vaccine in the market free from bacterial
faint, and that germs of tetanus
are IN the vdccine."
1t is now explained by our pamphleteer
that this is not serious perversion Of DR..
Rosenaus words, "but merely a slight in
sdvertent mistake as to the natural versus
the artificial presence of lockjaw germs in
the virus, which in any case is little more
than a quibble." In other words, when an
Investigator, after careful search, has
failed TO find what he was looking for, it
may safely be said that to all intents and
purposes he has found it, because no one
but pedant could object to so slight a
departure from the truth. Besides, what
would become Of the antivaccinists if they
were forced TO stick TO mere facts?

"Within the Realm"

1t was probably only as a matter Of
form that Sir Roger Easements counsel
asked for the quashing of the indictment
against him, but the points on which he
dwelt were certain to be raised at the trial.
There have not been half dozen trials of
the kind in the last seventy years and even
a fairly clear case offers abundant oppor-
tunity for the discussion of legal niceties
which might possibly prove favorable to
the prisoner.
The statute Of 1851 defines the offence
of high treason as levyng war against the
sovereign ain his realm" or being "ad-
herent to the enemies of our lord the King
in his realm. giving to them aid or comfort
in his realm or elsewhere An attempt
was evidently made TO show that, what
ever Sir Roger was accused of, 1t was
nothing that had been committed within
the realm" but how the passage relating
to aid and comfort elsewhere" was dis
posed of is not made clear At any rate
it is certain that in the last five hundred
years the meaning Of high treason has
been extended sufficiently TO include the
encouragement of foreigners in projects Of
invasion.
Possibly something in the wording Of
the indictment may have offered pretext
for clubbing about exactly where and
when the prisoner was "seduced by the
devil" but considering the course Of the
trial up to the present time it does not
seem likely that it will be seriously de-
layed by minor technicalities

Merely "a Quibble."

One thing may be said for the anti
vaccinists-they are a loyal crew and al
ways ready TO stand by one another in a
tight corner. The most vociferous spokes-
man Of the Anti-Vaccination League of
America has just published lively pam
rhlet bubbling over with vehement abuse
Of his critics and censors-particularly of
The Tribune-and he goes out of his way
TO defend a brother zealot who had the
misfortune some time ago TO be discovered
in misquotation.
The misquotation was supposed TO show
that DR.. Rosenau, the eminent sanitarian
supported a common allegation of the anti
vaccinists concerning the presence of tet-
anus bacilli in vaccine virus. What DR..
Rosenau had in fact demonstrated was
that the bacilli planted in glycorinated
tubes could live for long time; but
though he and his assistants had examined
a great many tubes and dry points, and
found none wholly free from bacterial
contamination, yet they had, as expressly
stated, "been unable to find the organism
Of this disease" The improved anti-vac-
cinist version made DR., RoSenau reSpon-

A City's Pride.

The city Is proud of its men who are
leaving for the front and 1t has every
right to be proud Of them. They are re-
spending to a far call, upon a difficult and
hazardous errand, TO meet an emergency
largely created by their country's needless
ness and sloth. Yet they march with full
ranks, accomplishing, giving freely all
they have.
In many ways the test Of the militia's
spirit has been the most severe to which
it has ever been put. The task before TINS
country in Mexico is not one to stir swift
national enthusiasm. On the streets, as
the regiments march, there has been little
cheering for the cause; it is the stalwart
spirit of the guardsmen that has thrilled
and caught our throats. In the long run
the overwhelming strength is with us, Bit
ter as the earlier contest may be. Such a
war lacks the glory Of an equal fight, the
exalted resolve that springs from fight
for home against an invader. 1t is rich
only in danger and death.
That with such q call our militia have
stepped forth unhesitatingly and gladly
shows the solid stuff of which their pa
triotism is made. 1t is a spirit which we
who stand and cheer can be proud to
cherish in our memories and may, in our
own humble way, share. We have before
us the duty and opportunity to resolve to
do our part at home as each of us can
TO see that in so far as our efforts can
avail nothing is left undone by our gov
eminent to support and uphold our men in
the fighting line.

Some City Areas.
From The Minneapolis Journal

From The Minneapolis Journal
Los Angeles is the largest city in the United
States. Some one will doubtless arise to con-
trovert this statement by show OF figures,
but the fact remains that Los Angeles is the
largest city-in the matter Of area. Through
recent annexations the City of the Angels now
includes territory Of 1892 square miles,
against BATS for New York, 1873 for Chicago,
l29 for Philadelphia and 1929 for Mime
apolis.
The haste Of the suburbs Of Los Angeles to
get in under the city limits, where the taxing
is good, is due to the desire TO get the city's
water. Water in California is liquid happi-
ness and Los Angeles has recently completed
a S23 900 aqueduct that brings the best Of
water from the mountains. The city is not
permitted by the laws TO sell water outside Of
the limits, hence the desire Of the outlying
districts to get in.
This 1892 miles Of area in Los Angeles
helps to explain the $4,000 population now
claimed for the city. As long as the water
and the climate hold out these figures will
continue to grow till the saturation point
comes.
Taking the $3.50 square miles that make up
the area of St. Paul and adding the 1929
miles of Minneapolis, we have a total area of
1919 square miles, carrying a population of
627,141, II the estimates of January /, 1916,
are used
Even with these two cities reckoned to
gether we are 1908 square miles short of
the size of Los Angeles This gives a fair
conception of the vast size Of the district
within the Los Angeles city limits. We may
vet have 10 take in Minnetonka 10 keep up
with that procession!

Fat Policemen.

