Campaign Bogies.
Washington HeraldC

Senator Ollie James is not far wrong in declaring that Senator Pen rose and Uncle Joe Cannon are the principal heroes of the republican victory, in that their vindication was complete. The senator, therefore, nominates Penrose and Cannon as the candidates of the republican party for president and vice president, on the theory that once a bogic is set up 1t will always continue to Tighten the people. IA little study of political bogies would have warned the fbig kentuckian against this assum pt1on. Both Speaker Reed and William Mo kinley were political bogies in 1890 and 1892, and were quite as frightful in the eyes of the voters as ever have been Penrose and Cannon. But they came back after four years of demo- cratic rule, in the house of represent tatives, and the enactment of the Will Son-Gorman tariff Jaw. The whole country hailed Reed as the represen- tative of sanity and courage when he returned to the speakers chair in 1895, and good many democrats joined with the republicans in recog- nizing Mckinley as the advance agent Of prosperity and electing him presi dent in 1896.
 The senator might also look at his own partys history and find that after the defeat of Grover Cleveland, In 1888, his old clothes were hung up in the cornfield to frignten away the crows, but four years later he again captured the democratic nomination over the protest of Kentucky. and was, again elected The senator is too fer tile in political ideas to trot out old bogies in politics after the voters have shown that they cannot be frightened by them.
 The republicans will. no doubt make their nominations for 1916 in the old way and not call upon Senator James for advice. But it might be quite as dangerous to the democrats to test the longevity of old bogies in 1916 as it was In 1896.

saloon Not Indorscd.
Sacramento (Cal.) Union )


 Some of those who during the cam paign were most energetic In their support of the wet side of the prohibi- ton controversy seem to think that the vote against prohibition was an indorscment of the saloon. 1t Is more than likely that the result of the elec- tion is an indorsemcnt of the Cali fornia grape. Throughout the cam paign, ninety per cent of the argu-
 ments in favor of the wet side of the question were tied to the grape vine. There was a feeling on theS part of
 many people who oppose saloons that
 il was unfair to the grape A.grower. cd to develop the wine industry, to
 destroy his business with little or no |lwarning.
 It should be recalled that the dras-
 tic prohibition plan of the southern
 California contingent ~-was " strongly
 opposed by the anti-saloon leagues Of northern California. The members from San Francisco pleaded the cause of the grape grower and in the course of a heated debate one of the mems bers of the San Francisco anti-Saldbn league denounced the amendment as crimipfl in it's harshness,, The sdlohn man can thank hiAJluclS stars that the amend ycnt was drastic, If the question. ht issue had been only the saloonf there might 'pave been diff ferent story to tell. rsas 1as

 &Fyounspaper of Nov. Is you had
 Yiews item "MiX-up Among Under stakers," of which your reporter must f9have been misnformed as to the facts. We wish to have this correct ed. We did not receive an anohy- nous telephone call. We received a telephone call from the young mans father one hour before pr. Wright notified E. C. Porter Sons. On the way to the house we met Dr. Wright and .he told us he was going to turn the remains over to B. C. Porter Sons. As we, had been notified by the fami- ly we proceeded and arriving on the scene, Mir. LadiniG Gather of the young many, told us to take charge of the funeral. and notify pr. Wright or medical examiner, to that effect, for him not to bring another under 'taker as he thought one was sutfl- cfent. We notified Dr. Wright of this, but he refused to do it. As to Officer Wagner being despatched to the scene was. absolutely unnecessary as, we know very well we can- not touch a body of this kind with out the medical examiners consent, and wish to say that we did nat move or intend to remove the body as we co1ld not get, permission from the m@8dcal examiner. This is not the first time that a thing Of this kind has occurreds in New Britain. It has occurred quite frequently of late where the medical examiner had turned a body over to a certain un- dartaker. that other undertakers have l1kd to go and get the body and take it away, from a friendly competitor which is mbarrassing. It had nev- CT been called to the public notice before, and We would have said noth- ing if it had not been. called to the public notice now.a"
 W6 look. forward to tlAe day when New Britain like many other cities will have a public morgue where cases of this kind can be brought and examined. so the family may have the undertaken they wish without any outside influence, and thereby avoid any miX-up.

Nor is Newman of higher type than some of the medieval saints, whose lives he studied. The province where the human race must make progress is not the individual, but the social or der. Justice and equity in the state, embodied in law and custom and en- frightened public opinion, are now the goal of humanity, and it is worth striving for and will remain so for many years.

 1t has been pointed out that a scientific basis for "eugenics is en- tirely lacking until it is settled by statistics that the children of se- 1ected mating are in some way supe- rior to the progeny of unions based on mutual attract It would be very difficult to establish such a statistical base. We know that the Bourbons starting from magnifi- cent specimen of a man. dropped to insignificance after a series of state marriages No royal house In Eu- rope has improved from generation to generation. The giant Romanoffs have degenerated, at least physical ly. But it does not follow that all the unions in these cases have been Ioveless So we are as much in the dark as before and eugenics still lacks a scientific base.

Knoclxer Who Hired a Hall.
est. Louis Post t-Dispatch.)

