WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Never be-
fore in its history has the United
States been so healthy as it now is
and has been for several months, says
Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon general OF
the United States public health serv-
ice. Dr. Cumming qualities his state
ment, however, by adding that the
country's health is not as good as it
should be.
There is a general absence of the
usual winter ailments. There are an
unusually few cases of influenza, an
epidemic of which terrorized the
country in 1918.
'NThe present paucity of cases is due
/ believe, to the care of the individ-
ual for himself Dr. Cumming says.
There is no positive anti-toxin yet
discovered that will cure influenza, so
people must be extra careful and lead
healthful lives, as much out of doors
as possible"
The central western states are warn
ed against smallpox. The United
States public health service reports
virulent outbreaks of that disease in
various parts of that section of the
country, radiating from Kansas City.
Oddly enough, the surgeon general at
tributes the prevalence of smallpox in
the centrol west to the general good
health enjoyed by that section This
sounds strange" he says, "but in re-
cent years smallpox has taken such a
small toll-the median or eight-year
average has been about so persons in
every 1,000-that people stopped being
vaccinated" ........ ....
Urges Prevention
Due to the peculiarly fatal form of
! smallpox in the middle west" he adds,
/ ''the average death rate from that dis
ease has increased to 1.21 persons per
| 1000. The public can draw a lesson
| from that and avail itself of the pre-
/ ventive measure, namely, vaccination. u
| The surgeon general sees no cause
! for alarm over the marked increase in
| diphtheria during the last year-as
high as 1.90 per 1000 persons, whereas
the median for the previous eight

anything about his welfare.
AS were the other members of the
Collar family. he was born and
brought up in Canada. He went to
Lowell. Mass. where he lived for
some time and then about 80 years
ago, he went to Seattle, Wash. where
he married at the age Of so years. His
wife died and as his sister, Mrs. Du-
mont understands, no children were
born Of the union.
At the present time, Mr. Collar
would be about CO years of age. An
other brother IN Massachusetts, and
the sister in this city have been in
tending for some time to make en-
deavors to find their brother in the
West. At one time. the brother for
whom they are now searching lived
in Seattle, owned a nice home there
and was apparently well to do.
Mrs. Dumont says that her brother
was quiet, unassuming, went about
his own business and made few
friends. He has always been a miner,
since going west, being in gold min
ing. He worked alone in his pros
poets.
Steps have been taken to communi-
cate with Seattle, Wash, authorities,
to solicitate their aid in finding Mr..
Collar.

IL Lenine Passes

If reports that Lenine is sick unto
death are true Russia faces imme-
diate disaster. He is the master in
tellect and the directing force Of the
only government she has. 1t is he
who has kept alive the Soviet sys-
tenn. 1t is his iron hand that has
kept hostile factions from one an
others throats and has preserved
what semblance of order there is
still to be found in the distressed
nation.
What will happen after, Lenine
goes is matter of speculation.
What will happen on his going is
not pleasant to contemplate. The
Reds in his following have been
compared to radishes-red outside
and white within. Certain it is that
he has united warning clements and
first by promises and afterward by
force compelled them to submit to
his rule.
An internationalist, without reli-
gion of his own, he has held the Jew
TO be politically equal to the gentle
and has sternly put down racial out
breaks and hiss forbidden pogroms.
When the fear of him has departed
from the Jew baters, the Jews may
find themselves surrounded by the
same perils that beset them in the
days of the empire.
Similarly other of the many
groups that he has saved from dc
struction may find it necessary to
fight for their lives. Unless the
Man on Horseback appears-unless
some now suppressed faction can
rise to power-Lenine's death Will
mean an immediate lapse into an
archy and reign OF terror such as
even hapless Russia has never
known

