EDITORIAL OPINION

mors could be transplanted IN mice
This discovery revolutionized the study
of cancer. Great expectations were
aroused and it was believed it was only
a question of time until the problem
of the cause and cure Of malignant
disease would be solved. That was
decade ago and some authorities be-
lieve that we are no nearer the facts
today than we were then. In the case
of cancer, any expedition of a single
discovery solving the problem IS more
and more coming TO be recognized as
unwarranted. Cancer is not a single
definite disease like appendicitis. 1t Is
rather a name which has been given
to a group of entirely distinct diseases,
which are different in their history,
origin, mode Of treatment and prospect
of cure. although they are all forms Of
new and lawless cell growth. For this
reason. we are not likely TO see any
sudden and sensational advance to-
ward the knowledge of single cause
and cure of cancer II seems now more
likely that a steady reduction IN the
mortality from cancer will come about
through the operation OF many differ
ent factors. OF chief Importance Will

NIP. RRyAN'S RESIGNATION.

From the New YORK sun.
In almost any other circumstances
the country would have reioiced to
hear that Mr.. Bryan had given up
a Mace for which his fantastic unit
ness has long been but too apparent.
He has chosen to make his leaving
as unpleasant as his staying. lie
deserts the President at a moment OF
grave international complication. He
deliberately does all that lies in his
power to create a prejudice against
the note to be sent to Germany to-
day. a note whose contents are still
unknown to the public. His remark
ably tender sense of duty makes him
forget that he owes duty to the
! United States.
Instead, and here is the injury that
he can do by creating semhlance
of divided counsels in the Cabinet.
, where he stands alone. he gives aid
and comfort to the opponents in Ger
many and here of the firm assertion
of the rights of Americans upon the
seas. Germany, not knowing him as
! his countrymen do, may be encour-
aged in the illusion that a majority
( of Americans will not hold up the
! hands of Woodrow Wilson to every
/ issue
Germany could make no greater
error.
What political designs are behind
Mr. Bryan's conduct or want OF con-
! duct may be guessed. He may become
the head of the passionate aliens
/ among the German Americans
whose country is across the water.
To him may flock the labor" lords,
the radicals of many names. the
preachers, honest or dishonest, mostly
the latter, against the sale of NUM-
tions of war to the belligerents The
tents of Chautauqua are already flap

Grant rhetoric and Cave of ,Adullam
politics invites him.
Though Mr.. Bryan's resignation
strengthens the Cabinet, it will be
long before Americans forgive the

honor and patriotism should have

TOWNS ASK STATE
FOR Bis ROAD AID
COMMISSION REPORTS TAXES
AMOUNTING TO s75s,ooo HAVE
BEEN VOTED.
WOULD SPEND S1,O7O, 900
The Amount Which Is to Be Received
Depends on Appropriation by
Legislature at the Pres
ent Session.

Madison.-The Wisconsin highway
commission has received practically
complete returns from the town meet
ings which give the amounts voted by
the towns for state aid road construc
ton in 1916.
Returns were received from 942
towns out of the 1910 under the town
system. These towns reported votes
of $4,000 this spring, as opposed to
S447,500 at the spring meetings last
year, an increase of 68 per cent
Estimating conservatively action in
the remaining towns, based on last
years action, and probably votes at
special meetings, indications are the
towns alone will ask for at least $685..
500 in state aid for 1916.
Action by cities and villages in &C
cordance with law is taken later. Last
year the cities applied for 100000 in
state aid and the villages for $4,000
Estimating conservatively that cities
will apply for $S1,5OO and villages for
$4,000 for 1915, gives a total appli-
cation for state aid by towns, villages
and cities of s1,07O,0O0.
If the state aid appropriation is re
duced to 100000, as has been pro-
posed, the counties would probably
apply for only $685. giving a total
application for state aid of $1,237, 500.
The applications for state aid for
1912 totaled s451,317; for 1913, $780,
900; for 1914, $1,55S,S4 and for 1915,
81, 100000.

the Wisconsin state reformatory ac-
count for the crowded condition of the

Recently sheriffs arrived In the city
with several prisoners who had been
committed to the state reformatory.
Bowron was forced to turn them away
with the statement that the institution
was too crowded to take care of add

The state reformatory is used for
the most part in taking care of what
is known as first offenders and those
under Il years of age. During the last
few weeks many boys have been
brought here from all sections of the
state and the vacant cells have been
rapidly filed
Three years ago, under the direction
of Supt. Bowron, new cell house with
capacity of $50 cells was completed,

Bass Fishino.

A trout fly rod five to eight ounces
in weight will answer for bass fish
ing, although for minnow casting 1t
should be eight to nine and one-half
feet long and seven to eight ounces
in weight. For casting with the frog
in weedy waters it is, better to use a
short, stiff rod five to six feet long.
The line should be of enameled silk,
braided, either level or taped. Lead
ers should not exceed six feet, and
four is better. For casting or trolling
with minnow or spoon no leader is
used. In the North the best hooks
are Nos. 1 and 2; in Florida, where
is the best southern bass fishing, good
results are obtained with Nos. 10 and
20 and Nos. and 6 for artificial flies.
Reels should be the best obtainable, a
light, single-action click for fly or short
casts in still-hshing and multiplying
reel for minncw casting. If artificial
bait is used try any good spoon or
spinner with a single hook.-Outing.

To Prevent Flies.

If, as a certain French scientist
claims, flies dislike the color blue, it
might pay to paint the kitchen walls
a vivid cerulean as an experiment. 1t
has been said that flies do not rise
above the second floor, but by actual
observation a fly has been seen to rise
nearly fifty feet and tie writer has
been bothered with them on the eighth
floor of an office building where they
were almost too numerous to have
made their way up in the elevator.
Housewives should burn all refuse as
soon as possible, or at least keep the
lid tightly over the garbage can.
1t does not keep out flies to leave
one window unscreened even If all the
rest are protected and all screens
should be put up before the first May
hot spell. The only way to keep flies
out is to prevent their getting in in
the first place, as killing the intruders
does not destroy the microscopic eggs
secreted about the house.
