From the New York Evening Post,


One event which marked the virtual
completion OF our task at Panama re-
ceived but little attention In the press.
Monday Col william G, Qorgas left the
isthmus for New York, accompanied by
two OF his fellow workers, OF whom one
was DR.. s. T. Daring, bacterioiogist At
Ancon Hospital. 1t Is now common
place that the work Of Col. Gorgas made
the work Of Col. Goethals possible. Be-
fore Culebra could be conquered. yellow
fever and malaria had to be overthrown.
The task was accomplished with Col.
Gorgas as commander-in-chief Of the
army OF sanitation In the field and DR..
Darling as the general stan In the bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratory. Their departure
from Panama was hastened by the fact
that for the good as for the wicked in this
world there Is no rest. The summons
had come from South Africa, where the
miners of the Rand. numbering an army
of workers greater than that assembled
at Panama, have been the victims Of the
pneumonia scourge and other endemic
diseases. The authorities at Johannes
burg found 1t natural to turn for help to
Col. Gorgas In his capacity as consult
ing specialist to sick regions OF the
earth. Yellow fever has become his
toric disease at Panama, no endemic
case having occurred since 1908 Malarfal
fever has been reduced from LOO cases
per thousand of the population in 1906
an average Of moro than one case for
each person-to 81 per thousand In 1912.
The attention Of the world will now be
fixed upon johannesburg.

No Target Practice for the President.

The President decides wisely in re
framing from the projected trip TO the
battleship fleet to witness the sea target
practice. Restful though the outing
might be in the main, the heavy con-
cussons of the great guns could not
fail TO be more or less injurious II his
nerves arc in a state of disturbance, as
reported. The President has been under
q heavy strain for many months. With
the exception of a brief visit to Bermuda
and a few days spent in New Hampshire
he has been continuously under pressure
for over A year and half. throughout
the preconvention period and the presi-
Dental campaign. the cabinct-fo: ming
season between election and Inauguration
and, since his induction into office. an
unremitting succession OF difficult tasks
with Congress in session and engaged in
In the circumstances. IL Mr.. Wilson seeks
q respite from official cares he should
find seclusion and quiet. The short sea
trip 10 and on and from the bait. eehip
fleet would doubtless be beneficial, but
one would hardly choose q vessel engaged
In heavy target practice az a place for
rest and nerve recuperation. Further
more. there is an element Of danger In
such an outine and the President of the
United States should never unnecessarily
expose himself TO possible peril. He
takes chances enough ~ it is when he
travels by train, without going into the
range Of possible disaster on warship
practicing with Its heavy guns at sea.

Speaker Clark's attitude toward the
lecture platform at this time was to be
expected. He is "a conscientious pubic
servant. occupying high and important
position. and naturally and properly puts
his official duties above ali other consid-
erations. He is a Chautauqua star and n
poor man. and In sticking 70 his post
here against the temptations of the lee
ture circuit renounces snug sum OF
money. But IL was like him to do IL.
There Is a difference. however. between
his case and that of Mr.. Bryan. and In
Justice TO both men IL should be pointed
out.
With Congress in session the Speakers
presence In Washington is most impcr-
fant. substitute In the chair for
longer time than a day or two is not de-
sirable. 1t is the regularly constituted
official that members OF the House like to
see presiding. and II is in the public In
ferests that ne remain close to base.
Just now. as we all know. the situation
In the House is difficult, and trained
hand at the helm is all important. Mr..
Clark has no assistant, first, second, or
third. He Is the Speaker. and RESPONSE
bic as such for the run of business. AZ
official ne has the confidence OF both
sides of the chamber. and when the helm
Is in his hand things move In order. He
could not absent himself for any length
Of time for any purpose without injury
to the country.
Mr.. Bryan's presence at the State De-
partment is not half so necessary as
that of Mr.. Clark on Capitol Hill. The
Secretary of State has several assistants.
one of them a man emiRently qualified
for first place. The whole country, in
deed. is fortunate in the services of John
Bassett Moore, who knows all the law
and the precedents and takes the chair
of his chief with ease when the latter Is
away. Indeed. when Mr.. Bryan is at
home-that is. in the State Department.
he confers with Rfr. Moore quite as freely
as the President does when Mr.. Bryan Is
on the road either as a political stumper
or as an entertainer. Dropping into the
yernacular, Mr.. Moore as Sub is a
brilliant success
at this moment Mr.. Bryan is out Of
town at the Presidents request, giving
the dairymen In convention a little talk
about their business and about other BUSH
hess. They are serving up in Iowa a
sort OF milk punch. Mr. Bryan isicontrib-
uting a dash OF democracy. Senator Cum
minis a dash OF repub,icanisn. and Mr.
Beyeridge a dash Of bull rnoosery.' No
business at the State Department is suf-
fering. Mr.. Moore is on deck. and within
q hundred yards of the Presidents office.
The widest n~:e in Mexico would not
take us at a disadvantage so far as Mr..
Bryan's absence from town is concerned.

