POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS

The suffrage movement made a
big advance the other day when the
doors of the Tammany wigwam
were thrown open to women. lam
many, the Oldest political society
in the world, has admitted women
as members of its executive conf
mittee on an equality with men.
State Senator Castwriglt OF Cal
ifornia, father of antitrust legis-
lation in that state, now repudiates
the law that he sponsored, and dis
avows the inculcation OF antitrust
principles by law. Many laws work
out differently in practice from
what they do in theory.
OF course Senator Sherman was
lust indulging in constructive crit
icism" and there was nothing polit-
ical in it when he called the presi-
dents advisers "howling dervishes,
Economic fakirs" and other uncom-
plimentary things and demanded
that they be cast ont OF the high
places to which they had been ele-
waited.

RABIES SITUATION
Is GROWING WORSE

The rabies situation is becoming
more alarming every day with new re-
ports OF stock losses coming in from
different sections of the county.
F. ]. Button, superintendent OF the
Bliss ranches, who is in town, states
that on his last trip to the BulIhead
ranch on the Little Humboldt he had
a novel experience with a yearling
steer which undoubtedly was rabid.
He was out in the field looking at the
cattle when the steer. which seemed
TO be blind, lunEed into his automo
bile twice, the second time nearly get.
ting into the car. One OF the men went
for a gun and in coming back he saw
a rabid coyote among the cattle and
II is likely that number OF the stock
were bitten by the brute as he was
swapping at them when seen. Mr.
Button had the young steer killed.
This is not the first loss from this
cause on these ranches. the Bliss
brothers having been heavy lossers o
stock from rabies from the time thai
the disease broke out in this section
At the Harvey ranch in Paradise val
ley It is reported that thirty head ot
cattle have died from rabies or wer,
killed because the animals had tho
disease.
These are only couple of instance
Of stock being infected with rabies
The disease is prevalent all over Tn,
