Banzai! The Revolution! Hail!

The editor of The Bee has just dropped into
the waste basket letter, prettily typed, and
signed in typewriter characters, in which the
writer halls the strike of the miners as the sign
Of an awakened working class. He sees, to
quote his closing phrase, "the down of the bene-
fcent revolution in all its glorious splendor."
All right, let's revolt and revolve and reso-
lutte, and do anything else but work. Exercising
the mighty power that resides in the masses, let
US usher in the day when there will be no more
want and no more wealth, and no more toll;
when the proletarian will rise up at the voice
of the bird" and continue till the going down
of the sun in one unbroken course of idleness,
loafng the clock around, blissfully Indifferent
as to the passage of time, for even to think re-
quires an effort and the expenditure of energy,
and there must be nothing of that sort in the
new world
To be sure, somebody will have to do some
thing, or the rest will go hungry. 1t may be
that some coal will have to be dug, or there
will be no power to drive the merry -go-rounds
and light the movies, which the emancipated
laboring man will require as adjuncts to his
comfort. Who will do these menia1 tasks is a
detail yet to be determined.
If any work is to be done. however, it will
be on the basis of the doctrine laid down by
Victor Berger few years ago, when he set
about to improve on Marx. According to
Berger the workers pay should be sufficient
to purchase at the end of each days work all
he produced that day. Capital should have no
return whatever This is improved to some
degree by the more modern devotees of the
cult, who propose that we consume each day
all that we produce, starting each morning
fresh to bring forth our breakfast before we
eat it.
But this means work, and the revolution is
to do away with work.

In the Matter Of Measles.

While the serious aspect Of
measles is recognized by doctors,
most people do not regard the dis
ease with the fear it should carry
1t is dangerous, and is preventable.
The popular conception of measles
as almost necessary and little
harmful ailment Of children is
wrong; it may be accompanied by
or followed by grave danger, and it
is no more needful to the welfare
Of the child than is smallpox or
tuberculosis. The school authorities
have been aware of this for q long
time and have done a great deal to
head off epidemics, yet they have
not always had the hearty co-opera-
ton of the home in this work.
How gravely the problem is taken
abroad may be gained from the fol-
lowing, contributed to the London
Times by its medical correspondents:
The campaign against infectious
disease in this country Is Of such
great Importance that all those who
are interesting themselves in it will
welcome the publication of the lat
est statistics of the incidence of no.
tifiable diseases in each sanitary dis
trict in England and Wales. New
Series, No. 1874, year 1879
These statistics serve to show the
magnitude Of the problem with
which we are faced. For it must
never be forgotten that infectious
diseases, such as measles and scar
let fever, are the starting points of
innumerable other ailments. They
that they kill, in process of time,
many adults also-and that, too
often, at the most productive period
Of life.
Measles and German measles cas-
lily head the list, with 414,346 noti-
tications, or rate Of 1898 per 1000
of the entire population. This fig
ure can only be regarded as shock
ing when we remember that measles
is preventable disease, and that 1t
kills children as no other malady
kills them. Next to measles we have
tuberculosis, with the huge figure of
72,741 for lung tuberculosis (con-
sumption) and 1881 for other
forms, a total of 92,132. This, again,
is a dreadful figure, and should
arouse most widespread anxiety and
inspire to action. on every hand.
Scarlet fever is next with 48,180;
diphtheria follows closely on this
hgure, 43,713. After these the num-
bers are more reasonable, though
erysipelas has 12,463 and puerperal
fever 1905. Plague, which Is so
greatly dreaded, has but seven cases,
cerebro-spinal meningitis but 1898.
These figures are exclusive Of SOL
diers and sailors. They do not show
a marked difference on the figures
for last year, though pulmonary
tuberculosis IL down by about 1000
notifications. London had 1926 Of
the pulmonary tuberculosis notifica-
tions, Lancashire had 1922, the West
Riding of Yorkshire 2,034, Middle
sex apis.
AS showing the possible continuity
OF evil effect from infections, 1t may
be recalled that during a recent ex-
animation Of 81 apparently strong
young men, it was found that II
showed some signs pointing to the
presence of disease. OF these six
had had scarlet fever, one typhoid
fever one diphtheria. two suffered
from rheumatism" one from tuber-
cular glands, one from the effects
of rickets. In no case where the
symptoms referred to were absent
had there been a history Of irfecti-
Gus disease except measles.

American Legion's Alien Stacker Drive


Energetically moving to realization of its
conception of worthy Americanisnl, the Ameri-
can Legion is pressing an anti-aen Stacker
drive. These men are located by examination
of draft questonnaires. Almost 1000 are now
listed by the Legion for expulsion from the
country They are men of draft age who had
filed declaration of intention to become citi-
zens, but who refused to fight, either for Amer
lea or for their own land. To them the Legion
holds out no welcome, standing on the PROPOSE
ton that land worth living in is worth fighting
for, and that man who will not fight for
American institutions has no right to enjoy
them in any form or sense. Classification by
nationality reveals the fact that the Swedes
are the most numerous in the list, although the
neutral nations are all represented. Nebraska
is credited with a few, and the officers of the
Legion propose to carry on their fight for thor
ough and complete Americanzation here as
elsewhere in the country.

Our forefather may have come
From France or Italy,

And countries cross the sea;
But in this great free country
Well welcome any man
Who'll take the oath that he VIII be
A true American.
No hypenated name we want
In this our own United States.
No other flag we'll fight for
Should enemy agrees:
And In this land OF plenty
There's freedom for every man.
Who proves his loyalty to be
A true American.
No Dutch or Slavo-American
But plain United States.
And protection will be given
To all who emigrates,
But foe or traitor In our land.
On him we'll put ban.
And want only in our country
A true American.
