HEN either Germany or England discusses its obligations toward this neutral nation, neither seems able to leave the other out of the argument. In one of his latest notes, the British Secretary for Foreign Affairs pointedly remarks: “His Majesty's Government are not aware, except from the Published correspondence between the United States and Ger- many, to what extent reparation has been clatmed from Germany by neutrals for loss of ships, lives and cargoes, nor how far these acts have been the andject even of protest by the neutral Governments concerned. “While these acts of the German Government continue it g@eems neither reasonable nor just that His Majesty's Govern- Ment shoukl be pressed to abandon the rights claimed in the Hl British note of the £34.” Alongeide Sir Edward Grey’s declaration that it is “Incumbent upon the allies to take every step in their power to overcome their common enemy, In view of the shock- {ng violation of the recognized rules and principles of civilised warfare of which he has been guilty during the present strugsic, Read Herr von Jagow’s words in Germany's late “reply”: “Tt is known to the Amerioan Government how Germany's @Aversaries, by completely paralyzing traMc between Germany end neutral countries, have aimed from the very beginning, and with increasing lack of consideration, at the destruction, not @o much of the armed forces as the life of the German nation, Fepudiating in doing so all the rules of international law and Csregarding all rights of neutrals. | 3 “We have been obliged to adopt a submarine warfare to Meet the declared intentions of our enemies and the method of ‘warfare adopted by them in contravention of international law.” We are thus in the position of treating with two belligerents each of whom ia interfering with our neutral rights and each of whom * points to the methods of the othar ae justifying his own infractions} of the rules of international warfare. Moreover, each appears to hint | thet if we can make his opponent mend his ways he may in turn} 'y his own. A delicate position for this nation. Yet our course is plain. ‘We have already sternly! declined to act upon suggestions from Germany that we do her a service by breaking wp England’s blockade. * Oan we do otherwise than meet England’s hints with an equally firm statement—albeit, couched in the same terms of reason and fair- mindedness which make Sir Edward Grey’s messages such a coptras te those that have come from Berlin? This Government has insMted, and we hope it atill insists, that we are contending primarily, not for our profit, but for a principle— that we are upholding the sanctity of international law and the rights of all neutral nations.

OVEMBER SECOND NEXT promises to be a day that calls for appropriate national observance. : On that date the steamship Mongolia, safling from San Beancieco, will be the last merchant vessel to leave that port for the Pacific trade under the American flag. » he Pacific Mail Steamship Company now definitely announces iat this is to be the last voyage of any of its five ships on the Pacific. What will become of ite fifteen million dollare’ worth of vessels is, |» according to the company’s officers, “problematical.” their statement is brief and to the point: “The La Follette Seamen's law goes into effect on Nov. 4, / and as our trans-Pactfic steamships carry American officers and Asiatic crews, they are unable to meet the requirements of the language clause of that law.” To Japan, then, goes the monopoly of the carrying trade of the Pactfic—with the compliments of this nation. *, Will not somebody auggest fitting ceremonies for the sai ng of the Mongolia?

Experts, engineers ‘ and the Street Cleaning Commissioner himself are agreed on this point. If an appropriation of $30,000 can be secured, it is pro- } __ posed to flush the streets by night. Commisisoner Fetherston even bas a scheme of dry-cleaning by sweeper and vacuum machine com- bined which he hopes to apply some day to the whole city. _ It will be a pity, however, if water ever ceases to hold a promi- nent place as a street cleanser. Dust machines are good in their way. But nothing scours the asphalt, carries off the dirt and germs and . treshens the air like a rush of water, whether from the clouds or from 8 hydrant. In Paris a cool current is kept continually flowing along the gut- ters of many streets. during hot weather. to open its hydrants more than it does. Sprinkling the middle of a dusty street undoubtedly produces a thin ooze that causes autos to skid. But there can be nothing against a running stream along the eurb into which dust and dirt can be swept and so carried into the sewer.

"I don't see what you do with all your money,” said Mrs. Jarr peevish- ly. “I @pent it on you, last night, you know,” said Mr. Jarr. “That's right!" excmimed Mrs. Jarr, ‘Take me out once and spend a few dollars on me, and then talk about it for the rest of. your days! You had more money yesterday than you spent on me twice over—and you know it!" We were out “Oh, yes, 1 know It,” said Mr. Jarr wearily. “But if you will remember I gave you $10 yesterday evening.” “What's the good of giving me money, if you take it all away from ain?” asked Mrs, Jarr, “I need no many extra things this week, and there's the gas bill to pay, and the milk bill to pay, and other things.” “Well, I know that,” sald Mr. Jarr. “That's why I gave you the $10; but it won't hurt you much to give me five cents to get downtown, will it? 'To-day'’s pay day. All 1 nee five cents to get down to the office “L haven't broken that $10 bill yet,” grumbled Mrs. Jarr, “And if 1 break it for you, tt will go, and I know it. I try to keep a little money for myself. 1 want to get a new dress. You know how badly 1 am off for a new dress. I'm ashamed to go out in the clothes I have.” “I thought you wanted the $10 to pay bills with,” said Mr, Jarr, “I can let the bills wait,” replied Mrs, Jarr. “It's all the same. If I take this $10 and add a little more to it to get the makings of a dress T'll stilt have the money for the dress after I pay last week's bills out of next week's money; don't you seo?"

Selah, , The Law and Vaccination. UCH discussion has been raised | regarding vaccination. In spite of the fact that since Jenner's discovery the ravages of smallpox have been almost conquered, there are, now and then, cases cited where serious blood poisoning and fll- ness are supposed to result from vaccination. People seem to have actually for- gotten what the horrors of smallpox used to be, and would be again if vaccination were relaxed. Constant vigtlance, however, is the Price of health as well as of liberty, and the cases where serious results seem to follow vaccination are ridic- ulously small in proportion to the cases where no ill effects follow, More than three and a half millions of people have been vaccinated in the Philippine Islands by United States order without a loss of life or limb, and this means a saving there of 6,000 lives every year from smallpox. There is not the slightest risk in vaccination when carried out with clean virus, now guaranteed by Gov- ernment inspection, and when the vaccination is kept clean. “Bad arm: come from dirt getting into the wound—not often from the vaccine itself, Unfavorable results are follow from scratching or rubbing the wound with dirty hands, which introduce infection from without father than from within, Fortunately, the State steps in to control vaccination.
