Hell is sizzling for the imps that
have nurtured and made impudent
for purely person1 purposes the
miserable publisher of the grannery
article in last week’s slander Dem-
ocrat Press of business prevents a
proper handling of this dirty thing
this week' The storm has not passed
because it did not break out this week
We have insulated gloves to handle
the filthy subject with and will handle
it properly and those who have been
enirgetic in boosting such a thing
upon the community and slandering
good citizens and Democrats are a
more than million times more disrep-
utable and daugerous than poor diluten
thing that don’t know thatshe is only
putty in their foul hands to be shaped
into any fashion and will serve- their
infamous purpose best and Maggie
liggs is aweet mannered character
as compared with her Most any man
would rather take chances on being
shot than to indure her presence for
even a short tide' More a-uon

Makes Authoritative Statement
When President Wlfetln announced
“politics is adjourned” until after Im-
portant war work was adfcompllehed
he found a ready supported In the Ok-
lahoma Democratic nominee for Gov-
ernor Judge J B A Robertson who
immediately declared active political
campaigning would not be started un-j
til after the successful conclusion of
the Fourth Liberty Loan drive
Addressing the Democratic state
convention a few days ago Judge Rob-
ertson laid down the policy of his
party In the present campaign when
1 he declared: “The slogan of this cam-
paign will be: Win the war first and
everything else secondary’ In this
campaign the services of all the can-
didates have been donated to the Fed-
eral Government through the State
Council of Defense and If we have
our wish about the matter there will
not be a partisan speech made In this
campaign
“In yews gone by"- he continued
"the canfpslgn would now be at Its
highest point of enthusiasm Here In i
Oklahoma and elsewhere we have
been busy with the war and the war s
work We have purposely delayed the
opening of tho campaign and I hope
the opening b® delayed as long
as possible Ai '
“However that matter Is entlrly In
the hands of our friends the Republl-
cans and If they ehoose to make the
Issue we are willing and anxious to
accept They have not on0 amons
their number who has the temerity to
assail President -Wilson as a leader or
our peopls but If you will get Into
conversation with them you will find
them attacklna Secretaries Danlelq
and Newton Baker and McAdoo and
all the other subordinate officials ot
our Government at Washington They
are asking the people of the state to
place them in power Why? Because
they are supporting the policies of
the present administration? I am one
of thoae old-fashioned Democrats who
believes that the friends of President
Wilson and the friends of his admin
Istratlon would be In a better position
to uphold hti hand and to give him
that support that may be necessary
than the man that Is all the time a tab

N THE PEOPLE
BACKED UP
THEIR PRESIDENT
EZ-President Benjamin Harrison
speaking at s biennial eleotlon
while the Spsnloh-Amerloan war
was yet in progress said:
“If tho word goes forththat the
people ot the United Stales are
standing solidly behind the Presi-
dent the task of the peace com-
miBslonert will he easy but If
there Is break in the ranks— It
the Democrat! cor® telling Tie
tory if Democratic Senators Con-
gressmen and governors are sleet-
ed Spain will see in It a gleam of
hope she will take fresh hope and
s renewal of hostlUtlea mors war
may be necessary to secure to us
what we have already won
The response pi the American
people to thin plea was the elec-
tion of a Republican congress to
sustain the President's war poll-
ctos and to show to ths world that
the nation yas solidly behind Its
Commander-in-Chlet
If the pies was logical then and
It w4tco held by the voters why
question the propriety of a similar
summons to the American people
to ahovf complete solidarity ana unr
faltering support of ouf great Pres-
ident Woodrow Wilson?

