TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOL


 B The statement made at the meeting of the Imperial Research fund, that one hundred thousan mice had been examined during the past four years draws attention to the one being made of vermin for scientific purposes.
 In this connection some particulars were obtained by Tribune represen- tative in a talk with prominent bac- teriologist.
 Mice" said the scientist. "are used in cancer experiments because that disease occurs spontaneously in them. The work in which they are used be- gan In Conephagen. It was then taken up by the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and subsequently, in Professor Ehr- lich's laboratory in Frankfort. In the ast-named place, five thousand pounds worth of mice have been used for ex- periments in sleeping sickness and can ce;.
 Certain breeders, who have a stock of cancer-infected mice, have found al- most 0 fortune in the trade, for such specimens have fancy value Mice, however, are by no means the only 'vermin' used. Rats for example, are largely employed in experiments deal ing with plague. One investigator used between nine hundred and q thousand last year. They are em- ployed to great extent ill India.
 Tt must not be supposed, however, that the knowledge derived from 'ver- min is only applied to men, It is largely used in ridding us of the pest of vermin. In South Africa, for in- stance, it was found that when there was a great deal of plague the rats which were regarded as disseminators of 1t, and had therefore to be de- stroyed. would only take a mineral poison for a certain time, If one might say such thing, they seemed to get tired of 1t.
 The only thing, then, was to find q bacterial poison for them. Now there is actually a bacterial culture known as Danysz's on the market for the de- struction. of rats. Danysz's work was originally done in tho sewers of Paris, and the rats were poisoned in large numbers. Subsequently the same method was used for killing off field voles, a pest to the farmers. Men at the Pasteur Institute were decorated for the services they had rendered in this way.
 "The plague-spreading rat Is one of the problems on which men are work ing in India row.Squirrels, likewise, spread the dreaded disease in India, and so do monkeys, but the native ven eratlon for the latter is so great that monkeys must not be ooepnly de- htroyed. Inoculated animals are, therefore, transported into the jungle and the result desired for protective purposes is achieved
 'In Australia rabbits are regarded as verrnins so that it Is considered ben eficent act to use them for experiments al purposes and to kill them off. In making these statements l may be all lowed to take advantage of the rno- ment to correct the very mistaken idea people have that experimental work ir laboratories is done on cats and dgs I believe that hardly one dog Is used ir year in Ehrllchs laboratories. - London Tribune.

How nucn?T" Other Russian radI- calls have left on record similar ophl- ions, the Justice of which Is not of so much importance as the fact that they should have such bitterly unavoidable opinions. They cannot be due simply to disappointment If Gorky's mission had proved completely successful, his views of us would not have been very different from what they are. The great majority in this country, on the other hand would have regarded him with mixed feelings with admiration as an artist and champion of liberty, and with puzzled distrust as theoret- ical anarchist.
 So the anomaly remains. Here is a country endowed with land and liberty, with democratic form of government, with freedom of speech and the press, with exemption from oppressive mili- tary burdens. In Russia, the revolu- tionaries are stalking their lives to con- quer the same blessings for the people; and yet-they don't like us. The req son may possibly be found in the pre- dominantly intellectual" nature of the Russian revolutionary movement In the new Russia which is to be, the peo- pie will enjoy not only the material advantages which we have, but also the fine flavor of culture, the idealism, which are now the possession of a comparatively small number. That culture is perfectly compatible with absolute equality, the leaders of the revolution take for granted. That in ? democratic Russia, idealism, after our own example, would disappear, they will not admit Every one will vote, but principles will not give way to in terests. The peasant and the proleta- rian are to shoulder their way into street care, cafes and halls of assem-
 bly,, but manners are to remain urbane, The mujiks will read the newspapers, but there will be no yellow press.
 They will invade the theatre, but Ibsen will reign there, and not musical com edy. An intelligent Russian revolu- tionary once privately laid down the thesis that, culturally, the Russian peasant is immeasurably the superior of the American farmer. Putting aside the mere question of competency for
 judgment in a stranger who had stud jed the American farmer in his natural habitat southeast of Union Square, soTne one asked for statement of jus; what ltlt;.ls the peasant asknow edged that were superior to our deified dci-
 dollar. The answer was. Why, they

Why Revolutionists Like Gorky Go

 There is something pathetic In the spirit In which enissaries of the Rus sian revolution have come among us, and the different spirit in which they have departed, Before sailing to Flu rope Gregory Maxine summed up his impressions of this country as follows: 'In America, where the people enjoy so much liberty, the standard of civiliza- ton and culture is on a much lower plane than in Russia. Americans know nothing of idealism. The ques- tion the American always asks is,

II illinois has just given its new law
an eminently satisfactory trial, and
this despite the fact that the Illinois
law is patiently compromise by the
manipulators with the people and in
the compromise the people get the
worst of the trading. The Illinois
law is compulsory and applies to all
parties, party being defined as an or
ganization which cast at the last Presi-
dental election at least per cent of
the whole electoral vote. There is
elaborate provision for the designation
of delegate districts by central COM
mittees. In itssfailure to turn wholly
away from delegates lies the cardinal
weakness of the whole enactment. The
machinery of the primary elections is
in the hands of the general election
officials and the elections are held
biennially on the first Tuesday in
August
A dual system of filing candidates.
is provided In the case of a candi-
date for United States Senator the
Minnesota filing method is employed
The candidate simply files with the
Secretary of State an afidavit of his
party affiliation and request that
his name be placed on the ballot.
A prerequisite to filing by a candi-
date for elective State office is a petit
tion signed by at least 1000 qualified
electors. A candidate for nomination
to Congress must produce petition
signed by at least 2 per cent of the
qualified primary voters of his district
The same provision covers filings of
candidates for legislative, county and
municipal offices.
Petitions may be signed only by
qualified electors in person Their
identity must be fully established by
addresses and each petition must be
accompanied by the affidavit of quali-
fed elector, setting forth that the sig
natures were made in his presence and
that they are the signatures of bona
fide voters and qualified electors, also
that the addresses given are correct
Filings close twenty-five days before
the general election and sample ballots
are officially prepared and published
The Minnesota partisan ballot idea pre-
walls, and while the ballots are uni
sample ballots are uniform in color
the official ballots of the different par
ties must be printed on paper of differ
ent colors or shades.
So far Illinois has adhered to the
direct primary idea and no forther.

