ELECTION ANALYZED.

party in the recent election, The
Democrats are flattering themselves
upon retaining control of both bodies
Of Congress and the Republicans
esteem themselves fortunate that
they did not get majority in the
House while the Senate and Execu'

FRIEDMAN CURE

The seal of official dsapproval has
been placed upon the tuberculosis
cure brought to this country in
1918 by Dr. Friedrich F. Friedman
of Berlin. The announcement was
made recently by the United States
Public Health Service, in making pub
lie al abstract of the report of its
Investigations in hospitals and labor
atories where tests of the Friedman
cultures were made. It declares that
conclusions of the American physi-
clans are in line with previous re-
ports, both in this country and
abroad. which have refuted DR.. Fried
mann's claim to the discovery OF a
specific for tuberculosis.
One-fourth Of all the cases treated
under the observation of American
physicians developed running sores
at the point of injection of the cure
iDr. friedman admitted this to be
ulfavorable to effecting cure, but
declared his method of injection had
overcome that obstacle. The report
further states that the bacteria germs
used for Injection by DR.. Friedman
SHOW that the germ is different from
varieties Of tuberculosis bacii'i COM
monty known at the present time,
and that their injection into smaller
animals rendered the subject more
susceptible to tubercular infection.

!; !. DE Wolf Hopper, the elongated
master Of heroic burlesque, will be
seen here Saturday night at the Audi
forum in "The Mikado," the spectac-
ular opera which has perhaps more
than any other, led to the revival Of
popular interest and appreciation of
the operas of Gilbert and Sullivan.
This was the decision'-made by the
theater-goers themselves, through the
ribune, The last vote was received
last night, and the result ascertained.
,"The Mikado' had a big lead over
"The Pirates of Penzanse", the dou-
bile bill of Trial by jury and ''Pina-
fore,' receiving only a few votes.
The Tribune received 522 votes.
1.-The Mikado was the choice Of 800,
"Pirates of Penzanse" was the selec-
ton made by 176, and the double bill
was chosen by 26.
In "1'he Mikado,' MI! Hopper, as
all theatergOers are aware, is vocifer-
Gus, intense, comical and very happy
when playing Ko-Ko., AS Nat Good
win said of the part in 'Turned Up"
that he should rather play Carraway
Bones than eat his dinner, so it may
be said Of De Wolf Hopper that he
would rather have you see him play
Ko-Ko than have you call upon him
for a curtain speech. Thus happy in
a just confidence of his powers in the
field of groteque Characterization, Mr.
Hopper finds it not difficult to impart
happiness. His Ko-Ko is indeed a
very rich, weird and spacious per
ormance. AS the lord high execution

A HINT FROM MISSOURI.

A HINT FROM MISSOURI.
This, from the Brooklyn Eagle, is Of
more than passing interest to NORTH
Dakota:
'"Following the example of Other
commonwealth, two years ago Mis-
souri's legislature added full-creW
law to it's list of statutes. Ostelsibly
the purpose was to contribute to the
factors Of safety; really it was to dc
nothing of the kind. 1t was sufficient
| for the legislators to know that the
law would increase railroad expendi
lures to the extent of about half a
million dollars a year and that its
passage was demanded by the labor
organizations of the state.
From the railroads came one un-
answerable objection. They insisted
that the employment of an extra
brakeman would diminish the risk of
travel not in the least. And they
urged that the addition might even
have the opposite result-that one
brakeman might divert the attention
of the other. Their contention that
risk would not be reduced has been
shown to be founded on fact. Actual
experience has demonstrated that one
brakeman does as well as, if not bet
ter than, two.
"In one respect, the carrying cor
porations of Missouri have those of
this state at a disadvantage. They
may avail themselves of the oppor-
tunities furnished by the referendum
law. This was done The full crew
enactment was submitted to the vot-
ers for ratification or rejection, the
result being that it was killed by an
overwhelming majority. 1t is long
since the railroads have been treated
to more agreeable surprise.
'If they looked forward to a relief
from what is neither more nor less
than oppression, they certainly did
not eXpect it to be in such unuues-
tionable shape In Missouri, labor
combinations may do almost anything
but by statute the railroads are pro-
hibited from influencing elections.
They are expressly forbidden to use
any power or effort or any means
whatsoever for any such purpose
None the less, they addressed them.
selves to the people
missouri politicians will not know
what to make of it. For years they
have been marrying and batting and
harassing and hitting every railroad
head that came within striking dis
lance. This, of course, on the as
sumption that the pastime, so called,
was popular to say nothing of the
expediency of propitiating the labor
organizations. They know better
now. Like the railroads, they have
been treated to a surprise. Perhaps
it would be nearer to the truth to say
g shock has been administered.
"The matter is not one in which
this state can enjoy any advantages
of comparison A full-crew law is in
operation here; also in New Jersey.
Both commonwealth penalized the
railroads for the reasons which &C.
tuated the Missouri legislature, which
is to say they crooked the pregnant
hinges of the knee. What remains to
be seen is whether the lawmakers Of
the two states will take a hit. A
change has come over the spirit of
some dreams. A sense of justice
seems to be asserting ITSELF"
