GOVERNMENT DERELICTIONs

Eighteen persons, afflicted with
tuberculosis, are at work at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
and they cannot go to sanit0rium
because they must keep on working
to care for their families. That is
the statement of Director Joseph
Ralph, in an address Saturday night.
He added that forty-fve such cases
had existed at one time.
Yet the Government undertakes to
advise private concerns about the
welfare of their employees. There is
no complaint about that. But the
condition at the bureau is on a pan
with the backwardness of the Gov,
ernment in applying modern ideas OF
efficiency and humanity to many Of
its own workers.
To do what Director Ralph recon.
mends, send these employees away &
year at Government expense, anC
continue their pay, is what many {
private firm would do. 1t would no
be charity, it would be good business
for as long as the employees sta!
here hey are endangering tn,
health Of those who, despite all pre-
cautions. must come into some con
tact with them.
Eage scales have long beel
The Washington times., 1916-02-07

nOtoriously low at the bureau. It
has beer one of the most backward,
despite the efforts of its directors, in
making proper provision for the pay,
for vacations, and for working ,ondi-
tions Of its employees. In the same
week that Gen. w. C. Gorgas, sur
geon of the army, stated that, in
his opinion, low wages constituted a
fruitful cause of disease, Director
Ralph cited the case of these en-
ployes, and urged, in addition to
measures for their relief, that SO a
day be made the minimum wage at
the bureau. In Mr.. Ralph's opinion
a man cannot support a family ade-
quately on $3.50 a day, yet that is
just what many of the bureau en-
ployes are trying to do.
Alienation of the condition of
many Government wage-earners
could be brought about in many
ways, but the business-like, and the
obvious way to start is to provide
some means for civil service pen
sionS Such a system, if properly
devised, would include provision for
those temporarily incapacitated by
tuberculosis and similar diseases.
The Washington times., 1916-02-07
CHILDREN oR THE COUNTRY

Within the past few years the be-
lief has grown that the evils of city
life, even in the case Of the children,
have been overdrawn. Mortality rec
ords and a few incomplete surveys
seem to show that the country,
with its lack of sanitary provisions,
is not so healthful a place as was
thought. But no study has been
made sufficient to enable anyone to
make a comparison.
So far the activities of the Chill
dreh's Bureau, of the Department of
Commerce, have been directed prin-
cipally toward cities. 1t was in the
highly populated centers that the
most effective work could be accom-
plished at least cost. But the time
has come when the bureau wishes to
extend its activities to the rural dis
tricts. Every agency that now
reaches into the small town and
country districts, such as the rural
nurse organizations, testify to the
dire need of more attention to health
Of children in those sections.
To do this the bureau asks that
its appropriation be made 100000,
and that it's staff be increased to
eighty-eight members. This modest
request for a bureau doing the work
this one has performed ought to
have easy going up on Capitol Hill.
But, in view of the difficulty it had
in getting $25,COO at first, the pres
ent measure may need some urging.
Once more the attention of Con-
gress may have to be called to how
much we spend annually for protect
ing the health of cattle.

that the selling price shall be at
least more than the cost Of produc-
tion and distribution. You don't
have to provide for a single, solitary
thing except that the price shall be
what the Higher Economist fixes it
at.
Maybe Secretary Lane doesn't de-
serve to be lynched for not under
standing and subscribing to the laws
Of these Higher Economics; maybe
he hasn't had opportunity to edu-
cate himself in the Higher Eco
nomics; maybe he's more deserv-
ing of pity than Of punishment.
But certainly he's no man to be
at the head of a great Government
department having so much to do
with natural resources, natural
products, and natural regulations.

.QUIRINAL PALACE IS
. RED CROSS HOSPITAL
Ambassador 7. N. Page De-
sCribes Work Being Con-
Quoted in Home Of King.

How the magnificent and historic
Quirinal Palace in Rome was trans
formed into a Red Cross Hospital is de-
scribed in the American Red Cross Mag
azino for February by Ambassador
Thomas Nelson Page. The transforma-
tion. 1t is stated. was brought about by
Queen Helena who daily supervises the
conduct OF the hosnital
Mr.. Page describes tour OF the big
hospital with The Queen as a guide. lie
says:
I'm few minutes We were being
shown everything under the personal
guidance OF her who, had she mot been
the Queen of Italy. might, from her per-
feet knowledge OF every detail and the
simplicity with which she conducted us
have been imagined only courteous
and accomplished hospital matron,
trained all her life to attend precisely
to the duties of that position. There was
no pretense at parade. IT was all quiet
simple. natural. and complete. 1t was
hard to tell which was the more i'm
teresting reflection-that the Queen
should be so simple. natural, and per-
fectly informed as to every detail OF
the hospital, or that this perfectly in
formed, simple, natural mistress of a
hospital was the Queen OF Italy"
The Quirinal Palace was the summer
palace of Popes prior to September 20.
1910. Outside and inside the famous
tapestries were taken down. and Am
bassador Page tells how the painting
ana cleaning and hygiene preparations
were carried on.

