Test sidewalk Law.

A test of the new sidewalk law, which requires that all property own CTS either put down walks when mo- tified, or else they will be constructed under the contract with a Birmingham construction company. is to be made by the board of public works in the cases of Chris. Thiesen and Mrs Sal lie E. Commlns Both of these parties not only refused to put down walks, but refused to pay the contracting firm after they were completed bv or- der of the city, or to sign notes as provided, where the owner does not desire to pay over the money. Now the board has issued notices to both parties to appear and show cause why apportionment warrants should not be issued against the property.

DANGERS OF A BIG STRIKE.

Il HE president of the National Association Of
- Manufacturers has received word from
three thousand firms in different parts of the
country and they substantially agree that trade
conditions arc improving with increased buying
and selling. The reports of the commercial agen-
cies sustain this statement as do the official re-
turns of the internal commerce of the country re
ceived by the Treasury Department at Washing
ton. The traffic movement of the railroad COM
panies for October showed large and gratifying
gains.
No wonder then that there is cause for uneasi-
ness in the rumors that there may be general
strike for higher wages of the employees of the
railroad companies In Minnesota there has been
a strike of switchmen and while the reports of
the company involved arc "reassurng, as they
are in every strike, there appear to be shoulder
ing ashes that may at any time burst forth into
flame of general strike. The switchmen have
been restless for some time There has been talk
of sympathetic strikes but this talk is discour-
aged by the leaders Of the employees.
There is no telling how soon the attitude of
the men may be changed. The head OF the or
ganization of swtchmen has been comforting with
President Gompers of the Federation, and it
would not be difficult matter to get up a strike
of large proportions From the point of view
of the men the time of reviving business would
be the opportune moment to tie up or to attempt
to tie up the railways
In such contingency which we hope is re-
mote the consumers, that is the general public,
which use the railroads, would be the chief sui
ferers With a fully equipped force the rail-
roads during the last boom in business showed
that they were unable to give swift service. It
was difficult for Western shippers to get cars
and thousands upon thousands of dollars must
have been lost because of congested freight traf-
fc. According to present indications we arc re-
turning to a time of great business activity, the
good results of which depend upon the railroads
in a large measure, their ability to handle the
traffic.
If, therefore, there should be a general strike
OF railroad employees, the consequence would be
disastrous The business men, especially
throughout the West are beginning to see the
seriousness Of the situation, and they will have to
DO something more than merely sit by with folded
arms and wait for the disaster that threatens
them.

MONEY AS DEMOCRATIC LEADER

HE selection OF Senator Money. of Miss
= issippi, as the leader of the Democrats
in the Senate indicates that the party in the
higher house will pursue the course Of mas
terly inactivity that marked their planeof cam
pagn during the extra session. Senator Money
IS an old timer" a conservative Democrat from
a conservative state, Mississippi. No one who
wanted a live and energetic leader, ready to take
advantage of the flaws in the armor of his po-
litical opponent would be apt TO look in the di-
rection OF the most conservative of the South
ern States, and no one would expect progressive
legislation TO come from that region.
During the last session Senator Culberson, Of
Texas, was nominally the Democratic leader of
the Senate but Mr.. Bailey OF the same state was
practically the chief of the Democrats. For the
position Bailey is probably the best fitted man
that the Democrats have, but his party mem
bers many OF them at least, have lost confidence
in the adroit Texan. Ills real leadership during
the extra session from Democratic point Of
view resulted in failure; instead OF opposing all
the schedules of the tariff bill, he compromised
on many Of them with the result that party lines
were broken and the Democrats Of the Senate
were shown up as greatly divided on the tariff
question.
In fact, the only real opposition during the ex-
ira session was that Of the nsurgent RepubI-
cans, and It looks if the insurgents during the
coming long session will be the opposition sup
plying the brilliancy, the brains the zeal which
one would naturally think the Democrats as a

The Cost of Iiuinn.

