WILDWOOD, N. j., Sept. 10, 1916

To JED DUBOIS,
Editor Five Mile Beach Journal.
Dear Sir:-It is considered to be the
duty as we'll as The privilege of the
press to keep the public informed upon
matters of general interest; but I have
failed to find in your paper any infor-
nation in regard to the presence and
progress, or to the decline of i~nfantlle
paralysis, which disease is now present
here, and I take the liberty of saying
that you are neglecting a valuable OPP
p~ortunity for doing good and proving
yourself useful as a purveyor of timely
news.
The practice of listing cases, with adj
dresses, is followed by all important
newspapers; such data being always
cheerfully furnished upon request by
local health officials as a part of their
duty to the public.
The actual truth is always the safest
position to occupy, and it is well known
that the enemy most to be dreaded is
the one of whose strength we are un-
Informed, or misinformed, and who
therefore, has a distinct advantage over
US; also that any mystery or obvious
concealment, instead of removing cause
for alarm only adds a supersti-
tious fear to what ia perhaps only a
slight danger.
AS it is generally known that infan-
tile paralysis is present here, and there
is naturally considerable alarm about
it, I suggest that you inform your read.
ers each week as to the exact number
of cases and their whereabouts, with
information as to quarantine precau'
lions, etc. Such course, instead Of
alarming people will tend rather tC
quiet and allay fear, for the actual
number of cases that have occurred
here is too small to III great alarm
and calling the attention Of the people
to the need of careful and particular
, sanitation in all directions will be help
ing to fight the enemy in the open

Candidate Hughes doesn't talk like

Hughes is hammering and the Demo
Gratis are yammering.
The Wilson Administration stands
for taxes, and more taxes.

Bryan says Mr.. Hughes talks aren't
judicial. No. The people can under
stand 'em perfectly.
Can the folks on the Democratic
band wagon continue to play by the
Presidents notes2
Hughes says the country can't be
saved by letting 1t drift. That's where
he and w. Wilson differ.
Washington reports that a new apol-
ogy has been sent to First Chief Car
ANA. Looks like a habit.
Mr.. Bryan is mistaken when he says
Hughes is "~vitriolic." The candidate
is merely applying the acid test.
A messenger of President Wilson
found out that Colorado women were
for the administration. No messenger,
of course, can be blamed for making
good.
Political opponents are beginning to
find that why Mr.. Hughes kept silence
so long wasn't because he had lost
his tongue.
Another encouraging feature about
our new navy is that when it Is COM

tary of 1t.

their property and depart from threat ening danger but at the same time 1t Is submitted that this Is no defence against the inference that the president was deliberately disregardful of both the rights and safety of American ciu, gems.
 It may justly be asked If It were advisable to warn Americans away from threatened dangers in Mexico why is it not equally advisable ro warn them away. from possible dan gers in Europef Ia not the life of an American equally precious in the one situation as in the other? Why should the president be willing 10 let Am ericans be killed In either case when It was possible to prevent 1t? It Is probably true that war would have resulted had the United States at tempted to invade the Mexican terri, tory to protect the lives of It's citizens but Is not there some considerable danger of our being involved with a far more powerful adversary If Am ericCns are to be allowed to place themselves In positions of danger ever though 1t be with the express wisl and consent of the chief executive! l! Is there such infallibility h the inter national law that the president can afford to stake the safety of the coun- try and the lives of It's citizens on his ability to hold others. and unwilling others-to its terms and dictates Yei that Is exactly what Is Is doing srivs to disguise the fact as we will
 The international law says certain thinga with relation to the rights oi neutrals and non combatants. It also sets certain Limitations to the con duct of naval warfare. all of which have received the endorsement of the very nations which are today breaking Us Aci iAlo DOAh bPiiik dou AhNhs I At pronouncement Is therefore of ex. eeedingly doubtful value. The presiden may be willing to accept the interna tional law as the gospel rule of th nations but 1t Is plain that the warning powers neither desire nor intend to abide by It's dictates. save as the
 may find the terms thereof compatible
 with their own desires and purposes
 Yet tho president insists that in tn, pursuance of hts desire to coerce them into observing what they openly dis avow. the ives of Americans. who may ba so bold as to accept his dictum may be needlessly jeopardized. merely because he cares not to listen to the dictates of discretion by refusing tt allow congress to warn them agains. going into dangerous situations. n refusing to allow congress to place i tcvond the power of the citizens o1 the nation to create dangerous situa tions for themselves and their countr, through warning them to refrain from going where every dictate of reason and good judgment says they should not go. the president is displaying 9 seeming perfect willingness that Am erican lives may be sacrificed while he is busy trying to convert the nations to a so-called law that has little honor at best

NOME, ALASKA, FEB. 2s, 1916.

