Guests Who Pay.

TN 1890, single year, over 252Ioooooo per-
j sons entered and left New York city by rail-
road. How many more came and went by vessel
is not known. If they stayed in the city but one
day, they formed an average increase In popula-
ton of over 100000 Since most Of them stayed
much longer, this per diem increment was probably
close to 100000 or between a fifth and sixth Of
the resident population.
Occasionally some one from that city of
nunciation complains that il has to pay so large
part OF the national tax budget. But what it pays
as taxes is hardly comparable to what these mil
hons from the provinces contribute TO its ability to
pay Nor is il a small matter that these same
guests are largely buyers of goods, or investors
through New York firms. or represent those whose
money stufS the New Yo,k banks.
Incidentally the males Of their kind, who form
the major part of these millions come from the
arid regions. They often have the conservation
procvities of the camel along with the money to
put them in application No one need have further
cause for wondermentS that even the most staid,
virtuous and upright Of the New York press, vie
with each other in opposing the enforcement OF
the Volstead act, shoWering il with Fidieue and
begging for loosening Of its provisions.
New York is a splendid city, the pride Of all
Americans and full Of admirable citizens. The way
in which New York, its meh of wealth and its f.

Carpenter has not come to this country to
punish Dempsey for his alleged evasion of army
service daring the world war. Dempsey is not
setting up to be the palladium Of the shipyard
workers.. Neither has uttered word concerning
any aspect Of the fracas save that from which it
gains its primary interest, /. G., the matching of

mendous venerableness if little virtue.
This prize fight is not even international since
1t will not settle the worth of two systems Of box
ing. Carpenters most important fights have been
with English and American pugilists and his style
is really that of an American The Jersey City
affair will possess iota Of the nterracial in
terest bound to be evoked by a match between
white and black for instance.
The public seems curiously tangled in its per-
ceptons of the Dempsey Carpenter trial. 1t is
apparently incapable of reducing the affair by
analysis to prime factors. II insists upon investing
Carpenter with the righteousness of the crusader
and would regard Dempsey as a creature some
what furtive, one resting beneath the knowledge
that retrbution for past sins is about to descend
upon him 1t is fond of characterizng the pro-
ponents as the soldier and the shipyard Stacker
Having settled the question of right and wrong to
its own satisfaction it proceeds TO the ancient
principle that right must triumph. Ergo, good
night to Dempsey.
Had the Frenchman announced that he came
as the champion Of the veteran and patriot there
might be grounds for formulation Of such propo-
sition and correspondingly If one could logically
believe that Dempsey does feel sense OF shame
for not having answered the call to the colors
one might with some reason look for Carpenter
victory.
But Carpenter is only fighter and
Dempsey never has been anything else. 1t is
doubtful whether SO abstract quality as patriot
ism Is included in his very material makeup. 1t
is doubtful whether such person as Dempsey
could ever rightly be accused of stacking, since
this implies conscious evasion. They are simply
two highly-trained machines of punishment and
endurance The better machine, barring untore-
seen accident, Is bound to triumph. Which is
the better Is a matter for experts to debate and
July to decide. ,

Prevent Typhoid Fever.

Louisville. KY, August 6.-Basing
his recommendations on a recently
completed investigation OF an outbreak
OF typhoid at Greensboro, State SAM
tary Engineer F. c. Dugan has made TO
DIR. A. T. Mccormack, State Health
officer, nine recommendations which.
II put into effect Immediately. and con-
| tinued attention Is paid to the neces-
sity of having good water and milk
supply, will mitigate the severity of
the present outbreak Of typhoid in
Kentucky. IL these measures are not
adopted, Mr.. Dugan says. the disease
will be certain to. continue to occur
sporadically.
His recommendations follow:
All municipalities should compel the
liberal use of lime in privies and vaults
especially during the fly season.
All persons who have not had ty-
phoid fever nor been vaccinated with
In the last two years should receive
the typhoid incubation Immediately.
Wherever there are houses on sewer
lines but not connected thereto, or
dinances should be passed requiring all
houses to be connected where sewers
are available.
All privies, vaults or cesspools exist
ing on property which now is connect
ed or which is connected in the future
should be destroyed or filled.
In municipalities which are only par
TALLY severed. sewers should be built
in the remaining portions without de-
lay.
All municipalities should make more
frequent collections Of garbage and
trash.
All property owners in the State
should be held responsible for the
growth OF weeds either on their prop
erty or on the grass plot in the side
walk.
A general cleanup of all municipal
tiles should be made Immediately.
Municipalities should have city plans
and should be divided into city zones,
Well laid out cities are kept clean
more easily and have lower disease
rates.

The liquor people never made a
harder fight than they are now making
to discourage the public with the
Illicit liquor business, using it to brand
prohibition as a failure A striking
example of one of their methods is a
series of ten articles sent out from
Washington, published in the Hunt
ington Herald Dispatch. Cincinnati
Enquirer, and every paper in the coun-
try that can be induced to publish
them. They purport to give facts from
the prohibition enforcement bureau in
Washington which is partly true. no
doubt. A man named Seabrook puts
his name over the articles. BY the
way, what wetter name than sea-brook
could be found? Look out for this and
other such propaganda in the daily
press.
