AY 8 good word fdr the City of New York. S It has had a needlessly hard summer. An infantile peraly- sis scare magnified to the point of panic has put cruel restraints | upon ite children and terrorized their elders. Thousands of New! York youngsters in perfect health have been shut up in the hot city, barred at railway stations, hunted out of boats, trains and automobiles on suburban routes, shunned and persecuted as carriers of disease and death. Parents who sent their children earlier to the country or sea- shore have found it difficult to get them back. Many persons who had planned to visit New York this season have given it up because they feared to bring the younger members of the family. Even now, with the scare well over, tle hotels of the city are practically childless. With the rapid wane of the epidemic, New Yorkers, and the rest of the country as wel!, ought to begin to see the facts cleared of ex- aggerations. Paralysis cases notwithstanding, the total death rate | for the city this summer has been exceptionally low. Nor will it ever be known how many ordinary ailments have been diagnosed through professional uncertainty cr overzeal as infantile paralysis. The ap- proach of Sept. 1 finds the city’s general health unusually good. On| thet score there is no reason why any one should keep away from it. Nor is its moral state either dangerous or disturbing. Current publicity accorded to investigations of the so-called “white slave | traffic” has turned a searchlight for the moment upon dark and sordid conditions. These condit'cns exist in every large city. In New York | they are neither as bad nor as boldly supported as they used to be. | Official figures for the past year show a substantial decrease in| crimes of violence and the eame is true of burglaries and other major | thefte. Police protection was never better. Persons living in or visiting New York have lees than ever to fear from vice and crime so long as they behave themselves. New York is sti!l a comfortable and Realthy home for millions of | people who live clean and decent lives, It is still a safe resort for) travellers who do not deliberately scek out its perils.
