MT. Taft's Steam Roller Active

Those who think the steam roller was placed in the barn after the Chi cago convention had adjourned do not understand the Taft administration. There is no machine in the country that is kept more busily at work. This work is now done by states or dis tricts, however, rather than before. the national eye in a national convention. In Alabama the rotund forms of h. spector Fairly, Postmaster Thomas of Ensley and Postmaster Lewis of Bes- semer have already been flattened out and cast into private life. This work of the steam roller is notice to all other federal officials that they are expected to be true to Taft and to assail at every opportunity the bull moose. If the lesson be not sufficient ly impressive other offending officials will be steam rollered until the situa- tion stands out plain and unquestioned
 The new postmaster at Bessemer J. H. McEniry, says he "has always been Taft man." This is the quail fication demanded. This is the quail fication that will keep at bay the steam roller when nothing else will. Dr. c. R. Lewis, who has just beer flattened out, officially speaking, was and is warm supporter of the bull moose, and he will no doubt be ar honored delegate at Chicago on Au- gust 5. l.,

Party Control in 1916

The Baltimore convention directed the national committee to incorporate in the call for the next convention a requirement that all presid ntial pref erences and all delegates should be selected in primaries. It further pro- vided that each state should elect in a primary national committeeman and that the term of that committee man should begin at once.
 This is wise provision. No na- tional committee appointed four years before can be as representative as one chosen on the spot by the people themselves. The new committee will represent the party of 1916, instead of the party of. 1912.
 The proceedings at Chicago illus trated the importance and value of this reform. Fortunately, this reform is now party law, and there is no ap- peal from it. It must be carried out in New York as well as in Alabama, in Illinois and in Georgia alike.
 In 1916 new national committee will be at hand to prepare the pre- liminary roll call, and to name a tenn porary chairman. This committee will come fresh from the rank and file of the party, and the reform will certainly increase the activity and con- fidence of the people in the party. The democratic party should be kept close to the people and as far as possible from the bosses.

REMEMBER THE HORSE

From the St. Louis Times.
 The time of year has arrived when the humane man will give special thought to the horse that serves him. and which is placed under extraordinary disadvan- bined.
 Every summer it is a common sight to see dead or dying horse along some city thoroughfare-ruined, Gin almost every case, because of ignorant or inhuman treatment.
 Burdens should be lghtened somewhat; schedules should be made more elastic; snd the driver who stops on the way to ei.joy himself, and then trots his team up hill or down, or who even begrudes times for his charges to stop at foun- tains on the way should be given a posi- tion where he has less chance to be brutal.
 Arguments in favor of better treatment of horses frequently elcts the statement is warm. But perhaps a majority of heat prostrations among men are trace able to excesses or to ailments which di- minish the body's resistance power. Moreover, a man has the right to choose his own employer. his own work; and a horse has no such advantage.
 In a majority of cases where horses drop from the heat, ignorance or cruel tx has been the cause. Let every man who drives horse, or who owns one. give passing thought to the dumb beasts helpfessness. and to his faithful ness Also, let the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals exert q double measure of precaution.

ress three years, and the full and final report covers 500 printed pages. The country is chiefly indebted to Commissioner Franklin K. Lane for this uncovering of great public transportation abuse.
 The proposed reduction of rates af- fects chiefly packages of less than 12 pounds each. The proposed new rates extend from 21 cents for a one pound package up to 12 cents a pound for additional pounds, according to dis tance A package weighing two pounds could be sent from New York to Birmingham for 24 cents, for ex- ample The proposed reduction on small packages will be from 20 to 32 per cent. The average family receives from five to ten packages a year, and the proposed reduction would affect the cost of living.
 The country has been divided into blocks one degree of latitude wide and one degree of longitude long, and the rate from one block to another is to be published under the new plan.
 The express companies agree to comply with all suggested changes of the commission except the reduction of rates. The subject of rates will be discussed before the commission on October 5, and they will probably be put into effect soon afterward.
 The entire report is an admirable exposition of the methods of the ex- press companies which are based as rule on the theory that the charge should be what the traffic will bear.

