Halts O'Brien's Criticism.

halted the speaker and warned him
that the departments methods were
known to the Commissioners; that the
presence in official capacity of any en-
ploye of the District was prima facie
evidence of the Commissioners con-
fidence in that employe and that fur
ther criticism of officers of the health
department would not be permitted.
There were several tilts between the
Commissioner and Mr.. OBrien during
the course of the hearing. Once the
president Of the board interrupted the
attorney to protest against what he
termed blanket statements" At an
other time he showed his knowledge
of the milk problem as it applies gen.
orally by referring to the findings of
eminent authorities which disagreed
with points brought out by Mr..
OBrien.
When forced to abandon his attack
on the methods Of the health depart
ment for arriving at bacteriological
ratings of milk. Mr.. O'Brien summed
up his opposition to the proposed pub.
lication of ratings on the ground tina,
publication.
Says Plan Discriminates.
He declared that the plan. IL carried
into effect, would discriminate against
many dealers and in no way benefit the
public.
Preceding Mr.. OBrien. Henry E.
Davis. attorney for the Dairymen's AS
sociation, also entered a protest against
the publication Of ratings. He stated
that it is an open question as TO
count alone has any relation to the
purity Of milk. Besides. he contended.
the information contained In the rat
ings relates to past rather than to
present conditions. He argued g.,a,ae,aas tnas tne
counts of milk from the same source
are great, and that past showfngs m
dicate nothing as to the future.
Corbin Thompson was the only one OF
several milk dealers present VINO took
part in the hearing, which lasted Ior
more than two hours. In declaring that
the publication Of bacteriological rat
| ings would be unfair. Mr. thompson
expressed the belief that health ON

which is trying to monopolize the milk
business.
Accuses Rockefeller Foundation.
Every health officer from Boston to
Richmond" said Mr.. Thompson. 'fs a
link in a chain to carry out the laws
as to the handling and distribution OF
milk, and it is done to centralize the
milk business into the hands OF gi-
gantic corporation which started with
the Rockefeller foundation and that is
nothing else but the Standard OIL Com
pany. They are trying to centralize the
milk business into the hands OF few"
Health Officer Woodward. who fol-
lowed Mr.. Thompson, explained the ad-
vantage that would be derived by the
nubiic from the publication by the
health department Of bacteriological
terms of the work done under the di-
rection of DR.. ]. J. Kinyoun. bacteriolo-
gist of the health department. who. he
declared, is one Of the greatest bac-
teriologists in the world.
Dr Woodward was questioned at
length by the Commissioners as to the
sianificance of bacilli in milk The
Commissioners are expected to render
a decision in the matter late today or
tomorrow.

French War Office Reports.

Two official statements were issued
Yesterday by the French war office. The
one given out in the afternoon said:
Yesterday, relatively quiet day on
the whole front. was characterized
principally by artillery combats. The
Germans, however. again attempted
several attacks to the north. east and
south OF Ypres. They were all repuiseo
with considerable losses to them.
ITO sum up: All the efforts made
by the Germans during the last sew
eral DAYS have resulted only In the
capture of the ruined village of Dix
nude, whose isolated position on the
right bank of the canal rendered It's
defense difficult.
pushing forward OF approach works
has continued along the greater part
of the front.
.Upon the remainder Of the front.
I.orrain and in the Vosges there was
detached artillery firing and minor ac-
tions without importance"
This was followed in the evening by
the following communications:
The most notable incident OF the
day has been the throwing back or the
enemy on the right bank of the User
canal. That part of the left bank which
the Germans previously held has been
completely evacuated.
I'VE have retaken to the south OF
Bixschoote a small wood which had
been lost following q night attack
.At the end of the day the enemy
had shown without success an offensive
to the south of Ypres.

has to operate on fronts totalling near
ly 1000 miles with twenty-five active
army corps. while the allies have at
their disposal twenty-nine army corps
for a line less than half IS long. Thus
from the point of view of available
troops 1t is argued the comparison is
unfayorable to the Germans.
So far as equipment is concerned the
infantry on both sides are equally wen
supplied. At the beginning the Ger
mans were much better off with quick
firers, but the allies have now caught
up by Intensive production in the arms
factories. In the artillery the allies are
said to have advantage as far as light
pieces are concerned, but the German
heavy artillery is incontestibly su-
perior. They are not likely to retain
that superiority long, however. since
both the French and British arsenals
are beginning to deliver big guns and
the allies have plenty of trained men
to serve them, irrespective of the Japa .
nese sunners' whose early arrival at
Marseille is announced by rumor.

