count of their lack of culture. If this is
true. It behooves American oyster breeders
and educators to look into the matter.
The Causes of insanity and suicide in this
country are sufficiently numerous without
promoting any. 1t is to be regretted that
the professor does not state how many
oysters an adult person can eat with i'm
punity. He ought also to have stated
whether cooking renders them innocuous.
as some scientists say it does our city
water. In the Eastern cities it is common
thing for person to eat several dozen
raw oysters at a sitting, and those who are
fond OF steamed oysters sometimes order
from a bushel 10 bushel and a half at
a time-of course, however, they do not
eat the shells AS there is no case on rec
sane or injured in any way by eating five
six dozen raw or a bushel of steamed
oysters, it is presumed that it would take
several times as many to constitute an
overdose.
The professors discovery illustrates the
careful methods of some scientific experts.
Starting out with the postulate that fish
food yields an extra amount of phosphorus,
and assuming that oysters contain more
phosphorus than any other variety of fish,
he had little trouble in reaching the con-
clusior that oysters are a prolific cause of
insanity and suicide. 1t is at once a sur
prising and an alarming discovery.

Mother Goose was used to point a moral
by Chicago preacher in his sermon of
Sunday. In describing what he called the
first sympathetic strike he said:
There was certain old woman whose
pig would not get over the stile, and she
called on the dog 10 bite the pig. When
the dog counted it none of his business
she commanded the stick to beat the dog,
and then tire fire to burn the stick. and SO
on till she was endeavoring 20 bring q re-
mote cause to bear upon the desired effect.
Finally the rope began &c hang the butcher
and the butcher TO save his life began TO
Kill the OK. and the OK thus threatened
began to drinl, the water and the water
began to QuencE the fire and the fire be-
gan 10 burn the stick and the stick began
to beat the Jog and the dog began TO h.fe

the Old woman got home thar night. But
how many things she had set at variance
in crdcr to set her own particular pig into
her Own lot. The whole universe Was IN

but II was bad morals.

thought there ought to be simpler way CT

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

Whether the News shall be able to sub
stantiate its charge that Mr.. Logsdon
sought from both prosecutor and judge
leniency for notorious gambler because
he contributed to the campaign fund is not
so very material, for its charges have
brought out the admission from all con-
cerned that this same gambler did contrib
ute $500 to the Republican campaign fund
and $500 to the Democratic campaign fund
in the last city election. These contri-
buttons could have had no other purpose
than to purchase leniency in the enforce
ment of the laws which he constantly vio-
lates in the pursuit of prescribed business.
He does not contribute because he is Re-
publican or Democrat. He has no politics
but business. and it is part of his business
to deal with men that have no business but
politics and through them seek to influence
courts, police and other instruments for the
enforcement of law, in order that he may
still prey upon the weak and escape the full
legal consequences of his criminal work.
That is the long and short of 1t, in plain
English, and when the campaign commit
tees of the two parties accepted these con-
tributions, by implication they contracted
with him to help him obtain immunity.
Why this necessity of Dig campaign
funds? certain amount Of money is
necessary for printing. for taking polls. for
clerical work and maintaining a legitimate
organization with wagons, etc., to get out
the party vote election day, but every
one familiar with the machinery of politics
understands perfectly we'll tina. all these
expenses can be fully met with a very
moderate campaign fund, and are'm when
conditions are such that the party has very
little chance of success and is thus able
to collect comparatively little money. And
everybody further knows that in n munich
pal campaign the party that stands all
equal or more than an equal chance of sue
cess finds money pouring into its campaign
fund with little or no effort
1t would seem unjust to blame I.ogsdon
for accepting the contribution when he was
acting in line with his predecessors OF both
parties, but there should be some way of
putting end to this easy method O.. buy
ing immunity for lawbreakers and favors
for corporations. Our laws have gone so
far as to recognize political organizations
as legal entities and charge them with GER
tlia responsibilities. Why not go a step
further and regulate them in their collec-
ton and distribution of campaign funds?
So far as the Republican party is con-
cerned, the Journal believes it expresses
q, LII.
the party voters when it declares that it
does not want any funds in the party treas
ury from lawbreakers of any kind, and
it would like to see party campaign funds

1t Is said some naval officers in WASH
jngton are criticising Emperor William for
making minute examination of the bat
tleship Kearsarge at Kiel. The criticism
APPLIES suspicion that in scrutinizing the
construction and mechanical features Of
the ship the Emperor was actuated by i'm
proper motives. The imputation is an I'M
worthy one. When the Emperor asked the
captain OF the kearsarge. will you kindly
Let me see your ship?" he intended it as a
compliment. and 1t was impossible for the
captain to refuse. No doubt the Emperor
was interested, but he could not have
gained any valuable information in his

. GERMAN SCIENTISTS DISCOVERY.

