MORE LIGHT ON THE
YOUNGSTOWN RIOT


From the st. Louis Republic.
AS the truth about the riot in East
ingly clear that underneath the whole
trouble lay a failure to regard the men as
human beings and potential citizens of the
United States.
Ir the shops of the Youngstown Sheet &
Tube Co, 1t is found, there are men who
speak % European dialects. They are I'M
able to understand their leaders or to I'M
derstand one another. They had been
formed into some sort of organization by
the American Federation of Labor. with
the help of polylingual organizers, and had
been called upon to strike.
Just who instigated the violence Is not
clear, but all accounts agree that there
appeared among the men a considerable
number of strangers who were able to
speak to the men in their own tongues
and who also had a liberal supply OF
money. The employers charge that these
men were agents OF the federation. The
federation say they We're imported by the
bosses TO make trouble and so compel
the state to send troops. One theory is
that these strangers were sent by persons
who wished to depress the value of stocks
IN the companies and so to interfere with
q contemplated merger. Another theory.
not credited by the Youngstown officials,
Is that the agitators were in the employ
of Austria or Germany and bent upon
stopping the manufacture of munitions.
The account given by the strikers is that
when these men came among them they
oegan giving orders which were obeyed.
The men say they do not know who they
-G- Na'Ss NilS SaSS US &c
they were given and began the demonstra-
hon which ended in riot.
Nothing of that kind could possibly have
happened IL the men had known English
and had understood the government under
which they lived and the organization to
which they belonged. This is not saying
that violence in labor strikes may not oc-
cur among men who know English and
know their relations to their government.
We all know 1t does, but 1t is very certain
that real Americans could never be taken
over by a handful of utter strangers pos
Ing as authorized leaders and turned into
a bowling mob. What made that possible
was the fact that the men leaving the
| of their old homes behind them had come
to a new land where the language was un-
Ineligible to them. where the laws for
their protection were unknown to them
and the procedure by which they might
| expect redress of their wrongs through or
ganfzation or otherwise was not under
stood. The universal language of force
was theirs, and they understood ii. When
the suggestion that they use 1t was made
they were all too ready to accept 1t.
The first and INDISPENSABLE thing to be
done to meet such situations Is to spread
the knowledge of English among foreign
language speaking workers With that
as u tool they can begin to understand
the country they live In and the condi-
tons under which they live. They will ex-
men. CITIZENSHIP and the vote will become
| their goal and the consciousness OF a state
| and a country to be used for the better
ment of society ard to be defended be-
cause they are good viii take the place of

Passina OF Farm Loan Shark.

- GLcAli lit LNcilSaS City star.
In the "eariy days" OF the west, espec-
Tally in Kansas. there was, in almost
every little town. a few men who grew
"1and rich by making farm loans at Il
rate of interest which spelled ruin to the
borrower. h old institution of pioneer
days has disappeared.
Nowadays the men who deal in farm
mortgages. as q class, pride themselves
on the extreme rarity of the necessity for
taking over the security on their loans.
That may be taken as an evidence of the
change that has come over the idea of
what constitutes good business
The old economists held that Only one
party to a bargain could profit. Now the
farmer who seeks to mortgage his place
usually is among the most progressive of
the community. He wants new capital to
improve his. land. to get the best possible
returns. The man who lends him the
money takes that fact into consideration.
II now Is regarded as rolly to lend more
than can reasonably be paid, and the
amount OF the loan usually is reguiated by
the needs of the If the farm
er Is .shifttess',,s or slack in his business
methods, or Is n poor farmer. the amount
is lowered, if. indeed. the loan is made at
all. And one of the first questions asked
by the man who lends the money is.
Does he drink"
Today's methods of making farm loans
are a far cry from the sold-time mcneybags
who made farm loans with only TWO ideas
in view: One, TO get outrageous interest
rates. the other. TO get the farm.

GERMAN COURTS RULE
AGAINST SCIENTISTS

Berlin-Fraulein Huesgen and Frau
Ahrend. the two Christian Scientists
recently sentenced to prison for being
responsible for the death Of two Berlin
actresses, have appealed from the
Judgment of h trial court. Local
legal authorities, however, predict a
certain affirmation of the Judgment,
basing their view on opinions already
handed down by the imperial supreme
court in similar cases. In each of these
the court held hat the assumption of
the treatment of the patient and the
failure to call in a physician constitutes
gross negligence. 1t said in one case:
The trial court found the negligence
of the ccuse to exist in the act that
he carried on the treatment Of the
patient alone, although he knew the
dangerous character of the Hines and
must also have known that this i'll
ness required a proper treatment, and
he could have foreseen that death
might possibly be the result OF his
treatment. In these circumstances the
court could assume without error that
the accused lost sight Of the required
care n perception, and especially that
he did not. as healer take proper con
sideration for the life of his patient.
II therefore acted against duty and
in a guilty manner"

