According to chemists who recently
made a test for the Federal govern
ment, n spoonful of canned eggs con-
tanned "a, 600, 900 germs, The tempta-
ton to rally from the shock occasioned
by his announcement long enough to
wonder how long the chemists were
engaged in counting the germs is al
most irresistible. We can imagine the
overworked scientists endeavoring to
finish that task in one week and finding
at the last minute they would have to
forego their Saturday ~half-hoHday if
they expected to obtain even an APP
proximate answer.
If one spoonful of canned eggs con
tanned the aforementioned number of
germs, how many germs are there,
pray. in the eggs of this description
which are sold daily to the bakers of
the metropolis for the lighter and more
tasty cakes? The strongest and most
vivid imagination must needs weaken
in the face OF so overwhelming an
aggregate.

I'm my judgment corporations have
no rights whatever" The foregoing
statement was not made in Milwaukee,
o by a prominent member of the
party which just now is dominant
out there. This represents the opinion
of no less a person h the Chief of
the Bureau of Franchises Of the Pub
lie Service Commission for the first
district, New York.
Perhaps the explanation which fol-
lowed softened the statement some
what:
"A corporation is a mere tool to be
used in the furtherance of human well
fare. So long as it is useful or may
be mad useful by improvements we
should be wise to use it. But 1t has
no rights whatever. We have the
rights. A maj and a corporation are
not in the same category at ALL"

1t is recorded that the members OF
the National Cloak, Suit and Skirt
Manufacturers Association yesterday,
in convention assembled, solemnly
sounded the knell of the hobble skirt.
They went so far as to give reasons
for their action. branding the now
celebrated garment as a freak devoid
of all reasons for existence.
It is altogether likely hat the men,
bers of the National Cloak, etc, were
unduly exercised concerning the re-
stricted skirt and went to unnecessary
trouble in tabooing it. A PORTION oil
feminine apparel which makes its ap-
peal only because it is bizarre may be
depended upon to accomplish its own
undoing alone and unaided. Opposi-
ton might merely arouse a combative
spirit in those who have been exploit
ing the m~onstrosity and thus give it a
new lease of life.

While he has never mad any secret
of his attitude since the question be-
came an issue, President Taft empha-
sizes it by recommending in his mes
sage to Congress that the Panama
Canal be fortified at a cost of 500 0 900.
The congressional investigating COM
mittee, which returned recently from
the canal zone. is on record as being
strongly opposed to any attempt to
fortify the canal. AS the canal ap-
proaches completion the issue will be-
come vastly important.
President Taft believes our failure to
fortify the canal would defeat it's OBJ
ject in increasing the military effective
ness of our navy and would leave this
country ~powerless to enforce the uni
versal and equal use of the waterway
in time of war.
1t is likely that the ultimate division
on this question will take little or no
c~ognizanee of party lines.

There should be food for serious
thought for the militant suffragette in
a cablegram from Paris anent the SUBJ
ecjt which is nearest her heart. The
message reads:
"a committee of the Chamber of
Deputies today favorably reported q
bill comforting upon women the right
to vote for city, commercial and de-
~partmental councillors. and making
them eligible for these Offices"
Thus in France and in some of our
own Western States. where the SEN
sational militant" methods have never
been employed, real progress is being
made by the supporters of the vote
for women program, while in Eng
land, what with raids on the Houses
of Parliament, ssaults on aged states
men, etc, the cause" move backward.
One very interesting development
brought about by the probe instituted
into fire insurance rates by the New
tee is contained In a statement made
from the witness stand by Manager
Robb, of the New York Fire Insurance
Exchange.
According to Mr.. Robb people have
become more careful in guarding
against fire since the San Francisco
disaster. In his belief if losses re.
manned as low as they have been since
that time, rates might be lowered.
Some of these object lessons, il
would appear, have lasting value. The
regulars recurrence of instances where
lives are lost unnecessarily through the
destruction of fire traps might lead tc
a different conclusion.
