The very fact that Mr.. McCreary
differs materially in his general
makeup, temperament and ideas
from the Republican Governors
Kentucky has had, now has or is
threatened with, is a strong argu-
ment in his favor. He is not ex-
citable or easily moved from set
views, nor does he always make
decision quickly, without due con-
sideration. These characteristics
all the better qualify him for Gov
ernor-a position which he held so
acceptably years ago.

this year will set the pace for 1912.
There is nothing more important
than that the voter should always
be alive to the issues of the day
and their bearing upon both present
and future affairs. The Republican
leaders seem even afraid to let the
voters think of national affairs.

too nauseating to quote in The Jour-
nal and Tribune, but which is no more
disgusting than the carelessness
which allowed these pits Of danger
to lie exposed to the disease-germ
seeking fly.
From India, Lieut.. Col. F. w. G.
Jones shows that flies are the chief
carriers of typhoid; and that all Of
US, who carelessly eat food which
we have allowed to be touched by the
filth-bearing flies, are nothing lesf
than eaters of filth.
Aside from army camps, in the or
binary peaceful cities proofs Of the
fy's disease-bearing have been found,
though here, where there are no army
surgeons in charge of every man, IL
is harder to Investigate.
AS for the wholesome country. doc
tors have shown that practically all
of the terrible prevalent typhoid 10

by flies, visiting the outhouses Of va
rious sorts-which are usually, in tbs
country and small towns, left lex
posed to the flies.
Once the country flies thus gather
germs, they can leave them In milk or
cities. They gather thickly and most
diaries, markets, etc. And typhoid
germs will live in milk for twenty
days ready to infect us-in the very
milk that goes to our children-while
in butter the germs will live for one
hundred and forty days.
In the laboratory, many scientists
have by careful experiments proved
that flies do carry germs every time
they touch them. In a number OF
cases cited by DR.. L. G. Howard in
his book, scientists have had flies
walk over and feed on solutions con-
tanning typhoid bacilli. When these
flies were transferred to clean con-
tanners. they always were found TO
carry the germs to the new vessels.
Typhoid causes more deaths In on9
year than yellow fever does In fifty
and flies cause 90 per cent. Of ty-
phoid in many rural and some city
districts. Don't the readers Of The
Journal and Tribune want to do some
thing about it-about this army that
is always invading our very houses2
What makes it most dangerous is
that even where there are no typhoid
patients about, still flies can collect
the germs and carry them to us. For

WHY KILL THE HAWKS?
Indianapolis News.)

A bill has passed the House and is
now before the Senate providing a
bounty for the killing of hawks and
crows. Why does any one want to
Kill hawks? The Investigations made
by the United States Department of
Agriculture show that these birds have
net value to the farmer. The fed
eral and the different State depart
ments of agriculture are engaged in
teaching the value of hawks and owls
to the farmer in destroying insects,
mice and other enemies of growing
crops. They are teaching the value
of conservation of the necessity of
fighting the destructive insects and
mammals to protect the farmers in
terests. Why then should these nat
ural enemies of the farmers foes be
slaughtered and bounty be offered to
encourage their destruction?
While an occasional BARNARD fowl
may be caught by the hawks, it has
been shown that the whole group, with
the exception of two smaller species
of hawks, is among the most valuable
Of the farmers bird friends Some
years ago the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania passed law providing a bounty
for hawks. A few years later the
farmers demanded a repeal of the law
because the natural food of these
birds, principally field mice and rats
had so increased that they were do
ing incalculable harm to the crops
The agricultural reports from the
State tell the story. Why should we
not profit by Pennsylvania expert
ence?

