CONTRAST in TYPHOID MORTALITY.

Two deaths from typhoid fever among $4,000
men, or one death in 10000, is the record Of the
United States Army for 1918.
This remarkable showing of course, was due
to anti-typhoid inoculaton in the army, 1t goes
without saying that, other things being equal the
danger to the average soldier from this scourge is
Infinitely greater than the danger to the city dweller
because in camp life, at least sanitation is not pro-
vided for him; he has to depend on his own initis
tive and training for il.
But there is the record One of the two victims
had not been immunzed and the history of the other
case is in some doubt Before incubation was made
general among the troops the number of deaths was
about three per thousand the equivalent Of total
of $50 he basis of the present enlisted strength
Cities are dealing with the typhoid problem in a
different way from the army. Instead of attempt
ing to- immunize their inhabitants by making the use
of the serum compulsory, they are trying to remove
the cause by filtration of the water supply purifca-
ton of milk, and improved sanitation generally In
oculaton remains the means of protection always
available when persons exposed particularly to
the chance of infection. Its continued success in the
army is ample testimony that it is one Of the most
useful discoveries of modern preventive medicine
The Washington times., 1914-01-02

There is every indication that the banks eligible to
admittance will almost without exception become
members. That was the first real concern about the
organization and the question is answered, the doubt
ended
1t will be long time before Americans will be
able quite to realize what tremendous stride is rep
resented by the establishment of systemauzed
money and banking fabric in place of the chaos
which long has troubled 1t will requirs years,
indeed after the organization is perfected, to get
full realization of the Improvements wrought. The
panics that might have come without the new sys-
TEN, but that will not come because that new system
makes them avoidable, will not impress their lessons
as in the past People will realize, at the end of
generation without panics that it. is long time; but
how many will stop to place the credit where 1t be-
longs?
One thing however, that will be appreciated read
lily enough is the increased money and business ca
paciy of the country the enlarged capacity for carry
ing enterprises, for pushing trade abroad that
will come with the better organization and greater
availability of our banking forces In this direction
we will very presently realize the Importance and
the benefits of what has been achieved.

THE POTATO QUARANTINE.

Some harsh criticism has been directed against the
Department of Agriculture, because of its quarantine
of foregn-grown potatoes The criticism represents
largely the gnorancs of people induIgng it. and is
tirely unfair to the department.
Secretary Houston and his aides, as matter of
fact are decidedly the most candid freetraders the
department has known since it was created. They
have no compunctions at all about letting in foreign
supplies that this country needs. That is just as
true of potatoes as it is of sugar
But in the matter of potatoes there is possibility
of real calamity from reckless importatons. What
would New England give today if the nursery-stock
importations with which the gypsy and brovn-taIl
moths were brought here had never been made ?
That is the parallel case. There is very real danger
of getting few potatoes now and introducing very
grave diseases of the tuber that in coming years
would cut down our production in fashion to be a
calamity.
This is not theory and book-farming nonsense.
1t is experience. The people who don't know such
experiences ought not to discuss such serious sub
jects with the air of inaliy they have been assuming
in this connection.
The Washington times., 1914-01-02
CROP WOULD
RECEIVE VAST INJURY

Potato wart and other diseases are
highly contagious, and without prop
er protection. il is declared by the
Government experts, the American
potato crop win receive permanent
injury. Those opposing quarantine
still maintain that famine win en-
sue. but experts say it Is better to
have famine now and assurance OF
future American crops than to rt-
terIy destroy American Independence
in this crop by letting in destructive
disease that would bring practically
a permanent Impairment
The warning issued today is to
American growers, and aimed at
sacks from Great Britain or contl-
mental Europe. Unless these sacks
are sterilizeds 1t Is declared. they viii
carry potato contagion.
..The reason for this" the warning
says, ''is that recent Inspections have
furnished ample evidence OF the
serious potato diseases among inn
portations Of that staple from Eu-
rope. These include the late blight
disease, silver scurf. both dry and
soft rots, common scab, and the
powdery scab.
'sThe germs of these diseases, the
specialists ind, may be, and un-
doubtediy are. carried in the sacks
in which potatoes have been import
ed from Europe. The sacks. therefore.
provide a source OF infection to
American grown potatoes packed In
them.

THE CURRENCY UNIFIcATIoN.

Business interests are beginning to realize what
gigantic affair is the new banking and currency
system, in which 25,OOo banks of various kinds are
being brought together in one great cooperation.
Whether the scheme will work smoothly is yet to be
determined by experience; nothing else will supply
its place. But one thing is suddenly realized. Ii is
that if the new system is successful its found
ers hope and believe it will be, it will give this corn-
try by far the greatest financial engine in the world
There is no o:her stock of gold comparable to
that held in the United States No other banking ma
ton has such huge banking resources as those of
the United States. None other has so large popu-
lation of such immense wealth.
With all these things, however, we have been
handicapped in the past by banking and money sys-
TEN that made our very power a weakness, our
wealth menace our enterprise danger. Instead
of coordination We have had an inevitable tendency

The new system seems certain to end all this.

A MONUMENT TO GAILLARD.

James Bryce says that in the construction Of the
Panama canal mar has taken more liberties with
nature than in any other instance in history. The
Culebra cut in particular has appealed powerfully
to the popular imagination. In recent article by
the editor of Engineering News the statement is
made that this work is the Largest job of excava-
ton by far that the world has ever seen."
1t appears, also, that not only is it the most
colossal undertaking Of its kind but it has been
ried out with remarkable economy and efficiency.
1t had to be done 1000 miles from the base of sup
plies, with plant bought at the boom prices that
prevailed in 1907, with skilled labor receiving the
highest wages ever known with the heat and rains
of tropical climate, to say nothing OF constantly
recurring floods and slides; but in spite Of all these
disadvantages the cost per cubic yard of excavang
Culebra cut was only two-thrds the cost of rock
excavation for the Chicago drainage canal
And the man who, more than any other, did il
was Gaillard, the pathetic circumstances of whose
death have touched the nations heart. There is
something particularly appropriate in the sugges-
ton that a monument to him be erected on one of
the hills overlooking the cut, where If would stand
permanently as evidence that republics not un-
grateful.
