Washington must now be a noisy place, with all those lame ducks quacking. Surely there Is nothing sinister in Dr. Wiley's Insistence that we eat more egg. Still, many an oyster that Is called a blue point is going under an as sumed name. The Memphis Appeal asks, "Is hell a stats of mind?" Referred to the Houston Post. "Owosso." It ia a town in Mich igan, 'but it sounds like a German calling for a chaser. That last .hard . times Interview looked so bad in print that even Mr. Hill went back on it. Tom Watson must have- been stricken deaf and dumb. He has can celled a speaking date. When Battling Kelson was licked for the third time, Mr. Bryan might have wired, "Same here." New York papers claim that a new fast mall service makes Philadelphia one of Gotham's most desirable suburbs. ' i " Perhaps if Mr. Hill would adopt the Carnegie and Rockefeller plan of giv ing' away his money he would feel more cheerful. The Detroit News proposes the novel form of city government, "By the people, and not the corporations." Wake us up on time. The decision to call all New Jersey saloons cafes after the first ot the year is probably to soften the blow for Governor-elect Wilson. Mr. Hill says that when he told President Taft of the approaching panto the president almost questioned nla sincerity. Can you blame him? "Mr. Victor Berger keeps on talk ing," obse&es the Philadelphia In quirer. Why, certainly, what do you suppose he was elected to congress for? The result of the recent election in Indiana served to freshen the public's mind on the name of the man who fought the 'Third Battle" with W. J, B. Rev. Mr. Aked ot New York says that but for the women there would not be a church In the land. He probably has asked something of a woman and is still awaiting the answer. A New xora woman nas issued a strong challenge of the Apostle Paul's power as a logician. She must be luffragette.' for it was Paul who said 'hat women should keep silent in churches and let the men do the talking. Criticising President Taft because he lives in a political atmosphere, James J. Hill asks, "Why not get business men to accent office T" AU right we nominate the chairman of the board of directors of the Northern Pacific and Gnat Northern ratlwava for cresl- The Expert Civic Doctor. St. Taul has awaked to the fact that it has its halo on wrong. Things have been going awry in so many de partments of Its civic life that it has raised the distress sign and sent out an emergency call for help. It is not certain Just what Is the matter. That is the rub. It wants these expert civic doctors to determine that for It. Among those called in to administer to the city's ills Is a woman who has got herself noted as an expert in tak ing the kinks out of municipal indiges tion, and to her the city handed a thousand dollars. Now the good woman has passed on to other fields of financial conquest and, behold, her Saintly patient is still not a whit better off than before It took her medicine. At least, that is the inference of a letter addressed to one of the St. Paul newspapers by a citizen who evidently did not get iff the hurrah bandwagon. This citizen agrees with the paper that "ultimate benefit" will result from the feminine expert's visit, but it will be chiefly tffa benefit she feels in that thousand dol lars. St. Paul will not feel any. St. Paul may be upside down as a city; we do not know. We had always imagined It was a well-governed, pro gressive, pretty place, and certainly In the last ten years it has made an ex cellent showing in population. But if it is as thoroughly diseased clvicly as some of its papers would lead one to suppose, then, of course, it is time for treatment. But St. Paul is just like a few other cities that have gone wrong on this civic expert fake. It is trying to shift from the shoulders of its own citizens a duty which only they can perform. There are enough hard-headed men and women in St. Paul to determine precisely what ails the city and prescribe and administer the proper remedy. The sane, practi cal citizens of any city are far better qualified to do this sort of thing than all the outside civic doctors that ever peddled their quack nostrums. Most of these people have figured out a cute way to make an easy living, and go from place to place reaping their harvests. There are a few who by careful study of municipal government have acquired the right of expert opinion, but even they are not as a rule as capable of meeting the imme diate needs of a clly as the thorough going citizens of that community, who know its needs by years of practical contact and who are wrapt up in its welfare, vitally concerned in doing what will promote it , The Modern Parmer. Inquiry is occasionally heard from the unduly curious as to what has be come of .the old-fashioned woman and old-fashioned man, who did things in ways that, have been forgotten by peo ple of today. They have g one to join the candle-molds our mothers used and the crinolines they wore, and the old-fashioned farmer who tilled his soil by rule of thumb and returned thanks to a bountiful Providence for whatever crop he might harvest. The farmer of today is no more like his progenitor than is the modern city man like the troglodyte. With his soli-testing and his seed-testing, his knowledge of chemistry and bacteriol ogy, his gasoline engines and electric appliances, his automobiles and his telephones, the farmer of today is more truly a sclentlflo manufacturer than many of the men who are the heads of institutions filled with intri cate machinery. The modern farmer plants and reaps with an exactitude of purpose and a certainty of result that admits of no dispute. He breeds his grains and grasses, his fruits and flowers, Just as he breeds his farm animals, and with the sole purpose of continually im proving the strain, increasing the yield and advancing the general result If the farmer's position and impor tance to society baa been misunder stood by the poor city toller It is not the farmer's fault It is time, how ever, for the city man to wake up to an understanding realization of the fact that the farmer to today is a scientific gentleman of such quality