taking their side backs them up in refusing
to settle this tremendous issue in the
soundest, sanest and most enlightened
manner known In labor disputes. The
Tribune believes the men are acting In
such manner that they are FORGETTING their
right to public sympathy. by refusing to
arbitrate their case, and that the Presi-
dent in supporting them has thrown away
any claim to be considered as spokesman
for the public in the dispute.
The railroad officials should maintain
their stand for arbitration, in spite OF the
Presidents coercive position. If, at last
the strike, with its manifold horrors
comes, they may know that they will not
have been to blame for it, despite anything
the President may say along his present
biased line of reasoning.

A Breeze from the West.

Out in the West where the free winds
blow
Soft with the summer and fresh with the
snow
Bracing in autumn and fragrant in spring
Snowbird or songster to lift on the wing:
Out where the RS with reverberance roll
Straight from an honest and unashamed
soul
Never smother and never a smirk,
Never culver and never a qurk,
Every R with eclat rolls along
Whether in story or whether in song:
Out in the West there's free wind to
blow
Fresh in the summer and cool in the snow.
He-uh in New Yok tha's summah smell
OF what ard from whithuh no mohtal can
tell.
Twenty-Five lettahs the alphabet ends.
r with the long Italian A blends
Oh-uh else it is OF that rhymes up with
boy,
Oh-uh anything else the good R to destroy.
All thru the week the people must sOoik
Oh-uh else from tha-uh duty must shame
lessly shoik;
And then on Sunday the good 20 u
choich
While the wicked fo-uh pastime oh-un
pleasu-ah do soich.
Her-r-re in New York; ther-r-re's a
summer-r-r smell
OF what and from whither-r-r no MORTAL
can tell.

Congress and Technical Affairs.

From Metallur0icd and ChericG! Engineerin0)
Consider the Congressman, how he votes.
Occasionally it seems almost as though he
knew not, neither did he think. And yet the
engineer, with all his knowledge. is not
clothed with the political power of one of
these. All of which points a double moral
the necessity Of the education of our law
makers in technical matters, which can be
accomplished only through greater activity
Of engineers in the realm of public affairs.
Too long has the engineering profession held
aloof from those who make our laws and run
our government forgetting that much of the
business of state is concerned with problems
in organization, management and economies
for which successful engineers should be well
fitted. The fault, when such exists, lies not
altogether with public servants, many OF
whom would lend willing ear to sound ad-
vice on. technical matters. Never was a time
so propitious for such advice as the present
when public officials are called upon TO legis-
late on matters affecting our industrial
growth and welfare, the technique of which
is best appreciated by scientists and engi-
neers.

strong enough to give the nomination to Ben
nett, which possibility Is suggested
| am not a sentimentalist, but shall do all
can, without vote, to assist him out Of
his exalted position on the following grounds:
He Is a hard man. He seems to lack that
quality of mercy (Which becomes the throned
monarch better than his crown" Implaca-
bility is an essential in a car, kaiser or
possibly even q New York County District
Attorney. though the present incumbent
seems to do very nicely without it; but in a
Governor it is scarcely necessary.
His attitude in the Stelow case. which oc-
cupes so much space in the papers to-day,
plainly shows that lack OF mercy. The evil
dence collected by the Mutual Welfare
League, Mrs Humiston ct al, which suff-
GENTLY impressed Justice Guy to have him
use all his influence to save the poor wretch,
simply elected from Mr.. Whitman, according
to the newspapers, the opinion that interior
ence on Stielow's behalf would be "a travesty
of Justice" etc. Stielow is, of course, a poor,
insignificant creature, of no weight politically
or otherwise, but Mr.. Whitman seems to over
look the fact that it is the interests Of thou
sands Of precisely the same calibre that he
has been chosen TO protect and defend.
Then, again, when Mr.. Osborne's tenure Of
Office at Sing Sing seemed most insecure be-
cause Of the persecution Of Riley and his
efforts for the betterment OF mankind likely
to be dscredted, the Governor failed to up
hold the warden 1t was not until public
opinion plainly and emphatically ranged
itself on Osborne's side, and Mr.. Whitman ap-
Iparently saw his political future in jeopardy,
that the Governor "renigged" deposed Riley
and tardily offered Osborne the support which
should never have been withheld.
These are only two instances, but they
would be enough, il had vote, TO cause me
to give it to the other man.

What the Epidemic Has Taught Us.
OR. r. Robins In The Medical Record,

(Dr. r. koOirS IN Ins Aed;cd1 kecord)
The great lesson taught by the last epidemic
is the Interpretation of anterior poliomyelitis
as a contagious disease which spreads from
one human being to another. Prophylaxis
accordingly assumes greater Importance in
the control of future epidemics than ever
before. and preparedness is now in order
against the next invasion of the ultramicro
scopic pathogenc agent. While the sgnif-
canoe of the passive human carrier is begin
ming TO be appreciated, the defensive meas
ures in use fail to do justice to this source
of contamination. As in practically all cpl
demic diseases, the actual original focus of
infection and the starting point for all later
cases of the disease must be sought in an
infected human being. Patients in future
will be strictly isolated and a better knowl-
edge Of the biological properties Of the path
cgenic agent will furnish a more reliable
basis for the hygenic measures to be adopted
in the community. The spread Of poliomye-
litis in future epidemics will be checked in
d similar way as is now in use for infectious
diseases, such as scarlet fever and diphtheria.

A passenger who has just arrived here
from Liverpool brings new and surpris'
ing account of one of the latest Zeppelin
raids on England. According to the OFF,
cial British report, only two persons were
killed on this occasion and the damage done
to property was hardly worth mention
ing. II he is rightly informed, how
ever. the raid was the most destructive
hitherto recorded, and no less than lou
men. women and children were killed in
and about the city of Hull alone. The
newspapers, he explains, were forbidden
to admit more than the two deaths, "and
the facts we're made known only by word
Of mouth"
II is notorious that facts conveyed by
word of mouth are apt to undergo consld-
cradle transformation in the process and
there are some good reasons for doubling
the information of this witness. He at
tributes the success of the raid to the
great height at which the fleet approached
the town, alleging that they discharged
their bombs from an altitude of $1,000 TO
1900 feet. This is extremely improbable
If he had cut the height in two his story
would be more acceptable.
1t is true that we used to hear great
deal about the prodigious heights at which
German airships fought, but it was at
time when people were ready to believe
anything about Zeppelins. A ship heavily
enough laden to do a vast amount of dam
age cannot. for obvious reasons, attain her
extreme altitude, even supposing 1900
feet to be possible, and, besides, the diff
culties of aiming have to be consid-
cred 1t may be recalled that in one Of the
much advertised raids on Paris not single
bomb fell within the citys limits; that is to
say. the raider did not once succeed in
hitting a target twenty-three miles round!
The altitude on that occasion was proba-
bly, less than 5000 feet, and though the
atmospheric conditions may very likely
have been more favorable in the recent raid
on England, it is difficult to believe the
news that has come from Hull "by word
of mouth"
