Tho Indignation with- which the

that thoy aro considering peaco plans

Tho battle for good govornmont

The city of tho future will bo mado

every man of us smarted to yell "Tho Star

1 It In vision, will come when men put aside
euch potty titles as "American," "English

practically, had to mako every American,
Englishman and German resident pro

but keep men at peaco It Is worth, hoop

hat and a fine tailored suit Issued forth
nt high noon from a New York city hotel
several years ago and knelt on the side
walk. She chalked there the letters "V"
and "O," and by that time there were a
thousand people' about her. When she
had written "Votes for Women" trafllo
had stopped In that street. With courage
ond with charm she pressed the suffrage
cause on, always In the thick of it all,
but maintaining even In her most public
exploits tho essential dignity without
Which womanhood Is as nothing.. Her
Woman's strength could not keep pace
with her high spirit She would not have
caved herself until she hod seen Justice
done to the last and least woman In the
country. This Is what the suffragists
Vdve lost In Inez Mllholland Bolssevaln,

Blow to accommodate Itself to tho needs
of its new generation loses something In

The Jabor opposition to Government
delay of strikes, pending Investigation and
publication of a report is based ort tho
fact that many a strike, to succeed, must
be b. surprise attack. If employers were
Blven six months or even one month, In
eome cases, they could readjust their
business arrangements, retrench and
discharge malcontents. When a. report
about certain, industries was made public,
even though it favored would-be strikers,
there would be little fight left In them or
what little was left would be Ineffectual,
according to the extreme militant fac
tion lq union labor. This is to eay that
every conceivable strike la Just. The
fS-a-week garment worker, striking
against intolerable conditions at the mo
ment that her employer has undertaken
to fill large qrders, and the HO-a-week
expert mechanic or designer, leaving his
conjpapy helpless at a similar psycho
logical moment, ore to share publlo sym
pathy equally. He might be striking- be
oausu of some trifling complaint, or only
because it was a good time to strike, but
In any case he ia not to be deprived of
hla right to "the element of surprise,"
Untenable as this position probably is, let
us for the sake of argument accept it
How can It hurt railroad employes to per.

AN ANACHRONISM
QJPECTACUtiAn efforts
Adamsou law before
to got tho
tho Supreme
Court In1 the hope that a decision as to
Its constitutionality may bo got before
January 1 emphasizes a remarkable do
feet In our system of government. ,
Tho Government should havo tho right
to refer at once any now statuto to tho
Supremo Court for a prompt decision as
to Its legality. Tho day tho President
signed tho Adamson law tho law Itself
should havo been sent- to tlio supreme
Court, with a request for prompt con
sideration of It
Yoara ngo, beforo tho days of quick
communication, dolay In all affairs was
necessary, ns much so In tho Supremo
Court ns olsowhoro. But tho ancient
method Is today an anachronism, uttorly
unattuncd to modern conditions.
Fortunately oomo of tho States havo
already empowered their Governments to
sccuro decisions from tho Stato Supremo
Courts In tho manner described nbovo. It
Is no experiment. It has been tested and
found satisfactory.
Ah tho President wns emphatic during
tho campaign In declaring1 for certain
changes In legal procedure, wo trust that
tho absurdity of tho present situation will
bo made by him tho occasion for urging
tho very noces3ary Improvement herein
proposed.
WHY NOT THE TKUTH?
THE Record, which scorns to glory In
tho profound theory that If no public
money Is spent nono can bo wasted,
bellows with dollght over tho proposed
tax Increase, Insisting that It Is a vindi
cation of tho Record's obatructlonary
attltudo In transit affairs. Its chorus of
"I-told-you-sos" Is predicated on Its own
rcmarkablo discovery that In somo way
or other wo aro going to havo tho hlghor
tax becauso wo are going to havo modern
transit facilities. A remarkablo discovery,
Indeed! But It and truth aro perfect
strangers.
Tho comprehensive transit program has
as much to do with the increased tax
rato as tho administration of tho Island
of Guam had to do with tho recent voting
In' Paris, Texas.
"CUDS"
DIRECTOR DATESMAN has corralled
an idea and put it to work. Tho
Society of Clean-up Boostors, to bo
known as "Cubs," asks no dues from
members,' nor would it tako from any
pocket a slnglo dollar. It gives away a
little tag, on which is printed what
ought to bo a badgo of honor, "I Help
Keep My City Clean."
We hope to neo it prominently dis
played In front of many business houses,
where now each morning faithful em
ployes spend their time scattering tho
dust from the pavement Into the air,
and therefore Into tho nostrils and lungs
of inoffensive citizens, who aro already
overburdened by tho high cost of living
and object to a new load of doctors'
bills. Wo trust, too, that tho tag will
hang from tho Implements of street clean
ing, even from tho rubbish wagons, and
that In good time those who draw a
handsome profit under their contracts
to keep tho streets In a clean condition
will also become "Cubs," and even on
occasion cart dirt away In their own
receptacles instead of compelling human
beings to carry it in their bodies.
Tho dirty streets ot Philadelphia are
a reproach and the dust evil is a mon
strous crime. Director Dalesman Is
right to call on all citizens to help in a
permanent clean-up campaign. It gives
him an excellent opportunity to seo that
laws now on tho statuto books are en
forced. FOOD AND PIUCES
THEYre experimenting In Chicago on
the possibility of feeding men for
forty cents a day, as though it wero
something new. The wife of every work
ing man getting fifteen or twenty dollars
a week proved long ago that it was
possible,
A Philadelphia woman served a din
ner last week to ten persons, the food
for which cost a dollar and eighty-two
cents, or a little more than eighteen cents
for each diner.
These Incidents attract attention be
cause high prices are compelling every
one to consider the cost of food. Thoro Is
talk of an embargo on meat and grain
to protect our supply. Germany has a
food dictator and meatless days. The
president of the British Board of Traae
Is discussing the necessity of Introducing
meatless days In London, We hear lit
tle of this sort of thing from France be
cause the French housewife is able to
make ber provisions go farther than tho
housewife of any other western nation,
No amount of investigation into the
high prices of food will increase the sup
ply. We must face the situation and
stop waste. If we cannot urrora roasts
and steaks we must eat stews. But even
this is not likely to help matters very
much In the United States.
There is a contributing cause to high
prices here which has attracted little
attention. It lies In the remarkable in
crease In the amount of money in clr.
culattoti. The total amount in 1910 was
f 3.100,000,000. or about 131.33 per capita.
On the first of Noyember last year this
bad increased to 13,799.000,000; or J37.51
per capita. On the first of October this
year the sum had risen to f 4, 173,600,000,
or 110.62 for each person. On Novem
ber 1 it was 34.241,009,000 and 341.18 per
capita. In a year there has been an In
create of t443.00O.0OO, or more than one
balf as much, as the total omourtt we had
in 187. A dollar.. measured by Its value

