ONUS OF u. s. SHIPPERS.

The Toronto (Canada) Globe takes
the view that the shippers of the
United States are themselves respon-
sible for the attitude of Great Britain
in selling American merchantmen and
taking them into port for an examina-
ton of their cargo. The Globe states
that the armament factories of this
country are working over time turning
out war material and that agents OF
the German and Austrian governments
are making extensive purchases and
endeavoring to ship the goods to their
homes via some neutral port. The
Globe further claims that numerous
American vessels set sail from this
country with manifests showing that a
non-contraband cargo is carried when
in fact and with their knowledge, con-
cealed in or under the non-contraband
goods are quantities of contraband.
The Canadian paper contends that
these attempts to evade British block
AIDES by concealment Of the real nature
of the cargo, justifles the British gov
eminent in suspecting every American
merchantmen and selling the vessels
for close inspection at some British
port.

HIGH WATER MENACE.

Last year the city council named O.
committee of citizens to investigate
means for meeting and overcoming the
menace of sudden rises in the river,
especially as they affect the south side
of the city. The members of the COM
mittee gave freely of their time and
thought in going over the ground and
then called in authorities on such sub
1ects and consulted with them. They
agreed that measures should be taken
by the city to prevent sudden inunda-
ton of a considerable territory within
the confines of the city. They drew
up a report, telling what they had
learned as result Of their investiga-
ton and making recommendations to
meet the conditions set forth.
That report was turned over to the
city officials some months ago and as
far as is known, has never even been
opened. II the city officials know what
is in the report they have ignored it
absolutely and nothing whatever has
been done to guard against the
spring freshets which will be with us
before long.
The city council owes it to the men
they had conduct the investigation and
submit a report and to the people who
are directly endangered by the high
water menace, and to the city as a
whole, to consider the report of the
special committee and either take the
action that is recommended or show
why they choose to do otherwise.
It is not question of time that is
hindering the city officials from taking
up the report They have sufficient
time if they will devote it to the city's
business. They must not forget in
their zeal for reelection, that they are
drawing a salary for administering
the public affairs Of the city. They
cannot give the citys business the at
tention it deserves if they spend their
time electioneering While they are
drawing salary from the city for TAX
ing care of the city's business, they
should give their time to the dis
charge of that duty.

Whatever else the war may have
called forth Of good or of evil, 1t has
performed one great service at least.
1t has made Latin America reality
to us. Ignorance and indifference,
what do we know" and what do we
care" no longer represent the public
attitude toward the other America.
Right in our own hemisphere there
is an area nearly three times as large
as the United States, having popu-
lation of upward of 100000. Here
are 20 republics endowed by nature
with an abundance of resources ana
furnished by man with the principles
of democracy. They need the help OF
capital and immigration to make them
materially strong. They need the
hearty cooperation of the greatest of
American republics to assure the devel-
opment of their free institutions.
If only we would understand how
real our interest in Latin America is
we could dispense with much of our
concern about conditions in Europe.
There is probably no region of impor-
lance in the world so little known or
appreciated as the territory between
the Rio Grande and the Strait Of Ma
gellan. It is laboratory Of incalcul-
able worth to the man of affairs no less
than to the student. Here are problems
in industry and commerce, of social ad-
justments, of political ideas and prac-
tees which merit the closest atten-
ton. Nowhere else have reality and
romance worked so powerfully upon
the imagination, stimulated zeal and
rewarded effort SO adequately when
ever the required energy has been ap-
piled.
All these things are found at our
very doors, but we have seen fit to ig-
more them. Like the native Of a place
who cares naught about the attractions
for the tourist, we have been quite will
ing to let the foreigner make the
most of what he discovers. OF course
we would not allow him to appropriate
the territory, destroy the independence
or control otherwise, the destinies of
the republics concerned. Still, we are
no longer sure, apparently, whether
the ancient prohibition applies to the

FIGHTING ALFALFA PEST.

verely infested crops, cleaning OF fence

The insect deposits its eggs. which
are so small as to be invisible to the
naked eye, directly through the soft

into the growing Seed When the larva
changes into fly, it eats out the heart
of the seed and then escapes. While
most of the seeds containing the fly
turn from green to brownish color,
many retain their natural appearance,
and the farmer is wholly deceived as

