Only the Harare of 4 einulatloa contained lm ita report an 1 - aw m. J 1 ft s sMsVsBboIsAbAmBW J terns Gathered in From Far and Near Dust and Disease. From the Newark News. ' . The dust nuisance iu Newark yesterday was terrific. Clouds of dirt from the littered Btreets were hurled through the air and carried into stores, factories and homes. Some relief could have been secured had the streets been sprinkled or flushed, but nothing of the sort was done. The health authorities who are so interested in the suppression of tuberculosis ought to be interested in this neglect to, suppress dust, one of the breeders of it. With the arrival of spring, however, there seems to be a letting up in the fight against the great white plague. The antl-Bpitting ordinance has apparently been forgotten. The good start of a short time ago, when a number of arrests were made, and " a a a j A. . the announcement neraiaea mat m regulation must be strictly complied with, has pot Improved the conditions very noticeably. Newark is not the only place where anti-spitting ordinances have become dead letters. Statistics prepared by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis show that antl-spit-tlnr ordinances and regulations in more than five-eighths of the" cities and towns of . the country are not enforced as they should be. . ' Summer Music for the People. From the Chicago Record-Herald. The philanthropy department of the rhlmro Woman's club is planning a series of Sunday afternoon concerts at the Art Institute for the benefit of those who cannot pay the prices charged during the season by the highclass orchestras. It is proposed to fix the admission fee at 10 cents and to provide the best kinds of good music, . . . . . . . i Well mterpretea, or tne meioawu uu stimulating order. The idea is in every way commend able, although it is fair to recognize that the quality of Chicago's summer music at the various private parks and gardens has Improved remarkably in the last few years. There cannot be too much song and bright, cheer ni refroshinsr music in a modern city. Drinking Fountains. ' From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It's good for the publio to have plen ty'of water to drink. Arid yet, in spite of the spreading of the fresh water gospel, it has been hard for the general public to get it. down town. There hag been a notable lack of drinking places. The director of public service proposes to supply the lack with system of continuous spray fountains on all the main thoroughfares leading from the public square. There may be as many as 100 such fountains in all This is an excellent plan and cannot be put into operation too soon. There will then be plenty of opportunities for the busy men and women to quench their thirst. The fountain will be sanitary and the water, though possibly not iced, will nevertheless be cool enough to be palatable, for it will flow continually from the big mains. Cheer Up, Mr. President! From the Philadelphia Tress. Presidents, like other men, have their periods of depression. President Taft passing through one now. He has had his discouraging experiences and irritating opposition, but he should not be depressed by either. He has the most difficult of all tasks. It, 1s easy to agitate. It is difficult to legislate. Abuses are readily exposed. Their reform calls for higher powers. The crowd can always shout over an appeal to their emotions, denouncing known evils. Few can understand the slow steps by which these evils can be remedied. TWMKLhs (By Philander Johnson) Sporting Comparisons. "That pugilist has a tremendous reach."

RED BLOOD, GREED AND SLOTH The whole System is an alliance of law breakers against ) the sources, agents, and penalties or the law. It is the alliance of a "plunder bund" a compact among thieves and criminals, rich and poor, for the subversion of law and the I , .- protection of illegal profit. "Even though I had never succeeded in doing anything to check this system, to oppose this corruption, I should still be content that I fought it. For such a defense of liberty it Is a privilege to fight. It is an honor to be defeated , -in it. It is a happiness to succeed, however obscurely, in the smallest struggle for It." Judge Lindsey. i

' The concluding words of Judge Lindsey's "Beast and the Jungle" are among the most inspiring things of this day and generation. In that awful picture of Colorado in which there, move back and forth the puppets of corporations, pulled by the unseen hands of Greed, there is the sad reflection that these same things are true in greater or lesser degree of every community. Bui there Is a joyful, hopeful side of it, also. In every community men are rising up ready for the fight, buckling on the armor of righteousness, for the battle against Greed. The eyes of the people are being opened. s . v The people are learning the lesson that the beginning of good government is in the fundamentals of the party machinery. The ward meeting and the primary are the places where the men must fight and. then they must fight again at the polls at election time. As in every other phase of human existence when Greed makes Its war against the people, it relies on technicalities and precedents to accomplish its ends. Technicalities have crowded' justice out of the courts and so we have the spectacle of a corporation protected by the very law which was created for its punishment. With such spectacles the people are sick. So we often see a man's' name put on a ticket by a henchman, just as a "mere formality,, by precedent" and the people told later that they are bound by that "formality" after the man has broken his trust with them. ' '' So it was in Judge Lindsey's case. "All the usual tricks of the Beast were used against us. Many Democratic and Republican "workers' In going their rounds, whenever they were asked by a voter how to vote for me, replied: 'Oh, that's all right. He's on our ticket, just vote it straight. V. And our workers were kept busy explaining that I was on neither party ticket." Nor was this the only wile of the Beast, for when the official ballot appeared, the ticket was juggled so that the names' were confused as to make it almost impossible for the unwary to vote for Lindsey. That is an example of the thing the people have to fight.

