Many Physicians Certificates Disclose
Alterations of Sense in Giving
Cause of Death.

The chief statistician of Wisconsin,
in examing death certificates filed by
physicians with the state board of
health, has discovered and disclosed
some of more than local interest.
They reveal alterations of sense and
science in the diagnosis of disease aid
the causes of death as to merit con-
sideration from reformers who wish
to put nearly every act of human life
under medical supervision.
A few instances must serve to illus
trate the nature of a multitude. One
report is this: Went to bed feeling
will. but woke up dead" Another
says: do not know the cause OF
death, but patient fully recovered from
last Illness" A third reported: Last
illness caused by chronic rheumatism
but was cured before DEATH Still an.
other: Deceased never had been fatal
ly sick" And this: Died suddenly;
nothing serious"
Some reports are mere absurdities
such as: kicked by horse shod on
the left kidney" Died suddenly al
the age of one hundred and three. TIC
this time he bid fair to reach a ripe
old age" Deceased died from blood
poison caused by broken ankle which
Is remarkable as the automobile
struck him between the lamp and the
radiator" A mother Is reported t.
have died in infancy"
The significance Of these reports
lies in the fact that they emanats
from the members of a learned profes
sion dealing with the practice of thai
profession. They serve to caution
those who are eager to clothe these
local doctors with authority to say
who shall marry and who shall not.

Bar Hsrbor Magnate Tells Good Story
In ContradlctIng an Absurd
Rumor.

f. e. Wall, chairman of the select
men of Bar Harbor. laughed at the
story that he proposed to abolish the
turkey trot and bunny hug in the
houses Of the Bar Harbor cottagerR.
There is a little truth in the
story" he said, for we do intend to
supervise our public dances. but to
say we would penetrate with our rules
and regulations into the drawing
rooms of our Observation-Disclosures!
why, this mixture of truth and alb
surdity reminds me of a newspaper
paragraph saw in a country paper
the other day. 1t was an obituary
paragraph, but a fire story had got
mixed with 1t, Just as absurdity has
got mixed with our dance regulations.
and the paragraph ran thus:
The pail bearers lowered the body
into the grave. 1t was consigned to
the flames. There were few If any re-
grets. for the old wreck had been an
syesore to the village for years. OF
course, there was some slight individ-
ual loss, but this was fully covered by
insurance. Good riddance" seemed to
be the universal sentiment"

There Arc Warn and War.

AS one glances over the pages OF
history, one finds wars, It is true.
which are blots upon the records Of
man; but one also finds wars without
which the world would have been in
comparably the poorer that we could
never have done without them. And
one also perceives to his astonish-
ment If he is practical man." that
the wars which have been gigantic
blunders and crimes have all been
wars for the attainment of practical
ends, like territory, or markets, or
wealth, while the wars which the
world could not have done without
have all been wars for abstract prin-
ciples, for beliefs, for religions, for
mad dreams and seemingly impossible
hopes. The world could well spare the
conquests of Napoleon, because the
wars were merely for Napoleon; but
the world could not spare the martial
conflicts surrounding and realizing the
French revolution, because 1t was
war for those abstract and sensible
absurdities, liberty, equality and fra
ternity. We could well spare the
Mexican war, which was a fight for
territory, but we could not at all get
along without the Civil war, which
was war for mantle Atlantic.

A hard bun, combined with a hearty
appetite, made a trap that caught an
English sparrow not long ago in
Washington The sparrow found the
bun on the White House grounds and
liked 1t 30 well that 1t ate its way in
one side and out OF the other. By the
time it had eaten halfway through the
bun, the bird had swslled up SO much
that 1t could not back out and evident
ly concluded that the only thing to do
was to eat its way out the other side.
The sparrow had succeeded In gorg-
Ing itself enough to get its head out
when a park policeman found it.
But Its appetite was not gone. When
the bun was broken open, 1t fiuttered
about for a moment and then few
away to join its friends In feast of
peanut crumbs stolen from the SOUR
rels.-POpular Mechanics

