An End of Civic Ills.

All good citizens will be encouraged
to know that at last panacea has
been found for the cure of all civic
Ills. This is the end to which we
have all devoutly looked for
years. 1t has finally been achieved
by the National Reform association,
which, launched in the east where
presumably the demand for reform is
most urgent, already claims to have
1000 members. 1t proposes to ex-
tend its membership all over the
country and weed out crime and graft
wherever they abound. The scope
Of the association is shown in this
article of its constitution.
The purpose of the association shall be
to create public sentiment in favor OF
better administration, when needed, of
public officers, and to bring enlightened
public sentiment into action to secure
the nomination and election Of honest
and efficient public Officers 10 labor
for the enactment and strict enforcement
of laws that will help to make for moral
and political cleanliness. and to make
thorough investigation for evidence against
gambling, disorderly or immoral places of
any kind, and to mail and deliver any
proper literature that will hell 10 advance
all other good and pr32sr movements that
VIII make better places in which to live,
and to protect our members in what is
right.
Surely this is a laudable purpose
to which any person believing in good
government can subscribe. But some
how, it seems the association has laid
on it's president an onus which no one
man ought to. be expected to bear
and in so doing it gives out the impress
sion of having underestimated its
self-imposed task, for in its constitu-
ton IL again states:
1t is the duty Of every member to report
in writing any wrongdong in their neigh.
torhood to the president, who will see that
it is stopped.
If this organization can wipe out
all forms of civic wrong by so simple
process, then it is, indeed, the long
looked-for system We regret that we
have not the presidents name and
address at hand for the benefit of
those who might have cases to report.

DRINKING THE HEMLoCK."


Boston Transcript; Wanted by the
House OF lords: A chaser" for hemlock.
New York Tribune Recent events IN the
British House OF Lords prove once more
that the old guard never dies II It gets half
chance to surrender.
Baltimore American; The House OF
Lords passed a resolution eensuring the
government In the matter OF advising the
king to create new peers. Hereditary legls-
louon 10 dying hard, but there Is no place
for II to live and flourish in modern human
government, ana its last gAsps will not be
regarded with any other feeling than that
Of . mild pity.
New York World: The House OF Lords
has initiated the wisdom Of Davy Crockett's
coon. Since no one on either side wished
TO see the number Of lords doubled, ant
since the liberals were certain to take tina
step IL driven to Il, the upper house has
shown discretion in its surrender. There is
no way known TO history by which a small
privileged class can permanently hold out
against q nation resolved.
Now York Sun: The house OF lords has
swallowed its medicine reluctantly but
completely. From the moment that It be-
came clearly known that King George V
was prepared to comply with the wishes of
the government the result was inevitable
the only choice left being between allow
ing the House OF Commons bill limiting
the powers OF the lords TO pass and resist
ms IL when enough new peers would be
created to overcome the hostile majority.
The precedent Of 1882 has been strengthened
and the threat of new creations has suf-
feed to make the lords Yield.

Underwood as Latest apossibilifv.

underwood as Latest Possibility"
That a movement is at work in the
south to promote the presidential
candidacy of Chairman Underwood
of the ways and means committee is
not subject to doubt. The Houston
Post, party oracle of the anti-Bryan
persuasion, admits it ana takes occa-
sion to point out the seriousness of
Mr.. Bryan's attack on Mr. Underwood
because 1t happens at a time when
Mr.. Underwood is being widely mem
toned as one worthy OF the presiden-
tial nomination, 1t would not be the
best politics, though, to undertake to
rear his boom on the basis of his fuss
with Bryan.
In the same editorial the Post con-
tends that Mr.. Underwood is a man of
parts, or he would never be where he
lie In the party's councils and the ma
tons service, But as between Mr..
Underwood and Mr.. Bryan this proves
nothing. Surely the Post would not
admit that the democratic party would
three times nominate q candidate for
president who was not a man OF parts.
Mr.. Underwood's powers are quite
freely admitted, and not until Mr..
Bryan's recent utterance, had we
known of his integrity being publicly
questioned.
But the interesting feature of the
Underwood candidacy is to be found
in the evident determination OF the
south to regain aseendaney in ma
tional affairs If that be possible. 1t
was at first felt that in order to foster
this ambition, the south would unite
with the east and promote the can
didaey Of Woodrow Wilson, south
ern born and eastern bred man, but
circumstances alter cases. So many

Political Advertising.

