THE PUBLIC VOICE TOO FAINT. RESENT discussion of strikes and industrial problems needs i more place for the views of the average citizen. Strikes hit him hardest. He thinks about them, arrives at sound, sane conclusions regarding them. He ¢hould be encour- aged to come forward with his thoughts and his conclusions. The Public attitude toward strikes means HIS attitude, He IS the public. A Jersey commuter has just written to the President of the Erie Railroad a letter from which we take the following: “The Erie trains have been used by myself and family for over seventeen years. We also used the ferryboats of the Erie Railroad and during those years suffered no material delay beyond that caused by fog and ice, Always the boats ran on a schedule—at times slow—but yet in operation. “Three times since Jan. 1, 1919, the ferryboat schedule of the Erie has been abandoned. 1 notice some of the men are on the boats who were on them seventeen years ago. Can you inform me why the crews on these ferryboats, after seventeen years constant service, suddenly became rank strikers and struck? Have they forgotten their duty to their fellow citi- zens? Are the conditions under Government control go much ‘worse than they were on Jan. 1, 1919, that men must strike? “My opinion is that the trouble is with Government control. These men have lost pride in their vocation. They have lost the sense of obligation to the public. They are certainly out of touch with their officers when they strike three times In ten months. “Some of us thought that Government control, and ultl- mately Government ownership, was the solution of our troubles. ’ ’ ee ernment n EDITORIAL PAGE | | | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1919 i" The Doc.

Since Government control nothing but trouble has been our lot. The same cars, the same engines, the same conductors, the same boats and the same boat crews give a service that is of marked inferiority to that given before, “Can you pity our deplorable state and guggest a remedy? My remedy would be for the United States Railroad Adminis- tration to requisition engineers and workers from the navy yards and give the public who pay the bitls a chance to follow their lawful vocations and earn their daily bread. “My hope is that, should the officers formerly in charge of the Erie Railroad get another chance, they will record the fact that three times during the year 1919 with two months yet to run, the Erie ferry service was entirely abandoned; that United States mails and the United States Railway Express, which carries much food to suburban points, were wholly stopped, and that citizens of the United States were deprived of transportation they had paid for in advance to take them from their homes to their work and back.” Thus one commuter. , Ifevena million other commuters—known to bé voters also— @m a score of the country’s railroads became similarly articulate id it fail to have a marked effect upon the attitude of the Nation’s : rs toward the Nation’s railroad problem and upon their ‘alacrity in getting around to it? ' » And if ten million average citizens were to express their plain, Ynprejudiced but forceful views of certain current strikes could it fail to put at least some curb on the overreaching arrogance of certain of labor? | More of the public voice would greatly help to mend the present Gajointed times. { “ o- ™ eee eae ee ew a 1 Oe ee AGAINST POLICE UNIONS.

Small-pox a Dread Disease. ‘ Before the era of vaccination smali- Dex was ono of the most prevalent diseases, Now it is almost unknown of small-pox in England in former centuries was so severe that it killed thousands in London alone when it became epidemic every few years. Wut the full virulance of this horrid disease can only be measured when it appears in a country which had been free from it. When it was brought to this country by the early settlers it wiped out whole tribes of Indians, and in Mexico it is said to have swept over the land like fire ever a prairie, and so great was the number of those who died that there were none left to bury them decently. Custom Comes From Near East. For centuries in the East it was known that a mild attack of the dis- eave could be produced by taking some of the matter from a case of small-pox and inserting it in a minute incision in the skin. We do not know when innoculation first started, per- haps in Circassia, but the practice prevailed among the Arabs and his- tory tells us that the appearance of the dread disease was announced by a public crier, so that those who de- sired could have their children in- oculated. To the genius of Dr. Edward Jen- ner, who was born in 1749, the world is indebted for vaccination practically as employed to-day. He discoverel that by inoculating human belngs with the virus of cowpox they are rendered immune against small-pox. He believed that he had discovered “an antklote capable of extirpating from the earth a disease which is every hour devouring its victime— ja disease that has been considered the severest scourge of the human race.” This view had to be modified be~ cause of the exceeding virulence of the poison of small-pox whereby lfe~ long immunity is only-rendered upon vaccination and revaccination; that is to say, if a community is to be fortified against this dl habitants must be rev stated period d such precautions taken to quarantine suspected cases as to render the spread of the disease practically nil | 1 “When Royalty Calls” OW that these democratic, plebe- N ian shores of ours are again re- ceiving royal visitors, we read on all sides how those favored to come within the charmed circle are to act, what are they to say or to do in the presence of their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians or His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, We who are ignorant of the correct How It Star By Hermine t e d sustadth man, And from these primitive in- flections of voice gradually evolved melody as we recognize it to-day, Historic testimony taat song, the first music, began in the mere in- tonations of speech which at a period jin the development of mankind were | the only music Known, is supplied by the old Neume notation, This is @ series of marks similar to Greck ac- cents, placed over vowels to indicate the intervals, up or down, at which the volce should be inflected. ‘The inflections were employed par- in the civilized world.