which the boss stands to get all the
composition benefits. The voter is per-

but there is another ticket. The sec

gates elected are bound on the first
ballot only TO cast their convention
votes for the candidates who receive
majorities of the primary vote in the
election precincts they represent. At
ter that comes the delegate conven-
t1on. The underlying theory is to pre-
vent the nominaticE of minority candi-
dates The practice, if it be continued.
may reasonably be expected to result
In continued Misrepresentation of the
voters wishes. Incidentally it is
worthy of note that the elector is
called upon to vote for delegates to six
conventions. namely: State, Congress
sional, state Senatorial, sanitary dis
trict convention, municipal and county
conventions.
The voter is subject to challenge, and
may be denied the party ticket he re-
quests If within one year he has voted
at the primary of another party, or if
he has signed the petition of an inde-
pendent candidate, or of candidate
seeking nomination at the hands of an
other party
The expenses of the primary elections
are paid in the same manner as the
general election expenses. The official
canvass of the primary vote must, in
part at least be completed within
forty eight hours, for on Thursday sue
ceeding the primary election the coun-
ty conventions must be held. Should
there be a mistake in the count, or
necessity of a recount, the bene-
fciary of the mistake or possible
fraud would inevitably receive the first
ballot of the delegates from the pre-
cinct in which the error or fraud was
perpetrated, and possibly the nomina-
ton. The Senatorial conventions are
held on the second Tuesday after the
primary election, unless Senatorial
district is wholly within a single coun-
ty. when county and Senatorial con-
ventions are held simultaneously. Con-
gressionaI conventions are held on the
second Thursday and State conventions
on the third Tuesday after the primary
election--a system vastly more elab-
crate than practical. The questions
OF resolutions, platforms, etc, are
wholly in the hands of these conven-
tions. The popular vote for United
States Senator is canvassed, returned to
the Secretary of State and in due time
communicated by him to the Legisla-
ture. 1t is simply an expression of
popular opinion, in no way binding on
the Legislature, but it is expected that
the lawmakers will consider it moral
obligation. and. acting In accord with
popular expression, they will in this
instance re-elect Senator Cullom.

no see the newspaper publishers of

ITO see the newspaper publishers of
Chicago rallying to the support
of William r. Hearst's extortion
ate demands is anything but an
edifying spectacle The facts will bear
reciting. William r. Hearst and Vic
tor F. Lawson, publishers of 1-cent
afternoon newspapers formed an
agreement to advance the price of their
papers from so cents per 100 to so
cents per 100. AS this reduction cut
down the already small margin of car
riers profits to the vanishing point,
certain proportion of the carriers
exercised their undoubted rights and
declined further to handle the Amer
lean and the News. The next morn
ing-Tuesday morning-these carriers
found themselves locked out of every
morning newspaper establishment with
the exception of the Chronicle. They
were thus given to understand that
If they did not carry the Hearst and
the Lawson afternoon papers at loss,
or at least without any profit, they
could not have the morning papers to
serve to their patrons. This was and
is direct and unequivocal infraction
of the law of Illinois. 1t is all the
more fragrant and outrageous from the
fact that the lawlessness is committed
at the behest of William r. Hearst
The reign of law in Chicago is none too
complete at any time, but the city may
as well be given over absolutely to the
forces of disorder if Hearst can thus
gain the aid of three or four pro-
fessedly respectable newspapers In his
lawbreaking plans.-Chicago Chron-
icle.
Mr.. Hearst has spent years of time
and great sums of money in fooling
the people. Mr. Hughes Is unfolding
them. and with such rapidity and dead
ly effectiveness that Mr.. Hearst will
have to perform prodigies of new de-
ception to regain the lost ground. Mr.
Hughes has brought into the campaign
an issue fatal to Mr.. Hearst's reputa-
tion, as to which he must remain dumb
He is by official records convicted of
those revolving corporation practices
for which he has so mercilessly casti-
gated the trusts. His own newspaper
properties were found to be carried
on behind the shelter of devices of
Incorporation that enable him to escape
taxes and to avoid liability In damage
suits. The greedy trusts have done
nothing more revolving. When a lead
er of the people against transgressors
is himself caught redhanded in trans
gression, confidence gives place to con-
tempt and his cause collapses.-New
York Times.
Revelation of the fact that the trust
busting mad mullah Hearst is himself
the originator and beneficiary of sew
eral especially offensive and dishonest
trusts will not cause surprise among
intelligent people. Nobody
will be astonished to learn that
he operates, inter ALA, a trust of the
kind known as holding" company in
the State of New Jersey. where most of
the other preda tory trusts have or have
had their headquarters. It may be said,
incidentally. that this particular Hearst
trust is of the kind which the United
States Supreme Court expressly stigma
tized as unlawful in the case of the
Northern Securities Company. 80
