Although the outcome of the confer- , " ence held here between health officers . of states and the chief of the public health service resulted in a virtual denial of the President’s proclamation of widespread suffering in the south from food shortage and disease, the incident has led to assurance of im- provement in conditions in those states that are involved in the ques- tion. A more perfect co-operation be- tween state and federal authorities is assured. Improvement of state meth- ods of health supervision will follow. “Fbe reaction of tke southern cotton states to the suggestion that famine and pellagra were unusually preva- { lent was immediate and indignant. Tt was felt that an injustice had been done to that section to state to the country that the people there were Jacking in food and sanitary attention. Denials came quickly and emphat- ically. Then the sensible thing was © done—a meeting of all regponsible for the situatien, to find out the facts, was called. Out of that conference has come the present clear understanding of the case. Probably the difficulty abou this mis- understanding has been the diffgrence in pomtsAf view. Undernourishment and disease prevalence have been somewhat chronic in certain sections and have become accepted as a nat- wral condition. - Pellagra has, as it were, established itself as a regional disease incident to malnutrition. Pres- ident Harding has, on the basis of re- ports laid before him, focused atten- tion upon this condition in ‘a way to make it clear, though perhaps dispro- portionately. With all the state organizations working together and in harmony with the public heaith service, prog- ress can be made toward reducing the twin evils of underfeeding and pella- gra. A perfect understanding has been effected, asperities have been softened and fears that the federal au- thority was to be extended arbitrarily into the state jurisdictions to grapple with strictly domestic questions have been allayed. The southern states say they do not need funds, but if at any time the situation in any one of the states becomes such as to call for ma- terial aid it will be forthcoming abun- gantly. The Flag in Porto Rico. Gov. Reily, emphasizing a state- - ment he made the other day in his inaugural address, tells the people of Porto Rico that Old Glory is there to They would do well to heed what he says. At any rate, the present is far from being a propitious time to aj tate for early or immediate independ- ence for the island. Uncle Sam is in control, and giving the people good government. The world is still much disturbed as the result of the war, ana S . we are sharing in the gisturbance. Naturally, until matters are stable again, we shall not be in condition or disposed to consider a question look- ing to so great a change in our affairs as would be the establishing of an Independent government in what is now American territory. Cuba is in straits, and looking to us for assistance. Gen. Crowder is on the scene advising as to what should be dope. As the result of native management of the finances, the Philippines are In straits, and Congress has just re- sponded favorably to an appeal for help. Gen. Leonard Wood is on the scene by direction of the President in- vestigating the whole situation, and especially as respects an agitation in the islands for independence. ‘With these cases in tne foreground, wunsettled and disturbing, it is any- thing but likely that this agitation in Porto Rico for independence can ac- complish anything bevond advertising the agitators. —_———— 7 Caruso’s wonderful career is a refu- tation of the belief, more or less en- couraged abroad, that America is not ¢ @ music-loving nation. $ In a few months the hot weather pessimist will be shuddering in fear of tke cold, wave flag. ————— The Burean Dismissals. A novel question has been raised in connection with the dismissal from the bureau of engraving and printing of some 600 employes under an order to reduce the force. In anticipation of this reduction, the director of the ‘bureau summoned a conference of di- wision chiefs and a memorandum was adopted, it is now averred, setting forth the manner g which the selec- : tions for dismissals Were to be made. . It is now the complaint of some of ~ those discharged that this memoran- '\ . €dum established a process of selection that is contrary to the spirit of the “lthe minimum alternative imprison- employes who, however efficlent they may be, have been personally under ban of displeasure. It would surely seem that the inclusion of these two factors is unwarranted. Retention in the service when the time comes for a reduction of forces should be determined solely 'by effi- ciency and not by personal considera- tions. If there are factional troubles in the bureau of engraving and print- ing, due perhaps to delay in the ap- pointment of a new chief—if a new that the whole question of the per- sonnel should be considered by the head of the department before whole- sale discharges take place. It the principle of dismissal oft the ground of “agitation and