The organ-| ization at the City Hall was too strong for the independent taxpayers’ organization. It was a clean sweep for the Len- hart ticket and assures the present organization complete sway for the next few years. The Tribune has no apologies to make for the educational | campaign it conducted during the last few weeks. Evi- dently the voters who had interest enough to go to the polis Tuesday do not want tax retrenchment in city affairs. They! were not aroused upon the issue. { In some of the heavy taxpaying sections of the city, the vote reflected a decided protest against increased taxation and lax methods at the city hall. It is to be hoped that the facts disclosed during the cam- | paign will result in changes in the conduct of the cit ’s| affairs. Residents did not seem to care. Those who had a personal interest in the election worked hard and long to maintain their control. There is nothing to do but to bow to the will of the ma- jority. Harry Thompson without funds, without an organization | put up a brave fight in the interest of lower taxes. | Br The people voted for a policy of expansion and increased public expenditures. It is to be hoped.. however, that the new regime will move cautiously as a result of the analy of city finances that has been made. The necessity for equalization of taxes re- mains as apparent as ever. Mayor Lenhart and his associates can well direct them selves to a more equal distribution of taxation. SUPERIOR” FAMILIES The Birth Control Conference held in New York sprung at least one new idea. It urged the raising of large families, as a news dispatch reports it, “among persons of superior stock.” In the actual words of the resolution adopted, “The con- ference believes that persons whose progeny gives promise of being of decided value to the community should be en- couraged to bear as large families as they feel they feasibly can.” Everybody will agree to this “in principle.’ Everybody who thinks at all about human problems prefers large fam- ilies of good stock to large families of poor stock among human beings as among domestic animals. The difficulty comes in applying the principle. This, of course, is and will remain a personal and pri vate matter. In so far as any control of the number of human offspring is feasible, among people not obviously imbecile, criminal or hopelessly diseased, it is going to con- tinue with the parents themselves. And -where are the men and women, in this blessed land at least, who do not consider themselves “superior” persons who would confer a benefit on society by providing more like themselves? SETAE coi hes sad ee gd one It would take a Solomon to decide with unfailing wisdom | what stock is “‘of decided value to the community” and what | stock is not. The so-called “better classes” or “upper classes” | do not necessarily produce children of better average intelli- gence, character and physique than the classes below them. Children from the lower levels are often surprisingly useful to society. If any stock may be considered of more value to , the community than any other, it is probably ‘middle class” | stock. | BIG TOURING SEASO. Everything points to the biggest motor touring season yet, say officers of automobile clubs. Already they are de- luged with inquiries about routes. It begins to look as if almost everybody with a car will be going somewhere else. Tourists in one section naturally want to visit other sec- tions. The east goes West and the West goes East. The “North goes South and the South goes North. No section of the country with passable roads is neglected, though the ==biggest caravans are found in the regions of the best roads and the finest scenery and historic associations. Neighboring countries are not neglected.. From inquir- ies, it is evident that more people from the States will visit Canada this year thar ever before, penetrating not merely into the border provinces but much farther north as the roads improve. Mexico as yet draws little tourist traffic, but will be a powerful attraction as soon as it provides good trunk highways. Eventually—and the time is not far distant, either—any American with a car capable of running and a little spare time and money will have the range of two great continents, with their unsurpassed scenery and varied civilization, all the way from Bering Strait to Magellan Strait. SILOS IN. THE GROUND Farmers in Benson County, North Dakota, are building silos underground instead of up in the air, and find they work very well. “Trench silos” they call them. Construc- tion is simple, though laborious. The trenches are coverei | with timbers, with wire and straw on top. Among their various merits, they keep the silage from freezing. One such silo made last year is 92 feet, long. It looks like a good idea, but it is not so new as the Dakotans think. Trench silos have been used in the South Sea Islands from time immemorial, for the storage of human food. Frederick O’Brien, in his “White Shadows of the South Seas,” tells how the natives dig trenches in the earth, line them with banana leaves and fill them with breadfruit, leaving it there for fermentation and storage exactly as the American farmer handles silage crops for his cattle. The first sign of spring, as we warnedslast year, isn’t |who have come through the year that one crop is not always a sure crop, either in yield or price.