RooseveIt's Popularity

Personally. Colonel Roosevelt Is as popular as ever. and he will surprise some people by the large vote he polls in November" said J. P. Grafton of Pennsylvania.
 'I have been voting the republican ticket ever since I was old enough, my first ballot being cast for Garfield in 1880. Some of my friends are for Taft, and they claim that he will carry Penn sylvania, but I see enough to inspire hope that Roosevelt will get the 3s cleo toral votes from the keystone state. do not think there is any question about Roosevelt carrying California, Kansas, Washington and some of the other western states. I am not poli- tician, but business took me west some weeks ago, and met many more Roosc- welt mon than I met Taft men--four or five to one.
 As to the democratic ticket. Wilson seems to be very strong candidate, and his chances for election are by no means poor. If Roosevelt can't get 1t had rather see Wilson President than to see the old republican machine triumph"

Rats and Bubonic Plague

Cuba has, it is declared, no case of bubonic plague. The suspected case s'has proven negative" to use medi- cal phrase, and the quarantine against the big island has been relaxed.
 But Porto Rico has two centers of "the black death," one at San Juan, and one at Santurce where the Ameri- can colony is clustered. All told 39 cases have been found in Poto Rico, and Santurce has today nine of these.
 The hope now is that the plague will be confined to Porto Rico. All vessels from Porto Rico should be quarantined until every rat on them has been killed. The rats on board ship become carriers of the disease through the active agency of fleas. The fleas pass ing from human victim infect rats which quickly die, but the fleas do not. The fleas leave a dying rat to infect another rat, or a cat or a dog. All these animals found on board a ship from Porto Rico should be killed.
 The disease was by stringent meas ures driven away from the Pacific ocean to reappear around the Carib- bean sea where Immigration and rigid quarantine measures are difficult be- cause of slovenly population.
 Before 1894 the disease had re- mained dormant long time. It ap- peared in that year in Manchuria. Ii spread to China, and now it is present in Venezuela and Porto Rico. Dr. Rupert Blue, the present surgeon gen eral of the United States public health and marine hospital service, is an ex- pert in plague conditions. It was he who drove the disease out of San Francisco. He says that ground squirrels as well as rats, cats and dogs can spread the disease. Any ani- nal infested with fleas can do 1t. It is estimated that more than a million of rats were killed in San Francisco. We are indebted to Dr. Persin of the Pasteur institute in Paris and to Dr. Katasato of the Japanese imperial service for the discovery that fleas carried by rats are the chief dissemi- nators of the disease. A crusade against the rats of the gulf ports should be inaugurated.

THE MAN FROM THE BUSH

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The young man from the bush faced the baseball manager.
 'Well?" said the latter
 I'm a novelty player" the youth cheerily announced
 Whats the novelty?"
 I'm warmer-up.'
 You're warming me up all right What is it?''
 When the pitcher begins to weaken an t'other fellow touch him up, then get out alongside the bleachers and chuck tn ball to tn change catcher, an tn crowd says they're warmin' up tn young phenom' from Skedoo. an tn pitcher gets scared an takes brace an wins tn game. Seer
 The manager regarded the ingenious youth with a serious air.
 "Bushy," he remarked. you sure are too good a thing to lose. I'll see if I can't get you job pluggin' knothoes in tn right field fence"
 All right chirped the phenom'

ROPE HoRsEsHOEs
From the New York Evening Sun.

