HEALTH QUESTIONS AND POL
rIHc

An interesting phase OF the educa-
ton of the public in health matters is
the attitude of the newspapers, which
are constantly giving more and more
intelligent discussion to health CUES
ltions. A hopeful feature of this dis
Icussion is the tendency to demand
OF public officials, local, state and ma
tional, support of public health move
ments. In a recent editorial in a Chi
lcago newspaper concerning alderman
lie primaries the attitude of prospec-
tive alderman concerning health mat
tiers is based first in the discussion
( of the qualifications of an alderman.
lit is said: "A bad alderman may do
YOU more harm than bad President:
If your child dies because he has
blocked a milk ordinance; IL your
family sickens In an epidemic which
an Inadequate health inspection has
made possible; if you wear your life
out with bad transportation, bad air,
had housing" This is followed by, a
discussion of the business and other
qualifications of candidates. etc. II
has, of course, always been true that
the health of the people should de.
Emand first consideration and that
health measures should receive ade,
Equate support; but health and health
measures have never received such
consideration and support, and poll
ltically regarded, the health of the
people has always occupied a subordi
mate place The Journal Of the Amer
lean Medical Association rightly says
that it is significant and encouraging
to find these matters mentioned as o.
first Importance in the qualifications
; of candidates for office.

SNOW COSTLY TO RAILROADS

Thousands of dollars are being ex-
pended by railroads operating in west
ern territory for the removed of ice
and snow, and many thousands of
claims for damages to or loss of
freight are piling up as the result OF
one of the severest winters, from an
operating standpoint, ever known in
this country. Statistics compiled by
officials of the Rock Island disclose
that $4,000 was expended for re-
moving ice and snow in January. as
compared with sls.00o paid out for
4 the same purpose in January. 1911.
The figures for February. not yet
compiled, will show, it is expected a
sum fully equal to that for January.
1t cost the Rock Island $1,000 to
4 remove snow and ice from its tracks
in December, 1911, as compared with
$500 for similar work in December,
1910. This represents an increase OF

THE GATE CITY AND MR.. LoF-
TOMS CANDIDACY

The peculiar position in which The
Gate City is placed by reason of Mr..
Lotions mayoralty candidacy is
causing some well-meaning people TO
reach wrongful conclusions This
condition is brought about by the
fact that Mr.. Lotion is an employee
of this office. In order to eliminate
all elements of doubt it is pertinent
and just to all parties involved to
state at this time that The Gate City,
nor its owners, neither by direction or
| indirection, had aught to do in determ-
lining the candidacy of Mr.. Lotion.
/ 1t is additionally timely TO say that he
| has no desire to profit by the appear
ance that The Gate City is promoting
Yhis candidacy. and The Gate City has
no desire or intention of creating such
an impression.
The position of this paper in the
present mayoralty contest is one of
the strictest neutrality. Being non
partisan election under the commits
sion plan The Gate City declines to diff
iferentiate between her citizens, leav-
ing that determination to the .ddg-
ment of all the voters. If it We're a
partisan contest no difficulty would
be encountered in making the align.
ment, but in contest of this kind
well, The Gate City is not bigger than
the community
This paper is not trying to defeat
Lotion, or elect him. It is not trying
to defeat Mayor Elder, or elect him
In the counsel of multitudes there is
wisdom and the multitudes determine
elections-not newspapers.
The columns of this paper are oper
to the candidates and their friends
for communications respecting Their
candidacy and civic views and have
been used freely. 1t is to be sincere

Taft is steadily growing in favor with

THIRD TERM MEANS DEFEAT. .

This legend, which was plastered on
the walls of Chicago during the mem
orable national Republican conven-
! ton OF 1880 and assisted in stopping
the movement to nominate Grant for
third term controverts Theodore
Roosevelt's statement that ''the pre-
cedent which forbids a third term has
reference only to a third consecutive
term"
| The convention OF 1880 was In SEES
sion two days, June and z, ana
Grant was candidate before 1t in
just the same position that Roosevelt
will be before the convention of 1912.
He had served two terms in the white
house and had been out of Office four
years. More than a majority of the
delegates to the convention interpret
ed public sentiment to be that Grant
was seeking a third term in contra
vention to the precedent established
by Washington. Garfield was nominal
ed
Thirty-six ballots we're taken.
Grants old guard" delegates abso-
lutely pledged to mustered its
strength of 304 votes on the first bal
lot Grant had just returned from a
trip around the world, during which
he was hailed by rulers of foreign
countries in such manner that he
had grown to be not only party and
national hero, but a world hero. He
landed in the United States short
time before the convention and his
path across the country was literally
lstrewn with flowers, the hosannas OF
the people ringing from ocean to
ocean.
The Grant campaign managers had
counted on the general hero worship
and enthusiasm for Grant to stam-
ipede the convention for him. They
thought that enough delegates could
be added to the 304 to bring the total
up to the 37s necessary to nominate
him. But they we're mistaken. The
thing that stopped Grants nomination
was the third term DOGGY.
The result in that convention quiet
ed the third term talk in either
Iparty until Mr.. Roosevelt revived il
by his change of front and his in
genious and original Interpretation Of
his own anti-third-term pledge.

Says New England IL For TAFT.


Former Representative j. Adam
Bede of Minnesota, who has just COM
pleted trip through New England
and Pennsylvania. said today
Il am for Taft for denomination
because know what he is made of.
The Republican party has never turn
ed down a President for second
term who is willing to accept 1t. Nor
have we ever given third term to
anybody who wanted it. But best of
all Mr.. Taft is OF the kind of stuff
that we make Presidents of. A year
ago. after telling me what this one
and that one wished to do, assuring
him that if he would do SO he would
be reelected, he declared, bringing
his big fist down on the table: 81
would rather be President for two
years than trimmer for six. / am
not playing politics with the office OF
President.
"Eeveryone has been crying to have
the government run on business prin-
ciples by some one not politician.
And now the only complaints against
President Taft is that he is not poll
tician and will not cater to the politi-
cal pie eaters. Four years ago was
not one of the original, enthusiastic
Taft men for President, as | believed
his judicial temperament fitted him
peculiarly for the bench. But we have
had three years of experience with
him in the white house, and we find
him today doing the worlds work.
He is one of the greatest chief execu-
tives doing his duty from day to day
regardless Of its effect upon his can
didacy for reelection
Il have recently been in New Eng
land, and inquiring carefully as to
conditions there, could not find a
break in the Taft column / believe
he will have solid New England
delegation at Chicago. It looks as II
some one is gold bricking' the La
Toilette and Roosevelt managers as to
conditions In the east
