land no longer Is suitable for flax
but If so this has not prevented the
planting of several million acres each
year.
Since the proposed adjustment
payment would be made on an in
creased acreage, rather than for q
reduction as with wheat, the scheme
would provide cash income from some
of our idle acres.
Walter Maddox, North Dakota
representative on the wheat board,
estimates the plan would increase our
agricultural income next year by
about $4,000, 900, sizeable item even
when spread among 10000 farmers. I
He also suggests that the agricul-
tural department isn't going to do
anything about it unless there is q
demand for it and that delay will be
costly to us because flax will be
planted extensively this year in the
lower middle west. An apportion-
ment for 1896, based on the acreage
planted in 1885, would reduce our
proportion of the amount to be de-
rived from the proposed flax pro-
cessing tax.
In this circumstance both farm and
city groups should advise the agri-
cultural department that they want
flax treated as the basic commodity
which the law declares it to be and
that an adjustment program should
be worked out for it.

suitable sterile or antiseptic dressing.
Then I should want an immediate
prophylactic dose Of anti-tetanic
serum Oock-jaw antitoxin) and q
second dose of the same serum in q,
week or 10 days. That is all. I should
not want such wound cauterized
or otherwise atrociously treated. I
should not want any Pasteur virus
injected.
Indeed It Is because Pasteur virus
or anti-rabic vaccine is so crude and
unscientific that I should hate to re-
ceive or give any of it in any case.
The Los Angeles County hospital is
one Of the largest If not the largest
institutions in the country. These Is

incidence of alleged rabies. In all IS
cases the diagnosis was Of course
matter of opinion.
In four of the cases, as my COL
league who believes in human rabies
says, it was ''conclusiyely proven by
animal incubation, satisfying Kochs
postulate." But he is in error about
satisfying Koch's postulate or rule or
law. In order to do that one must
first isolate the specific germ, culture
1t outside Of the body. then inoculate
animals with the pure culture and
produce the characteristic signs OF
the disease, and finally recover from
these animals the specific germ or
organism. The incubation Of an
animal such as guineapig or rabbit

Practical Demonstration

Much has been said recently about
North Dakota following in the po-
litical footsteps Of Texas.
How the so-called Texas system
works is illustrated by an article in
the Dallas News discussing the pos
sibility of a special legislative ses-
sion to further consider a state re-
lief appropriation.
This news writer, taking for grant,
ed that Texans know what the sit
uation is In their statehouse, report
ed a gubernatorial press conference
as follows:
1.-THE date and subjects to be
considered were discussed as If
the matter had been decided but
the program awaits the reaction
to legislators from the opinions
of their constituents and its
transmission to the governor.
Ferguson said meetings should be
held in the various counties and
the people should indicate their
desire to members OF the legis-
lature. Regret was expressed By
Ferguson at inadequacies and
unsatisfactory provisions. Of the
bond relief bill, at the defeat of
the Pope tax penalty remission
bill. which he termed tragedy,
and at the death of the Brazos
River Conservation and Rec
lamation District bill and the
Lower Colorado River authority
measure"
The article then goes on to say
that Mrs. Miriam Ferguson, legal oc-
cupant of the governors chair, was
present at the conference but said
nothing and seemed to be in accord"
with her husbands statements.
That is the kind of government
states Of the union can get II they
permit themselves to be misled into
believing specious arguments and
false assertions.

That Money Lending Action

Let US take another look at that
bit of money lending that took place
over in Bismarck q few weeks ago by
which the attorney general Of the
state Of North Dakota obtained an
advance of $4,000 from the Bank Of
North Dakota.
Mr.. p. O. Satire, the attorney
general, insists the loan was legal in
all respects: that an unexpected sit
uation had developed with relation
to the utility tax that required the
expenditure Of money over and above
the amount appropriated to his de-
partment by the state legislature,
hence the loan had to be negotiated.
II Mr.. Sathre's contention is sound,
then there exists no limitation what
soever upon what any official or any
institution Of the state of North Da-
kota may or may not do in this mat
ter OF piling up Indebtedness. All
that Is necessary Is to find somebody
willing to lend the money, and in
this respect the attorney general hap
pened to have q distinct advantage
Tor, not only was he borrowing the
money, but he also was participating
as lender. AS a member of the in
dustrial commission he, personally.
voted to lend money to himself as
attorney general. the commission
controlling the Bank Of North Da-
kota.
The records disclose that two men,
bers OF the industrial commission at
the time the loan was made, voted
for the grant. They were Mr.. Satire
and the then Governor LANCER. The
third member Of the industrial COM
mission. Commissioner of Agriculture
and Labor John HUSKY, was not
present at the meeting and, accord
ing to his own statement, was not
apprised Of the fact that a meeting
OF the commission was contemplated
or was being held.
Mr.. Satire has some peculiar no.
tons on this subject of "emergency'
situations. Not so long ago he gave
an opinion to the effect that there
was no way that Acting Governor Ole
H. Olson could obtain additions

flee OF governor. When Mr.. Olson
came to that office, he found the an.

existed in that office, one over which
Mr.. Olson had no control, vet Mr.
Satire says there is no way tina,

Mr.. Satire to obtain $4,000 for hi,

DOES RABIES OCCUR IN MAN:

