VACCINATE YOUR CHILDREN AND YOURSELF. T!ii- N im scare. We n nut lelipvc in rcarr. It i onlv a autum '.n ounce of prevention is worth .: pound of fi;re." You aprce with that. You keep our home ticeently clean, and .lo a number of iliinps there about, with that very thinpr in view, livt-ry lioiiic should be its own health resort. but j '.i.-t now an emergency ari . V- ref r to the miniature smallpox epidemic It itsnt swallowed the city as yet. With n little preunion it won't but "larse aches from little toecorns rrow." you know; or s it, "lar' oaks from little acorns?" Anyhow the principle applies. Vaccination as a preentatie to snrillj-ox has proven it.-elf a mlFlon times. Times were when It vas more- or Jes harmful in spot, hut the percent aice has always been small. ?nd of late years, with the applications of science and experience, there is carte a chance in a million of its doinc: anything out rood. It is practically certain now that if vact ination occasions any considerable; pain or illness-, the sufferer without the vaccination, would he in a physical condition most susoeptihle to the disease, ;ind perhaps, in its most virulent form. The city health department is making no mistake in urcinc this preventative upon the puhlic. It hould po through the schools at least, and the old folks at home, unless immune already, should j(dn the schod children, set the example and make it that rauch the easier. The children can no more afford to be without the parents while the latter arc in the pest-house, than the latter can afford to Fe without th former. nreakintT out In on of th- schools of th city, now closed, the disease has spread considerahly, now beiniT heard from in all sections. Don't condemn the school, -".'he authorities did not hrinr th disease tho re on purpose. Somebody, who wasn't vaccinated, cau-rht the dFease, or developed it from somewhere, probahly jui rs innocently as you wculd be if you were to .net it. Contagious disease is mere.'y one of the thir.es we have to look out for in comln.c in contact with other people. and it is because people, instead of pursuing preventative courses, seem sa anxirni to pive these diseases away, toon as they et them, that pest-houses more politely termed, "detention hospitsis." have had to Fe built. It is a "pest house." you know, when built for the poor, and "tie ntion hospitals" when the abode t'f the rich but here in South I?end, and very properly, the health authorities mingle them together, and "the Ford if the Father of them all " We would lomn.end its u.-e in every ea.se.

Cngres was excusable, perhaps, in that cnirrsency. due tt the sort of provision male for settlement of the tllspiite, hut If the railroad brotherhoods Imagine th' can re-etnploy that procrs now, xn-xrc-s should teach them their mistake, anl leach it promptly. Tin neneral idea cmtKMlicd In the measure beforo cii;i is a ood one from the public stand Mlnt, and that i the staiHlfKlnt for congress to con.ider It from; that and no other. America has abont reachetl Ibe olnt where xulUc welfare must be made to come first In dealing with Ntth capital and l.ilxir, the interests of the individual or either group being secondary. The I'nitetl States is fundamentally a democracy, the iK'ople not the classes. being sovereign. The republic is a form of government through which tho looplc not class groups, exercise their will, employing representatives elected hy the mass to such nds. There is notbii.g siietlsi alxoit it. We liave never rtH'ognied any grouie or soviet, iolltically, an" though tlu y may exist, and do exist Industrially, i.iere is no dlsjK-.itioii to aeeMle iKilltlcally to th r industrial dictation to force which Is the very apparent purpose tf the strike threat. II Mi 'KM hi men, of course, cannot presume to know all the provisions of the proKsed anti-strike law, but with that very much as with tho League of Nations covenant, the general principle is sound, antl though the machinery set up may be a trifle faulty In sMts It will quite certainly prove In'tter tliau none, and those faults can be ironed out as they prove themselves, by appropriate amendments. We would say of a compulsory arbitration law, that the court should consist of a presiding judre. a clerk and a marshal, the parties in contest each to choose two arbitrators t o set with the judge who represents the public and then all the owcr of tlie government should stand lxhlnd that tribunal, enforcing Its awards in both directions. IXcn the permanent presiding judge might be dispensed with, and the lifth man be chosen by the men named by the di.-putajits. The clerk and the marshal might be stiflieient standing machinery, but there should be Mime way of putting a stop to the strike, and it Is the public's right, and the public's business to put a stop to ItThe strike must go, and if there Is a soviet anywhere any group of capitalists or worklngmen, that thinks it can block tlie setting up of the necessary machinery to such end, that soviet or nnion, maniifa-turcrs association, or what not. should be diipliatically push et I aside.. nr IT might Im well for the railroad brotherhoods anil machinists to take a lesson from the experience of tlie" bituminous coal strikers. The railroads are still under government control as a war measure, Icace has not been declared, and any attempt on tlieir part to Interfere with the operation of the road, by a concerted action, might also 1m- regarded as a conspiracy In violation of the Lever act. They may also Ik? given the chance to answer the question whether they are Americans or bolshevists; whether they will put their soviet above their government; their union above their country? Covey's army which inarched on Washington lwck in the early 'no's to tell congress what to do to relieve the industrial depression of tliat time, liad brains and Americanism in it hoofs, far in excess of that bc'ng exhibited by these railroad men from up in their head. Ootey's army was at least old-fashioned enough to curry a petition, antl denied the right of IVts't Cleveland to order it off the capltol lawn where it was training down the gras.s. asserting that it bad conic to "petition the government for redress of grievance." under the first amendment. The railroad brotherhoods and machinists do not approach congress with a petition, but with a strike: a great Industrial army which says, you do thus and so or we will tie up the traiisixrtatlon of the country, thiow the nation into a panic, let the liv es and the welfare of the public Ik damned. Tine, if may claim a precedent, and rightly: that of the old "invisible government" oicrated by capitalism, and it is to the credit of the railroad men that they are not buying up senators and representatives to do their work in secret. They are operating in the open. As between the lalsr "soviet" and the "invisible governments" of the past, the soviet" is the more honorable. Congress by the measure intioduced. however, scents on the surface at least, to be tryhig to do something for the public that will keep both capital antl labor in tlieir place, antl render the "sovicts of Kith subservient rather than dictatory over the government a quest of industrial justice for .both. and it is a mighty gtotl time for the people to insist that their representatives act. and show who i 1hs. If the strike ome. if there must be civil war. to settle that question, as to whether the jKople or the soviet." shall rule, we might as well have it and have it over with. tive. with no rtspee- of persons, and the health authorities should deal with them accordingly.

