THE WORK OF GORGAS.

In making Colonel Gorgas Surgeon
General of the United States Army
President Wilson paid a high trib-
ute to the man who did more than
any other, sale olonel Goethals, to
mako the Panama canal possible.
The names of Gorgas and Goethals
will be linked in the history of that
feat of engineering. The master
builder who sent tropic waters tum-
bling through a concrete sluice, to
bear the navies of the world between
the Eastern and Western oceans,
would have labored in vain had it
not been for the sanitarian who
toiled beside him. Gorgas found the
Canal Zone a pest spot On the face of
the earth. He made of it one of the
most healthful places in the world.
The bones of the French pioneers
were mute warning to the world
that disease and death were more
effective barriers to the building of
the canal than any engineering diff
culties. Gorgas accepted the chal-
lenge. How well he did his work all
the world knows.

TIE D. & H. STRIKE.

Three or four years ago an Eng
lish cotton mill discharged two en-
ployes who had refused to do certain
work of keeping their machines in
order. It was maintained by the en-
plOyes that the contract between the
unions and the employers required
that this kind of work should be
done by expert machinists.
Almost in a day, to the astonish-
ment of the world, 10000 mill work
ers we're taken out of the mills and
a great section of the industry tied
up tight.
The offending mill owner surren-
dered. The facts would not sustain
him in the court of public opinion.
The employees went back to work as
promptly as they had quit.
The Delaware and Hudson strike
of a day seems to have been very
similar, tieing up almost instantly an
entire railroad system because the
employees believed an injustice had
been done two or three of their num-
Der. The railroad company surren-
dered. but not till after the employees
had been put in the seemingly un-
fortunate position of refusing arbi-
tration. The case was one which
peculiarly should have loaned itself
to the processes of arbitration. The
determination whether a raise OF
wages ought to be granted involves
investigation and long inquiry. The
decision whether an injustice has
been done as between employer and
employe should be easier, and the
arbitrators' decision should be ac-
cepted willingly and in all good faith.
It is altogether creditable to the rail-
road company that it should have
made the full measure of concession
which the public interest required;
but the main question, whether in
Justice had been attempted, ought to
have been decided. The precedent
would have been worth while.

OUR REDUCED IMPORTS.

Not only Free Traders but Protec-
tiOnists are trying to explain why
the figures for our foreign trade IN
der the first two months OF the new
tariff law didn't seem to square with
what was expected by either side.
In those first two months the coun-
try was not flooded with imports.
On the contrary, imports were S5O,-
100000 less than for the correspond
ing months in the previous year.
Nor we're the exports greater. as
they ought TO have been to fit one
theory-that if we remove or dimin-
ish discrimination against foreign
races they respond in kind. If we
let their goods in they take more OF
ours. Our exports in these two
months fell more than fifteen and a
half millions. So to some folk there
appears TO be another side of the
puzzle.
But perhaps the whole thing is
simple enough. There was = decline
of Industrial activity at the time the
new tariff law went into effect. II
may have been caused by anticipa.
ton of possible evil effects of the
new duties or it may have been due
in any event. But whatever the
cause the trade recession was here.
The buying power of a nation falls
with its earning power. The earning
power of a nation is on a descending
scale when there is an Industrial re,
lapse
The protective tariffs of the last
generation did put a barrier between
domestic products and some foreign
products, but they did not wipe out
all imports. They did not reduce
imports. They caused conditions
The Washington times., 1914-01-20

which increased imports: they in
creased steadily and enormously.
If the industrial reaction whlcE
set in several months ago is correct
ing itself. as some opinion thinks it
is, if more wages are to be distrlh-
uted, if the purchasing power OF the
consumers is thus to be refortlfied,
we may again see the United States
market absorbing more offerings
from anywhere and everywhere. But
to see whether that happens or not
we must wait longer. Meanwhile the
new tariff has not been tried out
one way or the other.

A MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
TEST

San Francisco is studying the first
annual report of its municipality
owned street railway system. It's
basis is the Geary street line, and it
does not cover the entire city; mere
ly a section of it, though the strong
expectation is that the beginning in
public ownership will open the way
to ultimate municipalization OF the
entire transit system of the city.
The first half year saw the line op-
Grating before it was entirely COM
pleted, and net profits were small.
But with better facilities, the second
half Of the year brought larger earn
ings, and the system shows, after
taking care of fixed charges, main
tanning ample depreciation and sink
ing funds, net profit of over $S5, 900
on an investment of $2,5S7 900. 1t is
promised that for 1914 the profits to
the city will be fully $15O,OO0.
Chicago's SO per cent of the net
profits of its street car lines now
amounts TO a big annual contribution
toward the city revenues. Besides
earning that, the town has vastly
better car service than it ever was
able to extort from the strictly pri-
vately owned lines.
Precisely why Washington should
not be giving the country its one
biggest and completest example of
the possibilities of welI-conducted
municipal ownership of city transit
has not yet been made clear.

Such general acquaintance they
would get if they attended great
central. combination high school.
There is no other way to give it to
them. Il would be one of tine most
useful clements in their educational
careers; yet it would cost them no

Probably it would be actually
cheaper to maintain the high school
of the combination type, than to
scatter smaller ones about the town.
Certainly there are special reasons
to believe it would be better for tie
pupils and for the city.

N. Il. Cow NAY Set New Buffer
Record

The state of Missouri may soon
have another famous dairy COW that
will rival Chief Josephine. COW

years ago.
The COW that il now we'll on the
way toward breaking a record is

culture Of the University of Missouri
She is a Holstein. Twelve gallons
OF milk a day il her record, Her
production of milk is being recorded
for a year, which ends October 10.
From October IS. 1913 to September
|. 1918 she had produced a total of
2l 09l pounds Of milk. The state
record made by Chief Josephine was
26S7l pounds.
Prof. c. H Eckles of the dairy de-
partnent says that when Pontiac's
record for the year has been totaled
he believes this COW will have a
state record for butter, and would
be second to Chief Josephine only
in the production of milk.
Pontiac Is nine years old and
weighs about sixteen hundred
pounds, When she was last fresh
she gave ninety-six pounds of milk
a day.

Feeding for Egg Production

Ege production depends largely
upon proper feeding. Rations for
farm poultry t,ocks can generally
be criticised. first, because they con-
tain little ground food and, second
because animal food is usually lack
ing, These two faults can easily be
corrected, By feeding ground grains
il addition to the whole grains and
by supplying animal food in the

milk. the feed cost for a dozen eggs
can be materially reduced.

use is made by mixing 60 pounds

For summer mix 60 pounds of wheat
