nerves Of the democratic leaders at

In this feeling there is nothing un-

mistake.
Leaders Getting impatient.
Party leaders who have gone from
Washington to Trenton since Mr.. Will
sons return from Bermuda, and who
have come back to their colleagues
at the capitol no wiser than when
they went away. are much mystined.
These men are not disposed to drop
their advice into slot and await
results. but believe the democratic
party Ia a cooperative affair.
The speech delivered in the house
by Representative Thetus w. Sims Of
Wilson against men who would give
him misinformation about public ques.
tions and men. reflected to a great ex
tent this uneasiness that Is manifest
Ing itself here. Mr.. Sims said that
he had no individuals in mind when
he made that speech.
Although Gov Wilson has been the
president-elect barely two months. he
has already given the democrats in
congress a distinct impression Of
aloofness. There are many who are
in the habit Of going to see President
Taft when they feel inclined, but feel
they would not be welcome at Tren.

that Gov. Wilson desires to see only
those whom he sends for.

Mr.. Sims speech also reflects the
view which some well-informed per-

administrations. There has been much

Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt and mem.

URGE WEsTERNER
Democratic Senator'S Send Advice IL
Wilson Anent Cabinet.

Wilson Anent Cabinet.
Washington, Jan. 15.-As the result
OF a conference held today by a mum.
ber of western democratic senator's. a
letter soon will be forwarded to Pres
ident-elect Wilson urging the selection
of a far western man for secretary OF
the interior.
The western senators say that Gov
ernor Wilson has indicated prefer
ence for a man from the middle west
for this position on the ground that he
would be more conservative on the
question Of the conservation of the
natural resources than would man
from either the far west or the far
east.
The Rocky mountain and Pacific
coast senators make the point that
men from the middle west are just
as badly informed regarding the well
fare Of the public land states as are
those of the extreme eastern states.
They point out that the head of the
interior department will be called up
on to deal not only with conserva-
ton, but with public lands and Indian
affairs. and contend that only the To-
cal men understand them.

hind closed doors. The ratification OF
his appointment. sent to the senate by

war college to the highest grade In the
military service.
Senator Bristow of Kansas led the
night against the promotion of Cen
eral Wetherspoon from the rank Of
brigadier general to the rank of ma
1or general. He declared the officer
had not had sufficient field experience
and asserted that Generals Funston.
Crozier, Bliss. Allen, Pershing. Gar

by experience to promotion ahead of
General Wetherspoon.
The fight for General Wetherspoon
was won by vote Of SO to IA. 1t is

WILL USE SHEEP IN
FIGHT AGAINST TICK
Secretary Houston Authorizes
Novel War on Bearer of
Deadly Spotted Fever.

Sheer are TO be used in a campaign
against the deadly spotted fever tick in
the Bitterroot National Forest, in Mon
tana.
Secretary Of Agriculture Houston has
authorized the free grazing of 800 head
as a part of a novel experiment in trap
ping the fever ticks that have long
menaced this section. 1t will be re-
called that year ago DR.. McClintic, of
the Public Health Service, died a
martyr TO the campaign for the study
and control of spotted fever, as spread
by the fever tick.
In the new campaign with sheep the
Public Health Service. the Forest Serv-
ice, of the Department of Agriculture,
and the sheep raisers are cooperating.
Extensive experiments have shown that
the sheep will not only collect the ticks,
but that the heavy wool entangles them
and prevents their taking a hold 10
draw blood.
1t is the general belief Of the leading
medical authorities that the myste-
rious and frequently fatal disease COM
mCnly known as spotted fever Is spread
by the tick Dermacentor andersoni,
which, in parts Of the Bitterroot forest,
occurs in such abundance that II con-
stitutes real menace TO man and beast.
The plan proposed contemplates the
grazing Of two bands OF sheep upon the
parts of the forest where the tick is
most abundant, with the idea that large
numbers OF the ticks will attach them
selves to the sheep. Then, as occasion
requires. the sheep will be freed Of the
ticks by being dipped in an inseCticide
solution. which will kill the ticks with
OUT in any way injuring the sheep.
The engOrging of the female tick with
blood is one Of the essential functions
OF reproduction. and this engorging
must of necessity take place upon the
larger mammals which serve as hosts
to the tick. The United States Blolog-
teal Survey has reached the conclusion
that the great bulk Of the fever ticks
which become filled with blood get their
supply while alta ched to domestic stock
and that II the domestic animals are
freed Of ticks by dipping. by spraying.
o. by some other effective method Of
treatment. the chances of the infection
OF human beings will be vastly reduced
OF the different domestic animals the
sheep Is the most readily handled and
the easiest to dip or treat. Hence the
selection Of sheep for use in the expert
ment.
