ONE GEORGE w. PERKINS

In a communication to the New York Times a few days ago George
w. Perkins, Roosevelts chief of staff, stated that President Wilson was
elected by a "huke." Rather strange reasoning when a plurality of W
100000 votes constitutes a huke, but it isl kesa good many other assertions
Mr.. Perkins has made of late. He is also responsible for the statement
that Mr.. Wilson belongs to the party that tried to "debase Ut currency
twenty years ago"
Kind of tough criticism to put on the Democrats after the Republicans
had been bowling for bimetalsm for twenty years. but when Mr.. Perkins
environments are considered perhaps some excuse may be made for him.
Possibly within the next few months, the gentleman will become so naus
capital and join the expatriates. But not to fight, however. His valor
does not u beyond his mouthngs.

SAYS PARENTS ARE NEGLECTFUL

Fathers OF school children shmk their responsibilities as parents, ac-
cordng to {. E. Rugh, professor of education at the University of Cali
fornia, in an address o a meeting o. the Garfield School Parent-Teachers'
association in Berkeley. -+"
Professor Rugh scored the parents of today for their lack of compan-
ionship with their children and declared that fathers particularly shirked
the responsibilities Of arenthood: He stated tina. "a recent survey al n
of the Berkeley schools showed that 80 per cent of the children did not
know the occupation OF their fathers" and that in his survey he had
found that so per cent of the children did not sit DOWN to a meal with the
entire family in three days. , %

LOT DUE TO COMBINATION

The exigencies Of val may be responsible in part for the increased
prices Of commodities, but in many case it is due altogether to combina-
ton. An evidence OF this a demonstrated the other day when The APP.
peal office received three revised and confidential price lists" from as
many Pacific Coast paper houses. They were all dated and mailed the
same day and received in Carson at the same time. Except for a change
nam the articles, various grades of paper, we're all the same and the
prices yer identical to the fraction of a cent. But all showed an increase
above the rates contained in the "conhdental' list sent out the month
previous, and from every line scntilated the word combination.
In some OF the higher grades of paper, where dyes and bleaches are
used, there is perhaps some reason for increased cost, but o. ordinary
newspaper there should be little increase we the price of two years ago
except to cover what slight raises have been demanded by labor and trans
poration. Paper Of the kind mentioned is made altogether o n the Pacific
coast and % far Is known timber is just as abundant o as it "a two
year ago, when newspaper was selling at just one-haf of what it is at
the present time.

Every woman suffrage state of the Union showed a remarkable change

fra2e in 1910, cut its Republican plurality from $1,000 in 1908. and gave the
Democrats a plurality Of 1850 this year.
Oregon, giving women the suffrage in 1912, gave Taft a plurality OF
24O0 and gave Hughes less than 5000
California, which let women vote in 1911, has turned its Republican
plurality of $1,000 to- a Democratic plurality of 5000 or more.
Nevada, giving suffrage in 1914, increased its Democratic plurality
from 500 to 5000.
Idaho, n Of the old suffrage states, having gone Sc in 1896, turned a
Republican plurality of 10000 into a Democratic plurality Of $4,000 or more
Montana, becoming a woman suffrage state in 1914, made the most
remarkable change of all, turning a Republican plurality of about 5000
into a Democrats plurality of $1,000 Or more.

1000 Democratic n a total vote of a little I'VE 10000.

ELECTIONS THAT COST TOO MUCH

Once more at the close of a long drawn tut presidential campaign the
thought will occur to most people that these contests begin to early, de-
mand too much time and cost too much energy and money
June conventions are a survival of the stage-coach days when commu-
ncation was slow and difficult. Under existing conditions there is no
necessity for making nominations before September, and a month devoted
to the consideration of the claims of candidates and parties should be
ample. Formerly vas sections of the country were difficult of access. To-
day there is hardly a hamlet from coast to coast to coast that is not in
touch with or within easy reach of the telegraph, the railroad and the
printing press.

PREJUDICE VERSUS HEALTH.

by Or John W. Duke. Commissioner
one Of the greatest obstacles to
effective health is the prejudice held
in certain quarters against methods
and measures which long since have
been proven beneficial. OF course
these prejudices are due to ignorance.
for every human being desires health
rather than illness It is also true
that many OF these prejudices have
vanished in recent years. that others
are losing their force. Yet it stin
remains unfortunately true that
health officers. physicians, sanitari-
ans and others who are working for
the public health too often find their
efforts handicapped by popular be
liefs which long since have been
proven unfounded
Nothing i'm medical science is
more clearly established than that
vaccination is the great preventive
of smallpox. In former centuries
smallpox was one of the scourges of
the world. Its victims were TO be
found in every community. no matter
how small The death rate was enor-
nous and many Of those who escaped
death were disfigured for life. Even
In civilized communities its toll was
huge. while among unciyilized peo-
pies whole tribes were sometimes
swept out OF existence Now the
death rate from smallpox is extremely
small and it will entirely disappear
Just as soon as vaccination becomes
universal Yet even today there are
many persons who question the value
of vaccination and an organized
against it not only exists.
but has no trouble in finding funds.
There is an old proyerb about leav-
ing fools to the consequences Of
their own folly but fortunately the
person who refuses to be vaccinated
not only risks his own health and
life. but is a distinct menace TO the
entire community. The only remedy
is for the state to exercise more
and drastically its un-
questionable right to enforce restric-
