CHICAGO GRAIN AND WHEAT
TEARS AS GERMICIDES

There seems TO be no limit TO the
iconoclasm OF this unitarian age. Even
the tears we shed have now been
robbed by science of their romance and
mystery and placed In the long and
constantly growing list of germictdes.
DIR. C. Limdhal, the Copenhagen corre-
spondent OF the London Lancet, has dis
covered that upon certain pernicbous bac-
terra tears exercise a destructive effect.
To weep is to give a deathblow TO staphy-
lococci, streptococci, and other dangerous
germs In tears. ~ Is asserted, there are
certain substances OF an enzyme nature
against which most kinds of bacteria can
not prevail.
While. at first sight, DIR. Lindhals dis
covery seems TO take away something
from the poetry OF life, the fact that tears
are OF practical value to our germ-beset
race shoapld tend to reconcile us TO certain
uncomfortable experiences that have been
considered hitherto not only unpleasant
but useless.
The suppression OF all outward signs
OF emotion has been n growing tendency
Of our race during the past few genera
tions Throughout that same period there
has been a marked increase In the preva-
lence OF what are now known as germ
diseases If DR.. Lndhal is right In his
premises, is II possible that the men and
women OF today are paying for what
they have gained I'm repose by an increas-
ing inability to Withstand bacteria? II
to weep Is 10 be immune from staphylo-
cocci. why not let the tears flow? A tear
stained face may not be n pleasant sight.
but II assumes new and suggestive as
peot now that we know that II Is prac-
tically germicidal.--New York Times.

SEES A LIGHT

At last one OF the interstate COM
merce commissioners has awakened TO
the fact that criminals should be in
jail. Judson c. Clements OF Georgia
has announced that IL some man prom
inent In the railroad world could be
placed behind the bars "it would do
more than anything else TO bring
about better conditions"
Mr. Clements does not hope 20 in
carcerate, all those who ought TO be
In Jail That would be too much 20
expect. He will be satisfied II only
one gets his deserts. This would act
as warning to the rest.
Mr.. Clements is to be congratulated ed
on having seen a great light. For
years this newspaper has advocated
prosecution OF lawbreakers. rich as
well as poor. Those who give rebates
are criminals. The way 10 insure re-
spect for the law is 20 apply the
penalty OF the law.
The only thing the matter with
American railways is that they have
fallen among thieves. They are being
used for gambling speculations. for
fictitious capitalization, for discrimina-
tions and for general looting OF the
public.
There are statutes 20 reach these
plunderers. and the fact that even one
commissioners believes the law should
be enforced is a distinct gain for hon.

1ST ward CAUCUS
CASE ARGUED

r Chief Justice Douglass and Justices
Dubois, Blodgett. Johnson and Park
hurst this afternoon heard the petition OF
Timothy p. Dwyer and others, who were
pchossn at the Democratic caucus held In
Ward members OF the Democratic ward
committee, for n writ OF ceriorari against

lof the city of Providence.
Though the board found no. fraud In
The caucus at which Mr.. Dwycr and his
associates were chosen yet II refused 10
give them certificates OF election as one
check list was not returned.
The question raised is whether the fall
ure to return one or more OF such check
lists to the board yitself annuls the
caucus OF the ward IN which such failure
occurs. Counsel for petitioners urged that
by the common law the supreme court
this board as an inferior tribunal on
questions OF Jurisdiction and OF law.
Chief Justice Douglas said the court had
never gone further than declaring II
would not review facts.
In their brief Messrs Doran and Thurs

n the inferior tribunal proceeds in n
summary manner and not according to
The course OF the common law and there
is no remedy by appeal or writ OF error.
then the courts will consiier other than
jurisdictional questions on certiorari
THE CHIEF CLAIM.
The main claim Is that as long as there
was no fraud shown there was no justi-
fcation for invalidating the caucus be-
cause Of the absence of the check list
used IN one district Mr.. Doran argued
today that the board OF canvassers and
registration erred In annulling valid
vote after decision and I'm deciding after
there was no evidence found OF fraud TO
disturb the result OF the ballot.
Judge Blodgett wanted to know
about the courts right TO issue such
q writ, save whore II was n jurisdic-
tional question. and he had some cases
cited to him in support OF the state
ment Of the chief justice. Then his
honor wanted 10 know about the rights
OF the petitioners. as the ward com
mittes was not q public office.
Mr.. Doran replied. You have not de-
clared II was en- office"
Judge Blodgett said he would like
20 hear argument on that point any
time Mr.. Doran was ready.
MR.. DoRAN's REPLY
Mr. Doran replied he would just as
soon treat that subject now as at any
other time. He then declared that
citizens had the right TO hold primary
meetings, and persons elected had the
right TO enjoy the offices 20 which
they were chosen at such meetings
Though the court says that ward com
mittee men are not holders or public

tions upon and declared how the
primary meetings will be conducted

the provisions OF the law Is OF sufficient

FISHERMAN LOST IN
IN FIERCE GALE OFF
BLOCK ISLAND

John Lewis, a fisherman of Province
town. Mass. who has been fishing with
the crew of the shoop Warren off the fish
ing grounds southeast OF Block Island
for the past week has been reported by
Capt Silva OF the craft as being lost. AL
though IL was rumored this morning that
the man had been picked up by fishing
smack. nothing TO confirm this statement
has arisen.
According TO Capt. Silva, Lewis was
about to look over some nets that were In
the immediate vicinity OF the vessel The
sea was choppy and running fast. but
Lewis fearlessly left the Warren and
started on his rounds OF the nets He
rowed TO the buoy of furthermost one
and was about to grasp II when the
wind, blowing hard from the northeast,
I'm a comparatively short time. whipped
the sea into foam.
In order to weDther the storm, Capt.
Silva tied two reefs in his mainsail and
took the bonnet off the jib. but the wind
was getting the better OF the seaman and
the Warren began TO rapidly drift TO the
leeward and probably went past Lewis in
his small doay In the darkness OF the
storm. After gamely fghting the storm
for five or six hours the Warren headed
around the island and with colors at half
mast put in at the New harbor.
