.DHNMARK's CURIOUS ERROR

Not much wonder, perhaps, that
Denmark should be suspicious Of
more powerful countries; she has
suffered sadly through their rapac-
ity. She has recently seen other
minor nations pay the penalty of
their inability to defend themselves.
So her people are fearful that If
they don't sell their West Indian
islands to the United States, Uncle
Sam may move in without even a
"by your leave"
It is no reflection on the United
States; merely testimony to the
fact that confidence in international
law. right and obligation is pitifully
shaken. The United States might in
exigent circumstances of menace
against the Panama canal, feel COM
PEELED to take possession of the Dan
ish islands; but it is inconceivable
that she would do it save for the
purpose Of keeping them out of the
hands of some power whose posses
sion of them would threaten our
vital interest. In such an event,
they would be handed back to Den
mark in due time and with proper
compensation for any injury in
hicted.

DEALING WITH EPIDEMICS

Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo characterized the conference on
infantile paralysis as the most i'm
portant of its kind ever held. In
many ways the conference is unique.
About forty States sent health off,
Gals here, and score or more rail-
roads, anxious to cooperate in pre-
venting spread of the epidemic, also
are represented.
The conference ought to adopt
standard rules concerning transpor-
tation from infected districts, quar-
antine, and methods of notifying
other districts when suspected car
riers enter their territory. When
such a standard code is formulated
it should be enforced by every State
and city in the country.
A wider effect may be the stand
ardization of rules governing pro-
tective measures against all cpl
denies. Uniform regulations in the
matter Of one disease should point
the need for a uniformity covering
all. In such regulations the rail-
roads have become an increasingly
important factor, and their co-opera-
ton is commendable.

"TODY" HAMILTON AND CAESAR

Julius Cesar was the original
press agent and the originator of the
circus poster. When he was in poll
tics in Rome-which was all the time
he wasn't at war in Gaul, and much
of the time when he was-Cesar
used to rent the sides Of high build
ings-they had some pretty sky
.scraping ones there, too-and from
them blazon to the world his pro-
nouncements about public affairs. He
mixed up his political editorials with
bits of interesting news, by way Of
keeping his publicity stuff next to
pure reading matter; and it was a
great vote getter.
Cesar went to his reward, what
ever it may have been, and press
agency languished. The man who
revived the Cesarian system was
Phineas T. Barnum, with the circus
poster; and in the Barnum editorial
school the greatest of editors was
"Tody" Hamilton, this week de-
ceased in Baltimore at the age of
seventy.
Hamilton was a master of the
coruscating, incandescent, and I'M
paralleled adjective. Likewise he

WHICH WAY WILL THE TIDE
FLOW?

Following the money panic Of
1907 there was an impressive check
ing of immigration to this country,
and a great increase of emigration.
Many thousands of foreign-born
persons, finding themselves out Of
employment, returned to their ma
tive lands. A considerable proper
ton of these had saved something
and took it back with them. More
than few were able to take away a
sufficient amount to establish them,
in their old homes, in better circum-
stances than they had ever known
before.
From the beginning of the pres
ent war there has been conflict of
opinion as to whether after the con-
fiict European labor would food this
country. The commissioner of i'm.
migration in New York is convinced
that the first year after the war will
see the greatest tide of immigration
the country has ever known.
Yet there is another side. Rep
resentatives Of the steamship COM
panies, which are in closer touch
than anybody else with the sources
and motives Of immigration, declare
that there is evidence of a strong
disposition to move the tide in ex-
actly the opposite direction. Many
aliens now resident here are declared
already to be making payments on
reservations for return to the old
world at the wars end. They an
ticipate industrial activity incident
to rebuilding there, and industrial
recession here. Sentiment for their
native countries moves many to wish
for the privilege of helping rehabili-
tate their own lands. The same con.
siderations that took thousands
away from America to serve in the
armies of their native countries
| would move other thousands to re.
turn to the old home.
It is good guessing either way
Probably emigration will be dis,

THE DROP IN GASOLINE

Gasoline is on the way down.
There will be a wide variety of ex-
plantations, and the most cherished
ones will be mostly wrong. 1t will
be insisted that the increased price
represented conspiracy to despoil
the motorist. and that the conspiracy
blew up when the light of publicity
and the threat of public action were
invoked.
But the fact is that it has been a
fine demonstration of the law of sup
ply and demand. The higher price
caused an immense increase in drill
ing, and in the production Of crude
oil. Beyond this, it made possible
the operation Of a great number of
old wells from which the oil must be
pumped at an expense which was
unremunerative under the old low
rates, but which became profitable at
the higher prices.
A two-day motor ride in the old oil
region of New York, Ohio, and
Pennsylvania will show what is
bringing the price down. New bor-
ings are to be seen everywhere.
Their contribution is small compared
with that from Western fields; but
in those fields the same increased &C.
tivity has been caused by the pros.
pect for profits.
Eleven-cent gasolene may never
return; but the 28-cent article will
not be with US again soon, either.

Newberry had hard battle with .
huge alligator In the road near Spring
Lake Park. in Houston county, and
finally succeeded In killing the monster:
The battle lasted nearly an hour. and
Newberry was almost exhausted when
he dealt the final BLOW that finished his
ferocious assailant. He carried the al

The beast was 81 feet long. ;"
Newberry encountered the alligator in
the public road when, headed for water
hole, and procuring a fence rail-. waded
some distance in the water to prevent
the brute's entrance.
Fight for possession OF the water hole
followed. Several times the alligator
charged the hole and tried desperately
to hold the fence rail In its teeth. New
berry was knocked down and his as
saiiant tried to crush him in Its laws,
but he regained his feet and the night
was resumed for possession OF the hole:
Finally the rail was so far 5abbed
