GOING AT 1T RIGHT

Attorney Geenral Palmer is man
of ability with a large amount Of
sound common sense. He is demon
strating that quality again in his
handling of the high cost Of living
crusade.
The attorney general is not going
at this matter in a sensational way,
or as if he expected to accomplish
the whole task at hand in day, but
he Is proceeding in definite way,
with fixed purpose. and he Is going
to accomplish results He realizes that
there are certain economic laws that
cannot be abolished at will. and he
realizes that this fight on living costs
is going to require some time and
considerable patience. In speaking
Of the matter. he said the other day.

BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT
DESTROYED BY SLAVS

Sarajevo, Bosnia, July 10.-(By
MaiD The Slavs have torn down the
beautiful monument of granite and
bronze which the Austrians erected
to the memories of Archduke Franz
Ferdinand and his wife, Sophia, Ouch
ess of Hohenberg, which stood at
corner of the bridge here where their
ASA ssination by Prinzip furnished the
spark that set off the world war. 1t
bore a bronze plaque showing the
figures of both Ferdinand and Sophia.
Now that Bosnia-Herzegovi has
passed from the rule of Austria and
become a part of the kingdom of
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the parts
of the monument have been stored in
the museum of Sarajevo. When the
curator has time they will be assem-
bled for the edification of the students
Of history and to satisfy the curiosity
of sight seers.
Sarajevo seems almost to have for
gotten the bomb-throwing and is we'll

charge come forward with the best re-
port for the past month yet achieved
in this work, which has shown steady
progress, says a bulletin of the Board
of Health. which continues: A total
of 14,502 people were vaccinated IN
the campaign against typhoid FEVER
and in the same period total OF 9b9
sanitary closets were built. these be-
ing for the most part in the rural sec
tons of the counties. These two items
are merely the high spots in the work
accomplished.
The educational work along health
lines in these counties are summed
in the following statistics: 113 public
meetings held; attendance upon these
meetings, 11.4S5; letters sent out, p
S57; newspaper articles on public
health matters published. 157
Hardly second to the good accomp-
lished in the fight against typhoid
fever and allied disease thru the
means of vaccination and sanitation
was the record of the life extension
unit Of the work. A total of oo9
persons applied for examinations dur
ing the month. This is urged primar-
lily as a preventive measure in order
to ascertain defects or diseases IN
incipiency, and afford knowledge by
which they may be checked.
The results attained thru emerge
tic health measures are graphically
shown in the report of communicable
disease for the month. While the
counties in question are among the
most populous in the state, yet the
incidence of preyentable diseases was
extremely low as compared with 9TH
er counties where such work had not
been done. Here are the figures: ty-
phoid fever rs. diphtheria 8, whoop-
ing cough 1874. scarlet fever s, meas
les, 4, smallpox "a; total 252.
The counties included in the report
are Rowan, Davidson. Forsyth. Pitt,
Robson, Wilson. Northampton, Le-
noir, Nash.
Public health work along scien-
tific lines has passed the experiment
tai stage. 1t is not a luxury. 1t has
passed into the realm of the neces-
stiles. Every county in North Caro-
lima, and every city and town as we'll,
should undertake such work. The
results achieved by the communities
that have taken the step show that

A WORK THAT PAYS

1t is being demonstrated all the
time that money invested in intelli-
gent, scientific public health work
pays large dividends in community
sense. The counties and the cities
that are on the whole-time health Of
ficer basis are getting results that are
out of proportion to the outlay involv-

The State Board of Health Is car
rying on notable work along various
lines In the interest Of the public

cooperating fully in this work. and
reports of the things being accomp-
lished are indeed gratifying.

America has not been accustomed
to war. but. when the necessity for
war arose in connection with the
world conflict. this nation went at
the task in a determined business-like
way. And. in spite of our lack Of ex-
perience in armed conflict we did
some things so well that European
commissions are now studying just
how we did them.
Take the matter of housing prob
lens. for instance. This was hand

some of our war industry projects

tects and engineers is now in this
country getting points that will be of
value in the restoration of devastated

under the caption, "Unyielding OBJ
struction:"
.'Tha President never appeared TO
better advantage than in the long
conference with the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee on the Treaty; the
Republican obstructionists never ap-
peared to worse advantage than in
the attitude they have taken since
the conference. The matter before
the White House conference was OF
unequaled magnitude, of very great
complexity. Under the questioning
Of the Senators the President showed
complete mastery of the subject. He
was at all points fortified with his
knowledge, and at all points he met
his inquisitors with clear and llluml-
mating answers. He was seeking no
triumph, only to give information,
vet for him it was a day of extra
ordinary triumph. The fullness ana
the frankness of his answers, the
character of his statements, would
have removed doubt from every open
mind. He not only made out case
for ratification, he demonstrated the
need Of immediate ratification.
THE obstructionists show by their
behavior that their minds were shut
to all proofs and demonstration. The
Foreign Relations Committee, which
Mr.. Taft declared was packed against
the Treaty, remains packed and I'M
der the blazing light or reason re-
mains perfectly opaque. Retiring
from the conference, the Republican
Senators instantly began to reorgan-
lie their party forces against the
President, for it is against woodrow
Wilson, not against the Treaty, that
their assault is directed. They have
wheedled or browbeaten the mild
reservationists" into line, and now
declare that nothing will satisfy them
but reservations that actually amend
the text of the Treaty. They know
the consequences, the country knows
them. Amended, the Treaty must be
resubmitted to the other signatory
Powers for their acceptance or rejec-
ton OF the Senate's changes. That
opens the door to amendment by
every nation that took part in the
Paris Council. There would be
multitude of amendments, insomuch
that the Treaty would be destroyed
and the League with it. Both would
be made unacceptable to the nations
that came to agreement on June 20,
the Peace Conference would have to
reconvene or a new one be sum-
moned, and the dreary process of
drafting a treaty gone through with
again, but this time In circumstances
of immensely greater difficulty and
with far less probability Of a salts
factory conclusion"
The above leaves little to be said.
The adoption of the reservations be.
ing proposed for the treaty would re-
open the whole question of peace.
Much that has already been done
would be undone. And the Presi-
dent has shown conclusively, it
seems to us, that not one Of the re-
servations is needed.
But it is too much to expect that
Senator Lodge and other 'unyield-
ter in this light Any effort to con-
vince him and Senator Borah on the
subject of the League of Nations
seems to be utterly useless.