"THE WIZARD OF WIsELAND"

A Chicago critic has happily
termed the big, new musical comedy
success, THE Wizard of Wiseland," :"
a fountain Of youth. The incessant
laughter, the pleased faces of old and
young, the intense interest, the eager
expectancy of still more surprises,
and the care-free atmosphere that
prevailed throughout the entire per-
formance, evidently inspire the ex-
preston. If rich vein of comedy
that runs intermittently through the
piece, and wealth of melody and
song that tingles the ear and touches
the heart, can renew youth by lifting
life's burden for two and half
hours, then "The Wizard of Wise
land is assuredly a fountain of
youth. To miss seeing this bright
musical extravaganza, presented by a

Topeka, Kans-The fee proposition

larations OF State Treasurer Akers and
State Auditor Davis to the effect that
they will retain the fees that do not
belong to them morally and the an
nouncement Of the Democrats to the
effect that they will turn over these
fees into the state treasury, has
brought out an open letter from r. Il.
Murphy, chairman OF the Democratic
state committee, to Arthur Capper,
Republican candidate for governor.
The letter, plain and direct, puts the
question of fees up to Capper and
cites the fact that Governor Hodges
promises. If reelected to urge the le-
gislatnre to make new laws governing
the use OF fees.
The letter to Mr., Capper from Mr..
Murphy reads:
I'm view OF the fact that you are
candidate for governor on the same
ticket with Auditor w. E. Davis and
Treasurer Earl Akers, the people OF
Kansas are entitled to know whether
you approve or disapprove the action
OF the above officials in appropriating
nearly $4,000 annually over and above
their salary to their own use.
These officers say they are en-
titled to these fees and will continue
to retain them If reelected. If so,
the other state departments may do
] the same thing and thus double the
states expense.
THE Democratic candidates prom
ise to turn these fees unto the state
treasury.
you are no doubt aware that the
state auditor, Mr.. Davis, and the state
treasurer, Mr.. Akers, are now com
planning over the state criticizing the
appropriations OF the last legislature
and charging the present adminstra-
tion with extravaganza.
Since the expense Of conducting
/ these two departments has increased
$4,000 during the past year and since
these two officers have converted &C.,
900 OF the peoples money to their own
use under technicality of the law
and contrary to specific statement
in the statute the people of Kansas
are anxious to know whether this is
sample Of the business administra-
tion" that may be expected from you
and your associates.
THE Democratic candidates speak
in no uncertain terms on this matter.
Should they be elected, every cent OF
money collected as fees will be re-
turned to the state treasury.
Governor Hodges promises, II
elected, to urge the Legislature to
make this form of graft impossible.
The voters OF Kansas are vitally in
terested in this question and are en-
titled to know your position.

portant question:"

ocratic senate attempted to make
$50, 6S3,0O4. This they we're forced
to reduce to S2O,OOO.OOO, by the
masterful filibuster led by Sen Bur
ton, republican.
Their total appropriations for this
year exceed the appropriations made
by the last republican congress by
nearly 500, 100000. The army APP
preparation is $7.644,456.53 larger
than the last republican appropria-
ton for that purpose, for the navy
the increase is $17,59O,634.S4.
Here are some of the new officers
to be paid: Five new officers for the
banking law 100000 a year and the
comptroller of the treasury's salary
increased $1,000 a year, salaries for
officers of new trade commission
$50, 900, new board of appeals $12,-
600 a year, for commercial attaches
an unknown sum but each has a
clerk at 81, 500 a year and 100000
is appropriated for their expenses.
In all 247 new places have been
created this year in the Treasury
Department in Washington alone, at
an increased cost of $294,080 a year.
During the last three years of re-
publican rule SOC places were aboI-
ished, saving $5O1,48O.
The senate itself since becoming
democratic has increased the number
of permanent clerks and attaches of
committees by thirty-fve and in
creased the pay roll by $49,3S0 per
year.
This is what has been accomplished
under the platform pledge quoted
above. 1t shows how impossible it
is for the democrats to square per-
Torrance with promise. Can the
voters of the country endorse and
encourage such financial methods by
voting outside the republican party?

The Direct Primary.

