instance, you will hear that the
State Departments interest in Mic
araguan and Mexican affairs was
timed ito coincide with the fleet
maneuvering in the Caribbean Sea.
The idea, if you are willing to be-
lieve one authority, is to attract
nationwide attention to the Navy

the end that the preparedness is

the other hand, you will learn
from other sources, equally as
sincere, that this government
must win its point in Latin-Amer-
ican politics, in order to insure the
preservation of the Monroe Doc
trine. 1t is also said that COM
munistic forces are endeavor-
ing to obtain stronghold in our
neighboring republics so that the
American Government will be
embarrassed in international af-
fairs. No matter where you go

Four Horsemen of the Apocalyp-

ically remembered.
Aside from investigations in
the State Departments propropa-
ganda, and demand in some quar-
ters for the resignation of Secre-
tary of State Kellogg, Congress
turns it's attention to domestic af-
fairs. There has been sporadic
debate on the prohibition issue in
the Senate and House. Controv-
ersy over alcoholic denaturants re-
vived the question of moral re-
sponsibility on the part of the Gov
ernment. The House Members
have taken advantage of the lull
in their schedules to pass scores of
bridge bills or measures of inn
portance to their congressional dis
tricts. Several appropriation bills
are due within the next few days,
and we are assured of early pas
sage in the House. In the Senate
the political situation is entirely
different.
1t is apparent that Senators in
tend to have a moral regeneration.

The condition became so alarming that
President Coolidge sent special message to

Treaties were entered into in 1928 which
caused the Executive department of the
United States to hope that the internal

Conditions were better for a time following

Washington Letter

Washington, Jan. 12-Although
there are certain groups straining
their ears in an effort to detect
war alarms, the average official
in Washington is not unduly ex-
cited over the Latin-American or
Chinese situations. Impartial
study of the World War has shown
beyond dispute that many peoples
were misled and deceived by pro-
paganda, SO that every precaution
is taken by responsible authorities
to avoid the unloosening of war.
Nobody doubts the usefulness of
propaganda as attested in the pres
.ence of earnest workers, for dis
armament and armament, who are
in Washington these days preach
ing their particular doctrines.
However, international affairs, no
matter how delicate, cannot keep
the United States Senate from its
house-cleaning activities; that is.
passing upon the moral qualifica.
tions of its members.
1t is difficult to get up the real
facts but rumors eminate from
apparent authentic sources. For

Disease Contracted From

State Board of Health Issues
Warning in Care of Handling
and Cooking Meat

Be careful in handling dead
rabbits and rabbit meat, and be
sure to cook well any rabbit meat
used for food.
This is the warning issued by
the State Board of Health after
a Detroit Lakes, Minn., woman
died from the first known case of
tularemia in Minnesota.
The disease is one of rodents.
such as rabbits and squirrels,
chiefly, but can be communicated
to humans. Dogs and cats are
believed immune.
The infection can be spread
through biting of wood ticks, blood
sucking flies, rabbit lice, and
mouse feas. Only the first five
of these insects are known tc
bite humans.
Humans are more likely to be.
come infected through the hand.
ling of infected animals thar
through any other means.
Whenever rabbits or other 70.
dents are found to be i'll and dy.
ing, the carcass should be prompt.
ly burned or buried, avoiding al
unnecessary handling. 1t is alse
advised that he should avoic

dead rabbit if there is any oper
wound or abrasion of the skin O.

It is further advised that al
rabbit meat should be cooked
thoroughly before it is eaten.

A COMPETENT PUBLIC OFFICIAL

The entry of Highway Commissioner
Charles NJ Babcock into the lists as an ac-
tive candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton as United States senator two years hence
would not only "gum up the cards" but cause
any of the other aspirants for the place sleep
less nights.
There is no man who is as well known
in Minnesota today as Charles M. Babcock.
Scarcely day but what the Minnesota High
way department is given first page story
in the daily press, and the weekly papers
of the state give him columns of publicity.
The value of publicity is clearly shown
in the vote received each year by Mike Holm,
secretary of state. Mr.. Holm's name ap-
pears on hundreds of thousands of pieces of
literature sent to the citizens of the state
each year, indelibily impressing it on the
minds of the people.
The comeback of julius Schmahl when
he won the nomination and election of State
Treasurer, after having retired to private
life several years ago, is another illustra-
tion of the value of this sort of publicity.
Mr.. Babcock is one of the really big
men of Minnesota. His work as head of the
states highway department since the enact
ment of the "Babcock Highway Plan," has
demonstrated this
He desires to continue in the work to
which he has given the best years of his
life. He has made several important recon-
mendations to the Legislature to permanent
ly develop the Trunk Highways of the State.
If the Legislature follows his suggestions he
promises to have every mile of Minnesotas
1000 miles of trunk highway graded and
graveled and 1000 miles of paving on high
ways carrying heavy traffic, within two
year period.
The Herald does not understand that
Mr.. Babcock insists the Legislature follow
his recommendations entirely. In fact he
will not make any strenuous fight to put his
program across.
His potential candidacy will become a
possibility in case the work of the Highway
Department is "ham-strung" by the law
makers
The Herald sincerely hopes that this will
not take place. From the writer's knowl-
edge Of the service Mr.. Babcock has rend-
cred the state he is in position to complete
the work he has started more competently
and more economically than any man who
might succeed him.
The Minnesota Highway Department is
one of the departments of the state which
is really functioning.