troublemak- ing” is to be applied throughout the departments in effecting the reduc- tions that are in process, there will be much favoritism and probably a con- siderable loss of administrative effi- ‘ciency. For the terms used in the bureau memorandum are unsafely elastic, and no matter how high the efficiency of an individual may be, it can be negatived by citation of the “troublemaking” clause. Controller Crissinger’s committee w:ill doubtless consider the whole ques- tion carefully, and if injustice has been done in the dismissal of these hiureau employes he will doubtless cor rect it by ordering their reinstatement and a revision of the lists. Of course, it is in the circumstances merely a question of who is to go. From the point of view of the department, the main consideration is to retain in the bureau service those who are most (':lpal)le of producing the work prompt- 1y and effectively and economically. Traffic Cases and Collateral. A controversy has developed be- tween Commissioner Oyster and Judge McMahon of the Police Court bearing on the question of the prosecution of traffic latv violators in that court. The Commissioner had complained of lack of co-operation by the court, and the judge now declares that there has been no lack of ce-operation, but, on the contrary a failure on the part of the polide to bring the cases to court. In this question is involved the old matter of the taking of collateral for violations of police regulations. Judge McMahon states that during the months of May and June only sixty- seven cases actually came befol® the FPolice Court judges for trial, although Commissioner Oyster states that 1,439 arrests were made in that time for traffic violation. Presumably, as the judge points out, 1,372 speeders and other rule breakers were permitted to go without trial on deposit of collat- eral. In other words, the police de- partment assessed and collected the fines in more than 95 per cent of the cases, leaving only 5 per cent to the court. Under the law. which Judge Me- Mahon cites, collateral is taken at po- lice statdns as security for the ap- pearance in court for trial of those arrested. It is supposed to be a cash bond, not a fine. Its forfeiture for non-appearance in court should be followed by the rearrest of the per- son thus evading trial and his physi- cal presentation in court. At present the collateral scales are not fixed, but are variable with the precincts and the temperaments of the officers in charge. Furthermore, there is no assurance of cumulative penal- ties in cases of repeated violations, whereas under the act of June 29, 1906, the court is compelled to take cognizance of repetitions of offense, the” minimum fines for three succes- sive’ violations being $5, $10 and $5( the maximum fines $50, $100 and $25! ments for second and third offenses five days and thirty days and the maximum thirty days and six motnhs, respectively. In taking collateral and making no effort to rearrest those who forfeit the police department is practically repealing the statute of 1906, which thus penalizes repetitions. In this Judge McMahon is perfectly justified in his protest against criticism of the court from any quarter on the score of lack of co-gperation. If only 5 per cent of the cases reach that court and per cent are disposed of by the po- fee directly, assuredly the responsi- Lility rests with the latter. And all of this goes to prove the need of traffic court, before which every violator is taken without col- lateral forfeiting and with an assur- ance of increasing penalties for repe- tition and habitual violations of the law. —_———— .

Incidentally, e pugilist chgmpion becomes a motioh-picture star with whom no manager is likely to venture too far in quarreling about salary.

It is charged that large numbers of Germans are shipping at ports of that country on American-bound vessels as seamen at wages of 1 cent a month order todeach the United States. ‘When they land here they abandon their shfps and make their way into the interior of the country. This is illey inasmuch as, although a state civil service law, inasmpuch as it In-|of ice has been declared by act of cludes in the range of those chosen for dismissal “employes, regardless of terms of scrvice, whose records are i tion to duty, tardiness, excessive loss " of time, agitators and troublemakers. The burden of the complaint which the Treasury, who heads a special personnek grievance committee, rests . upon the last two items, “agitators and troublemakers.” This, it is urged, .

Furthermore, this is in effect an has been filed with the controller of Congress, the United States has no treaty with Germany and she is tech- nically still a potentially enemy coun- evasion of the immigration barrier. What is needed is a new law requiring the registration upon arrival in this couqtry of all foretgn seamen. They should be required to give a reason before a magistrate for their failure to return on the ship on which they have made their way here. 4 “Normally a steamship company does how he happened not to catch e.
