One authority says that more than
~ per cent of cows have tuberculosis,
while another declares that those fig
ures are entirely too low and intimates
that more than 90 per cent of the ami
mails are at deaths door with the dead
iy plague. One guess is as good as an
other, and we don't mind intimatlng
that good 90 per cent OF the special
lists succeed in finding the trouble they
are hunting for whether 1t exists or
not.

"IF IT RUNS, KILL IT.

IF It runs. kill It." is the word
Ing OF an alleged order issued by an
army ofIicer In command In the Phil
ippines with regard to the natives of
certain tribes who are low down In
the scale of civilization. Congress
man Mccall. of Massachusetts, has
introduced a resolution In the house
calling for an investigation OF the
matter and the transmission of ali
information on the subject in the
hands of Secretary Taft. Those who
have watched the treatment of the
Fliplnos will not be surprised IL
the charge proves to be true, be-
cause 1t Is In keeping with the col
Onial policies of all nations holding
such power over an inferior race.
1t Is always government of oppres-
sion, mlsrule and injustice and al
ways will be from the fact that COM
merciallsm, rather than the better
ment of the oolonists, is the govern
Ing idea with those In power. HUI
man rights are ignored and a few
hundred lives sacrificed to the civil
ixing influence of the bullet do not
count In the race for gold. For the
sake OF our boasted civilization 1t is
to be sincerely hoped that the order.
If 1t runs, kin It. was never issued
