LOUP CITY, - • NEBRASKA.
The Vulgarity of Waste.
When you see a housewife who
keeps bread lying around until it
molds; who permits mildew to get into
the clothes; who allows her stockings
and those of her family to fall to
pieces for want of darning; who cooks
up a lot of food which she ought to
know will not be eaten and that will
be cast into the garbage can; who
"thrashes through” her best frocks by
putting them on to do kitchen work,'
you may be sure she is “tacky.” You
will never find a woman of that de
scription who is not cheap and who
hasn’t a common streak in her as wide
as a gate. Well, it is exactly the same
with a people or a nation, says the
Kansas City Star. When you see a
country reckless in the use of its re
sources and heedlessly destructive of
the treasures with which it has been
endowed by nature, you can depend
upon it that it possesses the ingredi
ents of cheapness and inferiority. We
laugh a great deal about the proverbial
disregard of the future commonly wit
nessed in our “colored brother” as
long as he has a dollar in his pocket.
But what essential difference is there
between the complacency of the “Sene
gambian” with the price of a meal and
a lodging ahead, and the blind indif
ference of a country and its people
that go ahead despoiling timber lands,
consuming coal with heedless extrava
gance, permitting vast quantities of
gas and oil to get away, and taking no
care whatever to make provision for
any reinforcement of the supplies
which it consumes. So. while the con-,
gress of conservation at Washington
is in mind, let us not forget that the
wastefulness habitually practiced by
the American people is not only wick
ed and hopelessly stupid, but that it
is likewise cheap and “tacky” and re
veals not one trace of sane judgment
or proper breeding.
Canada After Settlers.
The Canadian Dominion has not yet
found it necessary to begin the con
servation of resources, though the
time may come sooner than is antici
pated. Just now the principal effort
appears to be to attract settlers and to
open up regions which the railroad
companies are desirous of having de
veloped. The announcement comes
from Vancouver that the government
of British Columbia is planning to sell
vast tracts of land, having decided to
dispose of $5,000,000 or $6,000,000
worth this year. In the operations
the government will have the active
aid of one of the big railroad concerns
An American has been engaged to
manage the deal, says the Troy (N.
Y.) Times, and part of the project con
sists of laying out a model city, with
paved streets, sewers, water system
and other conveniences. Another
feature of the plan will be the employ
ment of a landscape gardener to ar
range surroundings that will be ornate
and attractive. All this is done with
a view to making settlers feel at home
and providing them with advantages
such are are seldom found in a fron
tier region. The contrast with the ex
periences of the earlier pioneers in the
United States and Canada is impres
sive.
Automobiles have ruined so many
macadamized roads that an interna
tional congress has been called to
meet in Paris on October 11 to con
sider plans for saving the roads. The
macadam road, as everyone knows, is
composed of layers of crushed stone
held together by a binding material
rolled into the surface. This method
of paving was devised for the use of
iron-tired vehicles. As the iron-bound
wheels roll over the road they crush
the small stones, and the dust sifts
into the crevices between the larger
®tones and binds them more tightly
together. With judicious use, such a
road improves with age. The automo
bile, however, runs on an air-filled rub
ber tire. This tire, instead of crushing
the small stones, sucks the dust out
from between the large stones, and the
wind blows it away, leaving the road
bed rough and uneven. Road experts
on both sides of the ocean have been
seeking for some surface dressing
that will seal the road when once
made so tightly that the rubber tire
cannot draw out the binder by suc
tion. Oils with asphaltic bases, coal
tar preparations and calcium chlorid
have been used with some success in
allaying the dust and preventing the
wear of the roads, but they are not
■wholly satisfactory either here or in
Europe.
Getting right down to a final analy
sis, one of the most successful navi
gators of the day is he who can paddle
a canoe with a nervous woman of 150
pounds or upward as a passenger and
land the cargo safely.
Altogether during the year 1908
there will have been under construc
tion buildings directly or indirectly
connected with Princeton university
representing an expenditure of nearly
12,000,000.

