NEW YORK, July 29.-George F.
Kunz, the gem expert, who is also en
authority on radium, says he prefers
to learn more details of Herr Erfeurt'
discovery before expressing an opinion
upon ii.
He says that to combine pure radium
with other substances which would
thereafter give of continued radio-ac-
ttVity, although in much lesser degree
than the radium bromide in pure form,
was not new, and mad been accomplished
here in a number of combinations. but
he very much doubted If there had been
any discovery of an imitation Tadium

Futile Attempts.

Mr.. Kunz said that attempts had been
made to compound radium with liquids
so that 1t could be used in medicine in
the form Of subcutaneous injections or
otherwise with varying success.
'I always doubt radium discoveries
until the details are plainly given,' said
Mr. kuEZ. 1T is quite possible that an
important discovery has been made, but
an imitation radium is hardly a proba-
bility"

Iast week,s issne Of the WAC.

Last weeks issue OF the Wag-
ner Leader contained resume
of the so called county seat scrap,
or bill, which was published In
full in the columns of this paper
of last week. It lays the blame
directly to JosephL;aasay, an at
torney at Geddes, and Jasper
Newton. a member of the legis-
lature from this county, and after
charging them personally with
being all but honest proceeds TO
hold them up before the republi.
cans of the east end of the
county in a way that would lead
one to believe that the bill was TO
be blamed entirely upon the re-
publican party. After careful
canvass IF those who We're
directly interested in it we are
of the opinion that If there was
any politics in it, it should be
charged to the democrats; for we
find that States Attorney Harry
James and County Commissioners
James Campbell were at Pierre
in the interest of the bill. Both
are democratic office holders. As
another reason we refer 10 the IS
sue of the Geddes Record of this
week (March 2nd) published by
johnson Bros, in which they
copy the bill and argue for IFS
merits. We are not arguing for
the merits OF the bill, but do OBJ
iect to having its responsibility
unloaded upon the republican
party, but rather upon the indi-
viduals who are responsible for
it regardless of party affiliation.
