Think Twice

Think twice before YOU mail the
note in which you give your anger
vent, in which you recklessly de-
vote yourself to skinning some
poor gent. For doubtless when
your anger cools. you'll kick your
spine up through your hat, and
say, Il was the prince OF fools
to send a man such rot as that
Think twice before YOU pass
along the scandal that you heard
last night: you may do some good
man wrong that years of effort
can't set right And though the
story true may seem, why rob a
neighbor OF his goat From your
own eye remove the beam before
YOU reach for tothers mote.
Think twice before you jaw your
wife: there was time, some
years ago, when YOU declared
you d make her life as cheerful as
picture show. Alas. she took
You at your word. as damsels do,
and always did: and all her mar
ried years she's heard her hus-
band yawping through his lid.
Think twice before YOU do a
thing your soul refuses to in
dorse: for every wicked act will
bring the certain penalty, re-
morse!

Would Save Time, He Says.

Capt. Luckett pointed out that ves-
sci could come to the navy yard, secure
guns and repairs and return to Hamp-
ton roads in thrty-siX hours, whereas
it would take much longer to go to
the New York navy yard. He cited an
instance several years ago when five
torpedo boat destroyers were repaired
at the local navy yard in four hours.
The New York yard had asked for
twenty-four hours in which to make
the repairs.

Whooping Cough Warning.

A physician Of this city has suggested
the general adoption of a plan now be-
ing followed in the southwestern sec
ton of Washington whereby children
afflicted with whooping cough are tagged
for the protection and warning of others.
This disease is unusually prevalent at
present and makes rapid strides at this
time when the little folks are kept out
of doors. The disease principle can be
carried by the coughing of a child a
long distance, much farther than is gen
orally understood, so that from q sin.
gle case not properly protected scores of
others may develop. A tag hung upon the
child or upon the perambulator in which
it is carried giving notice Of whooping
cough will keep others at a safe dis
tance.
There is no Disgrace in thus tagging
a child who is so unfortunate as to
suffer from this distressing disease. On
the contrary, to do 80 evidences a spirit
of kindly consideration which Is to be
highly commended. The tagged child
will be viewed with much more respect
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-07-02

than the one that is victim Of the dis
ease and is not tagged and from which
may 60 q wide radius Of infection.
Certain diseases are rated by medical
science as so dangerously infectious that
they must be held in isolation and the
premises must be placarded. Whooping
cough. however, is infrequently reported
to the health Office, and while one Of
the most infectious of diseases is al
lowed to persist without any warning to
the public If the parents themselves
will not take the precaution to tag the
child sufferer, who must be kept in the
open air for the sake Of recovery, the
law should intervene with the require
ment to hang upon the carriage or the
child itself some distinguishing mark
that will give the same degree Of warn
ing that rs given by the diphtheria or
scarlet fever signs posted on the fronts
of the houses in which those diseases
prevail

Not Senator Roosevelt.
This is from a New York news sto

This is from a New York news story:
I'm the last week the suggestion that
Roosevelt. who SAYS he is out of politics.
run for the United States Senate has
spread throughout the state. The sup-
gestion has evoked some approval. There
is n considerable Roosevelt following in
the republican party of the state, and
these men say he could win the Senate
nomination in the primary. There is
probably a more considerable number
who would rejoice 20 nave Roosevelt on
- republican ballot, just to have the
fierce. bitter iov o. knitting him. One re-
port is that William VI. Calder, ex-rep-
resentativc. candidate for the Senate
nomination in 1914, when James w.
Wadsworth won nomination and cleo
ton, has been to Oyster Bay to tell the
colonel that he will withdraw from the
race if the colonel will run"
For two reasons the suggestion should
fail. The Star mentioned one of them
the other DAY. Mr.. Roosevelt would be,
and feel, out of place in the Senate The
arena would not suit either his talents
or his temperament. Senatorial pro-
..eesses are too slow, and measured, and
orderly for him. AS a member he would
want cloture established, and want to be
:. put in sole charge of the rule. A very
Lrief debate on any subject would be
sufficient for him.
= The other reason is that as Mr.. Roose-
welt is now pledged to the support Of
Mr.. Hughes he ought to be, and will be

Wilson and Hughes.

With Mr.. Roosevelt definitely out of
the calculation, the race is between Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Hughes.
Four years ago Mr.. Wilson-to employ
the homely lingo of everyday politics
was pig in poke. His service in the
governorship of New Jersey, while cred
liable, had not revealed him in true
measure to the country. He was nomi-
mated for President largely on the as
surance of his supporters, and on plat
form prepared by the pick of the party's
leaders.
This year Mr.. Wilson must stand trial
on his record in the White House, and
on his party's record in Congress. He
is known quantity. The poke has been
opened, and he has emerged, and his
measure been taken. If he is reelected
his record and that of his party will
stand Endorsed. and he be encouraged to
pattern his future course by the past !;
to give the country during his second
term taste of the same quality he has
given it during his first.
A democratic criticism of Mr.. Hughes
characterizes him as pig in poke.
Who knows anything about him except
that he was twice elected Governor of
New York, and served six years as an
associate justice of the Supreme Court :
Who may say what qualities he would
show as PRESIDENT Why take a new
and untried man at such critical time
in the country's historyf
As a matter of fact, however. that
homely old Characterization does not fit
Mr.. Hughes. He is anything but pig
in a poke. He is neither new nor un-
tried in public affairs. His advance
ment in life has been due to success
achieved in every place he has filed.
As a successful lawyer he became the
Governor Of New York; as a successful
governor learned in the law he was
transferred to the Supreme bench; and
as a judge who when in politics had
shown unusual capacity for political
work he was called by his party unani-
mously back to the political field at a
time when bitter factionism demanded
a unifier.
Both Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Hughes must
be taken on trust as respects this year,
platforms. Mr.. Wilson. however, must
face his disregard Of the Baltimore plat
form, and the suggestion that he may not
if elected feel himself any more bound
by the st. Louis platform. In office he
has been his own platform. The plat
form on which Mr.. Hughes is standing
is strong structure; and if he is elect
ed and continues to stand on it he
should give the country very success
full administration Of its affairs.

More Men Needed.

Although the immediate tension Of
the Mexican situation is relieved, it does
not follow that the United States does
not need the services Immediately or
prospectively Of the National Guard on
or near the Mexican border. With the
release of the prisoners held at Chi
huahua the possibility of precipitate
hostilities has been greatly relaxed.
Nevertheless, it is important that re-
cruiting should continue at every sta
ton where the flag is displayed as a
sign that the country needs men for
military duty.
The recruiting in the District thus far
has been most satisfactory in quantity
and quality, although large percentage
of those who have offered their services
have been found physically deficient.
Still, there are vacancies in the ranks.
More men are needed. They may be 60
ing to the dull routine of camp on or
near the border, doing police duty with
out any of the stimulating excitement Of
a campaign They may be merely going
to concentration camps for purposes of
training and hardening, possibly there
to remain for weeks or even months.
Nevertheless, whatever they are assign
ed to do will be an important task.
The quality that yields faithful, un-
questioning service, wherever it may be
performed, in whatever terms or de-
gree, is the true quality of the soldier.
And the United States today is calling
for that quality 1t needs men who will
sacrifice their comfort and the GER
tainty of civilian life and take up the
role of sentry or guard regardless of
what the future may hold. 1t needs
these men, even though they may never
leave the camp at Fort Myer. Every
man who enlists becomes an important
military asset and a part of the safe
guard of the nation for peace or for a
successful discharge of its duties.