III a published newspaper letter A.
! G. Rankin, a highly intelligent and
prominent republican residing at Ok
ford, Neb., brings strong indictment
against the direct primary because of
the tremendous power it delegates to
the newspaper and calls the press as
a whole to account for neglecting it's
duty to instruct the voters as to the
candidates entitled to support. He
goes on:
The county papers look like live stock
journals during the male animal season.
IL that political advertising does not look
good to the editors, the silver they receive
for 1t certainly feels good. and they proceed
like the live stock journals to give little
editorial pedigree of each candidate, being
very careful not to mention any blemishes
or defects that might enlighten the voter.
but might cripple their advertiser.
THE Bee is not one OF the papers
included In this pen picture. On the
contrary, 1t is as hercely condemned
for doing just what Mr.. Rankin asks
for-pointing out the superiority of
one candidate over another and max
ing definite recommendations to ena-
BILE the party to put up a winning
ticket OF strong. capable men, with
representation accorded to all the
various elements of the party that
must be enlisted in the fight at the
election.
Yet the advertising columns need
not be closed to candidates who wish
to toot their own horns. The news
paper sells advertising space to people
who want to buy publicity and office
seekers who have to buy publicity find
1t cheaper and more effective to use
newspaper space than to pay postage
on circular letters or hire billboards or
engage a brass band properly pla-
carded. AS every candidate knows,
buying advertising space in The Bee
buys nothing else. The Bee exercises
the right to commend and to criticise
freely, and the knowledge of it's read
ers that its endorsement is not pur-
chasable is what gives this expression
of its unbiased judgment whatever
force 1t exerts.

On with the White Plague rirht

Science has not yet won it's fight
with the great white plague. The
war still wages with undated fury.
That is to the credit Of science. But
much has to be done to give the forces
of health anything like the upper
hand. General tuberculosis, the gov
ernment's census report shows to be
still most formidable foe.
In Maryland during 1910 2O,sO5
deaths occurred from all causes and
1852 were from tuberculosis. New
York state had 147.67S deaths all
told, and 1915 from tuberculosis
Massachusetts, shows 54,3O1 total
deaths and $500 from the white
plague. Ohio lost 65,459, 7,2Os
from tuberculosis. The figures for
Pennsylvania stood, 1885 and 49,
2s5. respectively.
These percentages are much too
large to warrant and rhapsody over
what has thus far been accomplished
or any relaxation of effort. The good
to come from the general campaign of
education. combined with the scien-
tific agencies combating the disease,
is not to be deprecated, but the
situation makes itself very plain from
these figures. which are not greatly
unlike those from other cities. Tuber-
culosis is one of the most insidious
of diseases and 1t had gained such
deep-seated root and far-reaching
power before the country awoke to It's
rapacity that what has been done can
be regarded as little more than a
beginning. One of the chief dangers
in this as in similar undertakings is
in the bareback Of enthusiasm. We
are too prone to let our zeal cool off
after the first flush of what seems to
be initial success. All our combined
efforts and enthusiasm need to be con-
served and constantly employed to
produce results in this endeavor.

The Rising Steel Raromstsr.

While the government is proceed
ing with its steel Investigations, the
largest steel companies are increasing
their working forces to get out the
orders that are coming for new ma
terial. According to Dun's Review
the plants are operating a greater fin
ishing capacity than they have at
any time this year. Some of them
are turning out steel at the rate OF
so per cent OF their maximum ca
pacity. whereas less than two months
ago they we're running on 60 pei
cent basis. During July the United
States Steel corporation had a heavy
increase in it's untitled orders.
Steel is quite generally taken as the
trade barometer. If it is a true in
dex, then we may conclude that the
general commercial situation is i'm
proving. AS a matter of fact, Dun's
offers additional information purport-
ing to show that IL is. There we're
fewer commercial failures in July
just past than usual. Also the aggre-
gate Indebtedness reported for the
same month, while greater than for
July. 1909, is less than it was in
July of 1907, 1908 or 1910. These
are considered favorable signs in the
business sky.
So much has been said about the dis
concerning influence upon industry and
capital of the various governmental
inquiries pending or completed, as to
give undue prominence to the facts
just cited. Undoubtedly such investi-
cations by congress or the Depart
ment of Justice would be expected to
reflect upon business, but if they have
in the present case then the steel
barometer has failed to record them as
serious. OF course, barometrical
needles are more sensitive where
stocks are affected by governmental
action, but it is not stocks but tang
ible trade that is here involved. One
may not turn, therefore, either to the
depressing influence of the investiga-
tons, nor the sustaining power of
United States Steel control for the key
to the present situation, which seems
to rest upon the more natural basis
of actual business conditions,

The refusal Of the Holy Russian synod

ordered the police to exercise special vigil

narrow intolerance which psrVades that
