FARMERS AND 4 FARMER SCHOOL.

Illinois farmers are taking direct
interest In the state college of agri
culture and will combine to urge the
election Of western man as president
of that institution. The Springfield
News states that an organized effort
IN this direction has been started fol-
lowing the resignation of Professor
Draper and the report that he is to be
replaced by an eastern educator The
farmers will not advocate the election
Of any one man, but will urge upon the
krustees the necessity and ACCESSIBILITY
Ef selecting a friend or the agricultur-
list as head of the institution. The
Farmers organizations are urging that
the selection of an eastern man is al
most sure to bring in one hostile to the
echool of agriculture. for the simple
reason that such man would come
from section not given to farming
and stock raising, but devoted to the
classics and the higher fornls of liter
Ature, art andS science. There is hos
ftiity to agricultural colleges among
xhe eastern educators. The farmers
also contend that the new president of
this institution should come from the
Gpper Mississippi valley for the other
reason that he should be in sympathy
Mith western ways and needs

TINE FARMS AND THE lMTERuRBAH.

Some days ago the Times epubli-
nan cited instances Of advanced val
ues OF farm land as among the direct
benefits accruing to land holders along
the lines of interurban railways. Toe
instances were quoted from an address
Of President Polk, Of the Des Moines
onterurban and showed advances from
eS5 to $3.50 per acre. The Waterloo
reporter also makes note of these in
stances and supplements by instances
along the line Of the Waterloo interu.
ban line. The Reporter says:
THE case thus cited by President
Polk could be almost duplicated by
many instances along the interurban
lines in Blackhawk county. When the
dine from Waterloo to Cedar Falls was
first built many thought that there
would be little. improvement along the
route because much of the land
thru which 1t passed was rough AMI
broken in character. Since that time
land that would have then been ac-
counted dear at $40 an acre has sold
at prices ranging from 500 to $3.50
and there is every indication that the
limit OF advancing prices has not yer
been reached

AN IMMINENT DANGER.

The widespread prevalence of ty-
phoid fever offers a warning TO munic-
qualities great and small which should
not be allowed to so UNDECIDED. Ser
ious conditions are reported from var
ious cities of the country. In Iowa
Waterloo is in the grip of a deadly
epidemic, her water supply polluted
with typhoid bacilli and hundreds OF
Cases are reported from Vinton, Cedar
Rapids and various other towns. The
Cedar Rapids newspapers are advising
their readers to boil the waterand COM
planning against the sewage disposal
of cities along the upper Cedar into
that river.
There is warning to all cities in all
this There Is no town too small or too
large to take every possible precaution
against an outbreak of typhoid. 1t is
an imminent and impending danger.
Every case of the disease is the pos
sible source of a deadly epidemic. There
should be rigid inspection of milk and
water supply in every community
veloped and these sources of public
supply guarded against the pos
sibility of infection. The people must
learn that eternal vigilance is the pric 2
of immunity from typhoid
Sooner or later it is likely that sew
age disposal into small rivers lkeN the
Cedar will be forbidden by a sensi-
BILE law. 1t is one of the anomalies of
modern municipal civilization to dis
charge the poisonous waste of cities in
to the sources whence they draw their
water supply. Cedar Rapids. with
out recourse, stands in terror of the
infection flowing from the fever rid
en- city up the river. 1t is as tho the
wells Were poisoned.
There are modern means of sewage
disposal which obviate the necessity
Of making sewers of our Iowa rivers.
These cost money but they cost less
than fever epidemics. The stricken
citizens of Waterloo will have paid the
price of a modern sewage disposal
plant five times over before that city
RECEIVERS from its seourge. Five hun.
dred cases of typhoid will cost in
money alone, a quarter million paid
to nurses, physicians and undertakers.
The cheapest and most sensible sys-
TEN of sewage disposal is one that
viii not include the narrow rivers If
Iowa, and until this may be accom-
plishea, municipalities must be vigilant
and interchangeable in their own pro-
lection.
