Better Municipal Government.
ST Louis Post-Dfspatch,

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
1t is a year Of municipal surprises. New
York is setting the pace with a. reform
administration which is the wonder and
admiration of the country. Buffalo has
made such a strong appeal to the New
York assembly for commission rule that
it's success seems certain. The Pittsburg
Chamber of Commerce, at the end OF
years study, has recommended commits
sion government for that graft-ridden
city. Milwaukee, seeking honest govern
ment, turned the city over to the social
lists Boston has a new charter of q new
kind st. Louis has one in incuba ton.
Last week fifteen Kansas towns voted
for the new kind of government which is
already in force in dozens of towns from
Massachusetts to Colorado. Economy and
business conduct of business affairs are
always the ends sought. Graft, useless
jobs, lazy jobholders and extravaganza
are always the evils warred on. Misgov-
erned American cities are learning. The
Society Of Municipal Research In New
York and the League Of American NUM-
cipalities have labored to good purpose.
Citizens are enlightened.

bred millions, and adding a reasonable al
lowance for medicine. medical attendance,
special food and care. like sum Of five
hundred millions: these losses would make
another thousand million dollars of pre-
ventable loss to the people o. the United
States"
1t is now recognized that tuberculosis,
typhoid and all forms OF malarial and
enteric fevers are preventable: that they
exact a needless human toll. While much
is being done toward the elimination of
all of these diseases, the work is not pro-
crossing with that rapidty which is rea-
sonably commensurate with an intelligent
understanding of causes and effects. 1t
is known, for instance, that typhoid feVer
is communicated from one case as CEN
ter through careleSsness or indifference
If enough money were spent in this cause
typhoid could be eliminated altogether
from the morbidity records. Yellow fe-
yer has already been stamped out OF Cuoa
and other regions where formerly it was
an annual scourge. Malaria can be Slnll-
larry eliminated in this country.
What is needed today is a strong central
authority of suggestion. and, as far as the
limits will permit. OF inter-
state execution. Disease is now strictiS
an interstate problem and should be rated
as q national issue. Great advances nave
been made in the course of compare
lively few years as the result of intelligent
work here in Washington on the part OF
the federal health authorities, but theli
jurisdiction has been limited ana thelf
powers narrowed by the drawing OF state
lines on occasions and the lack of CO.
ordnated system of statutes yielding
uniform standard throughout the tnted
States.
Tie owen bill furnishes the basis for
an enactment by the United States which
will go far toward redeeming some OF the
loss now annually suffered and preventing
some of the waste in wealth and i'll lives
due to the prevalence of ignorance re-
Sarding the nature of disease.

Relief of Old Horses.
From the Boston Traveller.


Every lover OF and sympathizer with
dumb animals will rejoice at the progress
that is being made in the movement for
the relief of old horses. 1t Is pitiful
sight to see an aged and decrepit horse
dragging his SCARED and weary body
about as an annex to the ramshackle
wagon Of some peddler rag collector
who by no chance will properly care for
him and bought him for a song only to
work him to death. One day the old
animal falls in the street and Is unable
to rise. The bullet that becomes his
portion soon after is the most merciful
thing he has known for months. The
division of old horse relief OF the Boston
Work-Horse Parade Association has been
active in securing from business concerns
their assurance that horses will not be
sold after their value becomes $50, which
i3 the amount agreed as that at which q
horse had really passed his usefulness.
The response to the request that when
a horse has reached this period he be pen
stoned or mercifully killed has been very
encouraging.

The Percy-Vardaman Row.

In appealing to the voters of MiSSis-
sippi from the charges affecting his cleo
ton to the Senate, Mr.. Percy has done
the right thing. At his desire primary
will be called for next November, and a
decision reached as to who shall be the
senator for the regular term beginning
March 4. 1913. Mr.. Percy and Mr.. Varda-
man will stand for the Office. If the
decision is against Mr.. Percy he will
Immediately resign from the Senate, and
thus permit the appointment OF a senator
by the governor to serve until the new
senator instructed for by the people takes
his seat-a period of two years and odd
months.
In this way Mr.. Percy plants himself
upon his character as a man. and chal-
lenges an expression as to the influences
that secured his election to the Senate.
Do the people OF Mississippi believe that
the legislature was swayed by money in
the hands of Mr.. Percy's friends? Was
he the beneficiary of corruption? Is his
commission tainted? A poll adverse to
him will be accepted by Mr.. Percy as
applying not only to the next full sena-
torial term, but to the present unexpired
term. and he will retire at once.
The country at large construed Mr.
Percys election as something fortunate
for and highly creditable to his state
He had taken high ground in his can
didacy, and his previous life at the bar
and as citizen sustained all he said
and promised. He was generally ac-
claimed as worthy to sit in a chamber
where, since the civil war. Lamar and
George. and Walthall had sat, ana where
John Sharp Williams was soon to sit.
Since his appearance in Washington Mr..
Percy has strengthened the good opinion
he found awaiting him. His bearing fits

q guara ntee that he will soon master
them. II he has not addressed the Senate
as yet il is probably because he has
questions that have been before that BODY

to encourage a beginner to jump at once
into the fray.
This primary means a canvass of the
state by the two contestants, and that
means a hot time. l the purity of Mr..
Percy's commission il questioned, SO also
are some OF the acts OF Mr. Vardaman
while governor. a report to the legisla-
ture as to his use of certain public money
is unfavorable to him. So on the one
side on the other there will be texts

state will participate in the contest

all RESPECTS of the American spirit of

The Presidents enthusiasm to the
development of the Districts park sys-
tenn and the extension of its boundaries
must in some degree communicate itself
to the members of the House and Senate.
The speech of Saturday night is happy
Indication of the extent to which the
President will be influential not merely
in the securing of enactments making
capital, but particularly in the stimulation
of q keener sense of national responsible
ity for the District and q more complete
living up to that responsibility on the
part of Congress.
Washington has worked hard for many
years to persuade Congress that the duty
constitutionally charged upon it as the
legislature of the ten miles square
comprised not merely a grudginS appor-
tionment of funds for the upkeep of the
municipal government, but the working
out here of a consistent, comprehensive
plan on national basis of a capital be-

and attractiveness. 1t is encouraging
now, when many things remain to be
DONE and when the work of capital max
ing is. SO to speak, at critical point re-
uuiring constant advancement, that the
President of the United States should
stand forth in public and in terms of the
warmest praise point to the work that is
under way as worthy of liberal extension
and call for further activity on the part
of Congress to ensure the harmonious
completion OF the wise plans already
adopted.

A ross-Country Plane Record.

The latest airplane record scored is re-
ported from Paris. Henry Farman carried
a passenger in his machine across country
from Etamps to Orleans, distance of
forty miles. No mention is made of the
speed attained during the flight. That.
however, is not so significant as the fact
that q passenger was carried on a cross
country night for the distance mentioned.
Passenger carrying Is not q matter Of
great dificulty, but II calls for machine
endurance. and Farman's exploit IL
rather a tribute to the stability OF his
apparatus. and possibly to the good
behavior Of his passenger. than an evil
dence Of any material progress In the
art of aviation. Perhaps the most i'm
portant feature of this performance of
Farman's is that he worked across coun-
try. thus carrying his machine over all
kinds Of ground, not choosing his field

bility for airplane work. It has bean
