HAs WORK REGuN.

There seems to be something doing
in the mayors office, and there should
be more. Everybody but the authori-
ties has known that the joints and
gambling houses have been running
things to suit themselves. It's the old
story.
The city attorney would do nothing
effective. The county attorney has
been asked If he will not please do
something Meanwhile the Iaw-break-
ers laughed.
But what about the city physician?
He def1es public sentiment. He runs
a secret bureau. He may suppress the
news. but the people want him to sup
press disease and use every means to
do so. The city physician defies the
public as the jointists and alleged
druggists and gamblers defy the Off
GERS chosen to enforce laws. Do the
people laugh with the law-breakers?
No. thev sorrow with the afflicted and
wonder. o Lord how long will the
mayor permit trifiing and dallying
with contagious diseases.
Mayor Bergundthal should not stop
with the dismissal of Chief Golf of the
police force. because there are other
of his appointees whose removal is of
greatest Importance to the city, and
without any mixture of politics, either.
City Physician Storrs is still pursuing
1 his policy" and the result is continu-
GUS spread of the diphtheria and scarlet
fever epidemic. A few weeks ago a lit
| tie girl by the name'of King was taken
sick at Polk school. ard died shortly af-
ter. Diphtheria was the disease, but be-
ing contag ious. all information about it
was religiously suppressed by the city
physician. Yesterday Floyd Hart, who
occupied a seat next to the King girl
when she was in school, was taken sick
with diphtheria, and there is little doubt
that the disease was contracted at Polk
school
Isn't it about time that Mayor Der
gundthal checked this criminal policy OF
the present city physician? Had people
been informed truthfully of the exist
ence of diphtheria at Polk school, they
could then exercise their best Judgment
in regard to allowing their children tc
attend there. AS it is the responsibility
for the possible epidemic and resulting
in deaths is placed at the door of tht
city physician who is the originator OF
the secret system of encouraging cpl
denies.
Floyd Hart is the son of Mr.. and Mrs
George Hart and lives at 1923 Tyler
street. A new case of diphtheria is re-
ported on East First street, and IL
spite of the efforts of DR.. Storrs, the
public is gradually getting some insigh
into the prevalence of this dangerous
disease.
Yesterday nine more cases Of scarle
fever were reported by Superintendent
Davidson to the principals of the var
ious schools.
The state board of health reports tn
state remarkably free from epidemic:
What can the city board report? Moth
ing? Well silence breeds suspicion.
