CONGRESS HAS ADJOURNED-TAFT CON.
GRADUATED ON PASSAGE OF PET
MEASURES.

Washington, June s5.-President
Taft walked out of the capitol at il
O'Clock tonight smiling.
The second session of the sixty
first congress had just adjourned and
he had signed practically all matters of
legislation that had been placed be-
fore him. He received congratula-
tons from his cabinet members and
from members of both branches of
c ,ngress, upon the successful passage
OF most of bis pet measures. Mr.. Taft
shook hands all around and continued
to smile.
Each house of congress marked its
closing hour by voting for an investi-
CATION of the McMurral Indian con-
tracts. Instead of the usual scene
OF comparatively undignihed relaxa-
tion from the business legislation both
houses devoted exceedingly serious
attention to charges OF attempted
bribery and other forms of improper
infuncc made in the senate yesterday
by Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, and
subsequently in the house of repre-
senatiyes by Representative Murphy,
Of Missouri.

The postal saving bank bill gives
the president the discretion to change
the percentage ofdeposits in any par
fieular locality. This arouses some
suspicion. But legislation for years
past has given Republican presider Is
very much discretion. Roosevelt,
for instance, was given power to cor
ceal information relative to corpora

This was gumshoe lawmaking. The

The mining fatalities in the United

total of ., sos. Most Of this loss Of
life was unnecessary, largely due to
the neglect to enforce the laws resu-

Typhoid,

The very great decrease in typhoid
fever in Philadelphia since the estab-
lishment of the filtration system is in
harmony with general experience. Ac-
cording to a recent bulletin of the
Vermont state board of health, the eff
feet of change in the water supply in
seven American cities has been to re-
duce the combined annual average
death rate from typhoid fever by some
20 per cent. But it must not be for
gotten that while polluted water is a
main cause of epidemics of typhoid, 1t
is not the only carrier. The same au-
thority believes that about so per
cent. of all cases are borne by water
or by milk. In the other 20 per cent
the disease may be spread by the
agency of flies, personal contact, she'll
fish raised in polluted waters, or fruit
or vegetables raised in polluted soil
These various agencies will explain
why filtration of the water alone does
not entirely eradicate typhoid. while
at the same time it is evident that
this is the first and most important
step in the suppression of the disease.
