Taft's Note of Alarm.

That the temper Of the nation IS
progressive; that the people demand
vigorous treatment OF national
questions: that the great west is
solid for a real aud honest reduction
of the tariff: that the country is not
satisfied with the present admins
tration; all these have in all prob
ability become plainly and painfully
evident to President Taft in his long
trip around the country. He has not
experienced the welcome which as
sured him that it came from the
hearts OF the people. Through the
round of perfunctoTy banquets and
receptions he has heard the sounds
OF dissatisfaction and these have left
him anything but a courageous and
optimistic candidate for the pres.-
dency IN 1912.
The following words uttered III
Chicago Morday evening evidently
indicate well the trend Of the presi-
Iential mind:
However, IL so De It thsr they

country, but with the consolation

a great deal TO know the answer. So
far he has contented himself with
ECsing about the departments, during
the preparation of the estimates. and
1sking an occasional why AS a re-
suit of these preliminary surveys his
mental notebook is filed with memoir
andums.
Some folks seem to think that the
democrats kept cut of blunders last
session simply because Of luck" Mr..
Fitzgerald said. = hey expected every
hour TO hear Of an explosion which
would wreck the party, and when there
was no explosion their surprise was
almost as great as their disappoint-
ment. AS a matter Of fact the demo
Gratis worked out an orderly program

based OF previous investigation and
study.
POLICY STILL IN FORCE.
That policy is still in force; more
50 than ever. because next winter we
must assume the responsibility OF
spending money, something the dem
ocraJs have not done for the people for
1G years. Consequently we are all
proceeding with the utmost caution

Special Correspondence or The Argus
Washington. Oct. 31.-There is one
thing upon which all the members Of
the democratic majority OF the house
of representative are solidly united,
and thai is a determination TO see that
there is reason back Of every dollar
that is TO be appropriated at the com
ing session of congress. Leaders of
the parry are of the opinion that the
republican policy of accepting the es-
Inmates of the various department
heads, without question, has been
tremen dously expensive one to Uncle
Sam, and hereafter. these leaders say,
the public purse is not going TO be
opened until The requisition is endors-
ed by facts sufficient 70 justify it. More
over, nobody's word is going TO be TAX
en- for the genUineness of these facts.
In line with this policy. Chairman
FITZGERALD of the aII-important appro-
prfation committee. has been the bust

the past summer. personally investi-
eating The various items which later
on viii call for an expenditure of
Uncle Sans good money. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald has spent a great deal of time
in Washington during the last few
months and as a result of his visits
there is great deal OF trembling just
now among the government officials
who have been accustomed to having
their es mates for expenditures passed

In order 70 prevent unnecessary

member of the state veterinary board,
has sent out a warning TO the farmers
throughout the state. urging that all
cholera hogs be burned or buried 10
prevent the birds from getting at their
bodies. II is believed the disease is
carried in some cases by this agency.
There is no actual proof of this. but
il is said by neople who have watched
that birds will eat from the carcass of
hog that has died of cholera: they
fly away to some feed yard where there
is no cholera, and that in time the dis
ease breaks out there. Whether or
not the birds are responsible is not
Known, but if they are, the burning or
burying of the dead hogs will prevent
the spread of the disease by that
means. II is possible that the state
twill make an order requiring that ali
hogs dying Of cholera be burned or
buried. Litter dropped from a car in
which there was cholera wiped out five
herds of hogs al LeloUp. The hogs in
the car were dead and were being ship
ped 70 a soap factory in Kansas City.
That proved 70 the investigators
that cholera may be transmitted on
straw or any other litter that may be
blown from one place to Slother. II
has also been determined that cholera
will remain with sheds and buildings
for q long time after herd has been
wiped out. Ii also stays with a car.
Farmers az Salina lost their hogs be-
cause a small bunch was shipped in a
car in which dead hogs had been ship
ped 10 a soap factory. The hogs the
farmers shipped were healthy. but
soon took the disease and died. trans
hitting it TO other hogs in the vicinity.
The disease was in the car.
1T is possible that the state will is
sue an order requiring that all sheds
and corrals in which cholera hogs have
been kept be burned. This and the
burning OF the Carcasses are radical
measures. but state authorities have
reached the conclusion that il is time
for such measure. The state sanitary
commissioner may also make an order
prohibiting the sale OF hogs that have
died Of cholera for soap-making or for
any other purpose
The study Of this question is of i'm
mense importance TO the farmers Of
those sections of Illinois where the dis
ease has been especially active during
the pas few months. The state has a
regular meteorological plant for the
production Ct q serum which is said to
be a sure preventive of the disease.
Why wouldn't the state be able 10
check or control the disease Just as
other diseases have been checked or
controlled in the past by prophylactic
or sanitary measures?
