CHILDREN OF 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 it's lack of sanitary provisions,
is not so healthful place as was
thought. But no study has been
made sufficient to enable anyone to
make comparison.
So far the activities of the Chill
dren'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
it's appropriation be made 100000,
and that its staff be increased to
lightweight 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 $4,000 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.

GOVERNMENT DERELlCTIONS

Eighteen persons, afflicted with
tuberculosis, are at work at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
and they cannot go to sanitorium
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-five 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 par
with the backwardness of the Gov
ornment 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 a
year 1T Government expense, and
continue their paw, is what many q
private firm would do. 1t would not
he charity, it would be good business
for as long as the employees stay
here hey are endangering the
health # those who, despite all pre-
cautions. must come into some con
tact with them.

SHOT AT THE DUTCH FLAG

The torpedoing Of the Dutch tank
steamer Artemis by a 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
German submarine are perfect IL
Illustrations of the distorted logic
which is responsible for the Prus
sian war machine running amuck
against an enemy, against a neutral,
against a friend.
A British enemy has hoisted the
Dutch flag to deceive a German
submarine; therefore it. IS the righz
Of 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! Dom
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 nine 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
hest German sentiment to stomach
they would have persisted in that
policy-Germany today would have
every sea power in the whole worlc
fighting her side by side with the
present allies. And the Berlin mur
der bund, with its deformed visioy
and topsy-turvy sense of war logic
would have called heaven to wit
ness that all the races Of Christen
dom were wantonly and wGkedl!
falling upon a Germany as spotless
ly pure as a sacrificia! lamb.

VIGOROUSLY low at the bureau. 1t
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 condi-
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.

that the selling price shall be at
least more than the cost Of produc-

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 great Government
department having so much to do
with natural resources, natural
products, and natural regulations.

THE LUslTANIA" CONCESSIONS"

To understand just what it is that
Germany has conceded" to the
United States in its latest Lusitania
note, it is necessary to consider the
Interpretation placed on the commu-
nication by the German press and
public. 1t is understood that Ger
many admits that American lives
ought not to have been sacrificed as
an incident to reprisal against Great
Britain, and therefore is willing to
pay for these lives.
But this does not disavow the act !;
rather, it is insisted, the act cannot
be disavowed because it was per-
formed under orders. 1t does not
carry any guarantee for the future,
if we may judge from the German
Interpretation. In Berlin. it is said,
the feeling is that if the United
States acGuiesces in settlement on
this basis, the submarine warfare
can be resumed; it will merely be
necessary to go ahead sinking mer-
chantmen without notice, warning, or
safety for -combatants and neu-
trails, onlv reserving that the United
States will expect to be paid for any
American lives lost.
This is the bald statement of the
case as German commentators view
it. How will it appeal to Amerl-
cans? After near year of negotla-
ton, Berlin assumes to believe that
great victory has been won, mas
much as the United States is to be
satisfied, and submarine slaughter is
not to be sacrificed Berlin is con-
vinced that it is "too dangerous for
submarines to stop their victims and
save lives on board; so it is really
necessary to take off the last restric-
ton that could interfere with free
killing. And that is what will re-
suit, in Berlin's view. if the United
States acouiesces in the latest state
ment of the German attitude.
| President Wilson and his advisers
have vet to decide whether they will
accept the newest German proposal
Assuredly they should insist, before
they act, on knowing precisely what
Germany thinks it means by its pro
posal.
Acceptance of any Lusitania set
tlement that would be followed by ;
resumption of slaughter on the higl
seas, with merely the reservation
that America would take money 70,
American lives incidentally lost
would not be a settlement. 1t woul'
be the assurance that very soon
new and insurmountable crisis woul'
present itself. The American peo
pie will not submit to any adjust
ment by which, on a cash basis, thi
Government issues license to xii
. Americans on the high seas.

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 short
age of supply and an increase Of de-
mand?
In his experiences with public af-
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 if
the Government does its 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 tha;

Kentucky has before Tie House Of
