Casing the Health Department

Charges of petty graft on the part OF
two or more thirty-dollar inspectors i'll
the Health Departments Bureau of Food
and Drugs are irrelevant They are
flank distraction. The Hy1an offensive
is against the Health Department, which
as at present constituted is a growth of
many years. Beginning with the period of
Dr. Lederle and DR.. Darlington, an or
ganization of scientists has been built
up, men and women who have renounced
the rewards of private practice to give
their special qualifications and devoted
service to the public. AS a result New
York City has long stood at the head of
the nation as an example of what could
be done to prevent and combat disease.
Its methods have been copied far and
wide. Its low death rate has been
a goal toward which other municipali-
ties have struggled. It's child hygiene
bureau, it's campaign of disease pre-
vention by education, it's maintenance
of milk standards, it's foodstuffs inspec-
ton, have been the inspiration of other
communities. Long before the nation
took up the campaign against tubercu-
g losis the Health Department here was
warning Systematically against the
"white plague"
The work of the bureau of child hy-
giene, under DR.. S. Josephine Baker, is
typical of the accomplishments of the
special bureaus now assailed This bu-
hoc oF
in schools, of the infant milk stations
throughout the city, Of midwives, day
nurseries and infants put out to board.
DR.. Baker entered the service of the
public about eighteen years ago. When
her bureau was established and she was
put in charge there were no precedents
and few theories to guide her in her
task, which was chiefly that of reducing
the tremendous number of deaths of
babies. She struck out on new lines.
Instead of waiting until an infant be-
came sick and thus came to the notice
of the Health Department through some
clinic or hospital, she followed up the
birth certificates and instructed the
mothers in the care of their infants.
From that, her own idea, gradually de-
veloped the organization of her bureau,
which has reduced infant mortality in
this city to an extremely low figure.
And the idea has been copied by every
community which makes any pretence
to enlightened care of it's citizens.
The Enquiry" an affair conducted
behind closed doors, Of which even
Mayor Hylan's Health Commissioner
washed his hands, purports to be in
search of information regarding the le-
gality of the establishment of these bu-
reaus. If that were the whole case.
civic and medical societies which are
now up in arms over it would not have
cause for the alarm they manifest
What they fear is a political tearing
down of the splendid structure built
up through the weary years of effort.

(Fro1n The Yillagey.)


THERE is great deal of talk in these
days about revolution, that is, some
Il sort of Socialist overturn in Amer
ics is property to rule in Amer
lea; is capital to dominate both political
and industrial institutions; is the worker
to be pushed to the wall, the 'proletariat
ground down into helpless poverty?
In the half century that is behind US
these questions have been answered, and in
the answering have, in our opinion, brought
about the revolution which men to-day are
discussing as if it were yet to be. There
may be somewhere in the dcep-hidden nat
ure of this people the germs of an upset
ting No one can know that. But the only
revolution we can identify has been already
accomplished; the only overturnng about
which any considerable body of opinion has
been and is artculate has already taken
place.
little reflection on the swiftness with
which everything new in our development
blots out all that went before will help
toward the attitude Of mind needful to
realize what q complete change has taken
place in America in regard to wealth and
property But a few days have passed
since all of US, including the experts"
were saying that the shell which had been
propelled seventy miles could exist only in
the mind of an hysterical city; now we can
scarcely remember when guns did not shoot
so far. There are whole libraries to our
immediate point, but merely to suggest
departure for co0rdnating the present with
the past, we choose at random this passage
from an address on the labor question de-
livered by Wendell Phillips in 1872. "Take
a power" said Mr.. Phillips, "like the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad and the New York
Central Railroad, and there is no legisla-
tive power that can exist in its sight. AS
we'll expect green vine to flourish in a
dark cellar to expect honesty to exist
under the shadow of those upas trees
We have thirtyeight one-horse
legislatures in this country; and we have
got man like Tom Scott with three hun
dred and fifty million dollars in his hands;
and If he walks through the state they
have no power. Why, he need not move at
all! If he smokes as Grant does, puff of
the waste smoke out of his mouth upsets
the Legislature!''

