We have been too pressed with the
affairs of the day to amble through
those 10000 words combined in
Judge Taft's acceptance address with
that closeness of scrutiny necessary
to estimate with exactness the num-
Der of times the name OF President
Roosevelt appeared, besides we were
never noted for our mathematical
inclinations. If among our readers
there may be found one who delights
in figures and to whom nothing
looks better than decimal points and
long rows of numerals, we will be
greatly obliged if such one will tell
us how many times "My Candidate"
used the name of his political dis
cOverer.
Here are few of the reference we
were able to gather in a hurried
search through the address. If there
is anyone who has harbored any
doubt as to the utter subserviency of
Judge Taft to the Strenuous One,
we believe this will have the effect of
rather uusteadying such an impress
sion:
''The man who formulated the ex-
preston of the popular conscience
and who led the movement for prac-
tical reform was Theodore Roose-
velt.'
MIR. Roosevelt has set high the
standard of business morality and
obedience of the law"
But. as President Roosevelt in his
indianapolis speech and the supreme
court have in effect pointed out
AS Mr.. Roosevelt has said in
speaking of this very subject
"Mr. Roosevelt recommended an
amendment to the antitrust law"
"Mr. Roosevelt's policies have
been progressive and regulative
"Mr. Roosevelt would compel the
trusts to conduct their business in a
lawful manner
"President Roosevelt directed suits
to be BROUGHT
I'm this work Mr.. Roosevelt has
had the support aud sympathy of
the Republican party"
The moral standard set by Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not continue to
be observed 40

Philadelphia, Oct 21.-Penns foot
ball coaches and players are banking
on the Indian game. The season will
be q success or a failure in their es-
tImation according as this game is
won or lost. Two crushing defeats in
succession by the overwhelming scores
of "a to and 26 to have caused
deep feeling at Franklin field, and
now II Is anything to beat the In
dams" Glenn Warner on Saturday
brought his entire team down to see
Penn play against Brown, and by
so doing scored a point on Pennsyl-
vania. for Coach Metzgar had slipped
away. hoping to see the Indians line
up against Susquehanna. Warner can
celled this game in order to allow his
braves to SEQ Penn perform.
One fact stands out pre-eminent in
considering the chances for this game
The team that does the best work in
the first ten minutes will win. If in
that time Penn can gain consistently
and can stop the forward passes of
the Indians a red and blue victory is
assured, for the Indians have never
been a team to fight hard in the
shadow of defeat. If, on the other
hand. two or three of those wonderful
Indian forward passes succeed at the
start. Penn will never be able to stem
the tide. for the Indians when buoyed
up with success. fight like demons.
Penn can probably beat the Indians
at straight. old-fashioned football but
they have two things to fear. First
and most important is the forward
passing. which is feature of the IN
dams play. This must be checked

Penn's second danger lies in

last two games this Indian has kicked

Analysis of Water Ordered b,
the Board of Health.
WHAT RESULTS SHOW
Drainage From Sewers Seepet
in Many Wells.
Quickest Relief Secured From
Boiling the Water.

Ottawa. Oct 21.-The cases of ty-
phoid fever on the north side resulted
from the use of polluted drinking water
This has been proven by an analysis
of the water made by Prof. w. B. Will
son under the direction of the board
of health.
The latter made the announcement
To-Day.
Heretofore all analyses of water for
the board Of health have been made
at the state laboratory. AT Ottawa
university meteorological laboratory,
In charge of Prof. Wilson, has just
been opened, and the tests in the pres
ent case were made here.
The new laboratory is equipped with
all the necessary scientific apparatus.
Everything is new and the students
taking the course are greatly interested
the meteorological laboratory at OF
| tawa university will be credited to
them by any of the medical schools of
the country.
THE test for pollution of drinking
water as a cause of typhoid fever Is
colon bacillus" said Prof Wilson to-
| day. "If the colon bacillus is found
| 1t is sure evidence that the well has
been polluted by drainage from the
sewer or ceSSpOOl. We used this

The colon bacillus is kindly, gem

They looked like minute steel splin-

| $4,000 to 325000 of an inch long and
| from three to five times as long as it

When Prof. Wilson went to work to
| determine whether there were colon

he made some strong clear beef tea,
added some prepared peptone and su-
gar and then added to this solution

| test tubes with this. In few hours
the colon bacilli began an attack on
the sugar, liberating the gas in it, and

the test tube. There was great deal
of gas in one tube, a little less in the
second still less in the third and only
a trace in the fourth. 1t was conclu-

Humphreys was arrested last Friday

that he was in French at the time OF
the robbery but declares that he was
not implicated in 1t. He is an ex-con-
