Things They Said OF Us.

Twelve months ago we launched a
newspaper in village where there
were three printing houses. and where
the newspaper business was said to be
langulshing and overdone. Naturally
there was some comment on the mat
ter, and some of the newspapers ex.
pressed opinions. People about the
community may have said things
among themselves, but it seemed to us
that most of them were from Missouri
and held us on probation. These are
some of the things the papers said, in
effect:
Trego is unloading his newspaper
plant and setting up in the Montgom-
cry building by the opera house.
We are informed that the Mackay
Telegraph man is establishing a news
paper in Blackfoot to be called the
Idaho Republican, and that he will at
tempt to run two country papers. Now
we don't believe that a man has anv
business with two newspapers. He
had better concentrate his energies on
one If he wants to succeed. 1t is high
time, however, that Blackfoot had one
good paper, and we shall be interested
to know whether this one is a credit
to the town or not.
The man who has built up the
Mackay Telegraph to a good rank
among the weekly papers of the state
has formed stock company to launch
a paper at Blackfoot, and the pros
poets for the business are very rosy.
1t is an assured fact that Blackfoot
is to have another newspaper. We
wish him the best of luck, but under
the new law a paper cannot publish
legal notices till it has run a year, and
paper that is deprived of this source
of revenue will find it pretty hard sail
ing,-at least it is our experience that
this forms one of the important ad-
juncts of our treasury.
1t is a campaign sheet, and after the
November election it will not appt ar
any more.

HISTORY is A NEW STUDY

of Recent Date.

1T seems incredible to stu
dents of the present dav that
within the last three decades only
has American history been con.
sidered of enough Importance ia
be given a place in the study
courses of our large universities.
Henhy Cabot Lodge, in the
Reader Magazine, says: "a
little more than 80 years ago 4
boy could enter Harvard college
and after four years graduate
with the highest honors without
knowing af the existence of the
Declaration of independence or
when the constitution of the Unit
ed States was framed. What was
true of Harvard was true of other
universities and colleges. Amer.
lean history was not included IN
the scheme of the higher educa-
ton. Boys entering college were
required to know something OF
the history of Greece and Rome.
but not of their own country. Dur.
ing the four years of the college
course they had an opportunity to
study the history of England and
Europe, but never to learn aught
Of the United States. This con.
dition of education was merely an
indication of an attitude of mind
then passing away, but which had
once been predominant The usu.
al opinion seems to have been dur.
ing the first half of the nineteenth
century that there was no Ameri.

from the adventures of the earli-

BLACK DEATH, RATS, FLEAs
1t Is Believed That Germs on Rodents
Are Accountable for Ter
rible Plague.

The origin and nature of the
black death, which devastated Eu.
rope during the middle ages, has
never been clear, says Golfers.
1t seems certain that the infection
was brought by the ships of GER
taintraders escaping from the Cri.
mea, where they had been at
tackled by the Tartars at a town
on the River Don. During the at.
tack the Tartars were stricken
with violent plague, which caused
great loss of life among them. In
the hope of giving the curse to the
people Of the besieged town, they
threw bodies of their dead into
the town. Their hopes were full.
filled, and the defenders were
also attacked by the plague.
These traders took to their ships
and sailed to various European
ports, Constantinople, Venice and
Genoa, leaving the black death
everywhere behind them. This
black death had certain striking
features in common with the Bonn.
pay plague of India. A careful
search of the records of Indian
history has shown that there had
been an outbreak of plague in In.
Ola just previous to the time of
the Tartar siege and the introduc-
ton of the black death into Eu.
rope. These Tartars might very
easily have taken the disease from
the people of India. If that is the
true story of the train of events.
then the black death of the middle
ages was the modern plague, a dis.
ease which we know to be caused
by a certain specific bacillus.
Efforts have been made to
learn the means by which this dis.
ease is carried, and what causes
lead to an outbreak. Certain
facts bearing on these points have
lately come to light and may lead
TO a correct knowledge of the
means of plague transmission.
Rats have the disease and rat aeas
nave been examined and found to
contain quantities of the plague
bacllll. Ordinarily the rat aeas
are not found on man. During ep.
ldemics of plague, however,
these ratfieas are found in notable
quantities on human beings. and
there is no evident reason WHY
they may not inoeulate man by
their bites. Doubtless these
things have something to do with
the spread Of the plague, although
enough is not yet known to allow
the whole chain of events to be
made out.

ficials' which appeared in The News
and Observer of December gath.
There has been no argument against
just increase of the salary Of our
judicial officers except the prevailing
low price of cotton. But for that ST.
lent argument there would have been
little opposition to the bill increasing
the salary TO sum equal TO that paid
by our sister States of equal popula-

was very high, it is now Very low. In