AS to the money paid for consulting
engineers, he called attention to the
statement Of the chairman of the
Paving Commission made recently
that Bridgeport has the finest set OF
| specifications for wood block paving
in the country. The specifications
were prepared by McKenna upon in
formation he gathered from Otto H
Klein, the eminent chemist who fol
| $50 saved the city $4,000 in impartine
| information in consultation with Nc.
Kenna.
He reminded the committee that il
| should give McKenna credit for what
he has done. The city hasn't lost a
single cent. He hasn't been dishon-
est. He has come upon the witness
stand with all the books and papers
ly and fairly. He argued that the
committee must find that McKenna
conducted his office properly, and con-
tinuing said If it were not wasting
powder it would be we'll for the COM
mittee to condemn Mulvihill. APP
plause followed Klein's argument.
Judson then declared if Klein doubt
ed that the Paving Commission had
acted as he claimed in the Stratford
avenue matter, he could yet call upon
the chairman of the Paving Commits
sion
What kind of a bluff is that?" ask
ed Klein
mo, you're bluffing, and I'm calling
yeu,' retorted Judson
well, don't be a boy; let's proceed
said Klein
ut was improper said Judson, "for
Mr.. Klein to comment upon Mr.. Null
Willis appointment. 1t was not
relevant to say that Mr.. Mulvihill's
appointment was produced by political
influence. I don't know anything
about the origin of his appointment.
1 expect that great many appoint
ments are made through political in
fUence. That's the way we're all
built But does my friend desire to
have the committee know the unwrit-
ten history that lies behind the ap-
pointment of his client in 19OS?"
'I don't know what you mean," re-
FLIED Klein.
Consult with your client, and be
WISE" replied Judson.
Judson again addressed the commit
tee: Il claim a report to the Common
Council" that the present incumbent of
this office is not competent to dis
charge the duties of the office with
credit to city of, the Importance of
Bridgeport
The Investigation committee will
meet within a few days at the call of
Chairman Lavery to review the hun
dreds of pages of testimony and pre-
pare a report to the Common Coun-
Gil.
Alderman Lavery has not decided
when the next session Of the commit
tee will be held.
The investigation is practically in
the same status as the case gone to
the Jury, and the committee acting as
a jury is to prepare its verdict in exc
cutive meetings.
Throughout his arguments Senator
Judson continually referred to Horace
G. Scofield, who for years acted as
city surveyor, before that Office be-
came designated as city engineer. He
claimed that McKenna could not
measure up to the Scofield standard
which Bridgeporters had come to ex
pect And in his answer Attorney
Klein asked the committee if the evil
dence has not shown that McKenna
has displayed such merit as entitled
him to the appreciation of the commit

Single Fly May
Spread Countless
Disease Germs
Fly is Charged and Found Guilty
of Carrying Typhoid Fever
Bacteria

A single Misunderstanding house fly
may carry from $50 to 100000 bac-
terra. The germs may be, often are
the germs of typhoid fever, in part
The fly not only bears away on Its
legs tiny particles from typhoid pa
tents discharges-on which it gladly
feeds, whenever possib1e-but 1t also
carries virulent typhoid bacilli in its
digestive organs.
These germs it takes to the food OF
other persons, leaving them in guam
titles. On every tiny spot on your
family's food that has fed on typhoid
discharges, a colony of bacteria be-
gins to grow with huge rapidity. II
you are not in the right physical con-
dition-and are you in hot summer
days?-you have an excellent chance
to catch typhoid fever from this con-
taminated food. Then, when you are
sick, others, perhaps your own people,
may be stricken with typhoid borne by
flies from you to these others.
One single footprint of house fly
was found by Cobb to have left $4,000
fungus spores! 100000 is the average
number of bacteria per fly found by
Esten and Mason in experiments with
Ala flies which had fed at COW stables,
garbage barrels, pig pens, etc.
By careful experiments of great scien-
lists. DR.. Leland o. Howard, chief
Of the United States bureau of ento-
nology. in his 1.-THE House Fly-Dis-
ease Carrier, a complete manual on
the fly and how to fight it, published
by Frederick A. Stokes Company, this
spring, gives scores Of experiments
which show that disease germs by the
million have been found on flies by
Ioh fnrx SCIENTISTS
surgeons.
Back in 1898, Surgeon General DR..
George M. Sternberg, of the United
States army, warned the army gather
ing for the Standardization war that
flies would carry typhoid in crowded
camps. His warnings were somewhat
neglected. Camp latrines were left
exposed and every single sick soldiers
discharges were thus a chance for flies
to nick I'D and carry to others the
germs of typhoid Surgeon Veeder of
the army notes that flies simply
swarmed over fecal matter in the ref
use pits and then FASTENED over to the
mess tents, to walk on the soldiers
food. So every regiment in the army
developed typhoid.
In our national encampments in 1898,
one-fifth of the soldiers developed ty-
phoid While water was partly to
blame the doctors have determined
that the fly was the chief agent for
this terrible spread of disease.
The Journal and Tribune could quote
a hundred examples. Here are a few
mostly from army surgeons, of high
rank and great scientific training
Doctors Tooth and Calverley, of the
British army, found in the Boer war
that in tents full of sick men, the
flies left sufferers from sunstroke
alone, but settled pitilessly-and then
swarmed over food. 1t was then
noted that when the cold weather
killed the flies. the typhoid stopped.
Smith, also writing of the Boer war
gives a description of the state of
abandoned latrines with their mass
es of maggots and excreta, which is

