Federal Control at New Orleans.

The action of the New Orleans author
tiles In asking for federal control of the
fever situation was eminently wise. as was
that of Gov. Blanchard in Immediately in
dorsing it. Surgeon General Wyman. we
may be sure. will exert himself to the ut
most to carry out the Presidents instruc-
tions and the means at his disposal are
ample for excellent work and should insure
excellent results. Feeling everywhere, north
and south, will improve.
1t Is very evident that things are in
bad way In the crescent city. The efforts
to discourage this view but betray the fact.
Language about stricken city, or from the
sick room OF an eminent man. is always
diplomatic. The aim Is to bring the truth
slowly to light, so as to guard against panic
In the one case, or shock OF distress in the
other. 1t Is stated that this request for fed
eral control is not admission that the
situation Is desperate and beyond local con-
troll. but arises from large prudence. Peo-
pie, we are told, will take greater heart for
realizing that the largest of our agencies
for fighting fever Is employed in their be-
half
The English of this should escape nobody
at this distance. What Is known of condi
lions in the town guides us all to the
truth. F1fty-four new cases and five deaths
In one day tell their own story. And. what
is more. the leading center of the infection
IS inhabited by poor and ignorant and super
stitious people who lend no aid toward the
work of relief. They are. In their distress.
at once their own and the publc's worst
enemy.
Federal control means system and heroic
remedies. The one consideration will be. as
it should be. the stamping out of the dis
ease. We should hear very little complaint
about the paralysis of trade and all that.
Trade. for the time. must inevitably be In
jured. Something infinitely higher than
trade is involved. and has the first call on
attention When the city's health is re-
stored trade will revive. Meanwhile what
is done for New Orleans will inure to the
benefit of the whole of the lower coast
country, and even beyond that. We all
have stake in the situation.

Mr.. Charles Jones.

Let the case of Mr.. Charles Jones be con-
sidered. This is the Mr.. Jones who came
to Washington to take part in the seasons
work-or play-of the Washington ball
team. His qualities were early analyzed
and recognized-a graceful fielder a sure
catch, lightning thrower and base run
ner so speedy that it was alone worth the
price of admission to see him sprint for the
white bag. But there was a sad admission
on all sides that Jones could not bat The
rooters applauded his various exceilencies
and groaned in spirit when he struck out,
or popped up flies, or tapped easy ones to
the infielders. Yet there were no outward
signs of public disapproval Everybody
felt that it would be too much to expect
that a man so satisfactory in the other
phases of the game could be at the same
time a wonder at the bat, for Washington.
Yesterday Mr.. Charles Jones galvanized
his admirers into a state of frantic hero
worship. He not only went through his
specialties in his usual form, but he hit the
ball. He smashed it. He larrupped it. He
pasted It to the score board, out of reach,
on the nose. on the ground in the air. all
over the lot. And of course he worked his
hits to the limit when he got on base. He
was the whole game, with able assistance.
And when one of the fifty-seven varieties
of windy city pitchers, wary of giving that
wicked wielder of the willow too fair a
swat at the sphere, grazed his forehead.
roar of Indignation arose from the throng.
1t was like committing assault upon every
individual present.
And so it was that Mr.. Charles Jones, the
man of silence, who doffs his cap reluctant
ly to the frantic plaudits of the multitude,
the fieet-footed and strong-armed, wrote
record that will be long remembered.
And when next he swings into the vacant
air for a ball that is not there. and
goes back to the bench TO runinate on the
uncertainty of the sport, he will at least
be Modified that over in the stands folks
are telling each other of that great day in
early August when he pounded out a We
tory from the hard-to-beat sluggers from
Chicago.

Money Mania.
From the Indianapolis News.

1t is safe to say that never before in the
history of the country were the springs OF
action as we'll as the condition of things,
more closely examined than now. The rev.
Citations of theft in high places have APP
parently caused great searchings Of heart
among us, with result of wrong empha-
sis at times, as in the case of the preacher
in New York that considered graft the re-
suit of the extravagance OF women. A
sober view would hold that extravaganza
of whatever kind is a result rather than a
cause. and certainly the examples of great
accumulation and the manner of them con-
tradict the notion that it Is for anything
that money will buy that 1t Is coveted.
Great as our luxury is-greater, perhap s,
than any that the world ever saw-the ex-
amples Of monopoly and the history Of ex-
action do not point to luxury as a moving
cause. 1t is rather the simple love OF
money for itself-the development Of the
miser's pa ssion on a large scale.

While to-day's game was clean de-
