FILTH AND DISEASE.

7 DER THE SOMEWHAT STARTLING title,
/ THE End of the Filth Theory of Disease" DIR.
- Charles Y. Chaplin OF New York has an interest
ing article in the Popular Science Monthly for Janu-
AIRY. One would naturally suppose, from the subject
OF his paper, that Dr. Chapm had reached the conclu
sion that filth Is not breeder of disease. This is not
altogether a correct assumption, the text of the
article shows.
Although ne says he has abandoned the idea that
1t Is possible to contract disease through filth, Dr..
Chaplin declares he has not abandoned his fight against
filth Its proper disposal he declares, has much to do
with the prevention of communicable diseases Good
sewerage well swept streets prompt scavengng, public
baths and clean enements are all most desirable in the
opinion of the writer.

and vegetable matter. IS popularity supposed. They
are all communicated from the first person infected
and therefore, isolation IS the proper preventive I'm
fortunately the doctor doesn't tell us how the original
unfortunate contracted the disease from which not
only his generation, but future generations desire to
guard themselves.

as seriously he takes himself. Even if he should
succeed in convincing medical men and others that
there IS connection between filth the term is gem

POLITICS The COUNCIL.

VI THIN A FEW DAYS the new city council viii
w take Office. Indications already numerous
that the large Republican majority Is going to
rroye unwieldv row of more than appreciate di-
mansions is ON over the presidency Of the council an
honor which seems likely create much more bitter
ness than its importance merits. Members Cf the ma
ort, have been making threats as to what they VIII
and vii not do to gentlemen who side against them,
and Overures being made 10 the Democrats Tor sup
port b. the factions
It should not make the slightest difference to any
Democratic member whether John j. Thomas or Ar
thur J. Davis is selected president. In view of the
fact that both are Republicans, it would seem the part
of wisdom and dignihed common sense for the Demo
Gratis 70 let the other fellows do their fighting and
settle their own battles OF course, if they effect
an arrangement with the Davis-Robertson or the
Thomas crowd whereby Democratic president can be
elected that would be worth while.
The suggestion IS thrown out, though, as a bit OF
pleasantrv for whatever the Republicans promise they
are not going TO WELD inch Ct real power to the
Democrats under any conditions Therefore, 1t IS we'll
for the latter gang their ain ways If the majority
cannot settle the question of the presidency 1t should
remain unsettled No point of policy Is involved moth
ing that can help hurt the welfare of the municipal
ity.
There are many ways in which the minority can
make Itself useful to the city. Its members Will be
able to safeguard the treasury by protesting against
and calling attention to reckless expenditures of money.
They cam IN many instances, block peruicous egisla
ton and they can prevent few obstinate among
the majority from impeding work that would rebound
to the public welfare.
The Democrats cannot hope to do credit to them
selves to their party by posing ObstructOnists
When matter that any man with brains can see Is
good, originates from the other side of the house, it
viii be the duty of the Democrats to work with the Re
pubcans for. they represent all the people just
much do their confrere of the other side We fear
such measures will be uncommon, but when they do
come up the Democrats should aid IN their passage
ard completion
Too much politics has always been apparent in the
council For the sake of saving making petty places
for partisan friends side the other has often
committed itself to policies which its members knew
to be wrong. Alliances such as these can never prosper
long. The man who expects to n Ike good councilman
should Law aside all questions of patronage and do his
individual best regardless of clamor for the right as
Il - given to him to see the right.

I NGLAND'S GREATEST BUILDER of ships Sir
Christopher Furness, has upset some of the argu-
ments used by the advocates of the Eye ship
subsidy bill When it comes to shpbuildng, Sir Chris
opher is thoroughly at home and his reflections after
spending three months in the United States looking at
ship yards, worth listening to- Just before he
boarded Liyerpoolbouud steamer, the Englishman
expressed the opinion that this cOuntrys merchant
marine would soon be re-established.
Curiousy enough, he didn't base the theory the
possibility of government aid On the contrary ne said
that the cheaper materials on this side of the water
will enable Americans to float vessels at far less ex-
pense than their English cousins. Sir Christopher
could for the assertion that labor Is
dearer in this country than in his own As the part
of five ship yards he able to point out that
he has many men who earn wages high those
paid for the class of work in the United States
More than this. he said the Scotch and English
labor not efficient American and the hours Of
work there are shorter. Steel, which enters so
largely into the makeup of modern vessels Is produced
much cheaply in the United States than in Great
Britain So impressed Is Sir Christopher with what
he here that he Is going to take interest in some
American ship yards He thinks the work can be done
at profit and then, if the subsidy is added he will be
so much the gamer.
Regarding the steel feature of the argument it Is
stated and truthfuy so, that the steel trust lays down
Its product IN England cheaper than it sells the same
material at home That should not make any difference
for the Louisville CourerJourna makes clear the
American shp-buider can buy American steel abroad
if he wishes and pay the freight back The home
product cannot exceed IN the British product with
the flight added and the home builder is at least
an equality IN this respect with the foreigner.
There Is no tariff tax on imDorations of ship
building material so that item need not enter into the
calculation Nobody viii pretend that the building of
seagong vessels in the United States is controlled
by trust Senator Frye proposes to enrich this trust
at the expense of people who secure good from
the expenditure 1t is hard to believe that even Re
publican congress VIII be guilty of willful a per-
version of treasury funds.
If a ship subsidy Is possible, why not a bounty on
wheat and and cattle and sheep, and a hundred
other things that just necessary to the prosperity
of the country as merchant vessels.

FOREIGN THRIFT.

The economies practiced by very
many of our foreign born citizens when
they first begin life in this country
seem very queer and strange to us.
These methods are the inevitable out
growth of their hard conditions in the
mother country, fastened into life hab-
its, with the result that when applied
to American conditions a singular de-
gree of financial prosperity is insured
to these people. While some Of these
practices are really penny wise and
pound foolish" when applied here and
are in time somewhat modified. still
the primary idea OF thrift, saving and
economy is never entirely obliterated
until the third generation, when their
progeny lets things go wide open just
like Il native born American. The wo-
men of the first importation never get
over the notion of working in the
fields. of gathering the brushwood for
the kitchen fire and Of working the
family garden just as they used to in
the little plot which served as a gar
den in the fatherland. The average
American farm needs nothing worse
than a liberal application of some Of
these old fashioned and foreign ideas
of economy and saving. and this is not
implying that American women should
do aught on the farm than care for the
farm home.