and there was even some hostility to
the board on the Democratic side on
this account.
The great present opportunity of the
Republican party is not political. 1t is

Blessed and Meek

To-day corporate wealth pleads where
formerly it could command To-day it
comes meek and with barred head where be
fore it blew ruffs of waste smoke from
perfectos into the face of the exploited
public. Very nearly every vestige of po-
litica power has been wrested from it, and
industrial power has long since passed from
the few to the many. The individual multi
millionaire is bound hand and foot; his
huge accumulatons afford him no privileges
beyond those permitted to modest means,
excepting the privileges of philanthropy
"What good is money any more?" said a
wealthy recently. Gall one can do is
to give it away or trade it for fine pict-
ures!' The mere possession of wealth is
oftener than not bar to political prefer
ment. In New York City there has been
the example, for instance, of Mr.. George W.
Perkins, worthy man; another case, some
what more complicated, is that of Mr.. Sam
uel Untermyer. In the Civil War period
the rich mans son could buy his exemption;
the young meat packer of Chicago, making
every effort to escape service to-day even
to the extent of "accepting' one of those
dollar-a-year positions in Washington, is
finally jammed into the 1 A class of the
draft
American democracy revolted against the
power of wealth and came out victorious
Much of the result has yet to be made into
terms of the statute books and more of it
will be indicated progressively, but in these
matters public opinion is weightier than the
law. The revolution, that revolution which
grew out of an instructive fear of the power
of wealth, has taken place, and what men
to-day are regarding as symptoms of i'm
pending change the evidences of the
overthrow which occurred some time since.
Envy Suruiving
But fear of wealth is very different from
envy of wealth. To confne the power of
property in its proper limits, to clip the
overweening wings of capital is one thing:
to redistribute the community's accumu-
lated goods another. We do not believe
that the ambition for an equality of dis
tribution will ever find it's place in the
American temper There is too much
Yankee observation-disclosures in our heritage for
us ever to be swept into the heady idcalism
which to-day rrostrates that which was
once the Russian Empire. A sense of even
handed justice is American enough, but
equality in the Continental fashion is
wholly foreign to us, and it is this distinc-
ton which the American endeavors to ex-
press when he protests that while he be-
ileves in socialization he is not Socialist.

There is nothing definite yet to be

FEAR HUN BOLSHEVIKS

London, Nov. IA tote Of deep
anxiety lest the situation in Germany
degenerate into B~olshevism, is struck
by all the editorials in the London
newspapers today. The continued
absence of information which would
tend to throw further light on the
f~ragmentary one-sided knowledge of
the actual social and administrative
situation in Germany. prevents the
formation of absolutely conclusive
views here.
President Wilson's 'timely COUNSEL"
is hailed with unanimous editorial
approval, and his warning that hun
ger leads to madness is quoted as
touching a vital chord. 1t is admit
ted by newspapers of all shades of
political opinion that Germany must
be fed, if only as a business PROPOSE
ton, inasmuch as if she starved to
death she could not pay what she
owes. -.

Ibsen Plays Will Be Put on Screen.

ibsen is soon to be transferred to the screen. His famous "A Dolls House" is being produced by Art craft with Elsie Ferguson in the title role. This classic of the dra- ma is probably the most popular of the lbsen works, and has been staged more often than any of his other works save Ghosts" It had it's premier in 1889 at the Novelty theatre, London, and it's success led to it's presentation in all the prin- cipal cities of Europe. In New York, it was presented in 1898 by the Mansfield Company of players and in 1901 Mrs. F'iske selected it as the play for her starring vehicle at the Manhattan theatre.
 The leading role of "A Dolls House." will give Miss Ferguson an excellent opportunity for her to display her latent talents, and it is not to be doubted that it will add wonderfully to her rapidly growing screen popularity. Maurice Tourn- eur, who recently finished Maeter- linck's "The Blue Bird" for Art craft, will direct this picture, and as he is the acknowledged master of artistic productions, today, this work is looked forward to with keenest delight
