Another Theory"

Theories on most pulling
problems are numerous and the
horse epidemic is no exception.
The following, taken from the
Topeka Capital, is new theory
and may help solve the problem
as to the cause of the disease:
"The grasshopper is largely
to blame for the spread of the
horse epidemic, according to a
theory evolved by A. A. Graham,
local attorney, who has follow
ed the progress of the epidemic.
Mr.. Graham believes that the
big grasshoppers which invaded
the state during the summer,
and which migrated from west
to east, were sick, as they acted
"dopy" and great numbers of
them died during the movement
He believes that these grasshop-
pers harbored the horse epidem-
ic germs, with which they had
become infected before they
reached Kansas, and that the
sick grasshoppers in turn in
fected the pastures of the state,
from which the horses contract
ed the disease. Or, If the sgrass
hoppers did not infect the pas
lures, the horses ate the dead
bodies of the grasshoppers and
so got the germs into their sys-
TENS.
Mr.. Graham wrote a letter to
the authorities of the United
States department of agriculture
explaining his views and has re-
ceived reply from the acting
secretary of agriculture stating
that his theory has been forward
ed to the government veterinar-
ians who are now at work in
Kansas.
about four, five, or six weeks
ago eastern Kansas was visited
by great many grasshoppers,
coming here, as l understand,
from the west, sometimes in
flocks but mostly thinly distrib-
uted." Mr.. Graham said in his
letter to the department of agri-
culture, These hoppers were
of the common large variety,
naturally active and wild and al
ways hard to catch, but these in
question sat around stupidity and
made no effort to get away when
in danger of being stepped on.
Evidently they were sick them
selves, suffering from an infec-
tious disease. If this is correct
then the conclusion would follow
that these hoppers may have in
fected the horses have eaten the
infected grass and thus contract
ed the disease.

Mary Deming, widow of Hollis c. Black,
died at her home in Wollaston, Mass, last
Saturday, Dec. q, after long illness.
Mrs. Black was born at Somesville,
daughter OF DR.. Harvey F. and Mary Lord
Deming. When child, upon the death of
her father, the family moved to Ellsworth,
where she grew to womanhood, and where
she was married.
For twenty years they lived at the Black
homestead on State street; one son was
born TO them. In 1889 the family moved
to Massachusetts,, and since the death OF
her husband she had continued to live
there.
The funeral was held at her late home
Sunday, Dec. q, Rev. Joseph Walther,
pastor of the Woliaston Baptist church, of
which she was q member, officiating.
Mrs. Black leaves one son-Harvey D., and
two grsndsons. The remains were
brought TO Ellsworth, accompanied by her
son, and laid to rest in the family lot at
Woodeine cemetery, where prayer was
offered by Rev. p. A. A. Killam, OF the
Ellsworth Baptist church, OF which the
deceased was formerly member.

Not ssPlayiny Politics.,

President Taft resents the charge
that be was s9playing politics" in his
recent order placing all fourth class
postmasters under the civil service.
In his third message to Congress
since the opening of the present SEES
sion the President says:
'.Criticism has been made of this order on
the ground that the motive was political
Nothing could be further from the truth
The order was made before election and in
the interest of efficient public service.
~ have several times requested Congress to
give me authority to put first, second and
third-class postmasters and all other local
officers, including internal revenue officers,
customs officers, United States marshaIs. and
the local agents of other officials, under the
classification of the civil service, by taking
away the necessity for confirming such APP
pointments by the Senate.
81 deeply regret the failure of Congress to
follow these recommendations. The change
would have taken out of politics practically
every local cd qf4 weaid have entirely
cured the evt's ae1as cat of what under
the present law, ways remain rem
nant of the spoiis system"

Primaries for Postmasters?

n
Senator Bristow, of Kansas, has in
troduced bill in Congress which viii
put to the test as never before the
real attitude of Congressman towards
public patronage. Opinion is divided
as to whether the privilege of be-
slowing offices is really an advantage,
but the notion is pretty general that
it is so regarded.
Senator Bristow's bill provides for a
preference primary for the appoint
ment OF postmssters, which would
affect the appointment of every post,
master in the United States who re-
ceives $500 or more year. His plan
is to hold a nominating election for
postmasters hereafter where va
cancies occur for the purpose of fill
ing the Office by the voice of the
people.
The candidate receiving the largest
number of votes cast in the nominal
! ing district would be appointed by the
postmaster general and would serve
for term of five years. The bill also
provides that only after full hearing
on written charges could a postmas-
ter to be removed.
1t will be interesting to watch the
course of this bill.

catching him before he had passed into
the blaze Of the limelight. | could
fancy the sudden Amusement OF the
audience and the wild roar OF laughter
that would follow when in the midst
of this most sad and pathetic of scenes
would enter unheralded this gorgeous
anachronism."
Mr. Ssoker confessed that he was
tempted to let the splendid accident oc-
