CroUded Cars

This is protest against unventilated street cars.
We grumbled about it to ourselves all winter
now we can't stand it any longer, so we're going to
grumble out loud.
IT is NOT POSSIBLE TO CALCULATE the
detrimental effects of the lack of ventilation in most
street Many persons know that long street car
rides in poorly ventilated ears result in headaches
and feelings of heaviness. However, these are
merely immediate effects. How much real disease
is traceable to the street cannot be estimated
Howard Lancaster, M. d., commissioner of health
of St Paul, Mimi, in an address delivered in Mime
apolis, said that 90 per cent of all respiratory dis
eases are caused by poorly ventilated street cars
during the winter months. He says further:
"When one considers the crowded conditions of
the ears many Of the occupants suffering from res
pratory diseases caused by the respective germs of
such diseases and that thus people practically inn
bibe an atmospheric soup composed of carbon dox-
tde, bad smells and microbes, my estimate that &c
per cent of all such respiratory diseases is brought
about by the poorly ventilated street ears is not to
wondered at.
at is my opinion that in a CAR CROWDED
WITH 100 PEOPLE or thereabouts, made to carry
only 90, GOOD VENTILATION IS AN IMPOSSI-
BlLlTY and the only solution of the difficulty is tc
prevent overcrowding"

go behind the disputed returns of FIVE
states. They were outvoted. The
commission became a farce. The
country was in an uproar. Angry men
threatened to march to Washington
and compel Justice A noted Ken
lucky editor started to raise such an
army.
Some of the returns were clumsily
fraudulent. These were accepted by
the commission to Z. The election
was finally given Rutherford b.
Hayes of Ohio, although loyal Demo
Gratis have never conceded that he
was Justly entitled to it.
The Democratic Banner of those
days, weekly, carried a column in
each edition, titled Progress of the
Conspiracy to Defraud Three Sover-
eign States of Their Electoral Votes"
Bitter, partisan feeling was intense
and it took number Of years to sub.
side. One day the Democrats would
celebrate over their victory; the next
day the Republicans were riotous ov-
er the election Of Hayes, etc. The
country waited and waited. Such
suspense had never been known be-
fore, or since.
The 1916 election partakes only of
the nature of that of 1876 in that 1t
has been bitterly contested and doubt
has been ever present over the out
come. Whatever the verdict, 1t will be
accepted calmly and dispassionately
by the people. The old spirit of 1876
is thing Of the past.

1916 AND 1875

Not since Cleveland's election I'm
1892 and, prior to that, Rutherford
b. Hayes election in 1876. has the
public been forced to wait so long
TO know the definite and absolute out
come of presidential election.
In 1892, both parties. for period
of several days, claimed the presi-
deney and 1t was finally acknow-
1edged that the Democratic nominee,
Grover Cleveland. had won out.
In 1876, the election was the most
bitter the country has ever known.
Early returns indicated the election
OF Samuel j. Tilden. the Democratic
aspirant. and, In fact tho Republican
Inaiional committee conceded the de-
tfeat of Hayes. A New York news
paper reporter was responsible for
the days and days Of delay which fol
lowed before the definite announce
ment was made. This Individual call
ed to the attention OF the Republican
committee the reported intimidation
OF negroes in the south. as well as
1he wholesale rejection of votes.
The committee. at least those mem
berB OF It close at hand, reassembled
and sent kilograms TO Louisiana and
other southern states. asking for full
reports Of all alleged fraudulent prac
tices. Then started the claims. coun
ter-claims, assertions denials, con
cessions, etc, which kept the country
in unrest for days.
Democrats alleged that ballot box
es had been stuffed. Republicans
claimed that negroes had been fright
ened from voting. Tho result was n
the balance. The national govern
ment finally appointed an electoral
commission, composed of soyen Dem
Oorats and seven Republicans, TO de

GOV. coxs vlNDIcATIoN

Tuesdays election was a complete
vindication of Gov. James M. Cox and
a proper and Just retribution upon
Gov. Frank B. Willis and his asso.
ciates.
Upon the defeat OF Gov. Cox two
years ago, 1t was confidently stated
that it would not take long for the
people Of Ohio to find out Mr.. Willis
for his proper worth, or. rather, lack
of worth.
The weakness of Gov. Willis was
made manifest early in his admins.
tration. His lack of executive and
business ability was soon revealed
His appointment TO important office
of men of such character, or absence
of character, as Philbrick, Bope, ct al
and his yielding to the lobbyist, Gar
ber, brought scandal to his admins
tration.
Under the guise of decentralization
and restoration of rights to the peo
Dle, his great prompting was to tear
down all the important acts of the
Cox legislature, but the real purpose
was to make places for henchmen
and build up monster personal po
iitical machine. Two Of the import
ant acts of his legislature we're halt
ed by referendum and annulled by
the votes of the electors, thus dis
crediting him and his pretentions.
Two years of a faler were quite
sufficient for the people of Ohio, as
was plainly shown by the vote of
Tuesday.
The calling back to the executive
branch of the government OF Ohio Of
James M. Cox is demonstration by
The people of Ohio that they desired
Tte rectify the mistake they made
Two years ago, when they were led
astray by malicious falsehood, mis-
representation and an appeal to pre-.

The calling back of Gov. James M
Cox Is vindication OF tho great pro.

cation.

APPEAL FOR RELIEF

At the October meeting of the Mt.
Vernon Ministers association an ap.
peal was presented from the Ameri.
can Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief, backed by the Federal.
ed Churches OF America and the
proclamation of President Wilson,
asking that steps be taken to give
the people of Mt. Vernon an oppor.
tunity to give to this cause.
In order to make 1t as far as pos
sible community affair and not sim
ply an appeal to the churches, it
was decided to make the offering at
the Thanksgiving service our united
gift.
This service will be held Thanks
giving evening at the Vine street
Church of Christ. Some time before
that date literature telling of the
great need and special envelopes for
the Offering will be distributed at the
various churches. Arrangements
will also be made so that these en-
velopes with a gift may be turned In
at the Sunday services of the church
es by any who are not able to attend
the union Thanksgiving service.
The cry of hundreds of thousands
in actual starvation ought surely to
make a strong appeal to every hu-
name heart among us.
