NOISE AS CAUSE OF INSANITY.


Prof. Rubner, of the University of
Berlin. has just invented registering
apparatus which enables one to calcu-
late the number of noise waves which
strike upon the ear in any given per-
iod
The new apparatus invented by Rub
ner proves beyond question that the
prolonged labor-it Is none the less
existent, tho we are frequently uncon-
scious of ito which the acoustic
nerve is subjected, in large cities or in
large establishments, has the effect,
ultimately, of paralyzing its efficiency,
and, consequently, of creating breach
in the intellectual center which, as far
as the brain is concerned, may be the
beginning of cerebral dissolution.
Rubner points the moral Of his in
vestigation by showing that insanity Is
rare among the inhabitants Of moleG!!
ately sized country towns. It 10. az
says, greatest in cities and in gre q
solitudes On the principle Of - y
identity OF countries" according toSfIA
gel, continuous existence in a tpdnIzs
like silence would have as bad an an
feet upon the brain as the pandemonS
al noises Of a vast city, and to avs
cause is attributed the fact that wsee1
townsmen lose their way in the. wtG
erness, the terrible silence is the first
reason of their invariably being found
in state of chattering insanity by
their rescuers.
Dr. TIL. Leasing, of Munich, has also
undertaken the study of noises and the
effect of them in shortening human life
by a process of simple attrition or
wearing away of nerve tissue.

If there is any chance OF forcing a

son is now democratic congressman
from the state of Alabama and Is busy
ting himself between sessions at Wash

lecturing ON war matters, OF which
some people consider him an authority.
incidentally he is putting forth on the
side the idea that Japan is doing ey-
s.erything in her power to get into
shape to take this country on in
bloody conflict with the hope of wrest-
ing from the United States its pres

Editor w. d. Jameson. Of the Shen-

\ Washington, July Sit will require
an army of 10000 people to take the
thirteenth census in 1910. The task OF
making the enumeration of the 90,O00,-
600 people in the United States, Alas
ka Hawaii and Porto Rico and in
Guam, Samoa and the Panama canal
zone will be one of enormous proper
lions. 1t will be the most gigantic work
of enumeration that has ever been at
tempted in this or any other country,
and 1t is intended to reach the acme of
correctness and thoroughness. Not
merely a count and compilation con-
cerning the population alone. it will in
clude a census of agriculture, manu-
features, mines and quarries.
Director S. N. d. North of the CEN
sus bureau is already getting ready for
the thirteenth census. He has been
planning on it for year or more. 1t
was hoped by Mr.. North that the
Crumpacker bill to provide for the
thirteenth and subsequent decennial
censuses would be passed the last ses-
sion of congress. But it failed of en-
actment along with numerous other
measures of Importance by reason OF
the rush at the close Of the session and
the anxiety of the congress leaders to
hurry the session to an end.
The Crumpacker bill, however, will
doubtless be passed early the next ses-
sion. It Is the first bill of high priv
ilege in the house calendar, and 1t Is
expected 1t will be taken up the first
or second day Of the session and dis
posed of by the house. It has not yet
been acted on by the senate commit
held back until the house had oppor-
tunity to pass the measure. No delay
in the senate. either in committee or on
the floor. is anticipated.
1t will cost about S14,o00.000 to take
the thirteenth census, but this is not
carried in the Crumpacker bill, as 1t is
on the house calendar. 1t was in the
bill at first, but the speaker and Chair
man Tawney of the house committee
on appropriations thought it unwise to
make SO large an authorization year
before it would be used and there was
also feeling that the appropriation
should be put in one of the regular APP
preparation bills. as the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial bill. The coming
session of congress will no doubt APP
propriate literally for census pur-
poses.

Important changes in the talking and
compilation of the census and in the
method of publication Of the returns
will be made. For one thing. the re-

when man stops to think about 1t
there Is great deal Of sympathy felt
for the druggist who stood up before
his convention and seriously proposed
that ell druggists cut out their booze
business. The drug business purely Is
an honorable, dignifled and highly
profitable branch OF retail merchan-
diSing. It is conducted by experts who
must study the pharmacy profession
and pass state examination. The drug
store Is the common gathering place
for the influential citizens OF eaoh
community and, as a rule. the druggist
is leader himself.
But the booze business is degrading
the line. In the first place public sentl-
mont and public discussion is more and
more associating the drug store with
illegal sales OF liquor.
The wit Of the day emphasizes the
booze business of a drug store and
finally the long profits in drug store
whisky have attracted to the business
class Of men who would not dignity
any profession.
So general has become the suspicion
OF drug store business that many a
self respecting druggist feels sensitive
about it. He may be turning manfully
away from the temptation of profits In
the booze business yet be conscious
that many good people suspect him
Just the same. 1t is not surprising that
8 he breaks out in a convention with the
proposition that druggists appeal to
the legislature to prohibit all druggists
from selling booze. He wants to purify
5 his profession from the faint of sus-
6picion. He wants the sellers of booze
/ to be labelled as distinguishable from
the sellers of medicine He would have
them find comfort by consort with the
Keepers of saloons. He wants to get
away from the obliquy which embar-
rasses the respectable saloon keeper
who finds the public SO unwilling to
distinguish him from the dive keepers
and disreputahes in his line. Let's
honor the druggist who would cut out
the booze.

BOLTiNG THE PLATFORM.

Those who have been throwing ecom-
iums in the direction of Vinton for the
gentleman who was supposed to be a
4 good loser should begin to recall them.
He has disclosed his real self and his
attitude is anything but regular. For
instance the T.-R. had advised the
present governor to resign whenever he
wanted to, which advice seems to have
been ignored by the governor but the
Vinton politician replies:
s Why did not the editor advise the
governor two years ago not to be a
candidate again? He might have saved
the governor and the republican party
d great deal of trouble. OF what adj
vantage to the party or to the people
mas been the third term of the govern
sor Not any, except to breed turmoil
Within the party ranks"
Now think of that when the republic
an state platform on which this cam
spaign is being waged goes into detail
to specify the 2-cent fare law, the anti
pass law, the statewide primary law,
the law prohibiting campaign contri-
buttons from corporations and the law
preventing watered stock as the great
and glorious achievements under the
sincere and able leadership Of Albert B.
Cummins" The gentleman who would
quarrel about these things in the midst
of campaign is trying to repudiate
his party platform.
Then as an evidence Of Ill humor as
well as irregularity the vinton polite
ian complains:
The fact is the governors political
career for the past three years has
been governed by a lot Of advisers like
the editor Of the Marshalltown Times
Republican, who had in mind their own
wishes a great deal more than they
had the comfort and welfare OF the
governor himself"
I Poor newspapering for 1t misleads
the reader. The editor Of the T.-R. has
never been candidate for office.
There could not have been self inter-
est in the advice which tho governor
seems to pass by unnoticed.

rregation in the denomination, was
asked:
What must a minister do to sue

mo, and the church is to blame. A
minister sacrifices the future of his
family and works all his life to be-
come a beggar in his old age. When
years and physical infirmities take him
from the pulpit he virtually goes from
door to door for living. Young men
are impressed the wrong way by such
q sight. The ministry must be ex-
allied by the people themselves. l see

opportunities that may finally make
them the partners of their employers.
"The potato dealer and the calico
merchant and their preachers have
technically the same religion, and. sup

but the potato man and the calico
man are quite content to let the
preachers pull the load while they sit
