Interference or Object-Lesson.

By Editor

The announcement that this government was going to force the sanitation of Guayaquil, in Ecuador, has led the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association to remark that if Uncle Sam can insist that Ecuador shall clean up Guayaquil, why should not Italy insist that the United States shall compel Pittsburg to furnish pure drinking water to the Italians working in the steel mills? And, too, "why can not Russia insist that the United States clean up the tuberculosis-breeding tenements of Greater New York, in which thousands of Russians cough their life away?" And the Journal well intimates that Uncle Sam could set some good examples, portray some good object-lessons, at home.
