Prosperity' Other Side.
On mini her pace of Tiir. St'w to-rlay
will he fiiu nil a comprehensive survey
of the notable Increase In commodity
prices, Hint hits occurred since tho
midsummer of 1014. Thp nrnt rise
in wholesale prices has been reflected
In Hip rt'lull markets; no housekeeper
needs lo be told that articles of dally
use uiul consumption haive "gone up";
no business mini hni boon fortunate
mulish lo i-Piniilu In Ignorance of the
higher cost of everything that he uses
In his rnlllnp. This In the other side,
of tho prosperity that hm solved the
problem of non-employment und put
to work pvpry man with the desire and
capacity to labor.
The heavy demand for our prod
ucts, the transportation difficulties on
sea and land, the dislocation and sup
pression of numerous Kuroitciui In
dustries, have brought about the sitmi
tlon that now exists, and until normal
conditions are restored the cost sched
ules that prevatlud two jcars ago can
not be exMM'ted to return. But when
tho extraordinary factors now In
operation cease to affect the markets,
will the readjustment of wages and
prices be hronght about without seri
ous derangement of the Industrial
und hulness community? The diffi
culties that must be overcome are
obvious and It Is not too early to give
serious study to their solution.
Reopening the Canal.
Ceneral !i.onn: W. (Iohthai.n wrote
on November 15. 1015. In his oxhnus
tlve report on conditions ntI'anama
that "It Is the Intention to puss ships
ns soon us a channel Is secured
nnd there nre reasonable grounds for
assuming that u channel through the
obstructed area can be maintained."
The country Is therefore justified In
expecting that the canal shall here
nfter be open for navigation while
the grave task of deepening the prism
Hnd reducing the weight on the banks
la carried forward. General (inirriiAt.s
has pointed out that "nothing can
stop the movements now In progress
until the angle of repose Is reached,"
and! this "can be reached only by
removing the excess amount of ma
terial nlong the cut."
Much work must be done to restore
the. canal to the condition that ob
tained before It was obstructed by
slliles that hue now been pierced,
hut on the strength of General
Uokthai.n's report we may nceept It
us a fact that the canal force will
be able hereafter to control the slides
and keep the waterwoy uninterrupt
edly open for ships.
The Phosphite Folly.
In Tun Ktn of February 1" we
pointed out the fallacy of the idea
that since bruin tissue contains phos
phorus the use of this agent would
invigorate the body and Its remedial
application In diseases like consump
tion and nervous troubles would be
valuable. We slated that tho Idea
originated with Dr. .1. V. Churchill,
who In a treatise on pulmonury tu
berculosis, published in 1S5S, assumed
that phosphorus Is lucking In this
disease. He averred that his prepara
tion "not only cured consumption but
so enriched the blood that It produced
nose bleeding, that some of his pa
tients grew heavy beard1", the bed
ridden rose and walked," e.
Since nervous as well as tubercu
lous patients have been lured Into the
habitual use of certain Inert prepara
tions of phosphorus by this extrava
gant claim, I he constant purchase of
which somei lines ilemniiils large out
lay, which could be more usefully ap
plied in obtaining fond and comforts,
we warned against their use, on the
ground that Dr. W. Mcki.m Makiuott,
after reliable experiments, published
In n recent number of the Journal
of the inrt ii an Malu ill Asoriittnn,
hud determined thnt the preparations
hud no value. We also showed that
ordinary foods, dally consumed, con
tain niniv phosphorus than tho lnr;.v.t
doses of these proprietary prepara
tions. We have Just received from n Purls
drug tlnn a letter enclosing the article
and stating Unit "the whole Is simply
erroneous, In fact, we should like to
know the anonymous celebrity who
has made Hie experiments," c, ; also
naming a number of Trench physi
cians wliu piescrlbeClll III llll.l.'s by
lMiphnsphlies, The "anonymous celeb
rlt" whs mimed n our urllclo and
,ve may now odd the following con-
flrmiitlnn of our view, received within
one day of this letter.
In tha Journal of the American
.Ucillral AoriaHon of April 8 the
lcndlnjf, article Is on "Pharmacologic
Superstitions," by Hoiiatio 0. Woon,
Jr., professor of mntprlii medlcn In
thp .University of Pennsylvania. He