THE Court of Errors and Appeals
handed down decision, on Friday, sus-
tanning the constitutionality of the
alleged Jury reform" bill, and also de.
Gliding that the Legislature has the
power to submit laws to the people by
referendum.
The bill was passed by the legislature
last year. 1t provided that hereafter all
grand and petit juries should be drawn
by commission composed of the sheriff
and one citizen of opposite political faith
from the sheriff, the citizen to be APP
pointed by the chancellor. There was
referendum clause in the bill, requiring
that before adoption it should be voted
upon at a general election. 1t was sub
mitted to vote last fall and carried by
a good majority.
Shortly after election the constitution
atty of the act was attacked, and the
Supreme Court held it to be invalid be-
cause the referendum clause was against
the letter and the spirit of the constitu-
ton; that the submission of an act of
the legislature to vote of the people
was delegating legislative power not
contemplated by the constitution. This
decision was generally accepted as final,
consequently the contrary decision of
the Court of Errors was great surprise.
1t settles, not only the jury law, but the
right of statewide referendum.
The people of Burlington county are
not much impressed with the provisions
of the act. Both grand and petit juries
drawn here for years past have been of a
high type and no cause for scandal or
criticism has existed in this county. Our
sheriffs have been careful in the selection
of the juries and frequently have been
complimented by the court upon the
excellent quality of the juries drawn.
About the only point that the average
taxpayer in this county can see in the
act is that it will add another salaried
position to our already long list of officials
and, of course, create another item of
expense. The tendency constantly
seems to be to introduce and pass bills
that will increase the tax rate. Seldom,
If ever, is there any thought of making
any provision for decrease in our public
expenses.

No Grammar for Her.

In Fort Scott school the teachers
gave orders for all pupils to buy a Ger.
tain kind of grammar, and bring the
book to the class the next day. When
school started one little girl walked to
the front Of the room and carefully
laid note on the teachers desk. She
picked 1t up, rather surprised, but she
was more surprised when she read the
following note: 81 do not desire that
Matte shall ingage In grammar, as ]
prefer her to ingage In more useful
studies, and can learn her speak and
write proper myself. l have been
through two grammars, and can't say
they did me no good. l prefer Matte
to ingage In German or DRAWN and

TUESDAY, JANUARY 81, 1914

1T WILL be no step backward to re-
move the kinks from the election law,
which was wonderfully conceived three
years ago, and woefully applied ever
since. Under it's commands voter
must record much of his family history,
give his age, reveal his property posses
sions and otherwise afford gossip for his
club or the corner grocery. Naturally,
he must register in person, for he would
not dare to send an agent to lie for him,
nor, by the same token, to tell the truth.
The method is bald inquisition, and
through it 30 per cent. of the normal
vote is no longer cast. Some indepen-
dent legislator should cut loose and fiay
this legal monstrosity. -Phitddetptfd

A BILL has been introduced by Assem-
blyman Peacock, providing for biennial
sessions of the Legislature. This is a
move in the right direction, but it is
doubtful if the bill will pass, as the up
state members seem to be in favor of
legislating continuously. There is too
much law making; any method of de-
creasing legislation is meritorious eff
fort, and Mr.. Peacock's bill should be
passed. Hundreds of laws and resolu-
tions are passed each year, and it is
difficult for even lawyers to keep up
with the procession and be able to digest
and understand the many acts that have
been passed. The people would welcome
a rest of year between each session OF
the Legislature, particularly if thereby
more careful study would be given to
the acts that are passed, so that the bills
would be made more intelligent and less
conflicting.

Fielder stated that 1--WE must husband
our resources, exercise a more careful
watch over our outlay, and see that each
dollar expended brings its full return to
the state" He also made other reference
to economy.
This lis a good doctrine, but it seems
not to have had much effect. A few
days later, Mr.. Branegan, Democratic
leader in the Assembly, introduced some
bills providing for an increase in the
number of legislative employees and in
creasing the salaries of lot of those al

livestock Increases on National
Forests.

Figures showing the number of live
stock for which the secretary of'agri-
culture has authorized grazing permits
for the ranges on the 100 national for
ests during the year 1914 have just
been made public. Nearly IL million
animals can be grazed. including nearly
2 million head of cattle and horses,
nearly 8 million head OF sheep and
goats, and about 65 thousand hogs.
This means an increase for the current
year OF about 38 thousand more cattle
and horses, and BAT thousand more
sheep and goats, although the gross
area of the national forests at the be-
ginning of 1914 is almost a million
acres less than at the beginning of 1918.
During 1918, according to the reports
just completed, more than 81 thousand
stockmen paid the government for graz
ing permits on the national forests.
For several years past the carrying
capacity of the national forest ranges
has been slowly rising, which, forest
officers say, indicates an improve
ment in general grazing conditions and
better utilization of the forage re.
sources. They claim that this is due
mainly to the enforcement of better
methods of distributing and handling
stock.
On the lands recently acquired by
the federal government within the APP
palachian region of the east, regulated
grazing has been undertaken this year
on six distinct areas. The local stock
owners who had previously used the
land under lease from the former own.
ers have readily accepted the change of
ownership and appear to be favorably
impressed with the methods employed
by the forest service for grazing pur.
poses. While the number of all ami.
mails authorized to Craze upon these
southern Appalachian forests is not
large, it is the belief of the forest
officers in charge of them that under
careful supervision the lands will sup
port more stock than they have in the
past and that there will be considerable
improvement in the individual animals,
with constant increase in meat pro-
duction.
