Secretary Byan'S Grape Juice Policy

More and more, as time passes,
does Secretary Bryan's grape juice pol
icy in dealing with Mexico show his
incapacity. If Mr.. Bryan had never
occupied a responsible position he
might have gone down in history as
one of our great men. Now we know,
and future generations will know from
a reading of history that he is great
only as a visionary theorist. AS a
doer Of things practical he is lament
able failure. With no definite end in
view he sent an army Of some six or
seven thousand men to Vera Cruise and
kept it there six months at cost OF
twenty million dollars in money and a
few hundred lives and then withdrew
it Just when there was actual need for
our soldiers on Mexican soil. Mr..
Bryan only knows why the army was
Withdrawn the last Of October. Con-
ditions were no better than when the
army was sent there. Law, order and
peaceful government for Mexico was
no nearer in October than it was last
May.
Two weeks ago, after ffty-odd Amer
lean soldiers and civilians had been
killed and wounded on the Arizona
border Mr.. BRYAN took notice and a
drink Of grape juice and sent a small
SQUAD of soldiers down there to notify
the Mexicans that they must stop kill
ing Americans. This had the same
effect as if he had promised TO treat
them all to grape juice if they would
stop shooting across the American Dor
der. As the shooting and killing still
went on he ordered 5000 soldiers to
the border this week. To screw his
courage up to this point we are not adj
vised how much grape juice was con-
sumed. We do know, tho, that the
administration Mexican policy is
dead, dismal failure.
The Michigan editor failed to show
that Roosevelt was habitual drinker,
or that he ever got drunk, but the evil
dence did show that when he thought
it necessary to drink something stronger
than water, he drank whiskey, and
made no secret of it. He does not be-
lieve in strong drink, but when it will
do good he takes it just as he would
any other strong medicine. He does
not believe in war and killing, but
when it is necessary to go to war to
bring about peace we all know he
would not have diluted his war policy
with grape juice.

To Point a Moral and AdOrn a Tale

In the past The Echo has had occa-
sion to call the attention OF its readers
to conditions that were not calculated
to promote the best interests OF this
community. Sometimes the conditions
were due to commission and again to
omission. In other words, sometimes
some men did something they should
not have done, and at other times
failed to do what they should have
done. In this way we have made enc
mics and as a consequence lost bust
ness. We do not just now fecall that
fear of loss OF business ever deferred
the editor Of The Echo from doing
what he believed to be right, or that
he Crooked the pregnant hinges OF
the knee that thrift might follow fawn-
ing" tho he did once decline to be
used to help someone pull chestnuts
from the fire, tho the saving of the
chestnuts from being scorched might
have been a pretty good thing for the
town.
One day an ex-councilman walked
into the Office If these lines fall under
his eye he will remember the circum-
stance--and said, Magyar, you know
that is wrong and ought to be stopt,"
referring to a matter then before the
council. why don't you give 'em
hell" We thought he might be per

fectly right, having once been mem
Der of the council himself, he ought to

Echo. sign your name, and we'll print
it." "Oh, I don't like to do that.
They'll get mad at me-" When we
remarked, Won't they also get mad
at the editor of The Echo?" he re-
piled, oh, you don't care if they do.
Give 'em hell.
The ex-councilman did not write the
letter, and perhaps the city might al
this time be better off if the editor OF
The Echo had adopted the suggestion
and give EN- help himself, with con-
sequent i'll will and loss of business as
a final result to himself.
We have learned in the journey thru
life that a lot of people honestly believe
certain things are wrong and should be
corrected, but themselves want to avoid
the brickbats. II any are coming they
want the other fellow to stop them.
Which calls to mind a cynical remark
made in our hearing in Seattle the
other day: All men are knaves but
you and l, and I begin to have some
doubts about you"

viii Serve Lunches in Schools

Hosting The Danger Signal

From more than any other one cause
fires result from somebody's careless
ness. Examine your chimneys, stove
pipes and caution children about fire.
II the stove or pipe is close to papered
wall, during moderately cold weather
there may have been no danger, but
when zero weather comes making nee
essary unusually hot fires, there is
danger. This is the time to remember
the ounce of prevention. Water is
none too abundant. 1t is everyones
duty to prevent an outbreak.

who attempt to keep the general rec

GET RID OF PLAGUE SPOTS
Poorly Ventilated, Dirty and Crowded
Habitations Are Disgrace to
the City They Dsfigure.

Houses were first designed as a
ing sickness, storms and inclement
weather says a bulletin issued by the
Chicago health department. At other
times, when the hardy people did not
need this protection, they used houses
infrequently. From the ancient. rude
houses have developed the modern
homes, where summer weather may
be had in deepest winter The ten
dency is for greater comfort and con-
venience and the Open-air propagan-
dist is more and more meeting popular
acclaim Sun porches, sleeping rooms
widely accessible both to air and sun
rays, are deemed necessary to the best
homes.
But homes of this kind are fewer
by far than the residences Of the
humber classes and there are many
homes filed to overcrowding that en-
JOY only primitive means for ventila-
ton. Such houses are simply general
ing beds for the bad-air diseases. In
many cases tenants may know of their
dangers, but the family purse deters
movement to more healthful surround
ings.
1t should be brought home TO the
owners of unsafe, dirty and neglected
houses that these should be made de-
cent. A good modern house may al
ways be rented in any city. Profits do
not depend on poor houses, and the
tenant of ac Oh, poorly ventilated,
dangerous 1iretrap never painted nor
repaired, does not get his moneys
worth. In short, as a rule, he pays
the highest price for the poorest &C.
commodations.

CITIZENS AND PUBLIC HEALTH
Phyeica Well-Being Most important
10 Community as Well as to
the Individual.

There are few things of so great i'm
portance to the individual as his
health. Upon it depends largely his
attitude toward life and his relation
ship TO his fellow man. Generally
speaking, the physically we'll are pros.
diseased unsuccessful and inefficient.
The individual chronically poisoned
by malaria or by hookWorm infection
finds his daily work onerOus and the
fruits Of his labor give but little pleas
ure. The consumptive would gladly
exchange his bank account for physi-
cal health. Who would not give his
material wealth if by so doing he
could bring back loved ones lost pre-
maturely by fatal disease?
The health Of the community is the
combined health Of those living in it,
The relation Of the citizen to the
health of the community is, therefore.
his relation to the health Of his neigh
bors and of those living in the same
city or state.
The health Of the community should
be OF interest to every individual, for
upon it depends the welfare of him
self, of his family and Of his fellow
citizens. Upon the health of the peo-
pie depends the happiness and pros
perity of the community. Without
health there can be no real prosperity
and such material success as may be
attained is of little benefit
To the extent that the inhabitants
Of community are sick the commu-
nifty itself is diseased. The community
has health only in so far as the people
are free from disease. To a commu-
nifty health is a valuable asset; it in
sures prosperity, it attracts people. 1t
increases the value Of the land. Many
letters are received daily at the public
health bureau at Washington from
people who are contemplating buying
land and moving from one state to
another, asking about the health con-
ditiOno of certain localities
