War on Typhoid Fever.

Once more the relation of typhoid
fever to the water supply has been
demonstrated. During the flood OF
some weeks ago the Hudson river at
Albany, N. Y. rose foot above the
city filtration beds, and the people re-
ceived the untreated water of the riv.
er, containing the sewage of places
upstream. An outbreak of typhoid fol
lowed, and 1t was found that rs per
cent. of the cases were In families
where the warning to boil the water
for drinking had not been needed. The
main reservoir was then sterllized
chemically, and the typhoid ceased
Modern medicine has done great
things in making preventable what in
other days were reckoned to be the
visitations of God. Our grandfathers
wondered at the prevalence of ty-
phoid after foods, but we know that
the trouble comes from the contaml-
nation of water supplies, and SO lives
are saved where once human beings
were doomed. Year by year the sci.
ence of sanitation ia reducing the peril

While there he was introduced to

Now, Manuel's last name is pro

thought 1t something else. The mis-

What Happened When the irish
Policeman Thought Green
Was Red.
BY HAROLD CARTER.

To be put back on patrol duty after
fourteen years Of steady desk work,
and when one is approaching forty
and conscious Of an increasing girth,
is enough to distress any ordinarily
constituted policeman. Dennis Fla
herty was no exception to the rule.
He told his wife the news at dinner.
"They haven't got grudge against
you. Dennis7" she asked, fearful as all
women are at the thought that their
husbands positions are insecure.
EMO, It's Commissioner Everett,

about the transfer. Now Flaherty
was condemned to pound the side
walks, at the instance of the unsym-
pathetic and reforming police commits
sioner, and there was no redress.
However, he minded less than
Nora. In spite of his ample girth he
considered himself well able to defend
the majesty of the law against the
strikers, who, with flags flying and
bands playing, paraded the business
section of the town daily. There were
not enough police to preserve order.
Citizens had been sworn In on special
duty. and conflicts were frequent.
''If can't do desk work I'll show
'em they've got the best cop in town
down at the quay, Nora" he said to
his wife at the end of the first day.
They've never put you on post
down there!" exclaimed his wife in
horror.
The Quay was the name locally
given to the bridge which crossed the
river between two factory districts.
The strikers had constantly endeav-
ored to cross it in parade, but each
time they had been repealed. How
ever, on the morrow, as they had pub
licly advertised, they meant to march
over the bridge in grand procession
to the city hall And this the mayor
had sworn they should not do.
"There'll be nigh on a hundred of
us, Nora" answered Flaherty. II
guess can take care of meself, wo-
man"
He felt prouder than ever of his
uniform on the next day when, stand
ing in platoon with his comrades, he
watched the mob forming in the lower
section of the town. There was the
sound of distant music. Flaherty
started and frowned. Why, this was
sacrilege. The band was playing 1.-THE

Criticising the
Supreme Court.

Mr.. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes,
Of the supreme court made a speech
some time ago at dinner in New York
which has just been made public in the
fern of a senate document. Just how
this speech has any business being
part of the Congressional Record is not
clear but that is another story. Mr..
Justice Holmes, who, by the way, is
the son of his father, the distinguished
"Autooat of the Breakfast Table"
says the criticisms of the motives ac-
tuating the court makes his heart ache.
The justice says these criticisms are
the expressions of unrest. Then he
goes on to say that the important truth
to be extracted from the popular dis
consciously or unconsciously read their
sympathies prematurely into the law.
That is just it. Mr.. Justice Holmes
never told a clearer truth. The men
on the supreme bench and in fact most
of the federal judges have been ap
associations, training, education, en-
vironment and sympathy have been
with the corporations. the rich and
the powerful and against the masses
of the people. They may have done
it unconsciously but the fact remains
they have and do read into the law,
without the shadow of constitutional
or legal right, their personal desires
and opinions.
When the judges confine their de-
cisions to the law as enacted and cease
usurping the legislative powers of the
government these criticisms that
cause Oliver Wendell Holiness heart
to ache will not be so frequent.
In brief, the people want less judge
made law.

For some reason that has never been
explained, the trusts and monopolies

His order that banks shall pay two

| tegrity and sunshine that has eman-
| ated from the discretionary powers
! conferred upon that office by congress
| since the memory Of man runneth not

| 1t is the first real evidence that the
money. changers were really kicked out
! of the temple at Baltimore as your
| editorial tells us.
| OF course you were there and helped
| do the kicking, and much depended
upon the Florida delegation. If that
/ is what was really done at Baltimore
if that is really the democracy of
1913, hurrah for the democrats!
L have been fighting since 1873 for
| an honest money. Not for cheap,
worthless money, but for valuable, re-
| liable money. Money regulated by
law. Money that every citizen could
take and rely upon. Money good to
loan, and just as good TO pay every
debt borrowed, An honest, one priced
money. A money the value thereof
regulated by congress and not by gam
bIers.
Don't think for one moment that
am in favor of granting such discre-
tionary powers to any executive Of
fcer, but I am saying it breaks all
precedent, since Jacksons and Tyler's
time, to have an executive officer with
such discretionary powers use them to
defend and not rob the treasury.
Hurrah for McAdoo!
I see that many banks are already
clamoring for loans.
There is no reason why any bank
with good security should not be sup
piled with every dollar of money it
can use proftably at three per cent.
The law I have written fixes the in
| terest rate at three per cent, to all
persons or corporations of a private
character, and one per cent to states,
cities, counties, etc, with the reason
for such difference in rate given in
the law.
