THAT CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE LETTER

To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir-ln todays edition o: your pa
per, the leading editorial headed 1T
is Job for the Attorney-General" is
devoted to the reproduction of let
ter addressed and sent TO the Levy
Court of New Castle county by the
president of the Chamber of Com
merce. in which it is suggested that
the court submit itself to an investi-
cation.
You are. no doubt. fully coenizant
Of the fact that when a communica-
tion is addressed by one body to an
other, especially a public body, COURT
esy alone is sufficient reason that the
writer should not make the cores
pondenco public until the recipient
either does So or delays so long that
its intent becomes evident.
Representatives of the local press
have insistently demanded copies Of
this communication from the eXecu-
tive officers of the Chamber of Com
merce, ever since IL became known
that one had been sent. Obviously.
for the reason above stated. It was
not possible TO comply with the re-
quest.
The phrasoology Of your opening
paragraph Through the courtesy of
member of the Chamber of Com.
merce" is no doubt unintentionally
misleading, nut the Levy Court as
well as the reading public is led TO
assume that the letter has been given
publicity first by the Chamber OF
/ Commerce. and, by inference. through
one of its executive officers.
In view of the fact that neither the
+ Chamber OF Commerce nor any of its
4 officers was in any way instrumental
in making the communication public

opening paragraph Is manifcstly OBJ

DR.. CLAYTON Predicts
SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN

WASHINGTON. D. c., May 26-In
a notable address before the gradu-
ating class of Fairmont Seminary.
one of the leading girls schools of
this city, with students and alumnae
present from almost every State,
Philander p. Claxton, Commissioner
OF Education of the United States,
predicted the early dawn of woman's
suffrage.
you might as we'll stand on a
bridge over the Mississippi and with
a whisk broom try to sweep back
the waters as they rush to the sea,
said DR.. ClaXtOn, 'as TO attempt 10
stem the tide of public opinion in
favor of votes for women.
when the people of Memphis hear
that the Mississippi has reached flood
tide at st. Louis, they know the flood
will reach them. Just as the floods
ia rivers are caused from little rivu-
lets and smaller streams, so is the
food of public opinion for woman's
suffrage being made up in the United
States. Nothing can stop It.
THE graduating classes of 1915
have greater obligations and greater
opportunities than any class ever
graduated in this country. because the
war in Europe has given America her
great opportunity and unless we take
the leadership in everything we viii
be recreant to our duty. The young
women graduated this year will have
a larger opportunity in the worlds
work than any graduated before. So
it behooves the girl graduates of 1915
to consider their opportunities and
obligations very seriously, for with
the coming of suffrage they are going
to have a great opportunity to help
make laws of the future and those
laws will be only as just as public
sentiment makes them. You young
women will have as much to do in
the creation of this public sentiment
as your brothers,
Dr. Claxton's vigorous endorsement
of woman's suffrage has caused much
favorable comment in the. National
Capital, especially on account of the
widely representative audience be-
fore which il was delivered.

APPROVES USE OF
VACCINE VIRUS
Does Not Cause Tetanus,
Declares Public Health
Expert.

Interesting scientific studies dealing
with the relation Of teta1us to vaccin-
alton we're recently completed by Di.
rector John F. Anderson OF the HyT-
enic laboratory. L. S Public Health
Service
DR.. Anderson states that tetanus is
never contracted through vaccine VI
rus. and he presents evidence which
goes toprove that the limited number
OF authentic cases developing after
inoculation have invariably been due
TO contamination OF the wound subse-
quent 10 vaccination.
During the last l3 years the Hygi-
enic laboratory. charged by law with
the regulation Of the manufacture and
sale Of vaccines and serums. has ex-
amined specifically for the organism
OF tetaHus sufficient vaccine TO vac
cinate over 100000 persons. and in
not single instance was the presence
OF tetanus bacilli established. Mon
keys. which are susceptible both TO
vaccination and tetanus. were inocu.
lated with virus heavily contaminated
with tetanus spores. While develop.
ing takes they remained absolutely
free from symptoms OF tetanus. The
same Treatment was accorded guinea
pigs. equally susceptible to the dis
ease, with similar results. Moreover.
