 When the reason of the refusal of the stOkers to sail on the Olym- pic was made known, and ft was ru- mored that their places were to be filled by the breakers. many passen- gers cancelled their reservations.

Must Kill Rats to Get Rid of PLAQUE Dancer

1t would be preferable to resort to the
more rapid means of passive immuniz-
alton by the use of antiplague serum
either alone o in connection with in
oculation. Workers in plague labora-
tories and hospitals, rat catchers, fu-
migators, ETC., should be inoculated at
least once every six months.
The use Of anti-plague serum for
the immunization of a whole commu-
nifty Is altogether impracticabIe, be-
cause Of its excessive cost, the limit
ed supply available, the short duration
of the immunity conferred, and the ex-
cessive discomfort and actual danger
accompanying the repeated admins
tration of serum at such intervals as
would be necessary to maintain i'm
munity.
The governments conclusions indi-
cate that If the country is to be kept
free from plague next summer, the
work of rat determination must be
carried on increasingly, regardless of
the cold weather.
incubation consists in injecting into
a person a solution of killed or attenu-
ated living plague bacilli. Passive i'm
munization consists In injecting into a
person a solution Of the blood Of some
animal usually a horse) that has been
itself immunized against plague by
repeated injections, first of dead and
then Of living plague bacilli.

The contingency that is troubling

A gentleman named Woodrow VII.

He is the only candidate before the

He is the only candidate before the

CapitoPs Pied Piper Has a TwO-Yea Contract

THE proudest boast Of Prof. Louis
I Hirsch, is that he is trough on
rats" Unoflcially, he is known as the
Pied Piper Of Washington" ever
since he signed a contract with the
government to rid the capitol and 9th
or federal buildings at Washington Of
rats, mice, reaches, and other vermir,
and to keep che buildings permanently
SO rid.
Prof. Hirsch-his title is not merely
assumed for business glamor, for he is
a graduate Of a German university and
speaks several languages huentIy and
to perfection-has a two years con
tract with the government, as well as
a contract to supply his chemicals to
the various departments.
The professor has a simple method
Of his own for getting rid of rats. He
does not let them die in their holes or
in the building, He leads them out,
like the Pied Piper of E1ameIin, and in
duces them to die outside their hiding
places. He first attracts the attention
OF the rats by giving them something
they like. AS soon as a few find the
choice food, they communicate the
fact to the whole rat colony.
Then he gives them some more, to
make sure they have all got a bite Of
the appetizing dainty. The next step
is to feed them the accustomed bait

THE government experts, after study
! ing 100000 serum NEGOTIATIONS
and 100,0 900 plague deaths in India, an
ounce their conclusions as follows in
regard to combating that disease in
America:
The eradication of rats is the all-im-
portant thing.
incubation of human beings con-
rers a certain degree Of immunity
against plague for a few months only
by reducing the chance of contracting
the infection and still further reduc-
Ing the chances Of deaths therefrom.
incubation is not eradication.
Situations demanding the inocula-
tion of the people in mass may again
be encountered in some countries, but
could hardly arise in American som-
munities. Even In groups Of people
who have been intimately exposed to
plague infection incubation is Of
doubtful applicability. In such a case

with a bountiful supply Of effective
poison larded upon it. The effect Of
the poison Is to make the rat so warm
inside that it rushes into the air and
scurries around for water. 1t scurries
until it drops dead.
The rat-kiler's advice to amateurs
at his art is: "Never tackle a rat in
a closed room. Open a door or a win
dow. The rat fears man more than it
does a cat. A rat will not bite except
in self-defense. Corner a rat, and IL
there Is a door or a window 1t will
jump for it; close all exits, and it will
jump for you, but only as a last resort.
There Ia no bite worse than that of a
rat. 1t carries infection Of the dead
lest kind. If you were in bed and a
rat should jump on 1t, all that is nee
essary for you to do is to raise your
hand. The rat will runaway, and will
not return. But do not attempt to
strike it,"

