Editorial
Opinion
Dust and Disease.


Washington Star
a bulletin just issued by the bureau
OF labor regarding the effect upon health
Of various forms OF dust clearly shows
the necessity Of increasing care in do
nestle and municipal housekeeping. II is
estimated that approximately % per cent.
of the deaths Of persons whose occupa-
tions expose them TO municipal or street
dust and to general organic dust are due
TO tuberculosis. It has been known for
some years, as a result of careful scien-
tinc studies, that the tubercle bacillus is
carried by dust, and that in the degree
that persons afflicted with Consumption"
ignore the sanitary laws the disease is
spread. one OF tho chief objects Of the
various organizations for the prevention
and cure Of tuberculosis is 10 teach this
truth and 70 impress upon the sufferers
from tuberculosis the duty they urgently
owe TO others.
Municipal street cleaning is no longer 70
be regarded as an esthetic fad. II is the
most urgent necessity. A we'll swept city
Is healthier than one in which the street
cleaning Is indinerently done. And q
well swept city is one IN which the street
work is done with the view OF lessenins
the dust incidental TO the process OF dirt
gathering. This means the thorough
sprinkling OF the streets before sweeping
Herein lies one Of the strongest argu
ments for the flushing system Of street
cleaning.
IL the rules against sidewalk eXpecto
ration are obeyed and II the streets are
swept with due regard for tho laws o
sanitation there is practically no danger
in street dust. But the anti-spitting regu
latiors are violated so often that now an,
then they seem to be virtually dead let
ters, while many times the passage OF I
battery OF street-cleanlng machines alonl
thoroughfare raises as much dust as
twenty-mile wind.
! The housewife who understands the tru
nature OF the dust will, If wise take pre-
caution against disease infection from
that source. There are many things 4
be learned by the average housekeepe
I'm this regard. Most houses are veritabl
| germ collectors. with their heavy curtain
al doors and windows and their thick
piled carpets. which are not removed from
the floors from early fall until late spring

The Lady and the suraaIr.

"A society woman once asked mo
what she should do II a burglar were
to get into her room and awaken her
from sleep" said Captain p. j. Nc
Donald, former San Francisco police
captain. at the Rennert. Il told her to
do nothing except sit up in bed and
squeal for help at the top OF her lungs.
That's the medicine for Mr.. Burglar.
Not one Of the gentry in 10000 will do
aught save run like a deer when a
woman begins to yell. The sure enCagh
professional will not harm anybody un-
less cornered, and to shoot is the last
thing he contemplates in his philoso-
ply An amateur loses his head and
uses his gun, but a regular-never"

MILK TRUST GRIPS NEW YORK.

TITLE by little the cost of living in New
- York is increasing, the papers of that city
say And what is true of New York is true Of
other cities penny is added here penny
there. 1t does not seem much at first glance,
but in the course of year to a man who has
fair family it amounts to considerable The
pinch is felt.
The Milk Trust appears to be the chief offend
er in New York. The trust controls the supply
of milk and similar things. The trust pays the
milk producers 4.oS cents quart and charges
the consumer nine cents quart. This shows
where the profit goes. And it is said that nine
cent milk is to be followed in New York by fifty
cent butter Eggs are already considered
luxury and all meats and vegetables are going
up gradually but surely.
The trust is keen-witted. 1t knows that a
big advance would cause an outcry Of protest /;
it takes the slower method. 1t is estimated that
the cost OF living in New York during the last
few years has increased more than twelve per
cent. These figures seem conservative And
what applies to New York applies TO other
cities A lowering of the standard of living for
many families seems TO be inevitable

Th. Secret pivorcs Abuse.


New York Times.
Secrecy IN divorce suits when the par
ties have high social standing in the COM
munity is growing into a grave abuse in
our courts. The law authorizes the with
holding OF testimony from the public eye
when, in the opinion Of the referee or the
court, It's publication might erdanger pub
lie morals. This privilege. however, was
never intended to permit the wealthy to
get their divorces with little trouble and
next to no publicity. The proceedings in
tho Rookland County Court when a man
and woman of large fortune and inheunct
were divorced. were such as to make the
administration OF the law seem farcioal
The state grants divorce to an injured
and innocent man or woman under GER
tain clearly specified conditions and Il Is
the general feeling in this community that
divorce Under those conditions Is a safe
guard to society rather than menace
to f. But II was never the intention Of
the law, or of the people who make the
laws for their own government, 10 make
the marriage bonds lighter for some per-
sons than for others or to shield anybody
from the just consequences of his misdo-
ings Secret divorces of this sort are not
obtainable by humble persons Of small
means.

