set Of resolutions censuring Secretary

Practically all of these speakers said
that politics had nothing to do with
their action. They felt that. compos-

speakers were democrats as well as

FAVORS REGISTRATION
IN AFFIDAVIT BY MAIL
Secretary Lansing Thinks Federal
Employees Should Be Spared
Cost of Trip Home.

Secretary Lansing, who returned to-
day from Watertown, N. Y. where ne
registered Saturday, expressed himself
in favor of some plan of permitting
government employees in Washington
to register by affidavit through the
mails.
The cost of making two trips to their
home states, one to register and an
other to vote, is prohibitive. Mr.. Lam
sing believes. He would cut that cost
to half by legislative action permit
ting men in the federal service to have
their names placed on registration
lists by affidavit without being COM
PEELED to register personally. He would
extend that to cover men outside
government employ by empowering the
courts to acsRt registration aft1davits
and issue proper orders.
Mr. Lansing does not favor voting by
mail. but the same arguments he pre-
sents in favor of registration are pre-
sented by others favoring voting by
mail.
Several states have taken up move
ment, of which Iowa was pioneer
permitting voting by mail. The Iowa
soldiers on the border will vote in No.
vember under that law.
1t has been urged on behalf of gov
ernment officials and clerks in Wash
registration and voting by mail should
be enacted to save the present quad
rennia1 election expense of the Wash
ington voter.

the hazards of their employment.
Among the particularly virulent dis
eases with which public health en-
ployes come into direct and dangerous
contact are typhus, bubonic plague,
cholera, poleomyelitis and half dozen
other deadly plaques. Surgeon General
Blue believes that the employees Of the
service are in more danger, through
their employment, even than those en-
gagged in mine rescue work. He refers
particularly to the case OF a very
efficient employe of the bureau Of
mines who perished last week in mine

child are beneficiarfes under the work.

the public health service employees
should be similarly insured by the
government.
The mortality in the public health
serive has been very heavy, and a long
roll of honor has been kept of those
who died as heroes. sacrificing their
own lives to protect the public. AS the
Investigations and studies Of the serv-