HEAD OF PHYSIGIHNS
COL.WILLIAM GORGAS,CLEANSER
OF PANAMA ZONE, HONORED.
New President of American Medical
Association Has Attained an In- „
ternational Reputation Among
the Scientists.
Chicago.—Col. William C. Gorgas
whose work as chief sanitary officer of
the Panama canal zone and previous
work of like nature have been recog
nized by the medical profession in his
election to the presidency of the
j American Medical association, has at
tained an international reputation
among scientists. He is generally
given credit for the measures that
freed Havana of yellow fever and made
the canal zone, once considered one
of the deadliest spots in the world, as
healthful as Illinois or Vermont.
Col. Gorgas is a native of the south.
He was born in Mobile, Ala., October
3, 1854. His father was a leader in the
confederate army—Gen. Josiah Gorgas.
At the age of 21 Col. Gorgas was grad
uated from the University of the
South, Sewanee, Tenn. He finished
his professional course four years
later at Bellevue hospital medical col
lege, New York city, and became a
member of the house staff of the hos
pital. After a few months of this
work he entered the army service.
His first appointment was as a lieuten
ant of the medical corps, in 1880. He
was sent to Fort Brown, Texas, where
he was the victim of an attack of yel
low fever. Misfortunes have been the
making of many men, and in the case
of Col. Gorgas personal experience
with the dread disease gave him an in
terest in it that was destined to bear
important results for the good of the
world.
One year after the appointment of
Lieut. Gorgas to the army service. Dr.
Carlos Finlay, a practicing physician
in Havana, first brought to the notice
of the world the theory that mos

quitoes caused the spread of yellow
fever. Maj. Ronald Ross of the Brit
ish-India medical service also discov
ered that malaria was also carried
from one person to another by the bite
of the anopheles mosquito, and scien
tists began to awaken to the impor
tance of systematic and thorough in
vestigation on this subject. Col.
Gorgas made such an investigation in
Cuba.
Mosquitoes, according to the army
investigations, do not originate the
germs of either yellow fever or mala
ria. but carry both, after biting human
beings. The stegomy'ia insects are na
tives of India and the Philippines, but
the yellow fever organism has never
been taken into those countries, hence
the mosquitoes are not dangerous to
life or health there.
For his work in Havana Maj. Gorgas
was promoted to colonel by special act
of congress in 1903. He was sent to
the Panama zone as chief sanitary of
ficer, and March 4. 1907, was made a
member of the isthmian canal commis
sion. At Panama he proceeded to
“clean up" and to prevent the devel
opment of disease by fighting the mos
quitoes.
“We fought the yellow fever mos
quito with chemicals and screens, de
stroyed the breeding places of the ma
laria mosquito, drove him back sev
eral hundred yards from our camps
and villages, put wire netting into the
houses and advised everyone to take
three grains of quinirte daily,’’ said
Col. Gorgas last October. “I think I
am justified in saying that we have
malaria under control. Our death
rate among Americans last year was
less than four persons in 1,000, and we
have 4,800 men and 1,200 women and
children along the zone from Panama
City to Colon.”
Describing the general measures for
sanitation along the Panama zone, Col.
Gorgas said:
“We found a strip of country ten
miles wide and 4G miles long, with a
considerable settlement at each end
and almost 25 hamlets between. We
followed the methods which had rid
Havana of yellow' fever, a scourge that
had been epidemic for 150 years. We
stopped the fever in 16 months.
“In the city of Panama alone, where
each house was fumigated three
times, we burned 100 tons of pyre
thrum. 200 tons of sulphur and large
quantities of other disinfectants. Four
hundred men were engaged in the
work. Ninety-eight per cent, of the
West India negroes, who came to dig
the canal, had malaria, and the para
site was found in the blood of 70 per
cent, of those persons whom we exam

neither pose as a martyr,

his petty peculations were
laughed at, and he found
himself in the street, an
object of contempt and
jeers. But when a man
had gotten away with
forty or fifty thousand dol
lars, it was an entirely
different proposition. He
could then put up a good,
stiff "bluff.'’ In the first
place, it was “up to him”
to pooh-pooh all rumors or
assertions which had been
made against his office.
Next, to explain that all

"Well, it s a new deal. No side issues for me.
Just the little old four thou. That's all.”
"Why, you ain't honest, are you, Jack?"
“Well, I never had ‘Honest John" tacked onto