The following excerpts of editor
ials in states where the primary law
is in force should be read de-
spite the fact the people voted so
strongly for the direct primary last
spring and every political party is
pledged to the enactment Of such a
| law at the next session of the legis-
lature. The Springfield Republican,
paper whose influence is generally
recognized, says
1t is manifest to the wayfaring
man that the primary method of
making nominations will not be pop
pularized by that which took place on
Tuesday. People have come to feel
| that the new method is needlessly
expensive and burdensome, and this
feeling will be increased and not les
sened. The Indifference which has
been begotten has become a handi-
cap upon those results which are de-
sirable-the nomination of the men
best fitted for the service which they
are placed in the way of having to
perfo1 m, regardless of eXtraneous
conditions not affecting the proper
discharge of public duties.
Ills GACSIQl Is IdhGA lIOm Lu0
Covina Argus, of California;
Lastly, the direct primary is an
enormous expense to those who wish
to run for office. 1t is more expen-
sive than a general election, costing
the men who run for state offices
thousands of dollars. 1t makes it
impossible for a poor man, or even
man in moderate circumstances, to
run a campaign. Men of undoubted
ability are thus prevented from get
ting a place on the ballot. 1t is a
rich mans game, or the game of a
man who will sell himself to groups
of people with plenty of money. 1t
costs a lawyer at least $4,000 to run
for the position of superior judge, in
the event that he conducts his cam
paign to win. 1t makes it impossible
to elect any man to partisan or nom
partisan Office without the aid of
huge amount of money. The direct
primary is a humbug. 1t does ex-
actly what it was designed to pre-
vent.
James r. Mann, republican leader
of the house says that for the first
seven months of this year our i'm
ports from foreign countries amount
ed to $122, 100000 more than for
the same period the year previous
while our exports to foreign coun-
tries we're $126, 100000 less. The
balance of trade in our favor for the
same period was 248,OOO,0OO less.
This explains the money troubles of
the present time and the necessity of
trying to force the banks to give up
the surplus they are carrying as a
matter of safety.

Democratic Economy.

The things democrats have most
persistently declared for in state and
national platforms is economy in the
conduct of public business. Their
most persistent charge against the
republicans has been extravaganza.
In 1912 their national platform said:
We denounce the profigate waste
of the money wrung from the people
by oppressive taxation through the
lavish appropriations of the recent
Republican Congresses, which have
kept taxes high and reduced the pur-
chasing power of the peoples toll.
We demand a return to that simple
ity and economy which BELTS dem
Ocratic Government and a reduction
in the number of useless Offices, the
salaries of which drain the substance
of the people.
The speech of Congressman Gill
lette made before congress recently
is a merciless exposure of the failure
of the democrats to keep their pledg
es. The total appropriations already
made by the present democratic con-
gress is $1,OS9, 40S,777.26. In ad-
dition to this will be the river and
harbor appropriation which the dem

Four Years Ago.
Editor of the Caledonfan:
Perhaps at this time may be par
doned for saying few words regard
ing the Convention of 1910 of which
/ had the honor of being the presid-
ing officer. If you remember at that
time the contention was on the can
didate for sheriff. The delegates
from Ryegate were contested and by
some misunderstanding the matter
was not settled by the county COM
mittee AS to the matter of the le-
gality of the election of the Ryegate
delegates, 1 know nothing and had
no part in any of the proceedings.
After my election as chairman and
the election of the secretary, l called
for the secretary of the county com
mittee to read the roll of the con-
vention This was done, leaving off
the Ryegate delegates and it was
moved that the roll as read be made
the permanent roll of the convention.
This was seconded. That made the
only thing before the convention the
adoption of the roll as read. Mr..
Bunker of Peacham and Mr.. Brain
ard of Danyille, l think it was, want
ed to hear from the Ryegate dele
gates. TuI6Q LUdI Tie only matter
before the convention was the adop-
ton of the roll as read. If either of
the above named gentlemen had NOV
ed an amendment to the roll by seat
ing the Ryegate delegates, this would
have opened up the whole subject
and been the first thing to have been
acted upon by the convention This
was not done. Both Of the above
gentlemen are older than l and have
been in politics much longer and
should have known the proper man
ner to have brought the matter be-
fore the convention. If l had ruled
the other way l would have been
justly criticised by the other side, l

time and still think that l was right.

no apology to make, and should make
