WHAT HOOVER is DOING.

Mr. Hoover embodies the League issue,
he gives an opportunity for expression TO
millions of Republicans who could not
approve the successful maneo,vnngs of
Mir Lodge for the slaughter OF the Treaty
and the covenant He has upset and
confused the calcul stions of Mr.. Lodge s
party throughout the land.
Already he has gwen them no end OF
trouble and their troubles will increase.
His strength with the people and the
growing power of his name become evident
TO them at the very moment when the
Republicans at Washington are busying
themselves with the miserable sibterfuge
of an impossible peace resolution. They
know that peace can be established only
by treaty, they know that our foreign
relations and treaty negotiations are the
concern Of the President. The killing Of
the Treaty was followed by revlllsion Of
feeling, which finds intensified expression
In the support given TO Mr.. Hoover.
If he should fail to secure either nomi-
nation, it would be glory enough for him
should he become the chosen instrument
for beating some sense into the heads OF
the Republicans at Washington, for
opening their eyes to the true sentiment
Of the country, and for bringing about
ultimately the ratification Of the Treaty

their investigations have covered such a

There were intimations of fraud IN about

THE SUFFRAGE OUTLOOK.

Defeat of the Nineteenth Amendment
in Delaware reduces suffrage hopes TO
Vermont and North Carolina. In the
former State the Legislature has shown
by an emphatic vote its approval ot equal
suffrage-one chamber was able TO pass
State suffrage measure over Governor
Clements veto. There arc optImIsts who
believe that under pressure from the
legislators, the women and national
nartv leaders Governor Clement may yet
call a special session. In North Carolina,
Governor Beckett win call special ses-
sion in July and has endorsed the amend
ment. Upland legislators may fall into
line behind him. But North Carolina had

To lose the right to vote in the primaries

consoling fact would remain that the
great majority will be able to vote tor
President anyway More than half the
States have granted complete suffrage
or Presidential suffrage. and many of the

nois, Missouri, California, Michigan,
Iowa and so on-are in the list. But the
women of Pennsylvania. Ohio, Massa-
chusetts. Texas and other important
States which have ratified the Federal
amendment would not have the ballot.

In Germany all things are mixed,

bust, and leave behind a cloud of
dust. And old Ex Bill, he sits and
blinks, and manv kinds of thoughts
he thinks. "They can't cut ice

sits there alone; they talk republics
and tho like; republics. Foe the love

FOUND NEW DISEASE GERM
Annoying "Deer-FIy Fever" 1t Is An
nounced, Is Caused by Bac-
terium TuIarense.

Announcement has been made by the
United States public health service of
the discovery by its investigators of
a new germ foe to man, which causes
a disease which has resulted in ia
tai cases in Utah, the New York Times
says.
An investigation has been completed
by Surgeon Edward Francis. The
germ, which bears the name of bac-
terium tularenSe, was first located by
Doctors Mccoy and Chaplin of the
health service, as the causative agent
in a plaguelike' disease of rodents. 1t
was not then known that the same
germ also infects man.
Doctor Francis now finds that bac-
terium tularenSe is the cause of "deer-
fly fever" disease occurring among
the rural population of Utah, and in
itiated, according to popular belief, by
a fly bite on some exposed surface Of
the body. The site of the bite and
the neighbOring lymph glands become
tender and inf1amed and commonly
suppurate. A fever like that in Ordi-
nary blood poison develops and lasts
from three to six weeks.
