Luther Burbank, who Is proud of

We were to have the police "taken
I cut of politics." and now we are told
that all "phantom voters" must be re

these reforms will be effected about as
soon as the other, and that will bo when
the peoplo decide to take their govern
Bient Into their own hands.
Whether lti was well managed or
not, the cruise of the naval "rookies"
was a commendable advance toward oo
tttnlng a well-organized naval reserve;
but Its Importance does not stop there.
It has opened the way for education of

of the service In tho political field, and

f personal heroism tells of tho restora

graced and cashiered, but as a privato

Withering machtno gun lire and helpod

thing Is tho one compensation of war
its trying of souls in a terrible but purl
tying fire.
It Is a cause for natural Indigna
tion to Dr. Howard S. Anders, as well as
to other citizens, that, though this au
thority on the transmission of illness
through1 germs more than two months
ago and beforo Infantile paralysis ap
peared here pleaded for tho prompt and
thorough flushing of the streets to avoid
the dust peril, which ho and other author
ities are convinced is productive of this
disease, his advice was not followed. But
H is not only a question of infantile
paralysis. As he points out, during "the
i BAlr-spltlng whether tho virus is in
haled or swallowed,' the fact remains
t that .dust Is germ:laden and with many
varieties of microbes which keep our
mortality rate higher than it should be.
It is patently with sadness and not satis-

COMPETITION TO HELP
FOREIGNERS
IF ANYTHING has been proved by thli
war It Is that a great nntton cannot
nfford to be dependent on foreign bot
toms for carrying Its ocean trade. Thou
sands of tons of German shipping are tied
up In American ports because thcVessels
cannot safely go to sea. Thousands of
tons of British and Fronch shipping havo
been removed from tho transatlantic
trade because tho vesiels are needed for
war purposes on the othor side. Tho ro
suit is that freight rates nro so high thnt
shipowners have received for a singlo
voyago tho full value of their vessels.
Our foreign trndo has had to bear this
great burden because wo have neglected
for years to take tho proper stepi to buIU
up an adequate merchant marino under
the American flag.
Tho Democracy Is boasting that It has
passed n shipping bill that will rcstoro tho
merchant marino. Thero is no disposi
tion to condemn It for Its creation of a
shipping beard. Tl-nt body may be able
to discover what is best to he dono in tha
future. But when this has been slid
there remains nothing else that ca.i bo
urged In defenso of the measure.
In Its essentials it is an assault upon
the principle of protection for Amettcan
Industry. Mr. Hughes mado this plain In
his ndmtrablo speech at Bath, Me., on
Saturday. Ho was talking In a district
where tho people had been roado pros
perous by tho shipbuilding industry,
whero the century-old policy of restricting
tho coaBtvlso trade to American-built
vessels hart built up shipyards as it has
built them along the Delaware. He
called attention to tho fact, which the
Evenino Lr.DQEn was tho first to point
out, that the shipping law authorizes tho
shipping board to buy foreign ships and
to arjange for their use In the coastwlso
trado In competition with American-built
vessels. He might have said that the law
virtually directs tho board to buy foreign
built ships If It can gpt them moro
cheaply than ships built at home.
Tho bulk of our foreign commerce Is
carried on through foreign shipowners,
who use foreign-built ships. Tho un
doubted purpose of tho law is to admit
to our domestic coastwlso trado foreign
built ships on tho samo terms as ships
built by American workmen. It is a part
of the policy of tho Administration to put
every American Industry Into active cut
throat competition with Industries abroad.
Tho war has given to our shipbuilders
the same kind of protection that other
manufacturers have enjoyed, and their
yards are swamped with orders. Wo are
building merchant ships for Europe be
cause the European yards are rushed
with naval orders. But when tho war
ends tho European, yards will be freo to
resume tho building of merchant ships.
Their efficiency has been increased by tho
discipline of necessity, and they will bo
able to underbid us on ships as they will
be able to undersell us In the ordinary
commercial markets because of the l.-wer
wages which they pay.
Mr. Hughes further pointed out that the
law has not even tho merit of meeting a
temporary emergency, for it provides no
way for relieving tho existing shortage
of ships, although Its friends have de
fended it ns tho one way to freo Ameri
can shippers from their present depend
ence on foreign shipowners.

