PLEASE WRITE AN EDITORIAL.

The state lecturer and chief of the
press bureau of the movement against
the spread of tuberculosis writes to the
would, if you win do so, write an edi-
torial calling the attention of the peo-
pie particularly 10 TIE dangers Of the
common drinking cup, careless expec-
toration mouth kissing and the like in
the transmission of tuberculosis. 1
think you will agree with me that there
can be no appreciable decrease in the
death rate from tuberculosis until the
people act on the knowledge which they
have concerning it's infectious nature.
An editorial note warning them will
have a splendid effect upon the people
OF your community"
What's the use? Is there a person in
the Times-Republican's territory who
does not know the danger of the pub
lie drinking cup, the case with which in
fictitious diseases are transmitted by
the person who spits IN the streets and
in public buildings and the danger Of
lip contact with the tuberculous. 1t
has been said and told over and over
again. How many Of o who know
are protecting themselves and others?
How many who know themselves
to be tubercularly affected keep
careful guard over the danger
that they may transmit the curse of
northern climates? There is a gener-
al carelessness which is not only dan
gerous but approaches the criminal.
The movement for quarantine of tub
%ercuious persons is not unlikely to be
revived and not at all unlikely to
crystalline into segregation by law. The
way TO avoid it is by p%recaution and
observance Of the rules made to pro-
teot others.
Where q live wire kills n man tub
eroulosis kills its tens of thousands,
but few rush carelessly Up 70 seize q
wire and none string charged and
non insulated wires across the streets.
And yet tuberculosis turks with dead
ly intent and purpose unheeded, an
ever present and deadly danger.
When the scarlet fever card goes up
to the mothers Of the neighborhood
gather their hocks in fear but the fig
ures of the Iowa health department
show that IL 81 died of scarlet e
er in the first six months Of 1910, 724
fell to the consumption scourse. Tub
erculosis took six where typhoid o
one, ten where appendicitis killed one,
nearly eight against one to die of diph-
iberia Why in the six months of the
first half of the present year not one
person died of smallpox in Iowa while

lous infection? Are tho figured not

NO HALF WAY STATION.

The San Diego, California. Union Of
readers on the eve Of the recent cleo
ton:
There is no half way station on the
road to insurgency. The same infiu-
ences that are seeking to nominate
Hiram Johnson for governor in Cali
fornia. are backing ipsurgent candi-
| dates for congress. True, that is not in
all districts, for in one or two candi-
dates could not be found to stand But
as goes the result on governor will go
the states reputation, and if Hiram
Johnson is nominated, the word will go
broadcast tina California is in the in
surgent column,
And so it went. The telegraph and
the newspapers did precisely what the
| Union said they would do. sent the
word broadcast thai California is in
surgent. And there next morning
stood iowa, Kansas, Indiana and Cali
fornia waving handkerchiefs al each
other.
And as the Union suggests the repu-
tation of the state was greatly changed
and improved. The square deal looms
high in California.
There is nc half way station between
the issues as they stand. Either the
voters are to rule or the corporation
politicians. This is made peculiarly
manifest in New York, where the old
guard of the corporate influences I'M
hesitatingly flung Sherman into the
face of Roosevelt and the Roosevelt
policies. 1t is made evident wherever
candidates speak boldly for reform or
assert independence of corporate con-
troll. The fight must go on to the final
arbitrament of strength. There is no
half way station.
Deprecate the situation as we may,
it is the essence of popular govern
ment that majorities must rule; that
essential differences must be fought out
and definite ground attained. Compro-
mise, which Is half true and half false,
can not endure There is no half wa
station.

|GROWING WHEAT IN BREMER co.
lNEayerlv Indanandant

lWaverly independently
About twenty-five ear ago the
growing of wheat in Bremen county
was given UP as 1t became Improbable
and exhausted the soil. That was
when the single crop was depended
on and rotation was not practfced. Then
farmers did not have the knowledge
of the requirements and productive
ness OF the soil as they have today,
or they might have continued to grow
wheat at a profit. Since farming has
been reduced to a science and the
farmer knows just when and where to
plant certain crops wheat Is again
being sown IN this vicinity and the
returns therefrom are really as large
as from other grains. r