The Water Front.

Favorable consioer alton should be given
to the Recommendation OF the District
wharf committee :hat provision be made
for a survey OF the water frontage or
the city with a view to Its permanent de-
velopment and Improvement. This SUBJ
5ect has been long neglected, and as a
consequence the water front Of the Dis
trict Is one CT the least attractive parts
Of the capital. whereas 1t should in fact
be not only attractive but efficient as a
factor o. LEGAL prosperity. For many
years this subject was held in allegiance
on account OF the iitisation involving the
title to the water front laEds and the re-
claimed Cat areas. But that question
has been settled for some time and very
little has been accomplished in the d.rec-
ton Of the improvement of the water
front a few wharves have been rebuilt,
but along the major portion of the har-
bur conditions are discouraging to the
development Of water transportation AMI
decidedly unpleasing to the eye.
The Commissioners, 1t is reported, are
inclined to include In their estimates
recommendation for a considerable OK
penditure for the fish wharf. which has
recently been taken over as a municipal
enterprise. II Is poSSlDtt " HadAc t1io
a self-sustaining institution and to de-
velop 1t into a most serviceable public
market. without engendcrng the insani-
tary conditions that made the old FISH
wharf menace to the public health. II
Is to be hoped that congress will &C
quiesce in this recommendation and grant
the allowance necessary to build suit
able wharf and market. To this extent
the water front question will be simph-
fled, but there will remain the important
consideration of providing docking room
for river steamers.
An engineering problem is presented in
this connection. The harbor is at this
time too narrow to permit easy tngress
and egress at the wharves and the COM
mfttee designated to consider this Ques-
ton mt one time recommended setting
back the east wall Of Potomac Park sew
erai hundred feet 50 as to widen the
channel. As an alternative to this
project, approval of which by the War
Department Ia doubtful. 1t is suggested
that ths-wharyes extend downstream in
stead OF out-stream. In any case the
subject calls for expert consideration ana
the survey recommended by the wha.
committee Is to be commended as the
most practicable way to reach a salts
factory conclusion. No more tine SHOULD
he lost in giving Washington decent and
efhcient narbor equipment than is neces-
sary to find the most satisfactory method
OF procedure.

New Boneless corsets
ARE THE MEANS OF AT
TANNING THE LATEST
FASHIONABLE GOWN

ING.
Corsets that will enhance the
delicate curves and lines of the
figure are the correct type.
Boneless Corsets serve their pur-
pose well, and are acknowledged
supremacy in imparting the de-
sired effect to the average and
slender figures.
OF course, as is reasonable to
suppose, stout figures cannot
wear these models, and even a
great many Of the corsets known
as homeless are not literally SO.
but possess only the least posi-
BILE quantity for them to perform
their duty.
The very newest models have
boning down the back to give the
perfectly straight lines and
smooth effect over back and hip:
this is in response to the atten.
ton being devoted to the back OF
the figure this season.
Boneless Corsets are shown, in
German tricot. soft brocade and
chamoisette. in white. pink and
blue: soft. but firmly nodded. and
the fabrics are particularly adapt
ed to this type of corset. $3.50 to

Efforts to Uplift Criminals.
From the Chicago Tribune.

crOm Tue SuicaSO 1tauuues
The last ten or fifteen years have seen
q remarkable change In the attitude Of So
ciety toward the criminal. The world over
prisons have been made more hahitahle.
Prison discipline has been made moro hu-
name. The parole has been introduced.
Juvenile offenders are no longer herded
with adult convicts. They are sent to In
situations calculated to reform them and
restore them to society. and not merely
to wreck punishment upon them. Back
Of this changed attitude toward crime and
criminals is the finger of science. Lom-
broso view that the criminal Ia born. not
made. his theory that the criminal Is ''of
race apart" his sweeping assertions
about criminal type" have been radi.
cally upset By later researches. The stu.
dents OF criminology today lay the re-
sponsibility for large proportion Of GRIM
inality directly at the door Of society. II
has been shown by repeated investigations
that an average Of % per cent Of convicts
are detectives. A good share OF the re-
manning crime army. II was likewise dis
closed have been driven to crime and
prison walls by circumstances over which
they had no control. such as social up
heavals which knocked the economic base
from under their feet and left them
helpless; panics and the like.
