PUTS QUARANTINE ON SHEEP

DISEASE KNOWN AS SCABIES PREVALENT IN KENTUCKY. First Time Infection Has Obtained Foothold East of Mississippi Government Acts. The ilisea.-e of shvep known as scab or scabies has become s'o prevalent in Kentucky that the secretar of agriculture has eon-idere J it necessary to declare a quarantine. This action comes after a thorough examnation into condition. The tact that the disease is contagious, being spread by parasites known :is sccb mites makes necessary a measure oi protection sufficient to prevent its pread into other states. Infection i known to exist to a slight extent in two adjoining states, but co minion.there are not serious- enough fo re quire federal quarantine. The' order for the quarantine which is effective August 10, providesthat sheep shall be moved in terstate from Kentucky only uiide 'the folio wimg conditions: Sheep that are diseased .with scabies and thai have been dipped once in an approv td dip un'der the super vi? ion of an inspector of the bureau of animal in üi:.bry within ten days before ship ment may be shipped -nterstate to a recognized slaughtering center fo immediate slaughter. If diseased sheep are to be shipped interstate lor sleeking or feeding purposes the shall be dipped twice with an interval of ten days. Other sheep may be moved interstate for feeding or stocking purposes after one dipping i.nder governicnt -supervision, or they may be shipped interstate undei quarantine restrictions for immediate slaughter without dipping. Inspection and dipping under the regulations will be performed only at pcints, w-'icre federal inspectors are stationed. LcuPsville is at present the only place in the state having flipping facilities), but if proper yard'i-n am dipping facilities a'roUM be installec! at other points the department of ag ri cult ure would consider the advisability of eablis-hrng iirspection a. such places .for the convenience o shippers. For many years sheep seal has been quite prevalent in tin West, but as a result of the com bined efforts of the federal and state authorities much territory has beei entirely freed and the infection ii other sections lias been greatly re ducexK and it is hoped that within ; few yearsi mere .the disease will b entirely stamped out. This i the firs time that the disease has obtained : sufficient foot-hold east of the Mis sissijpi river to require a federa quarantine.

CAUSES OF TYPHOID. Most Cases Are Attributable to Im pure Water and Tainted! Food. 'Bad drinking water in Ihiladelphi; costs the lives- ot hundreds of person a year through typhoid fever epidem fcs. With the installation of an im proved water system there, the deati, rate was reduced m per cent. Dr. Alexander Clever Abbott, tin noted authority on microbes, brough out the point at the 'Medical conven tion in Atlantic Cit and the mem bers of the convention agreed nvith Dr. Abbott that water is the prin cipal source of typhoid. Next to it i nrillv. Then comes the contagror caused by insects. (SitTgeonGer;eral Sternberg of the army declared Civs belief that the llj i-s one of the army's most-to-be dreaded enemies. "As early as 1SG7," saij he, "I is Sued a bulletin warning the troops collected in new tcamps against llie I stated my belief at that time that the fly also is the carrier of cholera, and I trace one ot the most severe epidemics to flies which came from a ship which was detained in quarantine. The ilies came ashore and foMowed the butchers' carts am' drays." Whether it is flies, milk or watei that cause the trouble is a great mystery to doctors who arc trying t trace the source of the undue amoun Ji typhoid -which prevails in Wash iirgfon, D. C. Congress spent $.1 000,000 in ins'tal'lintg an up-to-dat filter plant to cleanse the Potomic Bacteric'logical tests made sin'ce th filter was installed-have shown tht water to be good. But the high per cent of typhoid si Ml prevails. At a girls' school in one of. Washington's suburbs where there are 400 teachers and students, a typhoid epidemic broke out this spring, and th board was called upon to trace it. Dr Lumsden did the medico-detectivt work. By successive examinations and investigations the milk supply, the 'iSresh vegetables and possible contagion from contact were elimin ated. Finally suspicion centered 01 a stream fed by a spring .which wa? the source of the trouble.

