Socialists in Germany received a
singing rebuke at the general cleo
tion yesterday, and the government
was sustained, as all governments
will be sustained by patriotic citi-
zens. when it comes to a question of
choosing between a vigorous ma
tional policy and permitting a back
ward step. that will be humiliating.
The German emperor proved the
quality of his statesmansnip by APP
pealing to the country in this crisis
more than by any other public act
of his. Socialistic principles as a
moral force governing the attitude of
individuals, and thereby influencing
governments for righteousness, is
one thing. and retroactive socialism,
which would palsy the hand OF a ma
ton is another, and this is a lesson
Socialists and other political reform
ers would do well to cogitate.

MOUNTAIN PEAKS (.
OF CHRISTIANITY
CONTINUED from Third Page,

Pixies Peak, snow crowned, could be
seen. Out to the west Gray's Peak,
the tallest of all of these sentinels,
keeping guard over the vastness of
the mountain solitude, rose majestic
to the view. Eastward the foothills
seemed TO crouch at the feet of the
mighty mountain range and then
the brown plain seemed to roll away
like a mighty sea, broken into bill
lows, and then the far off mists set
tiled to mark the limit of human VI
sion, and hide the rest. AS the even
ing stole on us the shadows crept
out over the plain like scouts of the
night, and then in the east the stars
came out like great lamps lighted by
unseen han Is; while in the west the
sunshine fingered as a herald prom
Using another day
Then came night, and then the
morning dawned, beautiful, in her
gauze of cloud, overhanging ner robe
of ever changing tints of light. and
then-well the soul became lost in
the mountain view, and rose to an
other mountain unseen by human
eyes. and in the sunrise of glorious
hope worsnipped God in ecstacy and
Joy of the mountain view. Thous-

Vigorous Life.


ca Health is robust on the
mountain. How straining and weak
ening is the valley life with its ma
laria; its strained nerves, aching
muscles, and disturbed temper, and
in religion it has its fogs of doubt,
its dews of sorrow, and disappoint-
ment. Elijah down in the valley was
gloomy. Respondent, ana weak, but
God sent him up into the mountain
and 1t made him strong again, and
he went his way to duty and peace.
How many like Elijah are lying I'M
der the juniper bush worn, wearied,
and cast down. They are not bad, but
are sick at heart, and gloomy in
view as was the great prophet. How
well they would feel, how full of
hope would they be, II they would
only go up Into the high mountain
and catch a broader view of the in
fluence and power of the gospel of
salvation.
The gloomy prophets of evil, down
in the valley, complain that the
world is growing worse, and that
the church is less forceful, would
see from the mountain the world
growing tenderer, and more loving
in ministry, while physical. mental
and moral agencies are being multi

der the lifting influence or the Christ
The church is widening her area of

There is something appealingly
business like in the announcement
that Engineer Stevens will have en-
tire charge of the Panama canal OPP
erations hereafter. The end of the
civil regime as of paramount import
ance is over. Theodore Shonts has
shown that yellow fever mas
been eradicated. towns have
been built, the railroad
line put in shape. the machinery
made ready and all the prellminaries
to such gigantic undertaking COM
pleted. In such a work preparation
is as necessary as the actual digging
of the canal, and, Of course, must
come first. Now the work is the kind
for skilled engineer with executive
ability. It is up TO Mr.. Stevens to
prove himself. They're of at Pana-
ma.

EPIDEMIC M1uK.BoRNE.

Immense practical Importance, as
well as considerable scientific value
attaches to the discovery of the Evan.
ston health authorities with regard
to the probable origin Of the scarlet
fever epidemic. 1t seems that Genoa
Junction and vicinity, whence car
loads of milk nave been shipped to
Chicago and Evanston, have been
suffering from a similar epidemic
and that among the sufferers from
the disease were drivers and other
employees Of a milk company.
It is charged that there has been
criminal carelessness" somewhere,
though the milk company is not
wholly to blame" according to
Health Officer Cruden. "as it I'M
doubtedly received milk from sources
where the disease prevailed without
knowing Il.
At any rate, 1t is now regarded as
highly probable that our epidemic is
OF the milk-borne kind. The meas
ures henceforth to be taken can be
more direct, decisive and purposeful.
Scientifically the discovery is import
ant for the reason that a complete
investigation of the facts should fur
nish new light on the general ques-
ton OF milk as an agency in the
dissemination OF scarlet fever
The literature on the subject, as a
recent exec mt summary and analy-
sis by DR.. Alice Hamilton in The
American Journal of the Medical
Sciences shows, is suggestive andfull,
but scarcely conclusive. Many reports
are based on insufficient evidence, or
on a theory generally believed to be
erroneous namely, That a certain
disease in cows is capable of causing
scarlet fever in human beings. In
England the physicians and health
officers too readily attribute any To-
cal epidemic of scarlatina to contain
mated milk, and their reports often
ignore the proper rules OF evidence.
In continental Europe the physicians
are more critical but the view That
infection can be and mas been con-
yeyed through milk-which is a
good culture medium for the scarla-
tina virus-is generally accepted. In
this country there are many who
still question the fact itself.
The conclusion reached by DR..
Hamilton is that a fair number OF
reports of milk-borne outbreaks OF
scarlet fever are "above criticism"
and apparently prove" that milk els
the most frequent agent of indirect
infection in this disease"
II the milk supplied from Genoa
and vicinity was exposed to
the contagion OF scarlet fever, the
most important feature or condition
OF a milk-borne epidemic of scarla-
tina is present. and the case should
be thoroughly studied for the imme-
date and iniirect the iocaI and gem
eral, bcnefiss such an inquiry would

