SENATOR cuLLom AND THE RATE BILL.

Senator Culom's sickness. which
keeps him in the south and away from
WASHINGTON, is jeopardizing the sue
cess of the Dolliver- Hepburn rate bill
in the senate committee. His absence
has been the signal for strong and
concerted attempt to get court review
clause into the bill, and thus nullify
it, effect.
1t is gratifying and encouraging to
know that Dolliver, Clapp and the
president are standing four square to
these assaults. There will be no back
down nor acceptance of the court re-
view amendment plan to devitalize
the bill. Popular opinion in Iowa is
with Birdsall and Conner in their ex-
pressed belief that the court review
feature is intended to kill the effect
OF the bill.
What pity that the weakness of ex-
treme age makes Senator Cullom an
easy prey to sickness and renders great
caution necessary if he is to regain
sufficient strength to continue in Of
fee. The venerable senator from Illi-
nois is nearly II years old, an age
when the burdens of a strenuous COM
mitteeship are not unlikely to carry
him beyond his strength and render
him incapable in crisis such as now
presents itself. Were Senator Cullom
twenty five years younger the rate bill
would be safe in committee. At sew
enty-seven his senile weakness puts the
will Of the people in danger of defeat

couRreslEs WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

Carroll Wright, general solicitor for
the Rock Island railway in Iowa, APP.
peared before the senate railroad COM
mittee last week and argued that the
railroad pass given to public official
was harmless courtesy, defensible in
every way. He enumerated the gov
errors from Kirkwood down stating
that all had ridden on passes and
that none had been influenced in their
official acts by the passes received.
Carroll Wright is the man who ap-
peared in Governor Cummins office
and demanded that the governor sign
the Molsl,erry bill to New Jerseyize
Iowa, even tho the governor believed
that the bill was ininaical to good pub
lie policy. When the governor asked
him if he thought he ought to sign
that bill when he considered it wrong
to do so, Carroll Wright replied II
certainly do; this is where you can re-
attitude toward his former law partner
and friend whom he had aided in Sc
curing a nomination, what reason have
we to believe that other officers, total
strangers to him, receiving passes as
courtesy from him, would not be con-,
fronted with demand to repay me"
What is there about an empty, mean
lngless courtesy that causes a railway
attorney to lobby against a dill which
will prevent him giving it? If Mr..
Wright gets nothing in return from
pass in the hands OF an official, why
does he take the trouble to go before
the senate committee and plead for the
privilege of giving it? Surely the pass
enger department can use all the mon
ey the road can receive for fares.
II there is nothing more than a cour-
tesy in railroad pass, and Mr.. Wright
says there is not, why is it thought
desirable to allow Old Dave Palmer,
commission, to carry a pocket full in
blank. to be issued to good fellows
who have political influence? Dave
Palmer was elected railroad commits
sioner to represent the people of Iowa
in dealing with the railroads. The rail-
road commission was created for the
purpose of defending the public from
the Entertainments OF railroad corpor-
atoms, yet Dave has such direct con-
nection with the courtesy department
of certain railroads that he has been
known to offer passes unsolicited to
the boys around the state house who
wanted to run home for Christmas.
1t was reported in Des Moines not
long ago that Congressman Hull even
wrote to Palmer whenever he wanted

Uncle Sans Rule for Mixing Cement.

Uncle Sans Rule for Mixing Cement.
Cement is coming gradually into use
as Il substitute for lumber I'm the build
ing of floors, and the erection OF silo
and other farm buildings. The value
of the cement structure Will depend
to a large extent upon the proportions
in which to mix cement, sand and
gravel. The amount of cement to use
will depend upon the character of the
gravel and sand, and therefore it is
difficult to lay down any hard and fast
rule that will exactly serve in all cases.
The following is a test or method rec
commended by the United States gov
eminent for ascertaining the right pro-
portions to use, and may be found
helpful to those erecting cement struc-
lures:
Take of gravel a certain measure
and shake it down to compact IT.;
strike off the top with a straight edge;
then measure water and pour INTO
gravel until all vods are filled. The
water used will show the amount of
the mixture of cement and sand that
will be required to make proper con-
crete.
Repeat the operation. using sand in
stead of gravel, and the amount of
water absorbed by the sand will show
the amount of cement to add to the
sand. But it must be borne in mind
that the cement and sand mixed with
water will not fill the same amount
of space as before putting together
and adding water. That is, one cubic
foot of cement, and two cubic feet of
sand will not, when mixed with water.
make three cubic feet of mortar.--,lIX.

OF Interest to sheepmen.


In his report of work done by the
veterinary department at Bookings,
Director Wilson makes the following
worms in sheep.
In Bulletin rs issued by this de-
partment. in speaking of parasitic dis
cases among sheep, attention was
called in a general manner to the me-
cessity of providing fresh pasturage
over which sheep had not feed, to the
desirability of having sheep on high
sloping ground and to the avoidance
of sloughs and ponds, watering from
raised tanks. In the fall of 1908 a
small flock of sheep suffering severely
from parasitic diseases, especially
from the effects of tapeworms. We're
placed under conditions as advised
above. Every autopsy conducted at
this time showed quantities of tape

and sometimes even in the hepatic
ducts. The entire flock was treated
with copper sulphate solution as ad-
vised in Bulletin 49, the droppings be-
ing removed and pens disinfected
The flock since that time has been
carefully watched and whenever any
individual has shown any indication
of tapeworms. it has been treated
with copper sulphate. The pens have
been cleaned and disinfected at fire.

that the death rate has been reduced
to practically zero and the only sheep
that have at any time shown any evil

the original flock. In other words

in raising a flock of sheep free from
