Brown of Missouri. who once went to the White House to give the newly elected executive some pointers about his cabinet. While he was waiting in the ante room he accosted a man who. had just come into the room and was glancing over a paper. "l suppose that you are here on the same errand that I am," he remarked. q don't know," replied the stranger, pleas antly: "what errand are you on :? Pm going to tell that old chump in there how to fix his cabinet" /" No, l cant say that l am on that errand." Maybe you ain't poli- tician?" "No," returned the stranger, politely; "I'm the old chump.' Gen. Brown was not in the new cabinet.-San Francisco Argo- naut.

------------7--- NATIONAL MILITARY SCHOOL.

This is an age of specialization, and West Point specializes with the rest of the world. It is emphatically a great military training school pure and simple. It may even be called a great military university. As such it has followed the course of other American universities in steadily raising admission require lnents. Less than a generation ago boy who had a grammar school diploma might reasonably count on passing the entrance examination. To-day only those who have quail fled themselves in studies ordinarily pursued in high schools are entitled to approach West Point with like degree of confidence. On the whole 1t seems to us that the prospect of the military academy fulfilling the purpose of its creation is improved by the increasing stringency of re- quirements.

Disease and the House Fly.

New York has begun active war
on the house fly. basing that action
on the discoveries of archaeological
experts during the summer of
1908. when they did a fine job of
sleuthing and absolutely convicted
Mr.. Fly of transporting disease.
Flies captured in houses were
stained with brilliant dyes and re-
leased. The scientific sleuths fol-
lowed them down to the docks,
where they reveled in garbage and
filth. From their orgy of filth the
little pests returned to houses
where they would have contami-
mated food had not the sleuths cap
tured them once more and set them
to walking on sheets of gelatin. A
few days of warmth and moisture
developed the bacteria of half a
dozen deadly diseases.
The scientific proof of guilt was
so direct that a resident of German
town, Pa, who suffered from ty-
phoid, followed the same method in
suing the municipality for damages
and won a substantial verdict by
demonstrating that flies were car
ryiDg the disease from a polluted
stream into his house every day.

John Bixler was a business Wis
itor in Hannibal, Monday.

The prohibition bill passed by
the Republican house calls for the
submission of the vote in 1910. and
if carried, to 90 into effect in 1918.
The political move in this instance
is not hid from the thoughtful leg
islator. 1t is the intention of the
Republican party workers, no doubt
to place the time when the law
should 90 into effect to 1913 so that
the Democratic party that will then
no doubt be in control of the states
affairs, would have to bear the bur-
den of raising the revenue lost from
the sale of intoxicants. The only
way to raise this revenue is by tax
alton, and the Republicans know
ing, this, hope to place the odium
upon the Democratic party. 1t is q
thinly yelled piece of corrupt poll
tics, and we trust the Democratic
senators will not be caught by such
treachery. Take off the time limit
and if we are to have prohibition
let us have it at once. : Milar
