HIT THE TYPHOID
Those citizens who realize that tin v , ui
lie of assistance in solving community prob
lent eta do no better than to out and
vote at the bond election. It is a Wonderful
chance tn aid in solving what has been the
most vexing of Ontario's difficulties.
In view of the discussions which the fen
idemics of typhoid hate eauaed ifarinp tin
past two years it is hard to eee why there
were not more than 191 persons out to "t
on the preliminary election two weekl ego
It is true tht. there is no opposition to
the proposed new system, that everyone if
for it, but those who are interested and who
fail to vote are almost as dangerous as real
objectors, for by not voting they are making
it appear to purchasers of the proposed bono
issue that the people are not greatly inter
ested in the matter. A good big strong vote
would show possible buyers that the people
want a water system and want it sufficici th
to get out en masse and vote for it.
Do not, therefore, let the fact that th lit
is no open opposition to the proposed im
provement lull you into a feeling that soiiie
one else can do your voting. Tf you do not
want typhoid in Ontario, et out and do your
own voting. The very fact that there were
fifteen votes against the proposed chart ei
.iinendnieiit iudieates that there are I lew
here who want to continue the alliance be
tween diaoaaa and the city, or who at leant
are opposed to taking steps to drive tin
scourge from the city.
THE OPEN FORUM.
denl Wilson. Llovd-Oeorue and latch those
of Chancellor Hertling and Count Oeernin
are the preliminary pour parlors of peace.
Of course the representatives of the Pots
dam pirates would hardh recognise that
fact since thev do not do business in that
manner, over in (lerinaiiv. and in all prob
ability only distorted versions of the I'resi
dent's addresses and those of Lloyd George
have lieen printed in the Central Empires.
If only they were printed in full and all of
the peoples of Oer.H.n and Austin could
read, then indeed, the hattles of the trenches
would soon he over.
GETTING ACTION.
Bullets and bayonets are Dot tin only
weapons of this great World War. The
newspapers are being used to advantage and
historians of the future may view then: as
numbered among the mosl potent of ihe
weapons for the battle seems to rage in the
open brum Of world opinion more than in
the trenches of France and Flanders.
Starting with Lloyd thole's series of
addresses and growing more intense since
the United states joined In the struggle and
President Wilson nrougni ins bmmuuvm
controversial ability to the aid of the allies,
the opponents- of Machialclian diplomacy
have been talking directly over the heads of
the Chancellories of the Central powers to
their unfortunate peoptaa, The spokesman
of the allies are giving tangible evidence ol
the belief the; entertain In Persidnt wu
son's proposition that unless the Pfoples
guarantee the proposals the allies will have,
no dealing! with the governments of Oer
mam and Austria.

While Senator Chaiiiherlain may not
have the sat isl'act ion of Seeing his plan for
a war cabinet favorably acted upon, it is
measurably certain that it' the Overman bill
does ass he can take to himself credit for
centralising responsibiltiy for more effl
dencv in the conduct of the war. The Over
man bill is aimed to yet. from another SUgle,
what the Chamherlain war cahinet measure
was intended to secure. It remains to be
seen whether it will be successful.
In sponsoring this Wll President Wilson
has, as in previous times of stress, taken the
burden of responsibility all to himself. n
shows no Tear and is evidently confident of
his ability to secure men capable of leader
ship iii the various branches of service, a-
well as iii the greater task of originating and
carrying forward an adequate imperative
plan of action.
No pride of oinnion should prevent Sen
ator Chamherlain or any other critic of the
President from wishing and praying for his
success in this gigantic task. The very life
blood of untold thousands depends upon his
success. The 1'nited States has the men
capable of performing the work the P
dent has asked be assigned to him direct
If the President will but call upon the bun
dreds who are willing, if given authority,
and not hound hy time worn government
red tape, to serve the nation at this tini,
without rega'xl In pait affiliation past or
present, the growing list of critics will be
silenced, and Senator Chamberlain can be
credited with having forwarded a worthy
object.
MORE CAMOUFLAGE.

ask. if that be noii-partisanisin then what is
