Whitman docs his part as a public servant in upholding the dignity of the law and of the State. By a surprising number of persons in public ae well as private life the State’s authority is apparently deemed unworthy of reapect— even the respect of silence. We are not aware that the State is on trial or its sovereignty questioned, That the carrying out of its sentence upon Becker should become an occasion for jail officers to lift their voices against the law they have taken oath to execute, for guardians of the public safety to constitute themselves conspicuous mourners at the funeral of » man whose life was deemed incompatible with public safety, for individuals holding high position in business and professional circles of the State to cast deliberate reflection and insult upon the State’s vexercise of its protective function—all this points to deplorable weak- ness in our legal system. When men convicted of murder are executed six weeks after— it is so managed in England—protests are rare. The longer a crimi- fial is able to fight the law, the more will public sympathy of an hysterical sort fight with him. Surely there can be no reason why our law should go on forever inviting by its delays the disrespect from which it suffers. Nor need it, when it has finally judged and executed a murderer, further weakex its authority by surrendering the body to become the object of another outburst of hysteria and morbid sympathy. \ a a HE utterly uncalled-for panic that imperilled 1,700 lives on the i steamer Grand Republic off Coney Island is a reminder of the cruel consequences one thoughtless, excited person can produce. A man raised his voice in a quarrel, a girl screamed, and a moment later a boat load of excursionists—the Eastland disaster in every mind—were trampling each other in a mad rush for life pre- servers. And nothing whatever was wro.ig with the steamer. A crowd is always near the edge of hysteria. It needs only a shove from somebody to push it over. In hot weather nerves are worn, bodies tired, self-restraint relaxed. On crowded steamers par- ticularly individuals ought to remember that a cry, a scuffle, even loud talk may cause dire results. Under the beat conditions no crowd on an excursion steamer ought to be left wholly to itself. Testimony goes to show that when the trouble first began on the Grand Republic nee of the ship’s officers or deck-hands could be seen in any part of the boat. A uniform, a word of authority, or even a bit of blarney, Wotild have allayed the excitement. All summer steamboate carrying heavy loads of passengers should be compelled to keep employees constantly on duty on every deck to extinguish panics at the first flicker, eS Oa WORDS WON’T WORK.

HE practice of inoculation for smallpox seems to have been known in the Orient from tim immemorial. The serum was taken from the sore of some person who! had smallpox and this was put into| the blood of a well person. The lat- ter would then have a mild case of! smallpox and would not have the disease again. This was the custom that Lady Mary Montague introduced into Europe from Turkey in the eighteenth century. It was a hazardous act and to be; used only as an alternative to actual! loss of life or eyesight; every one! kno how Edward Jenner, the Eng- lishman, changed all this and intro- duced vaccination in its place. He observed that milkmaids often contracted a very mild form of the disease by milking cows that had the cowpox, After once having had this mild type of the disease the maids did | not contract smallpox. After nearly twenty years of ob- servation and study Jenner obtained his virus direct from the cow instead of from a person, and introduced that into the human body. The result was that the spot where the virus was placed developed as our vaccination does—the person had a slight fever— made a rapid recovery, and upon be- ing exposed to smallpox did not} take it. | ‘Thus began the institution of vacct- nation, one of the greatest blessings to humanity—cutting down smallpox from a terrible scourge claiming hun- Copyright, 1916, by The I'rem Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World), a ate kiss which a man remembers lougest is the kiss he couldn’t get.

Germany, which is the most thor- oughly vaccinated and revaccinated country in Christendom, in 1918 had ‘barely two dozen deaths from small- pox among her 65,000,000 population.

Thus the process needs to be repeated. There is a marked differ- ence between vaccine and antitoxin. The first, introduced into the body, produces the result of a mild attack of the disease and protects against further atacks of the same disease. It is preventive but not curative cannot be used after the disease 13 begun.
