Baltimore Clergyman Suggests Way

Baltimore. Sept. 23.-Rev. NJ. c..
Barabasz. pastor of HAy Rosary Pol
ish Church, Eastern avenue and Beth
ell street. recently finished and sent to
DIR. John 8. Fulton, secretary Of the
International Congress on Tubercu-
losis. which meets In Washington this
week. an interesting contribution, en-
titled "A Thought Relative to the Pos
sibility of a Specific Remedy in Tu-
bercular Therapy."
About Is years ago DR.. Barabasz
studied biology and experimental psy-
chology in the Medical School Of Paris
under celebrated professors.
In the paper DR.. Barabasz says. in

mot long ago had large dog.
The animal was somewhat vicious and
I had to keep him chained. The ken
mel was at the end OF the yard. where
I had grass. clover and other ordinary
specimens Of plants. One morning
the dog was feeling bad and laid for
several hours with his mouth open
and only from time to time making
frantic efforts to reach the garden.
Noticing this began to throw the
dog pieces OF plants that grew near
by. He touched none Of them until
threw him q piece Of peppermint.

the little bush In his mouth be-
fore It reached the ground and de-
voured It.
"At intervals I began to try to feed
the dog pieces OF other plants that
grew In the yard. but he refused all
except the peppermint. The next
morning he was feeling better, and
before evening was quite well. After
that he would take no more pepper
mint. The dog had been ailing from
stomach disorder and his natural in
stinct seemed to tell him what nc
really wanted to cure his ailment.
"My opinion IL that by injecting
some animals with the germ OF tubtr-
culosis and by ferreting out their in
stinctive habits. in the effort toward
self-cure by means latent In nature,
a specific remedy for use in tubercu-
lar therapy would be disclosed.
"The above suggestions seem to be
consonant with sound logic and the
accepted methods Of empiric science.
The ingenuity Of the human brain is
great. yet the world admits the in
stinctive achievements OF animals In
many instances seem to excel the In
telligence of mankind by the accu-
racy. certainty and simplicity In exc.
cution.
my experience with the sick dog
that cured himself owing to his in
stinctive recourse to a plant in my
garden seems to lead to the belief that
the same marvellous faculty If OBJ,
-trved In the acts of tuberculous ami
mails may likewise give the intima-
tion to the observer as to what and
where a corresponding remedy is In
nature"

Throughout Governor Gooding's

the vacant lands belonging to the
state. This effort has been attended
by the most gratifying results. Over
100000 acres of state land have been
leased for grazing purposes, at an

than the rents received from all the
states lands each year under Demo-

State Capitol.
At the eighth session Of the legis-

rect established the state capital in
Boise, and provided for the erection
of capitol building. A commission
was at once appointed by the COVER

from sturdy English Quaker stock.
For over 80 years he has been ex-
tensively engaged in the practice of
law, largely connected with mining
litigation, but his practice has covered
every branch of the profession, in
which he has met with conspicuous
success.
Senator Hepburn was elected a
member of the Idaho constitutional
convention Of 1899, and participated
activity In all Of its deliberations,
serving as chairman of the the ju-
dietary committee, as well as being
on other important committees.
Although not candidate for the
office, he was nominated for con-
gress on the Republican ticket in
1898, but was defeated on account of
the free silver disaffection at that
time. He was a delegate to the Re-
publican National conventions of 1888.
1892. 1900 and 1904, and national
committeeman for Idaho from 1904
to 1908.
In 1903 he was elected to the
United States senate, receiving all of
the Republican votes in the legisla-
ture. Upon entering the senate he
was made chairman of the committee
on manufactures, which had charge
of the pure food legislation In the SEN
ate, and distinguished himself by the
magnificent fight he made for the
passage of the pure food bill which is
now a national statute.

1898 and delegate to the national Re-
two terms he served as regent Of the
state university, and in 1909. at the
age of "a, was elected to the supreme
bench of the state Of Idaho. His ca
reer there has been marked by the
most decided appreciation of the bar
and the public. Since then there have
been vastly more questions constituting
the state constitution before the court
than during any previous like period.
His insistence that foreign corpora

mitted to arrogate to themselves, I'M
challenged, illegitimate power and in
fluence has proven boon to the state.
Preceding his ascent to the chief
justiceship, he wrote the opinion OF
the supreme court OF Idaho In the
Moyer-Haywood-Pet case. AL
though 1t was a new question on ex-
tradition, the supreme court of the
United States upheld the Idaho court
In every particular. The unanimous
opinion in the Mormon case and that
in the mechanics lien case were writ

Judge Ailshie was born in Greene
county, Tennessee, June 10, 1858, and
came of sturdy Scotch ancestors who
had participated in the Revolution.

