United States Commerce Chamber Ac-
tive at Last.

The session OF the committee of the
United States Chamber of Commerce
in this city to d:-cuss the new currency
bill affords the first occasion on which
this organization has acted through the
committee in question to express its
views on a pending public issue.
The National Chamber of Commerce
thus far has not had large influence
in directing the course of legislation,
although much OF its activity appar-
entity has been intended TO accomplish
results in that direction. What it is
trying TO do now may give better in
dication of the degree of effective
ness with which it may be expected to
operate in the future
We have read opinions on the part
of leading men of business all over the
country. insisting that the national
chamber ought TO take more posi-
tive point of view in respect to economic
questions, so as to make plain where
its members stand, and to mold events
more definitely. But, despite this rea-
sonable request, it has avoided such &C
lion in the past.

When Discipline Assists Sanitation.

That the troops of our regular army
to the number of more than 1900
should have been free from typhoid
fever during all of the FIVE months
that they were encamped in Texas
ought to be proof OF how sanitation
must be assisted by good discipline.
Compared with Chickamauga, our
camp precedent of 1893, an equally
large force of militia or volunteers
would have given plenty of occupation
to surgeons in fighting typhoid.
Both of these, the State militia man
and the volunteer, no doubt, are as
good men as the regular army soldier,
but neither has been trained to such
implicit obedience of orders. If he is
intelligent, he will respect camp reg
ulations for his own good. The reg
ulars heed them, because they are or
ders This was shown at that time
when thousands of regulars left Chick
amauga without having contracted
typhoid, and yet they had camped on
the same ground which the volunteers
occupied little later.
The camps of the regulars were nice
and clean, while those of the volun-
teers, in some instances, were filthy.
The difference in the troops accounted
for the difference in the camps and the
difference in the results.

sible party boss. By placing the APP
pointive power in the hands of re-
sponsible officer, elected by the people,
the voters, it is commended, would gain
rather than lose in power. Some
who feel the force of the short
ballot argument dislike the con-
centration of unlimited powers in the
hands of one man. A method of meet
ing this objection is by the division OF
territory into districts. in each of which
only one officer is to be elected.
Cleveland has adopted two forms OF
short-ballot idea. The city at large
will vote for only one officer, the
Mayor, whose powers will be very
great, and who by appointment will FIJI
many Offices that are elective in most
cities. The legislative power will be
in the hands of twenty-five men, one
from each of twenty-five wards. New
ertheless, each voter will have only two
Offices to vote for-that of Mayor and
that of Councilman from his ward.
Surely when small number of Offices to
fill is concerned. this seems to have at
tanned the short-ballot ideal.
How this will work out in practice
remains to be seen. The experience of
most cities with ward Councilmen are
not reassuring. The simplihcation of
the ballot at Cleveland may tend to
make it less easy to work petty and
undesirable candidates into Office.

The President and the Threatened
Strike.

1t is expected that President Wilson
will be back here next Monday and
have a conference on the subject of
the action of the conductors and train
men. at which representatives of the
railroad managers and of the two
unions involved will be present In the
meantime efforts are being made to get
Congress to bring about arbitration. A
bill introduced by Senator Newlands
already has passed the Senate to sub
stitute the Erdman act. The same bill
was introduced in the House by Mr..
Clayton, but though reported promptly
by the Judiciary Committee, it was so
amended that delay resulted.
Mr.. Ncwlands' measure provides for
a permanent commissioner of media
ton and Cancellation at a salary of
$500 a year, with an assistant who Us
to get 5000 annually, both TO be ap-
pointed by the President, with the con-
sent of the Senate. The commissioner,
with two other government officials, to
be also designated by the President,
are to constitute board of mediation
and Cancellation. In case of disputes
between common carriers in interstate
eases, or with their employees, this board
would endeavor to bring about an
agreement, and, failing in this, would
arrange for arbitration.
The principal change. credited to the
Secretary of Labor, Mr.. Wilson, lies
in the composition of the board of me
diation and Cancellation. The New
lands-Clayton bill asks for no perma-
nent and independent commissioner
with an assistant, but makes the board
consist of the Commissioner of Labor
Statistics and one other official OF the
government, who has been appointed by
the President with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate. But there seems
to be little reason to have two highly
paid officials serve permanently in the
capacity of members of such a board
with nothing else to do. On the other
hand, the railroad people may object to
the first plan as liable to produce one
sided board OF two members, which
would be, to them, less desirable than
the Erdman law which specifically des-
ignates both members, one being the
presiding Judge of the Commerce
Court and the other the Commissioner
of Labor Statistics.
In neither form does the bill pro-
vide an adequate treatment of the sub
ject. but it may be made to serve the
temporary purpose of averting the pres
ent threatened strike.

