A PUBLIC PROTECTOR OR PclsonER.

The danger Of the transmission OF
typhoid fever thru dirty milk is shown
in a recent epidemic in Worcester,
Mass. reported in recent number OF
The Journal Of the American Medical
Association. by Dr. E. B. Bigelow, Of
shows that in the last twenty five
years. an average of 106 cases Of ty-
phoid fever has been reported yearly
to the board of health Of Worcester, a
city with population Of $4,000 at
present. This is. roughly, an average
of one case thousand of population
year for this period In 1910 there
were 2s5 reported cases. more than one
case to each 500 of population, and
nearly three times the average. or
these, 213 cases with ten deaths were
traced to one milk route, an employe
of which was found to be the source
of the infection. DR.. Bigelow recon-
mends that all persons engag ed in
handling or selling milk should be
carefully examined in order TO prevent
such epidemic occurring thru typhoid
carriers.
Every dairy and every place where
milk is sold should be under legal in
spection and should be carefully
watched in the public interests. 1t is
not entirely to the credit of dairymen
IN general that rigid inspection is
necessary. Dairymen often resent in
spection. On the contrary they should
welcome it. If dairymen are ignorant
OF the possibilities Of infected milk
they should welcome information. II
they are dirty and careless Of the pub
lie welfare they ought to reform or Be
put out Of business where they are
dire menace to public health.
The dairyman who sells milk in
Discriminatory has and should realize
that he has very serious responsible
ity. The man who in ignorance or
thru greed poisons to long and danger
Gus sickness or death. those who pat
ronize him should find it hard TO sleep
of nights The milkman should and
must realize the Importance Of his
business. He is the conservator Of
public health. For him to turn public
poisoner should damn him here and
hereafter.

PEOPLE WANT HOLDEN.

friends Of z r. Moore Of Cedar RAN

DEN became candidate Mr.. Moore
would enter the race The Capital
should right about face. Nothing of
the kind was said but Mr.. Moore was
being doomed at the time for the gov
erncship. ard his attacks on MI
Holden at the time were resented by
everybody in the state except few Of
the old CORPORATION gang who were
against Holden because he wanted to
promote short courses for the Iowa
farmers
The friends Of Holden then said that
II Moore should become q candidate
that Mr.. Holden would be put right
into the race after him by the voters
Of the state who believe in building UP
the farming and business interests.
instead OF the corporation interests
solely. as is the case with the few OPP
ponents OF Holden.
In fact whether Moore runs or not
there is a widespread interest for Mr..
Holden to enter the race and become
q candidate. II he does there 10 hard
ly q doubt but that he will be the
next governor OF Iowa. He has done
more for Iowa than any ether hum

more for the good Of the state In one

Treason of the Blood" a novel Of
the south by Estelle Manning Brewer
issued from the Torch Press Of Cedar
Rapids. is a novel with a purpose. 1t
deals with that treason OF the blood
which results in immoral amalgalna-
ton of the races. classifies the
Caucasian and negro as distinct
races and in readable fiction which is
not all fiction portrays the effects Of
race mixture. both on the Caucasian
who stoops to conquer and the variant
Of his conquest. There are serious
faults in the novel but no lack Of
strength The faults are of tech
nique and balance mainly and beneath
them is the framework of a better
novel to be written later and evidence
Of the power to write it. Whatever
its.faults may be it has the grip on the
reader which is the acid test Of fiction
and of authorship.

Change Of Views.
tDr. Frederick w. Millar.l

tDr. Frederick W. Mil!ar.J
During the last half century a great
change has taken place in the theoiogi-
cal views and the religious feelings Of
the people Of this country
The blinds Of superstition have been
torn away: Adams fall. mans deprav-
ity, the old plan OF salvation. the
scheme of redemption. endless suffer-
ing, election and predes,ination. to-
gether with many other giants that
did valiant service in the past have
been relegated to the theoIogist scrap
pile.
The modern churchnan may or may
not believe them. His belief makes no
difference as to his fitness as chris
ton.
The emphasis IS nov placed upon life
before faith. conduct before creed. the
paramount importance Of true and holy
motives, Inc worthes.ness OF a merely
formal righteousness. the fulfilling OF
the law Of love to God and man. and
the play Of tender and passive virtues.
Disrobed Of the superstitious garb
men have hung around 1t. religion is
heavens best gift to man. his friend
In adversely, and his monitor in pros
perity: its ways are p,easantness and
its paths are peace. 1t shines forth as
knowledge and morality, devotion to
the right conservation TO duty, and un-
shrinking self-sacrifice.

KILLING THE GOOSE.
fYnNorson Real

Dies Moines hotel-keepers seem to
be determined to kill the goose that
lays the golden egg Every time that
convention meets in that city they
make practice of doubling their rates
and thus bleeding their country
friends to the limit. 1t would appear
that the extra business which large
conventions bring to the capital city
ought to be fairly compensatory to the
hotel men, at their regular rates. The
matter is brought up just now in con-
nection with the coming State Teach
ers' Association meeting. which last
year brought nearly 1000 teachers to
Des Miones. Recently a well-known
upstate educator was in Des Moines
and got good room for $3.50. He
tried to engage IL for the state teach
ers' meeting and was told it would cost
him SO a day during the convention
period. In a town not fifty miles from
Jefferson eighteen teachers got to-
gether the other dav talked the mat
ter over. and decided to stay away
from the state teachers meeting for
the reasons indicated above. 1t Is be-
lieved the attendance this year will
not be so large as last year chiefly for
the same reason. 1t would appear that
here is field in which the Des Mofnes
booster shirt might disport itself with
great profit.

June.--A Rhapsody of De-
fiaRce.

4RdkaCSs
Stand back, ye irking devils OF despair!
Behold, my head is bare
TO the balmed breeze from off the
sapphire sea
And lifted to the sun. For unto me
The Voices call, call resonant and
clear
Live, man! Live strong! Another
June is here"
June! Look-a belted bee is in the
rose,
And soon will stagger in his flight to
close
The comb with weight of gathered
sweet. And, see
A redwing's on the flag and swinging
free!
I catch the flash of crimson mid the
jet,
AS there he balances obove the wet
Lush grass beside the pasture-pond,
where slow
Brown cattle at the evening 60.
Now. too, the brock its cherry gossip
spills
Into the pools among the shaded hills,
Or widens in the meadow to caress
The crisp tanged leaves of the o'er-
bending cress,
While in the RIFLES filming trout
await
With upstream heads the fall of fly or
bait.
Up from their earth the floral children
rise
Aud blow their kisses to the wooing
skies
In gleeful troth, and deck themselves
anew
With filmly fabrics spangled DER with
dew.
The useful grass along the fertile plain
Stirs in the heat ard becks the friend
ly rain,
And high the lark his silverlyre tunes.
Bird-song and bloom and reach of
trellised vine!
The Voices call. and the earth is mine,
Aud for my feet the clovered paths
that go
Where poise and peace abide!
And So
Stand back, We irksome devils of de.
spair!
A glass of June-wine in the odored air
I lift to na:ure-to her hills and trees,
To wave and shallop by the bouldered
leas,
To star and sun, to night and dewy
dawn,
TO days to be, to plants and sorrows
gone,
To life, to love, to Woman and to
Man,
And to utter goodness of the Plan,
-(Richard Wightman in "Success
Magazine.'']
