The Treatment of
Influenza OrLa Grippe

IT. quite refreshing these days 10 read OF
a clearly defined treatment for Influenza or
La Grippe, In an article n the Lancet
Clinic" DR.. James Bell, OF New York City
says he is convinced that too much medica-
ton Is both unnecessary and Injurious.
When called to a case of la grippe the
patient is usually seen when the fever IS
present, as the chill which occasionaily
ushers IN the disease, has practically passed
away. DR.. Bell then orders that the bowels
be opened freely with salts, "Actoids" or
citrate OF magnesia. For the high fever

authority, the central powers will strike
as never before in an effort to force
peace with the sword. If signs mean
anything the spring campaign will be a
terrific series of offensives, in an en-
deavor to break the lines.
The cost of the war has already
mounted to heights so staggering that
it seems impossible for nations to con-
tinue fighting ON such a scale. The
human losses have been appalling. The
economic losses have been beyond any
possibility of computation. Yet from
both sides comes the cry that the war
must be pressed to finish, unless terms
of peace that are plainly unacceptable to
either in their present position are
adopted. 1t is plain that neither side
will yield without at least one more sea-
son of fighting. Russia, secretly ready
for a separate peace, according to well
founded report. has undergone a min
isterial change that precludes any pos
sibility of such settlement Her mill
tary position is not as favorable as a
few weeks ago, vet there is no present
sign of weakening.

Of Washington, the community, express

cents from each Washingtonian to make

The President and New York.

Some New York democrats are greatly
concerned over the election of Mr.. Will
son without the assistance Of their state.
They fear for the future unless some
thing can be done to remedy matters.
Their remedy is the wiping out Of
Tammany, not only as state but city
influence. Let the organization be dis
banded. Let New York democrats put
something IN its place of a reputable
and reliable character. Tammany, it is
insisted, spells treachery and bad gov
crnment.
These men assert that the thing can
be done if the President will help. BE
has great power now as the result Of
his reelection. Democrats everywhere
want to train with him. And 80 it is felt
that if he will say the word-pronounce
sentence on Tammany-s new orgaui-
zation, representing the party's best in
the state, will spring into being, and
make its first bow next year by electing
straightout democratic mayor, doing
away with fusion and securing for the
party the prestige of full control Of the
big town.
The proposition reads well, but unfor-
tunstely 10 based, not % mush upon

sulked; when had it busted itself in the
usual way it might have given the state
to Wilson. This initiates against the
tone of the antiTammany movement
robs it of the nature Of real reform.
As for New York's future in the ma
tionai equation. that cannot be safely
forecast from the result of the recent
campaign. The west combined with the
south largely on the strength of the
prices of farm products which the war
and not the policies of the administra-
ton had sent sky high. Who may say
when again wheat and corn and hogs
and horses will command their present
prices! And when the war is over, and
those and other prices return to normal,
what bond then will unite the west and
the south to the exclusion of New York
in contest for control of the country?
Politics this year made some of the
strangest of bedfellows; and they are
not likely to gather again under the
same blanket Some of the recent cries
which proved so effective for the Presi-
dent cannot be repeated in 1920; and
under the new cries, whatever they may
be, New York, Tammany or no Tam
many, may, and probably will, resume
her old place of importance in the po-
litical world.

simultaneously with the British cabj-

No Merely Temporary Increase.

While the proposed increase is, so
far as it goes, most acceptable, the
plan to advance the pay of the
government clerks on ) and 10 per
cent scale for one year only, as an emer-
gency measure to meet the present high
cost of living, is based upon wholly
wrong principle. This increase in sal
ary is demanded not merely by the ex-
isting economic conditions, but by the
general state of society and by the fact
that the government pay scale is no.
toriously below the standard of the
country.
A temporary increase in the pay scale
will not materially benefit the clerks.
1t will give some of them slight ad
vance, for which they will be heartily
grateful, enabling them to meet their
living expenses with little less difficulty
and anxiety. But it will not encourage
them or hearten them to face the future.
To give this advance only to take it
away will leave them eventually worse
off than they are now. The restoration
Of the old scale after the year has
elapsed will be, in effect. a general re-
duetion of pay. Such reduction can
not fail to be demoralizing.
If the present pay scale in the de-
partments were high merely tempo
rary advance would perhaps be justified.
But it is low, shamefully low, in COM
parison with the scales that prevail in
commercial lines and even in the in
dustries. Uncle Sam is undeniably
poor paymaster. Many of his clerks
and messengers and laborers are today
getting barely sufficient compensation
to keep body and soul together. Tes-
timony has been given in public hear
ings to prove that the government de-
partments contain hundreds of people
who are literally struggling to maintain
their families on the barest necessities,
with no margins whatever for emergen-
cies.
1t is not as though the government
workers could go to their tasks clad in
rough and shabby clothing. They must
dress neatly. They must live decently.
They are men and women of intelli-
gence and they cannot slump into sloven
ly. sodden ways of existence. Yet these
men and women are paid less than the
wages now paid in many of the great
factories, where merely mechanical skill
and sometimes not even that's re-
quired.
Temporary increases, urgently re-
quired as they are in the existing
economic conditions, do not reach the
root of the case. The demand for an
increased scale has been voiced for
years. regardless of passing economic
conditions. To give more now, for
year and then to revert to the old scale,
would stamp the government indeed as
a niggardly employer. Let the House
adopt the recommendations of the ap-
preparation committee with an amend
ment striking out the time limit.

The Cabinet.

There is curiosity about the cabinet
and the second term. Since the election
gossip has been busy with the subject
Several changes are suggested in some
reports, but only one in others. More
credence has been given to reports
about Attorney General Gregory than
any other member of the Presidents
official family. Rumor persists that he
will retire
Three changes have occurred since
Mr.. Wilson took office. The first was
the transfer of Attorney General Nc
Reynolds to the Supreme Court He
and his chief had worked together in
perfect harmony. In fact it was that
harmony that produced the change The
Attorney General had so favorably I'M
pressed the President with his equip
ment as lawyer, the latter with a va
cancy on the Supreme Court to fill saw
his man at his elbow,
The second change was the resigna-
tion of Mr.. Bryan. That was produced
by. friction between him and his chief
over foreign affairs. Mr.. Bryan as
pacifeist thought he detected militant
tendency of the administration toward
Germany. Events proved he was mis-
taken. The administrators course
toward Germany became more pacific
after Mr.. Bryan's retirement than it
had been before. What gave Mr.. Bryan
his scare remains mystery.
The third change was the retirement
of Mr.. Garrison from the War Depart
ment. That grew out of a controversy
about new policy fer enlarging and
Strengthening the national defense; and
events have gone far to justify the
views Mr.. Garrison had offered and ad-
,vocated. He was on the right line; and
ultimately that line will probably be
taken. There is no subject at present of
more Importance, or likely to command
more general attention. On land we
are about as helpless from a military
point of view as we well ceuld be. What
we have is OF the best, but wholly in
adequate.
Mr.. Gregory in Mr.. McReynolds' place
has been as conservative as his prede-
ccssor had been. To the State Depart
naent Mr.. Lansing brought what Mr..
Bryan had not possessed-a knowledge
Of international law, and a study of
diplomacy. And Mr. Baker-taken from
civil life, as Mr. Garrison had been-has
found himself in agreement with the
President on all matters connected with
the War Department.
Here then, if the President should de-
cide to make no cabinet changes, is the
guarantee of teamwork for the coming
four years; and on teamwork he has
relied for much of the success he has
Schieved.
