the State this way than to winter them
sometimes, and if the Messenger is not
mistaken, after this long period of BUSH
ness depression and unprecedented
drouth. the State will have plenty of op-
portunity to invest in dead cattle this
winter if the law is not changed.
After all is said and done about it. II
the tuberculin test is the best achieve
ment of science in this direction yet,
then public opinion can enforce it more
thoroughly than all the lave of the
State when once public opinion has been
educated to the point of doing it. Con-
vince the people of his State that they
must avoid beef or milk from cattle sus-
pected of tuberculosis, because the dis
ease is communicable and means death
to them, and not butcher can sell a
rump steak or milk man pint of
milk without guaranteeing his customers
that the cattle from which they came
passed the test. Once let public opinion
thoroughly understand and believe in
this test, and not a householder will buy
COW for family milk supply without
making the passing of the test part OF
the bargain. When that time comes,
the people and their customs will make
their own law-and enforce it. And
law so made, law that is based upon the
instinct of self preservation. is mightiel
than any statute made at Montpelier
and opens no avenue for defrauding the
State treasury.-St. Adams Messenger.

The above is both a very sensible and
timely article. In the first place the
chances are very largely that DIR. Koch
is entirely correct, that bovine tubercu-
losis cannot be communicated to human
beings. But whether this is so or not,
we think the st. Adams Messenger per-
fectly right in saying that the people
can now handle this question themselves
very much better than the Legislature
and save an immense amount of money,
which is evidently now worse than
squandered each year.
We say worse than squandered because
it breeds large amount of dishonesty,
and because of the scandal during the
last year in the disposition of the car
casses.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the
Legislature will not fail to act IN this
most important matter. The eXpendi.
ture of hundred thousand dollars a
year or more, worse than wasted, should
be stopped at once.

TWO DRIVES.

One day last summer, as | was driving
from the church in Cornwall across to the
church in West Cornwall, | noticed with
delight the number of vigorous young
elm trees on both sides of the road
thought of deceased friend who had
some years before rejoiced IN their
growth When they were much smaller,
and remarked to my companion, Chow
beautiful these elms are becoming. This
will soon be one of the most finely shaded
roads about here." Beneath the trees
the road sides were adorned with varied
shrubbery, and with that most beautiful
of Vermont's wild flowers, the sweet
scented clover. The air was filled with
the health-giVing fragrance of its deli
cate white plumes nodding above its
rich blue green LEAKAGE.
A month or 80 later | again drove the
same way. But what did behold! Both
sides of the road were strewn with the
branches and trunks of these same beau
tiful trees. Many of the trunks We're
larger than mans thigh: | counted be
tween twenty-five and thirty of them,
aud there were still more. There they
lay, Frustrated not by any devastating
tempest, but ruth!essly hewn down 10y
man. 1t will take the lifetime of gen
eration 20 repair their loss. Moreover
the shrubbery also was sheared away.
and the whole roadside was made as bare
and desolate as axe and scythe could
make it.
Ought there not to be laws enacted
which will prevent the preparation OF
such vandalism? The far famed beauty
of the suburbs of Boston is chiefly due tc
the cultivation and preservation of trees
and shrubbery along its roadside Every
town and village might have similar
beauty with little pains taking. AnC
when nature has done so lavishly to pro
vide beauty as in the instance above
cited, and this beauty is barbarously de
etroyed, one hardly knows which is most
to be deplored, the despoliation of nature
or the stupidity of man.

Destruction of Wavside Beauty.

The following excellent communica-
ton from one of our summer visitors,
shows how they feel about this horrible
destruction of our wayside beauty,
which has been perpet' ated during the
last two years. A quarter century or more
will be required to restore this beauty.
Our highways should be beautiful aven-
ues bordered by graceful trees with a
large amount at different places of hand
some shrub cry interspersed. AT pres
ent they are bordered by masses of dead
brush and dead trees.

Massing of Filth That Threatens
Disease to Population of
Santa Clara County
SPECIAL D1sPArcH TO THE CALL


