Pittsburg Graft.

A little more than a year ago the coun-
try was aroused by "A series OF disclosures
IN Pittsburg indicating that graft had
been rampant in that municipality for
years and involving number of well
known citizens of financial and social
prominence. The cases were brought to
trial and some of the defendants were
convicted, the chief charge turning upon
the designation by the city councilmen of
certain financial Institutions as deposit
tories for municipal funds. Some OF the
defendants were found guilty, but took
appeals to the superior court. Meanwhile
it was understood that the prosecution
had only reached few of the offenders
and fears were expressed that the statute
of limitations might operate in favor of
those not formally accused. Yesterday
this possibility was prevented by the is
sue OF warrants for five of the leading

Cancer Cure by TRANSMISSION

In the search for a cure for cancer
there have been so many disappoint-

servatism will be manifested by the
public toward the reported discovery Of
a process of incubation with the blood
OF once cancerous subjects, which APP

immune to the further progress of the
disease. The experiments along this
line have been conducted in the labora-
tory Of the Cornell Medical College
with dogs as the subjects OF research
DR.. James Ewing. pathologist of that
institution and president of the Ameri-
can Society for Cancer Research, has
issued a statement to the effect that
animals suffering with malignant can
Ger have been positively cured. The
method pursued was to bleed the af-
flicted dog until it was nearly lifeless
and then connect its veins with a
healthy animal and fill them with new
blood The animals from which the
blood was taken had been immunized
by the transportation process. Cancer
Gus growths had been implanted in
them, with the result apparently OF pro
ducing an antitoXin. The animal
showed no signs of cancerous develop
ment. and its blood, being used later
upon cancerous dogs. effected what a
years observation indicated as a COM
plete cure of the malignant growths.
OF course. it is far cry from labora-
tory experiments with dogs to the APP
plication of these processes to huma II
beings. There are difficulties in the way
of the TRANSMISSION cure. DR.. Ewing ad

A Modern Poisoning.

For fantastic horror the tale that is told
in a dispatch from Kansas City sug-
gestive of a wholesale murder plot, with
disease germs administered in the form
of medicine capsules, has hardly been
euualed in modern times. The application
of Borgian methods with modern agen-
cies has occasionally been suggested by
writer's of fiction, but this Kansas City
case is the first of this type that has
actually developed. Secretly administered
poison given by persons i'll close attend
ance upon invalids has often figured in
the annals of crime, and the anonymous
poison package has contributed to the
work of the courts in many instances.
But combination of poison and typhoid
fever germs. given in a capsule, caps the
climax for diabolcal ingenuity. In this
case it is alleged that a short time before
the death of the first victim from this
suspected plot man visited the office of
a bacteriologist and procured quantity
Of typhoid germs. If this statement,
which taxes the credulity. should prove
10 be true, obviously il becomes the duty
Of the state 10 take the strictest possible
measures to prevent the distribution of
death-dealing agencies in this manner.
Any archaeological worker who supplies
an applicant with typhoid germs is as
guilty of criminal contribution TO the
death of others through that means as
the vendor of poisons who neglects to OBJ
serve the legally prescribed regulations
governing such traffic. Thus far the
whole case is shrcuded in mystery, the
decision as 10 actual criminality awaiting
a report from the physicians to whom the
examination Of the stomachs Of the vic
TINS has been intrusted. II they return a
finding of poisoning it may be expected
that Kansas City will be the scene OF one
OF the most interesting criminal cases
known IN years.

The House Situation.

