TOWARD PURE MILK.

The plre-mllk law now in force by which bene-
fetal results have been obtained, was enacted un-
der difficulties. Its advocates were few, but they
were ardent, while its opponents were many and
persistent. 1t antagonized even by representa-
tives of the public, and that 1t ever got into the
code in effective form was, under the circum-
stances, a satisfying surprise.
Today a public hearing will be conducted by
the House Of Delegates on bill designed as SUBJ
stftue for the existing ordinance. The bill is pro-
noted by the dairymens association The amend
atory bill would make an inferior law. 1t would
be a concession to milk purveyors; nmical to pub
lie interests 1t should be defeated on general pr
ciples and to this end vigorous protests should he
submitted by citizens and civic and medical associ
atoms.
Conditions have changed in st. Louis since the
law was passed. At that time struggle was nee
not united. Now there are no indications what
ever that it can be displaced by new aud unde-
sirable bill except over the definite protests of solid
public opinion
In the fight against an inferior law the Civic
Improvement League is prominent. This is friend
that the puremik law did not have In the last con-
troversy. The League was not in arms then. 1t
Is new force in municipal affairs, and force
that is capable Of achievement. The sponsors of
the pending bin would have more trouble in hav-
ing 1t passed than they had in contendlng against
the present law when 1t was enacted. The present

ANOTHER PRECEDENT.
In a St Louis police court an attorney appeared
as the representative for both parties to cross
suit. man and his wife were charged and coun-
tercharged with disturbing each others peace. The
Judge decided that the attorney could not act for
both parties and threatened, upon insistence, to
have the attorney lodged in Jail.
There is scarcely anything that wide-awake
attorney cannot do If he tries In all probability
he might do his profession Justice and himself cred
it as the attorney for the prosecution and the de-
Tense in the same suit. In fact, many a lawyer
would be equal to the task Of serving in the triple
capacity Of attorney, Judge and jury. t.-
:, Advantages might be discovered in representing
both parties in crosssut Say, for instance, that
wife had sued for divorce, and that the husband
had filed cross-bill: The attorney being the rep
resentative Of both, could take the case under adj
visement with himself and manage to settle 1t very
easily and satisfactorily. Or, If it were damage
suit, he might confer with himself and compromise
it with himself take his fee and lead very happy
'Iife.
Another advantage would be that we should not
need so many attorneys. If we had few of ex-
'traordinary ability, who could represent both par
tics, many laws could be dispensed with, many
trials would be avoided and there would not be 30
many Judges and many jails. It Is unfortunate,
in way, that the attorney who appeared for both
parties in the cross-sut not permitted to DEM
enstrate unique procedure

CIRCUIT ATTORNEYS COMPENSATION

Mr.. Folk seems to be less disturbed than some
outsiders over the Circuit Attorneys salary. He
takes what the Auditor and Circuit Court allow
Nobody SO far claims that his compensation was
increased by the act of 1901. There had been ir-
regularity in constituting the rate of compensation
during previous terms and the act Of 1901 simply
fixed the salary and time Of payment a definite
basis.
The more the question is agitated the clearer 1t
is that. the State of Missouri does not provide
enough funds for the Circuit Attorneys office The
hat must be passed around for private contribu-
tons when the public welfare calls for little 'ex-
pense beyond the ordinary Some necessary or
binary expenses must be paid out of the Circuit At
torney's own pocket.
Whatever is the right construction of the act OF
1901, Mr.. Folk does not seem to have gained any
thing from its passage.

Novel Treatment of Typhoid EN-
ployed in London Hospital.

SPECIAL BY CABLE To THE NEW YORK

London. Dec. S.-(Copyright. 1soe.eAt
the London Hospital there is a little girl
with typhoid fever who Is undergoing
method Of treatment which, It is said. has
only once before been employed in the
history Of that institution
For five days the patient, who Is only 5
years old, has been kept in a bath of hot
water. She lies on water pillows. and her
body is entirely under the water, which is
kept at a constant temperature Of 1n de-
grees by an arrangement Of hot and cold
water entering the mixing cistern from
which it flows into the tub. and thence out
by a pipe. In five days the childs tenn
perature has fallen from 105 to 100 de-
grees. but the crisis has yet to come. At
least three weeks must be- spent In the
bath before the disease can be shaken on.
1t is said to be most unusual to find Il
typhoid case necessitating this treatment
Some years ago, at the London Hospital,
a man was kept immersed for six weeks
and recovered. In the present case tho
girl has moments of consciousness, during
which she asks for her mother.

Heretofore the League has not been aggressive,

e. Investigation and experience are crystaizing
more practical ideas regarding publicutility enter
prises. Theories concerning municipal ownership
and franchise-grans are not as radical they
short time ago. Public and expert opinion have
been modified more sensible principles, and with
the change there is greater prospect for the early
solution Of a perplexing problem OH safe basis
Until recently the tendency was decidedly in
favor Of widely extended public ownership. Among
projects no exceptions were made. The theory was
advocated to extremes which were almost absurd.
An impression prevailed, and it was becoming pop
ular. that municipality could give satisfaction
when private corporation could not that a mu-
nicipality could engage in any undertaking in which
private corporation might succeed, and that the
community would fare better If the granting of
franchises were discontinued altogether
Conservative views commanding the interest
OF the people. 1t is recognized that there are
some enterprises which municipality should not
conduct and that there are others which 1t could
mot conduct.
1t is recognized that there are enterprises which
1T ought to conduct and for which franchises should
not under any circumstances, be granted to private
concerns. 1t is recognized that each project is Il
distinct business proposition which must be solved
on its particular merits.
Public opinion manifests preference for pub
lie ownership, but 1t is longer insistent for pub
lie ownership when the policy is hostile to public
municipal interests. 1t Is more reasonable than
1t has been. There is not SO much opposition to
franchise granting, but there is more earnestness
in a frner demand for protective restrictions and
sufficient compensation There is not so much OPP
position to franchises while there is more deter
mined antagonism to the abuses of franchise legis-
lation.
The people are not asking that franchise grants
shall be prohibited entirely. But they do insist
that when public ownership is inadvisable, a mu-
nicipality shall make provisions for satisfactory
service that 1t shall retain control the grantee
mat 1t shall have effective supervision over the
enterprise, that the revenue shall be sufficient and
