rather confusing to the lay mind. 1t
was only a couple of weeks or so ago
that a doctor made the assertion before
the State School for Health IOflicers, at
its session in Burlington, that health
officers agreed generally in saying that
tuberculosis was unknown in countries
where cows did not exist. Vermont's
laws recognize the danger of trans
mission of pulmonary consumption
from cattle to human beings, and recently
many valuable herds have been slaugh-
tered by direction of the state COM
mission, after the detection of tubercu-
wide circulation, and because of his high
rank and authority in this special line of
research, much stress will be laid on
it. But it should be noted that he
admits he has made no positive tests to
prove his latest pronouncement, as in the
nature of the case human subject would
be required; while it is to be supposed
that the wide spread belief in the med
ical profession that cattle can and do
transmit the disease, must be based upon
something more tangible than theory.
If DR.. Koch fails to establish his latest
theory, he will lose much of the prestige
he has gained in other lines Of bacteria
logical research; for the increase of
tuberculosis has made that disease the
CHIEF subject for study in the medical
profession, and a mistake in so import
ant matter will serve to discredit the
one in error.

1t has been shown that when Spain
sold the Philippine islands to the United
States she was parting with something
she didn't own. But the imperialists
claimed the contrary, and had their way
for the time being. Concedng that
their position was correct and that
Spain had full power, how about the
claim now presented by Senior Jesus
Gomez, the Spanish merchant, who sets
forth that he has title to the larger part
of the island of Luzon, including the
land on which Manila Is located? He
says he is prepared to show that the
original grant was made to his ancestor,
Gen. Jesus Gomez, by Governor General
Davilo, and approved by the govern
ment of. Spain at that time, and again
in 1915, and third time by the Spanish
Cabinet Just prior to the signing of our
recent treaty Of Paris.

Why the Heat and Drought?


Secretary of Agriculture Wilson thinks
he has found out why this summer has
been so full of tabasco and trouble.
He believes that the ruthless stripping
of our forests is steadily increasing the
area of arid lands in the West and pro-
voking long periods of drought over
large sections of the country, like the
spell which has for weeks past meuanced
the corn crop of so many states.
Mr.. Wilson Is not alone in this opinion.
Scientific men who have made weather
conditions study have been telling us
for many years that if we kept on chop
ping down our trees faster than we grew
new ones to take their places we should
eventually change our climate for the
worse.
Forests are not only beautiful but use
full. They do promote RAINFALL or else
all the expert authorities on the economy
of nature are mistaken. We have been
cutting down and consuming or export
ing them at the rate of eighteen billion
of cubic feet of lumber every year. And
as surely as this rate of chopping is kept
up, unbalanced by systematic planting
on reservations on very large scale, our
forests are doomed to disappear within
the next fifty years.
Experts sent out by the agricultural
department are now in the West making
an investigation of forest conditions in
the rainless sections where the crops are
dying of thirst. In order to give the
farmers a chance to gather grain, and
city people a chance to live in summer,
congress may yet have to say stop to
the commercial destroyers of our forests,
who are turning them into merchandise
at the rate of over billion dollars year.

The remarkable spectacle of the
government conducting lottery, which
has been in progress this week in
Oklahoma, should not cause the home
stead hunter to conclude that there is no
more land to be had except by this
method of chance. The government
land Office has millions of acres open to
entry by actual settlers, and this land is
in many states. To be sure much of it
is distant from markets and railroad
facilities but this cannot be for long, at
the present rate of development. Some
of the new railroads in the northwest
offer their own land grants near their
railroads to those who will settle thereon
and develop the land. The Canadian
roads, we believe, make similar offers to
settlers in the far northwest Oklahoma
is fertile state near to markets; but
those who are disappointed by reason of
the present lottery plan of drawing land
need not give up all hope of securing
homesteads.
