Strikes and Presidential elections do not come
together by accident. When ii great political
campaign approaches, the labor agitators and
organizers start out early 10 foster the disputes
10y which they thrive. Ii is but human nature
TO embrace the opportunity for getting more
proht III few months than they can get III the
rest of the four years, and such opportunities
are not often wanting. If all men were we'll ac-
quainted with political conditions and prospects
the field of the agitalOr would be narrow in
year like this, the denomination and reelection
of the President being considered so probable
that plans for his defeat hardly deemed
practicable by the kind of men who DO cold
business" But there j. large body OF voters
in this country who DO not know very much of
political conditions and being largely of foreign
birtL not especially quick TO discover the
trend Of American opinion. They have intense
feeling regarding the relations between labor
and capital, in many cases brought with them
from abroad, and organizations where such
subjects are discussed without the assistance Of
publicity. What they told in private and
led 10 believe does not always come TO light and
meet comparison with facts until it is too late.
IL does not often happen that the practical
American votes away his own prosperity. When
that rare thing occurs. analysis shows that ii Is
not the average farmer who gives that proof Of
the ignorance with which he is so often cred
tied, nor the average business man of the cities
and towns To men of these classes il has gen

CHOLERA AND FAMINE.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your cable dispatch of to-day regarding the
outbreak of cholera at the famine camps of Mandi-
wee, Godhra and BToach, In the Gujarat country:
the death rate Of four hundred In three DAYS at
Mandivee and the panic at Goehra and Broach can
be best un ierstooG by the fact that these camps
are either in or adjacent to large cluster ma
tive States. Though the Government of India has
been liberal with them in loans of money and OFF,
GERS yet indifference to human life and mismanage-
ment in most Of the States has made conditions
far worse than In British territory, where helm a
more Systematically and efficiently given. There
is therefore, large exodus from native States to
British territory of the famine stricken large num-
bers of whome arrive camps too emaciated TO
recover even with tie most careful treatment At
Ahmedabad the death rate month ago from
causes due 10 starvation was sixty-two per thou
sand week In the weak condition OF the people
II is not surprising that cholera should break out
frail hus at Godhra and exposed the people to the
effects OF the damp. month ago the death rate
from starvation in the whole of lnda's famine area
had reached probably a million a month. What
further havoc cholera will cause II Is fearful TO
contemplate May is the month for local thunder
for tilage. II will create ndescribabe discomfort
To the $4,000 On relief works. and render them
the more liable to disease from exposure 10 damn

THE SCIENTIFIC VIEW vs.. PREJCDICE.

1t is often said that the acute foreign observer
of experience among people is a more accurate
Judge OF their tendencies than any one of them
can be. He looks straight at a political issue
and judges ii by its merits unaffected by the
political Drejudices which often control the
views of those taking part in the controversy.
II is worth while, therefore. TO note the opinions
about our doingS Of foreigners who are able TO
see things in perspective as we who have n
share in them arc often. with the best and most
patriotic intentions enable to do. For this
reason we call n. niOn TO the views of Mr.. A.
Maurice Low about the Porto Rican BILL ex-
pressed in his account of The Month in Amer
lea" in The National Review" for May Mr.
Low thinks that we went at legisating for the
dependencies in. rather a bungling way for a
people of political shrewdness and foresight
and comments upon it "a strange fact that
only comparatively few Of the Republican lead
ers realized what was at stake In the Porto
Rican legislation. and that the Administration
should not at first have seen the impOssibility
OF making laws for Porto Rico which should
have no bearing the Philippine problem
Finally the party was brought to understand
the danger of inviting the people 'tO have the
character of their Nation changed by the up
building Of semi-civzed States entitled to full
citizenship and political power" and accord
lUelH Ill ai1tTtu HS pOlitN fouttTHlHH IOrtO RlcO
OF the present attitude Of people Mr. Low
says:
They think there is some strange magic OF
benefcence in the words American citizen"
and constitutional rights" According to the
popular notion. II is cruel and wicked to deny
