RIGHT TO KILL DISEASED CATTLE Owners of cattle in applying to the courts in Chicago for an injunction to restrain the federal inspectors from carrying out the order of Secretary , Huston to kill >:>4 tine cattle infected with the hoof and mouth disease ut the Chicago Dairy Show, have taken a decisive step in opposing the quaran- 1 tine precautions that are being taken, not only by the federai but also by state governments, to pre- M-r\e the health of beef and other animals. This wstep indicates that the owners of beef may be plan- ; thug a widespread protest against the killing of infected cattle. Doubtless t hose beef owners who are opposing 1 the necessary safeguards to the health of the ani- ! luals. which amount directly to safeguards to the ' public health, will advance arguments which on the fa i' of them will appeal to many persons as strong ones why the animals should not be killed. It is likely they will appeal to the public pocketbook, j point to tiie fact that meat prices arc very high. , that the European war is likely to make them j higher and that the killing of great numbers of cattle through quarantine precautions will reduce by that much the available food supply and tend to force the cost of meats even higher. While arguments of that type may appeal with force to the food consumer who is struggling under the high cost of living, the methods that the federal and state officials have been taking to suppress the disease should meet with the approval of all fair minded citizens and such citizens should lend their moral support to the public officials in this work. The killing of the diseased animals to prevent the further spread of the disease is the only effective means of accomplishing the very necessary end at which the authorities aim and it must go on regard less of opposition of onttle owners. It is gratifying to the people- of Pennsylvania | thi:t Hie State Veterinarian Board is taking so ag- j gressive a stand to wipe out the cattle disease in | this state, lhat board should be sustained in the work it is doing. It is exceedingly unfortunate > that the plague among cattle should have appeared ' at this time wheu scarcity or alleged scarcity of meat is making the cost so high to consumers, but the authorities are only to be commended for adopt ing the measures that they are adopting in this ' and other states for suppressing a disease the rav- . ages of which ultima a tely would reduce the supply j jf meat to a far greater extent than the killing of diseased animals is now doing. It may be remarked in passing that it is just to he beef owners in Pennsylvania that the State re munerates them for all cattle killed. A WAR THAT SAVES LIVES An army of medical men of the United States government is righting the plague in the Philip pines. winning victories which are really glorious. There has been no defeat in that warfare except for . the forces of disease, desolation and death. The battles have resulted not in the rilling of hospitals, but in the Emptying of them; not in the loss of human life, but in the preservation of it. A worthy j warfare! The medical officers in Manila recently fought an outbreak of cholera backward and backward until they had stormed its sources and at those sources they did their most effective work. They might merely have taken sanitary precautions, : tacked up signs and made out reports to headquar ters, but what they did do was to start active investigations and begin making discoveries. N\ hat the physicians found of particular impor- j FTARRISBI7RG -IND E PEN DEN T. TUESDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 10. 1914. I tsnce was that many altogether healthy persons ! were spreading gerins of the dreaded disease. It has long been known that persons who have never had typhoid fever and are in good health in every respect, have carried the fever to other persons, and the medical officers have now found that the germs of cholera can be transmitted in the same way by persons who are in perfect health. Great difficulty has been experienced in bringing the carriers to light. Thorough examinations of individuals have been made in the Philippines and of tive thousand persons on whom tests have been made 1(15 have been found to be carriers of cholera, likely to communicate to others unknowingly the germs which they had concealed. Carriers of the disease are retained by the officers in all cases until a serum can be injected which quickly disposes of the germs. The great work of our government's scientists and physicians in freeing the regular army of typhoid fever. Cuba of yellow fever and the Canal Zone of all sorts of fever, is still fresh in the minds of persons who are interested in such work ami have followed it whjle in progress. Persons who have not been concerned about the advance of med ical science and have not been appreciative of its accomplishments would do well to divert their at tention occasionally from the works of destruction in Europe to the works of preservation such as are at present under way in the Philippines. There is great satisfaction to be had from the fact that lives are being saved on the one little spot on the other half of the globe over which the Star Spangled Banner waves. It s a poor pun and we admit it. but perhaps "Uncle .Ice" Cannon's last name is what elected him in these war times. Nature often comes to the rescue. The rain put out the forest fires and cold weather may banish the foot aud mouth disease. 1 hev probably will not arrest the elusive fugitive baudit. Hohl, for not having a Pennsylvania license tag ou his automobile. The persons who are picking Governor-elect Brum baugh s cabinet lor him are almost as numerous as those who voted for him iast Tuesdav. "I ucle ,loe" predicts Republican success in 1916.

