A BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY. Yesterday as The Times fifteenth birthday anmersarv. After experiencing the customary vicissitudes and troubles of childhood it is getting to be Quite a Toung person and each succeeding birthday; finds it older and wiser. During the year just passed The Time has done more business than it has ever done in a preceding year and if we could stop with that statement how happy the family would be; but during the year its cost of op-rating have been infinitely higher than in any year preceding this so that we must take the bitter with the sweet and hope that production costs will gracefully descend to a lower level. In its mechanical departments the newspaper has made many valuable improvements and in fact, stepped forward all alone the line ind has ethers planned. With the customary enthusiasms of fifteen year olds The Times faces the future. It is especially grateful to its readers, advertisers and friends for their support. They alone have been responsible, for whatever sucess the paper has attained. To be a success in ttaa future it must have friends a? well as enemies and to all of these

The Times returns thanks.

diteane, which lw former times scourged the world. One of the chief preventatives to the spread of contagion is quarantine regulations, and the facilities fot enforcing these are greater today than ever befi. re. In the present instance the medical profession has been forwarned and therefore on the alert. The aftermath of every great war has been sick ness and disease, the development of a plague being accelerated by th non-weakened physical and menial condition of non-combatants among the belligerent nationals. W hile the world endured four years of the greatest war in all history, it is nevertheless true that the science of sanitation reached higher peaks than eer before attained, and the physical weli-beius of actual lighting units were more carefully looked alter than heretofore. The appearance of bubonic plague on our southern borders, therefore, while a matter of regret, should not caus alarm.

SENATOR EXHIBITS HIS OWN MAIL PILE AS ARGUMENT FOR REDUCING PAPER. WASTE

SIX-HOUR DAY FALLACY. The American Kederatiou of Labor has declared through us convention a determination to begin a drive for the six-hour day. Its advocates argue that, the shorter workday vviil provide employment for more men. The argument would come better recommended if there were many men seeking jobs In a day of great undrpiodut t ion and shortages of both labor and materials, however, i he necessity of providing more jobs la rot apparent. Labor leaders commonly have two objects: To keep down the cost of living and lo improve the conditions and rewards of union members. Both are laudable purposes. It should be plain to all of thetn, however, that the fundamental factor in high cist is under-production, and that the sure wa to bring down prices is to produce more goods. But more goods cannot be produced by reducing the hours of employment 25 per cent. Any such process is likely to increase the est of living by just that much. Labor cannot eat its cake and have it.

"AMERICANS FIRST."

TT have read some thousands of words of editorial

and -ether comment on the work of the republican convention at Chicago, and our original opinioa that it was good work is confirmed. It is perhaps not Strang that seme democratic moulders of public opinioa rrofess to believe that the work could have been improred upon, bnt we are pleased to note that the leading fiemocratic upholder and defender of the Wilson administration property characterizes the threatened organization of a third party. It refers to the movement as a "bogey," that is, a goblin, which the dictioary defines as an "evil spirit; a creature of fancy, assumed to reside in the woods" There always have been and always vfTTTa unfavorable a well as favorable critics, and there -will always be irreconciliiSbles tn any community or national body." Today the chief factor which hampera the development of the new German republic Is th Tnultiplicity of political parties, the extremes of which nro the red radicals at on end and the military reactionaries at the other, the success of either of which would destroy the country. Here in tha United States, no matter rc?sTiany pari may be in the field, the real battle line will be between Wilson dmoernts on one side, and the adherents cf constitutional lar and American progress on th othtr. One of the slogans, undoubtedly, yil be. "America and Americans First! ' That alone would be sufficient to carr71'h republican party to v;rory next November, wh-v n t-esi-cent cf the Tited States, not a pseudo-autocrat rf the world, will be elected.

PASSING OF RENTED HOUSE. A speaker at the national real estate convention in Kansas City made the startling prediction that the rented house s passing, that the day at hand " hen men must own their own homes or live in apartment buildings. Men of moderate salary or wage, he said, will no longer he able to pay the rental.- thai must be demanded because of the high cost of building a

I house or bungalow, even of five rooms. Another speak

er saw no relief in sight from lowered building costs. In fact he thought rents had been too low before the war and would never get back to anything like ihat basis. With the United States short a million houses and building costs where they are the?e prophets have substantial ground for their predictions. Kven now people are being obliged to ' double up ' one family houses are being made to accomodate two, and thousands of others unable to obtain homes for rent have been compelled to find refuge in apartment buildings. Most of them have consoled themselves with the hope that this is but a temporary dislocation, that in a ear or two matters will adjust themselves and the world will br hack somewhere near where it was before the war. Hut the real estate experts at this national meeting were not of that opinion. They were) nelined to agree with these doleful prophets and the general advice was ihat men should save and slart to buy their own homes as early in life as possible.

A DOCTOR says thqt the combination of roast lamb and mashed potatoes is terrible and that cereals and cream and fried eggs and coffee are also impossible. All of which is certainly true, unless one has a lot of money.

MEXICO'S REVOLUTIONISTS admit that their chief concern is to get their hands on the national treasury, thus revealing that mora! and ethical considerations may shortly suffer eclipse.

THE TROURLB King Emanuel is experiencing in getting another cabinet reveals that the service of public ministry i? losing some of it? attractiveness in the

'post-bellum days.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. The fear which 40 years ago greeted the appparanc of yellow fever at New Orleans has not been aroused by the two case3 of bubonic plagrae at Tampico and the reported fatal case at Pensacola. I-'la. To a large degree, science has triumphed over this kind of
