Number of Cases of Spanish
; Influenza Here Are Grad.
. ; ually Subsiding.
BAN LIFTED IN WEEK
Conference is Hbldl Today With State
Health Officer Seely Advises Unit
;; Quarantine lie Hold For Alio-,
ther WeekNo Now Cases,
A conference was held this morn
ing by City Health Officer - B. R.
Shoemaker s with Or, A. 0. Seely,
state health officer. In regard to the
Spanish influenza situation in Rose
burg, and the latter official, upon
recommendation of the' local: health
officer, has ordered that the quaran
tine ban remain on the city of Rose
burg for nt least .another week.
While the number of cases are grad
ually dlniishing It is thought that the
wisest plan will be to . follow the
above course is a general and united
effort to Btamp out the'epideinic here
and a week more of quarantine will,
without doubt, completely extermin
ate all signs of the "flu". The num
erous fatalities of the past week In
Roseburg and Douglas county Impressed-
forcibly upon the. minds of
every man, woman and cilld the
stern realty of the deplorable results
of influenza and a greater and more
systematic effort' lias been made by
all to prevent the spread of the dis
ease which has cost so many precious
lives In this community. Many local
citizens have, In their effort to evade
the influenza; taken the serum which
was supplied the local physicians by
the State iBoard of Health- and re
ports from these precautions Indicate
that while In every case the serum
does not serve altogether as a pre
ventative, the cases are much lighter
and . complications are ' nil; It has
been discussed generally and com
munications have come in from every
corner of the city and'.-county as to
the beneficial resultB of wearing the
gauge masks. - In spunking-of- the
wearing of masks the Surgeon Gen
erals office advises: "That the wear
ing of gauge masks should be com
pulsory for those in close contact
with the sick, but snould be worn
voluntary by the general public.' Gen
eral use for public wear Is probably
Impracticable."
The Surgeon General's office in a
communication to the County and
City Health Officers explains In n
definite manner the reporting of the
Spanish influenza and what includes
the "flu" as follows: v
"The nomen clature of this disease
has been made somewhat confusing
by the numerous contributions from
the lay public. It Is advised that in
reporting that the term influenza
shall Include the mild as well as the
severe cases, of what Is usually
known as La grippe", "Grip", "flu",
"Spanish influenza", "Three day
Fever, also the so-called severe colds.
This of courso does not Include the
ordinary uncomplicated coryza or
cold in the head. Pneumonia Is nlso
Included in the reports, as this Is
a complication of the Influenza.' -
The county Spanish Influenza situ
ation Is greatly Improved, aorording
to county nealth officer K. L. Miller,
and In several towns the epidemic
has been completely stamped out with
no reports of cases for the past four
days. Dr. Miller stated today that
after centering with the Mayors city
nhysicians ana citizens of Olendale,
Riddle, Myrtie Creek, Sutherlln, Wil
bur, Drain and Yoncalla,- that In
many or these towns the situation is
entirely relieved andi that public ac
tivities will be resumed Monday. In
the districts of Ollala, Ten Mile.
Looking Glass, Winchester and Can
yonvllle schools will be opened,
should no cases be reported from
there before Monday as the 'flu"
situation in these respective dlstrics
is relieved. Gardiner, Reedsport and
Oakland will remain under the qua
rantine ban anotner week as will
several other smaller districts where
the epidemic 1s at its crest. Dr. Mil
ler stated! to a News representative
today, that the citizens, pnysiciane
and city officials of the varlouB Dou
glas county towns and districts had
made possible the splendid results
obtained so for because of their earn
est cooperation with the county
health board and in nearly every
town In the county orders. were obey
ed promptly and without question.
It is hoped that the end of the
coming week will result tn the com
plete stamping out of the ' flu" abd
from every indication this will be
realized' . j