From the New fork EVenlnB ouh.
 owing to the rapid increase in the mileage of streets paved with asphalt and wood blocks. and to the congestion of traffic in the large cities it was found necessary to afford greater safe ty for horses, to prevent their slipping, and to enable them to come to quick stop. This has been attained by fitting them with rope horseshoes. These years ago, but 1t Is only during the last decade that the industry has grown to large proportions.
 Various forms and shapes of shoes are used. Some are open at the back like an ordinary horseshoe. Others are closed, and very often besides being closed, there Is a bridge or crosspiece joining the two sides. When this is the case the bridge Is constructed like the rest of the shoe, enclosing a tarred rope. There are usually eight nail holes in each shoe; and in order to strength en the bottom, and especially to make the nail holes more secure, the walls of the groove are sometimes rein forced by braces. The space in the center of the shoe, is often covered over with various kinds of inserts to protect the frog from injury. The latest novelty. which has been adopted by the royal stables, Is the insertion at the back of the shoe of a block of wood into which stiff bristles have been driven. This is an additional preven- tive against slipping. When the ground Is covered with snow a special ice plate Is inserted in its steao.
 It Is customary to use special nails with long beads in attaching the shoes nails are used 1t Is possible to drive them in and to extract them without taking out the rope. These nails, which are driven between the outer side of the groove and the tarred rope, also help to hold in the rope The tarred rope wears down simultaneous ly with the rest of the shoe. and 1t is must be withdrawn and new inserted. This change can be made without re- moving the shoe. The average life of a rope horseshoe is six to eight weeks
 The advantages and disadvantages of the rope shoe can be summarized as follows: Advantages-They are light and comfortable for the horse; they help to prevent slipping; they break the concussion and deaden the sound of the hoof. Disadvantages-The driving of the nails requires more care; the black smith must have in stock larger quantity of shoes of various shapes and sizes. Great care has to be taken in the preparation of rope horseshoes not to overheat the iron nor to ham mer it when too cold, otherwise it will crack on the anvil
 In addition to the plain tarred rope horseshoe there are shoes in which rope interwoven with wire, wood rub Der, copper, wirework, rush, etc., is used. These are heavier. somewhat more expensive and less practical than the plain rope shoes, and therefore have not become so well established.

Home Seeker. of the south

q have no statistics at hand but from my general observation l would say that more home seekers have moved from the north to the southern states within the past three years than In any former period of 10 years" said L. G' Bristow of Chicago.
 "I imagine that more foreign immi- grants of the better class will be seek ing small farms in the south for this section Is being better advertised now than it was in former years say better advertised; by that. I mean more intellRentiy and persistently.
 "A German told me the other day that when he left the fatherland seven or eight years ago there was an impress sion among many of his countrymen that all the southern states were pop ulated mostly by negroes. I am told that even in England the cotton states are often referred to as the black coun- try To get the truth about the negro into the head of the foreigner has been a work requiring persistent, well directed advertising effort.
 q visit the south occasionally and know from what I have seen and heard that while negro labor Is valuable and appreciated the entire south Is dom mated entirely by white men of brains and character.
 Alabama is certainly an attractive state for home seekers and I have no doubt but that it will continue to in- crease rapidly in population"

Committeeman William D. Jelks

The Associated Press says that Gov ernor Wilson deserves to have the national committeeman in each state direct the campaign in his own state subject of course to advice from the chairman of the national committee. The latter will see that consistency becomes a feature of the national campaign, but aside from that the national committeeman from each state will be expected to take charge of the work in his own state.
 Fortunately Alabama has in ex- Governor William D. Jelks a commit teeman whom all have confidence in. His long service of the state was marked by a full treasury and by general prosperity. He can scarcely be said to have an enemy in the state, and that is saying good deal when it is remembered that after legislative career he became chief executive for "a full term and part of another term.
 Governor Jelks will prove an ad- mirable campaign manager. He is now in Chicago, and he will no doubt come home we'll equipped with plans and points to be applied during an interesting campaign.

CLEVER COUNTERFEITER

iFrom the Chicago Tribune.
 A counterfeiter is working in Chicago and has passed several bills, most of which have been changed from s10 to s10O.
 Capt Thomas l. Porter of the United States secret service bureau, received enc of the raised bills, which had been rassed on the Corn Exchange National baAk. The bank was unable to trace 1t to the original possessor.
 The bill was sf0 note on the American National bank of Steubenville. O. It was raised to a s10o bill denomination by pasting on an additional cipher. A s1o bill was cut up for the purpose.
 This is the sixth s1o0 bill of the kind received by Captain Porter. The others were on the Wisconsin National bank or Milwaukee. Others of smaller denomina- tions, evidently the work of the same ccuntcrfeiter, have turned up.
