Folks who want to believe that theory have a right to do so. This is a free country. But the big majority of us do not hold to that theory at all. When we are sick, we call doctors or take medicine, or both. We have no fight with those who’are convinced that, tho disease may exist, it is best remedied by manipula- tion of the spinal column or massaging of the muscles. But, most of us don’t hold to that theory. Perhaps some day we will all agree on questions of health and sanitation. Maybe we'll all treat our- selves mentally and regard disease as a mind disorder. Or we'll shoot serums into our arms for nearly every- thing we find is wrong with ourselves. Or we'll have our joints and backs twisted and jerked and that will cure us of our ills. * * * A question which thousands of citizens believe is vital to the health of the school children will be set- tled at the general election November 7. The 1921 legislature passed “an act providing that parents or guardians may forbid physical examinations of their school children in districts of the first class, except when such children show symptoms of con- tagious or infectious diseases; providing that vaccina- tion, inocculation or other medication shall not be made a condition of attendance or employment in such schools except of persons suspected of having or who have been exposed to contagious diseases.” The ink on the governor’s signature was hardly dry before the physicians started circulating referendum petitions. They got enough names, and the bill is be- fore the-people for adoption”or rejection next Tuesday. * & * The purpose of the bill seems clear. If Johnny Jones comes to school with a nest of diphtheria germs in his throat, and if Johnny’s ma or pa or guardian writes a note to the principal stating that he refuses to let the school nurse or physician examine Johnny, that’s all there is to that. Until Johnny gets sick the nurse or physician must let him alone. They dare not peer into his throat for signs of diphtheria until he “shows symptoms.” But, before Johnny begins to act queerly he will have passed the diphtheria germs around to Susie and Tony and Jackie. Then, when he shows symptoms of the disease, he may be examined and sent home. Maybe Johnny’s ma and pa don’t believe there is any such a thing as a diphtheria germ. Maybe they'll cure Johnny, too. But, that won't help Susie and Tony and Jackie, for perhaps their parents hold the old-fashioned belief that germs are material and dis- ease is real. Maybe Susie will carry the germs to the baby and Tony will infect the twins before it is discovered. Then, we have a life-sized epidemic, and two or three little fellows die. * * * Unless you scoff at all medical science, you know that certain people are disease carriers. They are not ill, perhaps they are immune, but they carry the germs, and they can and do pass them along. Physical examination often discovers the distase carrier. Some school children, tho perfectly normal in all other ways, carry disease and transmit it. Perhaps the child whose parents do not believe in disease won't come home with scarlet fever or itch or lice or smallpox. But what of the children of the vast majority who believe that disease does exist? * * “Personal liberty” and “constitutional liberty” are two of the pet phrases of one set of folks who oppose the health laws. Personal liberty is sacred and in- violable, but there are limits. Personal, constitutional liberty doesn’t and shouldn’t permit you to endanger the lives of others. The clause in Referendum 18 that prohibits vaccina- tion or other medication of pupils against the will of their parents or guardians is superfluous. We already have a state law that contains that provision. So that question is not up for argument now. Whether Ref- erendum 18 wins or loses, parents and guardians will still have the legal authority to prevent vaccination of their children. } | | * * * It’s a question of what you believe, and it’s a ques- tion that tests your fairness, The Star believes that if Referendum 18 wins, we may pay heavily in human life—lives of the school children of Washington. The defeat of Referendum | 18 will NOT be a guarantee against epidemics—for | physical examination is not infallible. It is a measure | of precaution. Think this over carefully before you vote on Ref- erendum 13 and KNOW just exactly what you are doing. For you may have to accept some mighty serious consequences!

IN TERMS OF MONEY BENEFITS capitulation of all of Poindexter’s worthy endeavors, Dill declares the senator’s votes on the tax bill alone offset many times all the good he accomplished for the people of Washington. “Because,” says Dill, “he voted 20,000,000 of federal taxes on the people of Washing- ton and take the $20,000,000 off the millionaires with incomes in excess of $65,000 a year.” | | | | An “experienced senator,” argue the Poindexter managers, can get more monetary benefits | for the people of Washington | than could a new man. “What did Poindexter get for Washington folks,” asks C.