DODGING THE BEATEN PATH Congressman Robert L. Dougherty, of North Carolina, smiled when the conversation turned to reversing the order of things. He said he was reminded of the case of Bowers. Bowers met a benevolent party on a railroad train one day, and as the acquaintance ripened a bit he began to spread before the other the history of his life. "When I was a clerk in a grocery store," remarked Bo* ers, among other things, "I received only $9 a week, and, like many other young men, I fell in with bad companions and began to gamble. I "I see," interrupted the benevolent party, sadly, "you were tempted and took mouey which did not belong to you." "Oh. no," cheerily responded Bowers. "In less than a month I won enough mouey to buy the grocery."—Phila l delpbia Telegraph. j IT ongue-End Topics | Applause in the Tabernacle Professor Spooner, who runs the singing end of the Stough meetings, is a good-looking, good natured chap, and he certaiuly does like to get results when ho starts after a thing. On Suu day afternoon, when the big audience of men was crowded into the talier ; nacle, Spooner called on the choir and I orchestra to render a very beautiful i hymn, which was given with a vim that i was inspiring. Not a particle of ap plause followed. Spooner looked out I over the audience and said sarcastic ! ally: "Well, don't'you like that? You don't seem to appreciate tlyit. Not a i bit of applause, me tell you that | appreciative applause is all that these people get for their efforts. Now, let's I hear what you can do in that direc tion. * . * Almost Raised the Roof About half of the audience applaud | ed. and Spooner looked disgusted. '"What's the matter with you fel ! lows? You sit there like a lot of lum ber-jacks with splinters in your fingers —afraid to clap your hands. We'll sing that third verse, and if you don't do better, there will not be any more singing.'' Then the third verse was given and the entire audience gave such applause as almost raised the roof. '"That's something like it.'' said Spouer. his face beaming with pleasure. Later on he asked the entire audience to join in singing that grand old song, "Beautiful City of Zion," and the way they sang it made the ministers on the platform shout "Amen!" with a vim. "That's pretty good," said Spoon er. "Some of you fellows haven't heard that song since you heard your good old mothers sing it. Your memories are waking up. Now. 1 'm going to ask you ;o join in the chorus of another song 'He Loves Me.' It is to the tune of 'Old Black Joe,' and you all know it. Every fellow join in." And every fellow did join in, making the welkin ring, for every fellow know the tune, even if he had to supply his own words. Ten Thousand Mouths Whistle "That's pretty good." said Spooner. "1 knew you could do it. Now, lei's all whistle the song and chorus —choir, audience and orchestra. Those musici ans who are piaying flutes or horns needn't whistle." and he laughed at his own joke: "everybody, now. whistle. Let 'er go!" And ten thousand mouths were puck ered up and the beautiful Stephen 0. Foster melody was rendered as never before in HairUburg. Spooner enjoyed it to the end, joining in the whistling and waving his arms to keep the time, and when they had fiuished, a new idea struck him. "Kven the ladies joined in that," he; exclaimed, and then, suddenly, "mebbej you think these ladies can 't pucker up and whistle. We 'll show you. Now, ladies, let's whistle the chorus, and all of you men keep quiet and give the la-1 dies a chance. All together now." And there floated through tlic big room a concord of sweet sound that was entrancing. It was the ladies whistling "Ol i Joe. And the men didn't forget to ap plaud, ioud and long. • • • Rehearsing in Public "Why is it," asked the man. "that actors are continually doing something in public to attract attention? I can't understand it. The other evening I was sitting in a cafe enjoying my din ner. and at the table adjoining were a party of theatrical people, evidently the star aud the staress. They were discussing a play they were to take part in that evening, and they were doing it so loudly as to attract the attention of everybody in the room. In fact we knew the entire play before thev had finished their public rehearsal. The star was conveying to the staress his idea of the stage business that should ac company the dialogue and his gestures were wild and emphatic, while his re marks were such as afforded amusement to those who beard. Here is one of the things that happened. 'Now,' said the star, 'when I come down the stage and look ovah me shouldah and say 'Bah!' ' just like that, you will look surprised and take three steps around the table, and say in your most distressing voiee 'You greet me with Bah! How could you?" Say it slowly, oh, so very slowly, and I bow my head in mv hands, just like this, and he bowed. And that was the way it went until the imaginary curtain went down. I tell you, it was most edifying, but why do they do it in a public cafe unless to advertise .themselves?" Army Buries General Chaffee Washington, Nov. 10.—The body of Lieutenant General Adna R.
