A Galloway county farmer of an
inquiring mind asks the following
questions, says the Kansas City Star:
Why does the chicken drink exactly
opposite to the horse and COW, having
to hold its head up when it swallows
a drink of water? Then not the pig
con, of the same feathered family, as
it keeps its bill immersed while drink
ing. But dog laps the water III its
mouth. This animal, moreover, never
chews it's food. while the cat, his COM
pariYn household pet, always chews
thoroughly before swallowing. How is
it that failing to masticate does not
hurt dog while in all other animals,
including man, uncheve6 food causes
dyspepsia? Why has COW cud and
why can horse shiver II lis hide to
drive away flies?

Special Cablegram to the New York
Times Co.
London, Aug. 14.-Senator Latimer
of South Carolina, who arrived in
London this morning after several
months spent on the continent as a
member Of the special immigration
commission, declares himself highly
pleased with what he has discovered
concerning the attitude Of the various
countries toward emigration to the
United States and with the reception
accorded to the commission wherever
it went.
Naturally I can not anticipate the
official report,' said Mr.. Latimer,
"but I may. say that I was particul-
arly struck by the efforts being made
at every port I visited to prevent the
shipment of undesirable persons. The
strict application Of the entrance re-
quirements, the fines imposed by the
treasury department and the cost Of
repatriating rejected applicants have
served to gtd purpose. Wherever
emigrants are embarked for the Unit
ed States I find elaborate sanitary
precautions are taken. In Italy,
France, Belgium, Holland and Ger
many, the principal ports Of all Of
which countries I visited, I found the
arrangements almost as elaborate as
at Ellis Island for sorting over pros
pective emigrants. The countries I
visited are apparently discouraging
emigration. Italy is the only excep-
ton to this rule. The result Of this is
that we are getting more than our
share Of material from southern Eu-
rope and not enough from the north.
"I found, as rule, that the clas-
ses from which emigrants are drawn
are remarkably well Informed on what
life in America is like. There was
scarcely one Of all the persons [ inter-
viewed who did not have a friend or
relative already in the United States,
and thus know all about wages, living,
etc.
"What I saw, though, tended to
disprove the old tradition that only
the best and bravest cross the seas. l
found that the best men and women
were generally satisfied and prosper
Gus under local conditions. These do
not emigrate.
"The commission was at first re-
garded with considerable suspicion in
Germany, but as soon as our object
was known every courtesy was shown
to us. Accompanied by an official in
terpreter, I visited many emigrants'
homes, and learned, as far as posi-
Bile, their motives for going, their
expectations and plans. A few days
later I saw the same em1grants at
Hamberg ready to sail. could hard
ly recognize them, they were so clean
and well dressed. A band was play
ing for them, and all were rejoic-
ing at the prospect Of the voyage.
"I do not think sufficient attention
has been paid in the United States to
regulating the destination Of these
new citizens. We can hardly expect
Hollanders to succeed as cotton grow
ers Of southern Italians to prosepr in
the rigorous North. In Lombardy [
found people ideally suited to my ma
tive South Carolina. This suggests
that many present problems could be
solved if each state had special COM
missioner Of immigration"

CONTRACT

CLING iSTHMIAN CANAL.
PRESIDENT is RESPONSIBLE
o her Firms Wanted All Bids Thrown
Out and New Proposals Asked
New Yorker Gets Backing.

Washington, d. c., Jan 28.-Fol.
lowing conference at the White
house last night 1t was officially an.
noCnced that the contract for build.
Ing the Panama canal would be
awarded to William ]. oliver, who
was Arson M. Bangs was the lowest
bidder In the recent competition, pro-
vfded that within the next ten days
he associates himself with at least
two independent contractors whose
skill and experience, combined with
his own, shall cover the entire field
of the work to be performed under
the contract.
The official announcement confirms
the Associated Press statement OF
Friday. President Roosevelt then
took the position that since Mr.. Oliver
had met all the requirements Of the
government 1t would be unjust to re.
ject his bid Of 6.75 per cent or even
to require him to submit new bid.
Powerful influences were brought to
bear on the president and Secretary
Taft to reject all bids and advertise
for new proposals but the president
insisted that Mr.. oliver should DO
given a reasonable time In which to
make a satisfactory arrangement to
substitute some other contractor or
group of contractors for Ansen M.
Bangs Of Dew York. At the White
house conference on Saturday night
the friend of the Macarthur Gillespie
syndicate argued that the contract
figure should be increased to nine per
cent and that the contract be awarded
to Oliver, Macarthur & Gillespie. This
suggestion. however, did not meet the
approval Of the New York firm, who
insisted that they could not undertake.
the work for less than 1875 per cent
of the total cost, the figure mentioned
In their original bid, it was then de-
civded to award the contract to Mr..
Oliver, provided he could make salts
factory arrangements with at least
two other financially responsible con.
tractors.

