Sewage Disposal and Water
Purification in Kansas.

Sanitary science is discovering
many of the causes of human ills
and is devising means for elimlnatlrg 6
sources of disease. The growth of
cities and other aspects of the
crowding of mankind emphasize the
importance of disposing of the
waste products which are classed
under the general name "sewage"
in such a way as to avoid contamina
ton of the air and pollution Of
streams. Methods of publication
of sewage are well known to sanitary
engineers.
Professor w. C. Hoad of the
University of Kansas, Sanitary
Engineer of the State Board of
Health, reports that there are at
present in this state abcnt th'rty
city sewage puriication plants in
about twenty five different cities.
This includes FIVE plants now in
course of construction. The total
cost of these thirty purltloatlon
plants has been approximately
$a45, 900. Of the foregoing, six
plants were built in 1909, at cosi
of about $6t 900.
In addition to these, plans are
now actively under way for sewage
disposal plants ia fifteen cities.
These range in size from small
plants of SO 900 or $4,000 each,
to the new plant at Parsons which
will cost approximately $4,000.
The estimated aggregate cost OF
these plants is SI96, 600.
There are at present twenty-five
water puri6c alton plants in the
state, most of them involving ultra
ton. These have been built at
cost of about $685., 900. In ad-
diton plans are now under way for
water publication plants to be built
within the next year amounting in
-eest TO about $3.50, 900.
The streams Of Kansas have never
been polluted to the same extent as
have MANY streams of the eastern
states. This is due largely to the
absence of large manufacturing
industries which in the east con-
tinually pollute the waters OF the
streams with large volumes of in
dustrial wastes, though 1t is due In
part also to the smaller size of our
cities. l. is the evident obJect OF
our Water and Sewage Law to pre-
vent the gross pollHtion of our
streams bv either industrial wastes
or city sewage, In order that we
NAV not have to 60 through the
unfortunate experiences of many of
the states farther east.

CURIOUS BLUNDERS.


The Anachronisms That Crowded a
Once Famous Poem.
The medieval romances are full of
blunderS, making contemporaries of
men who were separated sometimes
by hundreds. sometimes by thousands.
of years. but as historical criticism
had not then a being and the general
information of the age was not su-
perior in any particular to that of the
novelist their plans do not amount to
much from IL literary point of view.
Such an instance Is the case Of Arios.
to, who might be supposed to know
something ut least Of the truth of his
tory, but whose once famous poem.
"OrlandO E'urioSo." is n tissue of his
torical absurdities from beginning to
end
In this poem Charlemagne and his
peers are joined by Edward |. of Eng
land. Richard, earl of Warwick; Clar-
ence and the Dukes of York and
Gloucester: cannon are employed hun
dreds of years before the time OF
Monk Schwartz, and the Moors are
represented as established in Spain in
spite of the historic fact that 300 years
elapsed after the death of Charlie
magne before they crossed from Afri-
ca. In one place Prester John, who
lived 400 years after Charlemagne,
and Constantine the Great, who died
FIVE centuries before him. are intro
duced and hold familiar converse with
the great Charles, while In another
Saladin and Edward the Confessor are
ioined by the Black Prince.

Audubon and His Hair.

Audubon. the great naturalist. early
in his career wore his hair very long
He wrote In his diary one day: Il
wear my hair as long as usual. be-
lieve 1t does as much for me as my
paintings" However. in 1927 his
friends succeeded in persuading him
to get his hair cut according to the pre-
vailing fashion. On March 10 of that
year heIwrote in his diary: This day
my hair sacrificed and the will of God
usurped by the wishes Of man. AS the
barber clipped my locks rapidly 1t re-
minded me of the horrible times OF
the French revolution when the same
operation was performed upon all the
victims murdered by the guillotine. My
heart sank low" Further to express
his grief, the margin of the page on
which this entry was made he painted
black about three-quarters Of an inch
deep all around.

THE AMENDMENT
SUFFERS Defeat
BY a Small Majority Not YET
Determined.