About the only one who seemed 10 be pleased
with the fury of the elements was retiring Pres-
dent Roosevelt, who made a strenuous march
amid the storm from the White House TO the
railroad station surrounded by troops. Prob
ably the President had thoughts at that time of
the retreat of Napoleon from Moscow
Taft, however, didn't appear TO enjoy it and our
own Governor Pcnnewill, physically hardened
though he is because Of his early baseball train
Inauguration weather. Doubtless the Hon.
A. B. Conner would prefer riding over the
dusty roads of Kent during midsummer TO
tramping the streets Of Washington in such
weather as that which marred the Taft cere-
monies. And Colonel Sparks and Colonel
Curry, General dupont and the rest of them
will never forget that day of all days
At any rate we observe that Governor Penne
will as the representative OF Delaware, has been
appointed a member of the National Committee
which is being formed by Commissioner Mac
Farland of the District of Columbia for the pur-
pose, OF securing from Congress a change Of
Inauguration Day. Some day in month more
suitable than March will be named il the COM
mittee has its say
Mr.. MacFarland has been in communication
with the Governors who attended the ceremonies
last March, and it is needless to add that they
all favor the change. The committee is loaded
with ammunition Of all kinds TO be presented to
Congress to show why the change Of date should
be made. It has a big pile of photographs
taken on last Inauguration day which picture
vividly the weather conditions of that day. The
committee has a record of the deaths due to
pneumonia and other diseases caused by ex-
posure. AS soon as Congress convenes the data
will be presented and the agitation begun for a
change of Inauguration date. We should think
there would be no opposition to the change.

CHANGE OF INAUGURATION DAY.

&ANITY is about to prevail as regards the
- time for holding the Presidential inaugur-
alton exercises. Last March the ceremonies
were held amid sleet snow and rain the most
disagreeable kind of weather. Pneumonia
reaped a rich harvest. Everyone was uncom-

lowed the custom of inaugurating our Presidents
during a month when the weather IS apt to play
all sorts of dangerous pranks. Thousands gath

The sweeping OF floors in such circum-
stances only stirs up the particles to set
Tie on furniture and hangings and be-
hing picture frames. Then comes the so
called "dusting" process. which consists
usually OF the disturbance OF the accumu-
lation by violent slappings with cloths or
brushings with feathers. It is far better
to leave the dust where 1t happens to rest
than to beat It or blow It back into the
air, TO be breathed into the lungs.

A race to the South Pole is suggested by
Captain Scott, the Englishman who has decided
TO fit out an Antarctic expedition. He welcomes
the report that Commander Peary will go on a
southern trip although the Commander thinks
il would be improper for him to make the jour
new in view of the announced plans of the
English explorer. A race to the South Pole
would be thrilling indeed but it is to be hoped
that no controversy such as that of Cook and
Peary would follow.

MONDAY CLUB IN SESSION.
Rev. John Van Schnick Speaks on
Individual Temdencies.

Asking greater impuTse 10 cooperation
between the church and the forces of
social service. Rev Dr. John Van Schaick
made a criticism Of individuaIistic tend
encies before the Monday Evening Club
at the Y. NJ c. last night
There was lack OF q unlfying spirit,
he said. which had resulted in injuTing
both the cause Of religion and the
progress Of the work Of philanthropy.
Effort IS weakened without mutual sup
port. and the world al large has grown
skeptical over the proposition that the
church IS a practical and effective factor
in social reform
The topic for the evening was Co
operation between workers In charity and
other forms Of social service" The dis
cussion opened with the address OF Wal
ter s. CnOrd. general secretary Of the
Associated Charities, on Cooperation
from the standpoint OF the charity or
ganization society" This was followed by
the address Of George s Wilson. secre-
tary Of the Board Of Charities. on Co
operation between public and private
charities
Dr. Merrill z. Gates and Mrs. c. P.
Merwin, former president Of the club
closed the discussion with fruitful sug-
gestions. William Knowles Cooper de-
clared that the Young Mems Christian
Association was slowly merging its great
efforts in behalf Of character building in

the pamphlet Lieut.. De Lany is here for
examination for promotion, and Lieut.
Commander Mexican is on a leave OF ab-
sence-
Acting Secretary Winthrop says the
pamphlet was submitted TO the depart
ment upon being prepared by certain line
officers. It is suggested the line officers
OF the navy be requested 10 submit their
views concerning the revision OF the reg
ulations.
Secretary Meyer thought this unneces-
ssTy. as he has already appointed a board
Of high ranking officers TO consider the
matter So he officially prohibited the
circulation Of the pamphlet. Il seems,
however, there are many officers OF the
navy in Washington who have seen the
circular and have It in their possession
II the department gets Asiiable infor-

there will doubtless be further develop
