HOME VIEW OF SALINGER.

Carroll Herald There is some
thing inspiring in the rise of poor
immigrant boy from obsecurity and
direst poverty TO the supreme court
of his state. This poor German boy
mere child before the Chicago fire,
sold shoe strings on the streets Of
that city to help support his parents.
and keep hunger from their door Is
it to be wondered that his mother
in her 70's reioices at the success
of her boy, always so dutiful? He
was never the benficiary of wealth or
influence; he has made his own way,
from rags and poverty to the position
voted to him by the people of Iowa
last week. He has had to fight for
every step in advance. He is born
fighter, and never runs from an op-
ponent. We believe it is fair to say
that much of the opposition that he
has found in Iowa politics was due
to his readiness for encounter. lie
might often have compromised and
avoided strife, hut his nature is to
fight it out along the lines of his own
choosing. His well known fidelity to
friends, and his uncompromising atti-
tude toward what he placed himself
in opposition to made him thousands
and thousands of opponents: and
still that was why so many friends
took off their coats" for him on the
3rd inst. For, after all, his election
was personal victory, won under his
inspiration, by personal friends.
B. l. Salinger has unsurpassed
ability. He has an. ambition to make
a record on the supreme bench, AMI,
knowing him as all his neighbors.
willingly to do him justice do, we
predict for him a brilliant and USE
full career in the exalted position 10
which the people of Iowa have raised
him.

THE ELECTION ROOSTER.

The WaukoE Republican was the
only one of our exchanges to trot
out rooster to proclaim it's joy over
election says the Hopkinton Leader.
The poultry on the front page after
election has been discarded as among
the obsolete for a good many years.
but this one looked good just the
same, If for no other reason than
that it revived memories of other
days. No well equipped office in
early days was lacking in rack fall
of proper and expressive emblems
for use around election time. On the
morning after the great day the atti-
tude of the hanticler-whether he
was proudly announcing the result
in clarion tones or groveling toward
the earth in disheveled plumage-
told the story mere eloquently than
the scareheads of these modern
times. The old Des Moines Register,
under the Clarksons, had the biggesr
batch of election roosters of any
paper in the state. Sometimes we
look longingly for some of them TO
appear again after such a scrap as
We have just passed through, but ap-
parently the whole lot has been sent
to the melting pot. Once, in the long
ago, on the occasion Of a democra-
tic landslide, it was freely predicted
that for once the old Register would
appear without its customary dis
play of election poultry. But on Il
Wednesday morning there was the
Register, as brave as ever, with
whole row of growing roosters, one
at the top of each column, proclaim
ing the salvage from the wreck. DAD
Clarkson had found a justice of the
peace and few minor offices saved
to the republican column, and those
roosters helped to take the sting our
of the sad story Of republican defeat
that the cold types told. Those wern
of the days of militant politics. One
was absolutely compelled to be ell
thusiastic one way or another, AM
General Apathy had mighty little 30
do. Then we used to talk of politics
and patriotism. now we talk of it rs
having degenerated to game

The Governors Victory

The best thing about the campaign
has been Governor Clarke's. pluck
says the Des Moines Tribune.
The governor has shown what car
be done by standing by ones guns
and fighting it cut on this line if il
takes all summer.
If he had fiinched, as so many OF
his political friends and advisors
wanted him to do, he would never
have known he was running.
The governor was all but beaten
two years ago because many believed
he was not made of fighting stuff.
Today he is elected by a substan-
tial majority, with all the prejudice
against him that could be got out of
"a new road law, new railroad asses
sessment, a new valuation of farm
property, and big capitol grounds
simply because he has gone to the
state and made fight. 1t has been
a hard summer for the governor. 1t
is not cheerful job to spend nine
months facing hostile or at leas:
iukewarm and questioning audiences
of ones neighbors and party assocl-
ates.
But the governor has lived thru it
and he has won a victory that oughy
to count for courage in public Office
for many years in Iowa.
1t will be a long time before it will
be forgotten how George w. Clarke
won the fight Of 1914.

WARNING TO IOWA FARMERS.
State College Expert Would Prevent
Spread of Stock Disease.

Ames, Ia, Nov. 16.-"Keep stra-
gers away from your cattle and
swine; the organism which cause:
foot and mouth disease is highly cor
tagious and cannot be too carefully
guarded against"
| This is the warning which DR. C.
| H. STANCE, dean of the division o!
veterinary medicine of Iowa StatF
college, sends to all the farmers OF
the state in an effort to prevent the
spread of the malady which caused
The Chicago stock market to be quar-
antined recently.
while the government has quar-.
antined all shipments of cattle, hay
and anything else considered liable
to carry infection, either into or ont
of the state and while this has been
carried on further by the state with
reference to the counties, there Is
still danger to be encountered. This
is in the spread of the disease by
strangers.
"Unwittingly man may carry dis
lease laden germs upon his clothes
and these can be readily communi-
Gated to any stock with which he
may come into contact. For this rea-
|son, cannot urge farmers to be too
careful"
The disease may be readily dag
nosed, according to DR.. STANCE. In
its early stages it causes a general
depression and loss of appetite in
the animal which is later succeeded
by blisters, ranging in size from 4
ten cent piece to silver dollar, upon
the upper surface of the mouth
These blisters gradually appear on
other parts of the body, finally be-
coming localized in the hoof and
mouth
State officials have already quar-
antined Iowa, Johnson and Jones
counties, following outbreaks of the
disease in those localities and is also
aiding the government in preventing
shipment of cattle and feeds to and
from the state. Dean STANCE has al
so ordered all plants manufacturing
hog cholera serum to be disinfected
nd hah ha -
assist DR.. J. l. Gibson, state veterin-
arian, IN the infected districts.
Despite the fact that Germany has
spent millions of dollars in attempts
to procure an antiItoXin for the dis
ease, all efforts of her scientists 20
date have been unavailing. The fact
that the organism causing this dis
ease is, like hog cholera, filterable
virus which cannot be seen through
the microscope has baffled all efforts
to isolate and study it.
About the only thing to be done
is to work for its prevention said
DR.. STANCE. The farmer should have
his barn and feedlots well disinfect-
ed and see that his stock is kept
clean and free from any filth. When
the disease once attacks the animal.
there is no cure; the body must be
depended upon to wear out the ma
lady and effect its own cure, which it
can, generally do i'm three weeks
time"
Asked as to whether he believed
that the government would be able
to handle the present outbreak, Dean
STANCE expressed himslf as of the
belief that experience gained in five
former epidemiCs would enable the
federal authorities eventually to
check it. He was also of the opinion
that the present trouble would not
last long enough to cause any great
scarcity of meat on the market.