The other night prominent New Orleans citizen .who desired to chasten the old town that he kved but didn't altogether admire hired a hall in which to relieve himself of some long accumulated criticisms.
 Said he: When a man has a grouch he should not worry his friends with it, but hire a hall and advertise. Those who don't want to hear him can stay away. l never. grumble to n man who has to listen to me. I pay for the privilege sof grumbling to people who like to hear. it.'
 Thus everybody has good time and the freedom of speech is given some good healthful and invigorat- ing eXcerise. Maybe 1t is good for the town, too, to get first class "bawling out as the New Orleans prom. G1t affirmed. But in any event 1t can't hurt the town. If "bawling out could hurt or destroy a town the whole area of this country would re- semble the region of the Dead sea and ancient |aerieho, The most cri- ticised, censNxeds sxNpd condemned town in the UftuSG 2S$Rtes is Chica- go-and look akAh@Sblamed thing!

Foot and Mouth Disease.

GU. $. Department of Agriculture.)
 The outbreak of foot and mouth disease has already affected an area so large that it is evident that most active measures are necessary to eradicate it. Cases have oeen found as far apart as Iowa and Massacnu setts. Both in virulence and in eN- tent of area affected the pY esent out break is more serious than any of the five nceVious ones which have oc- cured inTthe United States.
 These. previous outbreaks have not been sufficiently serious either to familiarize farmers with the symp
 toms of the disease or to render them fully alive to the losses that it occa- siuns when permitted to gain firm foothold. One of it's most dangerous chara cteristics is its extreme con- righteousness. Not only may it be con- yeyed directly from. one animal to Another, but it may be transported in fodder, picked up from the ground and carried over the country by cats, dogs and chickens, or. communicated through the agency of man. Cases have already. been found in which 1t seems certain that the disease was spread by the curiosity of farmers to inspect suffering animals. They re- turned from these visitS to communf- cate the disease to their voYn previ- ously healthyt'herds. '...
 The contagiousness Of the disease explains the action of the federal au- thorities in auarantining such large areas. The practice is to clap Mankete~oC quarantine on the state in which a caseJof the disease has been hN ton. determine the exact area in- fected. When an animal suffering from foot and mouth disease is dis covered in a herd the whole herd is slaughtered Otherwise it. would remain a dangerous source of infec- tion and be a menace to the entire community. It is customary to; ap- point an appraiser to value the herd. One-half of the appraised value is paid rto .the owner by the federal government and one-half by the state. The slaughtered animals are buried in deep trench. their hides slashed to make it useless TOT anyone to dig them up again, and the car casses are saturated with quicklime. Tn this manner previous outbreaks have been completely stamped out and there Is every reason to hope that thlS WMf pe lne case lnlS year.

The EAmayagsncc of opera.
Washington Post. )


 Boston, sometimes called the intel lect,lals center. of the United States, has followed the lead of Philadelphia and Chicago in the abandonment of grand opera for the coming season. In Philadelphia F.. T. Stotesbury,,9 the chief financial packer of the opera, explained the abandonment on the ground that money previously con- tributed for tic maintenance of musi- ca | standards in the United States Is not how available on account of the T,uropeah war.
 Those who seek the cause of the de- cline of grand opera In the United States will have to go further than the European war. There can be no com plaint with reference to attendance or Nhe size of subscriptions. In all the cities favored with season oftgrand opera, the subscribers have been ex- trcmely liberal.
 The trouble has been that the per sons Who participate the opera have loved money more than the opera Like some of our baseball stars. they have riddon5 the financial end of, their art little too hard. No matter how wonderful the voice of a singer may be. it Is extremely doubtful whether one evenings work is sworthe $3, 900. Yet that is the amount demanded by some Of the performers. while others require, from $500 to $2,o0o for sing

The Right Man, But Fifty -one.
 (New York GlObe,O

The municipal employment agency, stablished by the city to assist the unemployed to find work, when 1t opens will not be in charge of the man who had been selected as super iEtendent Walter l.. Sears, for eight years head of the Massa chusetts state employment agency, was picked as the most usefuI head of the agency, and the work of organizing it was carried or under his direction. It was dis covered only on Saturday, however, that he is ineligible, as he Is one year older than the age limit, which is fifty years.
 It is unfortunate that the city should have to lose the services of MT. Sears merely because he happens to be fifty one years old instead of two score and ten. Doubtless there are many men within the age limit who can accept ably fill the position, but of all those under discussion by the city authori- tles MT. Sears was the first choice. But the civil-service rules interfere, and if way is not found to surmount the obstacle it will not be the first time they have been a hindrance to efficient ard economical public. administration.
 This does not mean for a moment that civil service rules should be abolished, but only that some of their Slaring defects should be- remedied. It is proper to set age limits, but in doing so we ought not to be blinded by that popular falacy that man in the neighborhood of fifty and in the prime of life has served his usefulness. Great Britain today, for instance, is in luck that foolish civil service rule does not deprive her of the services of Kitchener, who can boast of sixty-four years.

 For a man to recommend that he be lleeislate9, out of "a job with a s12ooo a year salary attached to it is sotne- thing hitherto unknown in municipal politics and the one who does it must be a man who has a very high concep. ton of public service when he makes such a recommendation.
