proposed by Vice President Charles

traditions, challenge American inSti-
tutions, and endanger American cap
ital as well as American labor" Sen

in a radio address here last night.
Senator Harrison declared that fair
criticism of rules under which the
Senate operates may be based only
on long experience in that body. His
10 years service in Congress, he said.
had changed his own attitude toward
it's deliberate methods from impatience
to unqualified support.
For more than a century and a
quarter" the Senator from Mississippi
continued, there has existed in this
Government one body where the
rights of men, the security of prop
erty and the liberties of men could be
discussed.
LAS much as | respect the views of
some present day statesmen who are
advocating this change, I am quite
sure / admire the proved judgment

Mr.. Madison, Mr.. Hamilton and Mr..
Jefferson as well as the long line of
distinguished American statesmen
who have championed and defended
frank and full discussion of all public

VACCINATION URGED BY
HEALTH Authorities
Maryland's Enviable Smallpox Rec
ord Can Be Maintained Only By
Close Cooperation

Commenting on the notice that has
been inserted in the papers of Somer-
set county by the Board of Education
Of that county, reminding parents of
children who will reach the age this
winter, that the children must pre-
sent a cert icate of successful vacci-
nation against smallpox before they
can be admitted TO school, DR.. John
S. Fulton, Director of the State De-
partment of Health expressed hearty
appreciation of the cooperation of the
County Boards of Education in secur-
! ing the enforcement of the State law
:. "Maryland is said to have an en-
viable record regard to smallpox. But
it has been maintained only by the
close cooperation of parents, schools,
physicians, the general public health
authorities. The State law requires
the vaccination of all children before
they are admitted to school. By strict
observance of the law and by refusal
to admit children who have not been
vaccinated, the school authorities are
rendering double service. They are
protecting the public as we'll as the
children.
Children are especially susceptible
to smallpox, and successful vaccina-
tion in infancy or early childhood will
protect them from this repulsive and
disfiguring disease certainly \ for a
period of years; generally for a life
time, though it is advisable to repeat
between the ages of twelve and twen-
ty. A person who is exposed to small
pox, should lose ne time in being re-
vaccinated whenever smallpox ap-
pears.
! During last two years there have
been serious outbreaks of smallpox in
different parts of the country, especi-
ally in the states which have no vac
]cination law, or do not enforce the
law. Michigan and California to-
gether recorded over 81 1000 cases dur
ing the five-year period, from 1919 to
1923. Maryland has escaped such Wis
itations. During the same five years
$50 cases occurred in Maryland.
The State Department of Health
furnishes smallpox vaccine promptly
and free of charge to any physician
who requests it. So there is no eX-
cuse for failure to secure the protec-
ton which vaccination affords a
ga;nst this disease.
