ing out in the armature of the large
generator at the electric light plant
Workmen were busy repairing the
new machine which has recently been
received at the plant when the coils
in the armature of the large generator
burned out. Work was being done on
the new commutator yesterday after
noon, which was put on the armature
of the new arc machine which was
being run by the generator, knocked
out when the armature coils .fizzled."
The new machine was ready to run
last evening but was useless when the
4 large generator burned out. The
foreman who is experimenting the
work being done by the mechanics at
the light plant, stated this morning
that the arcs would probably be turn
ed on in three or four evenings and
several men are at work repairing the
generator.
i Last evening was the first time
since the new engine was installed
that the arc lights have failed to shine
when they were scheduled to be turn
ed on, but the accident to the gen.
orator is only slight and everything
will be working shortly at the plant.

Nathan straus Of New York Warns the
World Against Tuberculosis
Milk at the Budapest
Dairy Congress.
DISEASE ON INCREASE
New York Has an Increase in New
tuberculosis Cases of SO Per
cent in the Past Two
Years.

BUDAPEST, June THE extinc-
tion of the human race through the
use of tuberculosis milk, unless the
world awakens to the gravity of the
evil, was the direful prophecy of Ma
than Straus, the New York philan-
tropist, made today before the Inter-
national Dairy congress.
He declared the spread of tuber-
culosis among the cattle and human
family is due to the use of tubercu-
lous milk. The Straus paper was
read by another delegate, the author
being unable to attend Mr.. Straus
said.
"Tuberculous cows bear healthy
calves. and straightway infect them
with this disease through the milk
which they give them. When the
! calves are weaned these cows supply
milk containing germs of tuberculosis
! to the human beings who use theil
milk. We are inviting the exter
mination of the dairy industry, ant
of the human race, for this plague is
increasing among cattle and men,
AS for the consequences of dair,
selling tuberculous milk, Straus point
ed out that there has been, in New
4 York City, in two years, an increas
! of SO per cent in the number of ney
cases of tuberculosis. He said:
Bovine tuberculosis now costs tn
American farmer $14,oo0,000 yearly
The immediate killing of all tubercr
lous cows, if it could be effected
would cost billion. The only saf
alternative is the pasteurization of a
milk from infected COWS .

Revise the Tariff Downward.

When a concern can ship its manu-.
factures to Europe and sell them
cheaper there than they do here II
may still need to be protected from
the competition of cheap foreign
labor, but we don't think so. Does it
look reasonable to you? We believe
that concern is not going to the ex-
pense of shipping goods to Europe
unless they can make fair profit on
chem. Further we believe that If
after going to large expense to get
them there, that If they can still sell
them cheaper than they do at home
that the American consumer is being
imposed upon. 1t is just such condi-
tions as these that has caused the
great popular demand for a revision
of the tariff downward and the people
will not be satisfied until they get 1t.
Mr.. Aldrlch apd his colleagues If they
continue in their present course of
revising the tariff upward will find
that they must answer to the people.
Under the present high protective
tariff rates the cost of living increases
every year and wages remain station
cry. This means that a few benefit
by 1t while the great mass of the
people suffer from it, The Republican
party Is pledged to a reduction of
tariff rates on necessities. President
Taft has convened the present special
session of congress to make good that
pledge. Senator Aldrich and his
colleagues seem to think however that
the placing of few unknown and un-
heard of products on the free list and
increasing the rate on the necessities
of life is keeping of that pledge,
Such a revision may satisfy the Steel
Trust, Standard oil, Beef Trast,
Sugar Trust and a few others but the
people will not be satisfied and should
not be.
