In the Senate yesterday, Mr.. Owen
from the Committee on Banking and
Currency, made a favorable report
on the McAdoo bill, for melting up
250,000,000 "Bland Silver Dollars"
and substituting Federal Reserve
notes for the silver certificates now
in circulation to represent the silver
dollars held in the Treasury. After
Senator Owen had said that Federal
Reserve notes would be substituted
for the silver certificates, he eX-
planned further that to encourage sill
yer production an equal amount of
bullion with that melted for export
would be bought from our mine
owners at a dollar an ounce. He
wished to have the bill passed at

and explaining the crisis at which
Mr.. willard Spooner. Mr. August
Vogel, and other Leading citizens OF
Milwaukee. including himself, had
been referred to in the Milwaukee
Free Press as the exquisite gentry"
Of the city. This seditious sheet had
wondered il such silk stockings as
Messrs. Spooner. Vogel, and Blood
good would not remove from a town
like Milwaukee as unfit for the resi-
dence OF persons OF their distinction.
Other newspapers had also INDUCED
in similar reasonable ribaldry. The
occasion, II seems. was given by an
election in which Mr. Bloodgood and
his associates were heavily outvoted
by the rabble To show how bold
this unchecked treason had grown
Mr. BloodgOOd testified that one pa
per had even called them lunatics.
He convinced all present that the
civil courts had failed entirely to
check this. AS he held Mr.. Victor
Berger, of Milwaukee, chiefly re-
sponsible for it, he explained that
though on February an indictment
had been found against Mr.. Berger,
that seditious political disturber had
secured bail and become more per-
niciOusly active politically than ever.
Manfestly this could not have been
the case if Mr.. Berger had been
court-martialed under the auspices
of his most distinguished and patri-
Otic political opponents. Mr. Blood
good then quoted various Federal Of
ficials, some of them eminent in
Washington, to support his own view
that the civil courts. admitting DO
litical criminals to bail, are entirely
inadequate in such cases as that
Of Mr.. Berger. When asked if it
might not be perhaps unconstlu-
tional to substitute courts-marSNl
for trials by jury, when it was found
that no jury would convict such men
as Berger, Mr.. Bloodgood was of the
opinion that before the constitution
allty of the cOurt-martial act could
be tested, it could be made fully ef-
fective for all practical purposes. He

All this plainly appeared yester-

OF the civil courts in all cases where

SHOCK.
TUBERCULOSIS or HOG HERD
Sanitary Lot and Clean Feed Are En-.
emies of This Disease--SIow in
Its Development.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF AgricuIture)
tuberculosis is rapidly increasing
among hogs in the United States, and
every owEer Of swine should be on his
guard against the introduction of this
serious malady upon his premises. I'm
like hog cholera this disease is insid-
ious in its attack and slow in its de-
velopment, so that it may be present
for months in a herd without exciting
the least suspicion of the owner, and
VIII be revealed to him only at tire time
of slaughter. Until recent years tuber-
culosis has been looked upon as of un-
common occurrence and only of impor-
lance from a meat-inspection stand
point; but today it must be recognized
as serious menace to the owner of
hogs, and especially to the one who al
lows his hogs to run with cattle that
have not been proved to be free of tu-
berculosis, or who feeds them upon
noDsterilized products as part of their
ration. As tuberculosis of hogs is chief
ly contracted through eating infected
feed, the Importance of this statement
is obvious.
tuberculosis of hogs is closely asso-
c1ated with the same disease in cattle,
the reason being apparent when one
considers the close relations of these
two species of animals upon nearly ev-
cry farm. Tuberculous cattle may scat
ter great numbers of tubercle bacilli
with their excrement; cows that are
tuberculous may produce contaminated
milk that is subsequently fed to pigs;
and carcaSses of cattle that have died
from tuberculosis are sometimes eaten
by hogs.
The feeding of hogs upon creamery
refuse is also a very frequent source
of infection. In this way the milk of
a single cow with a tuberculous udder,
il sent to a public creamery, may
spread the disease to a number of
hogs, and may also infect many farms
that have never previously been con-
taminated with tuberculosis.
An equally dangerous source of in
lection is likewise observed in the
methods which obtain among some Of
the small country slaughter houses. 1t
Is not unusual for these houses to get
rid of their blood, intestines, viscera,
and other inedible parts by feeding
them to hogs, herd of which is usual
ly kept on the premises. This custom
Is pregnant with danger and serves to
perpetuate the infectious principle of
various contagious and parasitic dis
eases, particularly tuberculosis.
Hogs are also susceptible to tuber-
culous infection from affected persons
and poultry, but these sources are UNI
