While we do not care to boast
we feel that this paper has come
nearer having the good will of all
the business men and all others
without regard to party in the
last two months than ever in its
history. We are not trying and
we do not think our readers want
their home paper to be always
harping on politics. What we
are trying to do is to make a live
newsy home paper and we will
thank any and all parties who
have any news of a local nature
to send it in to US. We miss
local news every week that we do
not hear of till 1t is to late.

The Elk Mountain Pilot says
The Pilot does not wish to boast
because it is not the editors alone
who make a newspaper, but the
people who support it, this paper
has now reached the largest cir
culation in its history of twenty
six years. This great progress
comes from the liberal patronage
which has been extended to it by
a clientele of every shad, of polit
ical opinion.

TO RID KANSAS
HERDS OF DISEASES
START STATEWIDE CAMPAIGN TO
STAMP CUT TUBERCULOSIS
A County at Time-Every Animal in
County to Be Tested-Separate
Diseased and Enforce Quar-
antine-FederaI Experts
to Help.

Topeka, KAMA statewide cam
paign to eradicate tuberculosis among
cattle began in Kansas August 8. To-
peka and the surrounding country
were made the starting point and from
here the men who are to take up the
fight will work throughout the entire
state. The war against the disease
In bovines will not end until every
tubercular animal has been separated
from the healthy herds and Kansas
has been quarantined against all other
states so far as the infection is con-
cerned.
The movement Is the result of plans
which have been originated by DR..
George F. Babb, city milk inspector,
and j. H. Mercer, state live stock
commissioner. Through their efforts
J. G. Burneson, tuberculosis expert
from the federal bureau Of animal in
dustry, has been secured to carry on
the work of eradicating the disease
Briefly, the present idea of DR.. Babb
and Mr.. Mercer is to test every bovine
in the county. The usual tuberculin
test will be made. All cattle found
infected with the tubercular germ will
be branded and probably disposed or
if such a plan is possible. When the
work in Shawnee county is completed
a quarantine which will prohibit the
importation into the county Of any
cattle which have not been tested for
tuberculosis will be established.
Then another county will be sub
jected to the tests and quarantine
established over it. And so the work
will continue until every county in the
state Is covered and all of the tuebr-
cular animals are discovered and re-
moved. Finally, an effort will be made
to enforce strictly the existing stasute
against the importation into Kansas
of any cattle which do not bear the
test for the disease.
According to Dr. Babb tuberculosis
does not exist in such great degree
in Kansas as in many of the Eastern
states. There is enough in the herds
here, however, he says, 10 warrant
thorough investigation and eradica'
ton. According to data which has
been gathered recently about the
greatest amount Of the disease exists
in Douglas county. In some of the
western counties there also is a great
deal of infection.

In the intervals of waiting to see

had talked with DIR. Bernstein, the
noted psychologist, whom she had
seen once at Yale. He received her
kindly and listened attentively to her
story. When she had finished he had
evinced the greatest interest. He
told her that he happened to be the
physician called in on the night of the
tragedy, and at that time he had
grave doubts as to 1t being a case Of
murder. He believed it was suicide,
and he had told Capt. Clinton so, but

mind, and that was the end of it.

Are High Schools Lacking?

Washington, D. C.-What is the mat
ter with the high school of Kansas 3
Some of the Kansas representatives
in congress are complaining that the
schools are turning out boys so poor
ly equipped that they are unable TO-
pass the examinations for West Point
and Annapolis.
One Kansas representative was no,
titled that three of his appointees to-
West Point had been rejected. The
boys had failed to pass the mental ex'
animation. These same three places
are actually going begging. The cons
gresham who does not want his name
used because he is ashamed to admit
there are no boys in his district who
can pass the requisite examination, has
named boy after boy, only to have
them fail in the intellectual test.
Other members of the Kansas dele;
cation have the same trouble. They are
inclined to place the blame on the high
schools. The training in these schools
they say, apparently is too superficial
to tit the boys for the West Point and
Annapolis requirements Most Of the
candidates fail in mathematics, formerl
ly one of the strong points of country
schools. Most of the boys pass in his,
tory and they are fairly proficient in
English. Algebra and geometry floor
them.