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 14.-Secretary
Houston, of the department of agricul-
ture, took an optimistic view OF the fu-
ture of American agriculture in an ad-
dress here today before the state board
of agriculture in which he strongly
urged early enactment of rural credits
legislation.

on rural life today" declared Secretary
Houston, than ever before in the his
tory Of the nation. The American far
mer need not fear the competition of
the world. He will inevitably control
the home market except for things
which cannot be produced here, and
will be called on increasingly to supply
the demands of foreign nations"
Declaring that he strongly favored
both federal and rural credits legisla-
ton, Secretary Houston said:

WORKING FOR REELECTION.

Governor Clarke, in his annual mes
sage to the legislature which he read
yesterday to that body, calls attention
to one of the worst practices OF public
offlcials-their making use of the peo-
pies time and prestige in seeking to
assure their own reelection to Office.
In support of his plea for four year
term and no consecutive reelection for
the governor, Mr.. Clarke says that al
most as soon as a governor Is in Of
flee and before he has really learned
his duties, he sees the need for build
ing up Of his political fences in order
to assure his denomination year later
by his party. And as soon as he is
renominated-as he usually is-he
thon begins more or less active cam
paign for reelection another year
hence.
All of which means that the COVER
nor spends fair share OF his time
working to perpetuate himself in Of
fee instead of attending to the duties
for which he was elected.
The same thing is true right down
the line from governor to the lowest
elective office. Too many office hold
ers are unwilling to let their records
as public officials, determine their
chance of reelection. They are not
willing to pay attention to their work
up to the minute of election and risk
their chance Of returning to office on
sthe judgment of the voters as to
whether or not they have proved cap
able officials.
The remedy for the practice that
Governor Clarke deplores is not in
making the terms Of public office
longer-thou that in itself need not

TYPHOID is CONQUERED.

The war has demonstrated beyond
all question to members of the medical
commission, the efficaciousness of anti
typhoid vaccination. Most of the mem
bers of the active army had been vac
cinated before the war but the reserv-
lists and territorials drafted and sent
to the front later, had not and as re-
suit towards the end of October large
number of cases of typhoid developed.
The medical commission sent doctors
to the firing line and they vaccinated a
whole army corps of 10000 men.
By the end of December the good
results of this treatment became ap-
parent, as typhoid had practically dis
appeared, the only cases remaining be-
ing among the men of two regiments
which the doctors were unable to
reach.

Our Interest in Latin America

or 1t amounts to anything at all more
than menace of protest.
We must study Latin America, It's
lands and peoples know about them,
care about them, interest ourselves in
them and get them interested In us.
Otherwise, If the lessons of the past
and present teach us anything, we must
expect to see the conditions Of Europe
transplanted to the soil of the New
World. This is an age Of expansion,
not of seclusion. Are we to live in it.
or are we to delude ourselves that we
can perpetuate the isolation of hun
, dreG years?
Except as source of labor supply.
the peoples of Africa managed to keep
quite secluded till 30 years ago. Now,
out of 100000 square miles, re-
gion four times the size of the United
States, only 100000 are left to the
Africans. On the continent of Asia
the Chinese Republic Is the sole great
area which is not yet subjected to for
eign expansion; but the signs of its
weakness thus far are more significant
than the proofs of its strength.
And should the unexpected happen, If
powerful Asiatic nations of hundreds of
millions of people were to shake off
the lethargy Of centuries, or Europ-
can yoke, and, copying their mentors.

would expansion lead them? Undoubt-
eddy the goal would be the vast and
scantily settled lands of Latin America
teeming with wealth in mines and
soil and forests which is hardly touch

The ancestors of the Americans and
of the Latin Americans alike created
new nations In new world, republics
consecrated to freedom and opportun-
ity as we understand THOSE terms.
History and geography have bound our
problems, our interests, our destinies
in way that we have but dimly appre-
hended. Shall we continue laboring on
the local structure of middle North
America, or shall be build for the fu-
ture on the scale of hemisphere with
