THE IMMORTALITY OF INSURGENCY?

A great many papers have reprinted
from the Chicago Record Herald an
article giving an account of the demise
OF insurgency
There is no truth in it. The esteemed
R.-H. is mistaken in its diagnosis.
When insurgency dies. the race viii
cease 20 go forward. Those who mag
inc they are witnessing its last death
throes are blind 10 the things that are
around them. Every candidate for
presidential nomination. no matter
what party he represents. is seeking to
convince the voters that he is a bet
ter insurgent than his opponents. In
surgency was never so much alive as
il is today. II permeates all classes. It
is touching the corpse of let we'll
enough alone at all points of the COM
country and everywhere there is
springing TO renewed life the demand
for better government and a nobler
Now and then some mill
rant insurgent is exceeding the speed
limit but on the whole the pace is both
swift and sure.
Insurgency is MOI being inferred: it
is bringing the level of public service
up TO higher standards. The fellow who
thinks il is being buried is a relative OF
the fellow who didn't see anything s
ne rode along on the train except a
haystack and that was going the other
way.
insurgency has been the vital force
in all history Abraham insurged and
left the land OF his nativity to found
new race and a new religion. Moses
was an insurgens when he left the court
OF Pharoah. He inaugurated new en-
terprises when he gave Pharoah a
check on the banks of the Red Sea
Christ was insurging when he deaed
the Pharisees and drove the money
changers from the temple. The barons
were insurgents at Runnymede. The
Pilgrims were insurging wkhen they
left the mother country for conscience
sake. Washington, Jefferson, Henry,
Otis and Adams led other bands Of in
surgents toward nobler ideals for men.
No. insurgency, insurgents and insur-
rection are not dead. Accomplishment
is not death but establishment

WILL Mr.. BARNEY PLEASE RePly7

Dairy Commissioner Barney is en-
forcing the law against uncleanlfness
in diaries. 1t appears that he keeps
a list of those who fail to clean up
and evade the law as to sanitary pre-
caution and that a half dozen or more
Des Moines dairymen have found
themselves on the black list and are
ROW without license to sell their pro-
duct. When they clean up in ac-
cord with the new law they will get
licenses. not before and they must
stay clean if they expect to hold their
privileges. So says the dairy and pure
food commissioner of Iowa.
Now this is good thing and greatly
to Commissioner Barney's credit Dirty
milk is responsible for great deal OF
disease Infection. Milk lends itself
kindly as a vehicle of disease germs.
Public health demands that the COM
missioner stand firm in insistence that
milk shall be pure and clean. The
public will have no sympathy for the
dirty dairyman and will commend the
com miSSioner.
But, does Commissioner Barney
realize that milk infected with the
germs of tuberculosis is more deadly
than dirty milk? He certainly knows
that the chief authority of the United
states has declared itself unmistak-
ably on the deadly danger of tuber-
culous cows to the public health.
The L. S. department of agriculture
after long investigation by eminent
scientists has pronounced the tuber-
culous COW a direct source of infec-
ton TO the babies and children who
drink the milk. and indeed common
source of general Infection. Still, Com
missioner Barney is on record as in de-
tense of the tuberculous COW. Which is
worse. dirty dairyman Of the breeder
who refuses to test his herd? Which is
most dangerous?
1t is fair to ask Mr.. Barney.
Have you tested your herd, do you
know that it is free from tuberculosis.
have you ever sold sows thus af-
fected? And it is but fair that Com
missioner Barney make answer.
Mr. Barney is one Of the prominent
breeders OF fancy dairy cattle in Iowa.
He is also dairy commissioner Of the
state. The public and individuals have
the right to ask these questions OF
private dairymen and more right to ask
them Of dairyman who il in official
supervision of the datrymen OF the
state and of the purity Of food pro-
ducts. It would be almost incredible
that an official should enforce laws
against the milk peddler while reserv-
ing to the tuberculous cow the right
to poison babies. VIII Dairy Commits
sioner Barney answer the three ques-
tons put above? Has he tested his
herd for tuberculosis? Has he ever
sold tubercuious COW or cows? Does
he know that his herd IS free from
tuberculosis? I. IS due the public and
himself that he answer.

A Canadian writer in the London

ton in the affirmative In the latest
issue Of that magazine which has
reached this country. After pointing
out that Great Britain has been an
nexing territory all over the globe for
centuries, he adds: '.Now the Amer

Canadian interests. The sales Of Amer
lean newspapers and periodicals In
Canada beat those OF their British rivals
ten to one. Canadian paper give much
more space to news from the United
States than they do to that of Great
Britain. Canada's currency has the
same denominations 40 our. Her new
gold pieces are to be identical with
ours in weight, fineness and name.
Sooner or later annexation will come.
Manifest destiny says 1t. In no other
way can the Canadians ever hope to
adequately utilize their heritage. Their
great blunder was in refusing to join
the thirteen other British colonies in
the rising Of 1913 against En9iand.
Had Canada been peopled at that time
by Englishmen instead Of by French
men that region would have cast tts
lot with Massachusetts,. New YORK.
Virginia and the other British settle
ments along the Atlantic coast. and
have shared in the Independence which
they gained few years later. The
French residents of Canada, however,
were allowed special religious privi-
leges by George LII, which would not
have been accorded to them in a coun-
try in which there was certain to De
an absolute severance between church
and state, and in which all forms OF
religion and non-reugion would be
equal before the law. This consider
alton was the largest single factor IN
keeping Canada aloof. Had CanaoA

EXPOSING KNOCKS DEAL.

The Cum1nins amendments TO the
Canadian reciprocity bill may not
change the bill. The combination in
the senate seems 10 be against him.
But even to those who have had faith
in reciprocity there is difficulty in
understanding why the Cummins
amendments should not be attached to
the bill. When Senator Burton said
that he favored free meat but could
not vote for it in an amendment he
was not sincere because everybody
knows that there could be no possible
objection on Canada's part to further
extension of her free markets and adj
ditions to her free list by the United
States would never cause her 10 think
less of the reciprocity offered.

SALOONS AND PROHIBITION.
IEAxle Grove EAGle1.

1t IL no argument against prohibi-
ton that liquor is procurable in towns
where there are no saloons. Prohfbi-
ton does not extend to abstinence. 1t
applies only to the saloon a. an unde-
sirable institution. Many people arc
opposed to the saloon who keep liquor
in their homes. and use 1t regularly or
irregularly according to inclination.
But they believe the saloon IS an unde-
sirable institution from moral and
commercial standpoint II the voting
out Of the saloon meant that no liquor
would be procurable in other ways, the
saloon would probably never be voted
out. The bootleEging and the various
other ways Of dispensing liquor are \
problem Of themselves and should not
be considered in connection with the
licensing OF the saloon. Let It b con-
sidered on It's merits and stand. or fall.
And bootlegging should also be treat
ed according to it's merits and the Law.
There should be no Su0h institution le-
galixed an tho saloon, and there should
be no unlawful sales Of liQuor allowed.
Prohibit the saloon. ana prohibit the
Illicit retail of liquor. Create a moral
sentiment against drunkenness and
rigidly enforce all law against It.
