Get Out And Flight.

Next Monday is the last day up
ON which candidates for office in
the forthcoming primaries can file
their nomination papers.
There may have been times when
the prospect of beating the machine
in the primaries was better than it
is today, but if so we cannot re-
call them. Particularly would this
seem to be an appropriate time to
place few good men on the State
Central Committee. If the Old
Guard carries out its intention of
making a stand behind Vandiver for
State chairman it will help the
people to realize how utterly out
of tune with the times it is and
how much the whole organization
needs changing.
The strength of a machine lies
in the unwillingness of the avera ge
good citizen TO oppose it actively.
But there ought to be sufficient
number of ambitious young men
in the city, young men who see
the trend of present-day politics
and the drift toward democracy of
the Woodrow Wilson type, to form
fighting ticket for some of the
offices that will be contested IN
these primaries.-Balto. Sun.

preston on you, remarks the Kansas
! City Star. Shocked, you would begin
to revise your estimate Of your friend
and regard him with suspicion. Later
you might happen to stumble on to the
fact that the detailed story so discred-
table to him was false. Eventually
you would be assured that the preju-
dices of your companion who gave you
the warning had run away with him
and that your friend was all right.
AS a person grows older he learns
that most persons are constitutionally
inaccurate, that they will relate the
widest rumors as II they were real
facts. and that it is the commonest
thing in the world for a person to re-
late as II true Q discreditable Incl
dent that he actually knows nothing
about. Prejudice, or even the love Of
. well embroidered story, will run
away with the average man or woman.

HOW FLIES CARRY INFECTION
Strong Wind, Blowing Steadily, May
Convey Them Many Miles From
,s. AFFLICTED Region. "

j4 1t seems that the inlet cribs in Lake
Erie for the water supply Of Cleveland
are overrun with flies. The crib far
thest out in the lake Is six miles from
shore Last summer Professor Hodge,
being in Cleveland, was asked to go
out to the cribs and look the situation
over. He went, and as stated found
all the cribs supporting numerous
ny population of blue bottles, stable
flies, and Musca domestica. The six
mile inlet was as bad as any of the
others There was nothing on the
cribs for: the fies to feed upon. and
careful inquiry showed that transpor-
,tation by boat was extremely inprob-
able. The professor was led to the
conclusion. therefore, that the flies
were blown out over the six-mile
stretch OF water by the strong south
winds. ID.
y II they are transported this distance
over water, the possible extent Of their
travel ashore must be very consider
able Assuming a steady and strong
wind blowing In the same direction for
some time, the chance Of flies from an
infected region being blown in success
sive flights ten. fifteen,s or even TWEEN
ty.fve miles, deserves at least consid-
eration.-New York Evening Post.