The decision of the Reichstag to
grant the addition of 10000 privates
and officers to the peace strength of the
German army is an important victory
for Chancellor Won Hollweg.
whose proposal had been vehemently
opposed by the Socialist Deputies as
committing the fatherland to an enor-
nous and needless expenditure. The
chancellor, in return for their acqui-
escence, conceded to his adversaries the
reform of the drastic military code,
which has just inflicted what were re-
garded as excessive penalties for a
trivial saloon brawl upon reservists
and their subsequent resistance to the
police.
The Kaiser, during the jubilee. took
occasion to reiterate his earnest de-
sire to bring about a lasting honor
able peace among the nations of Eu-
rope. AT the same time, in view of
the continued unsettled international
conditions, he does not intend that the
government shall incur the risk of
military and naval unpreparedness. The
persistent activity of militaristic fac
ton in France; the Roadway gained by
the Pan-Slavic movement in Russia the
division of sentiment among the pow
ers over the protracted controversy of
the Balkan States-these are among
the conditions which had been quoted
by the chancellor to justify the
enlargement of the army to $4,000
men.
Though Germany's plea of regret
table necessity may be admitted. it
is only a question of time until the un-
supportable financial burden of the
maintenance of huge standing armies
throughout Europe will result in par
tial or complete disarmament.

Themselves to Use SAM
tary Article.
ARE DISTRIBUTING LITERATURE

Members Of the District Housekeepers'
Alliance are still working vigorously and
untiringly in the interest of the wrapped
bread crusade advocated by The WASH
ington Herald
The entire membership Of the organiza-
ton has pledged itself to the use of the
sanitary article, as have many of the
members Of the Federation Of women's
Clubs, with which the organization In AZ
filiated-
The women are not only using the
wrapped bread in their own households,
but are urging their friends TO insist
upon its use Literature has been printed
and distributed among grocery stores
and Fairgrounds in various sections of
the city with a view to creating a uni
versal sentiment in favor of the PROPOSE
ton.
The success that has been attained so
far in the campaign IL due in large
part to the efforts of the Housekeepers'
Alliance. which has been working cease
lessly for the last three years In an ef-
fort to bring about the wrapping Of the
bread by all Of the local bakeries.
The women realize that in order to
bring about a more general use of the
wrapped article housewives must be
urged to insist that their grocers sup
ply them with the sanitary product. As
soon as the grocers see that the
customers in their community desire the
wrapped article and desire 1t exclusively
they will lose no time In requesting the
bakers to increase their supplies Of IL.
At present the bakers are turning out
an almostly insignificant percentage OF
their bread wrapped. One large bakery,
which advertised its wrapped product
is turning out only several
hundred loaves of the sealed product
daily. whereas its total output Of bread
runs into the thousands of loaves.

THE OPEN FORUM


To II Editor: May have space in the
Open Forum for a few comments on Mr..
Gilmers article in Friday mornings Her
aid, in which he speaks for the dosy
I am glad to see the statement that
"even the hungry, homeless. heat-mad-
dened, prosecuted dog seldom attacks any
one II let alone" In very great many
cases when a dog is supposed to be mad.
IL he had been let alone and perhaps
given a drink Of water in peace he would
have done no one any harm.
Children. and especially half-grown
boys who lounge about the streets aching
for some excitement. tease and torment
or excite to overexertion the already NY
tormented. heated animal. Moreover.
very many Of the muzzles prevent the
dog from opening Its mouth for "lolling'
the tongue, the only relief from the heat
Of its body that nature allows him. For
dogs cannot sweat as men do. but they
accomplish the same result by exposing
their tongues for the cooling evaporation.
and though the surface 10 less. the mois-
ture Is 80 much greater on II that great
relief il afforded to the hair-burdened
animal. whose skin Is devoid Of sweat
pores Man il said to be safe from sun
stroke as long as he can sweat profusely,
but the dogs safety valve Is his tongue.
Therefore, be kind and quiet with the
dog; give him frequent access to clean
water. and by all means attend to his
muzzle and see that he can open his
mouth to get his tongue out. ] have late
" repeatedly seen dogs with their noses

But on the other hand, the idea of
maintaining dogs for an example, is
most questionable. certainly SO in a city

tached house, except in the suburbs. and
where few have a back yard bigger than

We are burdened with the noise of our

hair. And so 1 say, since most people

CIeyelands Short Ballot Charter.

The new city charter of Cleveland
should give an opportunity for the
thorough testing of the short-ballot
idea, which has grown from the reali-
zation that the voters cannot cast their
ballots with intelligence or discrimina-
ton when they have so many officers
to vote for that they can form only a
hay notion of the functions of the of
fee and the character of the candidates.
One way of getting round this trou-
bic is to concentrate large appointive
powers in the hands of single officer,
whom the voter may hold responsible
for the general outcome of the gov
eminent. In behalf of this plan it is
contended that it does not diminish
the elective powers of the voter, for
when many Offices nominally are cleo
tive, they are really turned over to
the appointive power of the irrespon-
