 made no little progress. but it is not to be supposed that it has ignored it's southern frontier entirely since the Bulgarian forces could by no means be ignored and they were depended upon to keep the Runanians actively en- gagged and to draw them off from ad- vances in other directions.
 Thus far, however. it has not been disclosed that Russia has sent that army which has been reported to be ready to enter and cross Runania for the purpose of opposing the Bull garians. That it has plenty of men available for service of that character has been disclosed by the manner in which it has been sending them to the several fronts in Europe. Thus while the Bulgarians appear to nave struck the first, and certainly a tell ing blow. there is yet to be reckoned the strength which Russia will throw into that field of operations to say nothing of the menace which the al- lied forces furnish on the Saloniki front

POLITICAL
Mir. Hughes FauItfincIing.

MT. Hughes's fault finding is whole some. Some of it is criticised by MT. Wilson's friends as petty, but it is not. He has emphasized various scat tered instances of the operation of the spells system at Washington, but they are typical instances There is much more to be said than he has yet said regarding the low estate to which civil service reform has fallen since Wood row Wilson entered the White House.
 Is it petty fau1t-fnding to denounce the Democratic porIS-barrel? American taxpayers will not think so. The pub lie buildings act is estimated at one half pork. Twenty millions of the pub lies money wasted in 8 single meas ure!
 Is MT. Hughes's fault finding in Mex ico petty? When we come to settle for the costly Wilson experiment along the Rio Grande it will not look so.
 What is there that is petty about the Republican nominees criticism of the Administrations course in European affairs? The history of American diplomacy fails to disclose another such record of incompetency and vacilIation.
 More power to Charles Evans Hughes as he applies his keen and logical mind to the faults that have aIienated hum dreds of thousands of Mir. Wilson's supporters and well-wishers of four years ago!-Providence Journal

THE TRAINING CAMPS.

How strong an appeal is made by the training camps which have been instituted about the country is indi- cated by the number who have at- tended and by the words of approval and appreciation for the benefits gained which come from those who have been members of the classes. This is disclosed not only by the an- nouncements of many that they are going back for more but through the Influence which it is having upon others so that throughout the entire season, which will close with the class which is now assembling at Plattsburg, the camps have not lack ed for recruits.
 These classes are not made up of those who have nothing else to do, but of men who are prominent in all lines of endeavor, who appreciate the value of preparedness and of getting training which would be valuable in an emergency at 8 time when it can be secured under proper conditions, so that if called upon at any time in the future they will be ready to render. as many civilians would be called up- on to do, a service which would be valuable to their country.
 The camps such as those at Platts- burg were well conceived. The rec ord of attendance and accomplish ment has fulfilled all expectations and the idea. gives every promise of not only doing all that was hoped for it but of being extended and contin- ued in years to come. That perhaps is one of the best signs of success.

OUR FUTURE PRosPERIrY.

There are those in this country who are satisfied with our present state of prosperity. They look upon it as firmly established and certain to be continued under democratic policies. They fail to make allowance for the part which the war has played in speeding up American industry and lifting it from the slough of despond into which it had fallen during the first few months of free trade legis- lation.
 Our need for increased foreign trade has always been recognized. When we get to the point that our production, both agricultural and in dustrial, is more than sufficient to meet our requirements. it is highly important that there should be an outlet for these goods and that can not be obtained unless proper consid- eration has been given to it in ad- vance. We have always been export CTS but we do not enjoy that share of foreign trade to which we are en- titled, and while foreign countries have been forced by the war to aban- don most of their trade with nations which have depended upon their out put, which condition will continue to the end of the war, it must be real ized that the time is coming when we are going to be subjected to greater competition than has ever existed be- fore.
 In view of that situation the New York Mail pertinently asks Are we preparing for prosperity in the fu- ture? What is to be the influence of our international policy, for example upon the future of America? What will be the influence of the admins tration's foreign policy upon this question of oversea markets ?"
 These are all timely questions and ones to which deep consideration needs to be given.

TIME TO START NOW.

With the decrease in the number of infantile paralysis cases in the . metropolis, information is advanced to the effect that the medical authori- ties believe that the crisis has been passed for this year. but that it is expected that there will be another epidemic next year.
 This doesn't furnish anything very cheerful to look forward to- Many communities have undergone an ex- perience which they do not care to repeat and none more so than the city of New York. In this connection Q most valuable lesson has been D taught in the matter of prevention.
 Whether it is an actual fact or not it has been maintained that the disease got it's foothold and was aided by the failure to maintain proper sanitary conditions. That there is inclined to be a laxity in respect to the proper a enforcement of health rules is well known. It is easier to wink at reg ulations and overlook infractions of the law than it is to enforce those provisions which it is well known are vital to the preservation of a health full community. New York may not be the sole example of negligence but IL o1erS d SlarlnS one, ana m VleW or thesfact that those who claim to know say, that the city will have another visitation from poliomye1itfs next summer it is high time that efforts we're started at once which would re- suit in the desired clean up. The need ofasanitation has been so plainly dis closed that it should not be allowed tozbe forgotten just as soon as there lssa falling off in the number of cases DTadeaths from this disease.

TO TEST THE LEGISLATION.

There is nothing unusual, and nei- ther can it be said to be un- expected, in the action which Presi- Gent Ripley Of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road has taken in an nouncing that the Adamson bill will be carried to the supreme court of the United States for an interpretation.
 IL is provided in the measure that the operations Of the bill must be in vestigated by the special commission to be named by President Wilson. that study to occupy not less than six nor more than nine months, but the rail- road head, who will doubtless have the adtpport of all the other roads gives =zio4ice that he does not accept the eeonstitutionality of the act of con- -gress. To accept such and await the Afnltcone of the commissions investi- ,-gation might place the railroads in . Ftn embarrassing position and prevent recourse to the courts later on. This , will be overcome by the action which tis now proposed of finding out whether Atke legislation is legal.
 at Upon that point the special com- mission will make no report and to delay until their findings and recom- n1endations are available means the loss of much valuable time And re- gardless of such there is bound to be the question of constitutionality al- ways before them This 1t seems should be determined and it can be recognized that it is well to have it . established as soon as possible. Just how the matter will be taken to the courts has not been decided but the statement of President Ripley gives pretty good assurance that it will be, in order to get the railroads rights clearly established on that point.

the American people spend three bil- lion dollars annually for immortality and social diseases. This is thirty dollars apiece for every man, woman and child finding shelter and protec- tion beneath the American flag. It is twice as much as the present demo- cratic administration has spent the past year, including the extraordinary appropriation of over six hundred mil lions for preparedness. It is more than all the costs of religious and sec ular education for the republic. It doesn't seem possible in the face of such facts as these to become chesty over our purity. Our sins not only find us out but give us away because of our necessities. Colton is not so far from right when he says: To des- pise our own species is the price we must often pay for knowledge of it. 3 Cherish the thought.
