LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Foot and Mouth Disease.

AIr. Editor: We read in our daily papers that the veterinary surgeons find one or two cows i'll with so-called foot and mouth disease, and the next day we read that an entire herd of 50 or more has been killed. The veteri- nary surgeon gets his pay, as he should: the state cattle commissioners get theirs, as they should. The owner of the cattle gets his, as he should, and the beef trust gets its as it--- I won't say should, while the poor man who buys the milk and meat gets his in the neck, aS he has, been doing for some time. The men that are ex- perts probably know their busineSs- as they should-but it looks to an ob- server as if the same old party is made to suffer. Can there not be some way of curing this disease bet ter than killing 92 well cows that may never come down with it, because six others are sick?
 Would it not be well to isolate the herd and let our COW doctors try their hand at curing them? Even if they failed, there is a chance that some thing might be learned by experiment. ing that would be of future benefit. Only a few days ago a sick COW was found in Rhode Island: the owner said it had been driven over the road from Plainfield, Conn.
 Careful investigation proves that there has not been the first sign of the UlSedS6 III 1idlHueIUi AOlll" NOW wouldn't it have been nice to slaugh- ter a lot of Plainfield cows because someone in Rhode Island who had the disease, and knew it, said it was driven over the road from Plainfleld, Conn. 9"
 I don't pretend to know anything about the disease, but I do know that the man who has to buy his milk by the quart and meat by the pound is being squeezed like the dickens when a herd of cows numbering 92 well and six sick are all killed and the owner paid $90 apiece for them. Looks to me like mighty good business, having sick cattle in Rhode Island and AIassachu- setts.

FOUR OR THREE MILE couRsEf

From time to time changes have been urged in the collegiate rowing contests which would shorten the four mile course to three for eight cared varsity crews. This idea has obtained varying degrees of support dependent upon what actuated the advocate. It's revival is expected after a. gruelling struggle in which a number collapse from exhaustion or following the death at an Untime1y age of an athlete who had weakened his heart through such q. test of endurance. Nothing has, however, resulted in any determined effort to bring about the change
 It was only a few months ago that the University of Wisconsin put the han upon rowing because of the detri- nertal physical effects. Whether that prompted the channpionipg of the shorter course for the intercollegiate contests by Cornell is not disclosed but it is significant that this leader among the colleges maintaining crews should be urging the shorter course The effect of CorneITs move is likely to be greater than as if put forward by one of the tailenders. It cannot be claimed that Cornell is urging this change to gain advantage, for it has maintained it's station at the front with great regularity
 It is apparently Q question whether it is worth while to maintain the four mile course in view of the fact that just as much of 3. contest and less harm are to be obtained from the cut ting off of a mile. The increased at- tention which it is receiving would seem to indicate the advisability ot the shorter course.

WHY SHE LEFT HOME.

 Did the pipes burst?" inquired the other woman.
 sPipes." scornfully echoed the fur ried lady. 'Is that your idea of domestic catastrophe?

Did I want to buy a new ice book and should Samuel cut the grass again or was it too late in the season?
 T descended to talk with Samuel in the kitchen and the front doorbell rang. It was the electrician arriving to see what was wrong with the bells and had to hunt the key to the fruit cupboard in the basement, where the batteries chance to be placed. He knocked down and broke only two jars of preserves, so I suppose l shouldn't complain-only the juice spattered my light tailor suit skirt.
 While I was mopping it off, the doorbell rang again and l was sum- moned to see the laundryman, who said he didn't see how it could have happened, but in some way our pack age of laundry had not been put on the wagon and would it make any diff ference if it didn't come till to-mor- row?

 'tAt this the sewing woman called down that she couldn't t-do one thing more till she had a spool of A silk, dark maroon and a yard of percaline, so I threw on my things and dashed down to the dry goods store around the corner. When I got home there was word to call up a phone number, which l did, after being told by sew eral strange persons over the wire. Just a minute, pleasen
 While I waited, receiver glued on ,ar I could plainly smell the pudding or dinner burning in the kitchen. I hrielled for the maid and just as some ne said 'Hello!' in my ear over the hone both the sewing woman and the laid responded to my cry and kept want? The party on the phone be- gan to demand that I return those papers-and then insisted on apologiz- ing and telling the story of his life when he was convinced by my expost- ulations he had the wrong party.
 Then I got into a, big apron and gloves and began hoeing out a clothes closet, when 1 heard the bell ring again. The maid reported it was a lady asking for me by name and who

 'T sighed. Some of my husbands long lost relatives, ] presumed We'll, in these hard times it never would do to offend an unknown relative, who might be a millionaire in disguise, so I peeled off my gloves and apron, tidied my hair and powdered over the dust on my nose and gracefully de- scended.
 "A ladylike person greeted me and then, seating herself, bent upon me a searching. soulful gaze, but said noth- ing. An I thought, unconfortably, husbands relative must be- little queer mentally Then she spoke.

