Dangers of Powder.
With reference to the dangers in use
of explosives July 4. he called atten-
ton TO the lessening of the deaths
from lockjaw by publication of proper
manner of treating the cases. He says:
The blank cartridge is the chief
danger and a wound from same re
quires especial attention by a physi-
clan. Don't try to dress those wounds
yourself; a simple dressing is little
better than none. Attention to this
warning one year ago caused the large
reduction in lockjaw last year.
The appearance of a wound from a
blank cartridge wad is usually a small
clean-cut tear in the skin but they usu-
ally extend far beyond the point of
entrance and especially beneath the
tough skin of the hand where most of
these injuries are received. Particles
of powder and dirt are spread beneath
the skin sometimes several inches
away from the site of the wound. Thus
il is that the simple dressing is not At
all effective and the poison not
reached"

that committee is to make on the
same subject after congress assem-.

The effect of the prevailing polio y
of railroad management, is by an
elaborate system of secret rates, re-

been the one to suffer.

ACCORDING to reports James j. Hill
is organizing fight in Minnesota
and North Dakota against senators
and congressman who favor railroad
rate regulation. The particular in
dividuals against whom Hills efforts
are now directed being Senators
Nelson, of Minnesota, and Hans
brough, of North Dakota. At Wash.
iugton it is thought that Hills move
is only a small part of an organized
plan by the railroads to compass the
defeat of all republican congressman.
Little by little the opposition to the
present administration is showing
it's hand. They don't want rate reg
ulation, they don't want tariff re-
form, they don't want the Panama
canal, they don't want prosecution
of the trusts, they don't want any
thing in the interest of the people
they are anti-republican in every re-
spect, if we are allowed to take
Roosevelt and his principles as a
standard of republicanism. The
people want all these things and
will have them. They may have to
put up political fight even hotter
than that O. the early sixties, but
they will have the reforms.

A LEADING QUESTION.

The objection is often raised to
government ownership of railroads
that the operative Of the roads would
have too much to say about selecting
the state and national officers. We
would like to be informed by the
people who oppose government own
ership, on such grounds, how many
state officers or members of the leg:
islature of South Dakota have been
elected without the support of the
railroad? Brookings Individual.
