SAnrrARY GEWAGE DLsPoSAL.

DIR. Samuel g. Dixon, Health Commissioners of
Pennsylvania said in a public address the
other evening that typhoid fever cost that state
about S14O00000 a year. He recognized the
fact that other consequences of the prevalence
OF disease are more lamentable, generally speak
ing, than the pecuniary losses which 1t In
wolves. The anxiety and suffering caused by
prolonged and serious illness and the sorrow
resulting from fatal termination are usually
the first considerations. and so overshadow the
economic aspects of the subject that the latter
are likely to be ignored altogether. 1t is well
to be reminded Of them therefore, and to have
a specific estimate. like DR.. Dixon's, of the
combined effect of interruption of remunera-
tive employment, doctors and druggists bills
and funeral expenses. Such figures emphasize
the duty of promoting the public health.
In this country a larger responsibility seems
to rest upon local than upon state officials. The
latter usually act only In an advisory capacity.
The former are almost invariably the first to
learn Of the outbreak of a contagious NAL
ady. In some respects they are better situated
than any one else to ascertain its cause. Local
health officers. too. can act with greater prompt
ness when it becomes necessary to institute
quarantine measures or to prohibit the sale OF
suspected food. 1t has been customary, how
ever for these authorities to concern themselves
only with the welfare Of their own cOnstitu-
spoke to the people of West Chester about their
obligation to their neighbOrs. He told them
that the manner in which they disposed of their
sewage threatened the lives of their neighbors
further down stream. The Tribune is not in
position to judge Of the justice of this partcu-
lar charge but there can he little doubt that
scores of other communities are really guilty
of the offence imputed to West Chester. AS
rule. each town or city is content to take care
of itself. and, though possibly not Indifferent
To the welfare of others. sees no reason for
squandering money on engineering works for
the benefit of outsiders alone. Moreover, with
out legal cOmpulsion, no municipality. big or
little, is likely to incur such an expense.
Nevertheless the principle of responsibility
which Dr. Dixon discusses has been repeatedly
affirmed by the courts in this country. 1t is
established by the common law Here and
there its application is facilitated by special
statutes. In Massachusetts,. for instance, the
State Board of Health is able to stop the con-
taminatiOn of streams in short order. In one
way or another the city of Columbus Ohio, has
recently been forced to construct sewage dis
Dosal works not for its own residents, but
for the population of towns further down the
Scioto AS yet there has been little legislation
Of this sort in the United States. but there will
undoubtedly be a good deal more in the next
quarter of a century If Pennsylvania mas not
vet enlisted in the movement-and from the IAN
gllage of Dr. DixOn's address it is safe to in
fer that she has nOt-it might be we'll for him
to begin a campaign at Harrisburg when the
Legislature next meets.

Toronto woman. now deceased, played joke on

desirable, for Congress at this time to give spe-
ciic instructions to the plan of the canal.
If IL cannot or win not do so-that is TO say, TX
the Senate committee will not, for the Senate
waits for its committee and the House waits FOR
the Senate-that fact at least should promptly
be made plain, so that the President can go
ahead with the work under the provisions OF the
existing law, which Inv is interpreted ny the
whole administration as authorizing the con-
struction of a lock canal. Doubtless, If Con-
gress adiourns without taking any action upon
the matter, the President Will thus proceed un-
der the existing law. Indeed, he will have to
do So But It should not be necessary for him
TO wait until then. 1t would be far better for
Congress TO make some specific decision at once

work OF the Salvation Army. as carried on through
It's homes. lodging houses and other agencies. was
poorly organized and poorly administered and thar
the so-called charitable work Of the army was
largely subservient to financial interests He
continued:

SeNenty-Iour logging houses in Various cities
furnlShlng beds at the rate of 10 and 10 cents a
night. In its appeals for funds the army speaIys
OF lodging thousands of homeless" and most peO-
FIe gam the impression that such lodgings are in
part at least, a charity. and that the accOmmOda-
ordinary cheap lodging house, run for private
prOnt. Reliable information from a large humber
OF typical American cities indicates that the svs-
tenn OF cheap lodging houses conducted bv the
army nave all tie defects of the poorest OF the

rated cities come accounts Of specific sarng evils
II Is exceedingly difficult TO secure satisfactory
