should have passed one of the mer-
riest Chrlstmases in town, what with
enjoying the consciousness of a noble
deed well done. Jimmy sent all
records to the wall last Thursday,
bowling a perfect score of 300 for the
third time in his career. and now
souvenir hunters are attempting to
secure sections of the alley he did it
on, much against his win, as his is a
modest nature and the alley belongs
to his father.

A new quarantine law will come up for
consideration before the city commission
ers this afternoon and probably will be
adopted. 1t is a part of activities of the
city authorities to stamp out the present
epidemic of scarlet fever.
While the city health department Off
Gals and other city officials decline to dis
cuss the present quarantine ordinance, t
is reported that it is not properly drawn
and does not permit of the proper en-
forcement of quarantine on a house in
which is patient i'll with a contagious
disease.
The proposed ordinance will give to the
city full authority to enforce quarantine
and arrest all persons. in the quarantined
house who come out and all persons OF
the outside who go in 1t is this extreme
laxity of the proper observance of quar-
antine rules in contagious diseases that
is said to be responsible for the present
large number of cases of measles, scarlet
fever and similar diseases and the new
law is intended to meet this situation.
DIR. Phillips to Parents
Owing to the fact that there is no effec-
tive quarantine of the homes, DIR. j. H.
Phillips, superintendent of the public
schools, yesterday issued a statement to
the effect that the schools were the safest
place for children. DR.. r. NJ. Cunning
ham, city health officer, yesterday mad,
public his comments on the monthly re-
port of the department for March and
deals considerably with the situation.

ITO Patrons of the Public Schools: In
view of the fact that large number of
contagious diseases have been reported In
some sections of the city, wish to assure
parents that every possible preca ution will
be taken to prevent the spread of diseases
through the schools. AS a matter of fact.
there need be no apprehension regarding
the infection of children while they are at
tending school. Every case of conta-
gious nature is promptly reported by the
city health department to the office of the
superintendent of schools This is inn
nedately reported, with name and street
address, to the principal of the school III
that district, and all children from the in
feeted home are promptly excluded until
readmitted by the health department. IN
addition to these precautions, books and
class rooms exposed to infection are sub
jected to a process of disinfection under
the direction of the medical inspector. III
many cases, all the children in grade
are examined by the medical inspector or
a trained nurse, and when any SYMPHONIC
of contagious disease are found. the pu-
pills are requested to withdraw until
further developments.

him. The puzzle Is how the horse and

without anyone knowing 1t had done

pants in the buggy got to this point
they made the horse walk slowly so
as to keep from attracting attention.
Once past this point 1t is believed the

horse at q brisk trot and when they had
gone about mile and half from the
farm they knocked Barton in the head
and took him to the by-path where the
body was found next morning.

SIX O'CLOCK CLOSING

THE Transcript is in hearty accord
with the move to close the town
stores at P. M, save on Saturday
nights, the year around, excepting the
month of December.
The leading merchants favor the
change, and fairness to the employees
who work long hours, demands that
they be given leisure for rest, recrea-
ton and self-culture When the hours
of mechanics and about all other toilers,
are being continually shortened, it does
seem unjust that this worthy class
should still work twelve or more hours.
Moreover, it is said that no real ne
cessity for the custom exists, since
most of the evening trading is done by
town folks who could, if they chose,
come during the day. The movement
should command the assent of all the
stores in the town, and public sentiment
could coerce any that should dissent.

THE AWFUL WAR c0STI

THE cost of this gigantic war is
staggering to contemplate On
the basis of data given by both sides,
we have made careful calculation
that if it last to the end of the present
year-and the best judges are agreed
that it will-the losses, direct and in
direct will amount to the appalling sum
of $50, 900, 900, 900, or almost half the
total value of the United States, by
far the richest country in the world
A number of experts put it at about
this figure though the late Ambassador
Bryce, thinks $40, 900, 900, 900 will be
the frightful penalty.
Many millions of the very flower of
the youth of the ten or dozen nations
involved, will be slain and thrice as
many severely wounded-a loss whose
awful total not only in money values
but in far-reaching racial consequences.
will be past all computation. The ONLY
horrible event in history with which it
can be compared is the shocking con-
dition of the Palatinate, Bohemia and
Germany at the end of the Thirty
Years War which closed with the
Peace of Westphalia in 1648.
1t is estimated that the population of
Bohemia was reduced from four
millions to eight hundred thousand,
while that of Germany sank from
twenty to fifty per cent-a single city,
Augsburg falling from 80, 900 to $1,000
in numbers. 1t is said that not until
the middle of the ninteenth century did
the number of horned cattle in Ger
many reach the figures of 1913 A
historian says 1.-The ruin was so great
that century was needed to repair
the ravages."
All today's fearful loss of blood and
treasure is due to the brutal pride and
dynastic ambition of the crazy Kaiser.
This neurotic paranoic had but to speak,
last July 28th, half dozen warning
words to Austria, when the whole of
this worldwide calamity would have
been averted.
This universal hell is the gift of the
autocracy of the imperial HohenzoIlerns
to the common people of Germany and
the rest of Europe-the privilege to
die on the battlefield like flies by
millions to please their royal master,
and their sons aid daughters for gen
erations to come to be saddled with
national debt of billions on billions
which will keep their faces in the mud
forever!
If this rude shock do not cure the
masses of Europe of their love for
Emperors and Czars-then nothing can.

