RoosEvELT's ADDRESS IN
 FRANCE.

There is nothing new to the Amerf- can people in the Rooseveltian ad- dresses which are just now command ing the admiration and applause of tho French people It is nothing new for him to preach the gospel of work, of character, and of the strenuous life, or to classify the sluggards, the cynics. and the idle rich in a way that pleases the people
 The one paragraph in the speech which has attracted wide attention and comment in this country is this:
 My position as regards the mon eyed interests can be put in a few words In every civilized society, property rights must be carefully safeguarded. Ordinarily, and in the great majority of cases, human rights and prgerty rights are fundamentally and in the long run identical. But when 1t clearly appears that there Is a real conflict between them, hum an rights must have the upper hand, for property belongs to man and not m an to property"
 It is suggested that this is not only the kind of talk which is endorsed by the people of America, but the doc- Urine which congress should bear in mind when revising the tariff, study ing the cost of living and framing up railroad and conservation laws

THE RABIES.

The commissioner of domestic cat tie, Heman O. Averill. of this state. does not believe in mad dog scares. A recent excitement in the western end of the state where a strange dog was known to have bitten 25 cows, one horse. and ono man, and then
 was killed and had been buried a week before his attention was called to it.
 prompts him to call the attention of
 town officials and health officers who
 may have knowledge of suspicious
 cases of rabies. in the future that in such cases it is better, If it is pos
 sfbIe, to capture the suspicious dog alive and keep it in close confinement
 for a few days. If it was actually
 affec4ed with rabies as such a stage
 of the disease so as to render his bite
 liable to communicate the infection
 to the animal bitten. he will display
 to the careful observer within three days from such time unmistakable
 sy mptoms of the disease. In cases
