It would havo been real nows If wo had been told that ho wouldn't. Tho Gorman sixteen and a lmlMnch gun has been outclassed by tho new twenty-Inch gun now being constructed by tho French. It will shortly mako its appearance Klrghls. So terrible Is this now gun that Us effect is evidently folt long beforo It ar rives on tho battlefield. Tho settlement of the strike sltua tloa seems to be well on tho road toward taxing tho people of this country an extra fifty million or ad. Somo time tho people themselves are going to strike, and then there will be something doing, suro enough. Tho ballot box will cure this high cost of living or hand it a Jolt even tually. "Wo trust that tho eminent gentle men who havo been selected to represent this country as members of tho Interna tional Joint commission which Is to settlo our differences with Mexico will find tho work to their liking and tho results worth while. Tho troublo is that by tho time they ore In agreement with tho do facto Government there Is likely to ba another do facto Government. Tho lady is apt to go Insnno who insists on wearing a dress to match her chameleon. Tho country Is tied to a barrel of dynamite, and has tho exqulslto agony of watching tho President, tho Brotherhoods and tho railroad presidents' squabblo as to which bucket of water to use In put ting out tho time fuse. When the sput tering gets too close to tho dynamite all three buckets will bo poured on it. In a good melodrama of tho older day and in good moving pictures tho rescue never comes until tho very last minute. But tho railroad presidents and Mr. Wilson wo right in Insisting that hereafter tho victim is not to be tied down. It Is doubtful whether Mr. Hirst is more pesslmlstio concerning British credit than the New York Times and World aro concerning tho industrial capacity of Europe after tho war. These Democratic organs aro convinced the mil lions of soldiers who havo been trained In efficiency by military discipline and the millions of women at home who havo become efficient in industry are not going to be able to produce very much in times of peace. Maybo not, but they are pro duce, .a, ratler substantial output in time of war, are they not? Admiral Mayo with a battle fleet escorting thirty transports has begun an attempt to make a landing on the coast somewhere between Capo Hatteras and Eastport, Me. He has until September 1 to do It. Admiral Helm, with a fleet of battleships, is attempting to sink the transports and capture the invading war. ships. This is the war game In which the navy is now engaged. The invading fleet was successful last year. It is likely to be successful this year, for the task before the defending ships is greater than they can be expected to perform. It Is virtually Impossible for a small fleet to defend 600 miles of coast against a vigilant enemy. No one knows whether Infantile paralysis is communicated by milk. The order of the chief milk inspector, how eyery that no milk be sold in the city from farms which cannot produce a clean bill of health has been Issued in the proper spirit of precaution. If we close every possible avenue of contami nation we can check the spread of the disease. If only pure milk is offered to the children the chances are that they will be better able to resist infection than if germ-laden food is given to them, even If the germs be only those of ordinary ailments. The milk dealers are acting with fine public spirit In co-operating With the authorities. To say that disregard of the pro prieties does not pay Is to put right liv ing on a low plane. Indeed. , Vet there are persons who can be touched by no higher motive than that of selfish material In terest Assuming that the published ac counts of Tuesday night's shooting In Fulrmoutit Park are correct, the man wbo U supposed to have sought only to (gratify his taste for feminine society in nn. unconventional way has become a wu4wrer.

