eeiva attention.

ordinance Requiring all .n-nate p
and other filth to be covered from the
flies have changed their views, the moth
ers of Middletown are looking to the
Board to move in the matter by passing
that ordinance so that time may be TAX
en- by the forelock and the town protect
ed from the deadly flies when warm
weather comes again.
Certainly, no matter is so important
as this one of safeguarding the lives OF
the children from the peril Of infantile-
paralysis, spread abroad by the flies.
Remember, open manure piles and
infantile paralysis were shown to be
directly connected in the city of Phila-
delphia where wards having the most
stables, had the most cases of paralysis.
Then let our Board act at once, and
not put the matter off till the flies are
once more bred in the uncovered ma
nure piles to torment the citizens, and
carry their filth and disease into every
household.

Hughes Sympathetic With De-
mands of Labor Which Are
Proved to Be Just.

81 am sympathetic with every
demand to improves the eondl-
tions Of labor, to secure reason
able compensation for labor. !
am in sympathy with every ef-
fort to better human conditions,
and particularly the condition Of
those who toll in industrial pur-
suits, in railroad pursuits, In all
these great activities that are
essential to our prosperity But
when you have a proposition to
change the scale Of wage you
have a vital proposition which
requires examination. You must
at least know whether the de-
mand is a Just one.
Labor, Of course, should not
desire anything, but what Is Just.
do not believe labor intends TO
ask for anything but what Is
Just. What is Just can be eX-
amined and will survive inVes-
tlgatIon. Nothing Is lost by haV-
Ing the process Of reason applied
If only that which Is just Is
requIred."-Mr. Hughes In His
Speech at Portland, Maine.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS

We print on our local page an editorial
from the philadelphia Bulletin which
recites the warning of the medical ex-
perts that the germs of this most awful
scourge ever known in this land, infan-
tile paralysis, are long-lived and that
they may survive the winter to reap
pear with increase virulency in the
spring and coming summer,
It also adds the warning that all filth
sources of disease should at once re.

THERE SHOULD BE NO Ac.
TIoN UNDER PRESSURE,
UNDER DICTATIoN.

I'VE have one priceless treas
ure In this country, and that ls
the reign Of good Judgment after
public discussion. In the. Iona
history Of the people, victory
after victory has been won over
tyranny and force. We have a
free press, we have free form
Of public discussion, to the end
that there may be a general un-
derstandlng of our activities
and general appreciation of
what Is necessary to the I'm
proVenlent of our conditions.
We may disagree about this
measure or that, but we have
confidence in the public Iudq-
ment In the long run. Hence
there is one thing which we must
always maintain, and that is that
there shall be no action on the
part Of our elected representa-
tiVes, taken under pressure, un-
der dictation. We must know
what the facts are and what Jus.
tlce requires."-Mr. Hughes In
His Speech at Portland, Maine.

SURRENDER TO FORCE
WOULD TEND TO
DISASTER.

"That kind of virus In our
Iife-surrender to force-WouId
bring us no end Of disaster. II
we let capitalists or working
men, any interest, learn that the
way to get what Is wanted Is by
applying pressure and If we con-
tinue in that course for a few
years, democracy will be a fail
ure, and we might as we'll give
up our form of goVernment."-
Mr.. Hughes In His Speech at
Portland, Maine.

PUBLIC OFFICER SHOULD
STAND LIKE A ROCK

Government under pressure
is not American Government.
Whenever pressure is applied to
any public officer he ought to
stand like a rock and say: Here
! stand until we substitute rea-
son for force. It is not an
American doctrine to Iegislate
first and investigate afterWard.'
Mr.. Hughes in His Speech at
Portland, Maine.

WE SHOULD CONSIDER
WHAT is RIGHT
THEN DO IT

"our Government ls based on
the idea that we have LeaIsIa.
lures to investigate, to consider
what is right and to do what
Is right. It is based on the idea
that public opinion Is formed
from discussion Of questions,
and that we can come possibly
to right solutions. It Is not
based on the idea that the Gov
ernment must act without know
ing the justice and merits Of the
cause In which It acts."-Mr.
Hughes In His Speech at Port

TWO BALLAINES
 FILED SUIT
CLAIM TOGETHER $i5O,OOO AGAINST THE ALASKA
 NORTHERN RAILROAD.

Frank L. Ballaine and John E. Ballaine have filed suit at Anchorage against Alaska Northern R. k. and to- gether claim $45O,OOO damages be- cause of the suit brought by the Al aska Northern against the Ballaines and tried here last fall. John Bal laine asks damages amounting to $3OO,OOO and Frank asks damages in the sum of $15O,OOO. L. V. Ray went to Anchorage and filed the suit, ser vice being made on B. H. BarndolIar, the agent and secretary of the Alaska Northern since it was taken over by the government. William c. Edes is president and Lieutenant Fred Mears is vice-president. The govrnment still owes six hundred thousand odd dollars on the price of the railroad and when the time comes for the payment will probably pay this money into some bank in the District of Columbia and if the case is not settled it may pay the money into court and will be able to go on with the work on the rail road, the money remaining in escrO until the case is decided.
