FIRST THINGS

Collodion, which is used in Medicine, surgery and Photography, was first discovered by Dr. Josiah Curtis, who was born in Cinnecticut ninety-six years ago today: Maynard of Boston is believed to have first perfected the process for the manufacture of the fluid, but pr. Curtis is said to have originated the idea and to have been the first to make use of collodion In surgery. Collodion is made by dissolving guncotton in mixture of alcohol and ether, while other in- gradients are added for the different uses of the substance It's, chief sur gical use is as protection for in- famed surfaces.

HOW MONOPOLY WORKS

A fine example of how the rail- roads of this country 'put on the acrews" is revealed by a study of the statement of earnings issued annual ly by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, one of the anthracite coal carrying roads. The following fig ures show the charge per ton per mile, of hauling anthracite coal and general merchandise, over a period of four years:
 1911 1910 1909 1908 Coal, (cents) O.S3 0.S3 O.S6 O.8S Merchandise, O.67 0.59 0.70 0.7O These figures show that the rail- road gets more for hauling coal than

had been put by majority of the electors.
 Doubtless the people were not much exercised about the recall. They could put it in any time, and did later put it in, after obeying the presidential order.
 But Arizona knew that Taft's attitude was a DENIAL that the PEOPLE of the nation govern it and ARE SOVEREIGN in fact as we'll as in theory.
 This denial they determined-so many of them as were Republicans to punish, and they are busy doing that very thing.
 As for Roosevelt, he fell into sim liar error, when the people of Okla homa made their constitution. He denounced the initiative and referen- dunn. But Roosevelt always keeps his ear to the ground. He does his own political thinking. Thus he heard the far off roar of the approaching movement, and got in out of the wet, at first in series of recantations of his former doctrines, in so far as they people. and finally, in his Columbus speech, which he called "A Charter of Democracy"
 His judgment is we'll enough vindi- cated. The voters of his party find in him a method of asserting that so far as Republicans are concerned, the sovereignty of the people is a fact. They are declining to tolerate chief servant who contumaciously persist ed in gross lese majeste.
 It was certainly stupid of MT. Taft and his advisers to believe that a peo- pie nourished for centuries upon the doctrines formulated in the Declara- tion of Independence would be toler- ant of the notion that ALL of them are to be.governed by an oligarchical FEW of them.
 Roosevelt's sincerity is certainly open to question. The Hartman epi- sode while he was yet chief magis- trate was bad enough; now comes the Harvester Trust incident which to say the least is damning. MT. Roosevelt, if he is again nominated, will find that it is no easy task to convince the American people that George w. Perkins the reputed "an- gel'' of his campaign and whose sup port he glories in. is the pure and unadulterated patriot he would have them believe. Roosevelt is winning now because of Tafts weakness. It will be different when he is face to face with real performer. Instead of having a fat man to attack he will be compelled to defend his own pub lie record, and in the present state of the public mind he will certainly have some explaining to do. Although he was president for practically two terms he knew enough to steer clear of the powerful interests. Isn't it likely that because of this he is now the white haired" boy favored by the Perkinses of the Harvester Trust and the Carnegies of the steel in- terest? :.
 It will be the duty of the Demo- cratic party to nominate for presi- ereignty of the people-a SINCERE MAN whose faith, and devotion to the nation is sincere. Such man will be elected.

News of Taft's recurring misfor- tune come over every wire. In cer- . tain parts of Washington direct pri- .naries have been held. though not throughout the state, since the law is a sort of local option affair These elections have shown less than 10 per cent of the vote for Taft. It begins to look very much as if Tennessee will send a Roosevelt delegation, which would mean that already the office holders are flocking from the presi- dential craft before it sinks. Tho Massachusetts primaries will be held today. If the newspapers which are printed in that state are accepted, Taft Is a sure winner. But the newspapers have been just as strong against Roosevelt in other states yet he has carried them.
 Why does Roosevelt show so much stronger than Taft? Under ordinary circumstances the president, control ling the greatest assemblage of office
  try. would have everything his own way. Roosevelt has, of course, some machine. He even has a following among the office holders, which is in- creasing as those gentlemen discover that Taft cannot be elected. and get the notion that Roosevelt has a bet ter chance. Roosevelt in office stood for the same things that Taft stands for. Anything that he says Taft did which he says was wrong, the evil dence shows he did himself. What then is the source of the tremendous strength of Roosevelt with the Re- publican voters and the weakness of Taft?
 Taft doesn't know anything about the American people. He gets his views of them from clique of trust representatives and agents of privilege who have committed the blunder Of permitting him to array himself against THE VERY PRINCIPLES OF popular government, as the American people UNDERSTAND THOSE PRIN- CIPLES. A president may for the time do this, that, or the other, in dealing with the trusts, without bring ing upon his head a universal con- demnation. The people have not fin ished making up their minds about the trusts

 But the people have finished mak- ing up their minds about popular government. They have been taught that this is a government by, of and for-fse people, and if there is any mistake about how the theory works in PRACTICE they are going to FIN THE MISTAKE. They have been for four or five years busily engaged in fixing the mistake. They have pass ed laws for the direct election of United States senators, for the elim- ination of corruption funds and to stop the bribery of voters, for the in- itiative and referendum, for the re- call, and for direct primaries. They have begun to prevent legislative cor ruption by sending the bribers and bribe takers to jail, or making them wanderers in strange countries.
 While they are thus engaged along comes President Taft with a ban of communication and interdict for Arizona in case that new state shall keep the recall for judges in its con-

FEAR FOR HORSES
Morris County Fair Probably
Will Be Postponed.
Great Bend Claims to Have
Found Cure for Plague.

Because of the epidemic among horses
in Morris county, it is believed that it
will be necessary to postpone the holding
of the Morris county fair. This informa-
ton is contained in a telegram received
from Council Grove today by the State
Journal. The Morris county fair is billed
for September 24-27. Since the disease
reached that county, however there have
been but two or three deaths among
horses. Regardless of this small loss
farmers are worried and fear that the
disease is infectious.
From Lenora today came news that the
disease in that district is spreading rap
idly and the situation is becoming more
alarming More than 125 deaths among
horses have been reported from the dis
trict surrounding A.enora. Linseed oil
and turpentine have been tried by some of
the farmers. but was successful in rare
instances.
Great Bend reports that the disease is
a blood infection and local veterinarian
are confident they have found cure Lor
it. four days treatment on 13 animals
resulted in the saving of 10 of the ant
mails. Veterinarians in Great Bend de-
clare that the disease is not contagious
and is carried by an insect of parasitic
origin.

moved from Body.

Joseph Drake, the young street car
conductor who was assaulted by Jas.
Dunford last winter, was operated up
on at Christ's hospital yesterday af-
ternoon and the bullet he received at
the time of the shooting was removed.
The operation included treatment for
hernia, sustained when the former
wound in the victims abdomen broke
upon following his recovery.
Drake has been in bad health since
his release from the hospital, and suf-
fered a good deal with his wounds.
The bullet which was removed yes
terday, was lodged under his-hip and
was not removed at first on account of
the fear of the surgeons that he would
not recover from the further shock.
