THE SOURCE OF HEALTH

The Chinese pay The doctor to keep them well,
a deduction being made from the fee if the patti
ent is i'll.
There is much to be said in favor of this idea,
or of any idea which sets up the prevention of
disease as q desirable proceeding rather than
elaborate methods of treatment after the harm
is done.
IL line with this more intelligent method of
Houston in recent address. ITO promote rural
health and sanitation, says the Secretary, san
effective survey should be made of the country
the sources of such diseases as typhoid fever
should be eradicated steps taken to control hook
worm and MOSQUITOES, districts be given the ad-
vantage Of modern hospitals nursing and spe-
cialized medical practice"
Effective sanitary surveys are generally too
little prosecuted. The removal Of the source of
any disease or epidemic is the only sane method
Of combating it.
We shall never be truly civilized until we
learn that preventable disease is synonymous
with disgrace, and points unerringiy to culpabe
neglect by the individual or (in case Of the com
monty recurrent epidemic) by the authorities
having the public health in charge. If health
authorities had the force and ability and were
given the power to prevent the frequent recur
renee Of typhoid, diphtheria scarlet fever, meas
les, WhO0ping cought, etc, all of which are un-
Guestionably preventable diseases they would be
better equipped by their own ability and expert
crce and by enlightened public sentiment and
legal facilities to cope with such difficult and un
usual ep;demics as that which is now ravaging
the country to such an extent as to make our
war mortality seem trivial.

GARY LOOKED AHEAD.

Democratic organs unctiOusly quote Judge
Gary, chairman Of the United States Steel Cor
rorati0n, to the effect that we may expect an
era of prosperity to follow now that the war is
over. But doubtless Mr Gary had in mind the
fact that the Republican party was again on
deck
AS far back as the middle of 1916 Mr.. Cary,
connecting on the wonderful prosperity which
had come to this country as the result Of enor-
nous sales abroad, warned us to prepare for
after-war conditions, q warning which the Dem
ocratic party utterly ignored, and which, by the
way, it IS not now quoting. owe should be pre-

San Francisco, Dec. 21.-The opah,
a fish which is common off the coasts
Of Japan and Hawaii, has been caugh
off the coast of California this year.
It's presence in these waters has been
exceedingly rare, according to W. F.

the Fish and Game Commission. 1t is
a brilliantly colored fish, pinkish blue,
with bright crimson fins and polka

Fishermen at the Catalina islands

Japan the fishermen say the dolphin
is sign of a poor year for fishing.
That is the case this year, since the

HOLLANDS PREDICAMENT.

Little Holland has occupied peculiar poS!-
tion throughout the war. While remaining neu-
trail she had to do about as Germany mas Salo oL
erc believed Germany would desire. For Just
across the border there have been always Ine
trenches of the Germans, soldiers hneQ up READY
+o uunish bv invasion any act OF hostility 10 leu
tonic cause or friendliness to the entente. %
HoIland kept her ships from sailing and trled TO
induce the Allies to permit supplies TO enter heI
r9vts so they might go on through to Germany,
rr release Dutch goods for German trade. 1haI
vas baked, though the baking never set we'll
with the Dutch.
More recently German soldiers passed
through Lenberg on the way home-presumaoly
with Hollands consent. Now Belgium, "nlch
he's set the world an example of how to adhere
to neutrality, demands recompense by ceSslon
Of the IeDlberg strip of territory to herself Ihat
II il inhabited largely by Belgians makes the de-
uaand seem all the more just. It's possession by
Relgiurn certainly would give that abused coun-
try a greater feeling Of security With regard 10
the German frontier.
But the worst revelation is that the reception
ard internment of the German emperor as
q fugitive was all an elaborate hoax on the part
of the Dutch authorities. 1t is now asserted
that a Dutch general was at the Spa before the
a7-n1jstice was signed and made arrangements
then for the flight of William HonenzoLern; tllaI
safe refuge was promised him and that When lie
anpeared at the border and sought entrance as
a
the eyes of the world.
This does not sound unlike German autoc-
racv methods, but it does sound a bit unreason-
able for Holland. That little country must have
perceived what the end, so close at hand, would
be- and should surely have ben influenced by
more prudent considerations. But the story IS
said to be well vouched for. Now comes the
crowning act, the proposal by Holland that she
will undertake disposition of the Hohenzollerns
SO that they need suffer no further "indignlty"
but still viii be out of any possibility of dong
further harm in the world. Holland would IN
tern the former kaiser on some island and guard
the retreat with fleet Of Warships. She would
go to this trouble and expense for the murderer
of Europe. The peculiar part is that there seems
TO be no good reason for her doing so. She has
nothing to gain, unless it be in the belief OF a
possible return to royalists to power in Germany,
when the new German power would again be
menace at her door.
If she yields to the eXtradition demands OF
the Allies it may be- Haond fears reaction IN
Germany that would work harm for herself. Or
the Allies it may be, Holland fears a reaction IN
see it's near neighbors, though for at least the
present thrown from the throne, submitted to
a trial by the people, no matter how wronged the
people may have BEEN
In any case, Holland should watch her step,
lest she incur the just suspicion and ennity Of
powers far greater than William HOheLzOllern
will ever be again.

