who Eat clay.

Clay eaters are found in the West
Indies, Honduras and some Of the re-
gions round the Orlnoco.. They are not
necessarily Of any particular tribe, for
even whites have fallen victims to this
degrading and fatal habit. The habit
is contracted at as early an age as II
years, and the craving once acquired
appears to be irresistible. Confirmed
clay eaters will lie down and lick the
earth where the edible clay Is found.
They suffer from chronic dyspepsia
and cancellation; but, in spite Of the
pain and weakness, they cannot do
without the clay any more than the con-
firmed drunkard can do without his al
cohol. In some localities this clay is
whitish gray, sometimes yellowish.
pink. There appears to be lime in 1t,
and also the remains Of minute organ
isms. 1t is sometimes eaten baked and
sometimes raw.
A confirmed clay eater Will take four,
five, or even six pounds day. Water is
drunk with it At length the habit
seems to give an aversion not only to
other kinds of food, but also to alco-
holic drinks. AS soon us this stage Is
reached the eating Of clay Invariably
causes death.

The Inalienable Right to Crow.

A Pennsylvania correspondent re-
fers us to the decision in Hillegas agt.

81. where the headnotes of the Penn
sylvania court were as follows:
In the exercise of mis- prescriptive
right, a gamecock cannot be enjoined
by preliminary injunction In Ian
caster County.
Equity is without jurisdiction when
it is invoked to restrain a rooster
from growing.
The prerogatives of a chanticleer
are beyond the reach of any common
law doctrine or legislative enactment.
They are founded upon principles that
antedate hotels, and were honored
for centuries ere the commercial
traveller or ubiquitous drummer ever
monopolixed a tavern or usurped a
passenger car.
The right to crow is an inalienable
right, and must not be abridged nor
suppressed, because it is eventual, and
not perpetual.

Neither the Postoffice Department or
Republican Congress find any way to
decrease the cost of transporting the
mails by railroads, although the EVIL
dence Is overwhelming that the cost ex-
ceeds reasonable price for the service
rendered. But when it comes to the
rural route service, extraordinary econ
omy Is being observed, there being still
unexpended balance of nearly one
third of the amount appropriated by
Congress for this service for the fiscal
year. Up to March 1912 petitions
for the establishment Of rural routes
have been rejected and 3,424 petitions
are still pending, of which 294 have
been assigned for establishment. II

Congressman and Senators to see 1t Is

What Will We Get out Of 1t.

Senator Hale says plans have been
prepared to invade China and some of
the troops are already on their way
to the Philippines. He blames the
general staff of the army, but the gen.
eral staff cannot move without orders
from the Secretary of War, and he-can
only order such preparations with the
full consent of the President. Onfy
Congress can declare war, but few
heather Chinese killing missionary
can create conditions that may be
made an excuse for landing an army
that would virtually make war on the
Chinese Empire. With our army in
China we will have plenty of fighting,
and the Chinese, with Jap officers lead
ing them, will be found quite different
from the horde of Boxers before ell
countered.
What. can be gained by war with
China? We cannot expect to push our
goods down Chinese throats with bayo-
nets, or shoot yellow calico on their
backs from gatling guns. There may be
glory in 1t for President Roosevelt, but

Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1906-04-04

Two yearsago Congress left the build
ing Of the Panama Canal in the entire
control Of President Roosevelt. He
gave out characteristic announcement
that "the dirt would fly" but through
bad appointments and careless and ex-
travagant management an enormous
amount of money has been spent, with
comparatively no work done towards
completing the canal. In fact Its loca-
ton has not yet been actually decided
upon, and the President has thrown
the burden back to Congress of deciding
whether 1t shall be a sea level or lock
canal.
Congress Is wrestling with that ques-
tion, and as the experts differ on the
relative advantages there is still prac-
tically no work being accomplished.
Congress is probably quite justified In
making thorough investigation be-
fore deciding upon the type Of canal,
although the American and foreign en-
glneers called in by President Roose-
welt decided that question In favor Of
the sea level plan.
All of this shows that the Roose-
veltian plan of rushing things" does
not accomplish great undertakings, and
that the old Idea of making haste slow
" is wiser. The old adage Of more
haste less speed" was evidently never
impressed enough on President Roose-
welt III his copybook days.