develop pneumonia or lnflunmstlon

these complicated cases die Whetheii
this so-called 'Spanish’ tnfloenu l
Identical with tho epidemics of Influen-
za of earlier years Is not yet known
Epidemics of Influenza bore vlzlted
'this country since 1647 It ll Interest-
ing to know thnt this first epidemic
'was brought here from V alendo
-Spain Since that time there have
been numerous epidemics of tho dis-
ease In 1880 and 1800 an epidemic
jof Influenza starting somewhesre In the
Orient spread first to Bosels and
thence over practically tbc eta tire civ-
ilized world Three years later there
was another flare-up of the disease
Both times the epidemic spread wide
ly over the United States
! “Although the present epidemic 1
called ‘Spanish Influenza’ there Is no
reason to bellevtf that It originated lq
Spain Some writers who hnv studied
the question’ believe that the epidemic
came from the Orient and they call at-
tention Jo the fact that the Germans
mention tho disease as occurring along
tho eastern front In the eunamer and
fall of 1917"
How oan “Sptnlih Influenza" b reo-
ognlzed? '
“There Is as yet no certain way In
which a single cane of ‘Sparzleh Influ-:
enza’ can be recognized 0a the oth-
er hand -recognition In eassy where
there Is a group of canes In contrast
to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs
and colds which usually occur In the
cold months epidemic of Influenza:
may occur at any season of the year!
Thus the present epidemic raged most:
Intensely In Europe In Way June and
July Moreover In the case of ordl-j
nary ooida the general symptoms
(fever pain depression) ears by no
means as severe or as sudden In their
onset as they are In Influenza Final-:
ly ordinary colds do hot spread
through-the community oo rapidly or:
so extensively Ml does Influenza j
“In most cases a person -taken alckj
with Influenza feels sick rather zud--denly
He feels weak bai pains In tbsj
ayes ears head or back and may bs
sore all over Many patients feel
dizzy sows vomit Moot f the pa-
tient complain of feeling chilly nd
with thle comes a fever In which the
temperature rlaea to 100 to 104 In
most cases the pulse remain relative-
ly Mow
"In appearance one la itruck by the
fact that the patient look olck His
eyes and the Inner aide of hlk eyelids
may bs slightly "bloodshot or ’con-
gested as ths doctor y There!
may be running from time nose orj
there may be some cough These signs
of a cold may not be marked never-
tbeless the patient lookuad feels very j
sick !
"In addition to the appearance and
the symptoms as already described!
examination of the patient"! blood may
aid the physician In recogralzlng ’Span-

disease there were found pneumococd I- '
the germs of lobar pneumonia SUU
others have been caused by
cocci and by others germs with long
nft“N matter what particular kind of I
germ causes the epidemic It Is now
believed that Influenza Is
spread from person to Pr®n’ “J
germs being courted with the air along
with the very roiall droplets of mucus
I expelled by coughing oa BD5zl6g’j
I forceful talking and the like by one
who already has the germs of the dde-I
ease They may also be carried about
iln the air In the form of dust comlngl
from dried mucus from coughing and
'sneezing or from caroless peoQje who
'spit on the floor and on the sidewalk
As In most other catching diseases S
iperson who has only a mild attack ©fj
the disease himself may give a vary
severe attack to others" ( i
What should bs dona by those whj
catch the disease? ’
"It Is very Important that every per-
son who becomes sick with ‘“““““j
should go home at once and go to bed
This will help keep away dangerous
complications and wUL t tbe
time keep th pattent from scatteringj
the disease far and wide It ie highly
desirable that- no one be B0"'ed °i
sleep In the same room with the pa-
Bent in fact no one but the nurse
should be allowed In tbe room
"If there Is cough and sputum ®r
running of the eyes and nose carel
should be taken that “J
charges are collected on bltaofgaw
or rag or paper napkins and burned
If the patient complains of fever ana
headache he should be given water to
drink a cold compress to the
and a light sponge Only
cine should be gfveh as Is
by the doctor It to foolish to nak the
druggist to prescribe and may t dan-
gerous to take ths so-called u£
and harmless’ remedies advertised by!
patent medicine manufacturers
“if the patient to so situated that hej
can be attended only by some onp wbo
must also look after others In the fam-
My It to advisable that such attendant
wear a wrapper apron or
the ordinary house clothes while In the
sick room and slip this off when leav-
'log to look after the others --
: "Nurses and attendants will do weu
to guard agatost breathing In dangwvj
ous disease germs by wearln jtogj
iold of game or mask while near the

Will a peraon who haa had Influaasa

"It to well known that an attack of
measles or scarlet fever or smallpox)
usually protects a person “gainst an-
lother attack ef the same dlwase Thtoj
appears not to be true of "Spanish In-

ports the King of Spain suffered an