Six UK.nlred employes oi the United States Steel corporation subsidiary rdant t the Indiana Steel company at Gary, Ind., quit work at the big steel )ills because they cannot get beer to brink there. The Indiana Steel com pany reports that at the last pay day 7 .".000 worth of pay checks were givvin to workmen employed at the mills, .vere cashed in South Chicago. Gary recently wnt dry. To remedy the abolition of saloons a mass meetinig attended by one hundred business men, took pJace in Gary last night. The gathering wa addressed bv W. II. Matthew, attor ney for the Indiana anti-saloon league, who was responsible for the saloon ouste at Gary. He declared that he had a conference with Judge F.. H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the Steel corporation, last summer, in which that official said that the only way to dispose ot the saloons that breed dives and gambling dens was by remonstrance, hence 'Mat hew declared, the Anti-sa loon league got busy. Matthew de nounced the inegal liquor dispensar ies, and said the blind pigs had been responsible for vice and the conse quent crusade which had paralyzed business in Gary by ' driving thousands of laborers out of town to seek liquor elsewhere. A petition was in troduced at the meeting to be taken up before the commissioners, the signors eit the document pledging themselves that if the remonstrance against the saloons are withdrawn, ail violations of law by saloon keepers will be prosecuted. A. A. Rodman, a tc former who was instrumental in the anti-vice crusade and who waütiacked recently, received a letter in which he was tol-d that it his effort did not cease his body would be - limped full of billets.

GOOD ROADS .

LIVE SUBJECT AGITATION HAS BROUGHT ABOUT GREAT IMPROVEMENT. Officials Have for Years Done Every thing Possible to Make Public Highways Better Washington, Aug lt. The recent great improvement in public roads throughout the country, followed by agitation ef tho subject until it has become one df the live topics of the day has resulted in thj receipt of many inquiries by the postoffice department concernin'g the matter. Under directions of Postmaster General Hitchcock replies in detail are made to these communication? without reservation. While tha postoftice departmen; has not anything official fo do with the matter of good roads or road building, ir has, in the nature ot things to cooperate with the department of agriculture, division of gooo roads, 'where governmental aid is necessary, and in that view th bureau of the fourth assistant postmaster general has been able to materially help the general cause through the avenues of rural delivery. : ! (ill The pevst office department has fo: a number of years been using even endeavor within the limits of its jur isdicfil'ii to secure the improvement i'i the public highways. It is a primary essential to the prompt and uninterrupted delivery and collection o mail that roads over which rural ek livery service is established shall be maintained in condition to be traveled with ease and facility at all seasons. This does not necessarily mean that the roads shall be of the highest improved type, but it does meat, that they shall be kept smooth, frc; ircm ruts and drained. Whenever report is made to the department that roads on 'which a rural route is established are in Jjad condition impeding the progress of the carrier or causing the service to be delayed or suspended the road cfticia'is, postmaster and patrons are immediately notified that unless step are taken within a reasonable time to improve such roads. These notices usually result in prompt and favorable action, but, when ignored, the service is withdrawn. In furtherance of its policy to se cure gcod roads the department has been co-operating with road officials, federal, state and local, and with good roa-ds associations. The resailt of the department's unceasing . demands for gocd reads and its co-operation with read officials and others concerned in the movement has been most gratifying to those in charge of the service involved and it is an (es tablished fact .that there has bj:en more money appropriated for, ind spent enr, good roads during" the ; 13 years in which rural delivery -has been in operation than in any ot ler periewl of the country's history. -, Many letters have recently been received at the postoffice department from different states of the union, extending invitations to officials to' attend and address good roads conventions and to express the atitude of the uep'artmct upon the subject. Cir cumstances and conditions have com pelled declinations of these invitations, but replies have been made, fully explaining why good roads are essential to the successful operation of the rural delivery service, and stating that the department, directly and througir postmasters ami carriers, stands ready and willing to co-operate in all good roads movements as far as conditions will permit.

DEFEND OPTION LAW.

