IT WILL BREAK OUT. it seems to be the case with the prc German thai he will declare himself, even tho be must now know thai bis action will only bring him trouble. Take the case of the Reverend Philip Koenig for Instance. Before Mr. Koenig left Ontario he bad incurred the enmity of many eiti.ens by his attitude toward the war. and the arrogant manner In which be upheld all things Ger man Of eoiii'se in so doing Mr. Koenig was merely being German. That is the nature of the German, le, most of them, to consider all the resi of humanity beneath them. Judging by the attitude Rev. Kocng is said to have taken concerning the sinking of the l.usitania he deserves more than a mere slap in the faee. The woman who per formed thai chastisement, however desei r public praise for she has attracted the 00 tic of the publk to I eltiell wln.se nall is not above question and who should be known for what he in. There are others who occupy a position similiar to that of ReV. Koenig and the sooner the public re nogniaea them the safer will this nation be. THE CITY'S FINANCES. It must be admitted in any discussion of the typbiod situation that the dtj Is handicapped b the lack ol funds. That is to be regretted, but is not necessarily an unsurmountable difficulty, it might ool be even as hard a (p'oblem to solve as its twin, "scarcity of labor." Bach of these problems is sufficient to give the council something to think about. Bui if the public really wants the water and sewerage problems solved a wa can be found. It is 01 f the boasts of Americans that ihev can do anything they set out to do. They can If, "the spirit if willing," and the flesh is not weak. It is unfortunate, too, that the problem was not taken care of before the war times made such improvements s stly, but that again is do reason for not trying to solve it now. Human lives are more precious now than ever before. Like everything else the value of man power is Increasing. There fore it should be conserved. No more wor thy tasks ever faced a body of men than the health problem which the council has on its hands. The adequate and final solution of that problem is worthy of their best efforts and should .success crown their efforts, then the unstinted approval id' the community should be their reward. MUST EXAMPLES BE MADE? Grocery Service-Fresh Goods The day of high prices Is with us, but the day of big profits has passed. Our Government is manifest inc. a somewhat be lated but Commendable interest in the matter Of abnormal profits. This is as it should be, but perhaps hardly enough so. Neither Speculation nor hie, profits are a part of our method of operations, but rather volume and the elimination of waste. Our Customers participate in our profits in the form of better values jfnd fresher goods. We hope for your continued co-operation. WILSON BROS. The Grocers A COMPARISON. This fall when there was an I. V. W. ware ainoail there was not the KllgllcHl on ficulty in getting out a crowd of men ready and willing to nghi for the peace and safe ty of Ontario. They were ready and wil ling, and they arc still ready and willing to protect the city. Their desire to serve is laudable. dust now we have a typhoid epidemic It is not a typhoid scare. It is the real thing. Only indirectly, however, is the property with the city limits endangered, lint the danger Is nevcr-the less real. How many people do on suppose one could gft-tlHgctb er right now to consider ways and means of protecting the lives of our citizens against typhoid t Why is there BUeh I difference in the attitude toward such matters.' Is it be cauae in the case of the I. W. W. the uu.ii could visualize a real toe and the ."pint ol adventure and desire to protect property was stroii:'1 united; while in the case of t plloid the eli lll call Hot be see. i and unless the disease is near at home it is "the other fellows business" Or is it a case of pure Ignorance and in difference combined ( That is what some of the citizens are Having! The Argus can not agree With them for illiteracy is ool pre valent here and anyone who can read knows what causes phiod. To the ArgUS it seems (dear that it is just a ipiestioii of getting the public eon- nee so thoioly awakened to the dangers of typhoid that the condition will no longer be tolerated in the cltv. Winn that day trrives the public will see to it that those ho create such conditions seek other places f habitation. There is no use of tin cits thinking of undertaking on its own account the cleaning of the vaults of open toilets. That is the dut of the property owner. lb' has no right, even on his own property, to create a nuisance which endangers the health and fety of the eoininunit . Of course to en force such a law might take a lot of work on the part of the autliorities under ordinary conditions, but that is one of "the some things that must de done" of which there lias bee u so much talk of late, lust had far that clean-up Would have to go is a question for the authorities to . ride. The difference between the practical and the Ideal ma be sufficient protection, all that is needed in fact. The patience of tin American people is proverbial, but it has a limit. Almost every day one hears of some rabid pro German utterance that makes the blood boil. Kn J day, too, there is talk of action. Tin i i- bet ray inn no secrets when it BSVS that tome of the people living in, and some living near the city Would be better off it at once I he adopt the practice of curbing their dis lo al tongues. It is all well to say what 5u think The people generally admire a man who does that. Dili the people, a vast uiajoiitv of them at least, insist that you think loyalty ami not disloyalty. NOW IS THE TIME. i ANOTRKR m loMomi i W IN ONTARIO hum To be absolutely certain Where tin phiod infection finds its medium of trans mission in Ontario it would appear thai an investigation is necessary! The only time to hold such an investigation is while the l phoid is active hereabout. When tile ep ideinic stops there will be but a slight chance of tracing the course and tlien the case could hard I be decided he olid a doubt. I To make assurance doubly suso the Ar gUN suggests that the 'it call in the State Board of Health for two reasens: First, because it is an outside built its decision would not be questiened: Second, because an investigation made l the officials of t lit board would undoubtedly be made by eS perts and would make pbstble and order by the state officials which would be heeded. Ofcour.se the 'it could make any order enforced by the use of sufficient force, but the state board would not be bumpered. Its mandate would be followed. An investiga tion bv the state board of health, however. Would be of greatest value because of the position of the board. Hob Stanficld. according to the Stan field Standard is iindertiniiied for which of two offices to aspire. Which ever hob takes the notion to run for he will have an almost unanimous support in this section. hut hob should remember that in politics as is courting, sometimes, "he who hesitates is lost." hut then it is a long tunc before the primaries. While the Russian situation docs not look incouragiug remember that you can't kill a jfUj fish by stepping on it. The Kussians armies have a big territory into which to retire and the farther they retire the harder it is for German it hit them. Napoleon tried that once. History will re peat itself. We believe lao llolnall stated the luestion properh when he said: "It may not be a disgrace for a cit to have a case of tv plioid. but is a disgrace if it continues to have it." It is a mighty significant fact that not a person who cinated last war for tvuhoid ha k this ear. That is this should be significant to those who have not been vac. i iated.
