HYSTERIA AND INFLUENZA.

Influenza is an aggravated form of
the grip" 1t is many times worse
than "a bad cold" and often the be,
ginning of pneumonia, in which case
it becomes quite a serious malady
Practically all of the deaths from
influenza result because the malady
developed into pneumonia, due prob
ably to carelessness on the part of the
victim
This particular epidemic of inhu-
enza, which has swept the country
and produced more than half million
cases of sickness, is the worst the ma
ton has ever known.
But it is not half as bad as people
have been willing to believe.
There has been too much hysteria
And hysteria in any illness is fatal.
Many victims of influenza have died
because they were almost scared to
death.
Many cases have been aggravated
from the inception because the victim
lost self-control and did not properly
resist the disease germ.
WfII-power often does as much good
as proper treatment.
The best preventative against ihtlu>
enza is to stay in good health and use
the necessary precautions. The
chances are then that you won't catch
it,
But if you 60 around looking for
an influenza germ on every corner
expecting momentarily to be assault
ed by a flock of them, you will very
likely get what you are looking f
The person who seeks troubls gener-
ally finds it.
If the newspapers Of the country
had not printed anying at all about
influenza, if the first reports had not
been so exaggerated as to excite
general alarm, it is more than prob
able that the epidemic would never
have become SO widespread.
Nevertheless, the influenza is here
with us, and if necessary the most
extreme measures should be used to
fight it. But, keep your head, odn't
become excited, and avoid hysteria.

MOB SPIRIT THAT SHOULD BE
PUNISHED.

1t is regrettable that the first DEM
onstration of the spirit of mob rule
that carried patriotic zeal to excess
should have been levelled against men
who were absolutely innocent of any
thing even remotely disloyal.
Those merchants of foreign birth
whose stores were open last night
until $50 had express permission to
remain open--they stayed open, with
official sanction, because the soda
fountains operated by the drug stores
were also open to like hour.
Investigation shows that every one
of these merchants has bought War
Savings Stamps and Liberty Bonds,
and has contributed to the various
war charities. They have complied
with the rulings OF the food admins
tration and have shown disposition
to live intellectually up to the law
Yet they were singled out by the
paint bucket, brigade, and their places
of business have been daubed with
yellow streaks and the words slack
er" has been painted on their side
walks
This is cruelty unfair. Moreover it
is outrageously unlawful. And the
perpetrators, whoever they are
whatever their standing in the COM
munity, should be adequately punish
I'd.

AMERICA TO THE RESCUE.

Remember the saying of some wise
man-"The biggest troubles I ever had
were those that never happened"
Before the united States got into the
big war, we were told by the Gloomy
Guses that all sorts of Shortages"
were going to put us out of business.
Paper would be a thing of the past, in
a few months; leather would follow
suit; dyes for inks couldn't be pro-
duced in this country, and medicines
would become unobtainable, because
Germany was the only country in the
world that could produce them.
Well-what happened?
There were strenuous times, of
course. and makeshifts had to be
used but-as a Nation-we survived.
And today, while there is no surplus
of these and a thousand other things,
America has made good in production
Today, for instance, better optical
glass is made in Pennsylvania than
ever came out of Germany-and this
is bue one item in a long list of things
that are made in America today.

THE RIGHT TO NEWS.

In at least one state of the union it
has been held unlawful to exclude
newspaper reporters from the meet
ings of public officials
That seems good law, and it should
be the law in every state.
County officials in Ohio barred
newspaper men from the regular ses-
sions which were held for transaction
of public business. After three years
of litigation, the supreme court has
held, in substance:
A newspaper man has property
rights in news relating to the &C
tons of public servants acting as
such, and is entitled to admission
to the official meetings of such
public servants.
This is generally accepted as the
policy of prudence and wisdom, and
few are the occasions when newspa-
per men are refused the privilege or
attending the sessions held by pub
lie bodies. We believe that in all of
the states. if put to the test, the prin-
ciple laid down by the Ohio courts
will be sustained.