Brief Filed by Counsel for Anti-Saloon League Declares . Measure Constitutional. Indianapolis, Aug. 14.-Numerous reasons for the contention that the county local option law, under which saloons have been vcteej. out of various counties of the state during the last year, is constitutional are eked in a brior filed in the supreme court by Attorney General BVgham; R. C. Min ten. attorney for the Anti-Saloon league, and the bw firm of Hanly, Artman & McAdanis, the members of the latter firm being former Governor Hanly Judge Samuel Artman, wL.; rendered the decision that the s.vl.von is a nuisance, and C. V. McAdanis, formerly" a member of the Indiana railroad: commlis'on. Thje brief i the State of Indiana's answer to the brief filed by the attorneys for Gecrge .McPherson, the Xoblesville saloonkeeper who, with others, is bent upon testing the law. The case is an appeal .from the Hamilton circuit court, where the law was held to be constitutional. Four Principal Reasons. Four principal reasons are given by the state's attojKeys in contending that the law is constitutional. The lir-'t is that the title of the act is not defective, as contended by the oppnsing side. The second is that the act does not 'delegate legislative power to the voters, as contended; and the third is that the taking effect of the act does not depend nporo 'the vote of the people. The fonnh reason is that neither the a,ct of 1D0S nor an r. fiirmative vote under it suspends the act of 1S7.i and the acts supplemental nd additional hereto. It is contended that the act of 11)08 (county local ptjon law) merely provides for an additional limitation, upon the jurisdiction of the board of county eomcissioners to grant saloon licenses. The object ion -nirged against the title of tiie act by McPbersonV attorneys is that the act is a prohibition statute pure and simple and that the subject, "Prohibition," is not expressed in the title. The state's attorney contended that a negative vote under the law does' not authorize the sale of liquors nor eloes an affirmative vote prevhibit their sale, but an affirmative vote adds an additional limitation tt the power of the board o! county commissioners to grant liquor licenses. It is contended, therefore, that the local optiem law is not a prohibition statute. INTEREST TAKEN INHYGIENE Robert J. Aley, State Superintendent, Makes Report After Attending Six County Institutes.

A LARGE SUM OF MONEY

IS REQUIRED ANNUALLY TO RUN THE U. S. GOVERNMENT. Doubtless Because the Revenues Are Not Collected Directly Millions Spent in Buying Goods. In a surprisingly interesting article on governmental expem3kures, .Geo. F. Burba co.nnds that some of , the governments of the old world are so expensive that the people supporting them have become bankrupt. Imagine the millions that are necessary to support such a government a s that of Russia. And look at the royal family of England, every member on" whit h i: provided for by the government, and at the vast navy' which is maintained at public expense. And there Ss the army of German', with the German navy fast approaching that of Enigland. Think otf the enormous amount of wealth that is required tx maintain such a' government. Would we in this country tolerate such foolishness? Would we tax ourselves to the extent the people of the old world are taxed to support in such splendor the thrones of the old-world monarchies? Would we be saddled with so' much glitter and tinsel at public expense? Before answering the question perhaps it would be well to know some thing of our government and the manner in which it rs ccmductcd, and the amount of money that is spent by the government When you have mastered the details you will find that the United States government is mere expensive than any other "m the world. More expensive than Russia, with aü of the crown princes to be provided for, you ask? !More expensive than England, more costly than Ger.manj---Fra:ice's expenses a mere pittance compared with ours? It costs more to operate the government oif the United States than it does to eperae any other government on earth. No other nation in history has ever approached us in the matter of spending the public funds. The appropriations of congress at the last session were greater by hundreds of millions than the appropriation of any other government in the world, We have no large army lik other countries are maintaining. ' Our navy is not so large as- Entgland's. Our colonies cannot compare with the Colonies of some other nations. We have no royal personages to take care of, no fixed court expenses to meet, no crown princes to provide for. The only great government construction under way is the. Panama canal, while several countries are pixhing construction works to a much greatei extent. And notwithst jnding all of these things? in our favor, we find thai it takes more money to run this simple republic than it does to meet the e xp c n s e s o f th e mos t e x t ra v a ga n t pioaiarcby'jn the world. No b"ne believes for a moment that we are getting a dollar's worth oi government 'for every' dollar spend. But so little interest do the people take in the matter of public expenditures that here in this; country, where theoretically the people make their own law, the expenses, ire double those -eft other countries. The trouble is largely' with our nanncr of raising xevenu . It is raised so indirectly that very few people -ealize they pay anything to the support of the government. The money is secured in such subtle ways that it doesn't seem to belong- to anybody, and everybody seems willing for the gov nment to spend any amount of möney the lawmaker write downi. 1'f the money for maintaining the government were raised by direct taxation if every lo!lar that every citizen pays .for the maintenance of the government were . taken out of his pcclcct by an officer who would make the statement at the time, "I want ! this imouey' to run the government; if such were the procedure, then everybody would want to know what was to 'be done with the money. The people, realizing- that the more that is sipe nt, the more taxes they would have to pay, would demand a daily balance sheet and carefully consider every item. The same thing would apply to the expenditures of the municipalities,, if all of the money required to run them were raised f v more direct tax ation. The expenditure millions woiuld not be left to incxpernccd people. The elections would be a different affair if it were not for the fact that a good deal of the revenue is raised by indirect axation.
