"Due to Pacifist Sentiment"

"In short. President Wilson's re-elec-
tion by the greatest popular vote ever
given a presidential candidate is due
primarily to the fighting pacifist senti-
ment in the United States. which aban-
doned local traditions and party lines

That Congressman Tavenner and
Bailey failed OF reelection. although
a matter Of regret, Is not very strange
or significant. Both men were demo-
Gratis elected from districts which have
always been overwhelmingly repub-
lican; under the most favorable con-
ditions their seats were insecure. Vast
ly more significant was the total fall

to defeat the three Ohio congressman

opposition to militarism-Represent

CHARITY AND
 HEALTH BOARDS TO SWAP BILLS
Tuberculosis Cases Charged by
 Health Board Against Charities Board

For how long a period, and how many tubercular cases should be treat ed at the Isolation hospital by the board of health to equalize the rental part of Hillside home for the care Of infantile paralysis cases since the out break of the disease? That is the question which must be figured out by the membefs of the health and ehari- ties board.
 The question was brought up at the meeting of the charities board yester- day by Spencer. R. Gordon, superin- tendent of the charities department, when a bill was produced from the health board for the care of num- Der of tubercular- patients. Persons, under the present status, afflicted with the white plague, are regarded as pa- tients under the care of the charities department, but the health board takes care of them at the Isolation hospital. The health board charges the chari- ties board for the sustenance of the patients.
 Infantile paralysis cases have been confined to a wing of the new Hillside home and all the laundry for the pa tients and attendants, amounting to about 1000 pieces a week, has been done at the home by the employees of the charities department. Similarly the food served the patients. nurses, etc, has been provided by the chari- ties department as well as the building in which the cases are housed.
 When the bill was presented yes- terday, Superintendent Gordon remark ed that Tn view of the fact that the health board desires to be remuner- ated for the care of the tubereular cases, he believed that tt would be no more than right if the charities board sent in a bill for the rental, food and laundry for the poliomyel1tis- cases.
 According to Gordon, the matter is one of a matter of bookkeeping, whether both boards shall erase the slate and call everything "square'' or whether each shall present bills to the other, simply to make extra bookkeep- ing. The matter will be threshed our by the presidents of the two boards, F. w. Behrens. Jr., and Dr. F. w. Stevens. //
