School Quarantine.

There is excellent reason for the rule
excluding from the public schools for a
period of fourteen days all children who
have been exposed to acute cases of in
fantile paralysis. From all that is known
of that disease IL is of highly infectious
character, and despite the lack of specific
knowledge regarding 1t and the means of
its transmission II Is fair to assume that
children who have been within close
range of cases are potential media of
communication.
A research to ascertain the cause or
mode Of transmission Of this disease is
progressing actively. though without
definite results to date. At present
suspicion rests upon poultry as posi-
BILE agency, and yet there are instances
where the disease has spread without this
factor in evidence. In fact, mystery sur
rounds the matter, warranting the taking
further spread.
The school quarantine is the most OBJ
vious means of checking a disease which
finds its victims chiefly among the ju-
venile population. The greatest difficulty
is experienced, even with the modern
methods of school administration. IN
checking such diseases as whooping
cough. scarlet fever. measles and diph-
iberia, all of which are acutely infectious
and chiefly prevalent among those OF
school age. Medical inspection in the
schools, however. is being continually
brought to higher standard Of efficiency,
and the danger from these sources is les
sening year by year.
All parents should heartily cooperate
with the health and medical authorities OF
the District to the end of preventing the
spread Of disease from known cases. Upon
the first suspicion of illness of con-
tagious nature. the child should be held
at home and the teacher notified. so that
If there has been exposure. precautions
may be taken to examine all who have
been within range. Such early measures
may save lives.

Mr.. Taft and Waterways.

The Presidents waterways speech is
an appeal to patriotism on that subject
1t is not an enunciationN of new national
Ism, for no nationalism has ever existed
as respects our river and harbor prob
lem. Mr.. Taft wants nationalism estab-
lished, and all future improvements based
on 1t.
There can be no question Of the Presi-
dents facts, nor any quarrel with the
soundness of his argument We all know
the evils of the system Of appropriations
hitherto made. Hundreds of millions
have been wasted by it, and only meager
returns secured from the money with
reason justifying its investment. We have
gone upon the proposition that Uncle
Sam Is rich enough to give us all not
only farm, but navigable river and
We have drawn upon him for the water
we have struck his wallet with our rod
and obtained enormous sums for a very
small volume Of fluid
Inc President would change this He
would not stint meritorious projects. On
the contrary. he would provide the more
money for them by cutting off appropria-
lions for small projects which have their
root In personal schemes and congress
sional pull
~ - caster ASKED tnan granted Inc
pork barrel rests on human nature and
congressional temptation YOU tickle me
and I'll tickle you runs through much of
The business of men, both public and pr-
Vate And the pork barrel the President
discusses is not the only one that exists
Uncle Sam is supposed to be rich enough
to give us all a public building, and is
made to run up houses in some queer
places.
Still, firmly based as the system is, and
difficult of overturning. it should be over
turned. The Presidents appeal should be
granted. Some means should be provided
Tor conserving Treasury funds as re-
spects drafts upon them not dictated by
undoubted public necessities. Senator's
and representatives seeking reelection,
and to make themselves the more solid
at home, should not be permitted longer
TO vote themselves campaign contribu-
tions from the national purse.
Public sentiment alone can effect the
desired result, and this should form on
the Presidents views. The next Congress
will be called upon to deal with the mat
ter, and it is not too soon to begin dis
cussion. Who are on the Presidents side
on question distinctly non-poli,ical?

Fortifying the Canal.
From the Chicago Post


President Taft will ask Congress at its
next session to appropriate 100000 to
start the work of fortifying the ap-
proaches to the Panama canal. 1t would
not take an enemy long to destroy the
usefulness of the waterway If access to
1t were easy. There is domestic and for
eign opposition to the project of fortifi-
cation, but 1t should not be allowed to
stand in the way OF safeguarding q work
which has cost the American people mill
lions OF dollars and which Is a necessity
to their commercial well-being. The canal
is to be open to the commerce of the
world, but its building is an American
enterprise The hrst consideration when
construction was begun was the making
Of a water highway for peaceful COM
merce, but there was the secondary, but
highly important consideration. from the
standpoint of the United States, Of .
shortened route between the seacoaste
for the battleships of this country in time
of need.

From the New York Evening Sun.
The incoming census returns promise tc
change quite materially the position OF
the United States among the large city
countries of the world. New York, In.
deed, has not yet overhauled London. the
only larger city. That transit is not due
for another decade or SO. But the other
large cities of our country, as far as yet
heard from. have surged forward among
the field of foreign cities against which
they were matched. We shall have to gel
over the metropolitan habit Of speaking
of our second-rate cities. A number OF
these are now in point of population well
ahead of many European capitals. Popu-
latiOn Is. the Europeans may say. not all
that makes city. But, we are free tc
reply, Inhabitants are city's first essen
tial. And our cities have their share and
more than their share of increase in mere
inha bitants.

This Year in New York.

| In some of the excited New York utter
ances the prediction is made that the
democratic candidate for governor will
have majority approaching a quarter
of million He could not fight off sue
cess with a stick. 1t is bound to reach
| him. Fate and the republican party have
decreed it. The Cleveland-Folger- CAM
paign is, we are told. to lose its pre-
eminence as a one-sided affair. The year
| 1910 is to supersede the year 1882 in the
| New York calendar as the date when
| something awful happened to the re-
publicans with their own assistance.
And yet, even II this be granted, the
democrats should put their very best foot
foremost. To nominate colorless man on
compromise between the democratic
factions simply because the party cannot
| lose this year would be great mistake.
This year and the next and the next are
all to be considered together. Nineteen
hundred and twelve is prime factor in
| this fight on the one side as on the
other.
The man elected governor in November
will have to stand a test of eighteen
months in office before the next national
nominations are made, and every month
of the time will find him in the spotlight
as presidential aspirant. Friends and
foes alike will examine him with care
His responsibilities will be heavy, his diff
ficuties numerous. He will make some
enemies, and will need some in his BUSH
ness Enemies we'll selected and deeply
impressed are help to an executive Of
the right sort.
And then it should not be forgotten
that public favor changes The hero of
one year may not be the hero of the next
year. Mr.. Cleveland, It should not be
forgotten, though the New York hero of
1SS2. was not very heroic in the state
in 1884. He had nearly two hundred thou
sand, the best Of 1t in the contest with
Judge Folger, but only a little more than
a thousand In the contest with Mr.. Blaine
And the integrity of even that narrow
margin was questioned. Four years later
he lost the state to Gen. Harrison by
some fifteen thousand.
The New York field presents today an
unusual allurement and an exceptional
opportunity from the democratic stand
point. II the democrats pick man
of high quality, both as to ability and
character. elect him governor, and then
give him the proper support In Office they
should go far toward controlling the next
democratic national convention as to
candidate and platform. MIR. Bryan will
| then have 10 hustle to keep his hold even
on his favorite territory.
