SOME FOOLISH TALK.
[Iowa Citizen.l


Since the state convention at Des
Moines a number of the papers which
have been active in furnishing matter
for the democratic press have claimed
that the platform adopted was COM
plete backdown for Governor Cummins.
This is foolish talk. There was abso-
lutely no discord in the republican con-
vention at Des Moines. There was abb
solutely no backing down either, on
the part of Governor Cummins or any
one else. A platform was drawn by
Mr.. Cummins which was submitted to
Senator Allison and several other men
prominent in state politics. and APP
proved by them as embodying repub-
lican principles.
The Citizen does not want to be
forced to say unpleasant things. 1t
realizes that there are good republicans
who We're led to believe that the plat
form of one and two years ago Went too
far, and it is willing and always has
been to accord them the right to their
belief. 1t is those who wilfully misrep-
resent the declarations of the platform
that it takes to task-those who seek
to give out an erroneous impression.
The truth is that Mr.. Cummins had
the votes in the convention at Des
Moines to have placed the exact words
of last years platform in the tariff
plank had he desired to do so. But
he and his friends recognized the wish
of the minority for a change in the
wording. With that recognition on the
part of the majority the minority
agreed that other differences should be
dropped.

PUCK is A "BACK NUMBER"

When Puck announced his ability to
put girdie round the earth in forty
minutes he established a record. Flora
Temple reached the limit with 2:40 on
la plank road; she had no dream of
Dan Patch, Cresceus or Star Pointer,
nor had Puck of that mysterious ele-
ment that should climb the mountains,
drive beneath seas and ring the globe
twenty-five minutes quicker than his
best time. Twelve minutes between
the governor of the Philippines and the
president of the United States! Poor
old Puck. He is relegated with Flora
Temple and the other back numbers to
the gallery of the has beens." Tai;
has the message in his hand via the
Frisco. Poor old Puck! His glittering
girdle has suffered electrical transmu-
tation to tow string. Let us hear no
more of Puck.
Knotting as it does Hawaii and the
Philippines to the home government
the completion of the cable on the
fourth day of July was both patriotic
and appropriate. 1t is in way q. gov
eminent cable. as the United States Of
fetal messages take precedence over all
others and In emergencies control of the
cable vests in this government. Dewey
will not find 1t necessary TO cut this
cable. AS part of the quid pro quo for
these special privileges the company
was furnished the surveys of the Pa
cific ocean bed made by our navy some
years ago and which proved of great
value in Fastening the work. The con-
tract of the Commercial Gable Com
rany with this government expired
on Jan. /, 1905. Thus j. will be seen
that the company beat the terms of the
contract practically year and half.
If the shades of the departed are
permitted to return TO the scene OF
their earthly failures or successes the
spirit of the first great cable layer must
spun, like spiders, the gossamer thread
from the continent past Hawaii to the
Philippines; and if the disembodied re-
tain the sentiments of their corporeal
existence he must have envied the ease
and alacrity with which cable four
times as long as the one he spent his
life in laying settled into place on the
bottom of Balboa's sea. Perhaps he
felt that the multiplication of his diff

connectcrs of hemispheres and their
success is but an added honor to his
name.

invite an invasion of foreign manufac-
turers or strange competition at
home? 1t apears to us to be highly de-
sirable that there should be no sec
tional discrimination or individual ia :
voritism." Are we compelled to infer
that our democratic brethren cherish a
contrary opinion? Tariff rates must
from time to time be changed to meet
the varying conditions incident to the
progress Of our industries and their
changing relations in our foreign and
domestic commerce." We should hate
to believe that any follower of Jeffer-
son or Cleveland or Bryan, of David
Bennett Hill, Richard Croker or Tom
johnson was obtuse or insincere
enough to contradict that proposition.
Duties that are too low should be in
creased, and duties that are too high
should be reduced" If not, why noto
Does any rational being think that du-
ties which are too high should be in
creased? Or are there democrats who
are so vexed at progressive republican
ism that they are ready to fall back
attributed to their opponents of leav-
ing the tariff severely alone for all time
to come?
1t is not altogether easy to be patient
with political critics who try to hide
their chagrin behind a pretense that
the resolutions of the Iowa convention
are crooked and ambiguous. They
know that party platform ought to
be, as the Iowa platform is, a firm
declaration of principles, not precise
formula of legislation. They hoped to
see republicans falling into disagree
ment and confusion. Instead they see
them increasingly united and confident.
1t is painful experience, but they will
have to bear it. They are entitled to
the privilege of making wry face, but
misrepresentation will not aid them.

RECENT TYPHOID INVESTIGATIONS.

| The latest issue of the Iowa Board OF
Health Bulletin quotes some interest
ing experiments reported by Levy and
kayser to ascertain the duration or life
of the typhoid bacillus. In one of these
| experiments the discharges from ty-
phoid fever patient We're thrown With

months. The contents of the vault were
then spread on the soil Of a garden, ana

perature. the investigators succeeded IN
cultivating from the ga: den soil true
t,phoid bacilli. The authors call spe-
cial attention to the fact, shown by this
observation, that the contents OF
vaults containing typhoid bacilli may
continue dangerous even after the lapse
OF months.
Flicker. Berlin bacter!ologist, as the
result of experiments conducted by
himself condemns the common housefly
as a dangerous agent of infection. He
las repeatedly isolated the typhoid ba-
cilli from the bodies of flies caught in
Louses where cases of typhoid had oc-
Cured. He made some experiments TO
determine the length of life of typhoid
bacilli in or on the bodies of flies that
t,oJ baa, fad Will, infections material
As result it appears that flies fed
with typhoid bacilli are able to convey
the microbes to objects with which
they may come in contact as long as
twenty-t three days after the feeding
Flicker isolated the bacilli from the
head, from the wings and from the legs
OF flies i'll five days, and from their in
;estines nine days, after feeding.
Ficker's investigation of The housefly as
q distributor of germs carries the rec
that stables and manure
heaps which are the Matching places OF
flies should be thoroughly dislnfected
and cease to be culture bed for these
Insects that scatter the germs OF "
phoid dystentery and other diarrhpal
diseases.
All this is in line with the findings
OF DR.. Hoffman in his recent report to
the city council of Marshalltown ana
with the views of Geheimrath Profess
sor Robert Koch, which We're made the
basis of an editorial article in these COLI
umns some weeks ago. Water supplies

IS the cause of contamination. Profess
sor koch's theory of isolation of ty-
phoid cases under authority of health
officer whose duty consists in enforcing
strict rules for disinfectian, the expert
msnts of Levy and kayser and the
charges made by Flicker against house
flies as disease distributors seem
worthy OF consideration when the
causes of epidemics are summed up.
