Small local outbreaks of diphtheria call
attention to the most recent agent Of cure
presented by science. Pyozyanase is the
formidable name Of a discovery which has
only to confirm the claim of the intro
ducers' to rank With the benefactions OF
Jenner and Pasteur. The substance is re-
ported TO be distinctly more efloacious
than antitoxin; as surer because 1t is ut
rectly applied to the throat instead Of bo-
ing injected into the circulation.
Dlphtheria is the childhood disease most
dreaded. 1t is agonizingly distressing 70
the parent, and once was fatal almost. be-
yond hope. The antitoxin has had a noble
record. Promptly used. 1t has reduced NOR
tally from So per cent. to 4 or 5 in some
localities, to 10 everywhere. III the new zee
of child suffering is better, the victory OF.
science is weli-nigh a complete triumph
Gradually, thus, the civilized world IL
mastering its highest duty. The nourish-
ing and developing of infancy into I'M
mared normality Of manhood Is becoming
an understood achievement. The child can
ultimately, we may assure ourselves. be
reared without pain and without defect.
No reasonable vision of the future has
more OF light and comfort than this OF
sound, healthy and happy childhood. All
that public funds or privTte contributions
can DO to assist science in the work OF
child betterment is well expended. The
new diphtheria cure must be tested, and. u
better than antitoxin, 1t must be provided
and used wherever there is a medical pro-
fession to supervise its application.-Phila"

A proposition submitted to Congress
is for a national initiative and referen-
dunn, and the originator of the idea
comes from Oklahoma. The idea is
that 8 per cent. of the voters of fifteen
States shall have the power to propose
legislation, and 10 per cent. of the same
number may propose an amendment to
the Constitution. This referendum is
provided for where 8 per cent. of the
voters of fifteen States ask for it. An
other provision is for the submission of
political questions to the people on the
election ballots. A surer scheme to
keep the country In constant political
turmoil and give power to a small mi
nority to maintain a perpetual agita-
ton could not well be devised.

state snIor,e. Held Up

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
l do not know whether you are aware
that the salaries of State officers and en-
ployees are being held up by someone in
Trenton-State Treasurer, Comptroller.
Auditor or some other Official.
There was a time when New Jersey was
honored by the reputation of prompt pay
ment of salaries and financial obligations.
That reputation has now, in this month of
December, 1907, got a bad setback The
salaries have not been paid!
Is this the Improvement promised by
party advocates and pledged by party plat
forms at the last election canvass?
The interest upon the total amount of
salaries for one-third Of a month is quite
an item.
Who is making it-the State or the Of
fetal whose duty 1t is to audi or disburse
the money?
One thing is certain, the creditors. etc,
are losing just that amount, and are suf-
fering from the hardness of that State
official! Why is this thus?
ONE OF THE SUFFERERS.

Que.tIon Of Pronunciatlon.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
VIII you kindly let me know the correct
pronunciation for the word Floridaglen, if
1T is written as stated. Is it ponounced
F~lor-i-dag-len or Florida glen?
A READER.
rive can find no authority In any OF the
dictionaries for the use of such a word. but
such may be probable; in which case the
laws of custom and usage would prevail.
We can see no reason why, in case 1t Is
used as an adjective. or. for the name of
a town, community or estate, it should not
be pronounced with the accent on the third
syllable. In that case, it might be more
euphonious. However, when it is used to
denote the glens of Florida, 1t should not
be so pronounced, and we know Of no
reason why, in that case, 1t should be used
as one word.-Ed.l

No Foolish EntanglementS.

The coming State Republican Con-
vention must be run by the delegates
thereto and not by any handful of self
ish politicians. No cut and dried slate
and no, cut and dried platform can be
acceptable. We have had such things
on trial long enough. Time to give
the people a say-so. A packed and
throttled convention is just as nefar-
ious as the stuffed ballot box and the
stolen election. 1t is lie on its face,
and leads direct to lawlessness.
There are some machine politicians
who desire to tie the coming Repub-
lican State Convention to a Presiden-
tial candidacy. Were such an act of
folly perpetrated the State Convention
might as well adjourn sine die before
nominating ticket. The Republicans
of Kentucky are not united on any
particular Presidential candidate. Many
favor Vice President Fairbanks, others
prefer Secretary Taft. still others