Ho may noVer bo brought to justice, but he wilt carry tho brand upon his conscience wherover ho goes. Tho price that has been exacted from him Is what every man who pursues his course Is liable to bo called upon to pay. If the men do not know any better than to oxposo themselves to such tlsks, tho young women who go out at night In unllghtcd automobiles ought to count tho cost hofoio they exposo themselves to what may happen. GET RID OF THE DUST AMONG nil tho things that aro "so big ou can't bco them," the blanket of pulverized filth which 1IC3 over cities has no rival, at once for harmfutness nnd for unpardonablo neglect. It U tho great outdoor nursery for germs of all kinds. It not only has been shown to bo nn In variable factor In causing a number of diseases, but It nets as a universal lrrl tant upon tho noses nnd throats of tho community and lowers tho general health perhaps Its most sinister plmso In tho long run, because thl3 general Impairing of vitality cannot bo easily defined or translated Into statistical Information. "Contagion Is spread by flics and dust," Prof. Arnold Netter siys of Infantile paralysis. Ho Is a leading Buropean au thority on that disease. And again, "Tho germ penetrates tho body toward tho nervous centers by way of tho noso nnd tho back of tho mouth." Contagion Is spread by dust, and tho dust Irritates noses and throats, Alls them with mucus and prepares them for a ready acceptance of tho germ. Proof of tho condition Is obtalnablo by any ono with tho energy to take tho ele vator to tho top of any high building In almost any largo city. From there, lato on a clear afternoon, he can sco tho clean blue sky ho had forgotten in tho street below and, clearly defined, a brown ish, greenish hazo of poison over and among tho housetops. It Is tho sweep ings of several hundred thousand build ings and many miles of streets, mixed with tho smoko of factories and with enough of tho fumes of oily waste to give It body and Immobility In tho face of what slight brcezo there may be on an August day. This Is not a sad condition which Is always with city dwellers. Pittsburgh Is still called tho "Smoky City," but tho term Is becoming meaningless. Reforms havo reduced tho smoke nulsanco by 7G per cent there. This phase of the evil can bo eliminated everywhere, though It would tako somo time. But what can bo done what must bo done at onco In Philadelphia to produce in ono day an lmmenso Improvement is tho proper "laying" and removal of tho dust. Every street and sidewalk In the city should bo sprinkled each morning beforo attempts aro mado to cart tno dust and refuse away. Tho sweeping that goes on Is now often simply a rcdls trlbutlon of dust. Dust Is swept oft tho sidewalks Into tho street, or, rather, It Is swept up into tho air. Temporarily, of course, sidewalk and doorstep look clean. Tho same process goes on In tho street between sldowalks. The revolving brushes of the dust wagons aro the signal for a neighborhood to close windows and for pedestrians to close their eyes. For they simply All tho air with clouds of dust, and what tho sweepers later shovel up and cart away Is probably not one-half of tho poisonous matter that our children breathe. This could all bo obviated by thorough sprinkling. In emergency measures the Health Director has had a freo hand, and it has not required new legisla tion to enable him to tako new precau tions. The police can bo sent to each householdor with verbal and printed In structions to water the sidewalks before sweeping. Tho householders should be shown that it is also their duty to help out the city street sprinklers by using hose in front of their houses, or, if they have no hose, by pouring bucketfuls of water over me rew square yards of asphalt adjoining their sidewalks. This would be little to require by law; It would be as little to request of residents. THE LONG WAY ROUND ELEVEN nations embattled in the Bal kans are struggling to decide whether Germany shall dominate England in the world's commerce. Two other nations are making momentous decisions. Of this he roio number each has Its separate inter est, and the ancient quarrels of tho two Balkan wars are approaching a new set tlement. In this case, as in many others, while Interest is centered on one spot, it would be injudicious to believe that the war can be decided there. If this war were capable of such an outcome, Germany must have won long ago, in the desola tions of Serbia, in the long marches 'of Itussia, in Belgium and in France. The hopes of the Entente lie in the vastness of their war, Rumania and Greece might 4oIn the Teutonic Empires, and. terrible as the disaster would be, the war would still continue on three fronts. What the Entente tries now to do is to strike a balance. Bulgaria must be over run to make up for Serbia. Turkey should be annihilated to compensate for Belgium. In Russia the pendulum swings back and forth and the victories ore even. On the western front, since December, 1914, the Germans have lost rather than gained. And every blow from Russia, Italy or the Balkans tends slowly a,ud inevitably to strangle the second Germany. It is said that Berlin must be reached fhmmrh Vienna, It is equally true that it can ba reacted through CoMtanteSi EVENING LEDGER-HIIADELPHIA, THUESDAY, AUGUST 24, Tom Daly's Column And here the last of the pinch-hitters comes, Edgar A.

