Harry Lord Speeds Auto
Eight Miles to Save Dog.

Portland. Me, Nov. 19-With his
famous foxhound, Kezar Spot. APP
parently dying from bullet wound,
Harry Lord. the Chicago White Sox
captain, today raced eight miles at
full speed in his big touring car
from the woods of Scarboro to this
city, and reached a veterinary sur

from blezding to death. While
hunting Lord came on his hound
sim gamely following the track of
a fox, though hardly able to crawl.
Some other hunter, apparently, had
shot the dog. The hound, valued
at 5000, Is still in a critical condi-

CLEANING OF LATIN.AMERICAN PORTS.

The very fact that the feat of the Government in
establishing sanitary conditions at the lsthmus is
accepted as marvellous emphasizes the danger which
increased trade with tropical America is likely to ex.
pose our ports.
Probably nowhere along the coast Of Latin.Amer.
ca could an engineering undertaking like the build
ing of the canal be carried on without the enforce
men. Of just such wholesale measures for preventing
typhoid, yellow fever. and other diseases as have
been adopted within the zone. The other plague
breeding places still exist in all their unsantarness
And as intercourse with them increases there is at
least the likelihood that unless they undertake
cleaning up similar to our the difficulty of quar-
antining our ports, and especially the canal zone
itself, will become more and more arduous.
The United States in showing what sanitation
can do toward elimination Of fever has set notablY
example for all the tropical cities The government
of Ecuador is the first to profit by it, having already
asked US the loan of Colonel Gorgas to determine
the best means of cleaning up Guayaquil, its prin.
cipal port.
Probably this is the most horribly unhealthy spot
along the whole Pacific coast and it is we'll to begin
there. But it is, after ALL only beginning 1t is to
be hoped that similar energy will be shown in regard
to other cities along the tropical loral that
menaces to health. that later all these
sources Of danger will have been removed.
To appreciate what an astounding event this
would be. and how great this indirect benefit from
the building Of the Panama canal, il is only neces.
sary to recall that the torrid zone is the home of
all the great plague diseases and that for centuries
they have been regarded as the natural and .uevi.

MR.. PUJO's PROCLAMATION.

There could hardly be better illustration Of the
absolute necessity for sane statesmanke, construc.
tive measures to regulate the instrumentalities OF
modern enterprise than Is afforded by the interview
in which Congressman Puo discusses clearing houses
and exchanges. Mr. Pujo's expressions are sig.
niRcant in view Of his headship Of the Money
trust investigation.
Mr.. Pujo believes the stock exchanges, produce
exchanges, ETC., as we'll as the New York Clearing
House Association, violating the antitrust law
and should be prosecuted. Moreover, ne favors ex.
cludng these offending institutions from use Of the
mails pending prosecution.
These proposals illustrate the dangerous extremes
to which enthusiasm, unrestrained by information
or understanding may carry its victims. 1t is very
probable that such institutions as the stock exchanges
the cotton exchange the produce exchange, etc.,
could be made better So could almost anything
else. Doubtless they are instruments in the accom-
plishment Of bad purposes at times So are the
mails. But would it be worth while to abolish the
churches for imperfections to stop the mail service
because get-rch-quck operators have employed 1t :?
The whole organization and mechanism Of mod
ern business require exchanges Of manifold kinds.
They bring dealers together and standardze wares.
They make possible a market representing the con-
sensus Of buying and selling opinion As to values.
They protect the public interest They make ii pos.
sibe to aggregate together and consolidate the scat
tered investment capacity Of the community, so that
big things may be done in the big way that modern
conditions necessitate
It would be about as reasonable to order the mail
cars burned up, because lottery tickets were sold by
mail or to suspend the operations Of the railroads
because some shippers get rebates-as to hold the
great exchanges responsible for some wrongs that
are committed by reckless people through their in
strumentality. It's the burglar that must be pun.
ished; not the man VINO innocently made the tools
he used; tools that are used with good purpose and
intent in thousand cases where once they are used
crminally.
The clearing houses have in times Of stress done
for lame and limping money system what laggard
law ought to have done through scientific measures.
Doubtless there have been justifcations for dis
affection with some things they have done. But to
destroy the clearing houses and leave nothing in
their places would be only little this side Of in
sanity
Such aarmist pronouncements as that which Mr..
Pujo has voiced in his general condemnation Of the
exchanges and clearing houses calculated to add
to the difficulties Of achieving reforms that are
needed in many places throughout the business and
financial fabric. Mr.. Pujos method recalls the prac-
tice Of the ancient doctor VINO, no matter how the
patient was ailng, gave him dose to throw him into
fits and then proceeded to cure the fits; he was
strong on FITS"
