Just few words regarding the
smallpox situation in Whining
ton. 1t should be remembered
there is not, nor has there been
commercial, it is stuliel more for
an epidemic Of smallpox in Will
mington. The total number Of
cases reported to the end of last
week was thirty-one, and of these
several have already been cured.
Much publicity has been given to
the outbreak to impress local
citizens that they should CO.
operate to prevent the situation
becoming serious in any respect.
The medical authorities unani-
mously agree that the precau-
tionary measures were entirely
successful. The Health Officers
with the assistance of the Police,
worked night and day to main
tain the quarantine regulations
in every infected section and eff
fectively checked the spread Of
! the disease.
Further, it should be remem-
bered that practically all of the
smallpox patients have been re-
moved to a properly quarantined
hospital several miles from the
city, and that this course was pur-
sued as rapidly as cases of the d.
sease were discovered.
It cannot be too clearly under
stood that the stringent measures
which were taken, such as closing
| the schools, theaters and saloons
were precautionary measures
only. The best medical opinion of
the city agrees that with such

IN the pond, creating much fun,
when the raft nearly upset.
The Boy Scouts knowledge of
first aid proved valuable, when
Scout Hayes tumbled down the
side of the pit, and sprained his
ankle. The injured ankle was
bathed in cold water, and then,
wrapped tightly with roller
bandage, after which it was again
bathed in cold water.
The troop arrived at home
about 9 p. M, tired but happy.

Threatened Railway Strike.

The issue between the railroad train and
enginemen and the managers of the roads seems
to be made up, and deadlock reached, the solu-
ton of which is to be referred to a general
strike. So far has the matter proceeded that a
definite hour for beginning the strike has been
fixed
Whatever of principle may be involved as be-
tween the men and the managers, their persis-
tency in clinging to the position assumed has gone
to point where public interests are concerned
The obvious fact that no matter which side wins
in the end the public is the chief sufferer, has
been before the committees all the time, and while
each has made appeal to the public for sympathy
and support, neither has felt moved to concede
jot or little of demands made to the end that
the public be protected in any of its rights. Now,
if the ordered strike comes as promised, public
opinion will hold both sides guilty. Proposals
and contemporaries have passed. but without
an apparent effort to find the reasonable ground
on which both men and managers could stand,
at least, while permanent adjustment could be
formulated.
What congress may do to avert the calamity is
not plain. The several proposals outlined do not
indicate the presence OF an effective remedy. OBJ
lection is raised by the men to compulsory arbi-
tration, and by the managers to the eight-hour
day as basis for calculating wages. Should a
law embodying these features be passed, its en-
forcement would be difficult matter. Seizure
of the roads by the government is beyond the con-
stitutonal power Of the president, unless he
should take the advice of Senator Newlands, and
declare a state of civil war. This expedient is
remote, even with immediate Legislative action.
Unless change comes over the spirit OF one
or the other Of the contestants, the strike, with all
its serious consequences, appears inevitable.
