At a conference of his associates and the dis
: trict leaders yesterday Mr.. Cord Meyer, chair
man OF the Democratic State Committee, de-
livered himself. for subsequent publication, OF
various sentiments and injunctions which he
hopes viii bear fruit on Election Day. Mr..
Meyer desires the country to understand that
he Is greatly worried lest the election should
be dishonesty conducted IN the State OF New
York for the benefit Of the Republican candi-
dates. he surmises that there will be attempts
st false registration cheating at the polls and
possibly even violence especially in the rural
districts. Accordingly he warns his followers
80 be TIgilant and resolute, and In behalf Of the
committee makes this stirring announcement:
I'VE are determined to have the vote OF every
''citizen who casts his ballot for Parker and
Davis honestly counted"
That is excellent, so far as It goes. But would
It not be still better II it went further? The
Republican managers are also determined that
the votes lawfully cast shall be honestly counted
not part OF them, bat all Of them: the votes
for every candidate. not merely those OF their
own political household. Mr.. Meyers solicitude
Cor fair and peaceful election appears to be
rather too strictly limited Nor does he quite
rise 70 the level Of the occasion IN combining his
remarks TO the dangers which beset country
polling places. II. as Superintendent Morgan
has reason to believe elaborate schemes OF
1rauoulent colonization for election purposes
are on foot in this city, where onehalf of the
vote OF the State will be cast, Mr.. Meyer ought

SANITATION IN WAR

The opinion has hitherto been expressed that
the whole world will learn much from the Jap
Gnese in this war. At least it will have an OppOr-
tunity to learn much. Many of the lessons will
pertain exclusively to military campaigns
Some, and not the least valuable. will also have
an application to times of peace. Such are the
lessons which DIR. Seaman. of this city, observed
during his visit TO the Japanese army and its
hospitals, and which he reported in his address
at st. Louis yesterday. They pertain to the
sanitation of the army, and show the supreme
value OF such sanitation as n belligerent asset:
but they convey their teaching no less to those
who have the care of the public health in time
Of peace.
1t will surprise nobody to be told that the
Japanese are expert in surgery and medicine
and in sanitation The world has long known
that But some of the methods and results of
their work are calculated to cause surprise and
might cause incredulity If they were not so au-
thoritatively reported. DIR. Seaman tells us that
Of more than a thousand wounded soldiers re-
ceived at the Toxic hospitals before July not
one had died. How other military hospitals in
other lands must envy that record! The secret
OF it is found in the scientific precision and care
with which the Japanese attend TO every detail
But even that record, splendid as IL Is is not
to US the most impressive feature of the case
The Japanese are past masters of the healing
art. But they are also firm believers and prac-.
utioners Of the principle that an ounce of nre-
vention is worth pound of cure. So. while
they pay close attention TO healing the sick and
wounded, they give, if possible still more 10
