Ten COWS in three diaries supplying milk
n Omaha have been condemned by c. c.
Hall, u. V. s, city veterinarian, for hav-
ing tuberculosis. and the condemned cows
will be killed. The cows In one other dairy
have so far been Inspected, but no signs
OF tuberculosis we're discovered. The city
veterinarian is working in the dairies every
day and hopes to complete the inspection
in a month.
Six OF the COWS condemned belonged IN
the herd Of ten in Sam p. sorenson's dairy
at Sixth street and Avenue X, East Omaha
two belonged to a herd of eleven in C. L.
Christensen's dairy at Fifth street and
Avenue X. East Omaha. and two belonged
to a herd OF forty-six in Dr. B. p. Davis
dairy on the Dodge street road, about nine
miles west of the city. The other dairy
Inspected was that of l.. c. Christensen IN
East Omaha, but his fifteen cows were
found free Of tuberculosis.

All Consent to Test.
All the dairies in East Omaha have con-
scented to the tuberculin test and the city
veterinarian will work there first. The
city ordinance provides that cows in q
dairy can be inspected only when one COW
appears to have tuberculosis. II on inspec-
ton this COW Is found to be infected then
the inspector can inspect the rest of the
here. Cows found free of tuberculosis are
tagged in the ear and a certificate showing
the herd to be free is given to the owner
OF the dairy. For this reason the health
commissioner believes the owners Of all
dalries, whether any of the cow appear
to have tuberculosis or not. will consen
to tests being made because consumers will
not care to buy milk of diaries where the
COWS have not been inspected.
The cow are tested by Withholding food
for two days. The temperature is taker
every two hours on both days and II thii
varies two or more degrees on the SECOND
day after tuberculin has been injected the
COW Is condemned.

Needle Peddler Airs Constitutional

l.. r. Rogers, a needle peddler who Just
arrived in Omaha Friday, believes in stand
ing up for his inherent rights. When ar
raisned in police court Saturday and asked
to plead to the charge of peddling without
a license he demanded OF City Prosecutor
Daniel:
Did you see me?'
No" said the prosecutor, but others
did"
But that was too much for Rogers and
he took several minutes to overcome mis-
ruffled temper. When he succeeded, after
putting up a marvellous talk, which no
body understood, about constitutional
rights and numerous other things. the
judge deemed It wise to discharge him be-
fore he could get up steam again,
Rogers left with the, advice ringing in
his ears that he had better get a license
before he exercised his constitutional rights
any further in police court.

1t may be all right, but it looks
queer that congress should appro-

president in running about the coun-
try like a prize bull at country
fair, so soon after elevating his
salary from $4,000 to $4,000 per

fact, that he has called a confer
ence of the republican leaders to
talk over the question of retrench-
ment IN government expenditures.
And then, it is expected that the
chief executive will remain at the
national capitol and earn his salary

strates that he is a man of wonder

However much we may be opposed
to his tariff views, all must admire
the man for his much strength of
character and LOYALTY to his friends
the trusts.
President Taft has made himself
solid with an overwhelming major
lty OF the people of this country re-
gardless of their political affiliations
and sympathies by his expressed
determination to make both the re-
publican and democratic parties
live up to their platform pledges
and give the people a downward
revision of the tariff. His position
should be a rebuke to every mem

Aldrich bill, including our junior
senator, who talked free lumber be-

tariff sharks.
The holding of great fortunes is
not SO much a menace to the coun-
try as is the habit of worshiping
those who hold them. The rich
man is deferred to, when, outside
OF money getting, his opinion may
not be worth as much as that of a
matchmaking blacksmith. But
who takes the blacksmith's opinion
against that of the millionaire?
The latter's money talks. 1t is the
habit of hating, fearing or worship
ping the rich man that makes him
dangerous to the community.
It will certainly be exceedingly
satisfactory to the American people
when Ambassador Reid ceases to
misrepresent this country at the
Court Of St. James, England. He
has tettered around and aped the
aristocracy of Great Britain until
every true American is thoroughly
disguised with him. Democratic
simplicity, is what the people of
this country demands of its repre-
sentatives at foreign courts
who will not forget their humble
democratic birth.

