Numbers of bacteria, only surpris-
ingly small number of epidemics
have been charged to infected ice
and a careful examination of the re-
ports leaves upon the student the
impression that the dangers of pol
luted ice have probably been exag-
gerated.
Briefly stated, the more import
ant facts regarding ice as a vehicle
of infectious disease appear to be as
follows: While it is true that
some individual bacteria survive ex-
posture to freezing, and even very
low temperatures, such conditions
are highly unfavorable to bacteria
in general, even of the same kind

especially if the exposure be pro-
longed.
Out of a number of individual
bacteria of any kind subjected to
freezing, a large proportion usually
perish, especially if they contcinue
to be exposed to the low temperature
for two or three weeks, but small
proportion survive. There is a good
reason to believe that the virulence
of the survivors is weakened by this
exposure to low temperatures.
Ice for table use should always
be handled in a clearly fashion. It
is well to rinse off the cake of ice
before putting it into the refrigera-
tor, and, of course, it should be rims
ed before being used in drinking wa
ter. Still better than introducing ice
directly into the drinking water is
the use of water which has been cool
ed by ice kept in separate contain
err.
As a cooling drink in summer il
is well to drink iced water in small
sips, and not overload the system
with enormous quantities of water
taken, in large draughts.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-Pres.
Wilson already is beginning to wind
up affairs at the White House prep
aratory to vacating March 4 next.
His first step in getting ready to
yield possession of the executive
mansion was an order that his AZ
sheep, which has become familiar
sight on the spacious lawn of the
White House, should be sold.
No use carrying them through an
other winter, it has been decided,
involving the purchase of feed and
the hire of a caretaker, for before
the succulent grass of another spring
is high enough to crop someone else
will be president and the newcomer
may not have either time or inclina-
ton to bother with sheep.
The presidents patriotic venture
in sheep-raising, taken as a stimulus
to wool and meat production during
the war, has been most successful.
The herd has increased in numbers
from IS to 49, The 1918 crop of wool
alone, donated by the president to
the Red Cross, brought that organi-
zation more than $4,000.
President Wilson, however, is not
alone in beginning plans for a
change of residence next March.

to what it was in 1920 as above re-
ported. One gentleman who address
ed the United Peanut Association
at Norfolk, Va, July 13, who had
spent seven years in China stated
that there are thousands of acres
in China, uncultivated that can be
brought into use if they can find a
market for peanuts, and vegetable
oils. And they have millions of peo-
pie who would be anxious to take
up the cultivation of these idle acres.

Scores and hundreds of men high
in official circles are giving less and
less thought to the problems ahead
of them in their governmental jobs
and more and more thought to what
they are going to do when the ad-
ministration changes.
Many of these will not wait until
March A to make a change. Knowing
that even though a Democratic pres
ident may be elected the
newcomer will fill the offices
closest to him with men of his own
choosing and not carry-overs from
the present administration, these al

They return either to already es-

side or to cast about of some new
connection.
Even many men who are ostensibyl
protected by being under civil serv-
ice are preparing to look elsewhere
for jobs, as they say that civil serv-
ice regulations become mighty elias

positions, when subjected to the heat
and pressure of changing admin
stration.

,nONT blame your oil mill for the
- low price being paid this season
for cotton seed. Get at the root of
the evil-the importations of vege-
table oils from the Orient. Your
local mill can not pay you a price
above that which is justified, taking
into consideration the value of his
finished product.
This finished product, whether 1t
be cottonseed oil, or peanut oil, must
go on the domestic market in compe-
tition with the vegetable oils import
ed from China and Japan. And dur
ing the twelve months ended June
3Qth, 1920, there has been imported
into this country 84,000,000 pounds
of peanut oil. During the same pc
riod approximately 450,000,0OO
pounds of soy bean oil. While cot
| tonseed oil was the lowest of all
three, about 100000 pounds.
Now you must consider that tie
uses of these three oils come in COM
petition with each other, i. e., they
are Interchangeable in the manufac-
ture of most all of the products, and
one can be substituted for the
other. So if the total of the three
| is combined we have five and one
half million pounds of vegetable oils
on the market, in competition with
domestic peanut and cottonseed oil