In the Los Angeles County hospital
records for 10 years (1922-3N there
were Is deaths aScribed to rabies. In
four instances, according to a physi-
clan who believes rabies does occur in
man. the character Of the disease to
which the victims Succumbed was
conclusively proven by animal inocu-
lation Of brain substance from the
suspected persons. This is the most
conclusive proof known to science,
fulfilling Koch's postulate. In five
cases negri bodies were found in the
human brain.'
We're funny, we docs, when we wish
to appear scientific" Koch would
turn over in his grave If he could
hear this strange twist Of his postu-
late.
There IS absolutely nothing scien-
tlfic about the alleged diagnosis, pre-
vention or treatment of rabies in
man. There is nothing scientific
about the diagnosis of rabies in ami
mails. It is all a purely empirical
question, a question Of individual
opinion. Even the finding of So
called negri bodies, regarded by some
pathologists as characteristic of ra-
bles, Is a matter Of personal opinion
merely; one good pathologist will be-
lieve the microscopic section he
examines shows such bodies, while
another equally competent labora-
tory pathologist scrutinizes the same
microscopic section and believes what
his colleague takes for negri bodies
are, actually red blood corpuscles of
irregular type. But Of course the
public gets the benefit Of the doubt
and the laboratory report OF the
examination of the animals brain
comes back positive" and another
rabies scare is on.
PaSteur virus or any modification
q It used for the preventive inocula-
ton OF persons bitten by dogs pre-
Sumed to have had rabies, is a shot
IN the dark in the truest sense OF the
term. Nobody knows what he is doing
when he injects such virus. No
body has ever determined the char
acter OF 1t. No one has found the
cause Of rabies. We have no actual
scientific test by which we can make
sure IN any case whether or not the
disease is rabies.
II IS all an empirical question, and
my opinion Is just as good as the
opinion Of any other doctor.
I know nothing about the actual
cause Of death in any of the IS cases
IN the Los Angeles County hospital
records In that 10-year period. The
records show that "Pasteur treat
ment' was instituted In from one to
three days after the victim was bit
ten In six cases. but no "Pasteur
treatment" was given in six cases,
and in the other three the matter
was not mentioned in the records.

tive value Of the method.

Tribune Washington Correspondent

Washington, Oct. Life for the
foreign diplomatic set has been Just
horrible nightmare ever since the
senate munitions committee laid the
ethics OF the armament business out
on the operating table and started
welding the scalpei.
Foreign attaches usually put in q
tough days work featured by slipping
. little weak tea or an occasional
cocktail in the lounge Of the May
flower or Shoreham.
Now they are suddenly deluged
with mail, telephone, and personal
calls from countrymen all heated up
at the assertions before the commit
tee that homeland officials suffer
from chronic cacaethos palnli, or
itching palm.
At the British embassy, where the
name Of his majesty is never even
mentioned except possibly In q
breathless and reverent toast over q
bottle Of old huntin' port, I'm told
attaches practically swooned IN rows
at the rude suggestion that the king
wasn't above helping the British mu-
nitions firms to turn an honest dol
lar.
Sir Ronald Lindsay, British am
bassador, led q long file Of lesser
diplomats with a protest that was
described as more hurt than angry"
Some Of the diplomatic folks ac-
tually had to cut short their three
month holiday at the shore to ham
die the squawks Of indignant fellow
citizens.
Some Of the few who sport 4 sense
ct humor sat back in their cavern
GUS chancelleries and waited the
next revelations with q grim smile

Dunn County Tempest

Dunn County Tempest
The manner in which political pre-
JUDGE sometimes forces honest per-
sons into queer situations is demon
strated by q series of letters appear
ing In the last issue of the Killdeer
Herald.
Two weeks ago a Democratic rally
was held at Manning, in Dunn coun-
ty, and the women of the Farmers
Union local Of that place served
dinner, charging the customers 40
cents each.
Subsequently one who signed him
self . paid up farmers union men,
Der" sent letter to the Killdeer
newspaper in which he took the
women and the Manning local sew
erely to task for aiding and abetting,
of all things, . Democratic political
meeting.
Immediately the good men and
women Of Manning rose in their own
defense. A. second paid up men,
Der" commented that the first writer
evidently didn't like the Democrats
anyway. A woman put the director
very neatly in his proper place and
Frank Regeth, Jr., secretary Of the
Dunn County Farmers Union, also
had his say.
Not only does he defend the in
tegrity Of his neighbors. he girds
himself for q more important fray
involving q discussion Of the culinary
abilities Of Manning's farm house.
wives. Says Mr.. Regeth, in language
which we suspect he had a hard
time making polite: "As far as the
cooking Of the ladies Of the Man
ming Farmers Union causing anyone
loss Of mind or the bellyache, we'll
I have eaten It for long time and
It hasn't affected me that way"
It Is purely = local tempest. Of
course, but it has outside interest,
Mr.. Regeth being who he is. For
this young man served in the state
senate at the last session, having
been elected in . 1892 recall election,
and there he supported most Of the
LANCER administration policies.
One wonders II such castigation as
that by the unnamed writer Of the
original letter doesn't do his political
friends more harm than good. We
can think Of few better ways to start
real trouble than to tell a group Of
farm women that their cooking leads
to the bellyache.
They-and their husbands-haye a
right to resent 1t. This writer has
little knowledge Of Dunn county
farm cooking, but If it is up to the
standard set by the rest Of the state
which It probably is, we will string
along with 1t any day.
