"Rev. Mr.. Thomas is a pastor OF
the Congregational church at
Thomastown, a suburb of Akron.
Last week he made arrangements to
fill the pulpit of the Welsh Congre-
grational church, on Jones ave-, in
Newburg. Not knowing that the
A. B. & c., cars were boycotted, he
took one of the cars of that line Sat
urday evening to come to the city to
keep his Sunday engagement. He
did not learn that he was on non-
union car until he stepped from it at
Homestead ST., and Broadway. He
had arranged to stop at the residence
of Mrs. Griffiths, on Homestead st.
"As soon as he was off the car he
was surrounded by hooting, jeer-

astounded and puzzled by his recep-

the chorus of shouts and jeers, how
ever, and made the situation clear to
him. AS many brawny ruffians as

OPPOSED TO BUYING A WAR.

A Cincinnati reporter asked John
R. Mclean the question:
Your platform declares against
the war in the Philippines. Do you
approve of this? Are you ready to
fight the administration
To which Mr.. Mclean replied:
Yes, L indorse the platform heart
lily on this point. 1 am opposed to a
needless war in the Philippine
islands. Ny record shows where l
stand. During the war with Spain,
while war of humanity was being
waged to carry the blessings of free
dom to an oppressed people, daily
through the columns of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer upheld the hands of
the president and pleaded with the
people to support the administration,
but when that war was over and
peace was declared I, with my party
and my paper, was opposed to paying
$4,000, 900 to purchase another war
which is being waged against people
whom we armed TO fight Spain, and,
having armed them against their
lawful sovereign, we now propose to
destroy them because they ask of us
the same freedom that they have
fought for for 100 years to obtain
from Spain. The money of the hard
working people of the United States
has been used to bribe the Sultan of
Sulu and help him in maintaining
those twin relics of barbarism, slav-
cry and polygamy, and all this is
being done under the flag of the
free. 1 am opposed to war being
waged by politicians for plunder."
That particular reporter had no
more questions to ask of Mr.. Mclean
concerning the Philippine crisis.

but in the localities where he is. best
known because of his many acts of
philanthrophy and service in behalf

A PHYSICIANS PROTEST.

Holden, March T.
Editor of The Spy: An item under
Quinapoxet news. in your issue of to-
day, states that STANLEY Duby is Sc
riously i'll with pneumonia" and adds
that the illness was at first supposed
to be scarlet fever" but later de-
Veloped into pneumonia" VIII YOU per-
nit me to say this statement is mis-
leading? The child, in common with
six or seven others in Mr.. Duby's fam
lly, mas had scarlet fever of very Sc
we're type, and is not yet out of danger.
pneumonia, it is true, did develop as a
complication of the scarlet fever, and
mas added much to the danger Of the
disease.
One who reads the item could infer
that the physicians had revised their
diagnosis. This is entirely incorrect.
The child was first seen by DR. e. D.
Boynton, who had charge of my prac-
uce during my own recent illness, and
who is very capable practitioner. His
diagnosis was scarlet fever.
When l came on duty again and took
charge of the patient. I found no rea-
son whatever for questioning his dag
nosis. The case is absolutely clear 1t
would be unjust to Dr. Boynton to al
low the item to stand uncorrected
In this connection will you allow me
to say further that | cannot compre-
bend the ideas of some of our people
regarding the small epidemic of scarlet
fever which has recently visited the
town. Twice, at least l read in your
columns that members of a family in
North Woods We're i'll with the grip,
and this was after Officer Merrick had
been notified that the cases were scar
let fever and had placarded the house
Your correspondent in that instance
evidently did not care for this doctor S
diagnosis of the ailment but substi-
tuted one of his own choosing. 1 should
be glad to learn why
I am credibly informed that citizens
have entered houses where scarlet fe-
yer was known to exist, and said to
the parents: TT is not scarlet fever
no matter what the doctor says" And
for what reason? Why should persons
supposed to possess ordinary intel
ligence give advice which, if followed,
would invite an epidemic beside which
our thirty cases of the past winter
would appear insignificant?
No one need hi1i that l am fostering
a scarlet fever scare We may use
all possible precautions to prevent the
spread of the disease without loss of
dignity or good sense. But no number
of newspaper items should blind us to
the fact that scarlet fever does exist
in town, nor must we forget that it is
a disease which, if allowed too much
latitude, is sure to bring sorrow to
somebody's home.
Finally, may 1 say most courteously
to your correspondent that in the prep
aration of items concerning the sick he
might, in the interest of accuracy and
ordinary courtesy, acquaint himself
with the views of the attending physi
clans. Very truly yours,
C. w. Stickney, NJ. d.