OVERLOOKED LONG ENOUGH

The needs of Alaska have besM lRs forth in different ways for a long time, It is g. great storehouse of undevelooed wealth affording attractive possibilities in many lines of effort. l. is a. tsrri- tory to which this country can look for long time to come for the SUD- plying of many wants and yet if fails 10 get the attention which it deserves. In the past year according to the re- port of Alas<a's governor the mineral output of the country amounted to nineteen and a. half million dollars while the fishing industry did Q. bus mess of nearly sixteen million dollars This, under the existing conditions, in- licates the possibilities though it is set forth that these figures are sev- aral thousand less in both instances han in the preceding year, due to the effect which war has upon the activt. ties.

A TREMENDOUS PRICE.

Many and widespread are the ex. pressions deploring the great loss which is being sustained through the ravages of the foot and mouth dis ease It is natural that it is felt the condition is one which should have been avoided through proper use of authority by those who are appointed for the very purpose of preventing such a danger from spreading through out the country.
 A situation which is highly detri- mental, if it exists as indicated, is that which is revealed by the Boston News Bureau when 1t says What o weak administration at the state house means is likely to be exemplified throughout the state unless more en- ergetic measures are taken by someone in authority to check the spread of the hoof and mouth disease. Although there is supposed to be a. state quar- antine, carloads of cattle continue to arrive from New York at Brighton, and the Brighton yards from which the disease has been spread about New England, have not been thoroughly disinfected and cleaned up. Herds that have begun to be affected are ordered to be kept together and the same men are permitted to attend to both the sick and well COWS, with the result, of course, of spreading the disease"
 If this shows the situation as it is, and it is a condition which exists in all the states where the disease has been discovered, there is no reason to be surprised at the manner and rapidity with which it has spread. If the existing epidemic is the result of laxity among the inspecting authori- ties it is a tremendous price which na- tion, state and individual are paying for tho failure to enforce laws and regulations.

DECISIVE BATTLES SCARCE,

Tremendous as are the numbers in volyed in the war in Europe and pro- portionately great the slaughter. yet there is g. lack of decisive battles Things looked bad for the allies at first when they were driven back to within twenty-five miles of Paris, but that strategical retreat resulted in the sending back of the army of invasion to Belgium and northern France. The hattie Of Aisne gained new laureIs for the allies and the checking of the Rus sian army in Prussia when it appear ed to be sweeping everything before it altered the situation along that bat tie line.
 In Galicia the. Russian troops have operated with success against the -Austriaus, while the German army has swept across little Belgium but so far there has been no noticeable advance as the result of the supreme effort of the ilaiser's men to reach Dun1iTk and the coast. Advances and retreats have alternated along the lengthy battle line in the western the ater of war the same as it has in Po- land, There at the present time is ,waited what the Germans hope will be a decisive battle, but they were but recently driven from an earlier position before Warsaw and it will be the first time during the war thai such has occurred if Germany is now able to crush the superior Russian forces.
 Weak spots have developed at diff ferent points as the war has progress ed. but the millions OF men involved and the readiness with which rein. Agreements in all branches of the army have been available has upset many plans and prevented what was intend. ed as a decisive engagement

OSBORNE AT SING SING.

More than ordinary interest is di- rected at this time to the change in wardens at Sing Sing prison in the state of New York, both because of the crying need for reform in the methods of conducting that peniten- tfary and because of the man who has been placed in charge. Instead of be- ing conducted as penal institution, Sing Sing has been made the hive of political corruption. Money and in f1uence have been in control and di- rected a dangerous partiality Pris- oners with the proper pull have sim ply made that their headquarters in deference to their sentence, but have been permitted to visit other cities, and given the use Of the prison auto, for the transaction Of private busi-
 ness.
 In accepting the wardenship Thomas
 Mott Osborne does so with 8 reaIiza-
 tion of the responsibilities which go with the office He has Likewise gained some insight as to prison conditions through personal investigation and un- occasionally enjoys the confidence of 9 large portion of the people The ap- poiutment gives to him the opport1- nifty for which he has long been seek ing since he has devoted much time to the study of prison problems and
 has many theories concerning pen aIogy, the value or fallacy of which
 he will have the chance to work out under the TespoRsi oility which he as- su1nes, but without Ignoring the fact that he has a duty to render to the state as well as to the prisoners. There are deserving reforms which that prison needs which should be forth coming while there is also reason to believe that the principle of a square l deal will replace corruption.

 There is no question but what Alas ka has been neglected and that too lit tie attention has been paid to it's value as part of this country.