fact that our markets have been de-

ltaly's Experiment

The exact meaning OF the action
at the joint convention of socialist
and radical laborite organizations Of
Italy is obscure. But it is to be
gathered that while unwilling at this
time to swallow Leninism at one
gulp the convention shuts no door
to it.
Instead Of an attempt to over
throw the capitalist system at once,
the Italian radicals, as a matter of
tactics, declare for a sapping siege.

Whatever party you belong to get
out to-day and vote in the primaries.
The exciting contests are few,
but get the primary habit. Next to
the organized nation, party is the
biggest thing in our political life.
In many respects it is our principal
governing agency, and it's business
should always be a matter Of init.
mate concern.
In the big cities has been de-
veloped a popular Indifference to
party management which gives the
boss and machine their business.

become chronic and it will take a.
long time to shake it off. The di.

til it Is the practice sof citizens no
more to miss the polls on Primary

be little enduring political health.

is going to take up the question of Ire
lands freedom, if he is elected. What
ever benefit such a statement will be to
the honorable Governor as 'vote
catcher" will, l am sure, be more than
Offset by contrary influence in tho
minds of intelligent voters who can see
the folly of such promises.
The Irish question is one that is not
for settlement by the first minister of
the United States. Any person familiar
with the real facts knows that the Irish
question Is one that is sadly misrepre-
sented in most of the press references
to it.
Ireland has had her grievances, any
fair-minded person will admit, but any
real grievances are very much ancient
history. 1t seems to me it would be
just as logical for the negro to nurse
hatred for the United States because
this country had illegal slavery" in the
past. Ireland is not composed entirely
of Sinn Feiners, as the average press
report would lead one to imply The
prosperous, industrial and thrifty North
is also Irish. I come of some of the
much despised stock of the Black North,
as the people who are numbering the
Irish police call it. My great-grand-
father was Irish, as was my father but,
according to the Irish republicans, they
were not Irish at all, because they came
from the North. Surely, an American
born in California is just as American
as one born in New York State.
merely mention these facts because
the implication is that the part of Ire
land which is content to stay with the
British Empire, and thereby be free
from the domination of religious and
fanatical creeds with which they have
nothing in common, is referred to as
negligible quantity. ! think it would be
a good idea for Governor Cox, as q
prospective statesman in international
politics, to cultivate slant on the Irish
question that would SAVIOR a little more
OF the statesman's point Of view, and
leave the settlement, or promises Of
settlement, to the yellow press that
constantly expresses a confidence In
their ability to handle it.

The Judicial Primary.

Last year Justice Newburger,
turned down for denomination by
Tammany Hall, was reelected in
the list judicial District, ordinarily
strongly Democratic, by plurality
Of 1925. The voters rose to the
opportunity Of rebuking Boss Muir
phys attempt to shelve q Judge with
q good record In order to utilize a
Supreme Court judgeship as a
piece OF Tammany patronage.
Politicians forget quickly. In the
I'd judicial District the Livingston
organization. Is trying to do exactly
what Mr.. Murphy did, only it is
seeking TO deny denominations to
three justices instead Of one. Jus
tiees Aspinall, Jaycox and Clark,
Republicans, and Townsend Scudder,
Democrat, are up for reelection.
Their records entitle them 10 q con-
finuance In office. They have the
Endorsement Of the Brooklyn Bar
Association. But Mr.. Livingston is

