gaze wonder over tho things that are spoken of in deprecating tones. Look for the small and inconspicuous head lines telling of poverty and misery. of strikes and famine. industrial strife and diseontent; of breadlines and starving men and women and little children, Read the pitiful stories told in exceeding small type in. such pa pers as the New York American and other great journals. which, under an inconspicuous caption tell of the suf- fering and want that has overtaken Case No. 9S7' or No. SAP" Read the pitiful tales that are there told of human distress; of homeless men and women, of hungry innocent children for whom an appeal Is made. Under each cold and heartless number is a story that burns the mind and tears the heart of any who can feel. Glance over the record of suicides and see the mighty army that still their longing for food and the comforts of existence by flying back to that oblivion from whence they came. Turn to the pages telling of industrial strife, of strikes. of riots, grim and bloody. and read between the lines of human entities forced to industrial war. that they may have enough to live in decency and comfort. in many cases that they may secure enough to eat and wear.
 Read of the business failures going on on every side and think Of the hundreds and thousand of other such failures that are never told of outside of the records of Dun's and Brad streets. Hear the tales of breadlines, told in brief sentences, and of the
 work of the charities-ot the hun dreds that are fed and lodged by aims societies in every large city. Pay no attention to the million dollar deals 10 the financial records telling. in op
 tomistic terms, of mighty traficins in war commodities; of tremendous exports and overwhelming trade bal

 place and are doing very nicely. For one thing We have no breadlines and the real hungry person is the exception

 We have no industrial wars where human beings, ground down to the last extremities of distress, strike for the justice they can obtain In no other way. We have no record of any one having cast their life away be- cause they had no food or shelter. We don't hear of purity and innocence go- Ing wrong because no other way to live in comfort lay open.

GLAZING HEADLIGHTS.

While the secretary of state is in
q position to understand the danger
which strong and glaring headlights
on automobiles create for all users OF
the highways, through the revelations
which are made in the cases which
come before him, the everyday expert
ence of auto drivers as well as other
individuals is such that there are very
few who have not had the opportu-
nifty to recognize the need Of placing
a check upon the binding lights.
The state secretary has given advice
and efforts have been made to Sc
cure an Improvement in this highway
peril with varying success. Some ma
chine owners have recognized the need
OF a change from the unpleasant ex-
periences they have had with lights
on other machines and have applied
the golden rule by changing the head
lights on their cwn machines or by
equipping them with DINNERS and US
ing them whenever occasion requires.
Their example is the right one and
one which should be generally adopt
ed, but it apparently requires yoke
of oxen to pull others around to the
same view. either because they are
willing to take the chances which must
OF necessity be associated with daz-
cling lights or else they do not care.
This same condition has resulted in
the auto associations in other states
lending their influence to obtaining the
needed reform and in others reguIa-
tons have been adopted which re-
quire sane and sensible lights instead
of those of the searchlight type which
are not required by any ordinary use
of autos, but which remain in
use simply because drivers are
unwilling to adopt the reforms until
they are forced to. This is a matter
which is bound to receive greater at
tention at the next session of the gem
eral assembly than it ever has be-
fore in the interest of highway safety.

TIME FOR NEUTRALITY RULES.

The question of neutrality has re-
ceived some serious iolts since the
opening OF the European war and ex-
listing provisions in many instances
have been found inadequate. There
has been the disposition on the part
of the beIligerents to ignore the rights
of neutrals and to disregard their OBJ
legations to neutral nations whenever
military necessity, or what was claim
ed to be military necessity required it.
Because neutral rights have been
repeatedly violated it is apparent that
the future is bound to witness the
devotion of greater attention to them
than ever and the suggestion is made
by Secretary Lansing that instead of
viewing them from the standpoint of
the belligerent they be henceforth
considered from the position of the
neutral and in this connection he adj
vocates the appointment of a commit :.
tee to study the problem of neutral
ships and neutral duties seeking to
formulate in terms the principle I'M
DERIVING the relations of belligerency
to neutral rather than the express
rules governing the conduct of ma
ton at war to nation at peace. This
is the task which Mr. Lansing would
give the American Institute of Inter-
national Law which was recently or
ganized by the pam American congress.
There can be no question but what
the time is ripe for just such action.
The liberty of neutrals has suffered
from unjustifable restrictions on the
high seas and it has been imposed
upon by the needless burdens forced
upon them in preserving their neu-
trality upon land and the study Of
these violations can best be made
while they are fresh IN mind. 1t is
but just that there should be neutral
ity rules to be observed as well as
rules of war and not only should they
be drafted and agreed to, but they
should be respected.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sanitation the Greatest Agent.

