The yellow fever at points Of in
lection is kept well in hand. There
is practically no increase in new
cases from day to day and the NOR
tality rate is lower than ever in the
history Of the disease. True. an iso-
lated case breaks out occasionally in
some new place. but it is held in
check and there seems little danger
Of the country experiencing any
thing like the scourge it did in '7S.

Governor Davis, of Arkansas, is
the most erratic and arbitrary exec
utive in the Union. His lstest high
handed act is assuming control Of
the State quarantine, thereby usurp-
ing the authority of the State board
Of health. As a matter of course
the board of health did not like his
presumption and several of its MEM
bers resigned As promptly, the
Governor appointed other physi-
clans to their places, and became
boss of the situation, as he has done
in other matters that did not go ex-
actly to his whims. If Governor
Davis is not demagogue, Web
ster's dictionary does not define the
word properly.

When a town grows it gets it's i'm
pulse from the enterprise of its cit
izens. not from any outside boost
Some folks think. however. that
outsiders pounce down upon a town
and make it grow despite the dispo
sition Of its citizens. This is mis-
take. and one made too often by
property owners. The people who
own a town are the ones to build il
up. They are the ones who profit
by the increase in rentals and prop
erty values and should aid with en-.
ergy and money every effort to ad-
vance its growth. Are there any
property-owners in Aberdeen who
do not belong to the Business
League? If SO. get in line, brother,
and get there quick. lest you lose an
opportunity to benefit yourself.

Bucking Brobchos Soon be Scarce

The outlaw horse of years past.
the hero of bxpncho-bucking i'm the
South and West, is rapidly becom-
ing a thing of the past, and in ten
years will be more scarce than the
fast-dying buffalo and the old-time
cowboy, according to John Nj. Kuy
kendall, who makes speciality of
collecting the widest horses that
can be secured for bucking contests.
Ten years ago the outlaw was
as plentiful as jackrabbits, said
Mr.. Kuykendall, but / have only
been able to get about thirty real
buckers that will put up a good
fight out of $4,000 horses that |
have looked at during the last year.
The outlaw horse comes from the
poorest blooded that roams the
ranges of the West. He is GRIM
inal among horses, just as surely as
men who go wrong have bad blood
in their veins. His parents are, in
nearly every case, mustangs, and
the stock is the same as that which
roamed the plains of the West in
the early days and degenerated
through uselessness.
n carly any horse will buck, J"
he dec ~ YOU turn him loose
IL. 2A.al p.>JnIns and
then try - - himi but he will
only kick up j ~ times and then
quit. The outlaw will buck though,
after he has been ridden successful
ly, just as soon as another man gets
on his back. 1t takes years to break
him of the habit, and he is never
safe. If he ever gets a chance he
will start off bucking again and is
always dangerous.
You rarely hear of a famous
bucker now, although ten or twenty
years ago every large range had sew
eral outlaws that nobody could ride
The cowboys can ride as well as the
old time COW boys, and they are not
degenerating The breed of horse:
throughout the country is improv'
ing steadily, and this is the dealt
knell of the outlaw. 1t will take
away some of the most picturesque
Western life when they go entirely
but that is going rapidly, anyway
and horse owners will be the gain
ers.

Since the mosquito has been dis
covered to be such a dangerous in
sect. it Is not strange that whole
sale destruction Of the little music
box" has been inaugurated and
that animosity to the entire insect
world is about to result. Already
learned professors and medical men
are regarding different insects with
distrust and are experimenting with
them, ready to charge to their ac-
count the prevalence of all infectious
diseases. The probability is that in
a few years the origin and trans
mission Of many socalled contagious
diseases will be attributed to insects
and then will begin their wholesale
slaughter. This means that the in
sect theory is likely to become as
widely credited as the germ theory
has been up to this time, but it can
mean nothing but good, even if the
little creatures are not guilty As
charged. for many of them are an
nOyances and harmful to fruits,
flowers and crops. The object Of this
paragraph is neither to prosecute
nor defend gnats. butterflies. mos
quitoes, or bugs. but to suggest how
prone the human mind is to pur.
sue q theory even into the realms a
the ridiculous.

Peace in>the Far East has been
concluded and Japan has laid the
fruits OF victory on the altar of hu-
mainly. The terms Of the peace
was a surprise to all the civilized
nations Of the world and has put
the United States, with its diplo-
matte President. in the forefront OF
the peace-makers Of the ages. 1t
was Roosevelt who suggested that
Japan should waive all demands for
reimbursement Of war costs, for re-
purchase of the north half of SAX
hahn and for surrender Of interned
war ships and limitation OF naval
power. In this suggestion he was
only following a precedent set by
his own country at the conclusion
Of the war for humanity with Spain.
Be this as it may, Japan's accept
ance of Roosevelt's suggestions has
made him the strong central figure
among the diplomats Of the world.
The terms Of the treaty conceded to
Russia more than that country could
reasonably expect, considering that
she was the aggressor and the con-
quered. Japan has acted with a
magnanimity at variance with the
custom of victorious nations, and
almost unprecedented in the annals
OF history. Those familiar with the
causes that led up to the war and
who consider that Russia, with a
consciousness OF her power. contem-
plated the seizure of territory to be-
come powerful enough to dominate
the Eastern world, are disappointed
that a peace so lenient to that bru.
tai and despotic government should
have been consummated. When il
is considered that the war cost ia.
pan 81, 329 900, 900 and the lives Of
thousands of her people, it easy t.
appreciate what the Mikado country
has contributed to civilization, and
until some other country eclipse,
the record, it will be regarded as tn,
magnanimous and warlike among
the nations
