He displayed no nervousness or heslta-

Canada's Buffalo Herd.

The largest herd of bufraloes In the
world is now owned by Canada. says
a writer in Canada. They form most
picturesque group as they roam over
the new national reserve set apart for
them near Wainwright, one of the
growing towns on the Grand Trunk
Pacific, 125 miles east of Edmonton.
1t Is only within the last year that
Canada has wrested from the United
States the honor of having the most
representative herd Of this distinctive
iy North American animal. which is
rapidly disappearing. The Dominion
government recognized the need of ac-
ton IL the bison were to be preserved
and before Washington had realized it

herd Of COO or 100 from Michael Pablo

A CRYING NEED.

There is a crying need in this city
for an institution OF some kind in
which INDECENT people suffering from
contagious or infectious diseases may
be cared for. This was demonstrate
Cd again two or three days ago. when
a young negro woman was found dy-
ing from tuberculosis in the street.
The health authorities had no where
to place such patient. and the
overseer OF the poor could not take
her to the almshouse because no pro-
vision is made for such patients there.
Finally temporary and undesirable
quarters were secured and there the
poor woman is being cared for after
q fashion. Cases similar To this are
being brought TO the attention of the
city physician constantly. The coun-
Gil must do something to iieve the
situation.

Music Loving Spioers.

1t has been asserted that spiders
possess a sensitivencss TO musical
sounds Some Species seem 10 respond
to the notes Of the piano. the harp.
the flute, and so on. in a manner sag
gestive of their ability to recognize
these sounds or the harmonic vibra-
tions on which they are based. But
Professor Lecaillon of Paris. who has
made a special study Of the instincts
and the supposed '-psyehiSul" Of sni-
derS. thinks that the apparent ScDsi-
tiveness of these insects to music has
been misunderstood Il Is Thought
that when musical instruments are
played near their nests the spiders
simply feel the vibrations through
their webs or otherwise without reccS-
nizing the musical notes as sounds
The effect upon them Is similar 90

VOTE FOR THE BEST MEN.

Every Democrat who is qualified
to vote in today's primary should 90
to the polls and east ballot for
the best men offering for seats in
the council from his ward. In each
ward one candidate for the board OF
aldermen and two candidates Tor the
common council must he voted for;
each voter participating in the pri-
mary who fails to do this VIII
throw away his ballot, for IL will not
be counted.
Perhaps you may feel no special in
terest in the men who are running
in your ward. That is no reason for
failing to exercise your duty and priyi-
lego. 1t is important to the city that
upright and capable men be selected
TO serve on the council. Under the
present system, our municipai govern
ment is bad enough at best, so 1t Is
essential that we have the best or
the nearest to the best We can get,
II you do not believe that you have

men and two candidates for the com

OUR FARM LANDS.
The Story of Their Rise In Value
Reads Like a Romance.

The farmer, not the money king OF
Wall street, Is the real owner OF the
United States. The CLEAN of his fields
is another Aladdin story. only instead
Of rubbing lamp he has simply
scraped the ground.
Our cereal crops last year were worth
$4,000 100000. which is sufficient TO
pay for all the tools. implements anu
machinery OF the whole OF American
industry While this sum seems huge
as II stands alone. you have only TO
20 back a few years in the story or
our agriculture to see the mir 9e or
the steady increase that has been
achieved. Eleven years ago the value
of all our farm products for single
year was reckoned ut ',OOo.Ooo.
You have already seen how that figure
was doubled by 1909. During these
wears the sum total that the soil has
Welded the farmers is $IO.OOO.OOO.OOO.
The advance is so steady and sure that
YOU can almost calculate upon ii year
by year.
Compare this record with the ebb
and flow OF earnings In steel or any
other industry and you realize rs never
before how agriculture keeps the even
tenor of its prosperous way unmind-
full of panic or depression. Why =:
Simply because land is stable and. CIV
en- proper methods OF farming, the
more YOU take out of it the more val
uable II becomes. 1t cannot be moved
away. 1t is in truth the very founda-
ton of the nations material welfare.
II would take $24.000,O00.0C0 TO buy
our farm lands. and their value Is real
and not watered. save by irrigation

FIGHTING THE OFFICE, NOT THE
OFFICER.

OFFICeh.
DR.. w. +. Greasy. the present State
quarantine officer at this port, feels
that The Daily Press has not dealt
altogether fairly with him in its dis
cussion of the dual quarantine sys-
tenn, and he objects especially TO the
term political pensioner" used in
these columns yesterday morning.
This is the sentence In which the
term objected to by the doctor was
used:
-. To petition the governor In
this case would not be to dabble In
politics: the object would be to beg
that the governor eliminate the po-
htical feature and reduce to a mini
mum the number OF vessels held up
for no other purpose than TO give
fees TO the political pensioncr.
"A political pensioner" was the
way il was written. The linotype
turned "a into "ihe.' and while this
? error probably made no great change
in the me7ning of the sentence, II
no doubt helped to create the impress
sion upon DR.. Creasy's mind that the
paper was making a fight against
him as an individual
As matter of fact, what this paper
has had 20 say about the quarantine
sitution has not been directed at DR..
Greasy. There has been no occasion
for personalities Long before DIR.
Greasy was State quarantine officer
The Daily Press was fighting against
the double quarantine. because the
paper believed. as do the representa-
tives of all the shipping interests of
this port. that the State service is as
unnecessary as ii is Inefficient For
merly We had hoped that the State
OF Virginia would establish an eff
cient quarantine system and ask the
federal authorities 10 remove their
service. BIT experience hiss shown
that there is hardly the shadow OF n
possibility of bringing this 90 pass.
The legislature will do nothing, and
the Stale quarantine viii remain what
II is today. simply an excuse for the
maintenance Of fee paying jobs at
this port and Norfolk: handiclp
and tax upon the commerce OF our
ports, which do not need the protee-
