Observers of the political scene see the
second inauguration of Mr.. Roosevelt as
ushering into the country another terra of

The observations seem to be soundly
based.
AND WHAT BETTER METHOD OF
BRINGING IN SUCH AN ERA COULD
BE FOUND THAN A GALA INAUGU-
RAJ?
The country is solidly behind the Presi-
dent as shown by his overwhelming majori-
ty in the electoral college and his tremen-
dous popular vote.

HE GOT HIS WISH

Campaign stories seemed to be
few and far between while the
rush for the votes was going, but
now they are coming through
from a number of sources.
Take the story about the speech
made in Delaware by Senator GUT
fey. Senator Guffey went to
Delaware several times to make
that State safe for the Democrats.
One evening he started to talk
about Senator Daniel o. Hastings.
He began BY telling his audi
enceS that he has served in the
Senate with Senator Hastings fol
several years and he wanted to
do something for him.
"Gentlemen," he said, "yOu
all know that Senator Hast
ings pleaded to be retired from
the Senate. His party wouldn't
let him. They drafted him and
made him run against his will.

who earned their own way
through, while among the others
living in the same chapter house
were some of the richest boys in
college. The whole idea was to
invite as members fellows we
really liked, depending on what
they were and not what they had,
and the upper claSsmen were like
older brothers to the younger
fellows.
"Where that standard prevails
I can conceive of nothing more
certain to save a young chap from
becoming snooty or conceited, or
anything else but truly demo

fortune. But I can't believe that

We believe that great crowds of people
throughout the country are daily being i'm
pressed with the improvement of the city.
This would be fine occasion to bring
them here and convince them of just how
great National Capital they have.
In whatever plans President Roosevelt
adopts for his second induction into office
he will of course, have one hundred per cent
cooperation on the part Of the people in
Washington.
But we hope he will see his way clear to
take the lid off and give us an opportunity
to celebrate completely.
THE PRESIDENTS POLITICAL VIC
TORY HAS BEEN GREAT.
THE CLIMAX OF THAT VICTORY

JUST AS GREAT.
The Washington times., 1936-11-10

Let's have grand Inauguration January
20 when President Roosevelt is reinducted
into office.
Of course, it is up to the President himself to de-
termine Just hov big the ceremonies shall be, but we
believe that he should encourage the public generally
to celebrate the occasion.
Within short time he will appoint the
chairman of the inaugural committee.
That is personal appointment with him
and the choice will probably determine the
type of the Inauguration.
But we hope that the President will see fit
to appoint a man or woman who will give
the city and the country the kind of cere
mony that everyone eagerly wants.
The time is short for planning an elabo-
rate ceremony and it is to be hoped that the
committee appointment will be made as

ANNUAL REPLY
So, says Mother-annually, by

write something that will persuade
Dad to let the youngsters join?
To which, once again, make my
annual reply
No, lady, won't. For I'm
even more dead set than Dad
against the whole notion.
I do NOT believe that fraterni-
ties or sororities are a help to the
youngsters that join them, or q
credit to the institutions and the
nation which permit them.
To the contrary, I think they
are completely and maliciously
a n democratic. founded on
false values, and fostering vic
ious prejudices and distinctions
which endure through life, and
are responsible for much of oul
class antagonism. Worst of all
they are outrageously unfair to
the youngsters whose lack of cash
bars them from entrance.
Admission to a fraternity OF
sorority (save in the few which
are based upon academic stand
ing) does not imply superior
qualities of character in the pros
pective member, but superior
depths to his or her dads pock.

The Washington times., 1936-11-10

Hthe product of a background
which only wealth can supply.
There will be indignant denials
of this by youngsters who feel
that money plays as negligible
part in fraternal life. But no
youngSter who is going through
college on his or her own, can
possibly meet the expenditure
required in fraternities and Sor-
critics for dress and amuSements.
Even if they could muster the
cash they have not the time.
This leaves the finest element
in college life-the boys and girls
who have sufficient ambition and
gumption to earn their own way
completely out of the campus
picture. And if life holds a
crueler or more unfair desolation
than the loneliness of such young
people, this writer does not
know it.
Such desolation is a denial OF
every American principle OF
equality "a betrayal of the faith
so dearly bought by starving men
and ragged women who dared
at the cost Of incredible sacri
flee, to fight for common ad
vantage.
Communism, itself, is not more
alien to the American standard
than these HOTBEDS OF
SNOOTOCRACY, nor isn't a
more malicious menace on our
college campuSeS.

well person it happened to bite.
The doctors called for volun-
teers for the dangerous tests. But
the doctors themselves led the
way.
Carroll exposed himself and re-
covered only after severe illness.
Lazear let the germ-laden moSqui-
toes taste his blood and gave his
life to serve humanity. Reed sur
vived two years, but died in 1902
from the results of overwork in
Cuba.
The control work that followed
in preventing the breeding Of mos
quitoes not only gave medicine the
upper hand over the plague, but it
permitted such an enterprise as
the building of the Panama Canal.
But the greatest of all stories
in this desperate fight to abolish
cne of the great plaques was the
drama played at Accara, a little
seaport on the Gold Coast Of West
Africa.
Three men were there on
great Adventures Japanese, an
Irishman, and a Scotchman, work
ing in common and seeking
neither gold nor ivory nor lions
head for the trophy room.
Theirs was greater game. After
it they went with heads up, hope
high, and with the full knowledge
that death Stalked beside them,
ready to strike in the most terri
BILE fashion, without even the warn
ing that a tiger might give.
LOSE LIVES
The japanese was a bacteriolo-
gist. one of the greatest of all
times-Dr. Hideyo Noguchi. The
Irishman was a pathologist from
London UniverSity-Prof. Adrian
Stokes. The Scot was a scientist
on the staff of the Rockefeller In
Stitute-Dr. William Alexander
Young.
And how they worked in the
heat and the stencil Of that
wretched native village!
Every cell in their brains, every
fiber in their bodies was absorbed
in one object and airn-to find
that malignant virus which,
through the ages, had been such a
scourge and danger to humanity
The trail grew hot. They re-
doubled their efforts. Stokes wrote
home:
1--WE have the fish hooked.
Unless we are careless and break
the tackle, it will only be a mat
ter of time until we land him..
But they never brought the
monster to gaff! He lashed about
and stung them-all three-Stokes,
Noguchi and Young.
One by one, the fever-first, the
heavineSS which an ordinary sore
throat might bring, next, flush
of the face and the eyes. Tempera-
lures rose higher and higher for
two or three days and then came
a steady drop until they were be-
low normal.
Their eyes, at first enlarged,
narrowed down to mere Sits. The
skin grew cold and the color Of
lemon.
Next the dreadful Black Vomit
which Paris, Rome and London
knew in the Middle Ages when it
struck all alike, from the meanest
peasant to the Pope Of the Borgias.
/ And then came death to Stokes,
to Noguchi and to Young.

GRAVE MENACE

Yellow fever remains a grave
menace today, although it is con-
fined to West Africa and to
certain parts of South Colombia
while some years ago three Ameri-
cans died of yellow fever in the
Sudan.
Science as yet has not def
nitely identified the virus, though
it has learned that 13 species OF
mosquitoes can carry it. And
men have died to find this out.
When Yellow Jack flouriShed