"Hut those fellows are alive and well today, and

"Yes, maybe; but it would be just my luck to

“You're foolish, Jack.”
“A regular lobster, Billy; but when I'm let out

one to ring the door-bell and ask ‘how about it?’”
The foregoing conversation is verbally a correct
transcript between an appointee to a city office and
a political acquaintance, the well-known and almost
‘disbarred” attorney, the Hon. William “Skiphis
name.” It occurred just as written down, and is
merely given to illustrate the general idea prev
alent among the crooked, the crafty and the un
scrupulous that public office was a private “snap.”
The salary was supposed to be merely expense
money for being in the political game; the real
"money” was to be gotten out of “side deals,”
schemes where the official was to use his influence
and his opportunities to get into “something good,”
whereby for favors either directly or indirectly
granted he got what is known sometimes as his
“rake-off,” or his “bit.”
If he was in a position where contracts were to
be let “to the lowest bidder" it was his business,
if a “grafter," to see that his “man” was the low
est bidder, or to have a “combination” among the
bidders so that the contracts would be divided
among two or three favored firms or individuals;
or to work in some one as sub-contractor, or in
various ways "get a finger in the pie,” so that he
could “holp up” somebody for “a divvy.” Where
individual officials had the entire control of their
offices, their opportunities for “graft” were, of
course, extensive; where officials were co-associated
in city work, there had to be either a complete and
general understanding as to "crooked work,” or
there might be underhand work by one or two
men which was hidden from the rest.
The public had weird and unique ideas about
“graft.” The fact that “grafting” was carried on
in city hall and city departments to a greater or
less extent during every political administration
was a fact that was undeniable. Sometimes an ad
ministration was especially corjupt; sometimes the
administration was headed by a man who was even
by his bitterest enemies acknowledged to be strict
ly honest. But as no one man could oversee the
ins and cuts of every department in the city, there
was bound to be some “grafting,” however petty,
somewhere in the various offices or departments.
Hut the public generally seemed to be of the opin
ion that the instant a man was appointed or elect
ed to office his entire nature changed. The people
imagined, apparently, that a business man whose
integrity, through many years, had never been
questioned became “crooked" the instant he took
the oath of office. And because of this, the most
insulting and libelous statements were being ban
died back and forth by irresponsible parties, con
cerning men who were honestly and conscientiously
doing their duty in public offices.
Citizens who appropriated without any legal right
the sidewalks in front of their stores for shipping
purposes—men who would follow an alderman for
weeks in order to get a bay-window put in a down
town shop contrary to the ordinances, people who
hung about the city hall from dawn to twilight try
ing to get a railroad pass, would enter a public
office with the air of Daniel going down the eleva
tor into the lions' den. And if a question was asked
them when they stated their business, they always
imagined it had a hint of graft in it. Well, now,
let me tell you: These folks that are always scent
ing “graft" in every public office and officer—these
“Holy Willies” that assume such an “unco guld”
air, they are often the people that will bear watch
ing themselves.
The fact of the' matter was that that real “graft”
was handled by men who worked it so that nearly
always it was entirely legal, in the strict letter
of the law. A measley five or ten-dollar bill handed
here and there for some favor was a mere bagatelle.
And as for "graft" in politics, the legislatures of the
various states are as mighty universities to kin
dergartens compared to city administrations. As
for the United States senate—but that is the "king
row” on the political checker board, and not a mat
ter for comment in this article.
Money is the cheapest and least dangerous form
of “graft.” 1 mean money that buys favors; bribes,
in a word. Dig “graft” concerns itself with “shares,”
“stock,” “interests”—things that cannot be traced
so easily to corrupt sources. Big grafters are afraid
of cold cash. They want something that can be
IS HAUNTED BY GIRL’S GHOST
Spectral Form That Inhabits Old Forts
at Southwick.
Southwlck, the pretty little seaside
resort a few miies from Brighton, Eng
land, ha3 found out that It has a
ghost, and efforts are being made by
the Inhabitants to discover its iden
tity.
The story of the discovery is told
by a correspondent of the Hove Ga
zette, who states that one evening re
cently he visited the disused forts at
Southwlck in company with a friend.
"We walked ’round the moat,’’ he
continues, “and were looking through
one of the narrow windows into a
small room, whose wall3 used to echo
with the songs and laughter of the
soldiers stationed there, when sudden
ly (it was about 9:45 p. m., and dark
ness was just setting in) we saw a
tall white form attired in a white
sheet.
“It was horribly ghastly and grim.
It seemed to come from the far end of
the room and slowly approach us. I
must say I was dreadfully afraid, and
my young friend, who had just re
marked: "Oh, this would be a capital
spot for a ghost,’ shook all over and
nearly fainted.
“The figure was tall, and Its cover
ing, as far as one could see, was ex
tremely thin.
“An old Southwlck boatman told us
a wonderful yarn about a young sol
dier who had rowed a beautiful maid
en over the bar late one night and had
cruelly murdered her there, and ever
since her spirit had haunted the fort.
"I think there is no doubt that the
peculiar spectral form which we saw
in the room of the old fort was the
spirit of the dead and long-forgotten
maiden.”