Presidential possibility, and is widely
looked upon as one of the men who In
the future must be considered in Presi-
Dental connection. For this year. Mr..
Borah has insisted that he will not be
looked upon as the aspirant for leader
ship of radical sentiment in the flu
ture.
His assumption of the public own
ership Issue as one OF the great pro-
posals on which future campaigns
must be conlucted is. therefore, re-
Carded as the evidence that he in =
tends to keep himself in the Tore
ground OF public thought and in the
leadership Of those forward move
lncnts which he believes representa-
tive OF the tendency of the times.
In speaking Of the public owner

called attention to the recent article
OF Otto H. Kahn, of Kuhn, Loeb &c
Company, in which Mr.. Kahn dis
Cussed the question OF THE Govern .

tory. senator Borah observed that
there was now n very important inn
pressive consensus of the opinion OF
railroad presidents and fnanciers in
agreement with this view of MI.

wise out of harmony with n large and
increasing body of public opinion, Mr.

a frank and outspoken public con

SHOT AT THR DUTCH FLAG

The torpedoing of the Dutch tank
steamer Artemis by German boat
in the North sea and the Berlin
charges that another steamship, the
Melanie, flying the Dutch flag but
really a British craft, attacked a
German submarine are perfect il
lustrations of the distorted logic
which is responsible for the Prus-
sian war machine running amuck
against an enemy, against neutral,
against a friend.
A British enemy has hoisted the
Dutch flag to deceive a German
submarine; therefore it is the right
Of a German submarine to sink any
boat she may meet flying a Dutch
flag.
Ninety-nine vessels cruising in the
North sea and flying the Dutch flag
may all be Dutch. A single vessel
falsely flying the Dutch flag may
be British. But it makes no differ
ence-treat them all alike! Don't
find out what boat is British falsely
flying the Dutch flag and what
boats are Dutch honestly flying the
Dutch flag. Sink them all and then.
though you have to sink hundred
ships, ninety-nine, Of them innocent
and ninety mine of them entitled to
all the protection of neutrality,
you'll get the one that isn't!
The Berlin war-makers began
with that policy not only against
Holland but against every seafarinp
nation on the globe. If they had
persisted in that run-amuck policy
and there is no doubt that but
for the Lusitania, the Arabic, and
similar horrors too diabolic for the
best German sentiment to stomach
they would have persisted in that
policy-GeImany today would have
every sea power in the whole world
fighting her side by side with the
present allies. And the Berlin muir
der bund, with its defOrmed vision
and topsy-turvy sense of war logic
would have called heaven to wit
ness that all the races of Christen
dom were wantonly and wIckedly
falling upon a Germany as spotless
ly pure as a sacrificial lamb.

LANE ON GASOLINE PRICES

In the name of clap-trap politics
what does this man Lane, Secretary
of the Interior, mean by attributinG
the high price of gasolene to a short
age of supply and an increase of de-
mand?
In his experiences with public at-
fairs and his familiarity with politi-
cal agitation hasn't Secretary Lane
ever heard of the higher Eco
nomics? Doesn't he realizes that
though there be only half enough
gasolene to go around, there is yet
no need for the price to go up il
the Government does it's duty
Can't the Higher Ecoromic truth
penetrate his brain that if in the
whole United States there are only
"a few barrels of gasolene and there
are several million consumers, there
is no need of any of them paying
cent more than if the situation
were several million barrels on the
market and only half a dozen mer
wanting any of it?
Doesn't Secretary Lane know thai
distinguished statesman from
Kentucky has before the House Of
Representatives aSbill making il
possible for all consumers of gaso
lene in the United States to get
whatever the supply, all they wan
of it, whenever they want it, at {
maximum price of ~ or Is cents, Of
something like that, a gallon? Can
I Secretary Lane get into his noddl'
this law of the Higher Economics
under which all you have to do t
protect the consumer of any com
modify is to have the Government
fix a maximum price on it?
You don't have to bother abou
providing a supply equal to the de
mand. You don't have to prOvid,

Presbyterian Church. was held last
night when the auditorium was crowd

people to attend the Junior church

are vital parC OF the church OF today
and that they must realize their re-

Children acted as ushers, a children's 5
