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

THE VOICE OF
A Suggestion That the Money to Pay the Railroad Workers Better
Wages Be Got By Squeezing the Water Out

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.

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

THE MERCHANT SUBMARINE
Out from a far, beleaguered land
Girdled with great ships swift and gray
Tho U-boat shot with silent speed
Upon Its brave, appointed way.
A moment, and Its wet-kissed back
Lapsed from the golden-glinting sun
And swept down through the boft abyss
Where fish In shy, wild legions run
Leviathan, from where he dreamed,
Lifted his huge age-weeded head,
And churned tho bottom of the sea
To roaring silver as he (led
Above the sloping continent
Of old Atlantis, whoso dark sky
Is now the wide and washing deep,
They saw the mad Thing meteor by
Those captains and adventurers
Who dandle nereids on the knee
And only fear lest Gabriel's blast
Will call them from their ocean-glee:
They all sent up a ghostly shout
AS there they sat, each like a klpg
Sea-phophor8 shook the settled calms,
Stirred by the aqueous echoing
They stained the Vast with milky Are, ,
And creatures wearing stars aroso
In nebylae and galaxies.
Then settled back to bright repose
In deepening valleys forests glowed
Purple and red and ancient blue,
Where polyps blossomed upward mouths
And God's mistaken Guesses grew
The U-boat climbed a rcwjky Udgej
It sloped and sloped to thinner gray
Until it burst up into dawn
And the sweet miracle of day;
The sailors threw the hatches wide
And drank the open air again.
It seemed like soaring' into space;
They felt Jlka 4UwnboJi4 neat

of negroes. 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. I3y this means virtually no white
men were disfranchised, but tho maiorltv
of negroes lost their right to vote. The
Grandfather Clause was declared uncon.
stitutlonal by the Supremo Court of tha
United States last year.
