DISEASES, ALSO

Through plans laid by the trustees
OF the Physicians and Surgeons Hos
pital, the city may soon possess a
special building for the care Of con-
taglous diseases. and a new half-mil-
lion dolalr hospital building for ordi-
nary eases in addition.
Tie trustees have acquired a second
block of ihc Mckay estate at Br0Ome
and Chestnut streets. \ year ago they
acquired The first block at a cost OF
$4,000 The block now taken con-
talns the Mckay homestead, O substan-
iial iw0-slory structure, which easily
can be made into a place for proper
treatment OF patients suffering from
contagious maladies.
Plans for a new Physicians and sur
geons Hospital structure provide for
one Of the most modern institutions
in the country. The present building
has been Inadequate for some time, and
probably will De converted into an
apartment house. Very little alteration

George Creels Brother Is Some Little
Writer In His Own Way

(FrOm the Seattle PoSt-Intelligencer)
TO the Editor: The administration
proposes to eliminate illiteracy Most
praiseworthy But where is the joker?
a Southern congressman announced as
his policy: Every time they get a ham
out Of the pork barrel / mean to get a
whole hog Who gets the benefit Of
the legislation? Compare Washing
|ton's share with that of North Carol
ina. There is difference of 100 years
in the age. North Carolina had ship
ping ports and railroads when this
state was an unknown wilderness.
Our total value of farms, S637, 900, 900 :;
North Carolina. $537, 100000. Native
white illiterates: Washington, 1,2S1 ;
North Carolina. 131, 992. Percentage of
illiterateS in native-born whites of vOt-
ing age: Washington, "a: North Carol
ina, 21.3. Percentage of Washington.
3 North Carolina, 1913. Expenditure
per capita for schools: Washington,
1888 North Carolina, 1921. See
the joker yet?
Here's another: Mr.. Kitchin of
North Carolina, represents 1924
voters: John f. Miller represents II
121. Just why should one voter in
North Carolina have as much influence
in congress as five Seattle voters
Probably the world could not be made
safe for democracy otherwise. It
shows up as a component part Of a gen
eral scheme.
In Everybody's fer February, 1917,
is an interview with the president by
George Creel. Commenting on his
recommendation to congress of cor
rllpt practices act, the president says
that it was not aimed at the Republic
cans but only seems so because, since
1890 that party has had the largest
campaign funds. II is to giggle. If
Mark Hanna was guilty Of a hundred
fold more than the Democrats ever
charged he was still cheap pillCr be-
side the present administration. Seven
hundred million dollars increase i'll
wages under government control, 2oIo
increase in freight and passenger rates
and $S00.000,000 deficiency to be paid
out of public taxes. How about the
cost plus 10 per cent" Could Boss
Tweed or Dick Croker, both deserving
Democrats have conceived as smooth a
scheme for buying votes. They don't
need any campaign funds. The people
pay.
Look at the appropriations for ma
tional highways: Alabama. $3.50 coo ;
Arkansas. $4.500000; Kentucky. So

MAY MISS HIS GUESS
ABOUT THAT THIRD TERN

(FrOm Portland (Me.) preSS)
The only way President Wilson can
be prevented from running for third
term is for the Republican Senate to
ratify the League of Nations covenant
so inspired dispatches from Paris in
form us. He doesn't want to be Presi-
dent again. so his press agents tell us.
He wouldn't ordinarily think OF run
ming for third term He feels, how
ever. that he has Il great task to per-
form and it will be incomplete if the
Senate doesn't accept the League OF
Nations. Therefore he will have to
run again for the Presidency, distaste-
full as it will be to him to do so.
The President has been fair about
it. He gives the Republicans due
warming as to what they may expect
Either ratify the League of Nations
covenant. just as it has been determined
upon by the President. or take him for
President for four years more Mr.
Wilson will make this sacrifice for the
good Of humanity and to render the
world safe for democracy.
OF course the President may be mis-
taken about what will happen if he
does run for the Presidency third
time He may have miscalculated as
10 the chance of his being reelected
In 1916 he was reelected but surely he
can't have forgotten that it was close
thing. The change of a few votes in
California; for instance. would have
deprived the world of his great assist
ance and abilities in making peace.
Perhaps California may not vote in
1920 the way it did III 1916. Presi-
dent Wilson was keeping us out Of
war" then if YOU remember about it.
In 1920 California may think he is try
ing to keep us in war by attempting to
have this country become part OF the
League of Nations. Folks look upon
these things in funny way some
timnc
1t surely was kind and considerable
of President Wilson to give tho I.epub-
licanS this chance to get out from I'M
der" 1t can't be said he didn't give
them ample warning. Now they know
what they're up against. Either rati-
fication of the League of Nations cove
nant on Wilson. that's all. 1t rather
places the Republicans between the
Devil and the deep deep sea. They
haven't been given much of a choice.
Some people will fail to see why it is
absolutely necessary for the Republi-
cans to make a choice. If they go right
ahead. doing what they think is right,
it may not trouble them at all. But
Mr.. Wilson doesn't seem to see it that
way. We've either got to tage him
again as President or give the League
of Nations Il chance SO that he can be
made President of that. In either
event. as he sees it. he will be the Win
ner. As President Of t h United
States he will he able to dictate just as
he has for six years or more. As
President of the League Of Nations he
will also be in Il position to dictate to
the United States and all the world be-
sides That is, if he hasn't made mis-
calculations which is. of course, always
to be considered as likely to happen.