Ten Wilson Reasons,

1t is conceded by all that the cleo
ton Of Governor Wilson means an i'm
mediate downward revision Of the tar
If. This Is the cause Of the wild out
cry In certain quarters against the
election of Governor Wilson.
The wool trust is crying out against
the election of Governor Wilson and
the downward revision of the tariff.
The cotton mill trust Is crying out
against the election of Governor Will
son and the downward revision Of the
tariff.
The harvester trust is crying out
against the election Of Governor VIII
son and the downward revision of the
tariff.
The sugar trust is crying out
against the election Of Governor VIII
son and the downward revision of the
tariff.
The steel trust is crying out against
the election Of Governor Wilson and
the downward revision of the tariff.
The Aldrich rubber trust is crying
out against the election Of Governor
Wilson and the downward revision Of
the tariff.
The Guggenheim smelter trust is
crying out against the election of Gov
ernor Wilson and the downward revi-
sion of the tariff.
George w. Perkins, political agent
Of the Morgan interests and the asso-
ciated trusts, is crying out against the
election of Governor Wilson and the
downward revision of the tariff.
Frank A. Munsey, press agent of the
steel trust, is crying out against the
election Of Governor Wilson and the
downward revision of the tariff.
Theodore Roosevelt, all things to all
trusts, the side show by which the I'm
terests" hope to divert public atten-
ton from the real issues Of the cam
paign, is crying out against the cleo
ton OF Governor Wilson and the down
ward revision Of the tariff.
These are ten unanswerable reasons
why Governor Wilson should be elect
ed. and the downward revision OF the
tariff should begin.

able examples of Spanish blue and
Hispano-Moresque copper-luster ware.
The trousseau of an Equadorian In
dian bride is conspicuous among the

up Of bracelets, necklaces, armlets and
Wristbands, decorated with a great va
riety of teeth, seeds, beetle wings and
other objects Of savage fashion.
Many of the Korean objects were
presented to Commander Myers-Mason
by a prince of that country who Wis
tied America and was entertained by
him.
Others pertaining to the domestic
life in China and Japan were obtained
during his residence in those coun-
tries. In the group of Japanese arti-
Giles is a unique set Of miniature
ceremonial furniture Of remarkable
perfection as regards finish and de-
tail. 1t is said to have been made for
the child Of the mikado.
The art objects are on exhibition
in the west hall Of the older mu-

beginning for the collection on orien-
tai art soon to be placed there.
The firearms are being placed on
exhibition in the same building.

WHO IS PROTECTED7
BENEFITS THAT LABOR GETS
FROM THE TARIFF ARE VERY
SLIGHT INDEED.
SOME COTTON MILL FIGURES
FalIacy of Republican Arguments Con-
corning the Textile Trade Is Pitt
IessIy Exposed by Official State sta
tistics Gathered in Massachusetts.

We have seen in this campaign few
things more delicious than the Repub-
lican campaign document in which
Theodore Justice speaks Of the tex
tile trade where the protective bene-
Ats Of the tariff nearly all go to labor"
Well, if they do, they are very slight.
The Massachusetts, bureau of statistics
has shown that while only 81 per cent.
of the $4,000 men, women and chill
dren in all the industries get less than
$40 a week, rs per cent. Of the cotton
workers get less than that amount.
More than half the wage earners Gov
cred by this report receive less than
$40 a week. And they are practically
all protected. In the Massachusetts
cotton mills about half the employees
receive less than So a week. 1t was
not long ago shown that in one Of the
highly protected industries 40 per
cent. of the employees did not make a
living wage,
Figures might be piled high, but
those we have given will serve. 1t
may be laid down as a general prin-
ciple that wages In protected indus
tries are almost without exception low
er than those in unprotected indus
tries. Wages of from 81 to $40 a week
can hardly be called generous. AS a
matter Of fact, they are not enough to
enable those who get them to main
tain "the American standard of liv-
ing" There are certain men who talk
a great deal about child labor, and
who seem to feel that employers kid
nap the children and make them work
in the mills. The truth, of course, is
that in our protected industries wages
are often so low that 1t is necessary
for wives and children to go to work
in order to help support the family.
1t is surprising that Mr.. Justice and
others like him should think that the
American people can longer be fooled
by the old arguments" The figures
that disprove the theory are within the
reach Of all. 1t Is simply absurd to
say that in the textile industries "the
protective benefits of the tariff nearly
all go to labor" The fact is other
wise. In Mr.. Lauck's Atlantic article,
entitled "A Real Myth" is this;
"a yard of mans worsted suiting
was found by the tariff board to cost
an American mill $1.71 to place on the
market. The rate of payment to the
weaver on this cloth was ascertained
to be only 5 cents a yard, but the pres
ent tariff duty is $1.02."
If we credit to protection the whole
5 cents which the laborer receives
which is absurd, since he would get
something, tariff or no tarif-we still
have 81 cents of the tariff duty to &C.
count for. Manifestly it does not go
to the workman, for he gets only 8
cents. We fear that it finds it's way
into the pockets of the employer. Here
is a protective duty of $1.02 designed
to cover the difference between labor
costs here and abroad, and yet the
total labor cost is 5 cents. Mr.. Justice
a hardly expect the American work
ingmen to accept this statement. II
this Is the best that protection can
do it is in a bad way.-Indianapolis