The Public and the Director.
AUCvsoM

More important than statutory re
form for the future of life insurance is
the reform of reason and moral CENT?.
ment, declares Francis G.. Lowell In
atlantic. We must come to consider
unpaid officers who give their time to
public affairs as persons making a
charitable contribution to the welfare
of the community. The corporate
members and the directors of an insur.
ance company, like the corporate mem.
bers and directors of a savings bank,
must consider themselves, and must
be considered by others, to be engaged
in work of public charity. A savings
bank, indeed, Is supposed to be re-
ceptacle for the savings of the poor,
though the supposition is not always
true; while life insurance company
is receptacle for the savings Of some
well-to-do or even rich. Charitable or
public service, however, may be rem
dered, even where some beneficiaries
are able to pay for the service. Where
the well being of the community, or OF
many of its members, requires great
service rendered alike to rich and
poor, those fitted to render 1t may be
asked TO give their labor without pay,
If, tar any reason, that is more con.
venient. This is the rule with col.
leges and Libraries, art museums and
hospitals.

That fictitious personality OF leg

That fictitious personality OF legal
creation, John Doe, has finally been
given a black mark. Last May the SUI.
preme court of Brooklyn handed down
an opinion that too much use was be-
ing made of the John Doe fiction, and
that justice often miscarried on that
account. Five justices agreed in this
conclusion. A more important and
binding decision along this line has
now come from the New York court o,
appeals In the case of head book
keeper for Klaw & Erlanger, the heads
of the theatrical trust. He was hand.
ed John Doe" subpoena and asked
to testify, and he refused. He was
threatened with contempt proceedings,
and the court ruled that he did not
have to obey such a summons. 1t
held that many subpoenas issued in
that manner are worthless, and that
mo business secret would remain un-
known If such a command were
obeyed."

Why Some Countries Are Uninhablted
A mere glance at our maps i'm

We see that the largest areas Of the

Arabia, and the steppes of Mongolia;
lands that are too wet and hot, slim.
ulating almost impenetrable forest
growths, as IN parts of the Amazon
and Congo basins; lands that are too
cold and bleak, as portions Of the
northern areas of America and Asia.
Even the characteristics of the inhab-

says Cyrus C. Adams in Harper's
Monthly. there is more unknown sur

COUNCIL BOWS BEFORE COMBINE

One councilman ont of eighteen had the Of his

One councilman out Of eighteen voted against the Blethen

one councilman out of eighteen raised his voice in pro-
test against resolution which consummated the hodup by
the publishers combine which will take thousands OF dollars
out Of the city treasury; indirectly Of the pockets of the
constituents OF the councilman.
Councilman James Keso was the public servant who had
the courage steadastness against the award OF
contract in which eNtortion is evident
The remaining members OF the city council rctrcated be-
hind an opinion Of Corporation Counsel Scott Calhoun that
the council award the TO the lowest bidder un-
less fraud in the bidding shown
There was no discussion OF the real meaning OF this
opinion no discussion Of the evident combine Of publishers
which in itself constituted fraud and furnished the ground
on which the council could have thrown out all bids The
consideration Of the bids was postponed io week
to give time TO investigate and determine ii the high bids
were not the direct result OF a conspiracy.
Seventeen eouneueu threw up their hands in true hodup
style.
Yet after the council had allowed itself 70 be held up
Councilman Murphy voiced feeble indirect protest He
stated that he talked the with other council
men, who agreed that the award OF the city printing
should be taken from the council and made duty OF the
