ator was not demanded.

Some members of the Lower
House have been severely arrain
ed in court charged with seriou:
offenses, while important dis.
closures concerning many others
have been made yet there is ~Rl
demand that any of these men
surrender the commission they
hold from the people.
What does this signify? Does
it show that we are careful of our
business institutions and colleges
that we insist that any one con-
nected with those institutions
shall resign on the face of charges
affecting his integrity while we
do not have the same concern
for the public service ?
Can the people afford to have
a lower standard for the public
official than they have for the
business director or the college
trustee?

ImDOrtanf Decision.

Judgment was given against
Miss Cypthia Ferguson, who had
sued the Southern Railway for
S45 damages, because a weeks
delay of her trunk deprived her
of her party dresses and thus de-
stroyed much Of the pleasure OF
a visit recently made by her to
Paris, KY. Her testimony was
to the effect that she had recelv-
ed a number of invitations to en-
tertainments while at Paris, es-
pecially during the first week OF
her stay there. However, she
was unable to accept them, be-
csuse she could not go properly
gowned on account of the absence
of her trunk. Edward Hum
phrey, representing the railroad,
argued that it would be impossl-
bile for a young lady toput money
value upon social pleasures and
thus estimate the amount of DAM
age she may have sustained be-
cause she could not take part
in them. He showed further
that the delay in the livery of
the trunk was not caused by any
negligence on the part Of the
Southern. For this reason judg-
ment went against the plaintiff.

Clear up the Senate.

A newspaper dispatch says,
demands are made that Chaun-
cy M. Depew resign as director
of the Equitable Life. Assurance
Society. 1t is also said that the
demand will be made that Mr..
Depew resign as trustee Of Yale
University, and recent disclosures
may affect the Senator's resolu-
tions with other institutions.
Has any one ever heard of a
demand being made that Mr..
Depew resign as United States
Senator ?
Is it not strange that a man
who has been guilty of such Of
fense that his resignation as di-
rector of an insurance society as
we'll as his resignation as trustee
of a college, is demanded, should
he be permitted to continue as a
member of the United States
Senate, without even a protest
from the people whom he presum-
ed to represent?
Senator Burton of Kansas was

In an interview in Louisville,
Hon. William Jennings Bryan
said: There is very evident
growth of democratic sentiment
throughout the country, as shown
by the fact that the Republicans
who are winning popular favor
are doing so by advocacy of Dem
ocratic principles. LaFollette
made his splendid fight on the
primary plan and railroad regula-
ton, both of which are democrat
ic principles. Roosevelt's arbi-
tration of the coal strike and the
Rate Regulation Bill are both di-
rectly in line with democratic
tenets and all the elements of his
popularity prove the same thing.
From which this conclusion may
be drawn: That Democrats need
not be ashamed Of democracy
since it is so popular with Repub-
licans." Mr.. Bryan came to
Louisville to deliver a lecture to
the Glenwood Chautauqua, and
was given a great ovation by the
people regardless of party affilia-
ton.

Whaf'CauSeS Yellow Fever.

What Causes Yellow Fever.
The quarantines at Galveston,
New Orleans and Mobile, had up
to Wednesday of last week, been
conducted strictly on commercial
instead of public health, lines. A
hot struggle has been waged
the fruit-trade from the tropics.
New Orleons has been losing to
Mobile it's hold on this particular
line of commerce, and both cities
have been allowing fruit-ships to
rush through quarantines with
the least possible delay. 1t was
the fruit trade not the health of
the people, that was looked after
and New Orleans caught the few
er germs through this unseemly
and unsafe static. The first
case appearing in that city was
developed on a tropical fruit lin
er.
The remedy lies in placing the
quarantine stations on the gulf
coast under federal control, This
has been done all along the South
| Atlantic coast. For commercial
reasons fruit trade reasons
Alabama, Louisiana and Texas
have refused to do away with
state or municipal control. 1t is
probable, however, that Louisi-
ana will turn the situation over
to the federal government this
week.
If federal management of quar-
antine stations along all the gulf
coast was conceded, there would
be no more yellow fever in the
United States. The adopted the
ory now is that, to prevent yell
low fevor, or stamp it out, it is
only necessary to kill, or keep off
by netting, the mosquito, which
is adjudged the sole medium of
transmission for the disease. Un-
der a commercial quarantine a
quarantine looking to dollars
and cents and not to health,
is not enforced at all until the
last moment-a whole section be-
comes infected before it is ac-
knowledged that there is even a
single case of yellow fever on
hands. There is said to be no
doubt that the present epidemic
has been prevailing in New Or
leans for three months.
The cause of yellow fever,
therefore is love for the almighty
dollar commercialism. Its pre-
ventiOn is to turn the whole mat
ter over to federal government
which will look after human life
regardless of all effect on dollars
! and cents-which latter is mere
ly a plain, every day definition of
cOmmercialism.

1t is the easiest thing in the world to
criticise and abuse a board of super
visors, but if the people who do this
could watch the board through just one
season, they would never do it again.
Every day the members of the board are
placed right square up against propo-
sitions where they must do either right
or wrong with the dividing line so small
and fine that it is hard to see. And
when they do see it, there is the letter
of law preventing them from doing just
as they would, and often the circum-
stances which have gone before have a
tendency to cloud the line till it cannot
be taken into consideration. Their
comes the time when men are men
They must weight every particle of the
| evidence, calculate every inch of tho
ground they cover, observed the Code
and the law of common sense and still
do their duty. 1t is hard matter to be
member of the board and keep the
record straight enough to avoid crit
cism. Any man who has had experience
in dealing with the board knows thi
to be true. Then hold back your crit
cism and unkind words for these publi
servants.
