WHY, IF AND BECAUSE.-There
are three words in the English Ian
guage that puzzle me which of the
three is the greatest. They are
why, if and because.
We tell a lot of things to the chill
dren. The child upsets our whole
equilibrium by asking why, why is
this so, why is that so? Why does
a chicken cross the road? Because
she wants to get on the other side.
Why do all the men turn to rub
Der? Because they want to make
sure that she gets across all right.
Then, again, if Wilson gets the
doubtful Republican states he viii

be elected. If the dog had not stop
ped he would have caught the rab-
bit because in that case he would
have been more hungry than he was
something else. That's why. Can
anyone tell why is a bedbug? Why
is a weed? Has not woman the best
answer when she says because?
Which of these three words,
Forum readers, are the greatest?-

BENSON AND GUINEA. - l am
going to vote the straight Socialist
ticket because am a union man ev-
cry day in the year. IwoUld not scab
myself on election day by voting for
any other party or candidate. You
ought to be the same because you
run the only union daily English
speaking newspaper in Chicago. You
know you have a class of readers
that no other paper in Chicago has.
Your readers think for themselves
and let no newspaper do their think
ing for them. You see, you cannot
palm off Wilson or Hoyne on your :
readers
Wilson has not kept US out of war.
The people themselves do not want
war and Wilson knows it. If the peO-
pie of Europe were like us, there
would be no war over there today.
No man can force a nation into war
when it's people are against war.
So, Mr.. Cochran, give the people
credit for this, not Mr.. Wilson. Now
let us look at the 8-hour day that
you are praising Wilson for. You do
not tell the people about the joker
there is in it. The loophole is in that
committee that Wilson has made
himself, to investigate if the rail-
roads could afford to work their men
eight hours a day. Two to one that
the committee will report that the
railroads cannot; so Wilson will tell
the men he has done all he could for
them. Why did he ask the 8-hour
day for the railroad men only? How
about the other working men and
women? Why, you know as well as
1 do that they control a big vote for
Mr.. Wilson.

 Points to Congress Vote.
 That was the proposal which they re- jected and which congress put into law, proposal which l made to them before them at every conference and which when the one side rejected and the other side accepted went to congress and asked con- gress to enact.
 did rot ask either side whether 1t suit ed them, and I requested my friends in congress not to ask either side whether 1t suited them I learned before the contro- versy began, so far as I concerned in 1t, that the whole temper of the legislative body of the United States was in favor of the eight hour day.
 When I carried it to congress some very interesting things happened. In the house of representatives the plan was passed, was sanctioned by a vote which included, I am told, about seventy Republicans as against f1fty-four Republicans, and in the senate I am informed that the Republican members of the senate held a conference in which they determined to put no ob- stacle in the way of the passage. of the bill. Now this was because the proposal was reasonable and was based upon right.

YELLOW FEVER
 BOARD RETURNS
General GOrgas Next to Ex-
 anime Amazon VaIsy.
TO FREE SOUTH AMERICAS
Had to Come Back to United States to Get to East Coast After Studying Plague Spots in Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Ecuador and Panama.

General w. C. Gorgas. T.. &. A., chairman of the yellow fever commits sion of the Rockefeller foundation, with other members of the cCmmis- sion, are in New York on their way to the east coast of South America.
 The commission visited Chile Bo- livia, Peru. Ecuador and Panama and was obliged to return to the United States to lake d steamship for Para. Rio de JaneirO and Santos. The eX- pertS will examine the Amazon valley next.
 Besides General Gorgas. who got four months leave of absence from the army to aid the investigation, the com mission includes pr. Henry R. Carter, United States public health service, clinician; Dr. Juan Guiteras. head of public health service of Cuba, clinician and general adviser; Dr. C. C. Lyster, clinician; Dr. Eugene R. Whitmore. patholOgist; Dr. William D. Wrightson. sanitation engineer; Harry H. Wake field, secretary.
 To Clean Pest Holes.
 The commission left New York city on June II on the Almirante to inves- tigate yellow fever in South America
 The sending out of this commission is the result of studies begun in July, 1914, by the International health board of the sanitary needs and responsibili- ties growing out of the opening of the Panama canal.
 The opening of the canal has wrought radical changes in trade relations. Countries land ports between which there has been little or no exchange are to be brought into close relation.
 Pest holes of infection that have been relatively harmless because of their isolation are going to be on or near the worlds highway of commer- cial travel.
 The opening Of the Panama canal thus calls for new sanitary map of a large region affected by the canal and for lew sanitary program to meet the changed conditions.
 Army Cleaned Havana.
 Prior to the work of Reed and the army commission in Havana yellow fever was regarded as one of the great plagues. For more than zoo years the tropical ahd subtropical regions of America had been subject to devastat- ing epidemics of the infection, while serious outbreaks had occurred as far north as Philadelphia and Boston and as far away from the epidemic centers as Spain, France, England and Italy.
 It is estimated. for example. that the epidemic which visited the Mississippi valley in 1878 caused 13,0OO deaths and an economic loss of more than S1OO,- 100000.
 The discovery of Reed and his vel low fever commission made the con trol of the infection possible. So far as our own country is concerned, the fangs of yellow fever have been drawn Its eradication from Havana removed the chief source of our danger.

 That Mrs. John C. c. Mayo. formerly of Huntington, w. Va. widow of the Kentucky coal operator, has forfeited $20.00000O to become the bride of Dr. Samuel R.

Starting out by acquir- ing options on squatters' claims in the Kentucky mountains, he sold them for $25O,O0O. With this he established q number of coal companies.
