Things havo come to a pretty pass
when a magistrate cannot fiet into his
'own club becauso of a police quarantine
against It Magistrates Call's Twentieth
Ward Republican Club cannot bo a politi
cal organization, for Director Wilson says
that he knows of no political clubs In tho
city except tho Union Leaguo, so the
quarantine must have been ordered for
i some other reason. "If it is a gambling
house why don't he raid it?" the magis
trate Is reported as saying to the efflcer
on guard at the door. Perhaps it was
quarantined Saturday night because it
was a speak-easy. There must have been
some reason. Will Director Wilson ex
plain for the information of tho managers
of other political clubs that are not po
litical? The prohibition Issue has played the
mischief with Maine politics for years.
It gave the State to tho Democrats be
fore the Progressive wing developed in
the Republican party In 1912. The State
Is normally Republican, and if the cam

by the regulation of the liquor traffic, it
la morally certain that it will roll up. a
good old-fashioned majority for the Re
publican State ticket in September and
for Hughes In November, The State
election takes place three weeks from to
day. Thp Democrats have already begun
to send their national speakers down East
to hold the voters In line. Colonel Roose

on the Progressives the Importance of re

We know as little about infantile

we don't know bow the disease. Is trans

knew things that were not so about
yellow fever in the days before the Reed
Commission discovered the relation of
mosquitoes to Its transmission. Dr, Wil-
liara Pepper, of this city, writing in
Johnson's Encyclopedia, published in the
nineties, said, that it was generally con
ceded that there was a specific Infectious
aeent which propagated the disease, and
that this materies inorbl when let loose
would prove harmless unless the weather
was warm, and the air moist. He said it

through business intercourse or personal
Visits, but that there -was no general at

FINANCIAL JOKER THREAT
ENS TRANSIT DELAY
Nc
O CONTRACTS for transit work un
der tho authorizations of this year
can be let until some part at least bf the
loan ratified by the people In May Is sold.
If, however, even $1,000,000 worth of the
bonds for transit purposes are sold, It
will be possible thereafter to lot contracts
In advance of particular bond sales. So
run tho technicalities in tho caso, accord
ing to responsible officers, tho peculiarity
In tho caso of transit arising from tho
fact that a fifty Instead of a thirty year
amortization term holds for theso special
bonds.
The city requires now about $9,000,000
wherewith to pay mnndamuses, duo to
Parkway condemnations, which manda
muses aro drawing interest at tho rate of
six per cont. Quito oblously it is good
business to get these paid, as tho saving
in interest will bo very great. There
ought, in fact, to bo no further delay In
this matter, as tho unnecessary cost to
tho city is approximately flvo hundred
dollars a day.
Tho condition of tho security market Is
such that It Is possible tho city would
havo difficulty In selling nt par two suc
cessive Issues of bonds. By law tho tran
sit bonds cannot bo sold for less than par.
If, therefore, $3,000,000 should bo Issued
for tho Parkway and difficulty should bo
experienced later In selling a second Issuo
for transit, tho effect would bo to tlo tho
wholo program up and delay would bo
inevitable.
In the circumstances It seems perfectly
clear that not nlno but ten millions of
bonds should bo sold, of which $1,000,000
should bo specifically for transit work.
Tho effect of this would bo to open tho
way for tho letting of whatever transit
contracts seemed wise, irrespective of tho
amount involved. It Is, Indeed, tho one
sensible and suro way of making tho
transit grants availablo and rendering
acceleration of tho great entorprlso pos
sible. There has been too much delay In prose
cuting transit work already. Several
days ago the Mayor Issued a statement,
considered a reply to cortaln pessimistic
utterances by Director Twining, in which
ho declared that he was ready to push
things along and that new contracts
would bo advertised for in tho near
future. If no new contracts can bo let
until somo of tho bonds are sold. It is per
fectly clear that tho first thing to do 13
to sell somo transit bonds. Instead of
that tho city is confronted with a pro
posal to sell bonds for the Parkway only.
Wo doubt very much If tho technicali
ties of the situation havo boon called to tho
attontlon of tho Mayor. We confidently
expect that he will now tako measures
promptly to see that tho financial diffi
culties are removed and everything mado
easy for Director Twining to get busy.
Certainly it will bo amazing if subordinate
projects authorized by tho May loan aro
hurried along while tho main project pro
vided for is left up in tho air.
Tho Important thing for citizens to re
member is this: Unless some bonds for
transit purposes are sold with the next
batch of bonds offered to tho public, tho
whole transit program will be threat
ened with long and tedious delay. There
is nothing that would better please the
obstructlonlstswho, although they have
been whlppod in every encounter in tho
open, are still hopeful that they can ac
complish further delay by indirection.
ULTIMATE ARBITRATION
IT IS not the question whether there
shall be-arbitration in the railroad sit
uation or not, but who shall arbitrate?
A protracted strike without violence
would be impossible, nnd violence would
spell defeat for the employes. There Is
not to be a state ot siege, because the
country, will not stand for a state of
siege.
Mr. Wilson has presented a plan for
agreement which the union accepts and
which the railroads reject, demanding
arbitration. Mr. Wilson replies that he
believe, in arbitration, but that "this is a
condition and not a principle we face," a
fine quotation from Grover Cleveland.
But its finesse is not very helpful.
The railroads are "willing for the Pres
ldent of the United States to appoint a
commission of disinterested persons to
arbitrate all matters of dispute,"
Now a commission appointed at Mr.
Wilson' personal discretion would simply
be Mr. Wilson in disguise. If the em
ployes have gotten fair play from Mr.
Wilson, why could they not get equally
fair play from Mr- Wilson's commission?
Whether they call the proceedings arbi
tration, a condition, or a principle Is not
important. The Important thing is the
personnel of that body, which now or
later -will be the thir4 party to which
both sides eventually must yield. The
employes have an opportunity to have
that personnel fixed by the man who
thinks along- the tame lines that they do.
Their failure to seize this opportunity
has the appearance of a seizure .of Mr,
Wilson's prestige as President as an
asset, he having happened to state an
opinion which was more acceptable to
them than" to the railroads. The railroads
cannot be deprived of their "day In
court," as they put u indefinitely. The
President's threat to let the public knew
where to place tho responsibility Is
merely another way el calling- In the pub