BALLINGER A SCAPEGOAT?
Sioux CITY Iournall.-

loAodA SASy
1t appears altogether probable that
Richard Achilles Balinger is to serve
in the uncomfortable office of one
Jonah. Ballinger will kick. His enc
mics will make a cheerful noise. There
is much uncertainty INK cruelty in
| politics. The fashion is to chew up
the under dog. The excuse Is that the
public welfare must be conserved. The
secretary's Seattle speech was about
what might be expected from a man
who had received advance Information
of what the court would decide.
President Taft has been understood
as disposed to carry out the Roosevelt
policy of conservation. The dismissal
of Pinchot did not indicate a departure
on the part of the president, but it
was noticed that nch was not the
head Of the government. Perhaps 1t
may appear that Ballinger has been go
ing too far. 1t may appear he has a
policy of his own not exactly in accord
with the policy of his chief. The sec
Rotary is p~ugnacious and expletive. and
he has been sorely tried with yellow
fire. He has not the presidents judi
cial temperament. It may be a secretary
Of the interior is required who can
make a fresh start.
Of course, If the president wants Bal
linger to go. he will go. 1t is the pro-
vince of the president to choose his
cabinet advisers, n no self-respecting
adviser will remain a day longer than
he is wanted. The president may
deeply regret the e~xigencies of the sit
uation. Doubtless he has don what
he thought he properly could do to pro-
tect the secretary against unjust dis
elimination. But the president has
not been able to do that, nor yet fully
to protect himself.
President Taft will open the conser-
walton congress-. 1t will be Labor day.
The assumption is that the president
will have a fair chance. 1t may be that
another thing is expected Of him 1t
may be expected % h!-: that he will
square himself on general conservation
principles, and that having done that
it will appear that he Is not to be
charged with "Ballingerism," whereup-
on Col. Roosevelt may be able to say a
word of approval. and to advise his
friends that fair terms Of peace have
been offered.
Colonel Roosevelt has the cards in
his hand and confidence is not lacking
that he knows how to play them.
The colonel can saw the administra-
ton or he can wreck it. He desires to
help Garfield and Pinchot, and 1t Is un-
believable tina the wants to hurt Taft.
1t is not an ~exaggeration to say the
conservation gress looks q good deal
like a bridge.

Rules for Preserving the Sight.

From the Philadelphia inquirer.
Amongst the chief rules for pre-
serving the sight, and consequently
keeping the eyes clear and bright, are:
Always sleep in a darkened room.
Netting is is mere trying te- ttAe-eyes
than to wake in bright light.
Always read or work with your
back to the light. AS soon as the
least smarting or discomfort is ex-
perienced abandon the work, and rest
the eyes by shutting them and placing
a soft handkerchief soaked in rose
water over them. Keep this on for
ten minutes and the benefit will be
much appreciated.
Do not read in trains and trolleys.
The impoSsibility of keeping the book
steady is most trying TO the eyes.
Battle the eyes every night with the
following eye-lotion, and should any
dust or other substance enter them
during the day Immediately rinse them
with the same lotion.
Take one ounce of boric acid and
dissolve in pint of boiling water.
When thoroughly dissolved, bottle
and use as required.

. Duties Now Excessive and lnexcus
able He claims-Was Interrupted.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Contendint
that the present tariff law imposes ex
cessive duties and that the country al
large demands its amendment, Senator
Cummins of Iowa delivered a speech
in the senate in advocacy of his reso
luton limiting the power of amend
ment of bills dealing with the separ
ate schedules of the law.
The speech was the first attack OF
the session of the Payne-Aldrich Law
and it received careful attention.
The Iowa senator disavowed any in
lontion of opening up a general tariff
discussion. Still, he found 1t difficult
to avoid a general expression on tarill
questions.
IL, is well known" he said, that
consider excessive and inneXcusablt
many of the duties levied by the law
OF 1909 know also that many per
sons believe the law should be amend
ed In the recent political struggle
did not hear a single utterance by ,
Republican that did not admit tina
the law contains duties that ought t
be changed and that 1t is the duty 0
congress to act speedily"
Declaring, further, that under exist
ing parliamentary usage in the hous,
and senate the amendment of a tarii
law is out Of the question, he con
tended that the first step to be tsiel
was the modification of the rules $,
as to render it possible to amend al
individual provision of the law with
out taking up the entire tariff ques
ton.
THE real ISSUE" he said, lis wheth
er we shall so amend our rules as t,
permit the amendment of the law
schedule by schedule"
Mr. Cummins had not proceeded ia
until he was compelled to submit Il
Interruptions. Aldrich, Hale, Lodg
and Carter participated in the debate