New York Evening Sun.
According to Chief Winton c. Car
rfson of the Bureau of Statistics of
New Jersey the cost of living, that is
to say, counting bare necessities, has
gone up 37.13 per cent. in ten years.
He has found too that the increase
has been greatest in the big communi-
ties, where competition Is strongest,
and least in the rural communities,
where competition is least.
In his message to Congress the Pres
ident drew attention TO this problem.
In order to show that our sacred tariff
was not the cause of it all he stated
that the ocst of living had increased
all over the civilized world A fair
enough argument, it 1t did not suggest
a still more serious problem.
The real difficulty is that of wages.
The remuneration of the man whose
pay is fixed does not adjust itself TO
the cost of existence. be he a judge on
the bench. a naval officer or the clerk
in a bank. on the other hand, in
the case of the man who is paid by
the job, or by piecework, the ten
dency is to higher pay. So in taking
into account the growing inability OF
the mass of salaried individuals TO
make both ends meet this increased
cost of labor must not be overlooked,
for it comes in in the case Of all sorts
of necessities, from a finished house
to piece of plumbing.
The New Jersey expert is puzzled
by the failure of competition to dc
all the wonderful things that the eco
nomists expect Of It. But perfect COM
petition is something that never ex-
listed outside the mind of a doctrin-
aire.

Spinal Anaesthetization.

New York Medical Journal.
A distinguished European surgeon is
now visiting New York The gentleman is
Prof Jonnesco, Of the University OF
Bucharest, and his mission is TO demons
strate the value OF surgical anaosthesia
without loss of consciousness. The pro-
codure which he is understood to advo-
cate is that OF injecting into tho spinal
canal a solution of stovaine and strych-
nine. The demonstrations which he has
thus far given I'm New York have been
highly satisfactory, and II is felt that he
has made great advances in the technique
OF spinal anaesthetization. Nevertheless,
there is really nothing new in his method.
The synthetic compound known as
stovaino has for several years been rec
ognized as an efficient local anacsthetic,
and, moreover, it has been used to some
extent within the rhachidian canal There
is, too, no novelty about Prof Jonnesco's 8
procedure even IN tho addition of strych-
nine TO the solution employed, for Dr. J..
Leonard Corning OF New York who first
employed spinal anaesthetizatlon, used
strychinine with cocaine experimentally
more than twenty years ago. II the high

LAYMAN'S VIEW ABOUT
NINTH WARD TYPHOID

a layman's idea Of the cause Of ty-
phoid fever in the Ninth ward
Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL:
Il have been informed by the items that
I have read in the daily papers that
typhoid fever Is very prevalent in that
section of the city known as the cast
end Of the Ninth ward. and that the
secretary Of the city Board of Health
is now investigating the same, to find
out II possible what is the primary cause
of said fever. 1 think that I can tell him
the cause. and do # in a very few words
and it is nothing more than what we
have been trying through our legal de-
partment TO stop the Pennsylvania peo-
pie from doing, that is, polluting the
water.
Now Il may at first seem that this is
absurd, but my dear sir If tho Secretary
OF the Board Of Health will take with
him the City Bacterioloeist or any other
reputable physician and get in a row

all right TO dump sewage into the Bran

cient current TO carry the sewage away,
and that is tho trouble. and just as long
asI the city allows this matter TO go

That the Board Of Health should In

will be only a few years when if the
present arrangement for the dumping
OF the sewage into the Brandywine

be nothing more than a dirty ditch for

SOME WORDS THAT
SHOULD BE CUT OUT

having a violent discussion about some
words which should not be used. A
writer yesterday says:

fuss is on again about the use of
words, why not make 1t capital Of
fence to use the word classy" when
one means "of good quality" the word
conservative" when one means mot
exaggerated" the word exclusive"
when one means decent or respect

1t is not thought that Senator Money is much

he is not in accord with radical or so-called rad
ica legislation that has been demanded by the