The only way for the men in the ranks to acomplish any thing is for them to go into the primaries and the ward meetings and fight. And there real citizenship red corpuscled, liberty-loving men whose livers are not yellow and whose hearts are not white have another enemy to meet. In order to fight Greed they must contend with Sloth. The dilatory Sloth who sits idly at home moralizing on the proper conduct of affairs, enlarging on the technicality, reciting platitude and precedent, telling how things ought to be done where is he when the time for battle comes? He and his friends are likely at some dinner with Greed, who also does not go into tb.3 ward meetings, but buys his men afterward or sends paid thugs into them while he sits and moralizes wisely with Sloth on not overturning the vested rights of public service corporations. And Sloth listens dreamily to Gr.eed and condemns work of honest men at primaries add ward meetings as disgusting business, unfit for gentlemen and next morning advises his lifelong friend Puff, the corporation attorney, to run for office as "a really representative man who " shall adequately reflect the culture and refinement of this community," What America needs today is not the culture and refinement of enervation, and idleness, but of red blood at work on the real problems that face the people.

: And what of tomorrow? . j . v, . ; We are prone to believe the world is becoming better every day. Many of us are optimistic. We have all rejoiced in the good fight of that good fighter, Theodore Roosevelt and why? Because we knew that this state of affairs could not be made better except by fighting. And that fight we know does not come from Greed. It Is against . Greed. That fight we know does not come from Sloth. It is Sloth that sits dreaming and moralizing in stupor and comfort of having eaten too much of the food of contentment, of adulation, and idleness. The fight comes from ideals or from the feeling of oppression. The man who has red blood will fight either because it is his own cause, or because it is a good cause. He will fight in that his blood is red and his heart free.

Ideals are as perishable as a woman's virtue.. The woman . lolling back in the limousine with' the lap dog may never have overstepped the bounds of propriety yet her heart may be as corrupted as if she had been mired where the lights burn late at night and the mechanical piano is blatant till the dawn. , It is -the next generation that must fight the battle of tomorrow. It is the ideals of young men and young women that will decide whether tomorrow shall be made a holiday followed by bloody riots in the streets. And it is not alone the mere possession of the ideals of Slothit is the Red Blood of Actipn which must put into effect, the ideals of the Blue Flower of Hope, and the Lily of Purity.

Red Blood, Greed and Sloth. v "Heaven help them. Heaven help us all. . We are struggling toward better things, a happier country, a more perfect civilization. We may never arrive, but, whatever the end, the aim is worth the agony. Let us struggle. Let us hope.' - And with Judge Lindsey, let us hope, let us fight, against Greed, in spite of Sloth, with all the fire of Red Blood. 1 '

The jaws of such beasts are so fixed in the sockets that dislocation is impossible. In some instances you cannot, even after the an mal is dead, separate the jaw from the head. This arrangement is evidently designed to enable the beast to bite to the greatest advantage without danger that the chewing apparatus will come loose.

COTTONSEED FLOOR WHEAT SOBSTITOTE Texas Representative Says Wheat Crop Failure Not ' a Big Calamity.

