The Tuberculin Test.' In an interview published in the Palladium Saturday evening, Mayor Bobbins expresses fears lest the tuberculin test of dairy herds, one of the provisions of the proposed new dairy ordinance, cannot be enforced. He has been told there are means whereby the tests can be defeated by dishonest dairymen. In reply to this, it is only necessary to say the test has been found practicable where tried. Fort Wayne is enforcing its ordinance, Chicago finds it feasible, Los Ancreles, Fort Worth and many

vacation which he would spend in eternity." To

the surprise of everybody, he died as he himself had foretold. It was because of the frequency of these strange occurrences that a group of English scholars about a quarter of a century ago organized the Royal Society for Physical Research, an organization which probes the stories to the bottom and gives no countenance to any except those that stand the test. Multitudes, it goes without .saying, have been found hallucinations or mere vagaries of the imagination but numerous others have been proved absolutely bonafide. What shall we say about such estrange happenings? The scientists themselves are divided in opinion, some, such as Sir Oliver Lodge, going over to the spiritism; others, like the late William James, refusing to accept spiritism, yet recognizing the presence of powers within the soul not used in ordinary life. Whatever view one takes, he must agree that these phenomena upset many current theories about ourselves and the universe in which we live. They bring forcibly to our minds once more that there is still in the world more than there is dreamed of in our philosophy. And they lead us to believe we may be almost on the verge of psychial discoveries which will characterize the twentieth century as the great discoveries in the physical realms characterized

etc., which are always in danger of infection. The result has been, according to federal reports, that a few years' experience with the test has brought all dairymen to look upon it with favor. A large percentage of deaths and of illness among children has been proved traceable to tuberculosis lesions. The only satisfactory method now in use for detecting the infected members of a dairy herd is the tuberculin test. After having been used in hundreds of thousands of cases, it has been found ninety-seven to ninety-eight per cent efficient. It has been successfully used in hundreds of cities in Europe and America and is coming to be demanded by dairymen and stock breeders everywhere because they are annually losing millions from tuberculosis. The mothers and fathers of Richmond are demanding this protection for their children. They believe it to be better that a dairyman lose an average of three cows out of a hundred until the tuberculosis is eradicated than that they should lose their babies. The most thorough investigations, after twenty-three years of experience, have convinced federal and state authorities that the tuberculin test is a necessity and practical in every way and they have given it their unqualified endorsement. There is no reason why Richmond people should not benefit by the protection of this great scientific discovery.

"The best that any honest and fair person, Radical or Tory, may expect of journalism In the mass, la that It ahall give both sides a fair hearing.. So ahall we have free discussion, which Is the only road by which democracy may travel to Its destiny." Will Irwin, In Harper's Weekly. The Associated Press, rated one of the largest news gathering and disseminating associations in the world, is made the subject of a treatise by will Irwin, an accomplished publicist, in a recent issue of Harper's Weekly. The same organization was recently attacked by . William Dudley Poulke, of this city. Irwin dilates illuminatingly on the problem of modern journalism, and bespeaks with clear tone the sentiments of men who have devoted years to an unprejudiced presentation of news to their readers. His exposition of what intrinsically constitutes the power of a newspaper strikes the keynote of modern Journalistic endeavor. News Should be Truth. "To begin at the very basis of the matter," he argues, "in news, not in editorial opinion, lies the real power of the press today. Give any earnest and Bincere journalist two columns a day for a campaign, and he cares not what the editorial page may say. Now news is, or should be, truth; and truth has no absolute standard of values." Referring to the charges that have been made against the Associated Press, that it colors its news, that it does not present the actual fact as it really is, but as this organization wants it to be read, Irwin says: "The country has been feeling recently that there is something wrong with the Associated Press. At this moment we find it attacked from -three sides at once.. The Sun Press Bureau, a rival, is urging Washington to proceed against it as a combination in restraint of trade. William R. Hearst is objecting to a ruling whereby his San Francisco newspaper is forbidden to publish Associated Press news in its Oakland edition. Finally a group of radicals and Socialists in New York are preparing a defense for Max Eastman and Art Young of the Masses, arrested and indicted at the instigation of the Associated Press for criminal libel. Eastman and Young charged that there is 'taint' in the great American news bureau." Basis of Power." Tracing the growth of a modern newspaper from obscurity to affluence and power, Irwin shows that an unflinching determination to print the news as it really happens, irrespective of editorial opinion or bias, is the day spring of success.. On this basis have grown the influential newspapers that are pqwers in their communities. As circulation grows, advertising is sure to follow. "The value of a newspaper as an advertising medium is in direct ratio to the confidence which it inspires in its readers. Business obeys eventually the law of self-interest." If a journalist permits the advertising growth of hip business to interfere with his depicting of news, if the advertiser's threat, open or veiled, insisting or insinuating that the newspaper take a certain stand on a question be reflected in the handling of news values, the journalist has forfeited his claim to decent journalism. Objection to Press. "Anything which keeps the young man out of directing journalism," Irwin continues, "is an injustice to the people in general, and a public danger. And that is the real quarrel of the American people with the Associated press. It stands at the gate of journalism barring the new man." Irwin argues that the Associated

Press with the franchise rights old members hold. Is able to keep young men out of the association, for by right of protest newspapers holding an Associated Press franchise may prevent the granting of a new franchise in their territory. To promote the association In early days, money was necessary. In return for bonds which were granted, forty-one metropplitan papers hold that many votes in perpetuity, while new members hold only one. This gives the old crowd perpetual control. Attitude of Reporters, Dialating on the ease with which Associated Press reporters drift into seeing only news that will not injure the big interests, Irwin says: 4A movement in stocks is to him news big news. Widespread industrial misery in - a mining camp Is scarcely news at all. The flare and action at a strike In Paterson is news. The weight of vested power crushing down the unions after the strike is not news. A California hop-pickers strike, with murder on the side, is news. The trial which follows, with

its illumination of the methods of

Tory Interests, when they have their own way, is not news." "The agents of this dominant bureau, owing to their point of view, select from the events of the day such news as squares with the conservative picture of our work; and their organization hinders or prevents the rise of publishers who might present the other side. And, including though it does a few newspapers of most radical tendencies, the Associated Press is, in bulk, a powerful force of reaction."

An old box containing one hundred and eighty wishbones from almost every conceiable fowl native to New York state was found recently in a house which was being torn down in Cobleskill, N. J. The house was once occupied by Isaac van Wormer, an old time huter and trapper, who probably collected the specimens.
