COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
why Laws TO that End Are Not Cen
orally Enforced.

0ssian H. Lang, in the Forum.
Compulsory education is not generally
enforced. The idea Of compuIsion does
not appeal 10 the average Interpreter OF
liberty IN this country. II is sweet land
OF go-as-ycu-please' with him. Unde-
sirable citizens reared under the sway Of
anarchical tendencies have become the
sp0kcsmen Of untrammeled individualism.
A natural result is the enforcement OF
seIhshness. II is this which has encour-
aged child labor. Nor are selfish parents
the chief offenders. From a purely sell
FISH standpoint compulsory school attend
ance would seem TO be q most desirable
provision. Every one is agreed that the
welfare and prosperity OF the country
depends upon the widest diffusion OF ed
ucation. The natural resources derive
their value from intelligent development
and industrial and commercial eXploita-
ton. The individual is profted by the
degree Of intelligence exercised in shar-
ing In this development and exploitation.
Assuming that he does not value educa-
ton for its own sake. he certainly can
find abundant inducements IN the prom
Use OF material advantages held out 10
trained intellects and skilled hands Ap-
parently our failure 10 enforce the uni
versal education Of the young is not due
10 selhshness. In reality Il IS due 20 IN
enlightened selhshness. pu5lic opinion
must grow strong in the faith that "a
tional compulsory education laws, rigidly
enforced, are essential to human well
fare. OF course. the education offered
must be really worth having as equip
ment for the exigencies Of practical life.
That is tacitly assumed by the vast
sums Of public money ungrudgingly ex.
pended for the schools.

ABUSE OF CRIMINAL APPEAL.
Agitation for Reform by the Ala
hanna Bar Association.

Agitation for Reform by the Ala
hama Bar Association.
From The New York Evening Post
The Alabama State Bar Association is
doing a good work in agitating a reform
of the abuses Of criminal appeal It's
committee on correspondence has been
addressing the bar associations OF other
States The circular letter which has
been sent out recites the growing scandal
in this country Of reyersals on appeals
for error in the trial courts which was
not really material In too many juris-
dicti0ns in this country the doctrine has
gained standing that an error or ruling
created per sc 10 enable the excepting
and defeated party 10 obtain a new trial,
must prevail with the higher court. The
result is something Ike " per cent Of
reversals. OF new trials, IN this country,
as compared with about ( per cent in
English practice.
This evil has been vigorously brought
TO the notice Of the Alabama legislature
by the bar association, and We under
stand that a bill 10 correct the extTava-
gances OF appeal on technical and Inn
material grounds is in a fair way OF
being enacted. Other States should take
the matter up. Doubtless an amendment
10 the Federal judiciary act would also
be useful That the abuse Of setting
aside yerdicts FOR error not going 10 the
merits is great and growing. Judge Brew
or has strongly testified.

SATURDAY. JULY %. 1907.
The Typhoid Fever Problem.

Two interesting reports relating TO
causes for the prevalence Of typhoid
fever in Washington have been made by
Marine Hospital Service experts, one Of
them dealing with the part played by
water, and particularly Potomac water.
In the dissemination of the disease. and
the other with milk products as 4 source
Of Infection. It is declared in the first Of
these reports that there is no direct evil
dence that local typhoid Infection IS due
10 the water supply, inasmuch as the
typhoid bacillus has never been isolated
from Potomac water. This is a remark
able statement, which seems 20 acquit
the Potomac Of responsibility for the dis
ease in question; but the experts find
reasons for belief that Potomac water
plays an important part in causing ty-
phold epidemics in these two facts:
The uniform distribution Of the disease through
cut The city. indicating a common medium such
as water
The great majority l965 per cent of the cases
studied gave a history Of having drunk uuboiod tap
water within thirty days prior TO the onset Of the
disease"
Nevertheless. the experts have not been
able as yet 20 reach a definite conclusion
as 10 the influence Of Potomac water il
the spread of typhoid, although they feel
warranted in asserting that despite the
Improvement in the water due to stor-
age, sedimentation, and filtration, no APP
preciable change in the typhoid situation
is apparent" What are we 10 infer from
this-that the filtration plant is a failure,
SO far as diminishing typhoid is con-
cerned, or that, as is suggested, some un-
known agent or agents for the dissemina-
ton Of the infection must be peculiarly
active in Washington" Some light is
thrown on this question by the report Of
the commission investigating the cOndi-
tons Of the milk supply, which repre-
sents very strongly the danger Of typhoid
infection from that source. This commits
sion has traced eighty-fsa cases of
typhoid to milk products, and its obser-
vations as 10 the methods OF producing
and distributing milk indicate that this
article Of diet IS very apt to carry infec-
ton. But is the case against the milk
supply really any better proven than tina;
against the water supply, which the ex-
perts now admit is by no means con-
elusive?
It seems probable that where typhoid
has been prevalent for a long series OF
years, as in Washington. there must be
a serious local infection quite outside the
food and water supply I'VE must try
TO prevent the infection of our environ
ment," the experts say, by destroying
the infection as it leaves the body; and
when that is not done, every home where
there has been a case Of typhoid be
comes a center Of infection. Thus the
personal habits Of the people become an
important factor in the control or dis
seminatiOn Of disease. and prevention a
concern Of the individual as well as OF
the local authorities.

Bryan aad Hughes.

From Che Bristol VA Heraid-Courier.
The Washington Herald thinks Bryan's
criticism of Gov. Hughes veto was hardly
fair. because the New Yorker has no
chance to criticise one OF Mr.. Bryan's
vetoes. and may never have" That is
very true. But, on the other hand. the
esteemed Herald has probably noticed
that some OF its contemporaries have
drawn comparisons between Gov. Hughes
and Mr.. Bryan, with the very evident
purpose Of having IL appear that such
comparison was greatly TO the latter s
disadvantage. That is hardly fair. either.
seeing that Mr.. Bryan has occupied no
