Cholera Constant Fear
For Asiatic Population

Cholera has been the scourge Of
Asia since the beginning of time,
and has repeatedly swept in great
epidemic waves out of its normal
breeding areas in India and Burma
into all the civilized nations Of the
world. taking a heavy toll on every
hand. 1t has followed in the wake
Of conquest and along the routes Of
invading armies, foe more feared
by many generals than men and
guns.
The micro-organism that spreads
the disease was found by Koch, the
brilliant physician, in the 1906. He
proved that it carried the often fatal
illness through the medium Of pol
luted water supplies, contaminated
milk and the clothing and bandages
Of soldiers gathered in temporary
encampments away from the nor
NAL supplies of water and food.
Cholera spreads so rapidly and
arises in isolated spots so unexpect-
eddy that medical men speak of it
as explosive. Eighty per cent Of
the guests at a state banquet in
honor Of the Russian car died with
in a day or two after infection. Per-
haps the most spectacular outbreak
was that which attacked Hamburg,
Germany, in the epidemic that
swept across Europe in 1892. People
died at the rate of 1000 a day for
many days, and before the pesti-
lence died out a few weeks later,
10000 persons were stricken.
The mass movements of large
bodies Of people who cannot guard
their source of water and food have
caused the disease to spread from
India and the Asiatic lands nearby
across the sea routes to the Medi-
terranean and overland through
Russia many times since Alexan-
der first fought his way to India.
Pilgrimages Of worshippers to Nee
ca and other sacred cities Of the
East have usually been followed by
pestilential outbreaks.
The disease strikes swiftly, caus-
ing diarrhoea and agonizing cramps
which lead Immediately, unless
checked by able medical treatment,
to complete collapse. The skin be-
comes dry, turns somewhat purple,
fever burns up most Of the fluids Of
the body and the heart beat slows
down. The death rate is high.

versity Farm and Northwest Crop
Improvement association officials.
At this season of the year, when
farmers start looking for the seed
they intend to plant next spring, we
feel that they should be warned
against giving more than a trial to
varieties Of wheat that are not
known to be adapted, says r. F.
Grim, extension agronomist, Uni
versity Farm.
Agricultural experiment stations
were established to produce, test
and secure the much-needed I'M
biased information about new var
ieties, because the individual farm
err finds the trial-and-error method
Of choosing from among the count
less varieties too expensive to be
practical says Grim.
A plant breeder requires from 10
to 20 years to produce a new varie-
ty. He must first make his cross,
then study his plants for factors
such as resistance to the many
plant diseases and drouth. Milling
and baking tests are next conduct
ed in cooperation with other ex-
pertinent stations in spring wheat
states and the federal, state and
commercial baking laboratories.
These workers need three years CT
data before sufficient information
can be obtained to accept or reject
a promising new variety.
The new varieties produced by
our various state, as well as Cana
dian, experiment stations are usual
ly resistant to stem rust. They may
vary in resistance to ether diseases.
OF the varieties tested commercial
ly, Thatcher is the only one so far
that has proved its ability to meet
the commercial requirements,
Grim says. Thatcher, like other
wheats, may have it's faults, but it's
good points far outweigh them.
Flour from it is acceptable to the
miller, baker and housewife.
Other new varieties need further
trials before growers, bakers and
consumers can intellectually &C
cept them. New spring wheats
must be equal to, or better than old
ones If they are to maintain the
spring wheat expectations of the
market. A carload CT wheat Of low
milling value is disappointment
to the purchaser and lowers the
reputation of the station from
which it was shipped. thus lower
ing the general price level of wheat
from this particular locality.
A number of new varieties are
being tested at University Farm
and branch stations this year and
data will be available early in 1910
from which recommendations will
be made.

Crowded Inns Gave Us Purses
There's an odd little story behind
that purse we dip into so frequently.
1t is linked up with the origin of the
word Bourse, generally applied to
foreign stock exchanges. In the
Fourteenth century, says Pearson's
London Weekly, the Venetians used
to venture up from the Mediterrane-
an in their stout little ships to take
cargoes Of spices to Bruges. Quar-
tiers were pretty crowded in the
inns, so for the transaction of their
business they established their head
quarters in the house of a rich
Dutchman named Van den Purse.
1t was after extensive British trans
actions with this Dutchman that we
dropped the good old English word
''money-bag" and adopted purse"
Purse, mispronounced, came to be
spoken in Venice and elsewhere as
'burse," and that name was given
to markets where important mon
ey transactions occurred.

ROBERT L. MOODY

The Goddess
As students Of history and re-
ligion we have carefully watched
tho fruits of Russian Commun-
ism. We admit that most of u
news is censored but recent events
have cause1 us to understand GER
tain principles.
Investigation rebsals that COM
lrunism is carrying on an exten.
siye eompaign against all reli-
gson and belief in God. 1t believes
that Christ's ideal of humility
and preference for ones brotnef
are obsurd. When one decides to
cast away all %spirituals and NOR
al authority, their c%onscieice be-
comes seered and the fear of God
is lost entirely.
Many Americans have bsen
tempted to turn communist as a
remedy for our own ills. But the
unannounced and u%nprcvoked
slaughter that Russia committed
in Finland recently makes us
wonder if this. theology believes
in human conscience.
War is horrible in any form,
whether it exists between indivi-
dual or nations. But when $4,000
600 men begin to Stay defensive
less women and children without
warning, we shake with fear.
To think that 100000 Tor one
sixtieth of 1S,00O,00O,) deliber-
ately threatens a larger neigh
Dor is unbelievable.
, Again, we have more praise to
give to real democracy and belief
in % supreme love to God (not
the state) and ~ love to our
neighbors as we do ourselves. We
do do not claim that everyone
lives up to this ideals, but at least
we have a higher goal than sheer
materialiam and brute force.

WHITE BAPTISTS DENOUNCE
JIM CROWISM AT S. c.
CONCLAYE

Greenville, S. S. Dec. Z amp
Negro baiters and Southern
advocates of white supremacy
were given a decided jolt here
last week when the Social Ser
vice commission of the 10th an
nual Baptist Convention, white
submitted q report recommending
the granting to Negroes of al
most every social, economic and
political right they have bsen
fighting for since reconstruction
Days.
The commission urged the Bap-
list leaders to "seek to accord
The Negro his just and legal
rights as fast. as he is able to
assume them," and this recon-
mendation coupled with others
equally atrong and revolutionary,
precipitateh a controversy that
waged on the floor of the con
vention and in committee rooms
during the entire three-day SEES
sion.
But when the fireworks had
cleared, and the conservative
element again held sway, the
delegates voted to strike out the
controversial section" as being
"more political than religious"
The section of the Social Service
commission report which frankly
advocated justice and fair play
Tor Negroes was read by the
Rev. w. w. Leathers of Con-
way, S. C..
The immediate u of the
controversy was the section say
ing, Every one agrees that
wholesome restrictions should be
placed about the ballot but every
citizen who is qualified to vote
should be permitted to do so.
There is good reason to antici-
pate eventual social upheavel in
any commonwealth in which 8
minority group composing 45
per- cent of its population is den
led the ballot simply because Of
its color.
This introduction to the reporr
on the Negro covering over siS
pages threw the convention int,
a turmoil. One chompion for thu
adoption of the report said, 1T
tax the Negro without lettinl
him vote if he is qualified
