The Jury

Every reader of this newspaper
is a member of daily jury.
Each day the claims of rival
manufacturers and merchants are
set forth in the advertising.
And the great jury of readers
passes on these and gives its ver-
diet by purchasing or leaving
alone.
BY that verdict the various ad-
yertisers must stand or fall.
There is no appeal.
The advertising only succeeds
as it is made helpful and appeal

TO-DAY'S EDITORIALS

From the Philadelphia Ledger:
Judge Gary predicts that the producers
OF this country, including the wage
earners, will find themselves in COM
mercial antagonism with the most per-
sistent and difficult competition ever
experienced unless this shall be pre-
vented by laws that are reasonable
and sufficient" Certainly there is need
of the most searching examination of
our tariff schedules and consequent
action greatly resembling a measure of
defensive warfare. Special reasons ex-
list why the whole system of American
tariffs should be overhauled by scien-
tific experts. by commission intent
upon establishing Zine of Justice
and fairness between the producer and
the consumer"
From the Philadelphia Record: The
failure of a big irrigation company in
Montana, with liabilities running up
into the millions, shows that western
farming is not yet an unmistakable
highway to wealth. There has been a
good deal of speculation in irrigated
lands, and success with them is not
such a certainty as the glowing pros
pectuses of promoters hold out. A
fair living generally means a lot of
| hard work, just as it does in eastern
| States.
! From the Philadelphia Press Now,
as times whirligig revolves, it is Will
| liam himself who is alleged to be suf-
| fering from cancer. If that be true,
| he is disqualified to reign as German
emperor. He has a restless, ambitious
and dominating son as crown prince.
! Unless the young man is basely mis-
represented, his is not a nature that
would scruple to do what his father
| did before him and claim the imperial
crown as his constitutional right, to
| the exclusion of his father. Hence
arises an extraordinary crisis in the
affairs of the German empire. These
repeated statements that Emperor Will
liam has undergone a second operation
for cancer of the throat are pregnant
with tremendous possibilities.

KRUSEN FREES OYSTERS
FROM TYPHOID BLAME
Health Director Gives Them
Clean Bill-Epidemic
Puzzles Him

oysters, as a wholesome food, In proper
season, were given a clean bill of health
today by Director Krusen Of the Depart
ment Of Health and Charities The oys-
ter has been blamed for tho recent OUT
break OF typhoid fever at Chestnut Hill,
but the head of the citys Health Depart
ment says that the blame has been wrong-
ly placed.
During the present week 90 new cases
of typhoid fever have been reported from
all sections of the city. OF this number,
six are located in the 22d Ward. where the
mild epidemic has been most noted.
Deaths from typhoid fever this week num-
ber but three, and reports show that most
of the patients in the Chestnut Hill and
Germantown sections are on the road to
recovery.
Speaking of the epidemic, Director
Krusen said I'VE have been unable TO
trace the cause Of the trouble Many ar
ticles of food have been carefully ex-
amined, and oysters happened to be
among the foodstuffs looked into. hard
ly believe oysters could have had anything
to do with the outbreak. oysters are n
well-known wholesome food. and especial
ly Is this the case now that the beds are
controlled and supervised by the Govern-
ment and State oyster Commissions.
az suppose the fact that oysters were
in the list of foods examined gave rise
to the report that they caused the out
break. Although the cause has not def
nitely been determined. / do not think
that oysters were at the bottom of the
trouble"
DR.. Joseph Fleistas, 5916 Greene street,
Germantown. the district inspector for
the Board OF Health, who is conducting
the investigation, is not certain about
oysters playing any part in the mild epi-
demc, and the claim that they were at the
bottom of the trouble comes from patients
and the hospitals, which have the cases.