The statewide prohibition amend
ment has probably been defeated,
thoug h at this writing but few of the
counties have made complete reports
The most reliable information the News
could obtain came from Mr.. C. L. Col.
Inns, state superintendent of the Florida
Anti-Saloon League, at noon on Thurs
day. A private telegram to the News
from Mr.. Collins, dated at 11:20 yester
day forenoon said:
About $4,000 votes have been re.
ported SO far and these on the face ol
the unofficial returns show that the
amendment is defeated by 1,7OO. Very
few OF the counties have made complete
reports. Wet victory possible. If SC
the negro vote is absolutely responsible
All are proud of the magnificent show
ing made by south Florida"
Hillsborough county, with the city ol
Tampa, the most populouS county in the
state, gave majority of 2O2 for the
amendment. Marion, another one ol
the wet counties of the state, also gave q
majority vote for the amendment. Polk
county gave majority of 800 for the
amendment.
AT the headquarters of the liquor or
ganization ip Jacksonville the claim is
made that the amendment is defeated by
about 5000. The majority against the
amendment in Duval county, where
more than 1000 negroes were illegally
qualified, is 3,261.
There is no dispute over the fact thai
the fraudulently qualified, bum negroes
of Jacksonville, were the determining
force in the contest.
They and the organized liquor crowd
of Jacksonville have won, and as one ol
them said TO the NewS-''the end justi
fled the means"

STATE BOARD OF
MED. EXAMINERS
Have A Busy Session in
Palatka.

The semi-annual session of the State
Board of Medical Examiners is being
held in Palatka this week, the sessions
being in the circuit court room.
A peep into the big room on Wednes-
day afternoon was revelation.
Seated at small tables scattered through
the big room were seventy-eight physi.
clans, most of them young doctors, sew
eral others in middle life and few
gray boards. They were writing out
answers TO list of questions in the class
on anatomy, the whole presided over
by DR.. George B. Glover of Monticello,
one of the first physicians in the state
both as regards his professional standing
and his citizenship in one of the Florida
counties where birth and breeding
count for much.
The doctors were bending over their
problems very much as does class in
college, and as they completed their
work their papers were folded up and
handed 10 the examiner, each being
marked by number, rather than the ap-
plicant's name. These papers the ex-
aminer takes TO his home and goes over.
Other members of the board examined
the classes in other departments OF
medical science.
Many of the younger men are just Out
of college,; others come from distant
states to engage in practice in Florida.
The law requires that all physicians
practicing in the state must have the 80.
K" of the Florida Board of Medical
Examiners, who are appointed by the
Governor.
The present board is composed OF
some of the most noted physicians in
Florida. They are: DR.. ]. II. Pierpont,
Pensacola, president; DR.. ]. D. Fernan.
dez, Jacksonville, secretary, and Doc
tors w. S. Gramling, Miami; Geo. B.
Glover, Monticello; E. w. Warren, Pa
latka; S. Stringer, Tampa; A. L. Izlar,
Ocala.
The board together with the physi-
clans here for examination constitute
quite notable gathering as to dignified
bearing and personal appearance. In
intelligence it will compare with any
gathering of professional men held in
the state in recent years.
The doctors are being entertained at
the Arlington, the Saratoga and the
KupperbuSch hotels. The work of the
examiners closed yesterday afternoon.

INTERLACHEN ITEMS.

The temperance rally on Saturday was
we'll attended, standing room in the
Town Hall being at premium. The
orchestra proved drawing card, as our
townSpeople are appreciative of good
music, and have not the opportunity OF
hearing orchestral music every day.
The speakers ably presented the prohi-
bition question from all points of view.
Miss Jennie Howes has returned from
a summer sojourn among the hills OF
Georgia, much improved by the change.
The regular monthly meeting of the
City Council was held in the Town
Hall Monday night, and several meas
ureS of importance TO the welfare OF the
town were given attention.
Mr.. VIM. A. Thorburn of Buffalo, N.
Y. has purchased the Fraser property on
the north shore of Lake Chipco and
will move his family to their newly ac-
quired home as soon as arrangements
can be made for doing so.
Eugene Winger and Mrs. Winger of
Wis. are enjoying a brief camping ex-
perience at their country place near
Mannville.
Messrs. Ham and Turner with Mes
danes Ham and Turner have taken pos
session of their HolliSter home, and are
greatly missed at the hotel and colony
office where they were wont 10 congre-
gate.
Both the Lake View and the Brown
House are now running TO their fullest
capacity, and every day brings new col
onists for the Palatka- Burbank Company.
Recent registers at the Lake View are
the following, Martin Steinmetz and
son, Kenosha, Wis; Eugen Winger and
wife, Wis; Frank H. Atkinson, Lodi,
Wis; F. H. Riggs, Pottsburg, Pa; Max
Kump, San Francisco; E. c. Moody,
Jacksonville; E. B. Magaw, Fort Mccoy.
Owing to the inclement weather on
Sunday, services in the churches were
very poorly attended, and in the even
ing no services were attempted.
Mrs. Grace Ballou is quite seriously
indisposed, suffering from severe
grippe cold. Others of our townspeo-
pie are also afflicted with the same dis
treSSing malady.
H. c. Tucker is diSposing of his furni-
ture and hosehold goods, preparatory TO
closing his cottage on Lake Grandin.