writes: "HypophosphltM owe their
Introduction Into medicine to a lr.
Ciiuncnii.t.." After Mntlng the lnt
ter's theory ho Roes on: "Supposing,
however, Hint cMtnciiii.i.'H theory of
the cause of tuberculosis were true
It would require about one
quart of the hypophosphltex, four
times n dny, to produce the effect he
desires." He concludes, "An un
biassed stud of the evidence must
Inevitably lead to the conclusion that
any therapeutic virtue In the com
K)iind syrup of hypophnsphlten Is due
to the Mignr It contains. The rea
sons for Its popularity nre, first, and
most Important, persistent advertis
ing, and second, Its Innocuous charac
ter." The latest testimony of the value
of hypophosphltos comes from Dr. At.-
ciNnon, in the imiion rnirfiMotier,
1013, ns follows :
"Phosphorus Initiates and promotas
among; the bloplaemlc elements oxida
tion of tha tissues, which is th primor
dial phenomenon of vitality, with con
sequent Integration and disintegration
and elimination of effete products."
Such pseudo scientific Jargon would
hardly convince nn American.
In a pamphlet which the Pnrlslnu
pharmacist encloed the statement Is
made, "We need not discuss his rrr
Ciii'hcimu.'b theories, nor his zeal
In ndvoentlne them. Hud he lived
to the present time he would probably
have modified them."
The public may renllie that money
spent for any preparation of phos
phorus ns tonics would be more wisely
spent for nutritious food.
A Fertiliser Company'! Bank Ac
count. Secretary I.ansino of the Depart
ment of State made the subjoined
announcement on December It, 1015:
"On account of what this liovcrnmcnt
cormlders their improper activities In
military and naval matters, this Onv
ernmcnt has requested the Immediate
recall of Captain Bot-Kd and Captain
von PaI'BN, as they arc no longer ac
ceptable to this Government."
This turdy net of self-defence by
the United States Government was
followed by the publication on De
cember 10 of it statement authorized
in Ik'rlln, beginning thus:
"The German Government naturally
ha never knowingly accepted the sup
port of nny person, group of persons,
society or organtiatlon seeking to pro
mote the cause of Qermany In the United
States by Illegal actf, hy roundels of
violence, by contravention of law or
by any means whatever that could of
fond the American people In the pride of
their own authority."
The admirable specimen of literary
composition (WHicludpil with thesp In
teresting sentences:
"Apparently the enemies of Germany
have succeeded In creating the Impres
sion that the German Government Is
In pome way morally or otherwise re
sponsible for what Mr. Wilson has char
acterized as antl-Amerlcan activities,
comprehending attacks upon property
and violations of the rules which the
American Government bus scon tit to
impneo on tho couito of neutral trade.
"Thlfl the German Government abso
lutely denies.
"It cannot specifically repudiate acts
committed by Individual over whom It
has no control and of whOKe movements
and intentions It Is neither officially
nor unofllclally Informed.
"It can only ssy, and does most em
phatically declare to Germans abroad.
to German American citizen of the
United States, to the American people,
all alike, that whoever la guilty of con
duct tending to associate the German
cause with lawlessness of thought, sug
gestion or deed against life, property
and order In tho United States Is In
fact an enemy of that very cause and a
source of embarrassment to the Ger
man Government, notwithstanding any
thing h or they may believe to the
contrary."
The Sun, In common with nil who
have endeavored to maintain neU'
trnllty under the distressing clrcum
stunces of the lust eighteen months,
nnd clinging to its confident belief
in the ultimate friendliness and san
ity of the German people, accepted
this utterance. In good faith, and in
speaking of It said :
"The unconquerable disposition of
America to think well of Germany will
operate powerfully In behalf of accept'
nnce of the proclamation of denuncla
tlnn of lawless activities In the United
Ktatea In cordiality and good will."
We recall these Incidents In their
chronological order because of the In
terestlng lluctuntlons In the bunk nr.
count of the New Jersey "fertilizer'
company which Is closely associated
with the rffortH of certain Germans
domiciled here to blow up ships sail
Ing from this port. Tills account, be.
gun with funds drawn from n firm
