Thaw, acquitted today Of con spiracy
in escaping from Mhtteawan. faced
tonight a renewal OF the determined
effort Of New York state to send him

Almost endless litigation seemed to

hardly died on Foreman Bailey's lips
when Deputy Attorney General Cook
was on his. feet with motion to
have Thaw recommitted to Natteawan
This was opposed by John b Stanch-

grounds that the court already had
under advisement a motion to return
srhaw to New Hampshire whence he
came to answer the conspiracy
charge. The motion was renewed and

acquitted Thaw and were discharged

while satisfied with the verdict inso-

Inasmuch as the United States and

bassador reserved his own opinion
on the action of the commander, say
ing he had no instructions from HIS

Captain Thierichens. of the Prinz

Getting Cold Feet

The editorial expressions of the New
Orleans papers, in connection with the per-
sonnel Of the delegates to the constitutional
convention, indicate that the papers of that
city are not so sure now that the convention
will be made up of big men-good and true
patriots free from political environment.
It is pointed out that a number of poll
ticians may be elected to the convention and
that such delegates may pay more attention
to political issues than to the interests Of
the people. To make up such convention
without politicians would be like making a
cake without dough. We think, however,
that the convention will be improved with
the election of good sprinkling of politi-
clans. We have heard great deal of talk
about electing "good business men" to
public office, but review of these business
men's" administrations is not at all reas-
suring. The man who makes politics a
business has the incentive to keep his record
straight in order that he may maintain his
prestige. Thus he is as apt to stand for the
rights of the people as is the business man.
Another thing, the intellectual giant is not
ALWAYS the best man for position of this
character. Louisiana has had experience in
this line. Let us hope that as this is con-
vention demanded by the people" that
the "people will see to the election of
members who will carry out their wishes,
whatever these wishes may be. We have
an abiding faith in the people" and
we know that in this dilemma some
Moses will rise up to pilot them out of the
wilderness. The New Orleans press was
instrumental in pulling off this fight, and
we trust that we are mistaken in the belief
that we see signs of cold feet. We must
make the best of bad undertaking.
The Madison journal., 1915-06-26

ease is communicated in some way, not yet
discovered. In fact but little is known
about the disease or it's cause.
It is extremely dangerous to give out
the idea that the disease is not contagious,
particularly when physicians acknowledge
that they know nothing about the disease.
We know, however, that the disease is
very apt to re-appear in localities where
there has been an original infection, and
this should be convincing as to the fact that
it is in some manner communicated from
one person to another.
The spread of the disease makes it nec-
cessary for the state to provide some in
stitution where the victims can be treated
and where the danger of further spread can
be warded off by the isolation of those ac'
|tually suffering with the disease.
If the disease is the result of poor food,
as is claimed by some, and is durable by: q
simple change to wholesome food, then il
would appear that the state should take ir
hand the education of both victims anG
physicians as to the proper treatment o1
patients, and thus eradicate at once what
threatens to be horrible scourge.