or three years ago.
An astronomer mas discovered
a comet with a tail 200, 900, 900
miles long. Some tales of woe
and hard luck we have heard, SEEM

The best evidence that there is
nothing wrong with business is that
it improves while Congress fingers
over the tariff. If thus handicap
ped by talk it advances, think what
strides it will make with the ad-
verse condition removed.
A Chicago woman wants d.
vorce because her husband plays
poker. There ought to be some
way to head off the constant loser
other than forcing his wife into the
divorce court.
If Mr.. Taft thinks Southern
Democrats have no fondness for

coming to him, all right.
The vatermelons coming to the

Christian missionaries, as we'll as

South Carolina tea wants a pro-

We cannot say that we are sorry
that Pittsburg, where the ball

WHO is PATTEN?

The best truest description of
Patten the man who engineered the
big wheat corner that we hrve seen
is written by Ebert Hubbard in
the Phillistine.
Here it is:
ames A. Patten, who squeezed
down the size of a loaf from four
teen ounces to eleven ounces, pro-
duces no wheat grinds no flour and
makes no bread.
He does not SOW wheat nor
reap it. All he does is to seize
the wheat which the farmer grows
and block its natural flow to the
people who need it. He locks up
wheat and compels the people who
need it to pay him vast sums.
Patten speculates in wheat.
"Patten fondly imagines that
he is a business man.
Everybody eats bread, except
ing a few rich people who eat cake.
Children eat bread, the women
who work all night cleaning the
offices in the sky-scrapers eat
bread. Patten compels these to
pay him a cent for every loaf of
bread they eat, or take home at
daylight to their children.
And yet Patten calls himself
business mana successful bust
ness man.
If he lived in small town and
would lock up the food supply COM
polling his neighbors to pay tribute,
can you guess what would happen
to Patten?
Yet Patten is very religious.
He is an Elder in a big prosper
Gus church. His prosperity minis
tiers to the prosperity of this
church. He is a Sunday-School
Superintendent, and is very jealous
in his "Church Work."
Question: If Christ came to Chi
cago what would he think of Pat
tens Church? And would Patten
patronize him and call him
"Master?"
History is repeating itself. The
so-called christian church at the
present day is in about the same
condition that the Jewish church
was at the time of the advent of
Jesus Christ and is largely con-
trolled by the Pharasee class. 1t
has Joined hands with mammon
and is Walking to the music of the
world. There is little or no spirit
ual life lett in the church except
in isolated cases. There are many
good men in the churches, but the
money power cripples its progress
and usefulness. It has stood as
barrier against all reform move
ments and was the defender of hu-
man slavery in this country. If
the church was permeated with the
spirit of the Master as it should be,
the powers of darkness could soon
disappear and the redemptive
period be at hand, and peace and
Joy be universal.

| have heard that every one of

man to man no doubt, but each of
US has a patch Of feeble and par

US call it the idiotic area in the
brain. Professors have it, re-
formers, judges. clergymen have
it. 1t fourishes among politicians.
In the gay and fashionable set of
city, where the slavish imitation of
extravaganza and mannerism be-
comes a sacred code, this idiotic
area is said by shrewd observers
to be dangerously enlarged. Not
one OF US escapes. 1t is the object
of education to narrow that area
Just as much as possible. Obliter-
ate it altogether is impossible.
However diminished, it still re-
mains the source of our pet super
stltions and illusions. The great
soldier Wellington once met and
talked with Lord Nelson without
any hint that he had before him
the hero of Trafalgar. When the
Duke went away, he thought he
had been talking to a half-fool.
Well, the conqueror of Napoleon
happened to catch the great sea
tighter outside his speciality. He
caught him on his idiotic area.
For the moment, Nelson blazed

are our kings and masters and they
have only done what most men

There is not in my heart one bitter
emotion toward these victors in the
competitive struggle, but nothing
known to me is at the present time
SO important as the social response

masters ought to recognize. If we
all have the idiotic area, they toe
must have their little or their big

ssary for good business; that we