Acting under the patronage of the Ger
man government, a scientist of that coun-
try, Prof Anton Siegafritz by name. has
made an investigation and report regarding
the alleged deleterious effects of oysters
on the human system, and especially on the
BRAIN He was led to undertake the inves-
tigation by a statement made some years
ago by an American naturalist that fish
diet contributed more phosphorus to the
system than any other, and was, therefore,
to be recommended to brain workers. who
are supposed to consume their normal sup
ply of phosphorus more rapidly than 9TH
ers 1t is related that on one occasion a
riety went to a physician to ascertain how
much fish he should eat to bring his brain
action up to normal. He was advised to
begin with a whale and increase the dose
as needed. Professor Siegafritz does not
seem to have heard of this case, else he
After promising that larger proportion
of phosphorus is derived from oysters than
from any other kind of fish or shellfsh, he
adds:
But I have discovered that indulgence
in oysters is by no means safe. Their least
injurious effect is on brain workers. who
by reason of their greater combustion of
phosphorus, seem capable of asSimiating
many oysters without evil consequences.

tive tendency in the oyster, when eaten,
to produce emotional insanity. or. at least,
a transitory, unheralded species of frenzy.
The professor says he has noted and
studied the effects of oyster eating among
beavers and stevedores of England, and he
has seen them suddenly transformed from
men into wild beasts. He does not say
whether these persons took any other slim

OF President Smith, OF
EartinsviIIc Line. Well Received
Views OF the Mayor and Others.

The announcement yesterday OF Charles
Finley Smith. president of the Indianapolis
* Martinsville traction line, that the road
would be extended into the Indiana coal
fields. and that the interurban line is pre-
pairing to handle coal traffic for Indianapo-
lis and other points alone the line was well
coined by business men and others who
have given the problem of coal rates a
great deal of consideration during the past
year or so. The consensus Of opinion is
that the fuel question will be in a large
measure solved If the electric lines 20 into
the coal carrying business.
Mr.. Smiths announcement is that his
road Is to run southwark from Martinsvile
by the way of Gosport to Linton and suIli-
van and the Greene and Sullivan county
coal fields. There is to be no delay. Mr..
Smith says. in making these extensions.
When the line is constructed into the coal
fields the company will put up a power
house at some convenient point in the coal
territory capable of furnishing power for
the entire system. 1t is the intention OF the
company, Mr.. Smith announces, TO gen.
crate electricity from coal at the mines for
all the towns and cities along the lines for
n&hting and motor purposes.
LINE TO BLOOMINGTON.
The extension plans also contemplate q
road from Martinsville south to Blooming
ton and eventually TO Bedford, from where
1t is the intention of the company TO build
still farther south. BY this line the stone
country will also be tapped, and il is the
intention of Mr.. Smith to make his road a
pioneer in this business.
Another interurban line is expected to as
sist the city In solving the fuel question.
Officers of the new Danville line announced
yesterday that the road would be prepared
to handle coal traffic. The construction OF
the Danville line will begin this week. The
route will be west from Danville, through
cambridge, TO Rockville. and south,
through Clinton, to Terre Haute. This Is
the very heart of the coal country The
Vermillion county coal field viii be tapped
and branches will be sent of northward
to Clay county. to vigo county, and also
TO the south Parke county fields The road
will be built without heavy grade SO that
twenty or thirty coal cars can be hauled
in one train the officials Of the company
believe. The line will not go through Green
castle it was authoritatively announced
yesterday.
Mayor Bookwalter and Mr.. Logscon and
Mr.. Mcguire, of the Board of Public Works.
who discussed the announcement of Mr..
Smith yesterday, said they had not gone
into the matter sufficiently TO give opinions
of great value, but they believed from what
they know of the situation that electric
roads could play great part in supplying
indianapolis with cheap fuel. The attitude
of the electric lines may have some influ-
ence in preventing any more hosting OF
coal rates by steam roads, they believe.

NATIONAL GUARD CAMP
1T is ESTIMATED THERE WILL BE
TWO THOUSAND MEN HERE.
The Militia Companies VIII he in
Camp at the Fair Grounds from
July 26 to August 3.

Within few days Adjutant General
Ward will issue more extensive orders in
regard to the camp of instruction of the
Indiana National Guard, which will be
held at the State fair grounds from July
rs to Aug. 5. The troops will begin to arrive
in camp Sunday, July 26. There will be
three regiments of infantry and one bat
talon of artillery. The artillery battalion
comprises the three batteries located at
Indianapolis. Fort Wayne and Lafayette.
Governor Durbin has asked the War De-
partment to detail West Point man to at
tend the encampment and give such in
structions and advice as is needed. 1t is
also expected that Captain Mason. Judge
advocate general of the Department of the
Lakes. and Colonel Arthur L. Wagner. adj
jutant general of the same department, will
attend the encampment.
Adjutant General Ward estimates. that
there will be about two thousand enlisted
men in camp. The enlisted men will re-
ceive pay for their services. The State pays
them 81 day and gives them transporta-
ton and subsistence. Besides drawing 81 a
day from the State they will receive about
fifty cents a day from the government.
Officers will. of course. receive pay from
rank Under the new military law the gov
eminent will pay the bulk of the expenses
of the camp. There has been some talk of
introducing an innovation this year in the
way of battle drill, but there is some
doubt about there being sufficient room in
the fair grounds for this sort OF drill. The
troops will continue to wear blue uniforms
The war department has adopted a drab-
colored uniform for the United States sol
diers, and since the department has be-
gun to take a new interest in the National
Guard and as the government is paying
part of the expense of maintaining II. the
same uniform will gradually be adopted
for the State militia. However. no change
has yet been made in the uniform of the
guard and Adjutant General Ward does
not think there will be. He is of opinion
that the government will decide to adopt
another uniform for use instead of the drab.
Quartermaster General Perry is getting
ready to award the contracts for supplies
for the camp.

Infantry, stationed at Fort Sheridan, ILL.,,
