FINANCING HOUSING REFORM.

Announcement is made of what may
prove to be the beginning in the United
States of a far-reaching movement to-
ward turning our stupendous life in
surance funds to use in financing home
building, says the Survey. In this,
America would be following the Euro

program, If widely adopted, are fairly
incalculable, but that it would influence
for betterment the housing accommo-
dations of every American city is GER

THE GUILT OF PI.Ass.

BY their unexpected pleas of guilty,
DR.. Norman Plass and his associates
have confessed their questionable prac-
tees in the promotion OF the land de-
Velopment companies of which they
were the organizers. That their Of
lenses were not as serious as the gov
eminent first believed VIXEN it under
took their prosecution is something of
balm in the affair to Dr. PIass his
colleagues and their friends. But the
important fact yet remains that these
men duDed their acquaiftances and
others into investments that proved to
be little better than worthless. Many
savings of lifetime were dropped in
these enterprises by those who will
scarcely be able to recoup them.
For these reasons DR. Plass will ever
be stigmatized as having been one of
the movers in "get-rich-quick"
scheme. This will be regretted by his
many friends, and especially in this
section of the country, where he was
so well and favorably known for so
long a time. AS president of WASH
burn college he labored assiduously
and with success to develop that insti-
tuition to proportions commensurate
with its opportunities. He was inde-
fat1gable in soliciting money for the
financing and endowment of the insti-
tuition. And he was conspicuously
successful in this line of work. But he
seems to have turned his talents in this
direction into improper channels and
the result is disgrace for him and
more or less disaster for many of his
friends who invested their money in
his enterprises at his solicitation.
1t would be charitable tc believe that
DR.. Plass was the victim of bad advice
from his associates, but he was man
Of education and discernment and
surely should have been abba to recog-
nize the line beyond which he should
not have gone 1t all goes to show
that man cannot be too careful in the
conduct of any kind of husiness-that
he should cleave to honest ideals and
purposes. even though a fortune is not
coming his way with rapidity. And it
is good thing that public authority
is SO watchful and energetic these days
in ferreting out and prosecuting fraud
wherever it is to be found, and espe-
cially in the realms of trade and
finance.

SAFEGUARDING PUBLIC HEA1rH.

A steamship arrived at the tort of
New York the other day with a renort
that one of its steerage passengers had
died with the dread Asiatic cholera
during the voyage. Not so many wears
ago and such report would have started
cholera scare in this country and
especially along the Atlantic coast. But
today 1t caused not a ripple of alarm.
The other steerage passengers were
placed in quarantine immediately on
their Decentralization. The shin was
thoroughly fumigated and after a
searching examination, the first and
second cabin passengers were permit
ted to land and go their several WAYS.
Health officers at New York were able
through modern methods to handle
this emergency in sure and certain
fashion. There is no danger of choI-
era getting a foothold ir New York
or in any other place to which the
passengers on this steamship may
travel.
Among other things this is conclus-

United States in the conservation of
the public health. Its progress in this
respect has been greater than that of
any other nation, not only at home
but abroad. Wherever the flag of the
