Fatal Diseases of Children.

| That mystery plays great part in
| the fears of the public regarding cpl
demic diseases is well established among
| sanitarians. who long ago learned that
the wide spread of common disease does
not cause as much alarm as the preva-
lence of ailments the source and true
nature of which are undetermined. Thus
in the present prevalence of poliomye-
city. with the development up to this
morning of l ,557 cases and 81 deaths,
there is high state of popular appre-
hension amounting almost to panic. Yet
as DR.. Haven Emerson, health commits
sioner, said yesterday at special meet
ing of the New York Academy of Medi-
fifteen times as many children had died
of diarrhea as of infantile paralysis,
six times as many of measles, ten times
as many of diphtheria and four times
as many of whooping cough, without
exciting any public fears whatsoever.
In other words, children are dying by
hundreds in the large cities of these
communicable diseases, which may be
classed as preventable diseases, and lit
tie attention is paid to the fact. But
when deaths occur from a disease the
true nature of which is not yet deter
mined, there is great alarm, tens of
thousands of children are rushed out of
the city and extraordinary efforts are
required to check the epidemic in order
to allay the panic of the people. There
is a lesson in this fact for legislators
and administrators in the matter of the
enactment and enforcement of laws for
the safeguarding of public health as
against the ordinary diseases mentioned
by DR.. Emerson These child ailments
are not necessary. They are preventa-
BILE They can be brought under greater
control than at present if the proper
scrutiny is maintained over the foods
supplied to the people and over the man.
agement of cases as they develop. At
the root of all the diseases of children
lies the ignorance of parents, who take
terrible risks with the lives of their lit
tie ones and expose the children of others
to infection.

The Navy.

All that was said in the Senate yes
terday by Mr.. Swanson and Mr.. Lodge
on the subject of the navy was admi-
rably said Widely as the two senators
differ on domestic politics, they are in
full agreement as to what the American
duty is respecting the country's obi
CATION to itself on the water. Both would
have the navy equal to every demand,
tions, and probable conditions growing
out of them, demand which it would
be n crime to ignore, or even minimize.
The merest recital of the situation
shows the national duty. Our long coast
lines are matters of exact measurement.
The Philippine Islands, the Hawaiian
Islands and Porto Rico are ours. We
are responsible for Cuba. The Panama
canal, built with our money through a
zone controlled by US, is important to us
beyond statement in money figures.
The Monroe doctrine is still in force.
and its support the pledge of both po-
litical parties.
These are facts entirely beyond con-
troversy, and show the need of great
navy But more is to come-iust how
much cannot at present be measured.
We aspire to became one of the largest
of the sea carriers. We are planning
for a merchant marine second to none,
and for an increased foreign trade
which will make all our previous per
formances in that line look small by
comparison.
Now nothing is clearer from expert
ence than that merchant marine worthy
the name must be supported by force.
In fact, government itself rests upon
force. Night may not always make
right, but the right without might be-
hind it affords little more in this prac
teal old world than a subject for aca
demic discussion and rhetorical exer-
else.
All that we have in the way of land
possessions, all that we are responsible
for in the way of public policies, and
all that we are promising ourselves in
the way of many times larger foreign
trade, alike call for navy second to
none. Why second to any! Last win
ter the President, after his conversion
to preparedness, asked in a public
speech for an Incompatible navy, and
there was general applause for the prop
osition. 1t is as sound now as then. We
have always given good account of
ourselves on the water. From John Paul
Jones and John Barry to George Dewey
American prestige afoat has stood at the
top. Why not keep it there, and en-
large our naval establishment TO accord
with our growth, the growth of other
powers, and the changed and changing
features of growing worlds

Bull Moosery and the South.