which acted In complete propriety,
we assume as personal banker for
Captain von I'Ara.N, r.c.rnw to have
neled normally from the date of Its
establishment until about the time
of Captain von Pawn's recall at the
request of the United Stulps. l-'rom
that date tho diminution of the de
posit continued uninterruptedly, and
shortly after the denunciatory procla
mation of the German Government
was uttered It engaged the attention
of tho bank officers because It wn
overdrawn. The process of replen
ishment had ceased apparently with
the cancellation of Von Pawn's ofll-
clnt activities In this country; a co-J
Incidence Unit cannot be Ignored nnd
should be explained.
Thk Hhn does not now withdraw
the confidence It expressed with re
spect to the German outgiving of
December 10 In the Interpst of good
order. We hope never to be obliged
to ernse It. But wo feel wo are
Justified In urging the fullest exposure
of Von I'apen'h enterprises, thnt It
may be established, an we trust Is tho
case, thnt the German Government
disowned lawlessness out of pure
friendship for the United States, nnd
not because In December of last year
the police were closing In on tho plot
ters nnd conspirators who sought In
this neutral land to ntd the Teutonic
cause by violence and Incendiarism.
Who Will Complain Kicept New
York City?
In the opinion of the Ilepubllcan
leaders of New York tho reapportion
ment bill Introduced In tho Legislature
on Saturday is an admirable measure.
It has been drawn with such skill and
consideration that no Important mem
ber of tho dominant party seriously
opposes It. It will be put through
without creating a division In the
majority. If tilts does not entitle It
to applause, by what standards are
apportionments to be Judged?
Yet the oppression of citizens resi
dent In New York city Is perpetuated
by the bill. A city Assemblyman will
represent IH.OOO citizens; the up
State member of tho snme chamber
will represent 51,000. The average
constituency of a Senator from this
town will be 105,000, or I'O.OOO more
than those of the members from dis
tricts beyond Its boundary lines. A
part of this Inequality results from
constitutional provisions; but were
they non-existent tho exigencies of
polities would Impose on the majority
the high duty of looking out for Itself.
This Is revealed by the report accom
panying the bill, In which the reten
tion of It fly-one Senators Is defended
nnd n policy of Increasing the num
ber Is laid down "to protect the rep
resentation of rural districts" should
the urban K)pulatIou continue to grow
faster than the rural. Korty-elght
counties have 41,'Jfid square miles of
the 50,:i'-0 square miles which consti
tute New York; and these splendid
landscapes must not be deprived of
their weight In the Legislature.
Women and Preparedness.
That women nre naturally pacific
is u fact upon which optimists base
their belief that the spread of woman
suffrage In the world tends toward
the eventual establishment of univer
sal peace. Hut those who deduce
from this generalization the belief
that the women of the United States
are for the most part antagonistic to
national preparedue.s jump to n con
clusion that Is not tenable. The re
cent Presidential primaries In Illi
nois bore testimony to the fact that
the women of that State; far from
being "mollycoddles," Hre more de
voted to the cause of preparedness
than the men. In Conk county, for
example, u larger percentage of the
ballots cast by women wns for Itoosc-
vki.t than of those cast by men. The
l.S'U Cook county women who ex
pressed their preference for Hooir.
vki.t for President did so avowedly
upon the preparedness Issue.
This does not mean, of course, that
the Illinois women who voted for the
Colonel are female swashbucklers,
fire eaters, war maniacs. Their vote
merely proves that they understand
that only through complete national
preparedness can this nation lie placed
in n position conducive to the mainte
nance of peace. They posos sutll-
dent Imaglnutlon to realize fully what
has liapieneil to unprepared peoples
during the past two years In various
parts of the world, anil though, being
women, they are constitutionally de
voted to the ways of pence, they have
enough common sense to realize that
the best way for a country to avoid
war Is to lie strong enough to force
a prospective enemy to pause und con
sider the possible cost of aggression,

