Last Saturday this newspaper pub- lished a report of the second of the weekly health talks by superintendent of health, Dr. Richard W, Pullen. It 15 worth reading carefully, dealing as it does with the discase of scarlet fever. Not one person in this city fails to be interested in his own health. ¥or that reason he must be interested in the general health of the people of the city. There is no more prac- tical matter for serious.conslderation, and every advantage should be taken of chances to learn how to deal with sickness such as those offered by study of the talks of the superintend- ent of health. On. this point, discussing scarlet fever, ‘but referring to health gener- ally, the superintendent made a per- tinent remark which emphasizes the importance to every person of keeping all the people in the city well, Dr. Pullen said: “Remember that if you want to keep your own children well you must help keep other children well."” You may see something that you know might bring sickness to people living in another part of the city. It makes little impression upon you, being so far from your own home. It will not affect you or yours, is the first thought. But it may affect you and yours! That thing mpight bring serious sick- ness to the children of that locality. An epidemic might come and spread all over the city. Tt might reach| your home. It was your husiness to report wrong conditions to the proper authorities so that, if for no other reason, the dangerous conditions may be remedied before they bring sorrow to your own home. This is no general, mild suggestion intended to bring the matter up in some indefinite way. It is a vital mat- ter to every person in this city. Each one wants to keep well; each is eager to keep his or her children well. It is not enough to take good care of one- self or one's own children. In order to keep well and to keep one's children well every person should help in keep- ing all others well; should take an active part in every health move in- augurated in this city. NEWSBOYS A communication to this newspaper asks space for the expression of the opinion that many people have a wrong idea about newsboys; that he- cause a few are guilty, perhaps, of doing things they should not, the good ones, “of which they are many” are blamed, also. The declaration is made in this communication that this sort of criticism of newsboys as a class is wrong and should be stopped. This last suggestion goes deeper into the situation than the writer realized, | possibly. He hopes, and properly so, | that the newsboys should be treated as other people should be treated,| young or old, and justice given flu-m.i Undoubtedly he himself would re-| prove any boy, whether a newspapers or a boy who had nothing! to do, if such boy smoked or shot| craps. But the thing he seriously ob- Jjects to is the taking for granted every boy who sells newspapers does these things just because he sells papers. This brings up the deeper side of | the matter, and it may be emphasized | by an old, old saying which deals with the results of giving a dog a bad name. The moment you suggest to seller of newsboys that they are supposed to be a class of lads who do these things | complained of, that monment you will have suggested to them that they might as well do such things. There | person is another saying about a wrongly accused of some improper action. The name and the game are referred to and being killed for a sheep as well as a lamb. All this has to do with the habit of hypercritical people of taking it for granted that others, not themselves or their friends, of course—having the chance to do| wrong will seize that chance critics of others seem to believe that those whom they criticize are always on the lookout for something out of the way to do. Few classes of people few professions, iew ages are free Such | tinued quiet and apparent happiness | ested, without for a moment hoping carly in life to meet the world face to face, THE GREAT TRAGEDY Few fall to be awed into silent sym- pathy for the people who have suffers ed from the effects of probably the greatest, most destructive earthquake recorded, It is estimated that over 500,000 lives have been lost in this Japanese calamity, Looking back over the black history of similar catastro- phes there was the loss of 77,283 lives in the tragedy of Messina, Italy, in 1908, The great Lisbon earthquake in 1775 took 40,000 lives. The loss of life in the Charleston and San Fran. cisco quakes was small In comparison to these, while the last to be recorded, that now in the thoughts of the peo- ple of the world, will bring the list of dead to 500,000 while the number who are homeless and suffering be- cause of it may not be estimated. In this disaster America's part in the world, In alding suffering every- where, is seen today. American war- ships are being rushed to the aid of the victims. American thoughts are bent on giving that aid, While the people of any nation are in trouble, America is here to give the practical aid that is characteristic of her. In a time of sorrow and suffering such as this all nations join together in sym- pathy for the afflicted and in help- ing the suffering nation, That same spirit, so splendidly seen at this time and on occasions when similar condi- tions arise, will at last bring the spirit that will make the nations join to- gether to prevent the greatest of all disasters to any nation—war. IRISH PEACE PREVAILS We who are interested in the situa- tion in Ireland as in political condi- tions in other countries, have waited for the returns from the Irish elec- tions to find out, if possible, just how the people of that country themselves would express themselves, JIf cold figures are taken into consideration, without analyzing the returns and what they mean, it is seen that the presenf) I'ree States government re- ceives 63 votes while the Republicans, or followers of De Valera received 44. This would seem to be rather disap- pointing to the present Irish govern- ment, under which peace and quiet has prevailed there for some time. But taking the real meaning of the elections and remembering that other parties received votes in addition to those given the Republicans and the strict Free Staters, the fact appears that those other votes, practically all, may be counted on by the govern- ment when it comes to a question af- fecting a change from the present form of government to that desired by the Republicans, The Farmer, the Independent, and the Labor groups will undoubtedly support the govern- ment except on small matters of in- tgrnal dispute. Their votes added to those of the government, give to the present regime probably over three- quarters of the strength in the Dial. One authoritative comment says that the result, considering the satisfied conservative who remained away from the polls, shows that probably 90 per cent of the peoplg of the island are satisfied with the present form of government. For this reason con- seems assured. If the great majority of the Irish people themselves, living in Ireland and having known the experience of the past few years and the present under the Free State, feel this way about it, surely we who are so far away may be satisfied that all is well on the Island in which we are inter. for any crushing of the longing for complete independence that fires pae triotic hearts. 'YOUTH, TAKE NOTICE It is quite natural for “the younger sel’ to care littie, while it remains the | younger set, what it will be able to accomplish when it gets to be some- what beyond the years of the “young- er set.” At present it, such younger | set, is quite well satisfied to be what | it is—and we don't blame it. But it is well for youth to take note of a few things—a few matters | reported in the daily news and seen | continuaily in the present day homes, All o with the men and women who have for nstance, us are familiar| long since said farewell to youth and even to middle age, who are still “do- | , thank you.” The white- | the white-haired woman, about their ing very w | haired mar | both exceedingly busy daily duties and showing few signs of a lack of energy, are not uncommon sights.