that he rightly holds his position fairly at the head of our wealth producers. The National Spirit in Canada. Canada has taken another decisive step toward Independence in prepar ing to build ten new warships. Pro visional governments do not as a rule expend their own money in sums oH $10,000,000 for navies for the mother countries. For that matter, when the Dominion let contracts some time ago for two vessels and Britain com mended its spirit of loyalty to the crown, the Canadian premier quickly disillusioned the proud Mr. Bull with the simple statement that those war ships were for Canada, not England, and that they would remain in Cana dian docks until required to defend Canadian interests. They would be sent to the relief of England, he de clared, only when the same power that threatened British safety also menaced Canada. That was a very plain way of put ting the fact that Canada had decided to begin preparations for a separate government. Since then the national spirit haa been growing and spreading, until today it is general through the vast domain. IX would be unnatural for events to shape themselves differ ently. Separated by the broad ex panse of the Atlantic, with natural resources of untold wealth, opportuni ties as great as ever lay within the grasp of a young people, Canada could not be expected long to maintain Us subjection to the British crown with nothing stronger than sentimental tir to bind It. Some very strong men have come up from Canadian environ ments. They are the kind of men who are not going to be content with anything short of sovereignty In their own right. Moreover, the physical development of Casada demands a separate government. The powers of Britain neither know nor care enough about conditions out here In this hem isphere to direct the progress of this province. In the end we believe the example and influence of the American repub lic will be found to have counted as much as any other one extraneous fac tor in the evolution of Canadian Inde pendence. Canada Is a proud coun try. Its people are ambitious and progressive. They are Jealous In a wholesome way of American thrift and industry. All this hns had Its results as now manifested in this national spirit. It is a case of the power of environment conquering that of hered ity, a survival of the fittest, we may say. ; Virtue of Organized Wealth. A writer in an eastern paper makes Mr. Carnegie's seventy-third anniver sary the occasion for a severe arraign ment of large aggregation of wealth by a single individual. He points de risively to Mr. Carnegie's benefactions of late years and asks, "But why did not he and Rockefeller and a fSw other multl-milllonalres begin twenty or twenty-five years ago to give away their wealth?" It may be a selfish view, but we of this generation, including our friend, the critic, may be glad that they did not begin that long ago to dispose of their money, for if they had they would not have much to give away today. The Rockefeller and Carnegie millions are serving humanity in its highest needs Just now and, owing to the wise, far-seeing provisions made for their distribution, will . continue for years and years to come with this kind of service. Schools, colleges, churches and hospitals have been and are being, erected and thrown open to public patronage. This wealth is giv ing ua the key to problems that have perplexed and baffled the race always. It is solving them In the interest of humanity. It is promoting the science of life in many of its most Important phases. The broadest view of the situation cannot be brought into harmony with this criticism. Aggregations of wealth are bad only, when made so by their abuse, or the abuse of the vast powers that go with them. They have equally as great potency for good. We could not if we would, do without them, and we certainly would not if we could. This is the day of organiza tion. This is the time when we are conserving powers of all kinds to get the most out -of them. We ned, therefore, to have centralized wealth. Of course, we 'must see to it, as far as possible, that this centralized wealth does not become oppressive to weaker Interests. That is the prime danger of it Properly regulated and admin istered, it becomes one of the greatest blessings of earth. War on Disease. Letters passing back and forth bear ing the Red Cross Christmas seal of the Society for the Study and Preven tion of Tuberculosis, like Christmas, itself, remind ua of what we ought to be during the whole year round. The war against preventable disease has never received the serious considera tion and support it should have. Some few earnest persons, thinkers and philanthropists, have given much of their time to the end that mankind may have an opportunity, at least, for betterment In this regard, but so far they have been as a voice crying in the wilderness. The great multitude has gone its heedless way, continually dis regarding ordinary rules of cleanliness and decency, with the result that dis ease in its most terrible form still ravages the race. When it is remem bered that the most prevalent and costly of the ills that afflict mankind my be prevented, and in time possibly eradicated, by the observance of some simple common-sense rules that in themselves appeal directly to the esthetic side of man's nature, the ab surdity of the situation would be laughable if it were not so serious. Man's misfortunes are today almost entirely due to his own carelessness. In another part of The Bee this morning will be found a paper by Colonel Bannister of the United States medical corps, in which be makes some simple suggestions for the sanitation of the question will show that Dr. Bannister is so comprehensive that it may strike the casual observer as be ing too complicated and too costly for practical application. A little study of the quetalon will show that Dr. Bannister's suggestions are not only intensely practical, but are entirely feasible. If the cost is to be taken Into consideration the question may well be asked, To what better purpose can public money be spent than in the protection of public health? The con tamination of the general Water supply