THE SHERMAN LAW.

The Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, representing the nations business men,
has gone on record as opposed to the Sherman
antitrust law and desirouS Of removing it from
the statute books.
4 few years ago this would have been re-
garGed as reactiOnaTy move Now it is likely
that the majority Of thoughtful people agree
with the stand taken.
The war has opened peoples minds to the SUI
irene Va3ue.of cooperation and coordination in
Industry it was through organization and CEN
trGllz2d control Of Inc nations industries as a
whole, and OF each essential industry in particu-
Ia that the United States so quickly made its
resourC2s effective and won the war. War is
the supreme rest Of national efficiency but the
same principles apply in peace.
The Sherman law, argue business men, pen
allied size in business, without exception, re-
gardless Of the fact that most businesses can
operate more efficiently when large, and that
some business must, from their very nature, be
m3nOpOllStlc Il they are to operate satisfactorily
a good example Of the latter class is the tele-
graph and telephone business now under tenn
p0rary government control.
The Sherman law was intended to check great
abuses in the use OF economic power. 1t served
its purpose pretty well. But it was a crude
device. Il prescribed competition as a sort of
p82acea for industrial evils. Experience has
shown that competition, while a good thing in
general viii not cure everything, and in many
forms Of industry and commerce is wasteful and
costly.
1t is generally admitted now that the main
remedy for big business evils is public reguIa-
ton, The use Of this remedy has been growing
during the last few years. It's full development
IS AanPered, however, by the old law, which is
5tI. IN force, though modified by judicial inter
pretation. The nation plainly enough needs a
rev system, which will allow any business tC
grow to its natural dimensions, which will elimi
nate enforced competition where such competi
ton IS wasteful and crpplng and which viii
provide for governmental supervision or contro

MARKET OUOTA1|O Ms

New York, Dec. 21.-The chief fea-
ture of the cotton market at the
opening today was strong demand
for December cotton from spot
houses, which advanced it 81 points,
against 1 point decline to 5 points
advance in the later months. The
ginning figures were so close to the
general estimate as to be without eff
feet on sentiment.
Liverpool, like spot houses, bought
the near and sold the late months
Well Street interests traded both
ways. but seemed to have consider
able long cotton for sale, which
eventually depressed the market
about 12@18 points unler last nights
close.
The early decline carried January
and later deliveries about 5000
points under last nights closing fig
ures. Except for realizing and
little Southern hedging, there
seemed to be no pressure of conse-
ouence aginst prices, however, and
the market firmed up during the
middle of the morning, going back to
Just about last nights closing fig
ures. Reports that twenty steamers
are expected at Galveston for cotton
were circulating on the rally.
The early afternoon advance ex-
tended to 35@4O points net higher.
with later reactions of 5 or,6 points
from the best. but the market was
steady around the close on continued
trade buying.

Mr.. Tafts support of the Presidents deci-

10 his patriotism and ar-mindedness. He might,
after the example Of other Republican leaders,
have voiced prtisan ops ;@n to the break

advantages to be gained and indorSes the Pres-

"ssa1nD upon it democratic character" and aid
in "aliaying unrest among the peoples of the

As the originator of the suggestion of a

under President Wilson'S personal advocacy at