Mr.. Editor: Anent the discussion of
the much mooted vaccination theme
now occupying space in your columns,
beg to offer the following evidence,
taken by Observer, that sanitation has
done more to reduce the volumne of
disease than any other agent. In jan
u4ry. 1903, published in Physical
Culture Magazine an account Of the
experience Of Cleveland. O. That city.
along with many others, had suffered
from the presence of smallpox for more
tiaa two years, despite the most thor
ougE going efforts to stamp 1t out by
vaccination. Everybody who could be
many instances revaccinated. Nothing
was left undone that vaccipatien might
do nor was there any contest against
5snnerism to initiate against its efH-
cheney. Still smallpox ragged, without
material check. Finally other means
were decided upon as worthy of trial
q. least. Vaccination was, abandoned
ard sanitation was 5resorted to. In
stead Of trying to render people inn
mune to the causative factor, the health
officer inte1ligently set about trying to
get rid of the factor itself. A sanitary
corps recruited from the medical
schools was sent from house to house
with scrub brushes, soap. water and
disinfectants, The walls were cleaned,
the floors. woodwork and windows were
scrubbed. and every contaminated thing
was either fumigated or burned Cleve-
land was given such cleaning up as
the city had never before experienced,
and, loi and behold, smallpox disap-
peared completely, so that not in six
months did case appear in the city.
Now 1t is interesting to note what
happened to DR.. Fredericl1s- IT Is a
notorious fact that, instead of receiv-
ing credit from majority of the med
icaI journals and certain druggist trade
payers, he was at once made target
for hostile criticism and censured by
without stint. A vigorous opposition
was at once brought to bear by health
officers of neighbnring cities from Buff
falo on the east to Chicago on the vest
and DIR. Fredericks was forced to aban-
don his sanitary Efforts, not because
he lad not improved the conditions in
Cleveland. but because his work was
furnishing ammunition to the oppo-
uents of vaccination and disproving the
efficacy of that medical dogma That
this was the true cause of the resump-
ton of vaccination will be readily seen
If one scans the columns of the medical
press of that period. Now that yRcci-
nation again became the fad in Cleve-
land, we can see the city again get
ting into line as a breeding place Of the
scourge. All this was heralded about
the country as failure of sanitation.
A letter from DIR. Fredericks. written
me in September, 1901, stated that he
had again resumed vaccination and
was vaccinating 10000 people per day.
Now let us examine the weekly
health report to the surgeon general OF
the u. s. marine hospital service. pub
lished by the Philadelphia Medical
| journal As this is official no one will
deny its truth. / give this condensed
| to save space:
For seven months following the pc
| Rod of sanitation which was completed

spasmodic Prosperity.