MR. WILSON AND THE RAILROADS
To the Edttor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Tho one man In tho United States
who ought to be congratulating himself In
these days Is Louis F. Brandeis. He said
a few years ago that the railroads were
managed so extravagantly that economies
amounting to $1,000,000 a day could be
made without seriously affecting the serv
ice to tho public. President Wilson has,
in effect, told tho railroad presidents In
Washington that they can make the In
creases In cost of operation Involvod In
tho eight-hour day as tho basis of pay
without having to Increase their charges
to the public. His language Is: "Calcu
lations aB to the cost of the change must,
if made now, be made without regard to
any possible administrative economies and
adjustments." There can be no doubt of
what Is In the President's mind. He In
sists that the eight-hour day bo granted
"because It Is right," and then promises
that he will use his influence to bring about
an Increase In rates "If the findings of
the Federal commission show that such a
course would be Just." But tho Federal
commission Is tainted with the BrandelB
notion that the ralhoad managers do not
know how to manage tlo roads; that they
aro wasting money that might be used to
pay dividends to shareholders.
The railroad men are willing to arbi
trate and toabide by the decision ot a
body of fair-minded men who have heard
the evidence. It seems to me that their
position' Is unassailable. They object to
being held up by the neck and compelled
to agrea to a plan which they insist will
bankrupt tho great enterprises In their
Can it be that tho President is playing
politics? Is he so rash as to believe that
for the sake ot securing a re-election he
is Justified In holding over, the railroads a
threat of Government ownership unless they
yield to his demand? Does he not know
that through the Interference by tha Gov
ernment in the management of the roads it
has become difficult for tha directors to se
cure the capital needed for proper main
tenance, to say nothing of necessary ex
pansion? Does ho not know that "It is

COOK THE CHILDREN'S FOOD
To the Edttor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Kindly permit me to offer a sug
gestion In connection with the present
paralysis epidemic.
In this ailment, like all others, preven
tion Is better than cure.
I have had personal observation of nearly
five hundred cases In New York nnd New
Jersey, and have found that In 00 per cent
of the patients anemlo conditions, tho result
of Improper food, are accompanying condi
tion, and that modern apartments with gas
stoves and patent foods are In tha history
of every case.
Feeding children or adults on the present
patent foods Is a crime and Impoverishes
the body In the very parts that then cannot
resist tho paralysis.
Half-cooked food, such as oatmeal, tha
result of saving gas or heat, is poison. It
takes at least an hour. Hastily boiled milk.
Instead of gradually warmed, ruins the milk
and the stomach.
In an apartment In New York where
breakfast foods, cantaloupes, corn and
other Indigestible, uncooked foods were tha
det, three children and the mother died.
In the flat above with more children and
less Income, but a' good, patient mother and
cook, where well-cooked oatmeal, rlco and
soups, plso soft boiled eggs, cooked fruits
and plenty ot milk were the diet, you could
not give them paralysis.
Proper food Is everything.
