QUARANTINE HYSTERIA.
A Man Who Tore Down q Placard
Tells Of His Evaporation.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN--Sir: I
! noticed some days ago an editorial ar
ticle in our paper entitled "Quaran-
tine Hysteria," and I desire to give you
my personal experience with a board Of
health. I reside In West Orange. N. j..
and returned TO that town on July 80
after an absence Of approximately one
month. I have two boys. respectively
II and 10 years Of age. A quarantine
sign was placed on my home after my
return. The Board of Health afterward
Informed me that 1t was there because
I had been out of West Orange more
than forty-eight hours. I offered. ver-
bally n In writing. to give them the
certificate Of my W doctor or a certif-
cate from the health authorities Of The
place where / had been, showing that
! my children and the place where we had
been were free from Infection or 10

antinc me. This they refused to do.
stating that my children might have

be carriers OF i~nfantile paralysis.

they would quarantine me. but that |
might take my children to visit a local
hospital filled with infantile paralysis
patients. permit them to play with them
all day and return the same day. and
they would not quarantine me.
After they refused TO remove the
quarantine sign from my home I be-
came convinced that their action was
illegal and "A %usurpation of power. |

Ruma MIA Enters the War.

Rumania'S participation IN the war
promises results more important than
any other accession Ia the forces Of
the original Entente Powers. She
can throw into the field more than
half n million of fresh troops. She
raises n barrier between the Central
Powers and their Eastern allies. Her
position offers strategic advantages
for IN attack upon the bulgarian and
Austrian re0rs at II critical stage Of
the war. She may through her choice

He Is for the Man"

New York, Oct. 16.-That honest
hnsiness feels assured of a sound
prosperity and is not deceived by the
wall of votaries of predatory priyl-
lege is attested daily by letters sent
voluntarily to the headquarters of the
Democratic national committee.
Among these is one from Pierrepont
B. Noyes, president of the Oneida
Community, Ltd, of Oneida, N. Y,
manufacturers of the celebrated Com
munity Silver and Oneida game
traps-one of the leading industries in
the state.
This letter is to tell you that l
am with you" writes Mr.. Noyes. Il
started life a Republican and stayed
with that party until four years ago,
when | became convinced that its in
expungible worrying over the troubles
of the rich stands permanently in the
way of legislation benefitting the
masses.
MY enthusiasm in this campaign
is for the man-Wodrow Wilson. At
such time, the only safe leaders are
men immensely right at heart, and l
believe Mr.. Wilson to be such man.
Failure to retain such a leader
through these critical times would
convict the American people of the
blindest folly"
A similar letter, also from man
of big affairs, comes from II. f. Reiss,
treasurer of the ]. b. Colt Co, of New
York City Mr. Reiss writes:
"Since voting l have been a. Re
publican in national elections. | can
not, however, see my way clear to

know-nothingness Of the Hughes cam

speakers were Henry Morgantheau
former ambassador TO Turkey; Wal
ter Lippman, associate editor of
"The New Republic; Miss Annette
Kellerman. the actrcs, and Mrs. Amos

Miss Tarbell said in part:
"Mr. wilson's record of four years
IS so packed with achievement that 1t
seems to have left his opponent high
and dry. SO far he has thought Of
nothing to promise to do. In this di-
Iemma he has confined himself TO
criticizing not Mr.. Wilson's achieve
ments-he could hardly do that since
they are too obviously things that the
country wants,-but, rather. the meth
DDS Mr.. Wilson has followed in reach
ing his objects.

Hughes objects to the country's being
at peace, but rather to the means by
which It has been kept at peace.
81 do not understand that Mr..
Hughes objects to the federal reserve
law, but rather to the fact that the
law was not left as Mr.. Aldrich left
IT..
"a do not understand that Mr.
Hughes objects to an eight hour day,
but rather TO conducting an expert
ment by which the question could be
settled from facts instead of by a
strike"
"Mr. Wilson believes in diplomacy
the use of brains, argument, self
control, In settling international dis
putes, Mr. Hughes seems to believe
in settling them by force. Mr.. VII
son believes that measure like the
federal reserve bill should be handled

by the people. Mr.. Hughes would
leave it where Mr.. Aldrich put it, in
the hands of the few. Mr. Wilson
prefers that dispute like that be-
tween the railroad management and
railroad labor should be worked out
by experiment rather than by strike.
Mr.. Hughes would let them strike.
1T is a different way of looking at
the worlds problems. one is the way
of the future, the other, that of the
past

other, the way of the few. one is the