DEMOCRATIC SLAMMING

W7HY it seems but yesterday when
that chameleon politician Col.
George Harvey and Mr.. Wilson, after
berating each other soundly, did the
moving David and Jonathan act by
falling on each others neck, and COM
mingling their mutual brine and
calling each the other "angel" ETC.,
and upon the Colonel's part some strong
swearing of eternal fealty to the
policies of Mr.. Wilson.
Now, alas it has come to this, be-
tween these two reconciled brother
Democrats:
''If Daniels has done a single useful
act, barring his boasted saving at the
spigOt while wasting at the bung-hole,
the instance has yet to be revealed.
If he has failed to utilize an opportunity
to discredit both the department and
the administration, the omission is not
apparent. 1t is idle then to murmur
Intellectually, How long, o Lord, how
longP Naught remains but to mini
mize SO far as possible the dismay
which attends the probability of being
compelled in 1916 to meet the cry: "A
vote for Wilson is vote for Daniels
no less than for Mr.. Bryan himself, and
for others who must patiently await
their turn in our weighing of their re-
spective achievements and capsbil-
ities."

aware statesman, Democrats may well

AMERICA FIRST

Inc huOlence hC a Oerndn-Amer-
lean mass meeting which hissed the
name of Bryan and gave vociferous
cheers for the Kaiser did itself no
credit and subordinated its Amer
icanism to a sentiment that cannot
later masquerade as patriotism.
The Kisses which greeted the name
of Secretary Bryan were not aimed
particularly at the man but at the
foreign policy of the government
of the United States. .-Ansonia Eve
ming Sentinel"
If things keep on at the present gait
it will be necessary for Americans in
mere self-defence to resurrect the
Know Nothing Party" of the fifties in
the last century.
Our hyphenated German-American
citizens who, it would seem are trying
to convince the country that in fact as
as in name they are Germans first-even
attempted to form new national party
of "German-Americans"
In the late election at Chicago where
Democracy got even worse served
than at St. Louis, they tried to work
the hyphenated dodge by appealing to
Democrats of German extraction to
stand by their candidate, for mayor a
''German-American." But the voters
repudiated the disloyalty of the sug-
gestion, and the blunder cost the Dem
Ocrats many votes.
Again and again German represen-
tatives to this country have violated
all diplomatic proprieties by criticising
our Government for the manner in
which it has observed neutrality to-
wards all the contending nations.
Now Count VonBernstorff is out with
an audacious attack upon this country
because, following the invariable prac-
tice of all nations in such cases, it
sells munitions of war to all who wish
to buy. Rating us-as though we were
to blame because England's superior
navy prevents Germany buying needed
fOOdstuffs and other war supplies as
freely as England herself.
Criticising US for not observing a
proper neutrality, in the same breath
he pleads the baby act, and demands
that we interfere in Germany's behalf
1t is a significant admission that the
Kaiser's mighty war machine is going
to pieces.
Harvard College boasts German pro-
fessor who has the impudence to tell
his classes of young men that the Ger
man system of autocratic tyranny is
preferable to that of our outworn De-
mocratic ideas
Finally, we read of an audience of
these hyphenated Americans" kissing
the name of the presidents chief cab
met member, the Secretary of State
Bryan, and ''vociferously cheering
the name of the Kaiser
But we have hopes that upon further
reflection our valued German-Americar
citizens will see the folly of this un.
grateful treason to the land that has sc
generously given them hospitality, anc
IN few months from now will be hearth
ly ashamed of themselves. But NOT, =
well, they and the rest may learn that
plain Americans without any hypher
have yet few rights in their own land
