government were at that very time
pending against some of his companies

favored by the president that his mon
ey helped to elect"
A single presidential term, Senator
Works declared, would prevent the use
of patronage and the power of Office
ip the way il is now used and would
remove the opportunity a president
now has to grant favors or infiict pun
ishment upon campaign friends or en-
emies.
He urged that campaign contribu-
tions be made only by the state or ma
tion. declaring that large campaign
funds, however raised, are a dangerous
menace to the free institutions of the
country"
The advocacy by the incumbent of
his own reelection in the late cam
paign led to the most shameful cam
paign OF elimination and reCrimination
between the president and ex-president
that this country has ever witnessed,
Senator Works continued Both of
these candidates were Overwhelmingly
defeated. They both deserved defeat
for this reason if for no other. The
conduct of Roosevelt was particularly
reprehensible. His vicious assaults
upon the president made It imperative
for the latter, in his estimation and
that of his friends. TO meet on the
stump the charges made against him.
1T was a fatal mistake. 1t lost him
the respect and good will of many good
people He put himself on a level with
his detracter and thus lowered his dig
nifty and that of his Office to no pur
pose. How much better it would have
been for the country If both of then
had been ineligible to reelection"

SCARLET FEVER
YET At WARREN
Because of Laxity in ObSer-
vance of Quarantine Reg
ulationS; Board of
Health Will Act
ISSUE LEGAL NOTICE

LaXity in the observance of quar-
antine regulations at Warren since
the beginning Of the present epidemic
OF scarlet fever has caused the coun-
y board OF health to determine upoa
more stringent regulations strictcr
enforcement OF quarantine resula-
tons and guards 10 enforce them will
be sworn lin as special deputies.
The course of the epidemic at War
rem is marked by violations of the
quarantine regulations and the spread
OF the disease. while not typically
epidemic, may be traced 10 these ylo-
lations. The determination of the
board of health 10 more strictly en-
force all regulations is not solely to
punish the violatOrs but TO protect
those who are Obeying them Judge
Smith. OF Lowell. has said that in the
future the limit of penalties will lie
imposed on all yiolators OF health
regulations.
. The county hoard of health yester-
day issued the following notice.
On October 20 a circular was ad-
dressed to the parents OF the children
attending the Warren school relating
the reasons for the closure and open
ing OF the school on account of scar
let fever. With one exception. all
replies received we're in favor OF the
continuance of school
1t was explained in the circular
that undiscovered cases of scarlet
fever were the chief sources OF dan
ger for the continuance of an cpl
demic; that many children might he
affected in such a mild form as moi
iJe recognized as such by parents yet
the peeling of the skin later may be
the cause OF contagion for others.
and that the opening Of school Sep
TENDER 20 was a broader measure OF
safety TO the public than the contir-
ued closure when there were but few
cases Of scarlet fever present.
AT present there is but a small at
tendance at school. A large number
play on the streets who are out Of
school. Some may be peeling from
a mild and unrecognized scarlet few
er and may be the cause for spread
of the disease. The children at
school are frequently observed for
such a condition. Those on the
streets cannot be.
There is always a danger of sick
ness. in and out of school. but the
broad experience and advice adopted
by government reports Marine Hos
Jital Bulletin-sent to health bOards)
is that there is less danger during
school supervision than with schools
closed. under conditions such as arc
now present in Warren.
Children who are not allowed by
parents to attend school, must re-
main at home Children attending
school will be given a certificate by
the teacher Those who might be
seen OF their premises by speCiai
officer will be taken home, and il
necessary the homes placed under 4
modified or partial quarantine.
This measure Is not intended to
force parents 10 send children to
school when they fear TO do so, but
is intended merely as a measure for
checking a possibility for a spread
Of the disease in an uurecogniZeG
form among those children out OF
school who can not be frequently
observed.
