specially obtained from the health officer.
The authorities have come to recognize
the fact that the complaint against the
keeping of chickens in town is based upon
something more than mere dislike of
noise. The doors from a chicken yard
are known to be unwholesome. especially
when the fowls are kept in restricted
space. Now that a regulation has been
adopted which 1t is believed will stand the
court tests 1t should be strictly enforced.

Chickens and Disease.

The correspondent whose letter to The
Star is printed today in another part of
the paper regarding possible connection
between chickens. flies and typhoid fever
was evidently unaware when he wrote
this letter that new police regulation
is about to ne enforced aiming at the
very nuisance of which he complains.
For several years some of the citizens
of Washington have been endeavoring to
persuade the District government of the
necessity of enforcing some form of re-
striction upon the keeping OF fowls in the
city Finally a rule OF this character was
adopted, but upon the first application it
was resisted and finally the Court of
Appeals declared it void on the ground
OF discrimination and vagueness of terms
Now a new rule has been written, and it
is hoped that II will Withstand the court
test and effectively regulate the practice
of keeping chickens in town
The Stars correspondent suggests that
typhoid fever is spread by flies swarnins
around the chicken houses and yard This
is by no means an improbable PROPOSE
ton. Typhoid is filth disease and it is
known to be communicated by flies Ger
tainly the average chicken house is an
unclean place. and as such is to be re-
earded as a nuisance, tolerable only when
il becomes necessary in the way of trade
The new regulation is calculated to limit
the keeping of fowls 20 a small proper
ton. Under il chickens cannot be kept
at all within 100 feet Of a dwelling save

Two Miles a Minute

young New Jersey man Is now en-
gagged IN establishing new worlds records
for automobile speed. The other day on
private track he sent 149-herse car at
the rate of 100 miles an hour. This pace,
however. is not satisfactory to the young
man. who is himself the part maker of
his machine. and he is now going after a
1io-mile record. If he should reach that
point of appalling swiftness he will prob
ably not be content. but will strive to
cover the ground al the rate of $50 miles
an hour. Just what use can be made out
this speed is not easy to conceive OF
course ii could not be put through it's
PAGES on the highways, and until there
are separate roads for automobiles il
must remain merely a toy dangerous to
its user. Al 100 miles an hour the car is
going faster than any railroad train has
ever been propelled. The slightest OBJ
stacle in the track will suffice to throw 1t
out of line and cause a disaster The
driver and occupant of a car running at
this pace must he specially protected to
enable them to breath he. Such a car in
short. simply represents the craze for I'M
natural. dangerous speeding which has
ready claimed hundreds of victims in
IS country and Europe and will con-
-inue to score It's record of death until
anity returns 10 those who are thus play

Majorities, Large and Small.

Majorities have been piled high for tif-
teen years past. They were high in the
second Cleveland campaign; higher still
in the first Mckinley campaign. and
higher still in the second; while in the
Roosevelt campaign they scared. The re-
suit shows in the speculation about next
months probable figures. We are hav-
ing a hard fight in our state" one man
will tell you. but We shall give Taft
about fifty thousand majority. The re-
publicans are pressing us" a man from
another state will tell you. but l look to
see Bryan get the best of it by about
thirty thousand" Fancy a hard fight,
with majority of fifty thousand in fair
prospect Or fancy being pressed.
with thirty thousand in fair prospect.
The talk about Indiana brings out the
matter with particular emphasis 1T is
going to be squeeze with us but Taft
will pull through, His majority will be
in the neighborhood of ten thousand" A
squeeze, And ten thousand. Why, when
Indiana was a pivotal state. and. with
New York. the basis of calculation for
both parties. six or eight thousand was a
high calculation and a most welcome &C
complishment. Mr.. Hendricks. the most
popular democrat of his day. seldom got
more. and Judge Porter, a republican. in
his memorable race for governor got in
October. 1880. only about six thousand
majority. and that was accepted as fore
telling the defeat of Gen. Hancock for
President a month later.
These enormous majorities. there is
reason to believe. have hurt the republi-
cans by encoura ging factionalism In
half a dozen states they have been acting
as though they had everything in
handba sket. and could not lose. Look at
the Iowa situation. the Michigan situa-
tion. West Virginia. Illinois. Wisconsin.
Ohio and Indiana. as they existed at the
opening of the present campaign. Every
thing in a snari. Every piece of repub-
lican cold steel at the grindstone taking
on a keen edge. Every republican war
like and at war.
The peacemakers have been at work.
and have had some success. But enough?
Have they brought everybody or even a
large majority. into line? There is much
uneasiness on this score. But for these
divisions there would have been no Bryan
confidence at any time. The peerless
leader and his friends seeing the mouse so
divided concluded that it was bound to
fall, and sailed in.
Had the republicans been holding by
narrow margins none of these capers
would have been cut. Tie party could
not have afforded them. Prudence would
have been a necessity-would have i'm
posed caution and conservatism on even
the most ambitious and aggressive of the
local politicians
Good, therefore. may follow If next
months majorities show return to the
normal Where everything is one way
leadership is apt to Geteriorate and leg
islation TO show clumsiness and even reck-
iessness. A small ma jority, either In
Congress - the Electoral College. is a
brake on the wheel, and makes for
safety.
