a CHANCE FOR CARNEGIE.

A sad story Of mans inhumanity 70
man, comes from Shenandoah, this
state, where railroad conductor on
one of the Burlington lines has been
mulcted $43 for damages claimed and
allowed by the supreme court. 1t ap-
pears that the DAMAGE INDUCED in
llisorderiy conduct aboard the train IN
charge Of the damager, who attempted
to keep order. In the MELEE which
followed, the conductor seems to have
simply whaled the deviltry out of the
iisturber of the peace to an extent
that required retirement to hospital
and certain medical attention. The
court which seems to have held to law
closer than to justice, assessed the
conductor to the extent Of expenses
thus incurred.
Now IL ever man deserved well OF
the travelling public, that decent travel
ing public which is content to sit in
one seat and put it's legs on another
and otherwise behave itself, he is this
Burlington conductor who did what all
have madly desired to do on occasion.
Who has not hungered to prepare for
the hospital some drunken, disorderly
and obscene brute staggering up and
down the aisle Of passenger COACH
shocking women and disgusting men
And when this Burlington telemachus
up and does it to the queens taste
and. the satisfaction and delight of the
world in, general, pesky little super
ior court makes him pay half months
salary as a penalty for public service!
If he got what is coming to him ne
would have medals to wear and money
to burn.
Some one should start a subscription
whereby he may be remunerated and
rewarded. In fact a fund should be
endowed to pay a pension to conduct
ors who emulate him. Six months OF
such conductoring would make smok-
ii ing cars habitable for respectable peo-
pie. Here is Mr.. Carnegie's new OPP
portunity. A hero medal and a hun
dred plunks to conductors for each
abusive and disorderly drunk put out
with a left hook or off with swift
kick would cover and condone a null
titude of industrial piracies, Hoot
mon! Pit doom the siller.
And you. conductor of the Burling-
ton, sweep on in your eagle flight! Our
hopes triumphant DER our fears are
all with thee. Run your train as OF
wore and may you and your sort multi
ply even against the satisfaction OF
your pocket money. There is no dl-
version of public sentiment. 1t is all in
your favor.

Sour Milk.

The sourness which occurs In milk is
due to the action Of micro-o organisms
living cells so small that they can only
be seen by using q strong miscroscope.
These micro organisms live on the
sugar of milk, lactose, and change 1t
into Tactic acid, so these small organ
isms are called tactic acid bacteria
These micro organisms are more num-
erous and more active in summer than
in winter, and they grow most rap.
idly when the milk is kept warm.
Therefore if milk is to be kept sweet,
it is necessary to cool it as quickly
as possible after 1T is drawn from the
COW and keep it cool until needed for
use. There are other micro organisms
which multiply in milk and injure It
as a food for human beings. Some OF
these are found in the milk when
freshly MIXED but most of them ind

barn, soiled hands of the mixers, or
unclean milk buckets, strainers, sep

ing water, and placed where they will
be free from dust, but exposed to fresh
air and sunshine. Il possible.

policies; instead Of going once In two
or three weeks to hear spellbinder
denounce and glorify, we sit quietly at
home and with the facts before us ar
rive cody and sanely at conclusions.
Then we go to the polls and cast our
votes without excitement. We find 1t
entirely unnecessary to promote the
men and policies we favor by loud
language and physical prowess. And all
this is horse sense. more than apathy
Time was when log cabins were
hauled about the streets as the coat
of arms of the pioneer candidate and
keg of hard cider displayed as the
insignia of his frugality and plainness.
We don't do it any more. We leave the
log cabin to the tom show" parade
and hard cider has long ago changed
to vinegar. We do not need them
We haven't time to use them. We are
too busy doing things worth while.
The last charge to be made against
us Is that Of apathy. We are a wide
awake busy people. We have only APP
piled to politics the same good COM
mon sense that we do to buying
horse or farm We look candidates
and policies over and take the ones
that seem to offer US the best bargain.
And 1t happens with the one as with
the other, occasionally touch of
heaves or crooked abstract makes Of
1t a bad bargain.
This campaign has not fairly started.
The few weeks that remain will fur
nish all the excitement needed. Things
will begin to warm up as the day OF
election draws near. Even now the
vast majority Of voters know exactly
how they are going to mark their bal
lots. This is not apathy but conclusion
arrived at But it Is well that all re-
publicans should be alert to the fact

The dissimilarity of the standards

Asiatic mainland and Japan, makes
Australians anxious for the preserva-
ton of their own conditions The prox-
unity of their country to the Asiatic
mainland and their lesser strength
gives them more fear of the Yellow
Peril than the United States needs
to feel.
That is why the Australians feel a
greater bond of interest with our
country than they have for Great
Britain and have taken this opportun-
ty to show it.
When the Yellow Peril is considered
it is always with Japan in mind. for
without the leadership of that powerful
nation the Chinese and East Indian
Asiatics would not constitute a grave
problem.
In reality the Yellow Peril, as mean

The CASE OF CLARKE.