through sewage has long been repre hended and the tide ot thought is set ting strongly in the direction of a more scientific method of disposing of the city's waste, and especially that part of it which is certain to breed disease, Omaha presents a notable example of the expenditure of large sums of money in overcoming natural obstacles for the purpose ot discharging sewage into a river that must furnish water for general domestic purposes for cities further down the stream. Omaha, In turn, suffers from the existence of cities higher up the river. When It is recalled that a septic-tank system can be installed at a very low cost, the wonder excited by the rnrelessnets of custom is only equalled by the wonder that we have so long escaped the calamitous visitation invited by the prsctice. More attention to public health and better means for safe guarding the citizens in this way must bo adopted, and serious consideration cannot be given the question too soon. Th; i'uv.tr of ieace. The conquering arm of war Is not the one on which the venerable Diaz leans for chief support as for the eighth time he assumes the presidency of Mexico. I The power of peace is his stay now. Militarism is a broken reed, even with this old warrior who wrested authority in the first place from another grim general of many battles. In his felicitous address to the representatives of other nations President Diaz reavows his- faith In the permanent stability and prosperity of the Mexican republic, not because of its military prowess, but because It Is at peace with other countries. The man who for a third of a cen tury has guided the affairs of Mexico knows what he says of her progress Is true, and knows better than anyone else what that progress has cost. But since he and Santa Ana first met a new day has dawned and the power of peace, not war, supplies the sinews of national growth and greatness." Mex ico may have her little revolts at home, but so long as she is led by one j as wise aa uiaz sue win ao ner utmost to avoid international strife. She has enough control of her hot Latin pas sions to guarantee that. And even in this latest civil turmoil we see for the first time in Mexico's history the white! flag of conciliation raised by the gov ernment to the insurgents. It is only another manifestation of the peace policy of Diaz, a concession to vested property rights whose interests are impaired, not improved, by war. It is a debatable question whether Diaz's long rule has been, best for Mex ico, but it is not open to question that Diaz, a man of natural strength and wisdom, has done for his country what, perhaps, no other man of his time could have done better. To be sure. he has not overlooked th enria nf hia personal ambition and he has been Mexico impersonated, but whether or not that has been worse for Mexico than would have been a rotary system of rulers is a matter which, we believe, can be better determined after Diaz has passed away and Dlazism has been tested by time and the influence of his successors. Certain It is that his wis dom, hia foresight,1 'his firm hand'' In dealing with his own and other people have contributed vastly to the develoD- ment and upbuilding of hia nation. Long ago h perceived the necessity of interesting foreign capital in Mex ican enterprises, and he was able to do this. He saw that while the clash of arms was a good way to win office, it was a poor way to develop a country and so he chose the only means, that of peaceful pursuits. Through th power of peace Mexico has achieved more than any other Latin nation and it will always be an' open question if she would have achieved as much but for Porflrio Diaz. The limited estate left by David B. Hill may be an indication that he never devoted his large powers to the mere matter of making money. Somtf of the latter-day democrats who have assailed him most bitterly if they died today would not be able to tell the truth about their wealth in five fig ures, and some notable ones of these began life a long time after Mr. Hill did. While scaling down the lower and upper berth rates, would It not be fair for the Pullman company to make sme arrangement for paying Its por ters and waiters and relieving the traveling public of this burden, too? Every man ought to have his own prlva'te banker. As Lincoln Steffens casually remarked in a recent maga zine article, "I asked one of my bank ers." What the banker said is not recorded.

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE TULPIT. Poston Transcript: The r"e has done wisely to forbid the Catholic clergy to take an active part In financial enterprises, even in those which have a charitable scope, or to lend their names or Influence to any business speculation. Clerical gen tlemen who enter the field of finance are notoriously liable to put their money on the wrong horse. Leslie's Weekly: A revolution of church finances la presaged by the abolition of the collection plate by all of the Methodist churches of Cook county, Illinois. Meth odist churches have never had the pew renting system, and the collection plate method of gathering revenue has seemed to be a necessary part of Methodist' worship. It is highly significant that It is among churches of this denomination that the Initial step has been taken which may eventually supersede the time-honored col lection plute by a more businesslike sys tem. Philadelphia Record: There will be very general regret In the community that the venerable Bishop Whltaker of the Prot estant Episcopal diocese has been obliged to resign most of his functions. He Is 80 years of ago, and for some time past his health has been precarious. It is twenty five years since he became coadjutor to Bishop Stevens, whom he succeeded two years later. He was trained In a rather hard but an extremely good school for the functions which he has exercised with so much ability and descretlon In Pennsyl vania. He had two pastorates In Nevada, and for sixteen years was missionary bishop there. It was not easy work In Nevada forty years ago and more, but the men who have done notable work In middle and later life have generally dono very hard work In their early years.