When a man moves, aDout the only public utility company they don't ask him to practically buy outright is the street railway. Some day we suppose they will pass a law compelling a mover to purcha.se 200 or $4 00 worth of street car tickets, then provide that he must wait 4 8 hours to catch a car.

We were joyous and began to think up the numbers of a bunch of people we would immediately call up and kid. Hut no, the fellow wasn't a lineman. Instead he turned out to be a neighbor, who had a back fence that needed some repairing.

Jake Heckaman tez Doc Hill probably didn't lose his Franklin automobile at all, as was reported to the police this week. Jake declares the eminent physician is so absent minded he probably came out of a patient's house and looked around for his old Ford, or the bobtailed horse he used to borrow from Gab Summers, failed to ee'elther and immediately called the police. It is Jake's opinion that Hill's Franklin car was on the spot all the time.

Jake confides to us that he would hire a man to steal his Ford, but he's afraid he might be arrested as an accessory.

It would bo kinder tough iuck to be accused of being an automobile accessory at Jake's advanced age.

Jt wasn't of the slightest use To a lind a job and lead him to it; Sometimes he'd think up an excuse, Again he simply wouldn't do it He would not wield a spade or pick. Such things he said were low and menial. All mental effort made him sick All industry was uncongenial. He perished early, did this shirk Iife didn't go the way he planned

it; He worked so hard avoiding work His constitution couldn't sand it. I knew it crook a crafty crook Who had an optic like an eagle For anything that wore the look Of being shockingly illegal. , Whenever any chance he saw The ends of justice he defeated In bold detiance of the law. He lied and stole and forged and cheated. He managed to keep out of jail; Some paltry pelf his thieving brought him; The sleuths were often on his trail IJut all In vain; they never caught him. He smote a thousand here and there Put he'tl have prot what he went after And finished up a millionaire. If he had never been a grafter.

FKIDAY. NOV. 11. While the stellar forces for this day point to much activity and progress, yet certain of the aspects hold a warning. This applies particularlv to those in the employment of others, who are under the adverse influence of the luminaries in square aspect. This discourages those working for others or those who seek favors from the authorities or public officials. The Jupiter influence is favorable for financial returns and is fortified by the Lunar trine to Mercury as well as to the propitious place of moon semi-sex-tile Mars all of which are testimonies for progress and prosperous conditions, enhanced and stimulated by the powerfully stimulating rays

of Sol soxtile Mars. Those whose birthday it is may expect an active and prosperous year, with financial increase, if they are not in the employ of others. These are in danger of losing their positions. A child born on this day will be active, energetic, clever and generous, and will succeed in life.