SAN JOSE, July Eighty thousand
persons-the entire POI ulation of one
Of the most healthy and prosperous
counties in California-in imminent
peril Of a pestuence that. once given
headway. would turn its far acres into
yawning graveyards.
That is the situation which today
confronts Santa Clara county, includ
ing the city Of san Jose. Responsible
ity for the condition can be laid to no
other door than that of a political ring
greedy for gold. Coldly Indifferent TO
The public veal, the Southern Pacific
railroad and the Spring Valley water
company, through a corporation owned
Jointly but held in the names of num-
Der Of capitalists whose names have
been kept secret, have deliberately
chOked up the only outlet for the sew
age Of a city of so 900 inhabitants. For
six months the great Outfau sewer Of
san Jose, carrying all the refuse of the
city and its enTirons, has been empty
ing into a series of great sloughs, for
merly connecting with the sea but now
closed by a reclamation dam built by
the corporation behind which are the
Southern Pacific and Spring Valley.
LARGE LAKE OF FILTH
In these sloughs, covering seven
miles IN their tortuous winding, today
lies half a years accumulations Of
mouldering filth. putrefying carcasses,
flesh and vegetable matter. This huge
lake Of filth sends forth a stencil that
sickens every living thing within miles

RECOGNIZES HIS WAGON

F. Jeneck, butcher, Nineteenth ave-
nue. and Clement street, drove to the
shop of e. Conn, a knife grinder. at 81
Commercial street, on Wednesday, to
have some knives sharpened. Conn rec
ognized the wagon driven by Jeneck as
one that had been stolen from him a
few days previous, and when he ques-
toned Jeneck he was informed that
the wagon had been purchased from
two Mexicans, but the full amount had
not been paid. The police were noti-
two Mexicans to call for the balance OF
the money on Thursday. Detectives
Becker and Welsh waited at Jeneck' S
shop till the two men appeared and
arrested them on charge of grand
larceny. They gave the names of Hen
ry Lagrange and Arthur Ybarra.
The San Francisco call., 1908-07-05

officials did go down there and then
they made a contract with the Dunn
barton company. That puts it up to
them, and We haven't got anything to
do with it now. Besides, I have never
been ordered by anybody to make a sur
vey over the right of way the Dunbar
ton people gave US, so. as far as l am
concerned. I am not mixed in it."
Have you tried to hasten action?"
NO; we've been sparring for delay
because it would cost a lot of money
to fix the sewer-we might have to is
sue bonds. That's all I know. Good
day"
County Health Oficer, Simpson dis
claimed all responsibility or interest in
the condition at the sewers mouth.
I've never been down there. myself -
he said. II have no jurisdiction, any
way to do anything. All I can do is to
done by one of my deputies. Really, it's
all up to the city. The sewer is pri-
vete city property and the county has
nothing to do with IT..
But is not the sewer a grave menace
to the health of the county,"
Yes, it certainly is. 1t would be
very easy for mosquitoes, house flies
and insects to carry typhoid and scar
let fever, but, as I say have not the
power to do anything. You see, also, a
county health officer only receives the
munificent sum of $50 a month for COM
pensation. and if he has to earn his liv-
ing he can't very well be expected to
give quite all of his time to investigat-
ing nuisances and carrying on fights.
CREATURES OF MACHINE
At the present time every county and
city official is a creature of the poIit-
ical machine dominated nv the Haves
brothers. Monday the city administra-
tion will change, Mayor Charles W.

by the endless flow of filth. a smell
arose from this even more sickening
than from the ditch.
Standing on a post of the food gate
the observer beheld, stretching for
miles, an apparently endless vista of
the same black. boiling. sinking water
Round his head and body buzzed
sWarms of insects, mosquitoes. flies and
winged bugs of all descriptions. On
the surface of the water darted water
bugs, while now and then the flying
insects would descend to the surface of
the vile mass. With the coming of the
hot summer days the mosquitoes and
flies will multiply by the millions and
it will be but the work of night for
them to be waited. with the disease
germs, to any part of the district.
The stencil that arises from the sew
age in the sloughs is SO great that the
entire county has been affected. In
Milpitas and Alviso it is constantly
present, and with the shifting of the
wind it penetrates into every corner of
the valley. With the wind in the right
direction the smell in San Jose at
times becomes almost unbearable.

A dispatch from Copenhagen says:
ssThere has been a fiirtatious tendency
In Copenhagen, with Berlin as it's OBJ
jective. This led King Edward during
his recent visit to Copenhagen to make
the remark that if Denmark wanted
peace it was necessary to act in such
way that no suspicion would be
aroused. King Edwards words were
far from sensational as to their form
and the way they were spoken, but
the whole nation realized their vast
significance as soon as they were put
in the proper light"
Great dissatisfaction exists on the
Farce islands and one man rule 10
making itself felt very effectively. For
mer Rigsdags Representative Pattur-
son, who was defeated at the last cleo
tons, has commenced a bitter agita-
ton against the Danish government
and his intention is to rule the island.
There is every evidence that he will
succeed, too, if the Danish government
does not take a hold of the matter in
earnest.
The Danish government has decided
to discontinue the Danish West India
lottery, in which principally American
gamblers have been playing. The lot