The case of r. E. Clarke's putative
candidacy for standpat standard bear
err as developed in Tuesdays discus
sion at Des Moines, is worth a pause
for consideration. It is typical OF .
condition in present state politics. 1t is
reported that Clarke's candidacy was
looked upon with so much favor that
even the afternoon editions of Des
Moinss' standpat newspaper predicted
his selection. He was Roosevelt ap-
pointee and could ride on the admin
istration's prestige. He was = dis
tinguished leader of union labor and
could cut into Cummins where the lat
ter was strong. He seemed to have all
the elements of availability until let
ter OF his was sprung. This letter
seems to have made everything else
,mpotent. Upon the death of Senator
Allison Mr.. Clarke wrote a letter TO
Governor Cummins saying that he had
voted for Allison in the June primary
but that now he believed Cummins was
entitled to the united support of the
republican party for senator. This was
a frank expression Of his, unsolicited.
j. spoke the truth as he saw 1t un-
biased by personal ambition and, while
it would bave been entirely legitimate
for Mr. Clarke to have become can
di6ate against Cummins when the OPP
'porsunity arose, the honest confession
contained III the letter seemed to make
him impossible.
What MIR Clarke had written IN the
letter was repeated by hundreds OF otn-
.er republicans who had supported
Cummins The opinion that with Al
lison dead Cummins was the logical
candidate might be said to have been
general all over Iowa 1t was given
expression by the Davenport Times, an
Allison paper, which openly adyo-
Gated the selection of Cunsmins II
seemed but natural that the man al
ready preferred even to Allison by Co.
600 republicans should be the legiti-
mate choice Of the party with Allison
dead. Clarke's letter spoke the mind
of the best republicanism of Iowa.
What was it that changed the sit
uation so as to bring Mr.. Clarke up
for consideration as a candidate him-
self? The same mails which brought
to the executives office letters of the
Clarke kind also brought information
of determination of an implacable
democratic rather than permit the log
ical candidacy of Cummins to succeed
fractional opponents were determined
upon defeating republican nominees
for the legislature who favored Cum
Minis. fractional friends We're arrning
to retaliate BY defeating republican
nominees for the legislature. who would
not favor Cummins. BY the time this
information had made a democratic
legislature q certainty, special pri-
mary which should settle the senator
ship by vote OF the whole party and
remove the temptation to annihilate
Legislators became necessity. The 2ri-
mary provided there was nothing left
to the implacables but to put up an
opposing candidate, hence the lconsid-
GRAFTON of Clarke, hence the disclosure
of Clarke's letter speaking the honest
sentiment of the more rea sonable class
OF republicans and finally the candi-
dacy Of Lacey. Anything and all to
beat Cummins.

reactipg were the entire number Of
pure bred animals purchased.
The son, starting out for himself on
a neighboring farm, secured from his
father about dozen head of this same
herd. After the test of the fathers
tested, Of which six reacted. There is
every probability that the entire pur-
chased herd was affected when
bought.
If the purchasing public would only
require test made of stock at time
of purchase, the continual spread of
this disease thruout our state would
be largely stopped. 1t is highly de-
srable that this condition be brought
about as a result of education, but
there is no law of compulsory char
acter that would be SO effective in
checking the ravages of this disease
as one which would require at time of
transfer the examination of all breed
ing and dairy stock. This certainly Is
matter Of supreme Importance to the
dairy interests of the state. and should

Hog Cholera.
In the way of treatment the United
States bureau of animal industry has
discovered a vaccine which saves about
80 odd per cent after cholera appears
in a herd, and a larger per cent If vac
cinated before the disease is intro
duced. Time will demonstrate the prac-
ticability of this method The bacter-
iology department of the Kansas State
Agricultural college is also working
along these lines. but is not yet ready
to announce anything but progress.
When symptoms of cholera appear in
a herd, it is wise to dip the whole
herd, disinfect their quarters thorough
ly, give them slight change in feed.

How Tuberculosis Spreads.

In the tuberculosis testing work
which is being carried on by the ex-
pertinent station, we are collecting
evidence as to how the disease is first
introduced into herds. The proof is
overwhelming in the great majority OF
instances that the purchase of animals
affected in the early stages is the most
common method of introduction.
The following instance is one which
has recently come to our attention.
and shows in so striking a manner
the absolute necessity of purchasers
of stock determining its condition at
the time of purchase, that thought 1T
might be interesting to the readers OF
your columns.

ties of the state, bought few years
AGO from a farmer in one of the south

purchased another animal which, how
ever, has not apparently done well.
