eye by the stories you are sending
out about the smallpox epidemic
here. Our trade is being ruined and
everyone is dodging our town. You
are not public-spirited citizen or
you would stop sending out this
damaging publicity"
This. in substance, is what cor
respondent for The Daily Oklahoman
in an Oklahoma town was told re-
Gently, by a number of business men
Of his community.
Smallpox. in its malignant form,
was causing deaths daily in that
town The spread of the disease was
unchecked and new cases were devcl-
oping every day. Had the disease
been allowed to continue its spread,
it might have meant annihilation Of
the community and a statewide cpl
demic as of "A plague.
Instead, the stories sent out by
this correspondent attracted the at
tention of state health authorities.
Investigation proved that quaran-
tine regulations we're not being en-
forced and that local authorities
were not as vigilant as they should
be.
State authorities Immediately plac-
ed guards, night and day, at the
quarantined homes, stopped all pub
lie gatherings, closed the schools and
required all persons to be vaccinated
Within three days the spread of the
disease was checked and the danger
to the community was ended. I'm
questionably, many lives were saved
thereby.
Instead of being detrimental, the
publicity given to the facts in the
case, brought quick remedy.
This instance demonstrates the un
wisdom Of condemning, hastily, the
telling Of the truth. The revelation

TUNES

What has become of ''Over There, 'Tipperary" and the
other martial tunes that were so popular during the warf You
rarely hear them any more. When you do, chances are, some
one yells out to turn the record over or put on some jazz.
With Memorial Day coming, there will be a revival of
"Dixie, ~ marching Through Georgia and other songs that
call up in memory the Civil War.
Musicians are wondering what particular song Americans
will always associate with the World War.
The interesting possibility looms, that they will not re-
member any song in this onnection-unless it is written later.
The popular song during the Revolutionary War was

In 1914 the spirit of the War Of 1912 saturated the blood
and brain of Francis Scott Key. Afre with militant patriot

Maybe some one, later on, will burst forth with the song

The chances, however, are against it, for the national COM
pick is to keep the war buried in memory.
1t is dawning on people that modern war is nothing to
sing about. Which is a good thing.

POLITICAL INDICATIONS
FOR COMING ELECTION
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, April 25.--Rc-
Gently a special election was held
in New York state, and while it was
only to fill the unexpired term of a
single congressman, it was watched
all over the country with the great
est interest. 1t is taken by some
to be the first straw to show how
political winds may blow in No
vember,
In this district. for some years
represented by Alanson b. Hough-
ton. the Republican vote is normally
large. In the special election Lewis
Henry, a Republican, won, but by a
greatly reduced majority.
The recent primary elections in
Illinois are taken as being of great
interest as indications of the feel
ing on questions before the country.
These were held at the same time.
with the result that there were two
upsets in sitting congressman Ira
c. Copley and Clifford Ireland. How
ever. New York election is taken as
better material for judging feeling
in the country, as Republican votes
beat Mr.. Copley and Mr.. Ireland.
Issues confined to their districts en-
tered most largely into the fight, al
though some significance is seen in
the fact that both were defeated by
"wets," as both Mr.. Copley and Mr..
Ireland have voted dry consist
entity
Around the capitol, Republican
politicians who do not try to de-
ceive themselves know that there
is dissatisfaction with Congress
throughout the country. The delay
in the passage of the tariff bill is
one of the great causes of this feel
ing. And because the average citi-
zen does not pause to analyze what
is causing the delay, he groups his
grievance under a general crouch
against congress as a whole.
This d~ispleasure is being felt by
House members who will come up
for reelection this autumn. The
business men want the tariff a Set
tied thing. They feel that the I'M
certainty as to exact provisions the
law will contain when it is finally
approved by the President is adj
versely affecting business. 1t cannot
properly settle down to pulling out
of its present situation until this IS
done. The House passed the bill.

members are feeling the wrath Of
constituents on this and other ac-
counts.
Election for Short Term
The election in the New York
district was held because Mr.. HougE-

numbers, his Democratic opponent