MEDICINAL VALUE OP OPIUM
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir Tti a Individual who signs himself
II. I. Burke In your edition of yesterday
says he is a physician. Mr, Burke's name
does not appear in tho list of physicians tn
the telephone book. Perhaps he Is among
the 1500 physicians who object to have
their names In the directory. But thero Is
one H. I. Burke In the list of veterinary
surgeons. If that is the man, there is not
much danger of his patients getting the
drug habit.
Now, let us get Into the heart ot the
question. "What Is the use of opium? And
who would suffer If its use were altogether
prohibited?"
Onlum contains twenty alkaloids (nn al
kaloid is an organic base of vegetable
origin causing toxologlc effects), Mor
phine, which Is the principal alkaloid in
opium, was discovered in 1817; codetn and
heroin have been isolated from opium since.
These drugs are generally used to relieve
pain and produce sleep. Would it not be
better to prevent pain and sleeplessness by
removing the septlo condition which, nine
out of ten times, is' tho only cause of the
trouble?
Among the very many purposes for
which opium or Its derivatives have been
used may be cited the following:
(a) To check (excessive) secretions In
diarrhea and dysentery, Are there no non
toxic means of obtaining the same end?
(b) To produce sweating In coryza. Has
it been clearly proved that sweating Is de
sirable In the treatment of "colds"? Be
sides, are there not forty, 100, or perhaps
4000 other remedies for "colds"? '
(c) For gastro-lntestlnal troubles, includ
ing gaBtralgla and cholera morbus. There
are hundreds of remedies for these ail
ments. If morphine were the best remedy,
why retain all the others? And, If It Is
not the best, why use it at all?
Opium Is used for many conditions. It
is not a speclno for any; and it is full of
dangers)
"Opium," says Potter (Materia Medlca),
"at first stimulates and afterward de
presses the cerebrum (the chief portion of
the brain), heart and respiratory appara
tus. It kills by paralyzing the respiratory
centers." '
Will Mr. IL I. Burke tell us in what
single case opium cannot be dispensed with
without injury to the patient or physician,?

STILL ALIVE AND KICKING
THE PEOPLE
respective candidates were not counted by
some of tho election boards exclusively
made up of this or that political leader's
adherents. To what extent has this been
done? Whether "proof of fraud" can be
maintained, or whether "omission to count
a few votes" will alter the result or not.
In not tho question to bo decided. -Certain
citizens claim that they havo voted per
fectly legal ballots, and these votes have
not appeared on the face of the returnB. It
seems to me that where such questions arise
It Is tho duty of tho Court not to make
harder, but to make easier the ascertain
ment of tho truth. Voting is not only a
sacred obligation of the voter, but it
should be tho sacred obligation of election
boards nnd election courts to seo that all
votes aro counted.
