It's Somebody's Case

A standing misunderstanding between the county and city health departments ought to be settled in the interest of humanity. There is young lying in the county jail suffering a broken leg sustained in falling being thrown from a moving which he stealing ride The accident occurred distance outside the city limits but within the county. The victim brought the county jail which, by the way, is a hospital.
 He denied admission to the county hospital the ground that he resident of the county and the physician, it is said, declined the same ground to treat him, and the further ground that he was not on the county indigent list and therefore did under the terms of his contract with the county.
 An appeal then made to the city health officer, who said that rather than permit the suffer longer he would treat him private physician, but in his capacity city health officer for by doing so he might oblgate the city for the unfor- tunate Moreover he said the city had proper place for the of such it could only him of the private hospitals where it would be bound for the care of him. The city physician urged the removal of the to the county hospital, but late Monday night he still at the county jail
 The county is doubtless following generally salu tary rule, in the main wise one, for limitation must be placed the dispensing of public charity. The county physician is standing squarey his tract with the county, but here is a human being during suffering which should be relieved promptly possible. Above all rules and contracts this is call upon humanity. It is the business and duty of somebody afford relief. This may be a county case" and it is certainly "city case" It is though humanity case"
 We hope that the city and county authorities may be brought together that it will be dealt with and that broader and humane rules may be laid down for the treatment of similar cases in the future.

change. Then in haste he forced the enactment of the Hay bill which mili- tary experts and the thousands of na- tional guardsmen now on the border know is a poor makeshift for real pre- parcdness.
 People should not be fooled by the catch phrase, Wilson has kept us out of war" The alternative of our pres ent conditions is not war, but honor able peace based upon the absolute protection of the lives of our citizens on sea and land. In this way only can we gain the respect of other nations, and in this way only would we de- serve it.
 Had Germany believed that Wilson meant what he said there would not have been the Lusitania horror.
 Had Mexico believed that Wilson really intended to protect Americans, there would be totally different situa- ton on our border The dreadful toll of Wilson's Mexican policy is more than three hundred American citizens murdered and many hideous outrages upon American women. How can women at home approve such record Had Wilson shown strength and force in the beginning, Mexico would have feared to commit such outrages. His weakness provoked attack and induced contempt.
 Wilson preached rbitration-fOrced arbitration treaties through the senate
 when there was nothing particular to arbitrate, but when the vital principle of arbitration was assailed in the rail- way controversy, he abjectly aban- doned it. That measure attempts to fix wages for a special class without investigation of facts, and imposes upon the farmers. manufacturers and the travelling public an additional cost for service without a determination of it's wisdom or justice.
 Wilson wanted votes, not facts.
 Hughes dares stand for principle; i; he wants facts upon which to wisely base action and is not frightened by threats