But not of the Permanent Court of International Justice. That is exactly why it was made “perma- nent.” | WHERE IS THE HOWL OF PROTEST NOW? They are sending more diph- theria antitoxin to Nome, and te- tanus and gas gangrene serum to the tornado districts, Why do we not hear the howl of protest? If we sent only Catholic priests, or Methodist preachers, to administer consolation to the dying, we shuld be charged, justly, with sectarlan- ism. If the healing art is likewise | divided into sects, each with its dog- mas and articles of faith, the same thing follows. We would have no right to confine our public relief to the tenets of a particular cult. We should inquire f each victim of gangrene to which h” his particular pus was to be assigned, and then, according to his sect, treat him with serum. calomel, bee-stings, a billionth of a drop of | belladonna, or by osteopathic, chiro- pathic, spondylthumpic or astro- | psychic manipulation. These conclusions follow by irre- futable logic from the original as- sumption—that the healing art, like religion, is divided into sects. The fallacy is in this assumption itself. POPULAR OBSERVATION CAUSED SCIENCE TO LEARN TRUTH One of these diseases, by the way, against which the serum is being used, well illustrates the difference between scientific and popular ob: servation. That is tetanus, or “lockjaw.” We g}l heard, in our youth, that lock- {Jaw was caused chiefly by stepping on rusty nails.. Which was quite correct, so far as it went. Most of the actual cases, in each neighbor- | hood, did follow just this injury. Curiously, they did not follow open rips or “tears even from rusty nails, nor cuts from other rusty things. Still, we attributed it to the rust, or to the pain of the deep puncture. Now it is known that it was not the rust or pain, and not necessarily even the dirt, that did it. Nervousness and nervous break- downs are forms of mental disorders, ‘Mrs. Jones learned. Yet there are few people, suffer- jing from nervous trouble, who will ‘admit that the seat of their trouble is in their minds. The technical name of these ner- vous disorders is psychoneuroses, and mong the psychoneurotic are found those individuals who con- tribute so largely to the discomfort, distress and unhappiness of many es. who chron- Hy enjoy “ill health.” They are not all even Europeans. FABLES ON HEALTH IMAGINARY ILLNESS | In that case, Senator Borah should come out for the ex- now organized. For this is its no more beholders to the “for- is Chief Justice Taft to the gov- to the ghost of President Har- One of the most dis- Which European foreign office “dominates” him? The possibility of domination might be The tetanus germs are found in the soil. Most rusty nails have been lying on the ground. But these gernes witl not grow in the presence of air. An open wound is, therefore, ordi- narily safe from them, even if in- fected. A deep, small puncture, diffiéult to clean to the bottom and protected from the air, is an ideal incubator. The rusty nail, stepped on, fur- nished these conditions better than any othex ordinary accident. Popular observation noted the fact. Scien- tific observation ascertained the truth, REASSIGNMENT OF GOVERNMENT BUREAUS IS NECESSARY Announcement is made of the transfer of the patent office from the Interior to the Commerce Depart- ment. This is, let us hope, only the first step in a general reassignment of bureaus to their proper depart- ments. Our executive departments, like Topsy, have “jes’ growed.” The Interior Department, especially, has been a sort of “omnium gatherum” of whatever did not happen to go anywhere else. But the rest are bad enough. A reorganization of the whole system has been advocated by every president, at least since Taft. Now there is a chance that, under Coolidge, it will be done. BUDGET ALONE.CAN NOT Vv BRIDGE DEPARTMENTS _And when it is done, let one more thing be added thereunto. It is not enough to improve the relation of the executive departments to each other. The lack of relation of the whole executive branch to the legis- lative branch is even worse. It'is the most unscientific and the least practical in the world. The aloofness has been bridged, in a way, by the budget. But the budget will become either unworkable or unsafe unless a further relation ce wit the heads of departments legislation be made open and sponsible, instead of responsible, as it now is. In other words, let them speak and be questioned, openly, in Con- gress, as is the case with the cor- responding officials’ in practically everv other free government in the world, Mrs. Jones remembered a woman, living on another street. All her acquaintances _ strongly believed that her physical health was almost perfect, to say the least. Yet ‘when they would meet her, they would ask her how’ she was feeling und invariably the answer was the same: “awfully bad, today. That pain just gets worse ‘and worse.” This woman would have been highly insulted if some one had, told her that nothing was wrong, “and her mind only. and ‘begins to play tricks with it. I have no doubt the name of the place will have to be changed to Sneezer Town.” Nancy and Nick sat quite still while the little aeroplane whizzed along through the sky: The little fairy ‘aviator certainly knew how to run it, He made it turn somersaults and bank (that means to fly slanting) and glide and do ‘tail spins and rose dives and everything an aeroplane knows how to do. But the Twins never moved, They just held on tight and enjoyed them- selves. They knew that the magic shoes were as good as a parachute if anything happened. Suddenly Mister Whizz shut off earth. “We're there!” he said. “Below us heads live. We will soon know if Snitcher Snatch is here playing tricks with the magic. snuff.” “ Ts’ it called magic snuff?” asked Nancy. his engine and glided down to the; motivations of men than they ever is Snoozer Town where the Sleepy- nothing of what moves a woman, why of the fellows of my acduaintance— yes, even you.
