WASHINGTON POLITICIANS SAY
THAT IS MEANING OF CHOICE
OF BURROWS FOR TEMPORARY
CHAIRMAN OF CONVENTION.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Presi-
don't Roosevelt is greatly displeased
NV the selection of Senator j. G.
burrows. an anti-administration
man. as temporary chairman of the
ron,blican national convention. In
or;rv at the White House as to how
a suited was met by basilisk stare
and THAT is one of the subjects we
ora not discussing" To a visitor,
however, the president character
,zed it as an Outrage"
Republican politicians we're star
tied last night by the report that
the president was SO angry that he
threatened to carry the fight against
Burrows into the convention. In
This connection he related how he
himself had led movement In the
convention Of 1884, when Powell
CLAYTON, who had been selected for
Temporary chairman, had been turn
ed down and John R. Lynch (color-
ed) OF Mississippi elected In his
stead.
Roosevelt's choice for temporary
chairman this year was Senator Bev-
eridge, and he had gone so far as to
write a personal letter to Chairman
New urging 1T. Naming the tempo
rary chairman is one Of the rights
of the national chairman. but Mr..
New lodged by leaving the selection
to the subcommittee Of the national
committee. Ff ~
Leading republicans in Washing
ton say that it is notice to the presi-
dent that the party will now take
charge Of the campaign; that the
interests that opposed Taft are still
within the republican party ant
must be kept there SO the selection
of Senator Burrows, not Taft man
is in the direction Of conciliation.
The same idea that dictated tn
selection of Burrows has brough
Secretary Cortelyou to the front TO-
vice president. If Taft represent
the radical or Roosevelt ideas, Cor
telyou would be the best possible as
surance to the interests that nj
harm Is meant.

In this condition persons affected
are soon compelled to remain in bed,
and from this time begins struggle
for health aud life lasting a number of
weeks.
In this brief article We have en-
desvored to shoE that typhoid fever
is diseaIs of great antiquity that it
has probably existed in the world since
human beings reached that primitive
stage of civilization 10 which they be-
gan to dwell together in communities
and tribes that it follows the wake of
civilization because Of the aggregation
of people aud the inevitable increase
of animal lif, th,t ii is chiefly, if not
entirely. due to the pollution Of soil,
water aud food by dscaying animal
matter, that such soil pollution results
in the development of the germs as
the typhoid bacillus; that this germ
is capable of living in ice, during freez
ing and thawing, and in dry state in
dust and or furniture, floors, bedding
and other surfaces; that it lives in the
soil for FIVE or six months and in i'm
pure water for 80 days, living longer
in stagnant than in running water t;
that soil pollution is most frequently
caused by the proximity Of barnyards,
stables, cattle sheds, chicken houses,
pig stYes and closets to water used for
drinking and household purposes; that
the disease is contracted by the bacilli
entering the body via the digestive
tract, the germs nearly always enter
ing the mouth With food and drink,
passing through the stomach to the in.
testinee, where they multiply in enor-
nous numbers; that the period of in
cubstion usually varies from 10 to 20
days, but may vary from one to three
weeks or longer and that the fever
begins with weakness, muscular pains,
headache, thirst and some cases with
nosebleed and diarrhea.
