ton law is evident. But why did he
have to let such situation develop
to teach him this, and if we should
have compulsory arbitration, why, in
the name of all that is reasonable,
should it not be applied to this, the
greatest labor disput in the history
of the world? The President says he
cannot secure arbitration. Perhaps
he cannot, now that he has publicly
endorsed the mems position in refus-
ing it; but If he cannot this probably
is entirely due to his own fault.
The Railway Age Gazette believes
that not only the future of the rail-
ways, but to a great extent the in
dustrial future of the Unied States
has been put at stake by the form this
controversy has been given by Pres
ident Wilson. 1t believes there is abb
solutely no justification for giving
these employees in train service
higher wages and then passing the
burden along to the public in the
form of increased rates. 1t believes
there is absolutely only one fair and
just way for settling this controversy
and that is by arbitration. 1t, there
fore, believes that the railway pres
idents and managers should reject the
Presidents proposal, even though it
seems probable that this will result in
a strike; and it believes that If a
strike comes the chief responsibility
for it will rest, on President Wilson.
The President was in the best posi-
ton, Of anybody to avert a strike un-
til last Monday; and if he is not now,
it is because he abandoned the tsrate-
gle position which he then occupied.

cheney, and in its heavy death rate.
But any prediction as to the future
control of disease must include the
uncertain element of individual will
ingness to cooperate with health au-
thorities for individual welfare and
for that Of the community. Just as
long as the individual citizen won't
cooperate, just so long VIII the gem
eral advance in health matters be
delayed.
Medical science has made long
strides forward within the past twenty
years, and it is advancing to wider
usefulness more rapidly now than ever
before. Perhaps its greatest practic-
al benefit to mankind within this last
score of years, has been to show that
diseases may be prevented and to
bring the method and the proof to
every man who will read or listen.
The results of its discoveries have
been published free and far and wide
and through the medical profession
the family doctor-these results are
within the reach of all.
The man who refuses or neglects
to make these practical things a part
of his life, to know these practical
and simple remedies or preventives,
is guilty of an offense which each year
is becoming more grave and serious.

Press dispatches from the Mexican
border received not many days ago
brought the announcement that in the
United States Army, assembled there
on account of Villa and other troubles.
only six deaths from disease have &C.
Cured and that there has not been
a single case Of typhoid fever.
That's some record, especial when
1t describes health conditions cover
ing period Of four to six months

larger portion of whom have been TAX

food and Surroundings. 1t talks
strong for Uncle Sans way of look
ing after the physical welfare of his
fighting men. and the provision he
makes for them.
! The idea occurs, why may not this
record be approached in civil life? OF
course, it could never be equaled, for
the army is made up of picked men,
chosen for their physical fitness and
the examination is severe. Those who
are left at home incule the lame and
halt and blind-childen and the aid
and the weaklings, among whom the
mortality and sick rates necessarily
are higher.
But the statement that no case of
typhoid fever has occurred among the
fighter is significant. OF course, If
the enlisted man won't take the anti
typhoid vaccination, he can't stay In
the army. Uncle Sam makes that one
of the conditions of enlistment, and
it's about the first order the new sol-
der has to obey. But our worthy
uncle has, not yet discovered any
way to enforce that order among the
people who stay at home.

The Railway Age-Gazette said last
week that it was inconceivable that
the President of the United States
could have proposed to the Railways
that they should abandon their posi-.
ton in favor of arbitration and grant
the demands of the train employees
for so-called Eight Hours Day."
1t seemed inconceivable that the Pres
ident should do this, but it is now on
ly too well known that this is what he
actually did.
The nation regarded first with sur
prise, then with establishment and
finally with absolute amazement the
course taken by the President. It he
thought it to be generally popular he
has been rudely disillusioned. The
business interests have risen to the
situation and are backing the rail-
ways in their insistence on arbitra-
ton with an outspokenness, an ener-
gy and an unanimity which has been
even to railway men. On
ly a small part of the press has en-
dorsed the Presidents course, and in
ia lukewarm manner. On the other
hand a very large part of the press
is savagely denouncing Mr.. Wilson,
land declaring that by his abandon
ment Of the principle of arbitration he
has dealt heavy blow to the cause
of industrial peace, which will tend
to cause strikes, lockouts and anarchy
in every branch of business.
The President Denies that he has
thrown over the principle of arbitra-
tion. But actions speak louder than
profession. The railways repeatedly
Offered arbitration, and the President
made absolutely no real effort to get
the men to accept it. The President
adds that the eight hour day is sane
toned by social progress and justice
and is not an arbitrable question.
This is shee nonsense. and II 1t were
not it would have no application to
the present controversy. To say that
the question of an eight-hour day is
not arbitrable when a day of, that
length has been established in only
a very small part of the commercial
and industrial concerns of the country
is absurd on it face. Furthermore,
what is more important. in this con-
nection, the train employees have not
asked for real eight-hour day, and
the acceptance of the plan which the
President has endorsed does not pro-
vide that no man shall work either
more or less than eight hours. 1t
provides that il an employee works
more than eight hours he shall be
paid overtime for the excess hours,
and that if he works less than eight
hours he shall receive full days
pay, anyway. Preposterous as it may
appear, this is the plan the President
has said it is the duty of the railways
to accept without arbitration; and the
result of it's adoption would be that
railways would pay a days pay for
much less than an average of eight
hours work.

statement that the situation shows

Determined to nominate Roosevelt
and not knowing whether he would
