WORSE THAN RECIPROCITY.

The fact that certain German chemists have sue
ceeded in producing an artificial milk and that it
has been accepted at face value as milk oy UNI
Der of eminent European scientists, is disturbing.
There is no real reason why milk compounded
Of purely vegetable" ingredients should not be
nealthful. Vegetable proeids can be as easily d.
gested and nourishing as animal proteids, nor
have animal fats any special virtues that vegetable
fats or some vegetable fats-do not share. l.: you
can get them into a proper emulsion which will Of
fend neither the eye taste, they ought to make
pretty good milk. Perhaps, aso tney ought to make
a cheaper milk.
But let us say that artificial milk could be made
at half the price cows milk costs; that could be
sold for cents per quart instead of cents Cows
milk would be cut proportonately. In other woris
ten-quart would earn 40 cents per day instead
of 80 cents, $l2 per month instead Of S24. Her
food costs SIS per month, her care and housing quite
a good deal more. There would be no profit from
day to day in keeping cows. And il all the profit
the farmer could look for in her beef he could
hardly afford to finance her.
In this country the per-capita supply of capital
is falling The law of supply and demand is in it.
self sufficient to account for the high price Of meats
One remedy is for small farmers to keep two
three cows more apiece, and not little campaign
has been inaugurated by the Agricultural Depart
ment to that end. But if the farmers find that even
with milk where it is now there is little inducement
to feed stock through the winter, what hope would
there be after the COW had been brought into COM
petition with milk factories? Every farmer would
sell his stock, not buy more; and the price of meat
would rise indefinitely
This happens to be where the values Of
main product and by-product are nicely adjusted.
Granted that artificial milk be made so true to
nature as to satisfy even the demands of the human
baby, it would be paying much too much for our
whistle we're we to take it at the cost of the meat

HOLDING UP THE CIVIL SERVICE PEOPLE

On stationery Of the Democratic national. COM
mittee John F. Costello national committeeman for
the District OF Columbia is sending out a circular
letter asking for campaign contributions. copy
Of this letter which went to civil service employe
Of the Government, has been handed to The Times.
1t contains this suggestive sentence:
EVERY DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN WILL
RECEIVE A DETAILED STATEMENT AFTER
ELECTION OF ALL THOSE CONTRIBUTING,
HAVING A RESIDENCE IN HIS DISTRICT.
II that letter has been sent to any considerable
nupber Of Government employees 1t involves
gross impropriety. II it has been sent to them at
their places Of Government employment, it is, under
ruling of the Attorney General, violation of law.
The Times is not informed to what extent this
sort Of solicitation has been carried on among Gov
ernment employees; but for their benefit it desires to
say just this
There is nothing in the law to prevent Mr.. Co.'S
telo, so long as he is not himself connected with
Government service, conveying veiled threats to en-
poyes that they will be better off IL they contribute.
On the other hand, there is no earthly reason why
anybody should be worried over any threats Of Mr..
Costello the Democratic committee anybody else,
in this regard.
Nobody in the civil service can buy favors with
campaign contributions, and nobody can be punished
for failure to contribute.
Any attempt to reward or punish, after election,
contributions or the refusal Of contributions would
be violation OF law.
If you are civil service employe, give all the
money you please to whatever party you believe in.
But don't give one cent to any party il you don't
please; don't imagine that anybody is going to harm
you il you don't gvie; matter whether he is Re-
publican Democrat, Progressive, or what not. Don't
be held up. Don't be intimdated.

WORD FROM SHERMAN.

Probably it is more for information to the public
that he is in the land of living than for any other
that Mr.. James S. Sherman is out with an appeal
to the voters. His proclamation reminds the public
that he is Vice President of the United States and it
calls attention to the circumstance that he is cand
date on the Taft ticket for reelection.
Very little has been heard from Vice President
Sherman since 1910. In September of that year he
came out of the tranquil ease of the Vice Presiden-
tial Office to oppose Theodore Roosevelt a candi-
date for temporary chairman of the New York State
convention He was the choice of Boss Barnes and
other machine leaders. He and his hackers pre-
tended to have the support of Mr. Taft and by using
the name of the President got the Endorsement Of
Mr.. Sherman by the Republican State Committee.
Mr.. Taft, although he has since bargained with
the authors of that fraud then rebuked them for
their underhand tactics and proved that he had
authorized the of his name. He had, on the con-
trary, urged that no opposition be offered to the
wishes of Colonel Roosevelt.
After this exposure of trickery in behalf of the
Vice President Colonel Roosevelt went into the con-
venon put the Barnes forces to rout and drove Mr..
Sherman back to the obscurity from which he had
reckessly emerged.
II is noteworthy that there is no attack on Mr..

CLOSING AROUND THE TURK.

