A JUST MAN.

Benjamin Altman, the New York
merchant, who recently died, did no
believe in the Carnegie idea that he
dies disgraced who dies rich.
Though Mr.. Altman did an enor-
nous business, he was SO quiet and
modes: that even his intimate friends
we're surprised to know that he left
an estate valued at S5O.O0O,OOO
The son of a Jew immigrant he
began his business life in small
way. Under his able management il
became one of the great establish
ments of New York. He employed
the most intelligent clerks and paid
them beyond the prevailing wage
scale. He looked after their welfare
and particularly their moral well
being.
OF his great fortune he left only
100000 to his immediate heirs. The
rest he distributed among his init
mate associates and the employees in
his business and gave munificently
to art. All persons in the Altman
sore in New York City who worked
there 90 years received $4,000 each.
Those who had been employed more
than Is and less than 20, S1,500. and
TO each employe over Is years, $1,000
His art collection. estimated as worth
s15,000.000, he bequeathed to the
Metropolitan Museum.
Mr.. Altman did not die poor but
In the end gave his wealth to good
purposes. The men and women who
had been long in his employ aided him
10 reach success and he showed that
he appreciated their services. He
realized that he could not have sue
ceeded bu; for the help OF others and
he did not forget them in his final
hour. He was just man.

OUR EFFICIENT ARMY

They have not had much chance in
recent years to demonstrate their her
oism in war, but their achievements
in peace have been such as TO excite
the admiration of the world.
The work of Colonel Goethals In
building the Panama canal will not
soon be forgotten. The work OF Sur
geon General Blue in Kidding San
Francisco and other cities OF the
plague will stand always as monu'
msnt to the intelligence and courage
of the army.
The work of Major James E. Nor
moyle in planning for the sudden mo-
bilisation of troops on the Texas Dor
der two years ago and more recently
in establishing the great camp al
Gettysburg, where $4,000 civil war vet
Grams were accommodated with only
few casualties. was one of the great
est triumphs of modern military SAM
tation. Not many nations can hoast
of an army that could handle the res
cue work that was necessary after the
Ohio foods in the same efficient anG
quiet manner that characterized tht
performance of Major Normoyle anC
his assistants some months ago.

HIRING DOCTORS THE CHINESE WAY

every effect there is cause. Deter
mine what is the matter with you and
one who knows hygiene will tell you
the cause and the cause, nine times
out of ten. will be found clearly to be
the result of violation of natures laws.
The old Romans went the Chinese
one better. For century they never
had doctors, so familiar were they
with, and so religiously did they OBJ
serve the laws of hygiene. Everybody
ought to be able to get along without
a doctor OF medicine, though acct
dents may make employment of sur
geons necessary to bind up wounds or
set broken bones. Health is no more
and no less than observance of ma
lures laws. AS a lawyer points the
way to getting off with the lightest
penalty for crime, so a doctor pre-
scribes medicine with the same pur-
pose in view, and to assist nature.
One of these days 1t is going to be
as much a disgrace to get sick as to
get drunk. Drunkenness, it is to be
remembered, is due solely to drinking
too much liquor. What is the differ.
nee between that and eating too much
food?

Secretary Garrison was well within
the bounds of conservatism when he
said that the personnel Of the officers
of the army has never been better or
higher than at the present time. Amer
leans have reason to be proud OF their
army. 1t is not as large as it might
be. and it has not been tested In war
in recent years, but its achievements
in peace have been so manifold and so
superior in character that the highly
drilled military organizations OF Ger
many, France and England seem less
formidable despite their great numer-
ical strength.
Il is true to a certain extent that
the strength of the army depends upon
the character OF the enlisted men, and
that these men are not wholly salts
fed with their lot 1t may also be
true that in some instances the officers
do not make the enlisted men feel that
they are necessary integrals of the
army of the United States.
On the whole, however, the officers
of the army include some of the great.
est men we have in the country today.

The Chinese hire doctors to keep
them, we'll rather than TO cure them
Of sickness. So ong as Chinese doc
tors patients are in coed health he
gets his pay. When they fall sick his
pay stops notwithstan, ing his services
must continue.
This is an ideal arrangement when
the patient sedulously observes the
doctors orders, which are in keeping
with the mandates of the laws of n.y.
giene. Sickness is consequent upon
a violation of these laws. To be well
the average person merely has to obey
them.
Have you rheumatism of one kind?
To get rid of it, stop eating meat Have
you stomach trouble? Cut down your
food consumption. Can't you keep
down your flesh? Diet and do most of
your eating before o'clock in the
afternoon. Have you cold? Keep
your feet dry hereafter. Do you suffer
from headaches? Chances are it is be-
cause you are constipated. Do your
eyes pain? You may use them too
much in reading or in sewing. For

ANoTHER rREcEpENT SHATTERED

ANOTHER PRECEDENT SHATTERED
Another precedent has been ruth
lessly smashed by the Wilson admin
istration, this time by Secretary
Daniels.
For years the government has been
following out the farcical proceedings
Of calling for bids on armor plate and
the manufacturers Of armor plate
have put in their bids, identical with
one another and never varying a cent.
And the government mas given them
the contracts, dividing the work up
among them, or giving the contract
to one of them knowing that the con-
tractor would himself divide it.
In this way the government has en-
couraged contractors TO get together
and gouge it,
When Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels opened the first bids made since
he came into the office he found that
the bids of the Midvale, Carnegie and
Bethlehem corporations were identical
10 cent He rejected them all, say
ihS AhCiO dNpCdl GU " DC al dEIcctucuL
between the three concerns to control
the armor plate business and to appor-
ton the contracts with the govern
ment among them. He said further
that the corporations must make their
bids lower and competitive or he
would consider giving the contract to
an English concern which had bid
lower. In consequence Of his stand
the Midvale company presented a new
bid which was lower by $111.S75 than
the first bids submitted by the three
corporations, and it got the contract
along with the consent of the secre-
tary TO apportion the work among the
other armor plate manufacturers if it
wished.
On the proposition to have the Will
son administration continue it's pre-
cedent-smashing policy, the country,
we take it, is unanimous.

the progressives Of New York city are

II is because Tammany's reform oppo-

when we find a man in politics who
is there for no personal gain OF geld or
