Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver, senator
from Iowa, has been mixing it hot
and heavy with the interests in the
senate during the past few years. and
twice during the last year leaped into
the limelight and doomed up, a great
big political figure.
The first of these occasions was
when he introduced into the senate
Clifford Pinchot's letter In which the
forester defined his position in the Bal
linger affair-a letter which subse'
quently cost Pinchot his job.
The second was when he got up In
the senate June IA and outlined his
own position, frankly said what he
thought about President Taft-whict
wasn't entirely favorable-and PAID
his compliments to the regulars who
had been trying to read him out Of
the Republican party"

Cholera Morkoua.

Cholera norbus' is a term with a
curious history" says the London
Chronicle. ITO our forefathers 'chol-
era meant not necessarily a disease,
but one of the four 'humors' present
in every human body, as the bilious
humor, excess of which made man
'choleric.' Cholera and 'choler,' in
fact, meant just the same thing. So
the comparatively mild ailment which
we know as English cholera was re-
ferred to as ''the disease cholera or
cholera morbus.' in order to distin-
guish it from the other sense Of the
word. Much later. when Asiatic chol-
era was introduced to the alarmed
notice of this country, cholera got
transferred to it."
