FISH MAY BE CANCER CAUSE
Scientists Experimenting to Determine e if Disease Is Communicated
 Through Them.

Buffalo, N. Y-An investigation IS being made by the Buffalo state cancer laboratory to ascertain whether fish communicate the germs of cancer to humans by their use as food. Dr. Harvey R. Gaylcrd, head of the 1 laboratory, has announced that they are now endeavoring to definitely dis cover whether cancer is thus com municated or whether the germs are in the water and the disease imparted in that way.
 There is no certainty that cancer comes from fish said Dr. Gaylord. We are conducting a very vigorous line of experiments, however, to find out. The discovery that cancer eX- ists among fish was first made by French scientist. A study of fish has proven that the disease is quite com mon among these species of animal life It is found that the gills Of fish are the parts affected. The disease is found in many varieties of fresh water fish, and many sea fish have also been found which are so diseased.
 While Dr. Gaylord was quite guard ed in his statements as to the effects of this discovery and the result of the experiments which are now being car ried on, it is known that officials cf the state forest, fish and game com mission are much worried. It is said that when fish are cooked the cancer germs are killed. If the experiments tend to show that the streams of the state are infected by certain kinds of fish and the germs are in that way communicated to the human body, 1t may mean the exterminatiop of this fish.
 Large quantities of infected fish are now being furnished to the cancer laboratory in this city by the state hatcheries for these experiments. The fish experiments are being conducted along two lines. First, to see whether the fish infect the water in which they live, and, second, whether the cancer germs are entirely destroyed by the heat of cooking.

In his last speech in the Senate,
last week. on the pending tariff
bill, Mr.. Aldrich dealt chiefly with
the problem of raising revenue.
One Of the most striking features of
Mr.. Aldrich's speech was his state
ment that the appropriations made
last year could have been reduced
at least $50, 900. 900 without impair
ing the efficiency of the public
service. There are periods in the
life of a nation" he said, when
the spirit of extravaganza pervades
the atmosphere and the public
money is scattered right and left.
often without reference to the re-
suits to be secured. 4 hope and
expect to see radical reform in
this direction. We have within
the last few years created many
unnecessary bureaus and multiplied
employees beyond the possibility
of efficient work." Mr.. Aldrich
declared he was authorized to say
that in the work of reducing ex-
penditures and reforming methods
Of appropriation the Senate would
have the earnest support and active
cooperation of the President and
administration. Is the Senate
ready at last to reverse the pre-
cedent of generations and to CO.
operate with the House of Repre-
sentatives in reducing appropria-
tions? We sincerely hope that it is.
There is. as Senator Aldrich said,
good ground for believing that the
governments annual expenditure
can be cut $50. .ooo, 900 without
any great impairment of the effici-
ency of the public service.

Friday. April 90. 1909.

The members Of the Seventeenth
General Assembly are certainly re-
ceiving their share of free adver-
tisihg. and great cry is going up
from every hamlet and town either
for or against an extra session of
that august body. This confusion
has all been brought about by the
failure of our senators and repre-
sentatives to pass any of the bills
that SHOULD have been passed in
order to fulfill the pledges contained
in the Democratic platform. This
failure, however, should not be a
very great surprise to those familiar
with political conditions in our state.
The. Democrats pledged themselves
to enact some reform legislation If
placed in power last fall. Among
other laws promised, and the one
that attracted the most attention,
was q Direct Primary law. This
proposed primary law is supposed
to do away with gang rule in poll
tics. Now. Robert E. Speer and
Thomas M. Patterson are the ac-
knowledged leaders of the Demo
cratic party of this state, and
neither are in favor of the people
ruling. Speer knows that direct
primary law would put him out Of
business as leader of the Demo-
cratic party. and Patterson knows
the same thing and, in order to de-,
throne Speer. is in favor Of such a
law for he would rather let the
people rule than to have Speer rule,
but would much rather do the
ruling himself than to have either
Speer or the people on the job.
The Democratic party of this state.
like all other organizations, Is COM
posed Of individuals many of whom
are true and upright and are work.
ing for the best interests of the
state aud party, but the above
named bosses are not in this class.
So long as Patterson or Speer con-
troll the party we need not expect
much from platform pledges. In
the state convention of 1906 Speer
was ousted and last year Patterson
met the same fate. But the con-
vention that has enough of the
democrats spirit to turn down
both of these factions and to do
business without their advice will
have taken long step in the right
direction. Governor Shafroth, by
calling an extra session, may sue
ceed in getting some of the pledges
of his parts enacted into laws, but
he will have to overcome the in
fiuence of the ySpeer machine, and
this machine won in the last state
convention.
