A Rin Walt HUNT

The largest wolf hunt ever pulled
of In Mcpherson county, Kan, was
held recently south Of Window, says
the Topeka Capital. At the appointed
time over 1000 men were in line and
surrounded sixteen sections OF land,
the tract being four miles square, and
all moved toward the center. Wolves
and jack rabbits were started up. and
when the men finally came together In
the center there were thirteen wolves.
Those with shotguns began shooting
them. and then the dogs were turned
on them During the fight six out OF
the thirteen wolves escaped. and aftsr
the fight was over there were seven
dead wolves. There are a great many
wolves left yet In the same tsrrtoEy,
and another hunt Is planned.

The Scranton Epidemic.

1t has been determined that the Scran-
ton, Pa. epidemic of typhoid fever is at
trlbutable to the water supply. A belated
examination Of the sources of the supply
has disclosed a shocking condition. The
carcasses of dead animals were found In
ponds which drained into the reservoir, and
in some cases seepage from the sewers con-
nected with hotels was detected. The won
der Is not that the city has in this out
break registered over a thousand cases,
with more than seventy deaths. but that
the sickness has not been more general
Twenty one days ago orders were given for
the boiling of all drinking water and also
all water used in hotels and restauran ts
for the washing of dishes. it being then re-
garded probable that the water was the
source of the infection. The effect of this
move has now appeared in a rapid diminu-
ton of the new cases. Yesterday only
eleven new reports were fled as against
twenty the day before, showing plainly that
the boiling is a preventive, SO far as the
drinking water is concerned.
How a city of the size of Scranton can
continue for years to take its drinking
water from unmatched and unprotected
sources is a mystery in these days of high
ly developed sanitary science So much
ing this danger that continued disregard of
the plain requirements of the public health
is criminal Carelessness. Our communities
are learning slowly, at frightful cost, that
typhoid is preventable disease and that
the measures of prevention are available to
any city that will seek and apply them
The truth is we have outgrown our mu-
nicipal equipments in many places Our
mistakes and laxity and ignorance have
cost us dear. Hundreds OF thousands of
lives have been sacrificed during a few
years to this fault. since science has dis
closed the truth about typhoid and pro-
vided the means for it's prevention. There
Is no excuse for ignorance. and the city that
is suddenly aroused to It's danger by an out
break of fever and then finds that its water
supply is polluted stands convicted of an
outrageous neglect OF one of the first duties
OF government.

wrecks occur. the fault lies in the engineers
ignoring them. This raises another ques-
ton: Why should engineer deliberately
run past a red light that is set as warn
ing of danger ahead when his own life. as
well as those of his passengers. Is inperiled
thereby? Is there some reason that has not
yet appeared to account for this anomaly
A railroad engineer is presumably as
highly appreciative of his own life as any
other man. He usually has a family depend
ent upon him. He is, rule, sober,
steady, intelligent man, conscientious and
devoted to his duty. He knows the rules
Of the road and the laws of safety He
understands that the block signal system is
in these days of railroad congestion. and
high speed his only protection from death.
There must be some strong force to i'm
pell a man of this type to risk death or, IL
he should escape that fate. to incur the
awful responsibility Of causing the death Of
other people. What is that force?
Is there some mysterious "unwritten law
of railroad operation that puts a premium
upon dangerous speeding, or block crowd,
ing. switch stealing? Is the engineer
rated at headquarters according to his nerve
or his good luck In bringing trains through
on time regardless of signals?
There is a serious hiatus in this matter.
On the one hand we have the book of rules
and the block system and on the other
hand we have these frequent horrors which
are blamed on engineers. 1t Is contrary to
all ideas of normal human nature to be-
lieve that a railroad engineer deliberately
risks his own life and those of his charges
for no practical or useful end whatever.
The only remaining suggestion is that
after a time the locomotive engineer be-
comes abnormal In his view of his RESPONSE
bility, and grows careless and Indifferent,
that he is afflicted with speed mania and
a love of danger. If this is true the re-
sponsiblity reverts to the railroad COM
panies for not keeping closer watch over
their men and insuring the maintenance
of high standard
This whole subject demands investigation
and until 1t is thoroughly ventilated and
the "unwritten law idea is either explod-
ed or verified and proper remedies are ap-
piled to the evils disclosed there will be
no public confidence in the competence Of
our American railway managers.

Why Do Engineers Ignore Signals?

'The block signal system is perfect pro-
lection to passengers If engineers obey
rules and signals" This is one of the COM
monest statements to be heard in the
mouths of railroad officials whenever testi-
mony Is taken after a disaster. 1t has al

II yesterday before the interstate commerce
commission. 1t is in short. the standing
defense of the railroads.
This proposition Immediately raises the
question. Why do engineers so frequently
run past signals? Are the signals often OBJ
secured by smoke and fog so that they can
not be seen? Or do the engineers see them
and deliberately ignore them?
II the red signal is not sufficiently power
full to penetrate smoke and fog at a safe
distance from a station the fault lies in the
equipment. and the responsibility rests upon
the railroad company. Let 1t be assumed,
however for the present that the signals
are sufficient in all weather conditions. and

Chairman Cortelyou's Successor.

The prospective early retirement of Mr..
Cortelyou from the craftsmanship of the re-
publican national committee yields some
interesting gossip on the subject of the
succession. A hasty reader might think the
| place one of overshadowing Importance,
| and conclude that all the powers of the
party are at work respecting It.
But that Is a mistake. Were the new
man to come in tomorrow he would have
only about eighteen months to serve, and
In that time next to nothing to do. The
committee will hold no meeting for twelve
months. and will meet then only for the
purpose of naming the place and the day
for the national convention. When that
matter has been decided the committee will
retire into it's shell again. and emerge in
an unimpressive and uninfluential way at
the convention where it gives up the ghost
Then a new committee comes into exist
ence, new chairman is chosen, and both
chairman and committee begin to fill, and
for several months do fill, real bill.
But the chairman at that time Is not the
committees, but the candidates. choice.
Not only is the candidate consulted, but his
wishes are obeyed. Ordinarily he alone
makes the choice, and of course he turns to
his abest lieutenant. whose methods he
understands and who understands his
methods. This did not happen two years
ago. for the reason that Judge Parker had
no intimates outside of New York, and it
was not considered advisable to put a New
Yorker openly in charge of the campaign.
So Mr.. Taggart was taken, and a New
York squad appointed to take charge of
him.
We may therefore that this national
craftsmanship need not at this time keep
anybody awake of nights. The case is
similar to that of hare soup. First catch
your hare. Before the man to conduct the
next republican campaign is chosen the
party's presidential candidate must be-
Everything depends upon him. A For
aker lieutenant would not fit a Fairbanks
campaign, nor a Fairbanks lieutenant
Foraker campaign. And SO on. If Gov.
Hughes should come to the front the chair
man may be new to national life as the
candidate. He would probably be a New
Yorker, familiar with eastern and middle
state conditions.
Neither chairmen nor committees make
candidates. The boot is on the other leg
If one cares to speculate with profit about
the manager Of the next republican cam
pagn he should study the field of presf-
dental aspirants and appraise the men
most prominent in booming favorites And
even in that Is risk. For the nomination of
a dark horse would upset all such calcu-
lations.