HOW VACCINATION HAS
LESSENED SMALLPOX
John Z Iuhea. in GauioI,S

Jonn X. Huber, in Golfers.
Before Jenner put vaccination on and
showed how to take smallpox off the map
OIL civilization, whole nations We're deci-
mated by this virulent infection, whole
cities were depopulated, whole towns and
villages wiped entirely out of existence.
Public officials divided the people into
those who had had. those having. and
those going to have smallpox. One in four
sufferers died: of the survivors many
We're hideously blinded. In Johnson's and
his time every other adult met
on the ought was pock-marked:
nor did this variola respect royalty and
the quality any more than it did the COM
mon people. Such is the b~efore-picture.
Look now on the after-picture. For ex-
ample. since Germany adopted compul
sorry vaccination she has during long peri
DDS not had a single smallpox case among
her slxty-odd million of people; and great
er New York. which has a thoroughly eff
fcient health department. had in 1913. de-
spite It's 81 OF more varieties of immi-
grants, just one smallpox death. Ponder
effect. "'ie
But cannot smallpox be avoided in any
rection. and quarantine? Yes, these meas
ures help: but a superabundance of fate
full experience has shown hat they will
simply not take the place OF vaccination.
Is vaccination dangerous? The dange
here are infinitesimal by comparison with
what this measure shields us from. Any
one refusing to see this point lacks per
spective and a sense Of proportion. All
surgery has elements of danger; so has a
pm PRICK OF l. razor scratch. Walking
along a country road these lays is a
thousandfold more dangerous than vacci-
nation. Our doctors vaccinated $500. GOO
Filipinos. without a single death or any
postvaccinal complication. Practically all
conceivable danger comes not with but
after this Slight operation: from unclean-
liness and the lack of proper precautions.
And IT is not true, as has been main
tanned, that tetanus germs are to be or
have been found In the virus used for
vaccinations. Obey your doctor. or follow
the rules of your health department (sent
you on request). and there will be no
danger.
But Is vaccination needed nowadays
when there is SO little smallpox? There
is now so little of this disease because
our health departments. being eternally
yigiiant. are constantly demonstrating the
efficacy Of vaccination when epidemics
threaten. Besides, one of the most grue-
some facts about smallpox is It's perio-
when the supply of the susceptible hu-
man material was exhausted. only to
thrive anew with the fresh generations
Thus. from 1893 to 1897. smallpox killed off

/; longer deemed necessary. Let us, then.
not be bold against an absent danger, nor
! despise the antidote while one has no
| painful experience of the bane.

THE SKATING CRAZE.

nothing can be said against it. ! hops

/ Every woman expects that next

! Every mother knows that she can
expect some of her children to nave
adeneids, enlarged tonsilS and neck
glands next spring.
Every health officer knows that the
winter death rate is the highest OF the
year. The rate, having started on us
upward climb the latter part of NO
vember. continuously ascends until the
maximum is cache about April l.
Every physician knows that winter
is he season of colds and pneumonia.
For these well recognized conditions
there are several reasons. n result
is due to one cause and another to an
other cause. But one cause runs
through every situation - excessive
number Of hours spent quietly in warm,
i'll ventilated rooms.
Skating offers a remedy. 1t is q
sugar coated pill. There is nc better
exercise. 1t calls into play muscles
and nerves of every part of the body.
1t stimulates the heart and quickens
the flow of blood. 1t causes yer slug
gish portion of the body to be Washed
clean by fresh blood n lymph. The
excess of body heat is easily lost to
the surrounding cold air.
AS n fIleogS of pattipU IF and lyoan-
ing fit throughout the winter skating
is a most worthy craze. Those who
become its devotees will develop good,
hard muscles. They will not suffer
from winter constipation nor from win
ter headaches. 1t is good for the COM
plc1ion. 1t is a fine remedy for
pimples. on the face. AS a preventive
of spring r~oughening of the skin it has
no superior.
AS a means Of preventing colds and
pneumonia it is excellent. The open
air contacts of skaters do not cause
people to catch cold from people cap
able of spreading it. One catches
pneumonia from pneumonia carriers in
warm rooms, but not on the old open
OF a frozen pond. Children who skate
will not develop adenoids, tonsils,
neck glands, or e~araches. Furthermore.
II the warming fires are built in the
open n close warming rooms near
skating ponds are avoided the skating
craze will lessen the winter dangers
from diphtheria, scarlet fever and
measles.