a friend of the river improve
ment and as an authority on all
subjects germane to the better
ment of waterways and harbors
of the country. Probably no
Democrat in the new Congress IS
better fitted to head a committee
than he is to lead the important
rivers and harbors body, to which
is referred all matters connected
with the improvement OF tn e
natural waterways and the bet
torment of harbor facilities, says
the New Orleans Picayune.
In making these assignments,
or rather in outlining them, as
nothing can be permanently done
until the new Congress meets,
the Democratic leaders have
adhered to well-established prec-
edent, which assigns chairman
ships to the ranking members OF
committees who are of the same
political faith as the majority in
the particular branch Of Con-
gress to which the committees
belong. Both Representatives
RansdeIl and Pujo occupy that
enviable position, and, as they
in all respects eminently
qualified, the assignments can
give only general satisfaction.
In outlining the assignments to
the ways and means committee,
one of the most important in the
House of Representatives and OF
great value to the interests OF
this state, Representative Brous-
sard has been omitted. 1t would
be a source of keen regret to the
whole state were this omission OF
Mr.. Broussard from so important
a committee to become perma-
nent. No man is better acquaint-
ed with the needs and attitude
of this state towards tariff legis-
lation than he, and none is more
deservedly popular. 1t is, there
fore, to be hoped that his omis-
sion from membership on the
ways and means committee may
be reconsidered.

EVEN" MONEY BUYING.
The American Does Not Figure As Closely As
His Brothers Across the Channel.

A new indictment of the ex-
travagance of Americans comes
in the shape of a hint from the
new school of business econo-
mists. With all his reputed bust
ness energy and astuteness the
American is accused of not know
ing how to figure CLOSE" While
no Englishman would think it
odd to find twopence added to
the former price of his hat or his
gloves, the American is said to
be ready to witness the addition
of twenty-five or fifty cents to
the price of the same commodi-
ties without pausing to ask whe-
ther the reasonable increase
might not have been a fraction
of these sums.
Testimony before the Inter
State Commerce Commission
showed that in one case an ad-
vance of thirty-two cents in the
cost of manufacture of a pair of
shoes became an advance of fifty
cents, when the goods reached

typical illustration of the trade
habit of selling at dollar and half
dollar even prices. The eigh-
teen cents that went astray in
this instance are pointed out as

can is paying for a tradition-the

A joke illustrating the way it
works is going the rounds. A
farmer sold a butcher a COW for
$12, reserving the hind quarter.
When a settlement was demand
ed, the farmer found himself
So. so in debt to the butcher. The
hind quarter weighed 80 pounds,
which, at the market price of
is cents per pound, amounted to
$14. %. The figures did not lie,
and the farmer went home won
dering what had become of the
other threefourths Of the cow
and the horns and the hide. The
butcher was equally nonplussed
at trying to figure out the per-
centage he had made, and won
dered how it was possible that
a legitimate transaction could so
work to the undoing of the farm
er and to his profit. The farmer,
after long cogitation, reached
the conclusion that the discrep-
ancy between what he sold the
COW for on foot and what he paid
for dressed beef was too great,
and forthwith advanced t.
price of beef on the hoof. The
consumer looked upon the trans
action as one in which he did not
receive any benefit from the loss
of the farmer or from the alb
normal profits of the butcher,
and concluded there is no fixed
rule governing the sale of beef.
It is all the same when beef is
high on foot as when it is low
the consumer gets it "gwine and