For Us to Keep Out OF

AT meeting on Sunday evening
at which s65,000 was pledged to the
campaign fund of the Irish repub-
llcan party the army which owes
allegiance to the Provisional Irish
Free State government was de-
scribed as 1.-The West British forces. "
The money raised, it was announced
would, ''if necessary, be spent for
powder and shot to be used against
the Free Staters
1t is deplorable that American
money should be contributed for
such purpose, Many Americans
have sympathized with the Irish
desire for freedom and have
aided generously the Home Rule
cause. But Ireland is now free.
An Irish state has been ere
ated, as self-governing as Canada.
The way is open to Irish men and
women to prove their capacity to
function as nation. Is not this
something for which every lover
Of Ireland should be profoundly
Notwithstanding to quicken his
imagination and swell his heart?
There are lrishmen in Ireland who
INSIST on looking the wonderful gift
horse of freedom in the mouth and
dlsputing as to the exact terms on
which Ireland shall enjoy home rule
and seIf-rule. 1t is quarrel over
forms, not over substance. Per
sonal prejudices and ambitions have
unfortunately been tangled up in it.
But it is family difference Of a
very delicate nature, into which
outsiders ought to be loath to in
trude.
Friends of Ireland on this side Of
the water are doing Ireland no serv-
ice and America q bad service bv
mixing in. 1t is not an American
affair, for though Americans NAV
approve of freedom for Ireland it
is highly inappropriate for them to
try to prescribe the political form
which such freedom shall take. No
American dollar ought to be
spent to foment quarrel in which
the new edifice of fire eedom NAV he
leveled to the ground.
American money put to such en,-
ployment would be a curse 70 Ire
land 1t would also bring shame
on any country in which it's donors
claimed citizenship.

A Slump in Leadership

There would be no talk in tbe

Doom for the Mayor of New York if

1t both great parties had leadership
capable Of formulating policies and

house and the Cabinet constructive
craftsmanship is difficult to discover.
Seldom does it develop in national
conventions; almost never in local
party councils and committees.
1t has become the habit of ho+b

build up. Instead of adonting

the demagogues, who al least promise
10 do something for the people.
Every DRIFT toward such candidacy
as that of New Iork's Mayor. every
tlde that turns toward third parties
OF the Townley type, is due to the
lack of real constructive leadership

Useless Recrimination

Charges Of enormous profits by
coal operators unsupported by evi-
dence are as useless as the loose
statement that unless wages are re
duced the coal industry will go
bankrupt. They serve to mislead
rather than to enlighten a public
seeking facts
1t is not so much the evils of the
past as the readiustment for the
future that Immediately concerns
the country. In the maze of items
that are now being poured forth in
the guise of statistics and Informal
ton, the one outstanding factor is
the necessity of reorganization Of
the whole industry. This is par
tlcularly true Of the bituminous
mines, in which the evils Of the un-
even demand for coal have been
most keenly felt
The fact that the working time Of
the men is so frequently reduced to
minimum is one Of the causes Of
the high cost Of production, for the
reason that the unproductive hours
must be compensated by higher
wages. At the same time the over
head charges remain almost con-
stant, whether or not the miners are
busy. Shafts have to be kept in re
palr, water has to be pumped out
and air blown in, all of which items
constitute fixed proportion of the
operating cost, The mechanical
equipment has to be kept in repair
and the general expense of main
tenance has to be covered.
The further fact that there are
inadequate storage facilities sug
gests more lack of organization.
The seasonal demand is in part arti-
hcial, as the greatest portion of the
coal consumed goes not to the
furnace, range or CRATE, but to the
railroads and manufacturing.
That the operators are aware that
there is much to be improved goes
without saying. A frank attempt to
devise means of bringing about such
Improvement is one Of the first needs
OF the moment. Obstnacy and re-
elimination will avail nothing. What
is needed is that the interested
parties get together, to meet, in the
first place, the present emergency of
strike, and, in the second place, the
obvious necessity for reorgan'za-
ton of the industry upon modern
lines.

Enforce or Repeal

80 The administration has set its
r. hand to the enforcement of the
.prohibition law. If the law cannot
be enforced il ought to be repealed.