ago, is still awaiting the arrival of
Mr.. Frank Smith, Senate-designate
from the State Of Illinois. Every
thing is in readiness for the
bouncing or the expulsion Of Mr..
Smith from the Senate Chamber
before he can be seated by par
liamentary trick.
According to one important Sem
ator, the Senate is becoming dis
gruntled at the prevailing opin-
ion as the report that "the United
States Senate is a Millionaires
Club" This belief arises from the
fact that at least score of SEN
ators are known to be rich in
worldly goods. The enormous ex-
penditures for office as revealed
in the primary campaign investi-
cations show that it costs money
to occupy seat in the upper
Chamber. 1t is true that some
Senators depend entirely upon
their salaries and are proud of
the fact that they have no other
source of income. 1t is also under
stood that some of the rich Sen
ators spend more than twice their
salary in keeping up appearances,
socially and politically. One of
the foremost members of that body
is so hardpressed financially that
in accepting invitations to speak
at public gatherings outside of
Washington requests his expenses
and honorarium or fee.
Inquiries show that fifty inves-
legations are underway, either in
the Senate or the House. Some of
the inquiries are in the nature of
political post mortems, while 9TH
ers deal with appointments of the
Administration. With the craze
for investigation growing, it is a
difficult matter for the President
to appoint man to high office
who will be considered eligible by
the Senate. There are several va
cancies, which ordinarily would
have been filled weeks ago, but
those suitable for the place are
often reluctant to have their per-
sonal lives scrutinized by political
enemies before their appointments
are confirmed. The Investigations
will consume a considerable por-
tlon of the seven weeks remaining
before the adjournment of Con-
gress, which otherwise would have
been profitably devoted to con-
structive affairs.

1926 State Fair Showed
Loss In Excess of $4,000
Secretary Thomas H. Canfield's
Report Shows Agricultural
Society Has Big Resources

The Minnesota State Fair has
resources totaling $2,641, ,133. 81,
the report of Thomas H. Garfield,
secretary-general manager, to Gov
ernor Christianson reveals.
Value of land owned by the
State Fair is $1,O69,275 Sc.
Buildings are valued at $1,348,-
$4,000, bringing the total value of
real estate to $2,418,214.66. Cash
on hand at the close of the fiscal
year, Nov. 80, was $1O8,101. 90.
Accounts receivable were $6,961.-
Sc, making the total resources $2,-
41,133.31.
Despite the inclement weather
last Fair week, when it rained on
four of the eight days, the at
tendance was well over the 4OO,-
900 mark, the audited count show
ing 411,275. Even though the
receipts were considerably less
than a year ago, due to cancelled
grandstand performances, the
loss on the operation of the Fair
was only $16,850.87. If fair
weather had been encountered on
one or two of the three days CIV
en- over to automobile racing, a
substantial profit would have been
shown. However, all obligations
were promptly met, since the
management went into the fiscal
year of 1926 with a cash reserve
of S125.SS1 26.
The Night Horse Show entry
list this year was the largest in
history. The total attendance for
the five nights was 1874.
The number Of exhibitors at
the 1926 Fair was 6,248.

port Of Mr.. Garfield follow:

would be used, if necessary, to protect the
interests of all Americans living in the Canal
zone The HIGH liphts of his message were

le. The high lights of his message we
The proprietary rights of the United
States in the Nicaragua canal route, with
the necessary implications growing out of
it affecting the Panama canal, together
with the obligations flowing from the in
vestments of all classes of our citizens in
Nicaragua, place us in a position of Pc
culiar responsibility.
l am sure it is not the desire of the
United States to intervene in the internal
affairs of Nicaragua, nor any other Central
American republic. Nevertheless, it must
be said that we have very definite and
special interest in the maintenance of order
and good government in Nicaragua at the
present time, and that the stability, pros
perity and independence of all Central
American countries, can never be mat
ter of indifference to us.
The United States can not, there
fore, fail to view with deep concern, any
serious threat to stability and constitu-
tional government in Nicaragua tending
toward anarchy and jeopardizing Amer
lean interests, especially if such a state
of affairs is contributed to or brought
about by outside influences or by any
foreign power.
1t has always been and remains the pol
icy of the United States in such circum-
stances to take the steps that may be nec-
essary for the preservation and protection
of the lives, the property and the interests
of it's citizens and of this government it
self. In this respect propose to follow
the path of my predecessors.
Consequently 1 have deemed it my
duty to use the powers committed to me
to insure the adequate protection Of all
American interests in Nicaragua, whether
they be endangered by internal strife or
or by outside interference in the affairs
@of that republic.