fought with the northern army in
the Civil war. The early education

He was born in Vermont, ILL.,, May
4, 1884, and was educated at Hedding
college and the Bloomington law
school. He came to st. Anthony 10
years ago, where he has been en-
gagged in his profession ever since.
He was a member of the Idaho leg
islature in 1897, demonstrating at
that time his peculiar fitness for the
public service, and enlisted as pri-
vate in the Idaho Volunteers the fol-
lowing year, 1898, when the war with
Spain began. He was later commits
stoned a captain and in the Philip
pines participated in the capture Of
Manila.
After the surrender of the Spanish
army Colonel Hamer was appointed
provost judge of Manila. He was
wounded at Caloochan and for effic-
iency was promoted to the lieutenant
colonelcy of his regiment. He was
later made military governor Of Cebu.
When the Idaho volunteers were mus

mendation of General Otis, he was
given by President Mckinley a COM

Mr.. Hastings came to Idaho in 1894
and lived in Idaho county for about a
year and a half, going from there to
Lewiston, where he became prominent
in local affairs. He was elected as a
member of the Lewiston city council,
and while chairman of the water COM
mittee the municipality purchased the
waterworks of private company
after a sensational and hard fought
battle.
In 1898. when everything else
seemed to be Democratic and Popu-
listic he was chosen treasurer of Nez

delights to honor him as broad
minded citizen of the highest order of
usefulness.
He was born in Indiana county,
Pennsylvania, June IL, 1852, coming
from Scotch-Irish stock on his fathers
side of the family and German on his
mothers. Both branches of the fam
lily possessed records of service and
loyalty to the United States which ex-
tended back over $50 years.
During his early boyhood his father
moved to Kansas and settled on a
farm near Kansas City where Mr..
Brady received his earlier education,
graduating from the high school and
later taking a course in Leavenworth
Normal college with the intention of
adopting the profession of a teacher.
He followed this for three years, but
his natural ability and inclination To-
mented the call of business activity.
In Chicago his first venture was
real estate, and while there his at
tention was attracted by the wonder
full possibilities of Idaho, and the in
ception and development of the Idaho,
the Marysville and the Fort Hall In
dian reservation canals were the re-
suit. These. with the Great Feeder
in Fremont and Bingham counties, a
later enterprise, were constructed
purely as a private undertaking under
the Carey act and irrigate an immense
area.
Mr.. Brady made Idaho his home in
1896 and became interested at that
time in the electrical development of
the water power of the southeastern
part of the state, now being president
of the Idaho Consolidated Power COM
pany. whose plant at American Falls
has an actual estimated capacity of
$4,000 horsepower.
Despite these great undertakings he
can not be considered a corporation
man in the sense politically used, and
has nothing to ask or receive of the
state government. He Is a friend to
labor and is immensely popular with
the workers Of his own section.
He soon became prominent in Ida
no politics and served as state chair
man from 1904 until this year,
through two campaigns, leading the
party to overwhelming victories in
both instances. His withdrawal from
the senatorial race in 1906 in the in
terests of party harmony gained him
the title of Harmony Jim" and the
term in its most commedable sense is
applicable.

to that body.
He was born in San Francisco, jan
uary 10. 1858. In 1871 his parents
brought him to Idaho, where his
father had cattle ranch on Raft
river. He attended the University of
California and later Yale, from which
institution he was graduated in 1889.
He returned to Idaho and engaged in
the cattle business in Cassia county
Mr.. Sweetser was also interested ex-
tensively in gold dredging and is now
in the sheep business. He has a home
stead on the Minidoka government ir-
rigation project and a partnership in
one of the best large farms in the
state in the lower Raft river valley.
Mr.. Sweetser was elected to the
sixth and eighth sessions of the Ida
no legislature, where he distinguished
himself as an active member of the
lower house. He was a member of
the first board of trustees of the AL
bion state normal school, and is chair
man of the Burley independent school
district and president of the Burley
Commercial club.

immigration and Statistics Vital.
In no executive department, per-
maps, has greater strides been made
than in the department of immigra-
ton and statistics during the past
six years. For the first time in the
history of the state have the duties
of the office been taken seriously by
Its holders. The immigration COM
missioners have gathered a mass of
industrial and production statistics.
which are so complete, and which
make so good a showing, that the
credit of the state in eastern financial
circles is largely based upon them.
The Importance of the work done can
hardly be over-estimated. It Is re-
garded as of vital importance that II
should be maintained, and in oniy
one way can this be assured-by the
election of Mr.. Brady to the gov
ernorship.
Statements Are Trustworthy.
In closing, 1t can be said that the
statements and statistics given above
are made advisedly. Their accuracy
is guaranteed. An effort has been

plishments of the administration of

The results attained are to be seen
by all men. The wisdom of executive
action, which has resulted, is left
without fear to the judgment of the
people. The administration of Gov
ernor Brady during the years 1909
and 1910 Will be of the same pattern.
Even greater benefits may be ex-
pected from his control of state affairs
during those years than have ever
been enjoyed by our people during
any previous like period in the history
of the state.