manifested, In the secondary schools,
by the reduction In time given to
teaching the German language, and

Whllo occupation with the conduct
of tho war checks the process of edu
cational reform, the fact thnt this Is
"a war of technics and applied sci

to a remodelling of tho Husslnn sys
tem of technical teaching. This may
ho expected to tnko the direction of
such coordination of literary, profes
sional, scientific nnd engineering de

American universities. The Petro

fro the Kmtou of The Hun .Sir: The

ing to tho possibility of "dollar an ounce

sceptical. Ilaned on the Idea that Ku

to scaling down an overwhelming debt,
that writer may bo wrong In hi prenn

WATER IN WESTCHESTER.
Senator Wulnw right on the Oppres-
sle Conduct of New York Pity.
To the hlit roit or The Sun .Sir; In
your comment upon the -bill which has
been passed over tho Mayor's veto ro
uting to the tapping or the Now York
water mains pawing through the county
by Westchester county commutiltlea you
refer to the measure as conferring some
new right. On the contrary, Its purpose
Is tu take awey from the Conservation
Commission a puwxr of veto over an
absolute right which i conferred upon
the. communltlee of Westchester county
at .the tlmo that the McCtcllan water
act of 1903 was enacted. At that tlmo
the city of New York hnd already ap
propriated most of tho available water
supplies of Ve.tchestr county and cct
talnly nil of those which could adequate
1 supply their growing needs. That
measure conferred upon the city tho
right by simply tiling maps to appro-
tilratc not only all remalulnir watersheds
In Westchester county but the add t on.il
right, without picslblllty of objection by
our local authorities and people, to ap
pmprlate all further lands that the city
might require for Its resirvolrs and other
works. It was naturally viewed with
tho utmot apprehension and dismay by
our peoplo.
As a member of th Assembly from
Westchester at that tlm I advanced
what seemed to be an tntlrely equitable
Pioposltlon. that In letiirn for tho ex
tensive new rights to lie conferred In
tlc.ilb a one of the conditions to the
p issag of the 1005 water act, section
i 10 win Inserted, giving our comniunl-
ties the right to
tlw municipal corporation In lh county
f w. ulidtei to tuka ami rrclv from
. .my of tin- reservoirs, aqueduct, lotulult.
sircnm. or plpi of tho ilty of N';'.v Yolk
u supply of watrr for the mo and pur
!oca of the saM municipal corporations
upon payment to the city of the same
rates as the cty chaiged Its own con
' sinners, and malting It the dut of the
. ity ,'iutliorlt ii s to gr.mt pi units to con
licet ullli the maliiH mulct reasonable
A subsequent legislature, nt tho be
best, it Is believed, of icrt.ili' private
water companies, gave the I'nnsi i v ation
Commissi, in ili, ret:on,ir- power over
the exerclre of this atisuluto r.ght.
.Mount V. men, ?mw requiring nddl
tlouil waler, Is unable to secuie the
assent of the Conservation Commission
I upon the ground that It Is ponb!o for
11 '" develop a local supply now owiiul

itheiefore, lo restore to our communities

Hi ally amounts to a breach of faith.
Is It not about tlmo that It should be
i c ognized that it Is not Just that In
eii'1,1 1111. Illie in iiiocil IIIH IIIirreSlH Ot
Westchester county conflict with those
of the city the latter should be deemed
paramount" The light hi question Is of
vital Importance to Westchester county,
and the progress of lur communities
should not be arrested because their nat
ural s itirces of water supply have been
pucmpli"! b the city of New York when
th city Is now able to supplement their
local stippliis upon entirely fair nnd
equitable terms and without lr. any way
prejudti ing the Interests of tho city, for
there Is little dinger that the additional
water that will be required hy our rela
tively small numbetx will ever nerlously
lepbte a supply planned to bn adequate,
for a city of many millions

