TO PREVENT SPREAD
OF WHOOPING COUCH

E, r. Cation, city health officer. is
waging a war in Boise against the
spread Of whooping cough and is ask
ing full cooperation of parents of af-
flicted children and physicians, to OBJ
serve the regulations pertaining to the
quarantine. Concerning the conditions,
the health officer has the following to
say;
"Whooping cough Is raging in the
city at present, and unless the parents
exercise more care the contagion will
spread 1t is in very light form.
many OF the patients never reaching
the whooping' stage. and that no
doubt, leads the parents and children
into negligence in the matter of ex-
posture. 1t matters not how light the
cough may be, the more serious form
is apt to develop in any case, and
the same precaution should be exer-
cised in all cases. This office lis in
receipt of complaints charging that
children suffering from the cough are
allowed the complete freedom of play
grounds and streets. This is contrary
to the ordinances OF the city, and
sincerely trust that all parents will CO.
operate with my department in mini
MIXING this harassing malady. The
following is the provision Of the oFdi-
nance governing in such cases:
Section II. 1t shall likewise be
unlawful for parents or guardians to
allow children from any domicile
where any disease mentioned In section
is exists, whether actually suffering
from any of said diseases or not, to
attend any public school, or private
school or any public entertainment or
public gathering in Boise City, Idaho
from time of the discovery Of such dis
case until the removal Of the quaIan-
! tine thereon without first obtaining
the permission of the health officer
Section 10 mentions typhus fever
| typhoid fever, measles, whooping cough
and chickenpox
1T can be readily seen that If per-
mission is granted to one it must be
granted to all, consequently there has
been no permission granted TO any
one, nor win there be, and now that the
matter is plain, invite the help of al
parents and physicians in preventing
any further spread"

UNSETTLED LABOR CONDITIONS

The present year, ending May l, has
been one of unprecedented prosperity for
the American laboring man. Not only
higher wages have been" paid than ever
before, but shorter hours and favorable
laws have contributed supposedly toward
making him more contented and happy
The actual result, however, has been un-
rest and discomfort.
The past year has been marked by 1900
strikes, or about 300 more than during
the preceding 12 months While on May
1, wage increases went into effect benefit
ing more than 100000 workers, and ag-
gregating about $75,0OO,OOO annually
strikes, lock-outs, and labor troubles, i'm
pending or in force, now affect more than
half million laboring men.
What is the cause? According to The
New York World, these labor troubles
q are prosperity, and not poverty strikes. Z"
Munition plants, and other concerns
throughout the country, benefting fnan-
cially from the demand for war munitions
have advanced their employees wages from
5 to Is per cent, and, according to Mr.
Frank Morrison, secretary of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, 100000 more
men now employed by normal business or
factories, deriving no direct benefit from
war orders, and who have not had slice
of this new prosperity, are now devising
plans and schemes for securing their
share
According to the Socialist New York
Call, ''there is every reason to believe that
an epoch Of tremendous strikes looms up
Immediately ahead, if they are not averted
by concessions on the part OF the employ
ing class" Other papers, however, take
a much more cheerful view Of the situa-
ton, and point to the settlement Of the
long dispute between the anthracite
operators and miners, and to the fact that
the four great Brotherhoods Of Railway
employees are now earnestly striving to
settle their differences without a strike,
as happy indication.
These papers claim that present con-
ditions are only the readjustments that
naturally accompany period Of sudden
prosperity and that there exists no real
cause for alarm.

