A Method to Attain an End

President Stone of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Engineers told delegates to the recent con-
vention of the United Mine Workers that pro-
nounced political action is the best means to be
used by labor in obtaining improved conditions
and enforcing its demands.
His advice is timely and comes at a time when
radicals are advocating all kinds of revolution
airy methods to obtain their ends. Sudden and
violent means will never be effective. The col
lapse of the police strike in Boston corroborates
the point. The fathers of our republic provided
a wise method to obtain remedial legislation
The ballot box.
1t is the only method that>will assure stable
progress. It permits the eradication of griev
ances and the removal of unjust and unfair con-
ditions. Decisions made by the people in an
election rest on a solid basis-the popular will.
By this method, neither the capitalist nor the
worker is at disadvantage And the express
sion of the majority can be relied upon as being
the opinion of the people as whole and not of
a class.
In all the excitement and unrest of the last
two months, the American people, judged a
whole, have maintained a conservative adher-
ence to the principles of government upon which
our national success is founded. In the last an
alysis after due cognizance> has been taken Of
the scope and depth of the unrest, few exceeding
j. radical uprisings have marked the course of
the reimbursement period. And as the progress of
reconstruction goes on day by day, earnest voices
advocating evolutionary instead of revolutionary
methods are being heard from both camps in in
creasingly larger numbers.
Events in Great Britain show the same
course. The British Trade Union Congress de-
feated the resolution advocating ''direct action
the policy to obtain by strikes and general
paralysis of industry what labor believes is its
Just due. Balanced judgment was shown by
British, labor when this issue came before it.
Ths British workers are far too wise to espouse
a course involving a threat against a popular
form of government They realized that it
would have modified against the trade union
movement all parties and classes of England and
would have set back for decades the movement
which their leaders have built up with sacrifice
and work. They saw that paramount to what
they believed was their rights is the maintenance
Of British institutions.

City officials, state and city boards of health,
should be prepared in the event of recurrence.
The fact that previous attack brings i'm
munity in certain percentage of cases should
alay fear the part of those afflicted in the
previous epidemic.
Influenza is spread by direct and indirect
contact.
1t is not yet certain that the germ has been
isolated or discovered, and as consequence there
is yet no positive preventive, except the enforce
ment of rigid rules of sanitation and the avoid
ance of personal contact.
A close relation between the influenza pan
denic and the constantly increasing pneumonia
mortality rate prior to the fall of 1918 is recog-
nized It is now believed that the disease was
pretty widely disseminated throughout the
country before it was recognized in its epidemic
state This failure to recognize the early cases
appears to have largely been due to the fact that
every interest was then centered on the war.

A Remarkable Tribute

Oyster Bay is not the easiest place in the
world to get to. Travelling by rail, it is at the
end of devious branch line. By motor, it is off
the beaten path, far from the main roads which
lead to and from the popular places of Long
Island
And yet we read that every Sunday Ameri-
cans go, not by hundreds but by thousands, to
Sycamore Hill to see the place where a man has
lain in his grave since last January. These are
not special occasions. There nothing in the
way of speech a ceremony to attract the
1900 pilgrims who went in the pitiless heat of
last Sunday.
Sometimes it has seemed if Americans
were people careless of great memories; and
then something without plan, something spon-
taneously rising from the depths of the real
national heart, occurs and proves that the appar-
ent forgetfulness is only mask. In this case
the something is the professions up the distant
hill of grateful men and women to whom Theo-
dore Roosevelt was the ideal American-NeW
York Sun.

The Influenza Epidemic

The United States Public Health Service has
issued an authoritative statement regarding the
possibility of an influenza epidemic this winter.
While it admits the possibility, the promise is
held out that if proper preventive measures are
adopted early and if individuals will take proper
of themselves the first symptoms
appear, the malady be held in check.
The text of the statement follows:
Probably, but by no means certainly, there
will be a recurrence of the influenza epidemic
this year.
Indications are that should it occur it will
not be as severe as the pandenlic Of the previous
winter.