manipulated so that the ugly word “mon
ey" can be eliminated in case of an ex
posure. Cash is a hard commodity to “juggle,”
but shares and stocks can be better explained
to a jury. So only the ignorant or most brazen
of the big “grafters" go after the money in the
form of U. S. bank bills. Records are telltales;
.and money taken wrongfully and unaccounted for
often returns to plague the hypothecator with a
penitentiary sentence.
Another thing that seems to be overlooked is
that legislation will not cure "grafting.” True,
it can and does punish the individual; but noth
ing but an aroused spirit of higher citizenship will
effect a general cure of the evil. If you want to
know how many people in your city and county
are out after "something for nothing" get into a
political position which either actually gives you
chances for bestowing favors, or apparently offers
ihe opportunity. Ninety-five per cent, of the peo
ple who call on you come for the purpose of hav
ing you do them some favor, either for them
selves or others; and they are not at all particu
lar about how the favor is done, so that it be
done. For myself, I know I was bombarded day
and night after I got into office with requests that
ranged all the way from the impudent to the ig
norant. Requests to aid in the way of evading
or ignoring city ordinances were matters of daily
occurrence. And the charming thing about it
was that the parties assumed that this was a mat
ter of course in the routine business of the city
hall. It was not merely "what's the constitution
between friends?” but “what's honesty between
acquaintances?”
skate No. 1 would introduce Skate no. <s,
and the latter would unfold a scheme to “pull
off” something in some other department of the
city hall, which was not only against all canons
of decency as regarded common honesty, but so
ridiculously apparent that no one but an ignoram
us would concoct such a plan. Now these things
happened so often that if you got mad at each
occurrence you would be in a state of semi-apo
plexy half the time. The only thing to do was to
cut the interview short by saying “I haven’t any
thing to do with that department, if you have
any business with that end of the city go there
yourself.”
Hut when you come to pin down any great
amount of "graft” in most of the city administra
tions’ offices you failed, from the simple reason
that there was comparatively little of it. Was it
because greater publicity and greater vigilance
was being had through a hostile press and a
watchful opposite party? Or was it because an
improvement was being made in the character of
the men elected and appointed? Or was it both?
At any rate, there was a steady advance for the
better during the cycle of at least eight years of
my experience in politics. Given an able and
vigilant man at the head of a city's affairs, and
"graft" will be reduced to a minimum during his
term of office. Given any other kind of a man,
and once more “graft” will lift its hydra head.
It is a curious thing about manifestation, that the
tendency to make "a little on the side" seems to
be apparent in all administrations, but is either
dormant or active as the man at the helm is
either alert or inattentive. Like yellow fever in
Cuba, it is always present, even if only one case
of it.
The cheap "grafter,” when found out, never had

was the work of political enemies or "a dis
charged employe seeking revenge." A very fine
article of “rosy talk" was usually indulged in by
a "grafter" who "was on the run."
Then, when he was finally indicted, his lawyers
would consent to tell what an outrage it was that
their client should be so persecuted. All criminal
proceedings which seek to bring a "grafter" to
"book" are known by his lawyers as “man-hunts.”
The big "grafter's” friends flock to the court
room, and quite frequently the utmost courtesy
is extended to him by officials high up in jail
circles; especially if he be of the same party as
the jail officials. If he happens to be on the other
side of the political fence, these courtesies are
omitted.
After a big “grafter" is convicted there is the
usual appeal to the higher courts and a lot of
skirmishing to keep him out of the penitentiary,
but he gets there just the same. He may, after
serving a year of his sentence, become so ill
that he will have to be pardoned. If he has re
turned part of the money he stole, this is a chance
not to be overlooked. But if he is “stiff-necked”
and insists on hanging on to what he got, the
chances are not so favorable. Only a ridiculously
small percentage of the big "grafters” have been
punished. Some of the biggest of them ail have
absorbed their graft legally. But it was “graft,”
nevertheless. On many, the statute of limitations
has “run,” and prosecution made impossible. But
it is cheering to relate that “grafting” is not quite
so fashionable as it used to be by reason of these
prosecutions; and much as the “reformer” has
been held up to ridicule, it has been the reformer
and the reform organizations that have made
“grafting.” if not unpopular, at least dangerous.
Petty “grafting" can never be wholly stamped
out, as it can be handed around by means of
presents, privileges, etc., in such a way that it
cannot be traced so as to provide ground for
criminal prosecutions.
The technical term “graft,” while peculiarly
applied to politics, is not confined to that splv-re
only. Business, banking and railroad circles have
the disease. In city administrations the spot
.where it is liable to make most insidious headway
is in city councils. There it may be found either
indirectly or directly apparent. And it is there,
after all, that it is most dangerous, because affect
ing an entire city. If a public official steals from
his office, it is net such a direct injury to the
public man as the man who “sells out” to jam a
franchise through a council.
And so, in the last analysis, the eyes of the re
formers and the citizens should be fixed steadily
on city councils. The best candidates for aider
men are none too good; the salary should be
such that a man could give all of his time to the
work and be well and even handsomely paid. If
the public expects a man to give $5,000 worth
of time in the city council for $3,000 salary, they
ate merely putting a premium on "grafting.”
The day of the brazen “grafter” has gone by.
The new regime is making for better things. The
only way that "grafting” can flourish nowadays
is by having a city administration in full accord
with the most influential newspapers of a city !
apply the "graft” legally, pocket the “rake-off,”
point to the "statutes *n such case made and pro
vided, and so far as the public is concerned, “let
the galled jade wince.”
