secretary.
The committee on credentials re-
ported all counties represented ex-

being called the votes stood, Reeves
8, Day E. Mr.. Day moved that the
nomination of Mr.. Reeves be made
unanimous which was done.
y Mr.. Reeves was called on for a
speech in which he thanked the con-
vention for the honor and stated
that he would rot make a political
speech during the campaign, as he
thought the office of judge should be
above politics. He also stated that
he had not ridden on a pass for ten
years and that if elected he would
not accept a railroad pass but would
pay his own railroad fare.
Mr. Day was then called and said
he and his friends would support
Mr.. Reeves and that he would make
an excellent judge.

PARKER ON HEARST.

In Difference TO the prOyerb that prophet is
not without honor save in his own country,
ex-Judge Parker kept within his own breast
the political wisdom which did not seem to
be In great demand here until he reached Utica
in the course Of his travels, and then he talked.
No pent up Utica could contract his powers,
and his views are now sent abroad to the coull-
try and greatly welcomed even here, where no
body thought of securing them, when they could
probably have been had for the asking.
The Parker proclamation contains large as
sOFtment of complimentary mentions OF Varl-
Gus possible and impossible Democratic candi-
dates for Governor. Judge Parker is catholic
in his tastes. He is almost eveTybody's friend.
Ex-Justice Herrick, Mr.. Stanchfeld, e1-Mayor
Osborne OF Auburn Mfr. Carlisle, OF water
town; Mr. William Church Osborne, Mr. shep-
ard, Justice GaynOr, Mr.. Grout Mr. LttletOn,
Mr. NIburn, Mr.. JerOme-any one of them, If
nominated, would receive an enthusiastic let
ter Of congratuIation from Judge Parker and
could flatter himself that he was the first choice
of the apostle OF safety and sanity. And if
there are any dark horses unmenuoned in this
complimentary list, they, too, may be sure OF
an amiable reception.
The only exception is Mr. Hearst Judge
Parker would not dream Of being so rude as TO
say anything unkind of Mr.. Hearst, though Mr..
Hearst has said a great many unkind things
or Judge Phfkef. he MI
Hearst with perfect courtesy. He reminds Mr..
Hearst Of his announced intention TO accept the
nomination Of the Independence League, make
a campaign on its platform and refuse all deal
ing and bargaining with the leaders of any po-
litical machine. Therefore he argues that Mr..
Hearst cannot want and cannot accept Dem
Ocratic nomination. He suggests that present
talk OF efforts to secure that nomination for
him must be credited TO OveFZealOus friends,
and refuses to believe that "a Democratic con-
"ventiOn will ever be made up Of delegates so
absolutely pusiIlanimOus as to surrender to
zone demanding that the party deliver up to
him the honor and power he cOvets or suf-
"fer defeat"
1t is a rather piercing question which Judge
Parker thus raises for Mr. Hearst. Is he
Democrat, or is he not? Is he going into the
convention to abide by it's decision and sup
port its candidates? If so. what is the indie
pendence League doing? On the other hand, is
he really standing for his independent princi-
pies and bound to run against both parties as
he did last year? If SO, what mean his organ
lied efforts TO capture the rural conventions
his intriguing with Charles F. Murphy and the
sudden tenderness Of his newspapers for the
man whom a little time ago they were describ-
ing as an archbOss and robber? The spectacle
Of a man denOuncing the Democratic Organiza-
ton in one breath and asking a nomination
from it In another is something new I'm poll
ties It's inconsistency can hardly appeal more
strongly to Judge Parker than it must TO Mr..
Hearsts radical friends, who hailed him a
candidate of protest only to find him an in
triguer for place.

PROJECTION AGAINST CANCER

The announcement relative to cancer which
now comes from London is more significant
than many stories Of a similar character which
have been told OF late years. More than one
investigator has avowed his belief that this
formidable ana mysterious disorder was trans
missible from one person TO another. Support
was thus lent to the suppositiOn that the dis
ease had specific germ. Hitherto, however
the men whose inquiries were promoted by the
Imperial Cancer Research Fund have been
skeptcal on both OF these points,, as well as
in regard To the possibility OF q cure Now
their attitude is somewhat changed. They de-
scribe a number Of experiments with mIco
which are Ineligible only on the assumption
that cancer can be communicated from one ami
NAL to another. The opinion Of the experts
who make this statement does not OF course
finally settle the question, but it certainly
strengthens the case for the theory involved
These investigators have reached another con-
clusiOn which is OF rather greater Importance
than the one just mentioned. They find that
they can prevent the development of cancer I'm
healthy animals 10y inoculatfon with some kind
OF serum. Having protected a mouse In this
manner, they declare that injections Of its body
huids into other mice will retard the growth

person can be cured To avert SMALLPOX by

New-York tribune., 1906-07-29

cialists who claim that they can restore VIC
tins of cancer to health have not yet been VIM
dicated. Still, the discovery OF a way 70 Sc
cure immunity might lead TO the discovery or
an effective remedy. and the outlook for lhe
latter achievement is certainly no worse thah
t was few years ago.
IL q really efficient and harmless system OK
inoculation TO prevent cancer were ever deyel-
oped. the general public might at hrsf regard
It with indifference, If not with repugnanca.
good many intelligent persons today OBJECT
to vaccination, and yet smallpox Is more TO
be dreaded than cancer. IL il does not cause
a heavier mortality, it is more rapid IN ITS
progress. and where the local health boards
are careless smallpox not infrequently becomes
epidemic Nevertheless, the medical profession
would undoubtedly welcome the new safeguard
Physicians realize more keenly than do the ma
jority OF even we'll informed persons how great
is the danger from cancer. Statistics show that
IL is on the increase in bath Europe and por-
tions OF the United States. If its contagious
character should be demonstrated, physicians
would earnestly advise the employment OF every
promising safeguard. We should not be sur
prised IL within a few years preventive lnoeu'
Iation became much more common than II Is
to-day, and were employed as a defence against
many maladies besides smallpox.
