TO supporting a war which the world
generally condemns" in anticipation
Of the primary election tomorrow.

diets that the voters OF Pennsylvania
will express the same preference.

look for the miracle'-is fulfilled,
Mr.. BERNARD RrDpER will have estab-

Mr.. Brysn's Latest Paramount

Mr.. BRYAN's latest advice to the
Democratic party Is TO make Euro
pean peace the issue In the national
campaign this fall. He would have
the President seek to end the war.
thereby attaching to his party the
peace element" among the Republi.
cans Failure, he asserts. would not
be humiliating, while success would
be Of tremendous value to him 1.-THE
President politically" and TO his
imperilled party.
Making paramount issues Is a
favorite pastime Of Nebraska's re-
5ected statesman. In the existing
circumstances his project is no with
out possibilities that will commend 1t
10 certain of his fellow partisans
whose interest In public life is less for
humanity than 1t Is for Jobs. A cam
paign conducted on an issue made in
Europe would reduce to decent incon-
spicuity the domestic record Of the
President and his party and relieve
them Of explanations and defences
they have no desire to attempt. II the
minds Of the voters could be charged
with the horrors Of armed strife and
the beauties Of peace they would for
get the tariff. the wastefulness of the
Democratic Congress. the strange rec
ord of the Administration In Mexico.
the neglect OF the nations military
and naval establishments. even. It
may he. JosErHus. How pleasant the
prospect were the affairs Of Human
ity to supersede the sordid concerns
of the United States In the struggle

But even Mr.. WILSON cannot make
the issue by formal decree. greatly

OF his activities within the United
States cannot he hidden behind as
piratlons for the welfare ~ the
peoples Of other nations. Mr.. WILSON

Infantile scuPvy and P~ssteurixed
MIX.

A recent weekly bulletin Of the
Department OF Health of this city
defends Its wise policy of general
pasteurization Of all milk not certified

with more patience than the unwar.
ranted attacks that are made upon
this only safe milk merit.
In Il discussion of q u Oh Vita
mines to which THE Sun has called
attention as a recently discovered nu-
tritive element In most foods. an emf
nent specialist repeated the opinion
hitherto expressed by him that the
alleged increase of infantile scuryy
in this city was due to the exclusive
use of p%asteurized milk in the arti-
fetal feeding Of infants. Another spe-
cialist In children's diseases showed
the valuable result of freedom from
scurvy Of infants fed with pastcur-
lied milk when Orange Juice was
added. That the use of orange juice
will cure this mild type Of so-called
scurvy has also been long known.
The Department Of Health does not
regard these objections to the en-
forced pasteurizatiOn which It has
wisely achieved after prolonged struc.
gle with the cheap milk dealers as
constituting opposition to Its life nv
ing ordinances on this subject. This
is n mild way Of putting II. 1t would