The fundamental architecture of The
male-he really has no other aspect, lack
inc as he does the eye-deceiving contrao-
tions of the female-has clearly under
gone a change. Dancing may have done
some of the good work. Tennis a little
less. And, in particular, taking up the
case of the New York City policeman, we
have to thank in succession three Police
Commissioners, Roosevelt, Bingham and
Woods.
Twenty-Five years ago the typical po-
liceman was round as beer key, an ex-
cellent cushion TO land on when leaping
from a fourth story window in case OF
fire But of little practical value other
wise. Every melodrama of the period in
cluded one of these rotund servants Of
the city-as comic relief, which was
lust about his use in real life. Now,
where is he? Even the stage has aban-
doned him. Speaking at the Harvard
commencement, where he received an hon
orary degree, Commissioner Woods re-
marked 1.-The fat policemen is now prac-
tically extinct, and if he isn't he is going
TO be by the time the New York poicem
get through with their military training"
A search of the city streets confirms these
assertions. The New York cop is to-day
about as straight and trim as any regi-
ment Of regulars.
There was especially urgent reason for
asking this change in contour of our po-
licemen. But the reform has not stopped,
and let us hope will not stop, with them.
The American has tradition of leanness
behind him, and it is a good thing to re-
turn tn IL means prepareCness for so

to the Eurasian, or mestizo of Occidental
cross, as we'll as the Hindu or Bomean
Many Of them were wealthy bankers or
merchants. Others were engaged as compra-
doris or clerks, on account of their quick w.t.
sterling honesty, industry and individual
merit As in the Hawaiian Islands, they
formed the most valuable element Of the
population. The ChineseHawaian half
caste is the keenest business man and the
most industrious citizen to be found in those
Stands.
The exclusion of the Chinese laborer from
me Philippines has been Of inestimsble dam
age, by retarding industrial and commercial
development. Despite his fsnaticism when
directed by ignorant rulers, he has shown his
superiority over other Orientals in his UNI
firing industry, his domesticity and his hon
esty. When put in competition with the
Bornean, the Filipino the Sngalese, the Ha-
waiian or the Hindu he invariably wins, as
may be seen by his rise from poverty 70
wealth and influence in the cities of Snga-
pore, Calcutta, Sandakan, Manila and Homo
'ulu. The presence Of the Chinaman in the
Philippines with the substitution of his
characteristics of honesty, domesticity and
industry for the dishonesty, laziness and
treachery of the Filpino-will do more TO
promote the industrial development and civil
cation of these islands than any other fac
tor. and the sooner America appreciates this
fact and acts upon it the more prompt will
be her relief from her present embarrass-
ing position. To desert them now under
the travesty of liberty would be a monu-
mental and hypocrtical crime

For a Local Cavalry Regiment

Sir: It is question of but few days

The great need will be for cavalry. The

1t takes considerable time to raise, equiT

that the said volunteers have had no pre-
vious experience with horses and firearms

A Mothers Protest.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your constituency Is your subscribers
believe. am a subscriber, and wish 10 ask
some questions.
Why are soldiers from New York State 10
be sent to the border before they have had
any chance 10 acclimate? We all agree this
is an outrage. Have none of the states OF
our Union lying in the same climate, prac-
tically, as Texas any reliable state militia
These could be used for time and acclimate
the Northern fellows.
Are the munitions of war that Mexico will
use against our soldiers munitions that are
all made in this country by Americans and
now TO be used in killing my boy, for in
stance-for | have a son, who may be on the
border soon now, though hope not?
Is this "retribution" because our nation,
while calling itself neutral, has been getting
rich making munitions of war for warning
nations, and is this retribution TO fall on
children my son is high school boy, who
have had no share in deciding these vexed
questions Of true neutrality? Truly, this
hoard of money that America has been pool
ing this last year of Europe's war has soon
become blood" money. There is just cause
for every one Of us mothers to revolt against
this call 10 sacrifice our beloved sons who
have grown up by our fresides.
How can we expect the countries of South
America TO respect US when we plan confer
ences with Latin-American countries and
preach arbitration and then refuse 70 arbi-
trate ourselves, and refuse this the first time
any cause for war arises!
Truly, Wilson and his associates have made

undertake, and the man who first said. "Oh,
Wilson is nice man, but not big enough to
be President" said wise thing.

YOU AND YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.

When the banker accepts your account and gives pass book and check book he has the right expect certain things from you have the right legally and morally to expect certain things from him.
 In the first place he has the right expect pro- fit from your Banking is expensive business It certain amount to handle every check that passes through the bank and every should
 tribute portion the expenses of the bank however small When your banker asks you keep certain bal ance he is merely asking his right profit your account It is easily to be that if keep small baance ten dollars, and the banker furnishes you with stationery does the bookkeeping the account for benefit well hs), the earning pow of that dollars all invested at per would be insufficient compensate him for the cost If attending that Therefore, be and give him chance make profit; for every sale of merchandise should show profit every bank account should at least pay its way. Give him large balance you possibly keep-it will help you very much in his estimation help your credit, and add to yourself respect
 Second Never overdraw In national banks overdrafts forbidden but whether they not. you have right ask it. It hurts your credit with the banker forced without security and poor business practice.
 Sometimes overdraft is allowed matter of commodaton and sometimes in order that the credit of drawer with the holder the check may i'm paired; but is bad practice in all over and should neither be asked expected
 Third. Do not draw against "Uncolected funds" By uncolected funds is checks that have not been collected. For instance, if you have balance of s10O, and deposit hundred dollar check and draw your check for s150 have taken all the original deposit and half of the represented by the check just de posted. The banker must that check, let say New York and wait for advice that it is paid before knowing that it has been paid, which may take three o- four days You asking him to pay out his money three days in advance of it's receipt practice which good banks frown upon and will not allow. Lastly, draw your checks properly outlined in the next talk and have your pass book balanced month. Doing these things consistently your banker will be good friend and you will be good customer in favor with who can do you many favors