LEGISLATURE ENDS
WORK WEDNESDAY
860,000,000 Bridget Bill to
Pnss Assembly To
morrow.
OTHER MEASURES AHEAD
Ai.sant, April 1. There seema lo be
concerted action between the Itepubllcnn
lenders In tha tienata nnd Assembly
which Justifies the expectation thnt the
Legislature will conclude Its work some
time Wednesday night and addjourn.
Tha Aaaembly will pass tho budget bill.
carrying appropriations of nearly $00.-
000,000, on Tuesday, although this bill
In on tho calendar for to-morrow night.
It Is expected the Rennto also will take
a day to dispose ot this menauro, ns tho
Democrato aro bent upon making as
much party capital as posnlble out of this
measure.
The legislative, reapportionment bill
will paaa tho Legislature without serious
criticism. This la due to tho fact that
tho reapportionment commltteo havo
been working together harmoniously and
It In expected thcro will be n full Repub
lican voto for this bill In cacti bouso when
It comes up for flnal passage.
liov. Whitman Is said to be satisfied
with the manner In which tho Lestlslaturo
Is winding up Its buslnera. Tills l
especially true with renard to the ap
propriation bill and It Is not anticipated
that there will be nny occasion for nn
extra session of the Legislature this year,
Hotli the Wenato nnd Assembly havo
et to net upon resolutions extending the
npproprlntlonei of the Thompson Invrstl
gating committee, the llrown commltteo
which is Investigating New ork city
Ilnnnces, and a number of other com
mittees. Iloth tho Sennto and Assembly have
their calendars well In hnnd. Tho As
sembly Rules Commltteo has cleared Its
calendar of bills each day and little re
mains for tho Assembly to do except
to pass tho Menate bills which were re
ported this week nnd an; to be passed
during the next threo days.
Tho Senate calendar hns been almost
cleored and It Is expected thnt the As
sembly bills to be acted on can be dis
posed of easily by Wednesday. There
are a few bills In commltteo of the
whole. Including proposed amendments
to the public service law desired by the
New York city commission and by tho
Thompson committee, and there Is much
difference of opinion ns to whether any
of them should be enacted into law.
The programme of preparedness train
ing for boys In schools will be settled
beforo tho session ends und It Is prac
tically certain that tho Slater-Welsh 1111
providing for compulsory physical train
ing for all pupils over i years of age
will be passed. This measure already
has gone through tho Asfcmhly with
only four dissenting votes. It Is sup
ported by Oie State Department of Kdu
catlon and thero Is no opposition any
where so far as Is know n.
The companion bill, providing for com
pulsory military training for nil boys be
tween the ages of 16 and 1? after school
hours and voluntary training in summer
camps, may strike a snag In the Asetn
blv. Tills bill went through the Senate
with only Senator Thompson opposing
it, after mailing an I old not raise my
boy to be .1 soldier" speech.
It Is known thnt Speaker Sweet does
not favor this bill, however, and It Is
generally understood the other Assem
bly leaders agree with him on the ground
that It would lie too huge an expense for
the Slate. Commissioner Finley of the
Kducatlnri Di parlment, while not in t vely
opposing the bill, as It does not directly
ulTect schoolboys, Is known to be against
the measure In Its present form, al
though heartily In accord with the gen
eral Idea
The bill ns It pnssed the Senate pro
vides for exemption from compulsory
drill of all boys regularly nnd lawfully
tngaged In working for ti livelihood,
which exempts about two-thirds, of the
boys of tho State nnd leaves practically
only schoolbojs. If the. bill could be
amended so ns to iiiako no exemptions
or to make mllltniy drill in camps en
tliely voluntary the Mil might pass
without objection, It Is said.
ASSAILS LATE WAR VETERANS,
Civil Service Heforoi Assiielntlnti
flrr .Mlinny l.oblij.
Tho Civil Service Reform Associa
tion called attention In a statement
issued ypsterdav to the endeavors of
"a well tin inced and effective lobby of
n few Spanish war veterans who are
seeking to destroy the civil service law
by scouring an absolute preference In
appointment and promotion."
The association's remarks were predi
cated upon a bill Introduced In the
Legislature by Senator llllchrlst grant
ing preference In appointment and pro
motion In civil cervice to Spanish war
veterans. The constitutional conven
tion considered this proposal and re
jected It.
I'art of the associations statement
said ;
"It is unfair to the Spanish war
veterans ns a body to hold them eutliely
responsible for the proposed b gllaton.
A few camp followers b.ivn sought to
advance their seltlsh Interests through
the complacence of their 'comrades In
arms' and have represented that the
entire body of Spanish war veterans of
this Stnto are In favor of this undemo
cratlc preference
"As a measure to perpetuate Ineltl
clency it deserves the condemnation of
the Committee on Rules and public opin
ion at large."
TEACHERS VOTE ON PENSIONS.
Relief Thnt Result Will He Auillnat
Hill t A Ilia li J.
The teachers' pension bill, framed by
n Joint committee of fifty-eight, com
posed of members of the Hoard of llstl
male and the Federation of Teachers
Associations, has been voted on by thn
teachers In tho city schools The bal
lots" were cost last Friday, but, com.
pleto returns have not been received
It Is generally understood in school cir
cles that the veto will show that the
teachers aro against the passage, of the
bill which Is now before the Stuto lA-gls-latuie.
It Is expected that the count
will bo completed some time to. day.
That the Federation of Teachers As
sociations expects thn teachers' voto to
be against tho bill Is evident In a cir
cular letter that Miss I race C Strachnn.
the president and chairman of the Joint
committee framing thn bill, has sent
to the newspapers. Miss Ktrnrliun says
thnt selfishness, socialism, envy, jealousy
and personalities are behind the opposi
tion to the bill both here and In Al
bany. Tho federation will not think of
abandoning the measure even though the
teachers defeat It, sajs Miss Str.ichan.
She add thnt the tem-heri i, mit rc
nllze thnt the present bill Is the best
thing that could be done for them
