Some years ago there was { brand of
journalists known as special commission

sent on missions which their editors con-
sidered of special importance, says tie

perts would come to Washington and en-
deavor to extract something from the off,

correspondents could get. One of these

ROTTERDAM WINS
is CHAIRMAN OF HUDSON
COUNTY REPUBLICANS.
Kaiser, Put Out of Running by Tochni-
cality, Says He Will Work for
Harmony.

JERSEY CITY, Jan. 11.-County
Clerk Rotterdam was last night elected
chairman of the Hudson County Re-
publican committee.
Sheriff Kaiser had been chairman of
the committee for two years and an
active member of that body for upward
of fifteen years. In their anxiety to
get votes the Rotherhamites claimed
that the primary officers at the primary
at which Kaiser was reelected a COM
mitteeman two months ago had not
been sworn as required by the rules of
the committee.
This was sufficient cause to throw
the election into the committee on APP
peals. and Secretary Mccarthy accepted
this view. He declined, pending the In
vestigation, which could not take place
until after the committee had been ap-
pointed by the new chairman, to rec
ognize Kaiser or his colleagues from
the Sixth Ward as members OF the
committee.
Acting Prosecutor Vickers made a
harmony speech in presenting Mr..
Rotterdam as a candidate for the
craftsmanship. No other nomination
was made and the County Clerk re-
ceived the votes of all the members of
the committee with the exception of
twenty-eight from the Twelfth Ward.
John Doscher, deputy collector of GUS
toms and a staunch supporter of Dick
inson, in announcing the vote of this
ward. declared twenty-elght blanks
and three for Rotterdam.
Rotterdam said he wanted harmony
n would do everything in his power to
bring 1t about. Sheriff Kaiser was af-
terward called upon and said he &C
cepted the situation without complaint,
adding that he would do his share
toward bringing the party together.

to their claims and arguments as he would
TO the managers of any other corporate
enterprise. There was frequently too much
arrogance on each side. One of the great
difficulties In peaceful adjustments OF con-
troversies was the refusal of each side to
take time to understand the attitude of the
other. Such organizations as the Civic
Federation were helpful IN bringing about
a better understanding.
Mr.. Taft referred to the settlement of
the anthracite coal strike as a triumphant
vlndication of President Roosevelt and a
victory for arbitration. Although every
thing should be done TO avert strikes there
were times when nothing but a strike
would accomplish the legitimate purposes
OF the laborer.
Mr.. Taft next turned his attention 10
corporate evils and abuses as they affect
labor. Industrial corporations by sitting
competition and railroad corporations by
means OF the rebate kept up the prices of
the necessities OF life and thereby reduced
the purchasing power of wages. Labor,
therefore, should vigorously sustain the
policy Of the In bringing there
great corporate enterprises within the law
and requiring them to conduct their busi-
ness in accordance with the statutes Of
their country.
He condemned corporate gers for
entering into a course Of violence In a labor
controversy. No amount Of lawlessness on
the part of the labor striker j~ustiles law
l~essness on the part of the employer.
Blacklisting. too, was unlawful and should
be condemned. Actual or threatened vic
lence by united labor to prevent the EN-
ployment of men In place of strikers was
unlawful and was strongly to be con-
demned, but persuasion not amounting In
effect to duress was lawful. The boycott
was characterized by the speaker az a
cruel instrument.
When Mr.. Taft looked for his overcoat
at the end of the meeting 1t was not to
be found, and a search had been insti-
tuted for it when someone discovered a
boy trying to get out of the building with
1t. The coat was recovered but the boy
escaped.

UNLOADING THE WHITNEY.
Long Job for the Wreekers on the Freight

With her big black bow high and dry
on the southwest shore OF Wards Island

NJ. Whitney is an object Of interest to the
passengers on Sound boats passing
through He'll Gate. Around the freighter
are usually half n dozen barges engaged
in taking out her cargo.

submerged, making the work OF salvaging
the cargo in the holds astern difficult.
From the wrecking barges divers
descend in her holds every time the
tide allows them to work During the
slack tide they accomplish most of their
work. and altogether spend about four
hours q day under the water. 1t would
be useless for tho divers to try to WORK
under water during the ebb tide.
The forward part Of the Whitney Is
nearly all cleared OF cargo. The salvage
crews are now getting ct the cargo amid
ships and will work their way down astern
till they have the heavy goods out.

HEALTH OF THE HOG.
Pleasures That Should Be Taken to
Protect the Herd,

After all. the old adage that an ounce
Ut prevention is worth pounds OF cure
holds good in protecting the health OF
the hog. Cholera receives credit for
killing many animals whose death
is due to other causes. Many Of these
troubles can be guarded against or
may be successfully treated.
In the way Of preventive measures
first and foremost stands the natural
sunshine-the best antiseptic and ger
micide known. Here is where, other
things being equal, the large. fancy
hog house Is less desirable than the
small. Individual narrowing house in
which the sun can penetrate every
nook and corner drying, warming and
disinfecting thoroughly every inch Of
surface.
1t might be said to an almost equal
extent that the more dipping the less
disease, as the dipping process not
only destroys the ver1nin, but stimu-
lates the action Of the skin and. re-
f1eXly. the digestive organs.
During last fall and winter several
outbreaks Of true hog cholera were
caused by the lack of a little foresight
in not properly handling breeding and
show stock. No hog or pig should be
placed among strange animals without
first being kept in quarantine for
few weeks and dipped several times.
In buying breeding stock or show
stock, returning home they should al
Ia 4 sixyir nd ar
the end of the quarantine period be-
fore turning them in with the rest OF
the herd. BY quarant1ning, in this in
stance. is meant the keeping Of the
animals entirely by themselves and
cared for by an attendant who never
goes near the main herd until such
time as it is decided positively that
they have not been infected with dis
ease.
When symptoms of cholera appear
in herd it is wise to dip the whole
herd. disinfect their quarters thorough
ly, give them a slight change in feed
and add to this about five drops Of
tincture Of prickly ash for each hun
dred pounds Of hog once or twice per
day. The old remedy Of wood ashes
and salt is good in many instances. A
little powdered sulphate of copper,
dried sulphate of iron or charcoal
given daily when the animals are not
perfectly healthy frequently does much
good.-F. S. Schoenleber, D. " S., Pro