aware that the Magyars are plan

against the weakest of their neigh
bors, German Austria, as the first
item in their program Of reconquest.
The Rumanian attitude is sum-
married. in a statement Of the For
eign Minister, Take Jonesco, pub
lished in the Paris Excelsior. De-
claring that Rumania would not con-
slider proposals to cede Rumanian
territory to Hungary, Mr.. Jonesco
voiced the sentiment of his nation
in terms conspicuous by their firm
ness. "The thing that is most
troubling the European political sit
uation at present." he said, "is that
there is tendency to forget the
origins of the war. I do not
ask that we should go on making
war forever, after having signed
peace, but I have not the least de-
sire to play the part of a dupe."
That is blunt speech. 1t comes
from man whose loyalty to the
Allies was fully tested and who at
the same time is one of the most con-
sistent workers for peace and re-
construction in southeast Europe.
Under his guidance Rumania has
shown spirit Of reconciliation to-
ward Bulgaria; he has repeatedly
indicated that the Rumanian gov
errment is not averse to friendly
agreement with a democratic and
regenerate Hungary. Way back in
the 'o0s Jonesco sponsored a Balkan
federation as the best guarantee of
peace in southeastern Europe. He
worked for that idea in 1911-'12; he
works for it to-day.
The Little Entente" may be the
nucleus of this federation of south
eastern Europe. That is it's deeper
significance. But as far as the
exigencies Of the moment are con-
cerned, the agreement of the three
Danubian powers serves chiefly as a
danger signal intended to avert con-
sequences that French Hungarian al
lance would imply.

Sir: 1t was with much concern that
read this morning that a movement
was on foot headed by the Governor Of
the State of New York to erect a hos

1t is not because ] am unpatriotic or
think any care but the best is deserved
by the soldiers, but why erect new
buildings at great expense when the
Red Cross is about to dismantle 9
splendid hospital right in the State Of
New York itself, and every camp in
each state had its hospital which is ne
Longer required for the purpose orig
inally intended?
Every one Of these hospitals could
be put to merciful use, but at pres
ene 1t is suggested to use this one 70

Condonation of Crime

The Socialist organization devoted
yesterday, the second anniversary of
his conviction for resistance to con-
scription, to agitation for the re-
lease Of Eugene V. Debs. Inciden-
tally, what is called amnesty" is
asked for other prisoners whose Of
fenses are styled political"
The spirit of this propaganda is
suggested by the contents of the ap-
peal Of The Call, the Socialist organ,
for public support. It speaks of the
"war-mad" jury which convicted
Debs, who acknowledged his guilt.
1t refers to him as a victim of the
"class war"
No pardon is sought on the ground
Of mercy or repentance. It is held
that Debs was right and the jury
wrong. If set free it is not denied
that he will continue his attacks on
organized society and the orderly
rule Of the majority.
No one Of a proper mind and
heart takes delight in confining men
in penitentiaries. But when the
matter is put as Debs and his friends
put it, what must be the reply? Is
each person to judge for himself
what laws he is to obey? If he vio-
lates laws that the public, through
a free majority, has enacted, is his
offense merely "political"?
Debs claims to be Socialist. But
in fact his conduct has been pro-
foundly anti-social. He would en-
joy the blessings Of free society, but
would not obey its fundamental
rule. Is this not more truly criminal
and dangerous to the safety of all
than the crime Of q thief whose Of
tense would be chiefly against
an individual?
Debs does not come before the
public with his soul purged, and un-
der the circumstances his release
would encourage all forms of law
breaking.
A side light on the lack of good
faith Of this amnesty" agitation
was furnished not long ago by John
Spargo. Mr.. Spargo as a Socialist
had been requested to join in efforts
to get the so-called political" pris-
oners released. He replied that he
thought 1t desirable to have asso-
ciated with the effort men and
women Of unimpeachable loyalty. He
received the following reply: "It is
very likely that If your method
should be followed the amnesty
would be granted at once. But in
that case the whole propaganda
value Of these prosecutions would be
lost to us. We do not want the
President to proclaim general am
nesty nor to pardon any Of the pris-
oners unless 1t Is plainly done be-
cause Of the menace Of our move
ment. We want agitation far more
than we want amnesty"