Conditions are shaping themselves
for the Paducah board Of health to
take some drastic action in regard
to sanitation about Paducah, and
the words of the board are fair
enough. Now for action. Members of
the board should not be discouraged
in the matter of garbage disposal.
An lncinerating plant is the only san
itary and safe method of disposing of
the refuse of a large city. River
towns have grown too dependent on
the rivers. They use the waters to
drink and they use the waters to
carry away their refuse. The situa-
tion at the foot of Clay street and
the vicinity of Riverside hospital is
an object lesson in the practice of
getting rid of things but dumping
them in the nearest body of water.
"Out o sight, out of mind" is an
adage, but one not meant for our
guidance. 1t is more of a commenta-
ny on a human weakness; and out of
sight and out of mind do not always
mean out of smelling distance and
out of danger.

River Stages.

With only one-tenth rise in the
| last "a hours, rivermen are chang
ing their expressions from despair to
hopefulness. The prospect of laid up
boats getting back to business is in
jecting some ginger into the atmos-
phere of the wharf. The rise from
Saturday morning to Monday morn
ing was OF the stage being at ASH.
Tom Kelly, Waterman on the
steamer H. w. Buttorff, was struck
in the head by a fender on the boat
and knocked 10 feet by the blow. It
cut a deep cash in his head. While
the boat was near Dover, Tenn, a
IuoatinE tree limb lifted the fender
up suddenly, freeing it from its po-
sition and dropping It on Kelly's
head
Government Inspectors Green and
st. John finished inspecting the Kit
Carson and the boat was passed cas-
lily. The Kit Carson was coaling this
morning and will leave today for
Memphis, to tow for the Patton
Towing company. e

chael also was finished and that boat
passed.

Hatchie river last night with three
barges of logs.

1t probably will be several days
yet before the Dick Fowler will be
able to run safely under the Cairo
bridge. With the Lee liners out,
there is no packet in the Cairo trade,
except as far as Metropolis, which is
made daily by the George Cowling.
When the Clyde gets off the ways,
practically a new steamer will have
been built. The cabin is the only part
that will not be rebuilt The uncer-
tain winter weather will delay the
work, but with the Memphis no in
convenience to the Tennessee river
trade will result.
Dan, the beautiful big yellow cat
at the wnarfboat, died Friday night
from what might be termed mono
food. Dan ate little else than rats
and the single diet made him sick.
He was several years old, and was
around the wharf when the, old
wnarfboat was there. Dan frequent
ly made trips on the steamers but
always came back.
The Margaret came in from the
Tennessee river today with tow for
the Ayer-Lord Tie company.
The Martha Hennen will leave this
week for Cincinnati with tow of

Defense of Thaw.
Harry Thaw's defense for the kill
ing of Stanford White depends on a
tiny note which the young Pittsburg-
er is said to have intercepted while
1t was being passed by the architect
to Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw at the
Cafe Martin, four hours before the
shooting in Madison Square roof gar
den.
Witqnesses for the defense will
state that Harry Tnaw learned
through this note that Stanford
White was still seeking to renew his
relationship with Evelyn, despite a
pledge that ne would not force his
attentions on the girl any more. 1t
will be developed that Thaw had ex-
acted a promise from White not to
annoy her with his attention and his
counsel will endeavor to snow that
when Thaw learned OF Whites du-
plicity he became filled with an all
consuming desire to do away with
the man who, in his opinion, was
seeking out his wife and narassing
her with his advances. Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw, on taking the witness
stand in her husbands defense, will
testify to all of her relationship with
White and events which LED up to
the shooting
Pittsburg alienists have been re-
tanned in the Thaw case and are
awaiting the word to come to New
York to testify that the young mil
lionaire was, and has been for some
time, subject to fits OF temporary in
sanity, accordinS to kilograms from

been consulted in the case, and his
testimony is considered as showing
conclusively the mental condition OF
