Senator Rayner of Maryland endeav.
ored few days ago to have the senate
adopt resolution calling on the attorney
general for information as to whether the
president had ordered suit brought against
the New York World and indianapolis
News because of alleged libelous charges
made in these papers relating to the pur.
chase of the Panama canal property.
Senator Rayner who is regarded as a
greatsconstitutional lawyer declared that
there was no law authorizing such pro-
cedure aud that any attempt on the part
of the president to prosecute these papers
Ia the name Of the United States, would
be simply an attempt to revive, the sedition
laws which were long ago repealed.
1t is not because the United States has
been libefed that the president is so en-
ragged but because his own part in the
Panama transaction has been questioned
and because it is altogether probable that
if the facts were known the president
would be placed in anything but an en-
viable light before the country. For this
reason the president seeks, in the name
Of the United States. and by involving all
its power, to crush the papers that have
dared 10 reflect upon his official integrity.
The sedition laws to which reference Is
made were repealed for the reason that
they were used as a cloak for the most
infamous crimes against the liberties of
the citizen and against free speech and a
free press.
The president in his spectacular on
alaught upon the New York World is
simply hiu6ing. After March 4th he will
be harmless. His fangs will be extracted

Labor Commissioner w. NJ. Maupin, of
Nebraska, pays glowing tribute to the
hen, and shows what she has been doing
for that State, and it is safe to say the
statistics In every agricultural State, in
proportion to its size, will measure up to
Nebraska, when the hen is considered.
Here is what the Commissioner has TO
say about the Nebraska hen: ;.
We've talked about the steer and the
dairy COW and the hog until we have
fallen into the habit of thinking that the
hen is side issue, so to speak. why,
she brought SIS, 1000. 600 worth of eggs TO
market in Nebraska last year, to say
nothing Of the value of her offspring in
the way of fried chicken. She laid
I.2oo, ooo, 900 eggs in 1908. Placed end
TO end these egg would reach around The
earth and then overlap $4,000 miles.
They would furnish the and part of a
ham and breakfast for Goo, ooo, 900
people. and make au omelette contain
lag Gas, 900 cubic feet. If the Nebraska
ben laid $I8.ooo.ooo worth of eggs in
1908, and her offspring was worth one
halfas much more in the shape of fried
chicken aud chicken pie. the hen was
worth more to Nebraska than our boosted
wheat crop of SAC. 900. 900; almost twice
as much as our oat crop of 10000, 900;
twenty times as much as our barley crop.
twenty-times as much as our rye crop and
one third as much as our corn crop-and
we have talked about our corn crop until
ell the world knows Nebraska beats them
all. Really we ought to have new seal
for this great state. and when 1t is design.
ed we ought to insist that the Nebraska
hen receive proper recognition thereon. .

TUBERCULOSIS NOTES.
The Fight Against Consumption All
over the World.

According to report issued recently
by the Local Government Board of Lon.
don, the number OF deaths from tuber-
culosis in England and Scotland has de-
creased by one third in the last so years,
falling from 54,9I8 in 1858 to 1916 dur
ing the past year, while the death rate per
10000 of population has fallen more than
one. half, or from 2o.8 TO IT'S In Ireland
on the contrary, the death rate per 10000
has increased in 30 years from "a to a.
DR.. Arthur Newsholme attributes the de-
crease in the mortality from consumption
in England to effective segregation and
institutional treatment Of the advanced
cases of the disease, which are known to
be the centres of infection and spread of
tuberculosis. The Irish medical authori
ties attribute the increase in the amount
of tuberculosis to combination of poor
housing, insufficient and nnnourishing
food, bad sanitation, especially in the
schools, and the large Irish emigration
