not attempt to "cure the cold" by self
applied remedies. Dallying with such
an affection is highly dangerous not
only to ones self, but to others. There
is no Law for the isolation Of influenza
cases, and SO sufferers who are able to
walk may 60 abroad freely, spreading
the contagion. Physicians are not
compelled to report such cases, and so
no record can be made of the preva-
lence Of the disease, save as medical
men in a spirit Of public service volun-
tarily make reports to the authorities.
It is unquestionably the duty of every
person promptly to report his ailment
to a physician and of every physician
to report every case Of established in
duenza to the health officer.
There should be no public alarm over
the situation. The influenza is a most
distressing disease, and to a slight ex-
tent is fatal. But agitation invites it.
Fresh air fights it. Common sense will
aid in its defeat. Avoid densely crowded
places as much as possible. Walk to
and from your work if you can and
keep away from the packed street cars
as much as your time permits. And
the first symptom should be regarded
as warning and promptly needed.

Patriotism and Gasoline Saving.


Today again the people Of the coun-
try have an opportunity to do a bit
toward winning the war by abstaining
from the needless consumption of gas
oline in pleasure motoring. It should
be rated as q privilege to have this
chance to aid. Ever since we entered
the war millions of Americans have
been asking, "What can We do to helpf"
They have had various occasions to
render direct and indirect aid. They
have been asked to economic in their
food consumption, in their use of fuel,
in their dress, in various forms of in
dulgences and luxury. They have been
asked to subscribe not merely to gov
eminent loans, which are in the way
of profitable Investments, but to war
charities, to the Bed Cross, the Y. N.
C. A. and other organizations working
directly for the Advancement Of our
cause. They have been shown the way
to help by changing their occupations,
by cooperating in business matters.
Now the gasoline supply has been
subjected to such extraordinary de-
mands for war uses that it is neces-
sary for the people to economize. This
is where hundreds of thousands can
serve by little abstention from pleas
ure riding. It will not hurt to walk,
or ride on the ears, or remain at home
for the day. It may really help in
various ways besides in the saving of

Submit the Amendment!

Next Thursday the Senate will de-
eide whether to submit to the states
the federal amendment which grants
the right of suffrage to the women Of
this country. There is but one issue
in the present situation-shall the
states pass upon this question, or shall
they be denied the opportunity to de-
termine the political status of women
as national question:
The fact that some of the states
have already granted political equal
ity to the women does not lessen the
force of the demand that the matter
be submitted to the legislatures for
la decision covering the entire country.
The process of securing enfranchising
legislation from the states is slow.
While progress has been made in some
sections Of the country, it has become
more and more difficult, and at the
present rate the full enfranchisement
of the women of America will require
at least another quarter Of a century.
Meanwhile there is inequality in the
status of the women of different states,
an inequality which bellies the very ma
ture of the republican institution.
But there is another consideration
that urges action at this time in SUBJ
hitting this amendment to the states.
If the vote on Thursday is not favor
able the amendment cannot be sent
to the legislatures for action this win
ter. If the necessary three-fourths of
the states do not ratify within the
next eighteen months-in which period
the necessary number of legislatures
will be in session-the women Of the
whole country will not lie enfranchised
for participating in the next presi-
DENTAL election, and this privilege,
this right, will be denied them for
another four years.
In the course of few months, it is
hoped, the United States will partici-
pate i'll the conclusive peace conference
of nations to determine the terms of
war settlement. This country will be
represented at the council table and
its voice will be influential in the de-
cisions. This war is for the right of
selfdetermination of peoples. Will it
be the fate of the United States to go
before that conference Will, its women
still disfranchised, with a very large
and a very important part of its peo-
pie denied voice in the selection Of
rulers and in the framing of iaws9
This is the appointed time to act.
Eventually this question must be sent
to the states. 1t cannot be forever
held in the congressional stage of con-
stitutional amendment. 1t has been
debated again and again. Fresh dis
eussion adds nothing to the under
standing of the matter. The Senate
is ready to act, and it should act, as
the House has already, in favor of
allowing the states themselves to pass
upon the question which lies at the
roots of our national principles.

fuel. But in any case here is direct
chance to take part in the war service
which the American people are so
eager to render for the sake Of victory.
Every motor owner should today
consider this not as a duty, but an
opportunity to add his mite, through
saving, to the gasoline supply avail
able for war purposes. It is not a
question of riding and evading OBJ
|servation or escaping censure. 1t is
"a matter Of conscience. The use Of a
motor car today, not required in q
practical manner, is distinctly unpa-
triotic, and every car owner should
settle the question definitely, taking
no chances, deciding against motor use
as the better, not the safer, cocrse, as
something he is able to do to help the
men in France who are fighting to
win the war.