Voters Are Urged to Preserve

-Freakish Measures.
THEY HOLD . THE KEY
One Man or a, Single Group of Men,
Should not be Allowed to Abolish
, ' the Oregon 8ystoiu..-Look Out
For Millionaire Jackson.
.'' ' v- ' .ii-pnr
There is, a very simple way to kill
the Initiative and referendum.
Abuse lta powers and the best weap
on of selfprotectlon ever established
Tor an electorate, whl die a natural
death. .. ,
: The voters alone hold the secret
of preserving the Oregon system.
The people's weapon must bo pre
served by the 'people. They alone
can protect themselves by turning
down all unnecessary and frenklsh
laws. The time to strike Is at the
polls and every ethorlal measure
which Yalls to measure up to genuine
public service requirements, should
be most vigorously swatted.
- 'One man, or a single group of 'men,
may kill the Initiative and referen
dum. A proposed measure, If actu
ated by personal spltowork, political
Jealousy, or kindred motives, will do
more to abolish the Oregon system,
when orTce' placed on the statute
books, than a hundred direct attacks
on the initiative and referendum.
A safe and sane plan for the vo
ters to follow, If they would preserve
the sanctity oi the Oregon system, is
to vote a general "NO" on all meas
ures submitted for consideration of
the people, unless the Intent of the
fiamers Is clear beyond question, and
the voter can bob genuine merit In
the bill. When. In douut, vote "NO"
should be the slogan. In 99 cases
out of a hundred this rule, If follow
ed1, will do moro to preserve the Ini
tiative and referendum, than any
other course at the polls.
The-lOOth-case- however hapnerjs
to be on the' ballot to be voted, on
next week. . ThlB Is the referendum
by the state tax commission author
izing an Increase In the state levy
to meet-war-time emergencies. Ah
emphatic "Yes" should be voted on
this measure, for there Is no argu
ment against It In view . of present
conditions. Oregon's war record
must be kept up at nil cost.
With this exception, however, the
voterB should register a vigorous pro
test on every otner bill proposed at
the coming election, or referred, ax
the case may be. . There happenB to
be four refcremlums and two initia
tive measures to be considered at the
coming election. They should ' be
snowodi under, -.'ith the exception of
the war ,omergency measure men
tioned. ; . .. . . .; . 1 .
No one will ueny that the normal
school Is a splendid Institution;
neither Is there any argument against
establishing a home tor dependent,
delinquent and dofectlve children. At
this particular time, however, .'these
expenditures are uncalled for, and
the voter will be doing his bit by
voting NO' on No. 301 and No. 303.
So also with two fish bills to be
considered. Both are referendums,
one to prohibit seine and' set-net fish
lng on the Rogue river and tributa
ries, and the other closing the WU
lnmetto river to fishing south of Os
wego. The flshorman haB a right to
live, and during war times should
have the advantage, if nny there be,
over the man who fishes for sport.
Vote "NO" on both theBO bills. Com
mon sonBB will dictate such action.
Then too. are the JuckBon bills,
proposed by Initiative petition, to
abolish the delinquent tax ; publica
tion law and to establish a different
rate for legal advertising. Both are
creatures of Sam Jackson, editor of
the Portland Journal," who Ib socking
a golden opportunity to even up old
scores with the state press of Oregon.
A few years ago the state presB
snowed under the single tax measure,
which Brother . jHCkcon saW fit to
foster. It was r. bitter pill, andi now
under the guise of so-called war
time necessity, Jackson would even
matters up with the press, at the
expense of the taxpayers, whose pro
perty, under the proposed Jackson
delinquent tax bill, will be left to
the mercies of the tax title grabber.
The legal rate olll Ir lower than the
same charges made Dy legislatures
In most ot the states of the union,
and while Mr. Jackson knows that
newspaper cost have gone up from
30 to 100 per cent during the past
year, as In all lln s of industry, he
tnlnks the 'present rate of 6 cents
per line should be lowered at this
particular time. The personal spite
work element figures largely, in the
Jackson bills. This is Bhown part
icularly In the delinquent tax meas
ure. The present law provides that
mail notice be sent out. Jackson's
substitute measure provides the same
thing. The present law provides for
publication ONLY after mall notice
has failed to notify. In spite of .this
fact, there never yet has anoeared
a clear statement-. of the present law
in the Journal's contemptible cam
paign to cloudi the Issue before the
voters.. Both these bills should' be
swatted along with the rest. They
come within the general rule. - Kill
them. ... , .. :. . , , i

sands of American soldiers, who have
never had any trade, are. going to
have a chance to learn one. under
the tutelage of Young Men's Christi
an Association instructors : before
they return to America. It Is hoped
by this plan that the soldlern, no
matter what their vocation before
the war, will go back home better
equipped for It or for something bet
ter than before they enlisted.
Fifty instructors from the United
States already are busy with classes
of American soldiers In the United
Kingdom and at least fifty more are
needed before January 1, 1919. It
is estimated that for each of the
hundred Y. M. C. A. secretaries en
listed in this work five volunteer in
structors can be obtained from the
ranks of the soldlerB. This would
give a "faculty" In the British Isles
of six hundred men capable of teach
ing 10,000 men In actual class work;
between ,10,000 and 20,000 In cor
respondence studies and of giving
lectures every week to from 25,000
to 60,000 troops.
i The work In France Is much grea
ter, of course, and there the Y. M.
C. A. Is receiving The cooperation of
the military forces In fitting the
American soldier for useful occupa
tion when he has finished the job
under Generals Foch and Pershing.
This great Y. M. C. A. plan Is
based upon tho work the Now Zea
land Y. M. C. A. has done In Eng
land, which has challenged American
admiration. Amerlcnn workers have
visited the New Zealand camp for
convalescent troops In the southeast
of England', where the Zealanders
are cultivating intensely a 40 acre
farm and where . tho New Zealand
troops are learning to be better far
mers than ever.
Technical Instruction for American
soldiers Is to Include the study of
automobile gas engines and aircraft
engines; mathematics, from arithme
tic to trigonometry; mechanical
drawing and topographical draught
ing; plan reading and estimating;
principles of mechanics; principles
of electricity; arts and crafts; gen
eral principles of argrlculture, which
will Include model farms and demon
strations In truck gardening and the
raising of poultry, hogs, cattle, etc.,
with courso In dolrylng and every
other branch oi farm work.