The President has again refused, and

cedure y pers stent effort has been

and well understands that without ac-
tion-that If. for any cause. Congress
fails in it's duty-the country will hold
the republican party responsible. But
as he has no control over the House
he has no thought of trying to club
anybody out Of or into the Speaker s
chair, or of meddling in the matter of
parliamentary processes. The House,
being tub in its own right, must
stand upon it's own bottom. And that's
right.
What is called the truce reached be-
tweer the regulars and the insurg-
ents should serve. although it might be
much more assuring for good work dur
ing the session Suspicion is still rife.
Each faction suspects the other of car
rying concealed weapons, and of being
prepared and disposed to draw at the
first strange sound. But. as a rule,
compromises are necessary. and confer
ences must be held to reach them. and
he
factions will feel comfortable in each
others society.
The frsj conference. or caucus. will
deal with the Ballinger inquiry. Fear
was expressed in the insurgent quarter
that if tie Speaker were permitted to
name tie House members of the investi
eating committee he would give the Sec
rotary of the Interior the best of the as
signments-in other words, would pack
the committee against Mr.. Pinchot. No
specific grounds for the fear were given,
but several republicans voted to deprive
the Speaker of the power of appoint
ment by declaring their friendship for
Mr.. Pinchot.
Now that the House committeeman are
to be selected by caucus shall We hear
anything about pro-Ballinger and anti
Ballinger, pro-Pinchot and anti-Pinchot?
Will not the members of the committee
sit as judges to try the case on its mer
its? Certainly they will sit in public,
and, later, discuss their findings in pub
lie The occasion will hardly be pro-
pitious for playing politics or personal
favorites, and if such an attempt is made
by anybody the offender will impair his
usefulness by just that much. Neither
whitewash nor lampblack for personal or
political ends Is in order, or can be used
to any material effect.

Mr.. Bryan's Absence.

While Mr.. Bryan's away, the oppos-
ton is playing. That is to say, talk
about dishing him at or before the next
democratic national convention grows
! bold. A movement to that end is pro-
claimed and some details are given The
friends of Mayor Gaynor, Gov. Harmon.
Gov. Marshall and former Gov. Francis
of Missouri are reported as in alliance
to put Mr.. Bryan out Of business. 1t is
a readable story, if not altogether con-
vincing.
Mr.. Bryan has gone, but will return.
Moreover. he will be back in time for the
fall campaigns Will he not, as usual.
head the democratic procession of stump
ers? II his voice is unimpaired, his in
terest in politics undated, his industry
still unsurpassed, shall we not see him
moving by fast trains from state to state.
calling for votes. and particularly for a
democratic House? And will not the
people. as usual, come out to hear him?
We may believe that some of his as
signments will not be as agreeable as
others Take Ohio. The distiling and the
brewing interests put Gov. Harmon in Of
flee. and want to keep him there. They
are therefore in alliance with Mr.
Bryan's party in that state. But they
do not like Mr.. Bryan, nor does he like
them. They have tagged him as a pro-
hibitiOnist, and he them as undesirable
factors In politics. And yet were Mr..
Bryan to be barred from the state. or
refuse to enter it, on that account, the
effect might tell at the polls. There are
some sturdy Bryanites in Ohio.
Take New York. Mr.. Bryan has never
been popular there. and probably never
will be- 1t is still the enemy's country so
far as he is concerned. He goes there.
but never with profit to himself or his
cause. And yet he has followers in the
state, and if they want to hear him next
fall he will have to make them a visit.
Every vote will count in some Of the Con-
gress districts, where both democrats and
republicans are divided.
In the west Mr.. Bryan will again be at
his ease and among his friends. And he
will find topic pat to his tongue. AS
sure as shooting he will try to make con-
servation his own, regardless of what
Congress upon the Presidents recommen-
dation may or may not have done. He
will appear holding a brief for the people,
and will tell his audiences that not until
he and his friends secure control Of the
government will predatory wealth-oper-
ating in the east through trusts, and in
the west through land grabbers-receive
the proper check and the country he
saved.
He reckons hastily or ill-advisedly who
leaves Mr.. Bryan out, or sees him ST.
curely in the clutches Of any opposing
democratic combination.

The Cost Of Food.
rom the Philadelphia Ledger


In country which has a vast area OF
yet undeveloped land, and where the land
under cultivation is still far from yield
ing Its full capacity. fear of an enduring
scarcity of food is preposterous. The con-
sumers of food have been multiplying
more rapidly than the producers, and de-
mand has outstripped supply. so that
prices of all food products have advanced.
If the farms were not capable of yielding
more this would be alarming. But such
is not the case. While all manner OF
secondary or intermediate causes con-
tribute variously to the high price OF
food to the consumer, the Fundamental
fact is that the prices are higher than
ever before at the farm. An enlarged de-
mand at high prices. where the capacity
exists, inevitably calls out supply to
meet 1t. The farmer who has sold all
his crops of this year at profitable rates
will next year produce more. He has the
land and the equipment and the capital to
enlarge his operations. Even if labor is
scarce and he has to pay too much to
obtain it, the Indictment of high prices
will overcome this obstacle. The law Of
supply and demand always has worked in
this way, and will so continue