COST OF WATCHFUL WAITING
T 15 estimated that tho military ex
nono nf the President's Mexican
policy havo already exceeded $106,000,000,
and word now comes from New London
that tho Mexican commissioners are pre
paring to ask for the payment of an in
demnity of not loss than 100,000,000 nor
more than $200,000,000 because of tho
humiliation of tho Mexican nation. Even
the friends of Mr. Wilson may bo par
doned for doubting whether the country
Is going to get the worth of Its money
out of this matter.
IN MAINE TODAY
Tom Daly's Column
MAINE elects today a Governor, two
United States Senators and four
members of the House of Representatives,
besides a Legislature and county offices.
The chairman of the Republican Stato
Committee estimates the Republican
vote at 76,000 and tho Democratic vote
al C1.000. The chairman of the Demo
crats Campaign Committee puts 'the
Democratic vote at 71,000 and the Re
publican vote at 68,000.
The Democratic vote has varied In the
last twenty years, from 27,830 In 1604
to 73,425 in 1910, averaging about 47,000.
On only five occasions has It reached or
exceeded 60,000. Mr. Wilson polled 61,000
In 1912. The Democratic candidate for-
the governorship received 62,000 in 1914,
against a Republican and Progressive op
position of 77)000, but as the opposition
was divided the Democrat was elected.
The Republican vote has varied In the
same' period from 80,466 in 1896 to 26,645
in 1912, averaging about 64,000, TJie
Progressives polled 48,493 In the latter
year, making the combined opposition to
WUson 77.90.

To the Editor of the Eveninn Ltdacr: -
Sir Any physician should bo glad to

the consecutive dally articles exposing the
extent, extremity, cupidity, disease, demor
alization and pathetic distress connected

POLICE INDIFFERENCE
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir I am reading your truthful facts on
the terrible drug curse which has so many
of your young people In Us deadly clutches
and only hope your efforts will help to drlvo
the dealers who Gupply the stuff from the
city and place them behind the bars where
they belong.
I also wish to call your attention to a
locality where the traffic Is carried on
openly and In defiance to tho police and the
public, wh.o must endure the horrible sight
of seeing the poor wretches striving to
obtain the Btuft which their bodies crave.
Vine and Franklin streets is t'..e trading
ground for the dealers, and at all hours of
the day and night they can be seen han
dling the drugs. Many of the alleyways are
being used by the dope fiends for passing
the drugs and taking their injections. The
eight is appalling to the neighbors, who are
helpless, as the police do not seem to Inter
fere or drive them away. "Hold-ups" take
place every night, as the slaves must get
money to buy the stuff. Kindly give this
place an investigation and perhaps you can
help drive them away. It. K M.

INCREDULOUS
To ths Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir It will doubtless be of Interest to
you as a Journalist legitimately anxious to
gauge the effect upon your readers of your
articles that I do not believe a word that
you are printing In relation to drug ad
dicts In Philadelphia.
Your statements are entirely Incredible
15,000 drug fiends In Philadelphia would
approximate one out of every forty-three
of the adult population of the city. Such
a statement Is Its own refutation, and
fcasts reflection upon cither journalism's In
telllgenco or Us veracity.
I can readily understand why a physi
cian would openly subscribe to Buch a falsi
ficationcommercialized medical men are
a matter of every-day observation. But
why the Evenino Ledoer should follow
In the wake of the medlca.1 charlatan puz
zles mo. To rob a community of its reputa
tion Is not a decent thing to do. There
nre results which come from such a loss
which make the thief of a community's
reputation worse than the drug fiend. Tho
fact that clergymen are in the lists with
these offenders does not ameliorate the
offense. HORACE T. TOMKINS.

IN DEFENSE OF NOYES
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir It would seem to me that If all be
true that is said of Casement, to whose
name his family and admirers ' still seem
willing to tack the "Sir," conferred by hated
Britain, It were better to let him lie for
gotten of men.
That Alfred Noyes, a gentleman of dis
tinction and note, would deliberately He re
garding thU man's diary seems Improbable,
especially when he could be proved a liar,
but when Michael Francis Doyle, his friend
and counselor, disclosed .the fact that "Case
ment had entered Into a treaty with Ger
many," for no matter what reason, it Is suf
ficient to turn even the hearts of his de
fenders against him.
It Is Indeed monstrous that this wonder
ful, so-called "high-minded, noble-hearted
patriot" could be guilty of entering Into a
pact with a nation which was deliberately
slaughtering hundreds of his brother Irish
men, not alone by the usual warfare method
of shells and bullets, but by poison gas and
liquid Are. Forming an alliance while his
friends and brothers, who, fighting not for
"King and country," but Ood and humanity,
lay writhing In the agonies of death death
brought about by means that has made Ger
many, whose hand he clasped In friendship
and good-will, the most hated and despised
of all the countries of the globe.
If this be not treason, then where shall
we find It? Not treason to Kngland, but to
his own. Out upon him a traitor of the