STORY ON CHIEF JUSTICE HOW HE WAS PICKED BY A REPORTER BY PRES. CLEVELAND FOR SUPREME COURT GOSSIP OF THE CAPITAL. (American News Service) (By Sidney Espey) Washington, April 23. "If at any time the wheat crop should fall short, it can be made up by the use of cottonseed flour," said Representative Beall of Texas, in conversation with a party of friends. "What about cottonseed flour? Why our people in Texas now convert cottonseed into a fine flour that produces the most nutritious bread to be had. Not only bread, but cake, as well, can be made of this new flour. There is but slight difference in the taste, while the color of bread baked Js something on the order of rye or graham. It is wholesome and sweet. I received some from Ennis, Texas, tha other day and distributed it among my friends on the floor of the house and they pronounced it good. I did not tell them what it was until after they had eaten it, and then they had a good laugh. "In my judgment, the time is here when cottonseed flour will prove a ri val to wheat flour. The difference in price will give it a boost, and will aid in reducing the cost of living. To give you an idea of what cottonseed Is worth to Texas, last year it brought the state an income of $30,000,000. It hasn't been so many years ago thai farmers threw cottonseed away or fed it to the cattle, but now they realize that it is increasing in value all the time. The process of converting it in to flour is something new. The indi cations are that in a year or two cot ton seed flour will be a staple as much so as wheat." ' Fuller a Dark Horse. ; As Chief Justice Fuller of the United states Supreme Court, disappeared in to the retiring room of the justices a the capitol the other day, a veteran newspaper correspondent remarked that the appointment of the chief jus tice by President Cleveland proved a great surprise to the country, as no on? in a position to know, had mention the name of Mr. Fullen in connection with the office. All the newspaper corre spondents in Washington at that time were trying their best to get a tip, a? to the probable appointee, and th' names of nearly all the prominent law yers in the country and many district judges were mentioned as probable sue cessor to the late Chief Justice Waite. : One correspondent, however, of ; western paper, made the lucky guess and the next day, after Presidep Cleveland made known Chief Justic Fuller's appointment, the correspond ents called on tneir colleague to pre test against his selfishness in not pass ing the "scoop" along. He snrtlinglj said he had "scooped" himself, and then told this story: "The joke is or me. Some years ago I read law in Mr Fuller's office .and, as we were al trying to pk;k a successor to Waite and no one at the White House would drop a hint, I thought it would be compliment to suggest Fuller, littl dreamin gthat the president at that moment had decided to tender him th appointment. But I am glad the an CON KEY'S

pointment has been made, and I feel

that .Fuller will be a worthy successor to the late chief justice.'. What Bannett States. "Just because the rules state that the various -committees of the house shall meet two to three times a week, it docs not follow that the rules are observed, said Representative Bennet, "that will have to be. adopted if the members of the house are to receive consideration by committees. I For Instance, a mem ber introduces a bill of a national or local character, and it is referred to a leadin committee of the house. Thv author of ihe bill or resolution, may have some important data touching the measure which he is anxious to present to the committee, but without the ap proval of the chairman he cannot bo heard. The members of the committee, although they may favor a bearing for the member whose measure is pending before the committee, are, nowerless to act, for no. meeting can be bad unless called by the chairman. Thus, you see, that many bills and resolutions of national interest are never heard ot after their reference to a committee. This system is an injus tice to the house; it is out of date, and should be corrected. I have a resolu tion before the rules committee which, if adopted, will correct and destroy this ; autocratic ower exercised by chair- i men f committees. Under my resolution chairmen of committees must give bearings to members on bills pending i before the committee, and if such heal ings are refused it becomes a privi- s leged matter for such members to ask j the house to discharge the committee from further consideration of the measure. This, in my opinion, is in keeping with progress, and I am satis fied the house will take this view of it." The Bennett amendment to the rules suggested, is regarded favorably by all the insurgents. They think it is most important in that it eliminates soma of the power of the speaker by curtailing the influence of committee chairmen. An Oleomargerine War. "Efforts to repeal the tax on oleomargarine brings to mind the fight between the dairy interests and the man ufacturers of oleo, 'said an old em ployee of the bouse. "There are now pending before the house committees on agriculture, 'he continued, "several bills to repeal the tax and to amend the law, but it is doubtful if any action will be taken at this session. If a member of the house ,save the speaker and General Bingham, of Pennsylvania, were asked to tell the name of the author of the oleomargarine law, I doubt if a dozen could be found who could gove the information. The author of, the oleomargarine bill was Representative Hatch, of Missouri. He was chairman of the committer of agriculture in the 40th congress, and drew the bill placing the tax on oleo. As reported from the committee, the bill made the tax 10 cents a pound, but as It passed the house the tax was reduced to 2 cents a pound., C : "The credit for this reduction, it ia said, belongs to 'Private John Allen of Mississippi. It marked Mr. Allen's advent into congress and he made a hit as a speaker, at the start. In his speech on the oleo bill Representative 411en said, he did not believe in protection as a principle, but he was opposed

to a fraud on the cow. and he believed In protecting the animal; he would vote for the bill if the tax was made 3 cents instead of JO cents a pound. "In lookln gover the record- of that vote the fact is revealed that It was supported almost solidly by the republicans, while nearly all the democrats voted against it. It will be interesting to know how the two parties will lino up if the question of repeal of the tax comes before the house at this session.