Mr.. Editor: In reply to our protests
of interference with our trade, England
points to our present prosperity and
the wise ones of our administration
are also in fine spirits over the same
prosperity. The question is. does
profit making OF munition plants, tenn
porary in its nature, make up for the
loss of our regular industries? Who Is
there that thinks SO? The English
government is hard at work to keep
the same time, they switch of to us the
war trade. They are working with
might and main to keep their indus
tries on their feet, in shape for the fuii
after the storm. While all this -
taking place. they seek to lame our
trade by engaging all our energies to
make war weapons for them. A hne
trap, and we seem to be falling into it.
The munitions boom viii tumble at
the close Of the war, and with IL our
whole pretended prosperity. Brad
streets marks more failures in 1915
than in 1914, the increase OF failures
being mostly in the SOUTH Are the
Southerners who were ruined in 1915
in any way compensated by the well
filed Golfers of the munition makers
One industry substituted for another
industry does not make for compensa-
tion. An industry which. with faii
play, would not only be staple bul
growing, has been greatly damaged
another industry with government aid
which even then cannot be steady, haE
crown to enormous proportions. This
all has happened in 1s14-1s15- How
much Of the profits of this new indus
try is secure? The profits are to, q
large extent represented by Anglo
French bonds, which are liable to be
renounced after the conflict Is over.
This Is not pessimisn, profit-mon-
gers. the banks, and the steel trusi
forewarn of the ficAleness of our In
dustrial conditions. When they fee
compelled to speak. to inform US o.
how uncertain the prosperity Is which
depends on the war trade. we may vel
take heed.

It may be no easy task to admin
lister the duties of the immigration Of
fee at New York and enforce the laws
of the country concerning those who
are coming TO these shores from other
lands. but there are nevertheless in
stances where It is almost impossible
to reconcile the course adopted In cer-
tain instances with those which have
been previously followed.
This il especially true in the case
Of Emmeline Pankhurst, which is now
under consideration. 1t was in 1913
that this woman came here from Eng
land for the purpose OF securing sup
port for the political cause she rep
resents in her native land. She was
then detained at Ellis island because
she had served prison term in her
own country for violation OF its laws
and upon that ground and in accord
ance with the laws of this country
she was looked upon as an undesir-
able person. even though she did not
intend to take UP her residence here,
but came solely on a visit during
which she would advance some OF her
ideas. The action of the immigration
authorities was appealed and as the
result she was admitted.
Now she comes again and again Is
detained though on this trip she is
interested in che cause of Servia and
the relief of the people in that dis
tressed country. She has no further
prison records hanging oyer her. and
that which she has appears to have
been passed upon by the present au-
thorities.
It is believed that she will be all
lowed to enter when Washington gets
the papers in her case, but under the
circumstances it is difficult to under
stand why all the red tape must be
gone over again with no new facts
to influence the situation

GERMANY SET THE EXAMPLE

From the present aspect OF the case
there Is no possibility that the charges
brought against the Baralong viii be
revfaqed by a court composed OF naval
officers of this country or of any neu-
trail country for that matter. The
support for its contention in this case
are the af1davits which Germany OBJ

the figures which have just been
made public showing the dre loss in.
this country during the past year show
excellent results for the efforts which
have been made In behalf OF fire pre-
vention. According to the tabuIated
estimates of fire insurance agencies
the total loss from flres in the United
States i'm 1915 amounted to $172. 671, 600
in property value and this is Of note
worthy Importance since 1t shows a
decrease OF $50, n00.0 900 over the year
previous and IS the first time in six
years that the loss has fallen below
$500, DoO. 600
Fire loss represents one of the great
national wastes and especially de-
plorable is 1t when it is understood
that large proportion Of II could be
avoided IL the proper amount of
thought was given to the matter OF
prevention That the decrease the
past year was to a large extent due
to the agitation IN behalf of preven-
tive and protective measures IN be-
lieved, although It is not possible to
point cut the instances where fore
thought has resulted In the actual
prevention of fires which would have
reached the amount Of the decrease.
Nevertheless the work that has been
done in that direction has not been
lost. It has been worth all the time
and effort that has been required and
1t gives evidence of tremendous saw
ing which Is profitable.
The introduction of safety first prin-
ciples in the protection OF property as
well as lives. resulting as it has in
greater care being used and improved
methods Of constructing buildings, has
by no means accomplished all that is
possible. A good start has been made,
but It is founded on such a sound basis
that it should arouse far greater at
tention and cooperation with each sue
ceeding year.