The Philadelphia North American, the
leading bull moose organ while bull
moosery was national force, laments
the fall of that party. with special re-
gard to the south. Referring to the fact
that the republican party has never been
able 70 carry the south because of issues
growing out of the civil war, it holds
that the bull moose party would in time
have grown in great favor in that sec
ton, and thus have given the voters
choice between two parties, both ma
tional. II says:
During its brief existence the pro
gressive party gave striking proof of the
soundness of this view In 1912 it polled
strong vote throughout the south, yet
as a whole the attitude of that region
was one of reserve. Since then, how
ever, the movement has steadily gained
IN vigor there; more and more there has
been revealed desire among repre-
sentative citizens of the south to shake
off their sentimental allegiance to demo-
cratic tradition and cast their ballots
with Americans in the north and east
anu West Win WHOSE
economic and constructive policies they
are in sympathy"
With all respect, does the record sup
port this viewi Where in the south
since 1912, on what issue, and under
what leadership, had bull moosery shown
any gain, or given promise Of a future
What strength did it show there in 1912,
when it was fresh and vigorous and I'M
der the national leadership of the man
who had brought it into being'
As a matter Of fact, but one appeal
was made in the south in the name Of
bull moosery between November, 1912
and April, 1916, and that failed COM
pletely. In Louisiana, where a griev-
ance against the democracy existed on
account of the administrations free

West Front DEVELOPMENTS.

Apparently the allied drive in Picardy
has not diminished the intensity of the
German onslaught against the French
at Verdun. They have continued to
pound at the defenses against which
they have been battering for nearly
five months, seemingly determined, if
possible, to force the issue at that point
at any cost This is the only place on
the entire Teutonic line where at pres
emit the entente allies are on the de-
fensive, and from a political point Of
view it is vitality important that the Ger
mans continue this offensive action in
the hope of securing victory, which,
however local and ineffective as bear
ing upon the general war situation, may
in the minds of the economic people
offset the disadvantages and defeats
suffered elsewhere.
At present in Picardy the British have
suddenly resumed their offensive tactics
and have gained ground materially in
the direction of Combles, northwest Of
Peronne. Breaking suddenly from Con-
talmaison and Montauban, after only one
day of artillery preparation, they have
broken through the second line of Ger
man defenses and carried the villages

The Senate and the District.

True TO its traditional observance of
the principle of equal participation in
the principle of equal participation
Capital, the Senate appropriations com
mittee has discarded the House pro-
vision in the District bill which repeats
the organic act of 1873 with respect to
haif-and-half division of the cost.
Yesterdays action by the committee in
which every member assented. may well
be believed to foreshadow a similar ac-
tion by the Senate. perhaps in even
greater force than last year, when the
Senate refused to concur in the House
provision contrary to the spirit and let
ter of the act of 1878.
1t was expected that the Senate com
mittee would act in this manner. not
merely because heretofore that body has
but because this year the attack upon
the halfand half principle embodied in
the House provision is especially unjust,
IN view of the recommendations and
findings of the joint select committee
created at the instance of the Senate
last year. And it is also expected that
the Senate itself will by an even greater
majority than a year ago insist upon
the half -and half principle for the alb
rogation of which not suggestion of
proof has been adduced.
t.
ration of the Senate on this point be
made in emphatic terms, made so by the
size of the formal vote cast in favor
of the Senate committee amendment,
which cancels the House provision for
a merging of the District tax revenues
in the Treasury and the appropriation
of federal funds on a sliding scale with
out regard to the amount raised by the
District. There should be no compro-
mise this year on this matter. The Sen
ate has before it all the testimony taken
before the joint select committee,
reading of which must convince any
member of that body, not only of the
injustice of the proposed change but the
utter lack of necessity. 1t has before
it also the recommendations of that COM
mittee, which lead to no such conclu-
sion as that expressed in the House bill
The complete refutation of all the allie
cations advanced by the opponents of
the half-and half principle, in the course
of the hearings before the joint select
committee, leaves them without ground
on which to stand in their present en-
deavor to kill the organic act. The rea-
sons for the Senate's incorporating
opposition to this Ubiquitous effort to re-
peal the Districts constitution are
stronger today than they we're year
ago, and the District awaits the result
of the Senate's vote and the conference
proceedings with confidence that justice
will be done.
