Bynum. Law. and Decency.


We are thoroughly in sympathy with the
movement in the United States Senate TO
secure rejection OF the nomination of Will
lam D. Bynum as one of the appraisers Of
the port of New York. There are few peo-
pie who do not understand the reason why
the attempted appointment is an abuse of
authority and violation OF law
A vacancy exists in the board OF apprais-
ers which the President is bound to fill
with a Democrat Bynum is no more
Democrat than the President is himself
Yet he is nominated TO one OF the best
places in the gift OF the Executive. Why
is not Bynum a Democrat? Because in
1896 he bolted his party, its platform, its
organization. AID its candidate. and did
everything possible TO him TO promote the
success OF the Republican party and its
candidate. Mr.. Mckinley is entitled to

toward his political opponents as we have

In fact, it is not the safest thing in The
world to fight any sort of creature which
is angry enough to bite.
The truth is. however that although
there is undoubtedly such a thing as
rabies. il probably occurs much less often
than timid people think. The disease has
such weirdly fascinating possibilities for
the writer CT fction that it has been used
more or less by authors OF sensational
stories, and the consequence is that when
nervous people are bitten by a dog they
Immediately begin to think about hydro
phobia. Unfortunately. the dog is often
killed before anyone can be sure whether
it had rabies or merely an attack OF COM
mon, ordinary viciousness. and so the per
son bitten is left in narrowing uncertainty
which is the worst possible thing for the
nerves. There are some people who can
hypnotic themselves into thinking that
they have any disease on earth, ii they
happen to know what the symptoms are,
and thus many unfortunate and sensitive
persons have hysterlcaI fits in a situation
OF this kind. in which they give a fairly
good imitation Of genuine hydrophobia.
and probably suffer about as much as if
they actually had the disease. Again. every
case OF hydrophobia, genuine or assumed.
is faithfully reported. while the numer-
Gus. cases in which people have been bit

more than temporary suffering, are not
recorded at all Most men who keep dogs
have gotten a nip now and again from
some animal which was more or less cross.
or injudiciously playful, but the percen-
tage OF human beings who dies OF rabies
is infnitesimal in comparison with the
number Of persons thus bitten
Some cases which seem like rabies are,
again. merely blood poisoning. as in the
case OF the rabbits which died in General
Sternberg's experiments. The bite of any
animal may cause this, but the chances
that it viii are so small that they practi-
cally amount to nothing. There is really
no more reason for muzzling all the dogs
in the District because there have been
Jew alleged cases of rabies than for muz-
zling all the other creatures which can and
possibly may bite somebody
