something like $l5. 1000, 600 aud 20
you start this way:
"Lippitt, you are q very rich
man, and"
Hold up" says Lippitt
"Guess again. I'm not a rich man
I've only got dozen million dol.
lars or 20. and that doesn't make
me rich. Now, when a man get.
to own half a billion you can begin
to call him a rich man and not be.

BALLINCER's RESIGNATION

0AAA1NGkNS NESl&SNA llON
Ballinger has resigned. Con-
fronted with the possibility of i'm
parchment proceedings in the ex-
ira session, the Secretary of the
Interior makes a precipitate exit
from public life. With prepare
tions under way for the most thor
ough and effective exposure of his
department he has yet had to
meet, the official who has repeat
eddy declared he would never re-
tire under fire, now beats his re-
treat
With him goes his faithful sub
ordinate. Oscar W. Lawler.
Several times during the Ballin-
ger Pinchot investigation was the
Administration thrown into pan
ic when startling evidence of mis-
conduct was dragged out Of the
murky secrecy of the Interior De-
partment by the untiring and re-
sourceful Brandeis. But it is
doubtful If anything that has yet
transpired reveals so clearly the
fear of the Administration of an
investigation that will succeed in
throwing open to the light of day
all the transactions of that depart.
ment.
The resignation Of BslIinger is
the last desperate attempt of the
Administration to close the pages
of history to the official actions of
Ballinger. The appointment Of
Walter l.. Fisher to succeed Bal
linger is prompted by desire to
secure Secretary whom the pub
lie trusts, to make still more GER
tain that an investigation will not
be ordered, to win back, if posi-
BILE, the confidence Of the people
in the Administration.
But no resignation, no presiden-
tial assurance, will remove the
public necessity for a searching
and thorough-going investigation.
1t is imperative that Congress and
the public have full knowledge Of
the activities of Ballinger's depart
ment with regard to the Alaskan
claims and other official matters
wherein Ballinger was charged
with administering bis depart
ment to promote private interests.
Public welfare demands that this
be done.-LaFolletts's.

made one of the most eventful of the
history of the Cottonwood church.

Spider Racing.

Lord Devon's property was greatly
Impoverished by the twelfth earl. who
squandered nearly all his fortune and
terribly embarrassed the entailed
property. He was addicted to most
peculiar form of gambling. namely.
spider racing, which he played with
the last Marquis of Hastings and the
eighth Duke of Bedford Each player
selected a spider, which was placed on
the table, and then the latter was
gently heated from underneath. The
warmth caused the insects to run, and
the spider which got to the edge first
won. But spiders are curious crea-
lures. and It would frequently happen
that a spider which was near the edge
and looked like winning would dou-
BILE back. traverse the table in all d.
rections and lose its hacker the thou
sands of pounds so nearly won. Lord
Devon, Lord Hastings and the Duke of
Bedford each of them squandered
enormous sums on this game. which
contributed in no small degree to the
ruin of the two former.-New York

The Domesticated Serpant Versus the
Domestic Cat.

The domestic cat has been sem
fenced to Punishment by the modern
hygienist because of the alleged fact
that she harbors germs in her long
hair and is subject to diphtheria and,
perhaps, other infectious diseases
which may be communicated to human
beings, chiefly the children who play
with her The faithful dog, particu-
Ilarly the house-dog, with his long hair
and his repertoire Of wheezes and dis
tempers, due largely to too much PAM
pering. is also under suspicion. Thus,
two of our most cherished and time
honored associations are threatened
by the ruthless hand of science. the
faithfulness and cheerful companion
shin of Fido, and the purring domes-
ITCHY of Tabby are to weigh as MOTH
ing against the teachings of prevep-
tive medicine. The alleged rat-killing
habit of the cat, even in the face OF
the demonstrated fact that rats convey
plague, is not to be considered as
mitigating circumstance in her favor.
Professor Sambon, London authority
on tropical diseases, including the va
rious forms of plague, is against the
cat and suggests a substitute rat
catcher and e-exterminator II
the form of a wriggling, cleaning, non
venomous snake He cites history in
support of his contention. that the
snake is the proper substitute for the
cat. He calls attention to the ancient
practice in Egypt and elsewhere o.
keeping domesticated snakes to rid the
premises of vermne and suggest tho
revival of this practice for the eXter.
mination of rats. The snake has nc
long hair; he is, in consequence, al
legged to be somewhat more hygienic
And. indeed, in some tropical ano
semitropical countries today, snakes
are tolerated, if not domesticated. We
are reminded that the caduceus witt
the twining serpents has constituted
the symbol of medicine from the time
of Aesculapius, or even before, and is
a recognition of the sanitary signifi-
canoe of the snake. Can it be that in
this day of the turning topsy-turvy OF
many traditions the despised snake is
coming into his own again, and that
the modern science of hygiene and
sanitation will accord him his ancient
and honorable place in medicine? Are
we TO say, Vale the infectious cat anC
dog. and Salve the snake?-Jonrnal OF
