without buster, without hysteria AMI
without political buncomb.
It was stated in the course of the
discussion Saturday afternoon that
some obstacles are likely to be met
With in any efforts TO eliminate the
farious evil practices which have
crown up. chief among these would
probably be the provision of the law
which specifically eXempts the man
Who brides the voter This, at any
rate is true SO far as the new pri.
nary law Is concerned, which declares
1t the end of Section 50 as follows:
Amy candidate, or other per
son paying, furnishing or promis
ing to pay or furnish or bribe such
person, with money, intoxicating
liquor or any other thing of value,
or the promise thereof, shall not
be liable to punishment therefor,
but shall be a competent witness
and compelled to testify in prose
cutions under this section"
This provision was put into the law
n the plea that 1t would be necessary
0 have positive proof Of bribery in
rider to convict the accused and this
ould be procured only by eXempting
me of the parties to the corrupt trans
lctfon so that he would be a compc-
ent witness. II can be- said that in
>xen:pting the briber instead of the
ribed the trainers of the law exempt
d the greater of the two rogues. on
he ground that the higher the Of
'ender stands the greater his respons.-
ility to society, and the greater his
lifense, However this provision of
he law will probably not tsand in the
way of reform if the men who have
aiken the matter in hand are in earn
st. Most Of those who are exempted
y the law can be reached by other
Influences and those who can not will
put out of business for the wan: If
laying any business to do. For If the
candidates and their friends refuse
o supply any money TO buy votes, the
ward boss, the fellow who agrees t.
deliver the goods the most obiec-
icnable of the elements of corruption
n city politics. will lose his calling.
Another point raised was that issues
you'd arise upon Which people differ
Vi and there would be heated con.
est al the polls with each side deter
mined 10 win at almost any cost, and
with the result that unfair if not cor
rupt means would be restorted TO by
cne side, or by friends Of one sade
which would make it necessary tor The

S reason to hope that much will b,
done toward removing this obstacle

TRADE BOARD And
WATER SUPPLY
Presence Of Typhoid Fever in
the City Was Discussed
Last Night

The Civic Improvement Committee
precipitated extended discussion as to
the city's water supply in relation TO
the prevalence Of typhoid fever by pre-
senting resolution to the Board OF
Trade last night, urging the board to
appoint a special committee to invests
gate
Officials Of the Water Department
were among those who discussed the
resolutions. DR.. Albert Robin. the city
bacteriologist, said that It could not
be doubted that a good water supply
could prevent a wide spread Of typhoid.
No definite action was taken and the
matter went over to the next meeting
OF the board.
The Civic Improvement committees
report which started the discussion
was;
your committee has had brought to
their attention a matter that perhaps
more vitally affects the people Of our
city than anything that ever came be-
fore this board-the alarming preva-
lence Of typhoid fever and the possible
relation of our water supply to it. A
series OF ItSolulloIo MNAG dQOUNcuf anu
are as follows.
Whereas, The alarming prevalence
Of typhoid fever in our city is the oc-
casion of uncounted loss in the efii-
cheney of our people and is infinitely
greater public calamity in depriving rs
Of valuable and precious lives. there
having been eighteen cases with three
deaths reported in the past thirty days;
and,
Whereas, It has been proven that
typhoid fever IS a preventable disease,
to such an extent that its existence
may be said to be due to criminal
negligence; and,
Whereas, It is asserted by our
physicians that the chief cause Of this
prevalence Of typhoid fever is an im-
pure water supply; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Civic Improve
ment Committee urge upon the Board
of Trade the immediate appointment OF
a special committee with instructions
to investigate the very important mar-
ter, and 70 take such further action as
may be necessary. Respectfully sub
mitted.

SOME PREFER DOGS
TO CHILDREN

'orhis adopting dogs for children.
where will 1t end?" asked the mother
Of ten children and almost as many
grandchildren one dav last week as she
was driving down Fifth avenue the
first time in twenty years. fWhen
was last in New York there were some
persons who made pets OF dogs, but
nothing to what have seen on this
visit. In Boston IL is Just as bad. The
other day on Beacon street met a
well-dressed, midd1e-aged lady taking
out four dogs for an airing. With
some difficulty, but with the skill that
comes from long practice she steered
the restless animals so that persons
walking on the sidewalk might pass.
The way she looked at those dogsl
Why, her face fairly beamed with
motherly solicitude.
"A few blocks off on a narrow street,
saw a shabby group Of neglected
children trying to find amusement and
exercise in the dirty. noisy street, be-
fore a dingy ill-smelling tenement.
Their pale faces and dull eyes indicated
only too plainly ha1f-nourished bodies
and undeveloped minds. I couldn't
help but remark to the friend who was
with me: What a pity that the care
and solicitude of that woman we just
passed couldn't be bestowed on some
one or two Of these children instead
Of being wasted on those brutes. Think
of those poor children. orphans. OF
worse than orphans. who are running
in the streets learning profanity and
vice, dying prematurely in a tenement
or subjected to prison discipline in
some public asylum
Would you believe it, my friend not
only wouldn't agree with me about the
children but reproved me for calling
dogs brutes? As I was her guest,
driving in her carriage, I couldn't say
much. but did manage to impress on
her mind that dogs were brutes IN my
day, however they may have risen in
the social scale since" New York

NEW BANDMASTER
FOR FORT DUPONT

Chief Musician V. +. Safranek Of
the Sixth United States Infantry,
who has been stationed with the regi-
ment at Fort William Henry Harrison
at Helena, Mont, for some time, has
been transferred to Fort Dupont, at
Delaware City, and will arrive at his
new post at an early date. Concerning
the change the Helena Independent
says:
Lovers of good music in Helena,
who attended the concerts at the
Brcadwater last summer, will sin
cerely regret TO learn that Mr.. Safra-
nek is to leave the Helena post Mr.
SafranelS is an authority on all matters
pertaining to military bands and Is
considered perhaps the best band
master in the United States army. He
has made many friends during his
stay in Montana. A. leading musical
journal Of the East pays him this
high compliment:
1T is evident as soon as he faces
his orchestra that his authority is
potent, that he knows what he wants
and how to get it. His beat is as clear
cut and decisive, as will be seen, but
is always collected and controlled
sometimes sweeping large, sometimes
shrinking to an almost invisible move
ment, but always unmistakable. There
is nothing erratic or restrained in
what he does. His readings are pol
ished and finished to the last detail
and the finest facet. Yet it seemed
also that he sees the greater things
as WELL and that all his elaboration
is but subordinate to the larger SYM
metry Of outline and contour. His cli-
makes are superbly wrought. and by
processes as subtle as they are ef-
fective. He does not hesitate at any
degree of violence that Berlioz in his
most exaggerated movements calls for
but he insists not only upon the finest
pianissimo. but also upon all the
other intermediate graduations in their
place and where they should be-"
OF his work the Army and Navy
Journal says:
Major Frederick A. Mahan, United
States Army mas written a paper on
United States Army Musical Experts,
for the Dominant, a New York maga-
zine for musicians, in which after ex-
pressing high admiration for the pro-
fessional ability OF Chief Musician V.
r. Safranek, Sixth United States In
fantry. he says it is surprising that a
musician of Mr.. Safraneks attain
ments should remain in the service"
Mr.. Safranek will have charge of
the coast artillery band at Fort Dupont.
With his conservatory education and
long service in the army he has well
earned the title given TO him by his
large acquaintance among army off,
