For Universal Training.

Rather suddenly. to put II the way
members expressed 1t, demand
seems to have swept over a large
part of the country for enactment of
some kind of universal military
training law. Senator Chamberlain,
author of the proposal, appears to
have been surprised at the support
which has suddenly become manifest
for this legislation. He has had to
grant that while he had much en-
cuuragement before. when he offered
this legislation, there was consider
able opposition to it. Now there
seems to be great support and little
opposition.
The probability, Is however. that
Congress will deliberate extensively
upon the legislation before finally
passing it.
The legislation is important-and 1t
may be lasting in this nation for
many generations to come. On that
account the members, many of whom
are outspoken in their desire to help
pass such legislation. believe that it
should be drawn in such ways that
it will be capable of eliciting popular
approval long after the war is over,
and when our patriotism may not be
so easily displayed as at this time.
AS with much other legislation, the
Presidential recommendations on this
feature of military preparation will
have potent hearing on final
action. Congress appears to be will
ing to do anything the President asks
and not willing to take any unusual
step which he does not recommend.
The Export Trade Bill.
The export trade bill is the unfin-
ished business which the Senate finds
before it upon return from the re-
cess.
The measure passed the House last
session and will likely come out of
the Senate for Executive approval
before the commencement of the
Christmas vacation.
The big feature with which the
body has to tussle has to do with
fabricating the law so that the Sher-
man antitrust act principle will gov
ern our foreign trade promoters, but
not to the extent that 1t sets UP bars
to the successful development Of the
trade. The Senate Committee on In
terstate Commerce. before which the
measure was carefully considered be-
fore adjournment of the late war ses-
sion. gave this phase much attention.
Limitations which the bill should
impose upon associations formed for
the purpose of promoting foreign
trade are these. according to the Sem
ate committee:
"(a) The authority hereby conferred
should not result in the restraint OF
trade with the United States, which
is clearly prohibited by the Sherman
law.
"(b) While the purpose Of the bill
Is to increase our foreign trade II
should not result in destroying the
business of other companies, associa-
tions. or individuals who may be en-
gagged in the foreign trade. The pur-
pose is to increase and improve this
trade, not to injure 1t.
"(c) While we realize that any sales

!, LOCAL COMMENT

The city election has passed into
history. and the members of the new
council, elected this week, will be
sworn into office next Monday. Re-
CARELESS of whether or not the people
of this city are satisfied over the re-
suit, 1t is to be hoped that all will join
In lending helping hand to the new
council and assist In every way to
create an efficient and business like
administration The new officers are
entitled to the confidence of the people
Of the city until they may show them
selves unworthy Of that confidence. 1t
Is an unenviable position for any pub
lie servant who does not have the sup
port Of the people, and 1t is up to the
office holder to merit that support.
&
The new council will have within its
power the appointment Of certain city
officers. Right here is where the new
office holders may demonstrate wheth-
er or not they want the confidence OF
the people. If these offices are to be
filled solely in order to pay political
debts rather than on a question OF
qualification of the appointee, the
council Is going to make bad start
The question of sympathy should not
enter into public appointments, but
rather the question Of merit. The pub
lie is not interested in paying for SER
vice when service Is not rendered. It
wants efficiency, and men in appoin-
tive offices who are capable.
&
Among the important offices within
the gift of the council Is that Of city
health physician. The public health
Of community is too often neglected
until some epidemic becomes apparent
The outgoing council has paid but lit
tie or no attention to health matters
as board of health. There have been
practically no meetings of the council
as a board of health to consider health
matters for two years or more, and no
effort of the city physician to get
meetings held was successful. The i'm
portance of having competent ply
sician is likely to be overlooked. DR..
Lerle, who retires with the close of
this fiscal year, has looked after health
matters to the neglect Of his personal
practice. During the diphtheria epi-
Gemic of a year ago last winter his
aggressiveness resulted in stamping

Another safety device has been in.
stalled on the South Third avenue via
duct, which makes one more safeguard
against accidents as teams and auto
mobiles come down the incline and
pass over the railroad tracks.
The Chicago Great Western has put
up large sign on top of one of the
viaduct supports, at the north end OF
the overhead bridge. The sign faces
south, and can be seen plainly by every
one crossing the viaduct just as they
start down the incline which ends at
the Great Western tracks. The sign
says Danger, Railroad Crossing. Stop
Look, Listen" Electric lights have
been placed above the sign, SO that it
is illuminated at night.
Only extreme carelessness can be re-
sponsible for an accident on the via
duct now. A fiagman guards the cross
ing night and day, and at the approach
of every train or switch engine lowers
the gates, and stands in the middle of
the crossing with q large sign on which
is painted the word "Stop." In addi-
ton to this q bell rings automatically

The manufacturing methods applied in