The Influenza.

Though not exactly identified. the So
called Spanish influenza is believed to
be virtually the same disease as that
which swept over this country nearly
thirty years ago. It was then called
the Russian Influenza" having been
brought, it was thought, from Russia.
1t became known as ia grippe" which
name was shortened to grip" and as
grip it has been recognized general
]y ever since. There seems to be no
material difference between the pres
ent ailment and that affection. It is an
infammatory affection Of the mucous
membranes, causing fever and debii-
tation, sometimes so e1hausting the
bodily forces as to cause death. The
grip" was attributed to a bacillus
which entered the blood through the
respiratory organs, and there attacked
the corpuscles. Its primary manifesto
ton was in the nature of what is gen.
orally known as Ghard cold" Sneez-
ing vas one of the first symptoms, as
in tho present affection. Pains in the
exi1cmities followed, with exhausting
fewer. Remedies were discovered for
tie amelioraton of the symptoms and
the euro Of the disease. Those rem
edies are now applicable, it is believed,
for the treatment of the latest impor-
tstion, which takes it name from the
country in which it most recently de-
geloped in epidemic form.

A National Leper Law Needed.

John Early, the leper, who has given
the District much trouble in the past,
appears to have solved his own prob
lem as far as this city is concerned.
Escaping from his place Of deten-
ton here the other day, he made his
way to his old home in North Caro-
lima, and has there been discovered.
Upon notification Of his arrival there
by the authorities of the North Caro-
lima city, the District Commissioners
have replied that inasmuch as Early
is in his own home they will not send
for him, but will leave him in the
care of those now charged with his de-
tention and care. This is entirely jus
tilted. Though not District resident,
save for his local detention, the Dis
trict has had the care of this man for
years and has been put to much ex-
pense in consequence. His case is a
pitiable one. There is no place in the
United States where he can be prop
erly cared for. Owing to the absence
of federal law on the subject and
the lack Of national leprosarium, the
treatment and housing Of lepers re-
mains for local authorities, with the
|, result that in case of escape they be-
come public menace and a burden
upon the communities into which thew
may wander. When Early first came
here and was recognized as leper
his case aroused attention, and an eff
fort was made to secure the enact
ment Of proper statute governing
these matters, but nothing was accom-
plished' and the situation remains as
it was, with the states alone charged
with the treatment of leprosy, in con-
ditions making for inequalities and.
as experience has proved, danger to
the general health. There should be
no further delay in the establishment
of national safeguard against the
spread Of leprosy. An appropriation
Of $250,000 for federal leprosarium
awaits expenditure, for no site has
been selected by the committee named
in February, 1917, for this course.

POLITICS AT HOME
More Tall Claims.

It was only the other day The Stal
remarked on the tall claims that had
been made in the closing days Of the
recent primaries by some Of the can
didates and their friends. They had
asked the public to believe that every.
thing was coming their way, whereas
the results had shown that, on the test
everything had gone the other way
In the language of the street, they
had not been Gin it" at any stage OF
the game.
The primaries behind us, we have
now election day before US, and here
are more tall claims galore. Some men
are piling the figures sky high.
These men are providing only
amusement. If they are expecting to
be taken seriously they are missing
their aim.
The situation discourages forecasts
from serious observers. 1t is not only
new, but unlike anything that has
gone before. Both in state and in
national affairs landmarks have dis.
appeared.
The only thing certain at this time
is that both parties are working hard
on party lines for party success. Pol,
tiles is very much in evidence every
where.
Last spring republican suggestion
was thrown out that it would be a
good thing to let the next Congress
go to the democrats by default; that
the burden was heavy and would grow
heavier as the war progressed, and that
by 1920 the democracy would be wab-
bly, under it.
The suggestion, it is unnecessary to
say, did not issue from an influential
quarter, and it soon went to limbo
The responsible men in the party held
the opposite view; that the Congress
was worth fighting for and must be
fought for; and they began putting
the machinery in order.
Still, while both parties are busy
neither is showing evidence of conf
denee. Neither can see very far in
the fog that envelops everybody. Dan
gers Turk. Surprises are feared. Who
may tell what day or week may
develop in the matter of the war
Fighting weather will continue at least
until election day; and just now the
fighting is fast and furious
The republicans drew first blood in
Maine, had spared for it, and have
undoubtedly been heartened by the
sight of the "claret" But forty-seven
states have yet to be canvassed, and
election day is less than two months
away.
