Asks What Health Department
Knows About Diphtheria Nearby.

Chevy Chase, D. c., Is not satisfied
with reports of the health department re-
garding outbreaks of diphtheria among
school children.
It has sent the Commissioners report
Chase Citizens Association, asking to
what extent the health department Of the
District makes itself acquainted with con-
tagtous disease in neighborhoods outside
of the District. and from which children
are sent to District schools.
Some time ago. when this matter was
studied by the health officer, he told the
Commissioners there were certain fea-
lures about quarantining school children
outside of the District which could be
accomplished only by Congress, as the
ton over Maryland and Virginia.
The schools can exclude children suffer-
ing from contagious disease. In the case
Of families living outside the District. it
cannot, however. keep as strict a watch
DR.. woodward says he has done about
ease coming to the city through children
from Maryland and Virginia, and has put
the matter up to the board of education
and to Congress in the following note to
Commissioner Johnston:
THE gist Of the complaint of this citi-
zens' association is that through ignor-
ance, carelessness or deliberate deception
and disregard for human life, citizens of
Chevy Chase and vicinity send their chill.

ing Officer Louis Wilson told Commits

enough and the contributions from Police
Court fines were sufficiently heavy.

The Election of Mr.. Foss.
DO the Editor OF T,he Star:


l will appreciate 1t very much If you
will allow me space enough to reply
to "E. j. Gibson" who in a recent issue
of The Star undertook to explain the
'other side Of the case relative to the
defeat of Mr.. Buchanan in the fourteenth
congressional district of Massa chusetts
Mr.. Gibsons main argument is that the
personal unpopularity of Mr.. Buchanan
was responsible for his defeat. Any
one familiar with the conditions in Mas
sachusetts knows that this is not so,
and while / will admit, for the sake
of the argument, that several thousands
of republican votes were lost because OF
Mr.. Buchapan's unpopularity, no one
who is familiar with the conditions will
admit that the loss of about $4,000 votes
can be attributed to this cause.
The district IS overwhelmingly repub-
lican. and, in the main, the republicans
of that section in voting for candidates
for public Office do not consider the per-
sonal qualifications of the candidate,
but whether or not he is republican.
II he is, he receives their votes. unless
conditions exist which prove to the peo-
pie that their interests will not be best
served by the continuance in power Of
the republican party, of which the cam
didate is member.
We must also consider the fact that
Mr.. FosS was q candidate on plat
form composed wholly Of national issues
and of democratic principles, and upon
this platform he was elected. It makes
no difference, to my mind. whether Mr..
Buchanan was poor republican or
Mr.. Foss a poor democrat the fact re-
mains that they were both asking for
the suffrage of the people of that dis
trict on republican and democratic plat
forms.
Mr.. Gibson states that Mr. Foss was
rich and was able to use his money in
carrying on his canvass, while Mr. Blu
chanan was not" would like to call
Mr.. Gibson's attention to the fact that
when Mr.. Douglas was a candidate Of
the democratic party for governor Mr..
Buchanan contributed $4,000 to Mr..
Douglas campaign. This statement has
many times been published In the news
papers. This. to my mind is not evil
dence OF poverty.
Mr.. Foss had only one week In which
to place his platform before the dis
trict, and the fact that he was elected
after campaigning so short a time proves
conclusively that the people were awake
and that they did not mean to accept
any more false pledges as advanced by
the republican party.
The republican party was pledged to
downward revision Of the tariff. and
gave instead an upward revision. The
high cost Of living Is attributed to the
Payne tariff act. and Mr.. Buchanan in
| that the people of the district had laid
| these conditions at the door Of the re-
| publican party.
Mr.. Gibson's argument Ii just the same
as that Of all other good republicans
| who grasp at straw to excuse the
The republican party takes all credit