A ROOSEVELT WATERLOO,

From New York World.
Theodore Roosevelt and the New
Nationalism have gone down TO their
Waterloo. Mr.. Roosevelt will not be
the republican candidate for president in
1912. =.
When the World made Mr.. Roosevelt
the issue in this campaign he gayly ac.
cepted the challenge and spread himself
over the political map from the Rocky
Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. He
eIbowed Mr.. Taft and the Republican
Administration aside while he conduct,
ed a skyrocket campaign for a third
term and his own political apotheosiS.
Mr. Roosevelt has been speaking for
manv weeks. Now the people have
spoken, and the people have repudiated
Rooseveltism.
He is beaten deciSively in his own
state. where his personally conducted
candidate is overwhelmed and the re
publicans have lost the governorship for
the first time in sixteen years.

WILLING TO LEND.
Only Her Husband, the Mean Thing,
Had Pinched Her Wadl


Had Pinehed Her Wadl
Men have something to learn from
women in the art of warding or
"touchers" for coin. Women respond
to such requests once in about every
thousand cases, but they are scientific
In their refusals. A Cleveland woman
with a reputation as a borrower
turned up at the home Of one Of her
friends the other morning with a much
done over story about a persistent and
threatening dressmaker and the usual
request for the loan-''pay it back to-
morrow, certaln"-of $5.
"Why, my dear, certainly" was the
pleasant response to her carefully re-
hearsed little yarn, you poor thing,
you! Just wait till run upstairs and
get my purse"
She ran upstairs. The male head OF
the house happened to be in the room
where she kept her purse He saw her
dig the purse out Of chiffonier draw
er and deliberately remove a wad of
bills from it, leaving about 81 cents
in silver and copper in the change
receptacle. The man was mean enough
to lean over the stair railing when
his wife went downstairs to the par
lor with her hattened pocketbook In
her hand.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, dearie," he heard
her say, "but I really thought l had
the money. find. though, that Frank
as usual, has been at my purse

He is beaten in his own congress dis
trict.
He is beaten in his home district in
his own town, which was carried by
John A. Dix.
He is beaten in Massachusetts,, where
he viciously assailed Mr.. FosS, and the
people elected Mr. Foss governor.
He is beaten in Connecticut, where
he viciously asSailed Judge Baldwin, and
the people elected Judge Baldwin COVER
nor.
He is beaten in Ohio, where he VIC
iously aSSailed Judson Harmon, and the
people have reelected JudSon Harmon
governor.
He is beaten in New Jersey, where
Woodrow Wilson made an Old Nation
aliSm Democratic campaign against the
vagaries of the New NationaliSm.
He is beaten in Indiana, where he
campaigned for Senator Beveridge on a
fake tariff platform of false pretenseS.
He is beaten in Iowa, where repub-
lican majority OF "a, 900 is nearly if not
completely wiped out.
And wherever Mr.. Roosevelt has been
beaten he has been beaten by republican
votes.
MS is no partisan democratlc Victory
in the ordinary sense of that term. While
it is defeat for the Taft Administration
and for the republican party, it is pecul-
iarly a defeat for Theodore Roosevelt
and his 1912 ambitions. II was brought
about by the help of republicans who
were dissatisfied with the record of the
Taft Administration and the Aldrich-
Cannon revision of the tariff. But it
was also brought about by hundreds of
thousands of patriotic republicans who
still believe in the Constitution of the
United States, who still uphold the ST.
preme Court, and who will tolerate no
third-term ambitions in any man, what
ever the party name that masks his pre-
tentions.
The World repeats now what ii said
time and time again during the campaign.
Republican victory would have been
Roosevelt victory. Republican defeat
is Roosevelt defeat. When the re-
publican convention in 1912 looks for
this mysterious Moses whom Elihu Root
has so eloquently described it will not
look in the direction of Oyster Bay.