INDICATIONS POINT TO ROOSE-
VELT'S NOMINATION BY COM
BINED REPUBLICAN AND PRO
GRESSIVE ELEMENTS

Although the time for the Republican
and Progressive National Conventions in
Chicago is very near, there are perhaps
but very few people in the country who
can predict the outcome with any abso-
lutte assurance.
Roosevelt s name is mentioned more in
connection with the joint nomination Of
the two parties than that of any other
man. However, reports, which are dis
quieting to Republican leaders, continue
to circulate to the effect that Associate
Justice Hughes, Of the United States
Supreme Court, may be selected, notwith-
standing his declaration that he will not
accept, and the absolute silence which he
has maintained continuously when ap-
preached on the matter.
Congressman and political leaders, in
the national capital, were thrown into a
state Of great excitement on May Is, by
the report that Justice Hughes had ad-
mitted his willingness, in private con-
versation with ex-President Taft, to be-
come a candidate, but this seems to lack
confirmation.
All indications seems to point to the
fact that, with Hughes maintaining
silence, Col Roosevelt has by far the
largest following Of any man. The New
York Tribune has just taken a popular
straw vote, managed by accountants Of
the highest standing, having no connec-
ton with The Tribune staff Of 1881
votes cast Roosevelt received $500,
Hughes 1,064, Root 1876, scattering 451.
There is no doubt, however, that if Hughes
would declare his candidacy, many men
would join his standard who will other
wise support Roosevelt.
Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, who
was appointed chairman Of the naval con
sulting board by Secretary of Navy
Daniels, in speaking Of Col. Roosevelt in a
letter to the Roosevelt Non-partisan
League, has this week said:
"He has more real craftsmanship, a
better grasp Of the most important needs
Of this country and greater executive
ability to handle the big international prob
lens that will arise at the close Of the
war than all the other proposed candi-
dates put together"

MISS PANKHURST BELIEVES WAR
HAS HELPED CAUSE OF WOMEN
IN ENGLAND

Miss Cristabel Pankhurst, world famed
suffragette, in an interview with press
correspondent at Rome, Italy, few days
ago, is reported as saying:
''This war is helping the cause Of
women wonderfully We are helping the
men with all our might, with all our
strength, and I am sure they will appre-
ciate this fact when the war is over. *
II feel that in helping to down Ger
many, as the women Of England, France,
Italy and Russia are doing, by their ply
sical work, we are putting down the great
enemy Of womankind The Kaiser, you
know, has always frustrated the efforts O
German women to rise from their subor-
dinate position, and he typifes the atti-
tude Of the German men.
England has been driven out Of CON
servatism, at last. We women have shown
English men that we are worth something,
that we are not inferior creatures.
''Possibly the largest lesson for men in
this war; as regards us, is that women
know how to do mans work, and often
better than men themselves English wo-
men are driving motor cars, are workino
in the factories, on the farms, everywhere.
In England we have once more learned
the lesson Of the dignity Of labor with the
hands, and with woman's hands at that
FETo1av no woman in I'm O1and no ms
ter what her rank, is afraid to work
and this is a lesson we in England will not
forget after the war. That's one reason
why have always admired the people IN
the United States-they appreciate the
honor Of labor, of hard work, and are not
ashamed Of it, God pity them if their
wealth makes them ever forget this
truth"

BETTER UNDERSTANDING ON BOTH
SIDES IN MEXICAN SITUATION

The Mexican situation during the past
two weeks has been almost as varying
in it's aspects as the changing cOlors Of the
chameleon Major General Scott, who has
been in almost daily conference with Gen
eral Obregon for more than fortnight, is
now said to believe that the whole situa-
ton is less acute than it has been at any
time since the raid on Columbus, New
Mexico
The net result of the series Of military
conferences at Ell Paso, as reported to
Secretary of War Baker, has been to finally
convince the Carranza government that
the United States has no other purpose, In
it's operations, in northern Mexico than to
stamp out brigandage, and infict punish
ment for the raids on border towns and
settlements.
General Obregon, it is learned, entered
the conference with much apprehension as
to the real purpose Of the punitive ex-
pedition. To Mexican eyes, it. seemed as
though a great armed force could not be
moving merely in pursuit Of one bandit
chieftain and his handful of followers
and that the expedition was in reality a
step toward intervention by the United
States 1t is claimed that both General
Carranza and Obregon, his minister Of
war, now understand the motives OF the
Washington government more fully than
ever before, and that their suspicious
have, in a large measure been allayed.
Generals Scott and Funston have as
sured the de facto government that pre-
cautions will be taken by American com
manders not to dispose their forces so
as to embarrass the operations of the
Mexican troops, and also that the border
patrol on the American side will be
strengthened G en- r al ObregOn has
agreed to occupy and police the Parral
district. securing the mountainous regions
to the west Of that town in search Of the
remnants OF Villa s followers. He has
also agreed to establish strong patrol
along the Mexican side of the Big Bend
country, to prevent incursions int o
American territory.
While there has been no written agree
ment. Scott and Funston are now said to
believe that Obregon is acting in good
faith.
