County Coroner HoXsey was called
to Wenatchee last Monday to hold an
inquest on the body of q man that was
found floating in the Columbia river
near that place, and believed to be the
body of young Parish, whose parents
reside near Cashmere, and who tell
overheard while wrestling on one OF the
Columbia river boats about SIX weeks
since. DR.. HOxsey says no inquest was
held for the reason that 1t was conclu-
siyely established by the clothing that
it was not the body of Parish, but 1t
was also impossible TO ascertain the
name or in any way identity the body.
1t was turned over the undertaken The
body was in an advanced stage OF de-
composition. &#

THE HEAVEN OF HUSBANDS

Ye downtrodden of earth, take
comfort unto yourselves. There
is one place on earth where the
lords of creation get their rights,
at least some of them, where
they can take some comfort and
enjoy life. He can lay abed in
the morning while his wife gets
up and makes the fire. No won
der it is called the Gland of the
morning calm,' or something OF
that sort. Here, to- preserve a
semblance of domestic calm, a
man has tosget up every morn:
ing and build fires, while we
have heard of some who have
also to cook their own breakfast
or go hungry. Oh, for one of
those good japanese, wives that
the writer in the Philadelphia
Press tells about. Here is what
he says:
Sin Japan the good wife is always
dressed before her husband in the
morning. Then, immaculate in attire
and smiling in countenance, If there
are not the necessary servants, performs
the part of the valet. First, she brings
II tray with pipe, tobacco and matches;
and the morning paper to solace her
lord till time for him to dress for break
fast At his toilet she also assists, and
when breakfast is over she speeds him,
with more smiles, on his way to office
or shop

There is no reason why a re-
publican voter, who believes in
the principles of the republican
party-in short, who is repub-
lican from principle, should not
vote the ticket and vote it
straight. When you vote for a
man who opposes every princi-
pie you believes in, you
put a club in his hand to fight
you with, besides putting your
self in the equigocal position of
advocating principle and then
discrediting it by putting man
in office who opposes the very
principle you profess.

JUDGMENT AGAINST KOCH.

Though the world owes great debt to the dis
covery Of the bacillus of tuberculosis it is steadily
coming to realize that he is not an infallible au-
thority concerning that disease Prior to 1901 the
medical profession was in general though not abso-
Lutte accord about the practical identity Of the hui
man and bovine forms Of the malady. In an inter-
national congress in London that year Koch uttered
the opinion that they were essentially different and
that the two varieties were not intercommunicable.
The declaration proved profound sensation, but
it was received with much skepticism. Even then
there was considerable volume of evidence pointing
in the opposite direction However further nvesti-
CATION was desirable if not necessary, and has since
been carried on under official and unofficial auspices
with vigor, both in America and Europe The latest
verdict, from the royal commission in England, is
adverse to Koch as have been nearly all the import
ant utterances Of the last three years upon the sub
>iect Today therefore the eminent German is al
most alone in believing that tuberculosis cannot be
conveyed to man from cattle and to cattle from
Jpn question of this sort, obviously, negative
testimony may be less valuable than positive testi-
mony. If equally competent experts make tests and
secure different results, it may be hard to say why
one set Of experiments failed and why another sue
eeeded. STILL if disease is transmitted by feeding
or inoculation in only limited number Of cases. that
fact demonstrates an alarming possibility. Part Of

