The Star does not put It any too

1t may not be reassuring informa-

these dangerous fanatics two distinct
movements would be necessary. First

is to keep the immigration inspectors

like many of the acts of their inspec-
tors, are impotent

an INFLICTED Rows.

The danger from hydrophobia, and the
difaculty Of suppressing or preventing
It Is well illustrated by the case of the
town OF Ludlow. Mass. For more than
year there have been cases Of the
disease there, and all effort to stamp
It out have been Intellectual Cases
have occurred at various times during
that period and no way of foreseeing
or preventing them has been found.
The latest case occurred only last week,
when dog plainly having rabies was
shot and killed by fits owner.
This method would have been ef-
fectuals and would have prevented any
danger Of the disease spreading but.
for the fact that the dog had been abb
sent from the home two or three days
before he returned raving mad. No
one can tell where he went during that
time or how many other dogs he may
have bitten and infected while roam
ing the streets and possibly the sur
rounding country. for one Of the Pc
cuIiaritiss OF this dread disease In
dogs is that as soon as one begins to
feel the symptoms coming on he be-
comes restless, ana II not closely con-
fined viii wander sway from home.
As they have a disposition to bite
what ever living thing comes in their
way when they are suffering from hy-
drophobia this dog may have bitten q
number of others and after varying
lengths Of time they will also become
dangerous.
There IL a mistaken idea among most
people that dogs never so mad except
during the hot season. Especially is
the period known as dog-days' con-
sidered the only time when danger
from this source is TO be apprehended.
and hence people are not disposed to
take due precautions at other seasons.
While it is true that rabies in dogs
may be more prevalent and violent in
very hot weather than at other times
IT is a known fact that any dog is la
BILE to go mad at any season. The
preiod of incubation. or the time elaps-
ing after q dog is bitten before he ex-
hibits the disease, may be only a few
days or it may be weeks or even
months. so that q dog bitten in the
heat OF summer may not himself be-
come dangerous until winter or spring
We do not know whether the length
of this period of incubation depends on
the nature Of the animal or on the con-
dition of its system. or on some cause
not fully understood but the fact re-
mains that the period varies greatly.
both in animal ana human subjects.
For these reasons there Is always more
or less danger where there are dogs,
and this is why the disease Is so hard
to stamp out. as shown in the Ludlow
case. The dog that was killed there
last week may have bitten various
others and they may show it at any
time in the near future, and thus the
disease continue to aff1ict the town.
It is q misfortune of the canine fam
lily for which We suppose they are not
to blame. but It exists just the same.

There can be but one answer to the
question. The lawyers of this country
know this to be true and should pro-
people who do not read Judges opin-
ions may understand that the under
lying purpose OF the anti-Judiciary
crusade Is TO strip the courts OF some
the people as they expressed It An
their constitution.
That, also. is plain talk. but we re-
peat that It is time for public men who
believe in the government founded by
the fathers to speak out plainly This
idea of refusing to criticise Roosevelt
because he is the President. and OF ex-
cusing his usurpations OF power on
the fiimsy plea that 'ne means we'll"
should cease The President is not
such a high and exalted parsonage
that he is above criticism. and the ar.
gument that he always means well
rests on q very slender foundation.
In the matters referred to by Judge
Parker, as The Hartford Times ex-
presses 1t, 'Iies the clue to the whole