The attitude of MT. Wilson toward
 the congressional inclination to warn
 Americans to keep away from armed
 merchant vessels of the belligerents is
 not only rather hard to un-
 dertand but also leads to
 some decidedly interesting Infer
 ences. The most outstanding of these
 Is that appearances are decidedly in
 favor of the view that the president
 has little or no regard for the lives
 of Americans In general and particu-
 larly those who would be placed in
 danger as a result of travelling on
 armed belligerent ships; another Is
 that he has so little concern for the
 future that he Is willing to stake the
 Its citizens on his own ability to force
 the Germans to observe a certain
 method of procedure, with nothing at all to back him up but the doubtful
 terms of a code that Is given little or no regard by any of the belliger- ents-save in so far as its rules are beneficial to their own interests Both are of a decidedly disquieting nature and. further. if considered in the light of past events, are sufficiently sup ported by facts to make them seem almost realities
 Such view is admittedly at wide variance with the presidential utter ances, which have at all times par taken of the loftiest regard for the
 welfare of humanity and the peace and prosperity of the nation over which he rules, but when we search the records of past performances there seems a considerable discrepancy be- tween the profession and the deed. In Mexico, for example. MT. Wilson be- trayed neither haste nor inclination to atop the murder of Americans although the records of the period were filled with numberless irrefutable evidences that dozens, nay hundreds. were being slaughtered by the various contending factions. It will also be remembered that the remorseless killing of Amer icans waS openly discussed in the halls of congress and liberal dsnuncia- tions offered the careles attitude of the administration. If we remember rightly 1t was Senator Kern who of fered to present to the inspection o1 congress affidavits concerning the slaughter of something like two hun dred American citizens and further stated that he could produce as many more showing that the killing of Am ericans was apparently a sportive amusement in tho lower republic. MT Wilson paid no attention to either the denunciations of congress or the rec ords of slaughter printed In countless numbers in the press of the country The wanton killing of Americans, and also of those of alien races to whom this government practically guarantees protection of life and property under the terms of the Monroe doctrine, was apparently a very small matter in the l view of the president judging from the ease with which he disregarded | he testimony showing conclusively | that tho foulest crimes were being l against the lives and per ,ons of the citizens of the country | whose directing head he was.

" EQUAL RIGHTS

If a woman went down town with
a cigaret in her mouth, stood around
on the corners and squirted tobacco
juice all over everything, swOre every
other breath, used foul language and
staggered around, she would soon
be arrested. But a man can. do it
and get away with it. Why?-

the Chicago Health Bulletin says in
part: "The anti-spitting ordinance
is on the statute books, and every
little while the people are reminded
that the law is alive by newspaper
stories Of arrest and fine of individ-
Uals for expectorating on the side
walks. But citizens go right on spit
ting, perhaps a little more warily,
lest Bluecoat and Brass Buttons spy
upon them.
1T is the male population that is
chiefly at fault Cigars and cigarets
are largely to blame for this. The
seven pounds Of tobacco per capita
which Americans consume annually
in smokes, chews and snuffs, stimu-
lates the flow Of barrels and barrels
of male saliva and mucus, which,
mixed with the juice OF the weed is .
not good to swallow. The ubiquitous
cuspidor is evidence of this; but I'M
fortunately the spittoon is station
airy, while the impulse to spit is on
the move and acts mostly between
spittoOns,"
That's good stuff! If you must
spit, spit in the street at least. That
reminds us Of a well-known sign
which reads: IF you spit on your
floor at home, spit here" That would
apply nicely to our sidewalks.
