NEW TACK TAKEN ON JUDGES

FuruIsh Certified Returns.

LINCOLN, Jan. 7.--(special telegram
BY a strict party vote the senate to-
night. after the inaugural ceremonies,
ordered the secretary OF state to furnish
them with certified copy of the election
returns cast on the two constitutional
amendments In November. Earlier in the
day a similar motion by Ransom of Doug
las was not acted upon and an appeal
from the decision of the chair in ruling
II out of order was sustained
This puts II UP to the secretary of state
whether he will obey the senate and prob
ably raises a technically different ques-
tion than the one of handing over the
original returns. II the senate secures
the certified copy, It evidently is the In
teEtion to have the legislature canvass
the vote on this authority and proceed
with the effort, in which Governor
shell6nberger concurs, TO name four new
judges
BY this method II would be possible 70
test their right to sit. by quo warranto
suit-the plan most favored by the DEM

morrow.

SOME PROBLEMS.

AS the year is rapidly fastening to
a close and it is generally in order to
start cut with new resolutions on the
first of the year, now is an appropriate
time to begin doing a little planning
for the coming year.
To begin with, we haven't all the
things as a city and parish that we
might and should have. among them
first, thoroughly good roads all the
year round, rain or shine. Good roads
cost money, but that should not be
prohibitive. We may not be able to
build macadamized roads owing to
their cost, we may not be able even
to oil the roads; but there is no rea-
son why we can't build good dirt
roads. That's practically a matter of
drainage. Keep the roads well drained
and they will be good. Now how to
accomplish this with the money avail
able is one of the things we should
all consider and take counsel on.
Another thing that we should plan
about is how to increase the produc-
tivity of our soil. This is mostly the
problem of the farmer; nevertheless
there are some who may not farm
who can give some good counsel and
cite excellent examples of achieve
ments by others. All who can give
aid or advice should assist in this eff
fort to increase the yield of the land,
and the more economically this great
err yield can be accomplished the
greater the benefit to all.
Another thing that deserves and
ought to have the attention and appli-
cation of all who can, is to devise
means to have things used here,
ufactured here. There are many
things that could be made here that
II bought by the users of the parish
would support a fairly paying indus
try and provide employment for a
number of people at good wages. This
is II of the things that we should
plan to realize the coming year.
Another and quite important thing
that we should give careful attention
to, though very many of rs do not
really appreciate the great importance
of it, is the buying at home. Keep
money at home in circulation in your
own town and you will see business
boom, industries flourish, people have
employment and values increase, just
in proportion to the amount of money
circulating. 1t does not matter how
much money there is in the United
States, nor how large the bank de-
posits are, if money is not circulating
in your town and parish. 1t Is the
active money that helps you both to
sell. buy and get employment. There
is. really SO little money circulating
in proportion to the amount of bust
mesa, done that that alone should be
q striking lesson to all to never send
money out of ones own community
II it can possibly be helped. Buying
cheap and saving a few cents may
seemingly be profitable, but remem-
Der that IL steamboats, sell for twenty
five cents each and you haven't the
quarter, you are as bad OF as if they
were worth millions. Sending the
one away from your home soon
puts the community without money
to buy, high or cheap.
The above are a few Of the things
that all may well ponder and plan
over. and IL we can measureably solve
these problems the coming year we
may we'll congratulate ourselves. Let
us all hope that we may.

particular forte seems to be in the
discovery Of 'jokers' in tariff sched-

line. are most entertaining. Says
Senator Clapp:
Take for instance, the the item of

The Ravages Of the Fly.
New Orleans States.

New orleans States.
In a recent address to the New
Jersey Sanitary Association, DR.. Dan.
iel D. Jackson of New York declared
that on the present basis of scientific
knowledge he believed that two years
might be added to every average hui.
man life in the United States if the
transmission of various diseases by
the common house fly was prevented
by the destruction of the pestiferous
insects. He figures that the elimina.
ton of flies as disseminators of a mum.
Der of maladies, and especially ty-
phoid, would mean a saving of 49,.
000. 900 years of the human life, or
about 10000 lives of the present
average length, and a money saving
Of twenty billions of dollars.
Aside from this, there would be a
vast saving to the human race of suf.
fering and worry caused by illness
that is not fatal. Most people who
have neither the time nor the inclina-
ton to study statistics or hygiene
will regard DIR. Jackson's talk as ex-
travagant and not sustained by proof,
but it is well to remember that for
years the ablest doctors and medical
publications have sought to impress
the general public with the necessity
of destroying the house fly in the in
terest Of health and cleanliness, and
it is encouraging to note that the
labor is gradually bearing fruit.
A few years age the average indi-
vidual would have laughed at the
theory of the transmission of disease
by insects and animals, but the cor
rectness of the theory has been es-
tablished by the patient researches
and experimentation of the medical
scientists. Yellow fever has been ban
ished from Havana and Panama as
the result of the destruction by mod
ern sanitary methods Of the breeding
places Of the stegomyia mosquito, the
war on rats stamped out the bubonic
plague in San Francisco, and wher-
ever a systematic effort has been
made to abate the fly nuisance the
number Of cases Of typhoid has been
greatly diminished.

armies Of Japan suffered but little
