Quacks.

Quack, quack, quack. The world is
we'll supplied with quacks. There are
quack doctors, quack philosophers,
quack newspapers and quack states
men. To one Of a pessimistic turn Of
mind 1t sometimes seems rs II the pre-
vailing noise in the world is one con-
-tinuous quack, quack, quack.
Considered in broad way advance
ment IN civilization is nothing but the
elimination of quacks. There was a
time when the world WAS ruled by
quacks. Such is not the case now, but
quacks still play an important part
in all the affairs Of life.
The "when-all -all-other-doctors-fail,- d =
comet -to-me' quack is not the one
who makes the loudest noise these
days. The quack statesman = the
friend. .of-the-people" quack-is the
auack who makes the most noise and
does the most damage. 1t is we'll that
public attention is being brought to a
focus on this variety OF quackery.
Public opinion may be aroused to such
a pitch rs to Danish political quacks
from public life. Then another step
forward may be registe red by the
commonwealth.
All quacks have certain traits and
pretentions in common. They are all
of the 'know-it-all," "pachydermatous
type of beauty. They are all self-con-
ceited vain fellows Of shallow accom-
plishments- They all look upon the
public with supreme contempt, and
think that the. people are imbeciles.
They are all loud In proclaimin9
their own greatness and accomplish
ments. Each one believes in blow
ing his own horn. They are all en-
gagedlin the business Of trying to ''put
something over" on the people. The
cardinal purpose of every quack Is to
bunco the public. Let US organize
swat the Quack Club."-Ex.

There are still some people who do
not understand the meaning OF the
word thoroughbred as applied to live
stock and especially to horses. Thor
oughbred is the name of the English
breed Of running horses-only this
and nothing more. The breed derived
its origin from the union Of Arabian,
Barb and Turkish blood with the
tighter type OF the English horse.
From this amalganation came great
stamina, remarkable speed, unusual
endurance and great symmetry of
form. The American standard bred
trotter, which Is the name given our
American breed of trotting horses, de-
rived its origin largely from tn orough-
bred blood imported to this country.
The rules AZ to what constituted a
standard bred trotter were not so
strict rs at the present time. In other
words, the foundation stock Of the
breed, although eligible under the old
rules, would hardly be accepted for
registration under the present rules
of the American Trotting Register
association. The word thoroughbred
cannot be applied to q trotter any
more than bull, buck or = boar
and yet we scarcely ever hear the ap-
pelation employed In any other way.
Out in this western country especial
ly where few thoroughbreds are raised
the term is more generally misapplied
than in the eastern states.-Fielda and
