They are published solely for the pur-
pose of moulding and crystaling public
sentiment, to the end that the things
complained of may be corrected. With
out public sentiment there can be no
reform, but when the public con-
science is once aroused, as they say
in Arkansas, hell and high water can't
stop it.
If The Eagle were satisfied, and the
public were satisfied, we would squat
right here in the mud and filth,
amounting to no more than a wide
place in the road, until Gabriel toots
his horn.
Thank goodness, such conditions do
not exist, and blind man can see
that The Eagles efforts are bearing
fruit. A bond issue for street paving
recently carried, city manager has
been appointed, and the whole COM
munity is aroused and the public pulse
is fairly throbbing for greater things.
Dearly beloved, there is method in
what The Eagle is doing and we are
happy in the knowledge that our eff
forts are touching the spot.

State superintendent of Education
F. M. Bradley has offered an advanced
idea on the manner of selecting county
school superintendent. He suggests
law placing their selection in the
hands of the county school board, the
same as city superintendent are Sc
lected by the city school boards. He
says in this way the office would be
taken out of politics and men selected
on their qualifications, rather than on
their ability to get votes.

"AND THERE SHALL BE NO MORE
WAR;"

One of the strongest evidences yet
given that sectionalism in this country
has been lost in universal love has
come to light this week. Federal Gen.
eral Daniel E. Sickles, now past 92, is
being prosecuted in New York for the
emblezzlement of $4,000, and Mrs.
Longstreet, widow of the great Con-
federate General, has offered to raise
the money among the followers of Lee
to save the old-time enemy of her
distinguished husband. Mrs. Long

MISSED THE EAGLES MEANING

1t gives us that tired feeling" to
hear of some official or individual
making slight remarks about The
Eagle because it refers occasionally
to the deplorable condition of the
streets, sanitary conditions, etc. They
claim that such reference will injure
the town abroad, and also think we
are trying to use our frog sttcker"
on somebody for failure of duty. For
all such who are unable to see the
point, permit us to say that these
references have a deeper meaning.

Department of Agriculture today.
One of the visitors at the department
was Samuel Evans. general manager of
the Crown mines in the Transvaal He
came to the bureau of entomology to
interview DIR. l.. o. Howard, whom he
him any how as one of the leading fiyo-
phobes of the scientific world.

Disease Conquered on Canal.
Mr. Evans consulted with his resident
physicians, but they were not able to
help him. Then he was reading the re-
ports of the Panama canal work, and he
was struck with the fact that pneu-
monia, which at first had been serious
ailment there. Mad almost vanished. The
labor situation was about the same, "A

quantity and yet there had been nothing
done to combat it.
Sanitation seemed to be the only thing
to account for the condition. and Mr..
Evans went all the way from the Trans
vaal to Panama to study the situation.
His observations and his interviews with
Col. Gorgas, the chief sanitator, all tend
ed to crystalline the suspicion that has
been forming in the scientific world for
some time that pneumonia after all is a
germ disease, and that ii is insect-carred,
probably flycarried.
To Start Sanitation Crusade.
Mr., Evans sails for Europe today on
his way to South Africa, and after he
gets back to the mines he intends to
start the same sort of sanitation
crusade that has been successful in
Panama. There is, of course, no question
as to it's effect on the general health
conditions. but its particular effect on the
pneumonia fatalities will be watched by
the scientific world with especial interest
The public health service says there is
no doubt about pneumonia being a germ
disease, and that it has been expert

transmitta.ble and If Mr.. Evans goes about
cleaning up his camps properly there is
no doubt that he will be able to elimi-

such appointments. This practical civil
service policy has been reflected in the
nigh record for efficiency which has gen
orally prevailed in the District service.
Nevertheless. the Commissioners have

the enactment of a bill to protect in

ties in the District of Columbia. which
was introduced at their instance as S.

subject has shown the Commissioners
that some notifications of this bill are
necessary. as if literally construed it

reputable bankers and brokers. and the
commissioners have in course of prep