BETTER SALARIES FOR TEACHERS

The teachers of the Astoria public schools hav
made application to the school board for increase
salaries. The request has been filed, perhaps to b
taken up at some later date, but more likely to re
main permanently in pigeon-hole in the clerk
desk
There is no class of public servants so importan
as school teachers. The character of the man Il
formed long before he attains his majority, and 1t Il
of the highest Importance that the education OF the
child be properly looked after. The influence Of
the teacher is sweeping in effect and has much to dc
with the future success or failure of the pupil
Despite this fact, teachers are notoriously the
poorest paid of any public employees. Their work
is difficult and exactng and well worth at least 25
per cent greater wages If it is possible for the
school board to devise ways and means to comply
with the request of the teachers, it should by all
means do So In view Of the action Of the teachers
Of the Astoria schools the following from the Port
land Journal will be Of interest the cases here and
there being parallel:
''No aborer is more worthy of her hire than the
school teacher Much more is expected Of her than is
6ApEtSScu III AcnSOLlS uO"A SiauC.
Indeed some parents Of Portland practically turn
over to her the full responsibility Of morally train
ing their children and giving their minds bent
in the right direction. But no matter what aid may
be given by the parents, heavy responsibilities still
rest upon the Conscientious teacher and the mere book
teaching does not begin to cover them, nor is it
even the most important element in the work.
Decent compensation insures good talent and the
best efforts. When the compensation in Portland
falls below the figures which are offered in other
cities in this region Portland cannot expect to com
mand the services of the best qualified teachers With
two and a half months in which they can expect
no wages with the future staring them in the face
as it does every wage worker they must in self de-
tense seek out their services In the main Portland
has been exceedingly fortunate in this respect Its
teachers will average very well with teachers In
corresponding grades in other cities on the coast
But Just because many of them are forced through
circumstances to remain here and accept what is
offered them. is no reason why rich municipality
ike Portland should take advantage OF them The
city should be ready and willing to pay for whatever
service is rendered it. Its teachers should be decent
" paid and whatever the school directors can egi-
timatedy do in this direction the public will ap-
prove"

by showing that the effect of contaminated food may

strongly suggestive of the danger to which children
are exposed, and have fully as great force as Kochs
guess, Furthermore number of physicians have
in the last few years noculated themselves or other
persons with bacilh from diseased CATTLE and have
succeeded in developing the preliminary symptoms of
tuberculosis. That is kind of experiment which is
not to be recommended, and it has not been under
taken by men of special note. However, enough has
thus been accomplished perceptby to strengthen the
case against Koch
The conclusions reached by the British royal
and the majority Of other experts who
have studied the subject have profound significance
for people who use much milk. They point to the
danger that this necessary article Of food may oc
breed disease among consumers of it. In

it is asserted that at the present time from 25 to 80
per cent of the milch cows in England are affected
With tuberculosis. When samples of milk are taken
1t random in London, Liverpool, Manchester and
'ther places it is noticed that great differences exist
n the quality of the specimens, but that from to
2 per cent Of the milk from the country contains
'erms OF tuberculosis in greater or less abundance
Sometimes the number is small, but it has not yet
een possible to say exactly where the minimum limit

gs or injected into their veins it frequently though
lot invariably, communicates the disease Hence the
'nly thoroughly wise course to pursue is to make
ure that the milk publicly sold contains no tuber
ulous bacilli at all In large cities protection is

Editor independent: The arguments
you have presented against further
fusion with the democrats are unan-
Swerable. Parker-Cleveland democ-
racy is not fusible with populiSm.
They have no aims in common except
the Offices. For us to sacrifice prin-
ciples in the hope of capturing the
offices will defeat and destroy our
party.
II we carry the state by fusion with
Parkerism, still we lose. A fusion leg
islature is helpless, useless body, in
capable OF enacting single radical
reform into law. What we need is a
populist legislature, led by fearless
men who are devoted to radical meas
ures, men who are not afraid to fight
for the reduction of railroad rates; for
radical amendments to the revenue
laws in the interest of the people; men
who can not be bought by railroad
passes; men who will make a fight
for direct legislation and thus kill the
lobby and take the hand of the rail-
roads off the legislature
Ii we can not get such men this year
we can afford to wait and get them
next time. To get them we must
build a party SO devoted to principle
that no man can secure nomination
for state or legislative Office unless
he is tried and true and known to be
unpurchaseable and absolutely loyal to
the great reforms we advocate.
Office IS not the goal of the true re-
former. His aim is to build a party
that will carry out the reforms he be-
lieyes in. Fusion with a spoils party
defeats his aims.
Fusion in our next state conven-
ton with the Parker democracy means
the end Of the populist party in Ne
braska. Then who will be left to bat
| tie of populism?
