warns Against Typhoid.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star;
I note with interest h a YOU pup
lisbed an article in the Evening stan
irving the opinion of Health onlcer
Chandler on the way to AVOID con
tracing typhoid fever. The words OF
this official should be borne in mind
by every person that wishes to pre-
serve his health. He SHOULD be very
careful in investigating the water ne
drinks, and should always be on the
lookout for unclean conditions and IN
sanitary conditions. 1t is the popular
belief of persons that only the Vaca-
ZIONIST is subject to the dread disease
but Mr.. Chandler points out that the
travelling man is in as much danger
as the summer traveller.
The commercial salesman goes every
where, and oftentimes he cannot gel
the water he knows is pure. In sucf
cases he should drink distilled water oil

That Vice-Chancellor Stevens was
once county counsel of the state OF
Essex" is known by few of the younger
generation Of lawyers that have cases
before him. It was about a score of
years ago when he held that position
under Democratic rule. While fairly
active In politics In those days his rep
utation as a constitutional lawyer was
SO high that he figured In nearly all the
great legal battles of a political or
semi political character hat then agt-
tated New Jersey. His arguments were
so clear and logical that at the oppor-
tune time he easily rose from the bar
to the bench, and, instead of presenting
arguments to others, hears them. Law
yers generally like his decisions for
their lucldity and learning.
Harold E.. Denegar, publicity director
of Asbury Park, told recently about a

town. where the law prohibits screens

man. Let us stand and sing Put on

tisement on it of the beer that gave

E. Allen Smith, chief deputy collector
of internal revenue in this district, was
a delegate from Newark at the ma
tional convention of internal revenue
employees at Detroit recently. Upon
his return he gave his associates in
the local office a graphic description
of how the association is viewed by
President Taft, who spoke at the con-
vention. From the Presidents speech
it would seem that a number of laws
and amendments to laws which the
internal revenue men nave peer trying
to secure will undoubtedly go through
at the next session of Congress.

Barbara Worth" Have Their Vntuous Side.

clever plot hinges. The central figure
in the story is Eric Midthorne mot
withstanding Mary Midthorne's name
on the title page. The mother of Eric
and Mary had mad an affair down
South. Their father had killed the
man in the case. Then mother and
father had died. The two children
had been brought North by Horace
Blagden, their uncle, apparently out of
charity, but in reality because each
child was entitled to a snug nest-egg
of 500, 900 and over, too much for Blag-
den to let slip through his fingers.
Blagden's son was Chetwynd. Chef
wynd was a bully and took delight in
telling the Midthorne children, first
hat their father was a murderer,
second, tina their mother was no bet
ter than she ought to be. On top OF
this, Horace Blagden, with the aid of
a local clergyman-also a Withdrawn
character-infiicts upon the children q
choice bit of cruelty They tell the
whole story to them-practically
prophesy a like fate for each. Chef
wynd does all he can to make this
prophecy true in the casa of Mary
Midthorne. But Chetwynd, who
rushes in a wild bit of anger upon
Eric Midthorne on the night when
Chetwynd's defalcation at the bank
is to be made known. meets his death.
He strikes, Eric lodges, returns the
blow; Chetwynd catches a frail rail-
ing on the bridge to save himself; the
railing gives way; he drops seventy
feet to the rocks below. From this
point on Mr.. McCutcheon mas dictated
a bold course for his hero. The hero,
Eric, keeps this death a secret for
six years or more. 1t is supposed that
Chetwynd has disappeared, fled In dis
grace. For six a his parents
watch and wait for him. How Mr..
McCutcheon justifles this action on his
hero's part makes the story, The
reader will find 1t an interesting story
and a real novel. To say that 1t Is a
real good old-fashioned move is mere
IL another way of saying that 1t is up
to-date for the man who can In this
e write a regular old-fashioned
novel is the man of the hour. 1t is
the best thing Mr.. McCutcheon has
done. not excepting "Graustark." In
addition to it's quality as a genuine
story, told by a genuine story-teller
it may be said that the interest does
not flag at any point. We may further
venture that 1t would seem that Mr..
McCutcheon is a close student of the
style that made Charles Dickens ia
nous.

AN HL-T1MED RAILROAD STRIKE.

eTTa HE strike of shopmen on the Hartman lines and the Illinois
Central, in the West and Middle West, involves the maxi
mum number of $4,000 men. They have no grievance as to
hours or wages, but are simply demanding that the railroads recog-
nie a new federation of all the shop employees in the same man
nr as they now deal with the individual unions. The closed shop
is a part of this ultimatum. In effect the shopmen virtually insist
upon taking over the management of the great railroad properties
As thousands of railroad men re already idle as a result of re
trenchment on the Hartman roads, II army of strikebreakers can
be depended upon to come forward to fill the places of the shop
men who go out. 1t is felt by labor organization leaders that the
shopmen have chosen a most unprOpiious time for a strike that in
no way concerns wages or hours. The outlook for the railroads
is not encouraging. Thousands of men have been laid off and a
general strike at this time can serve only to help demoralze bust
ness. 1t looks as if the strike will prove a fasco.

I'D PHILADELPHIA today is in the throes of a primary election,
6 the most important and exciting in her annals. The city
has been under the absolute control of political brigands
for years. It's interests have been betrayed, its treasury looted and
its decent public sentiment outraged with perfect impunity. In
election after election the reform sentiment of the town has been
beaten and routed by misrule, backed by all the criminal elements
as well, also, as by a large selfish class of business men favored
by the conditions produced by bad government. The election today
hinges on the Republican nomination for mayor and two factions of
the ruling regime are struggling for a prize that means control of
public contracts for millions of dollars as well as of all the city
Offices. The reform forces stupidity chose this time to divide into
two factions with two candidates, so the outcome seems to be only
a choice between the two candidates who represent rival contract
ing interests and opposing brigand camps. Philadelphia is de.
soribed as a representative American city. 1t has been a sorry
enough one in it's politics and government.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The election is past and the Regu-
lars again in the saddle, and everybody
seems perfectly satisfied, except tue
New Idea-Progressives Cor rather tneir
leaders,, who became so grossly lhcoh-
sistent and so greedy for n emoiu-
ment of office that they ruled tnenh-
selves ont of the political arena. Gov
ernor Wilson has experienced mis- nrst
lesson in practical politics, for ne was
forgotten in the slump chiefly because
he tried to ride so many TRICKY
broncos, who we're scratching eacn
others hacks and winking behind his
back; and Their the Governor was uh-
fortunate in his counselors, who were
not popular.
1t Is the old ~story-reap what you
sov-if Won court the whirlw1nd, you
are liable to land anywhere. we can
not play reformed Democrat, and re-
formed Republican, nor take fooisl
misleading names like New Idea,
'Pprogressives,' etc, but come out na'
with that good old name that every IN
telligent man respects, independent
because the spirit of independence
! dwells in every heart; it is the pal
ance wheel and fulcrum OF the UNI
verse. An independent likes to vot'
for whom and as he pleases and not o'
asked by a lot of clerks whether ne IS Z
Democrat or a Republican.
