A Man. Eating Shark.

The tragedy at Spring Lake. \. j..
disproves the idea, advanced by some
scientists, that man eating sharks do not
frequent the waters of the northern
Atlantic. In this case a swimmer was
attacked by great fish and both legs
were bitten off, so that he died soon
after being brought to shore. The pres
ence of these monsters in the bathing
waters of the Jersey shore is calculated
to induce more caution among the fire.

There is no safeguard against such visi-
tations, save to keep well inshore. The
victim at Spring Lake was swimming
beyond the life lines when attacked. The
shark would probably not have approach
cd closer to the shore. Almost all beach
fatalities are due to venturing into deep
waters.

Pass the Fake Auction Bill!

The long delay in getting action on
the bill pending in Congress for the

Now an opportunity is at hand to get
a law that will enable the District Com

are questionable. In all likelihood the
Commissioners will have no difficulty in
the enforcement of the proposed law. 1t
is probable that as soon as this pending

The Plague of Paralysis.

The infantile paralysis epidemic start
ing in Brooklyn has spread to other
cities and states, and the situation is
now of national seriousness. Already
the public health service has been en-
listed in the fight against this plague
in New York, but its operations are
likely to extend to prevent the further
development of the disease throughout
the north. There is reason to believe
that the cases that have lately devel-
oped outside of New York have been
carried thither in the exodus of chill
dren from the stricken city. So little
is known about the disease that it is
difficult to trace the spread along these
lines. 1t is feared that in the first rush
to carry children out of the plague zone
in New York some were taken who at
the time were actually suffering in the
first stages and from these would easily
spread the infection in previously I'M
touched communities. Already sum-
monses have been issued in New York
for the parents of child spirited out
of the city while afflicted with the dis
ease.
In the first stages of the epidemic in
New York official advice was given to
parents to keep their children. within
doors. This, however, has been gravely
questioned, as a great majority of the
cases are in the congested districts, and
confinement within houses is calculated
to develop other ills than infantile
paralysis. 1t has been proposed to send
children from the affected districts into
the country and care for them in camps,
where they can get the benefit Of the
fresh air and will be under observation.
A wholesale movement Of this kind
would. of esyrse, cost great sum of
money, bot 4 would doubtless put an

Democrats and Bull Moosers.

Matthew Hale, acting chairman of the
bull moose national committee. criticises
the action of the committee in indoors
ing the republican candidate for Prcsi-
dent. He declares it was irregular. and
an affront to all bull moosers.
1t is mentioned in the story convey
ing this intelligence that Mr.. Hale has
recently been in conference with Chair
man Mccormick of the democratic ma
tional committee.
Mr.. Mccormick will do whatever is
possible toward drawing disconnected
bull moosers to the support of Mr.. Will
son. That is part of his business. If
he can persuade them that they were
trif1ed with by their leaders at their
national convention he WILL of course.
do so.
The bull moose convention as con
ceived and arranged for was somewhat
in the nature of a hold up. Undoubted-
ly, some of the most prominent of the
movers had in mind the prompt nomi-
nation of Mr.. Roosevelt for President
with formal notice to the republicans
to reject him at their peril
1t was a bold program-far too bold
to suit the situation When the dele
gates assembled the more sagacious
quickly discovered that the republicans
could neither be terrorized nor STAN
peded; that Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination
by the republicans was impossible. and
that the most they could hope for was a
nomination rejecting a spirit Of con-
servatism and Cancellation
Accordingly, the bull moose leaders
the most experienced politicians pres
ent-counseled and secured delay. They
held their followers in check until the
republicans had acted, and then upon
consideration decided that the repub-
licans had chosen the strongest man
from among their own number.
The nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt by
the bull moosers was made in a pet,
and with the strongest suspicion that he
would decline. He had made his hos
tility to Mr.. Wilson so plain and en-
phatic, it was inconceivable that he
would consent under any circumstances
to play the part of an assistant to him
in the campaign. And that he could see
would be his role if he ran again as the
leader of third party So, as prac-
teal politician, he made his choice, and
announced for Hughes.
Mr. Hale and those who hold with him
will either be straightout democrats for
the campaign and vote for Mr.. Wilson,
or assistant democrats and organize bull
moose opposition to the republicans
wherever and in whatever way will in
directly benefit the democratic campaign.
And Chairman McCormick's advice will
at all times be at their service.

Maine.

What about Maine, A full state
ticket and a full congressional ticket
will be voted for in September. Both
parties are preparing for an energetic
contest Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Hughes
may be among the stumpers
In 1880 the September result in the
Pine Tree state had an unexpected eff
feet on the fortunes of the yictors. The
republicans lost the governor. But the
successful candidate was tinctured with
greenbackism, then a national issue,
and the business world everywhere sat
up and took notice.
The republican managers throughout
the country made the most of the I'M
easiness thus created. They appealed
TO voters TO resist "the rising tide of
cheap moncy"-to fall in behind the
Garfield and Arthur ticket, elect a re-
publican Congress and protect the ma.
tional credit
AT that time Indiana held her state
election in October. and il so happened
that the democratic candidate for gov
ernor that year was prominent green
hacker. Between the Maine election
and the day for the Indiana election

The tendency of the disease spread has
been thus far mainly north, east and
west from New York, but case devel-
