The Secret Of il.

With many members of the
Gould and Vanderbilt mixed up in
divorce cases, with tales of social
enmities at Newport and sundry
kinds of unhappiness at Lenox,
we are having plenty Of evil
dence Of the truth expressed ages
ago that riches do not mean hap
piness. They are a help to hap
piness when IN the hands of sane
and right-minded people, but
only up to a certain point. Be-
yond certain limit it is doubt
full if any additional sum of mon
ey can add an iota to the happi-
ness of any man or woman.
Why, then, will men continue
to work and to pile riches upon
riches, as Hartman is doingand
as the elder Vanderbilts, Goulds
and Rockefellers did? The an
swer is, power. After there is
no further need for the instinct
of self-preservation, after the
instinct of defense for dependent
loved ones has fulfilled its duty,
the next instinct of man is the
thirst for power. Long ago he
exercised this instinct by swinging
a club. Later, as human so
clety became organized, he sought
power by leadship in war and in
civil government. He sought
power by favor from royalty, and
thus grew up the feudal system.
Today the easiest, the COM
monest way of acquiring power
is by acquiring large wealth.
1t is a materialistic age. Wealth
power; not merely political
power, but social power, moral
power, power to do good-and
power to do harm Even in the
process of requirement it gives
power. The man whose mills or
'allroads employ hundreds or
thousands of men feels in small
n great measure the power he
las, the ability to furnish sus-
ence to many families, the abil-
ty to accomplish certain visible,
ends. And there are
ew men strong enougg to give up
he cup of power once they
ave tasted it.-Ind. Star.

The superintendent of the Kan
sas City parks and boulevards
says the oiling of the streets
under his jurisdictions, which
has been practiced for two sea-
sons, not only abates the dust,
but has preserved the macadam
and reduced the cost of main
tenance. He says that in 1907 it
cost slO,6l7.44 to oil the boule-
wards, and that a like service for
sprinkling them with water
would have cost 16,207.52, a
saving by the use of oil of
$5;535.S8, or 81 per cent. These
are facts and figures are worth
rejecting on by the Jasper town
Board.

TO VISIT THE CANAL ZONE
INTERSTATE CoMMITTEE TO
MAKE TRIP SOON.
Object to Make Observations To Aid
In Framing a Code Of
Laws.

AT the first meeting OF the House COM
mitteee on interstate and foreign COM
merce the suggestion will be made that
Zone this winter.
Several matters of Importance affecting
the government of the Zone probably will
come before Congress at the next session.
and. as the interstate and foreign COM
merce committee has full Jurisdiction
over new legislation for that territory, 1t
is thought wise that the entire member
ship acquaint itself with recent develop
TnentS there. II has been five years since
the committee visited the Zone
When Congress adjourned at the close
of the last session il was the intention
for both the appropriation committee and
the interstate commerce committee 10
visit the Zone this fall, but the election
interfered with this arrangement, and
none of he members of the former COM
mittee will go to the isthmus this winter.
By arranging for a government vessel to
call for the members of the interstate
commerce committee at some southern
port, probably Miami. Ola, and to re-
turn, them there. it Is believed that the
trip could he accomplished before NGw
Year. There are no important hearings
scheduled for this committee before the
holidays as is the case with the appro-
priation committee, and it will be urged
that the business of the session would
not be retarded by the trip
While it is said by members already
in the city that code Of laws for the
Congress until the completion of the ca
nal at least, it is argued that study
of the development of the country will
assist materially In framing such code.

FIGHT won AGAINST PLAGUE
RAT CATCHERS STAMP OUT
BUBoNIC SCoURGE.
San Francisco Freed of Disease After
Battle Lasting Nearly
Two Years.

Bubonic plague has been wiped out on
the Pacific coast, according to a report
to the Treasury Department by Surgeon
General Wyman of the marine hospital
service. The plague has been epidemic
in San Francisco since May. 1907. In
that month q case was discovered which
resulted fatally. The number mounted
each month till there was a monthly to-
tai of thirty-three cases and twenty-six
deaths.
The federal and municipal authorities
were greatly alarmed, and crusade
against rats was inaugurated. None OF
the officials had ever been in such fight
before, and even the method of procedure
had to be planned and then carried out
with untried helpers. The rat brigade
trapped weekly from 1900 to 5000 rats
for many months A laboratory was
established and the carcasses were all
examined for plague Infection. 1T Was
months before plague rats began to be
identified, and the number rose rap dly.
But the precautions against the spdead of
the plague to human beings were begin
ming to take effect, and the number of
human cases began to diminish. even
while the number of plague-infected ra:s
increased. Then the number of plague
rats began to dwinde, and in the month
of October last there was not case OF
human plague In San Francisco and no
plague rats were found
In Oakland in the last four months OF
1907 there were twelve human plague
cases, but there have been none since
then 1t is interesting from a scientific
standpoint to know that there was one
plague-infected ground squirrel captured
in Los Angeles during the crusade The
human plague cases spread As far north
as Seattle Wash, but 1t is believed mat
they have been stamped out there also