SQUEEZE OUT THE WATER To the Editor of tho Evening Ledger: Sir I havo read with Intercut your edi torial "Heavy Taxation by Edict." Your analysis of tho matter looks very plauslblo on tho face of tho fact, but It does not go far enough. The $50 000.000 In incrca&ed labor cost to tho railroads can only bo shifted to tho public In case you Increase tho rates on traffic. Let us suppose that this $50,000, 000 bo simply taken out of tho dividends of tho stockholders of tho railroads Then no ono Is affected but thoso stockholders, which are numerically but a very Infln itestlmal percentnso ot tho general public. Then, too, It becomes a question of whether the earning power of the rallroids could consistently be asked to btand this shrink age. It Is my understanding that tho stocks of railroad companies havo been "watered" to tho extent of nbout $2,500, 000,000. That Is. tho railroads nro asking permission (and obtaining It) from tho Government to charge a rate that will en able them to pay at least 5 per cent. In terest on this watered stock, for which no equivalent actual investment was ever made. Five per cent Interest on $2,500,000. 000 13 5125.000,000. Why would it not bo a better proposition, as far as tho general publ o Is concerned, to havo tho President nppolnt an Investigat ing commission to determine Just how much of these watered stocks nnd other securi ties are outstanding, declare them fraudu lent and then relievo tho railroads of tho oxpenso ot paying interest on them. Then let tho Intorstato Commerce Com mission ndjust tho present traffic rates accordingly to offset this economy This would then permit the payment of tho $50, 000,000 annually in wages to the employes without Increasing tho burden on tho gen eral public and would make it possible to save the public an additional $75,000,000. A. W. WYLIll Philadelphia, August 22. A Government commission Is now en gaged In appraising the railroads of tho country to discover whether they aro over capitalized. The purpose la to discover what tho property Is worth so that tho Interstate Commerce Commission may know how much should bo earned by the frelghr and passenger service In order to pay a fair return on the Investment Editor of the Evenino Ledqeh THE WORLD IS OUT OF JOINT To the Editor of the Evening Ledger: Sir While fully believing In the doctrlno that tho laborer Is worthy of his hlro and that the employer frequently appropriates more than his share of tho profits resulting from the products of labor, jet It appears to me that this country is rapidly approach ing that stage when the employe will ba the dictator and the employer subservient to hts wishes. This thought Is not suggested alone by the threatened railroad strike now agitat ing the country, but by the trend of the controversy between capital and labor which has been going on for years, and is a prob lem the solution of which may well occupy tho thoughts of our greatest minds. For with compensation acts, strike agi tators and strikes. Investigations, antago nistic and often oppressive legislation, what else can capital do but throw up the sponge and tell the Government to assume full responsibility and manage affairs to suit Itself? A condition which In all probabil ity would prove no more satisfactory than that under which we are now laboring. Now, whlio holding all this to be true, yet Is It not a fact that capital or our men of wealth are themselves largely re sponsible for the unrest and dlssatUfactlon in the world of labor? They build for them selves magnificent homes, adorned and fur nished in all the style and grandeur art can conceive and money can buy Their wives and daughters are bedecked with Jewels and live Jives of luxury and ease, while those of others, perhaps more ricaly endowed In those virtus and graces per taining to- a true and noble womanhood, are. coeaud to Jive of toll and drudaery, p$r THE ANSWER? ,&: sj& v THE PEOPLE mlttcd to seo but little.

As thou3and3 of white men would also have been disfranchised, tho so called Grandfather Clauso was made part of the Constitutions. It provided that a man could vote In spite of inability to meet tho aforesaid qualifications, provided his grandfather had been a legal voter previous to a fixed date, the date named being al ways previous to the enfranchisement of negroes by Federal constitutional amend ment.
