The Plau|uc i'll India.

In February the death in India from
the plague alone numbered 126,041,
and in January and February together,
the total was 262,567. This is no sud-
den outbreak. For years the plague
has bee claiming its victims, desolat-
ing whole provinces. The mortality,
however, has increased each year. In
1901 the plague carried off 272,OOO, in
1902 the deaths were 250,O0O and in
1909 they exceeded 100000. incubation
has been a complete failure. Also it is
unpopular. In the Punjab nineteen Of
the inoculated died Of tetanus. The
British government has appointed a
body of scientific men to investigate,
but it will be two years before any re-
port can be made. There are people
who think the money spent on durbars
and Tibetan adventures should have
been used to fight the plague.-Phila.

STIR AMONG THE PACKERS.
Bank Officials SnbDOenaed for APP
pc:rance in the Beef Trust Inquiry.
Difficult Tracing of Checks.

Chicago, April 22.-Vice Presidents
and cashiers of fcur Chicago National
banks have been ~subpoenaed by the
federal officials workin on the beef
trust" inquiry. The subpoenas called
for the production of the accounts and
records of the Aetna Trading Compa-
ny, and the S. Oppenheimer and Conf
Ipany Sausage Casing Company. The
government officials nave traced from
bank to bank and through the clearing
house checks, which were numbered
and are said to bear fictitious names.
The latest move is said to be one
of the most important yet made IN The
investigation and caused a stir among
the leading packers who are suspected
Iof having Deer directly connected with
1.-THE operations OF the Aetna Trading
company. 1t required more than two
weeks hard work on the part of sew
leral of the officials and National Bank
Examiner Starek to trace the checks,
many of which were discovered in
trunks recently seized by government
detectives.
It was found ma one of the most
complicated methods of bookkeeping
had been employed by the Aetna Trad
ing Company officials, and those OF S.
|Oppenheimer and Company. No names
appeared on any Of the books, it is sad
which indicated that the persons were
in any way connected with the pack
ing industry.

GOVERNOR .sLENN'S CRITICS.

When during the last state admin
istration some of the papers or the
state saw fit to take issue with Gov
ernor Aycock and to criticise some OF
his official actions and again when
they objected to some of the proceed
ing of the legislature during the last
session these papers were jumped en-
by the bosses and party organs who at
tempted to read them out of the party
because they would not swallow with
out making Il WY face everything that
was done in the state which had the
democratic label on it. It was treach-
cry to the party to intimate that any
thing which Governor AycOck did was
not the thing" 1t was evidence Of Il
leaning to republicanism to him that
any Legislation endorsed by the demo-
cratic bosses should not be enacted.
But some of these persons who held
up their hands in holy horror at the
audacity of certain other "sO-called'
democrats in criticising the action Of
democratic governor and democratic
legislators now when they find they
are no longer the mouthpiece and "fa-
miliar friend'' of the administration
they are quick to pick flaws in the
conduct Of the democratic governor and
they criticise him for doing what he
has a perfect right, both legally and
morally, to do.
What if Governor Glenn did go to
Washington and lay before the COM
missioner of internal revenue all the
facts in the Casper case? Did he not
have the right to do SO? Could not
Governor Glenn appear for q client in
the federal supreme court if he chose
to- do SO? and would he not have the
right to charge a fee for his services
if he saw fit to do so? Suppose Mr..
Glenn were a practicing physician in
stead of a lawyer, would any one say
he should give up his profession for
four years just because he had been
elected governor? SO long as he does
lot let the following of his practice
interfere with his duties as a state off
Cial what business is it of any one
else whether he chooses to continue
his profession or not? Do not members
of congress and state officers other
than uAv0p1nr xvlo nrn w 1@y1
tinue their professional business while
in office? 1t would not do for the gov
ernOr to appear in a criminal case in
the state our which might come be
fore him on application for pardon or
communication of sentence, but in all
h matters we do not see why he
should be compelled to give up his pro-
fessiOn for the time of his incumbency
of office. Did lot some of the men
who are criticiSing the governor accept
office without giving up their former
calling? These men who are now criti-
cising Governor Glenn should remem-
Der how they denied to others in the
party the right to object to certain ac-
tons of the preceding governor and OF
the legislature. If it was undemocratiC
to take issue with Aycock it is equally
so TO denOunce the action of the pres.
ent governor. With this class of peo-
pie it all depends on whether the acts
in question meet their approval OF
not. If they do it is undemocratic IL
others to criticise them. If they do Dot
then it is all right for these people t.
denounce them. That is the wholt
thing.
