Found His Birthplace

Jon Templeton, an editor of the
T'dmmany, " y, Times, visited
Milford this week for the first time
since he was taken away by his par
ents in 1898, the year he was born.
His father, A. B, Templeton, kept
the Pike County House, now the
Crissman House, in 1897. S, and he
was at loss to locate the place of
his birth, the name having been
changed. By chance lie was shown
a copy of the Press of April, 1898,
which contained a history of the
husoe with the names of its proprie-
tors since it was erected in 1918 and
this served to identify the spot.
His mother is yet living at the ripe
age Of SO. Mr.. Templeton is also
an author, having written, among
others, a book entitled "The Ro-
nance of Robert Burns, and Is
now engaged on a work dealing
with scenes and incidents in this
county. He was overioyed at the
discovery of the exact spot where
he first saw the light in this charm
ing town.

There are some expressions of dis"
over the fact that the
principal events, or at least the whole
afternoon'ssports. on the Fourth, have
been arranged to take place at the
driving park. 1t was primarily as
sumed that the celebration and the
subscription was to aid the town and
firemen. Most people from out Of
town do not arrange to spend more
than part Of day away from home
and naturally that would be in the
afternoon. BY the present program
they will be attracted outside of the
borough and when the sports at the
park are concluded most will re-
turn home. 1t is unfortunate that
the celebration does not assume the
usual order in having an address and
some exercises which would afford
pleasure to those not wholly engrossed
in creased poles and sack races. a
Fourth of July given up almost
wholly to fantastic performances
hardly meets the popular idea of a
day in which the lessons of patriotism
should be inculcated and the deeds oi
the furefathers in giving us a land Of
liberty recounted. Such a sO-called
celebration becomes a travesty on the
real sentiments on which the day i.
founded and on the spirit in which
in part, at least, it should be obs arved

Philadelphia is experiencing a sea-
son Of lavish generosity on the part of
her chief magistrate, Mayor Ash
bridge. John Wanamaker last week
offered two and half million dol
lars, and put up as earnest two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars, for
the street railway franchises which
the generous mayor and councils do
mated to their friends. The mayor
offers the halting excuse that he had
no assurance that Wanamaker would
luiId any railways. He was fearful
lest that gentleman having invested
80 much money would simply pocket
the franchises and play the dog in the
manger. Has the mayor any assur-
anee that his friends who Ostensibly
have not a dollar invested win in
good faith build9 An official should
at least make a show Of deeency in
his treatment Of the public and
their rights but in this case the

tuberculosis of Cattle.

From recent report by Leonard
Pearson, state veterinarian, on the
repression of tuberculosis of cattle
by sanitation, the following sum-
mary taken therefrom may be of in
terest to those owning cattle;
The purpose of this investigation,
which was made under the auspices
of the state live stock sanitary
board at the veterinary department
of the University of Pennsylvania,
was to measure the effect of good
and bad stabling conditions ON the
progress of tuberculosis IN two
herds.
For the purpose of the investiga-
ton, two herds were established, of
six cows each. Four COWS in each
herd we're healthy and two COWS in
each herd were tubercular. One
herd was kept in a roomy, light,
clean and we'll ventilated stable.
The stalls and partitions between
the managers in this stable were so
constructed that the COWS were
kept apart from each other.
The other stable was small, close,
poorly ventilated, rather dark and
not especially clean. The COWS
here were not separated by the stall
partitions, and they were all fed
from the floor of the passageway in
front of their st0lls.
This experiment continued for
513 days or about II months, and at
the close it was found that two of
the originally healthy animals kept
in the large, light stable, had con-
traoted tuberculosis and the other
two Of the originally healthy COWS
continued sound. OF the four Or
iginally healthy COWS in the small,
dark stable, all had contracted
tuberculosis. The progress of the
disease in each infected animal in
the dark stable was greater than in
the infected animals in the light,
airy stable.
1t is concluded from this expert
ment that:
1. Good sanitary conditions, clean
liness and the comparative isolation
afforded by separate managers and
by stall partitions, have a decided
effect in restricting the spread of
tuberculosis in an infected herd.
2. A poorly ventilated and poorly
lighted stable, and one in which the
cattle come into direct contact, as is
the case when there are no parti-
tions between the stalls and man
gers, is favorable to the spread of
tuberculosis in an infected herd.
3. However good the construction
and sanitary conditions of the stable
and however good the care of the
animals may be. the spread of tu-
bercuIosis cannot be altogether pre-
vented if tubercular cattle and
healthy cattle are kept in the same
stable.

A WORD OF PROTEST.

It may be too late. Possibly be
fore these dlsinterested suggestions
will be read by the committee which
went to Easton this week to fix mp
democratic plan IF harmony the
we'll meaning individuals composing
IT. may have been, like Joseph of
old, tumbled into a pit in which
there was no water by their envious
brethren, and perhaps have already
been drawn out and sold to some
wandering Ishmaelites from North
ampton. If so alas, likewise eheu,
also woe is us. Think of the conse-
quences to the pure and unsullied
democracy of this county Reflect
on the dire results and on the effects
of the de nth blow to that CONNER
cialism in politics which has hereto
fore been the life and spirit of dem
ocratic congressional contests in this
district. Suppose for a moment
that a modus vivendi, that is, a plan
of living without contests. is agreed
on, of what value from a financial
standpoint will conferee be in
futureP What good to strive for
the position, what inducement to be
a candidate when the very soul
which animated action is removed.
The committee should think on
these things. Suppose, perish the
thought, that a rotation is agreed
on: if the agreement is respected,
and who ever heard of a democrat
violating a political promise, what
is the inovitablel Why, that the
county whose turn it is selects the
man and all the other counties must
say "Ah men They cannot dis
sent their conferees could not even
ask the price of a soda for their
vote. They are simply automatons
to record a result in which they
have no actual voice. Will the
untrammeled freemen of this county
submit to a proposition which would
leave them to lick their parched
lips with never the hope of a drop
of anything to moisten them but
spring waterP No; perish the
thought. It must not be. Human
ity cries aloud against any such
Tantalus-like torture. 1t would be
an unheard-of innovation in the
party here and would cause it to
shrivel and wither away like a plant
without moisture. Against such a
calamity we protest. If the CON-
mittee has assented to any such
killing -by-inches plan it would bet
ter remain in Egypt in the house of
Potiphar than to return to a much
injured and deeply wronged demo
cratic constituency.

The death of Bishop Parker, mis-

of its most useful labOrers. Dr..

Deception, or in vigorous English,
lying has ever been one of the vices
Of depraved humanity. A China
man who had been condemned to
wear a wooden collar was seen by
some of his friends. "What have
you been doing" they asked him,
"to deserve this?" II only picked
up an old piece of rope, was his
reply. "And you are punished thus
severely for merely picking up the
end of an old rope?" "Well," :" he
replied, 1.-THE fact is, there was a
bullock tied to the other end" The
poor Chinese are accused of being
great liprs, but if all were as homes
as this one there would be les.
