THE GREAT PERIL.
There has been a depressing calm
i off the Atlantic coast since last Sunday
1 —depressing, because it is not known
where the U-53 has wandered, for she
■ may be lurking on the ocean lanes, or
returned to some convenient base, only
awaiting some course of time to send
her death-dealing work.
Unhonored and unsung, the U-53 in
the command of her brave young cap
tain, Hans Rose, came into Newport, R.
I, a short while after noon Saturday,
and after cordially receiving a number
of people, she departed as quickly as
she came. The news managed to edge
itself in among the score by innings
of the first game of the world series
last Saturday, and with all America
intent on the series, the U-53 in her
stroke of ocean-paralysis took the
i front pages.
It seems that her operations were
legal; within the bounds of interna
tional law, so far as has yet been an
nounced. That, in away, keeps the
skirts of America cleared for awhile.
But, should the operations of that and
other u-boats continue within hear
inf distance of the Atlantic seaboard, it
opens a serious problem which has
very darkening results as its impend
ing outcome.
America cannot afford to take too
much. She has already been severely
lambasted at times, but somehow or
other managed to regain her feet—and
came up smiling, with a “beg your
pardon.” That is all right as long as
other qualities beget supremacy, but
we need to read firmly and steady,
without a waver—and be prepared to
back what we say, and say seme
thing.
DR. P. F. BA HA SEN.
The press of Georgia has had many
kind things to say concerning Dr. Pe
ter F. Bahnsen, of this county, and
much in praise of his w’ork connected
with tick eradication. The following
editorial is from the Macon Telegraph:
That Peter Bahnsen cannot be re
moved from the office of state veter
inarian merely because J. J. Brown
happened to beat J. D. Price for com
missioner of agriculture, is a matter
upon which Georgia may congratulate
herself. It means the necessary work
of eradicating the cattle tick will go
on in the state as usual, despite the
Watsonspurred efforts to allow the
careless and ignorant farmer to let
the ticks eat up his own cattle and en
danger those of his neighbors. While
J. J. Brown, it is understood, stands
for tick eradication, even to compul
sory dipping, as a speech in the Tenth
district during the campaign would
seem to indicate, it is almost certain
that as a sop to Watson, his guide,
philosopher-friend and voice at his
elbow; he would have removed Bahn
sen from office, because Watson some
time since took one of his erratic and
unexplainable dislikes to Bahnsen.
Maybe it was he just doesn’t like the
doctor’s name, which would be suffi
cient cause for Watson to urge his re
moval.
At any rate Bahnsen his his job and
the state has a competent man on the
. job. A good many people don't like
him, but then that seems mostly per
sonal, and. besides, he hasn't a job that
makes for working up any great per
sonal popularity for the holder of it.
A man who is charged with such things
as livestock quarantine, compulsory
dipping and other severe treatments
. for disease in stock barns may be
, greatly respected, but he isn't going to
be liked. He has done his work well
as far as can humanly be known. A
1 despicable fight has been made on him
, and now he is found to be immune
from removal as long as he does his
work it is to be hoped he will stick
, right on the job—at least until the cat
tle tick is done for in
