THE TuBERCUIOSi>P PLAGUE.

The greatest physical foe of human
ity is consumption and the health au-
thorities of State and nation should
spare neither labor nor expense in dis
covering its causes and destroying
them.
One potent source of the spread of
this dread disease has long been known
to be tuberculous cattle, whose infected
meat or milk may be distributed broad
cast in the markets. The Secretary of
the State Board of Live Stock Commits
sioners of Illinois has prepared some
interesting statistics concerning the
inspection of consumptive cattle.
On May IL the tuberculin tests were
begun, and between that date and July
l the number of cattle subjected to ex-
animation was 2,061. OF these AT
showed Enthusiastically that the tubercle
bacillus was present.
The animals inspected included the
herds of all the State institutions and
infected cattle were found in EACH The
herds of the great dairy counties of Illi-
nois showed the largest percentage of
disease
This is startling information, yet it
is not new. What is true of Illinois
must be true to greater or less extent
of every State in the Union.
There are considerable obstacles in
the way of an honest enforcement OF
the inspection law especially in States
where self-seeking politicians are in
power, for cattle are valuable and hui
man life doesn't always outweigh votes
in modern politics.
There is nothing of more Importance
to the public health than rigorous in
spection of every herd of cattle in
every State in the Union, with view
to stamping out this DREAD disease and

Persistent Advertising
Brings Success.
ADVANTAGE OF MANUAL TRAINING

The Register has long advocated the
introduction into our public school sys-
tenn of manual training and has so far
been successful as to witness the addi-
ton to the State University at Morgan
town of most complete and thorough
lyequipped manual training department,
whose success has been apparent from
the start.
1t is the object of our leading edu-
Gators, however, not to confine this
system to the higher or 70 special in
situations of learning, to which are
sent but a small percentage of the
youth of the country, but to place these
inestimable advantages of practical ed
ucation within the reach of the great
masses of school children, who when
they are through with the common
schools are through with all school
training. And to this end it is desired
to incorporate manual training into the
public school system of the country
generally.
There is considerable misapprehen-
sion as to the scope of manual train
ing, which mas in the past been a Seri
Gus embarrassment to its general intro
duction. The erroneous impression has
been formed that it means simply the
teaching of trades and nothing more.
This is far from being its object AS a
writer on the subject in the current
North American Review says, it teaches
sdirectness of purpose, concentration
of effort, accuracy of observation, and
also mental and moral precision and
honesty"
1.-THE teacher, the writer goes on,
"and even the pupil himself may think
j that book lesson has been learned
when it has not been or that an idea
MAS been mastered when l. has been
only half grasped or totally misunder-
stood. But this cannot happen in man
nal work. A tangible thing is done,
and rightly done, or 1t is not. A
stitched seam is straight, leaf is cor
rectly drawn. a carpenters joint is true,
or it is not Neither deception nor
self-deception is possible in the work
shop, and the spirit of accuracy, sys-
TEN, conscientiousness self-reliance
and helpful cooperation that it devel-
ops is carried over into the other class
rooms"
Plainly, manual training teaches the
pupil the practical use and application
of knowledge he learns theoretically,
while it inculcates habits of directness,
concentration, accuracy, mental and
moral precision and industry. A pupil
may be able to recite from memory ac-
curately enough to pass an examination
an intellectual lesson he has really not
half mastered, but this cannot be the
case in manual training, where the
thing actually accomplished is the test

The death of Robert G. Ingersoll is
the cue for an avalanche of cheap wit
at the expense of the belief or, rather,
the unbelief, of the great agnostic. But
although Mr.. Ingersoll rallied against
the divinity of Christ and the orthodox
idea of future punishment, he neverthe-
less exhibited none of the effects of I'M
believing in his own life. 1ngersoll was
a man of splendid parts intellectually
and was one of the most brilliant of
American orators, and in his private
life he was known to be charitable.
just and honorable man. and most
loving and kind husband and father.
Can as much be said of many who
have delighted to abuse him?

The old dispute between the United
States and Canada and Great Britain
with regard to the Alaskan boundary
has reached a point where the cOuntry's
dignity and selfrespect demand that a
firm and final stand be taken by our
government against the unwarranted
claim of Canada, which wants tide
water port and territory long occupied
by the United States, whose title there
to was never questioned until after the
gold discoveries in the Klondike.
In dealing with Canada and Great
Britain in this matter the administra
ton at Washington has shown a most
remarkable patience, which is, indeed,
in marked contrast with some of its
recent dealings with notably weaker
nations, to say nothing of its bullying
buster over the wretched Filipinos.
However, we are informed that our
timid administration has finally de-
cided to take a manly stand in the dis
pute and has instructed Ambassador
Choate to the effect that the United
States Government refuses point-blank
to give away territory belonging to it
by right of purchase and long Occupa-
tion and that it does not propose to
allow Great Britain or Canada any
privileges within the limits of that ter
ritory. This is the only consistent
position the United States can assume
in this dispute and it should have been
taken at the outset of the unwarranted
controversy. And now that our ulti-
matum has been delivered let us hope
the politicians in the White House will
have sufficient backbone to stick to it
through thick and thin.
There is no need to be apprehensive
on this score. England is not going to
quarrel with us on the strength of this
spurious Canadian claim. England gen.
orally backs down when presented with
the direct issue and she will do so in
this case But whether she does or
not the American people are not used
to being plundered of their territory at
the caprice of other greedy powers.
There is quite a difference yet between
this nation and the Chinese, despite the
weakling in the White House

THE GOLF GIRL.

In jaunty scarlet jacket,
And a mannish little shoe,
A hat with quill and tartan,
And skirt to clear the dew,
On the grassy links [ see her
Every glorious summer day,
And forget to mind my putting
While | watch her graceful play.
We have met in dreamy waltzes
When rose was on her breast,
But her partner at the bunkers
Is the one who knows her best.
Though the ball is lost forever
And her hair is out of curl,
Nothing spoils the sunny temper
OF the pretty golfng girl.
If all women once were flowers,
AS an ancient legend tells,
She has doomed sprig of heather
On the breezy Scottish fells,
For the wind that roams the brackel
And the blue of morning skies
Still is ripping in her laughter,
Still is beaming from her eyes.
But in gray or golden weather,
Stepping lightly to the tees,
Making drives with daring swiftness
Holding out" with merry ease,
To the painted balls not only
Does she bring the golfers's arts,
For with Cupid as her caddie
She is playing with our hearts.