Military critics are already beginning to compare
the situation now reported at Adrianople with the
historic siege of Plevna, which marked the culmna-
tion of the struggle between the Turk and the Sav
thirty-fve years ago. 1t is assumed that the bulk
of the forces threatening Adrianople, the Turkish
base lying about half way between Plevna and Con-
stanhnope, is composed Of Bulgars, whose territory
stretches from east to west only little north
Of Adranople.
Reports have it that the Turks are considerably
outnumbered, but they have the advantage of protec
ton from powerful fortifcations. Whether eitfer
side possesses general to be compared With the
men who were in command at Plevna is question
that only a battle can answer. The men on both
sides are hard fighters.
Osman Pasha and his army held Plevna against
the Russians from July until December The Turks
drove back the Russians again and again, and his
torians have declared that if the Turks had taken
advantage Of these repulses and pursued the tempo
ariy baffed Russians the war might have ended dif-
ferenty. At any rate, the Mosems proved them
selves valorous in the highest degree. In fact, their
valor rather than their tactics placed the most serious
obstacle before the Russians. Osman was as mighty
in defense as Todleben, his opponent had been at

FRESH-AIR PUPILS BETTER.

The experiment with the fresf-air schooroom in
Brookline, Mass, is especially interesting for the
reason that it has comparative statistics to prove its
worth. The case has just been reported on by the
chief medical inspector of the town schools.
Two rooms were selected in different schools, but
in the same grade. In the room to which the fresh
air system was introduced the children averaged
1897 pounds weight at the beginning of the school
year, and their average height 46.l3 inches At
the end Of the school year the average weight was
49l5 pounds and the average height 478l. In the
ordinary room the children weighed on the average
1921 pounds early in October and 1890 early in
the following June and during the period their
average height increased from As. .98 inches to
In a nutshell, the average weight gained by the
child pupils in the fresh-air room was 3lS pounds
and the average height .68 inches, while the corre-
spending gains in the old-fashioned room were de-
cdedly less being 2.69 pounds and .95 inches. It
should be noted however, that the children in the
fresh-air room were given glass Of excellent milk
every day during the short recess But besides gain
ing the faster physically, the fresh-air children
showed the better results in their studies.
That the fresh-air type of schoolroom is good for
all children, whether they debilitated not will
not need further argument 1t is better in the long
to follow such an invgoratng plan than to stick
to the old way and incur heavy expenses in the
OF anaemic children.

NEWEST MOVE IN UTILITIES MERGER.

A good deal of the mystery that has surrounded
the project for reorganization of Washington public
utilities seems to be removed by the announcement
that still a corporation, the Washington Utilities
Company, is to be formed. This company, it is
stated will succeed to the rights and interests of the
Maryiaud-Virgnia corporation; will have $4,000 au
thorized capital and $l0O,000,000 authorized bond
issue; and-here comes the nub of the thing-wl
issue collateral trust per cent bonds in exchange
for the shares of Washington railway stock that may
come into tine deal.
little while ago the town startled at the
proposal of a capitalization of $3OOOO0OO and a
bond issue of $50,000,0O0. Now come these cheer
full promoters with further expansion of their plans
which looks to total of $l5O,OOOOOO of authorized
capital, and to exchanging bonds for the overvaued
stock of the Washington Railway Company
1t is certainly time for somebody to get busy
with a move to head off this enterprise. Congress
will not meet till December There are five weeks
yet in which the promoters may work without fear
of Congressional interposition. They have been
making progress with their plans Of gathering in out
lying and comparatively unimporant suburban prop
critics; they understood to be assured of the sup
port of a large part of the Washington railway
capital.
The District government mas been looking into
legal aspects Of this situation in the hope of determ-
lining some procedure by which to suspend the pro-
ceedings till Congress gets back the job. What
Is needed now is prompt action. public utilities

Dignity of Labor.

while strolling along Massachu-
sets avenue recently" remarked an
uptown citizen, II noted a workman
OF the force repairing the street
there who was shoveling tarred fill
err gravel over the concrete founda-
ton. Directly in his way stood a
couple Of large empty wooden boxes.
Instead Of setting them over on
the curb, but few feet distant, he
shoveled the gravel around them, ne
cessitating thrice the time and labor.
why didn't you remove those
boxes?' / asked him, after a quarter
Of an hour. You could have done in
less than four minutes what it has
taken you fifteen had you set them

ness to move 'em-not mine

preached a foreman half a block
away and told him of the incident.
"'Oh, the rules of their guilds are
ironclad,' he replied, as he walked
up and set the boxes on the curb
while the laborer looked on indiffer-
emily. "A concrete man wouldn't lift
finger to put out a blazing tar
bucket for filler man, nor either OF
them raise a hand to prevent a

the moral is that charity is on the
