thus give the World first
mortgage on the expected Democratic ad-
ministration, has struck a new obstacle.
1t fell early into the sere and yellow leaf
of half-doIlar and dime contributions; but
the new trouble is such as bids fair to
make the doubtful voter refuse to deal
with the World fund at any price.
Contemporaneously with the raising of
this fund, the Worlds enterprise has
undertaken the function of sending re-
porters to violate the quarantine and to
open communications with the people on
the quarantined steamers. The notes
which come from the infected vessels lie
cheek by iowl as it were with the drafts,
checks or other negotiable papers which
are to charm the voters of doubtful
States. This is strictly calculated to
give the World no pleasing reputa-
ton with the expected recipients.
'tNon oIet'' is an old proverb as applied
to money; but when the currency may
carry cholera germ it is justifably in bad
odor. A draft of cold air is bad tor some
people, but a monetary draft that comes
from the same drawers as the missives
from the Normannia has much more fatal
possibilities.
No doubt people in the Northwest might
be found to accept the Worlds funds
under ordinary conditions; but it would be
a decidedly appropriate ending of its
pending projects if everyone should de-
velop the instincts of virtue and self-pres-
ervation to the extent of declining to
touch the currency which carries such
possibilities as the comma bacillus.

AN ENGLISH EXAMPLE

The recent failure of some large build
ing and loan associations in England,
which are the counterpart of the national
organizations in this country, calls atten-
ton to what The DISPATCH pointed out
as the danger in such organizations, ca rly
in the history of their formation. The
same danger has been demonstrated in
this country, though fortunately to less
extent than seems to- be the case in
England
The national associations find their
rutsos a. etro in the ability to collect sub
scriptions and lend money all over the
country. This widened scope permits
money to be taken from where it is plenty
and loaned where it is scarce But
against this advantage is the fact that the
success Of local building and loan associa-
tions lies in the thorough knowledge of
the security on which money is lent, and
the strict supervision over all the opera
tions These safeguards it is impossible
to establish to the same degree in the
national associations Every holder Of q
single share in local organization has
data on which he can determine the value
of the property loaned on, the disposition
Of the associations money and the care of
itE arrangements. Not even the officers of
an organization whose operations are scat
tered over a dozen States ,an know its
condition with the same thoroughness.
Not only are the opportunities flor dis
honesty multiplied in geometric ratio by
the expansion of the field of operations,
but without any deliberate malversation
loans may be made on overestimated
security, collections may be hard to OBJ
tain and the organization finally falls into
Inprosperous circumstances This is the
case in England, where failures to the

ment, the most criminal charge In any

state of affairs.
1t is possible for building and loan asso-
Citations on the national scope to be man
aged honestly and successfully. We are
glad to believe that there are eminent
illustrations of that fact But the strict
supervision which makes the local associa-
tions a near approximation to absolute
security cannot be attained as fully in the
larger organizations.

by quarantine officials receive a certificate

it will still be incumbent on local authori-

THERE is horror enough in the actual

every medical man who comes into contact
with symptoms warranting suspicion to in
vestigate che case or cases most thoroughly,
and give the public warning or reinsurance
according to the result of his diagnosis.
