THE RETURN OF INFLUENZA.
fAUKIMi the terrible influenra epidemic ililit!y more than jcar ago,
doctors predicted it would ipper again Ihit winter, hut in milder form
That forecast now seemi justified. Although the active imagination doubt
kit convince ome penoni they have the "flu" when they haven't, there
' arc numerous well-authenticated cases. There ii not, however, orcaiion (or
ante. The death rate this year it much lower, in proportion to the numhrr
of caiei, and the number it notably imaller than during the previoui epi
demic. Indeed, the federal bureau o( public health ileniei that an epidemic
txilts. It alto emphaiiiet the milder form of the malady thii jear to let
St rett the feari of the timid.
In view of the fact, there ii room to question the wisdom of for
bidding public gatherings, at one phyiician has urged. Human life and
public hearth are important aisets to be carefully lafrguarded. But there
' it reason to doubt if the benefit thui gained would offiet the drpreuinn
which comes from a cloird city. That the itate of mind bai iti influence
on the itate of health it something few physicians doubt. The city of cloted
chnrchei, cloied theateri and closed schools inevitably tprcadt an atmosphere
of gloom.
There are other and poftibly more practical reasons for refraining from
iuuing doting ordera at thii time. Admittedly thii Spanish influenia it
ajuitc a baffling diteast to the medical profession. At it wont a year
lgo, it appeared in isolated countryside! almost if not quite at virulently a'
In the crowded centers. And New York, our mott crowded city, iteadfattly
refuted to darken amusement placet and forbid public gathering!, at most
townt and cities did. The figures do not thow a higher death rate there
than in other citiet where the most drastic closing ordera were enforced
The chief surgeon at Camp Pike also denied the efficacy of such rules, all
of which indicate! that doctors and public health authoritiet were not in
agreement ai to methods of curbing the epidemic.
So far at available indentation goes, the recent outbreak of the disease
hain't been counted tufficiently serious to forbid public gathering!. Even in
Chicago, where it hai been at iti worst, ichoolt, churchei and theateri con
tirnie to function as usual. Even military establishment! have not seen fit
to maintain a strict quarantine; 1 tie federal public health lervice hai urged
nd tuth cnurc, and offm repeated asurancet that there is no occasion for
alarm.
tiiinR proper attention to the afflicted, enforcing rule! of sanitation in
public eatiiiK places, and a little cttrt care of the health of the individual
thould proe sufficient to cope with the disease in it! present moderate form.
Certainly caes are nt so imineeow not to severe here at to warrant the
handicap to all aetivitiet wbiili closing order! would effect.
There U no deposition to place business or pleasure before public health,
but this city ili.nild cope with the disease by the tame methodt which are
proving ieaot.V ly successful in other places. And the truth is that tbit
i nut an alaimiiii; epidemic. It is the somewhat sporadic aftermath of the
epidemic of h't xe.ir. It hardly calls for the tame heroic treatment at the
heavier i-it.tt (. And this lav opinion hathe ittpport of many of the
ahlcst medical men of the rat inn.
The OL'jlxniia woman ho had a SJlYrt ter ol fun ttnlen in
hotel thuuld bear up bravely ; posil! the can ud another ct
summer.
iitiirn ((' (Jklalioma are rather insistent in their demand! for a special
x-J'ii o( the lruislature to ratu'y the ejual tuffrage amenjnient. The itate
dmiiiitiration could render service to the democratic party by such let
ion. Wherever women vote, it would be appreciated, and they will vote
ver) u here in the nation if enough state! hasten ratification. It ii violating
wo confidence to state that the democrats have use for all the votei they
tan, get in the approaching presidential election. Put suffrage it not the
only consideration. Neither is partisan vantage. The expense and posiibili-
ttca of inch a session must be considered. Hut these might offset any gain
to come from ratification it quite possible, so far as this state it concerned,
ltd thi! state ii quite"'properly the first concern of the governor.
