DON'T GET FRIGHTENED.

Since certain influences are trying to in
cite typhoid scare, the best advice that
can be given is not to get frightened. Health
Officer Woodward said In published in
ierview last week that insanitary drainage
is not the primary cause of typhoid, al
though it may leave the system in a con-
dition where 1t is liable to contract the
disease, therefore the contagion is not due
to a lack of proper sewage facilities. The
chief sources of typhoid are impure water
and milk, and great care should be exer-
cised in the use OF these two essentials
When milk is given TO children it should
first be sterilized by heating, and ice
should never be placed in water used for
drinking purposes. Drinking water should
be cooled by placing ice in contact with the
vessel in which the water is kept.
One of the causes of danger to health and
inconvenience to the public is our insult
ficent water supply. 1t is expected that
this trouble will be remedied as soon as the
Great Falls improvements can be completed,
when the facilities for furnishing the city
with water will be largely increased. The
next important FACTOR IN the WeHare OF
the city is a good sanitary condition. In
fact an ample water supply and an efficient
drainage system are twin necessities to
the well-being of any community, and in
this respect Washington is not well fa-
vored. Additional sewage facilities are
badly needed and an increased appropriation
from Congress will be required before they
can be had.
On this question great prudence must
govern the demand or the bill asking for
funds will be defeated A bill author
izing the issue Of a large amount of bonds
was defeated in the last Congress, because
it was believed that about half the improve
ments were to be made in the interests OF
spectators That objection should be over

CUBA's HORIZON BRIGHT
TO GET FACTS FROM CUBA
Continued From First Page.

Department that the insurrection is not
worthy of consideration and will soon
be put down by Spain. The Cubans have
no one here to talk for them in an official
capacity, and can only define their posi-
ton through interviews and dispatches.
Such a strict censorship is maintained
over dispatches from Cuba that news un-
favorable to the Spanish cause is sup
pressed; and though the United States
has several consuls in Cuba, they are all
stationed on the coast. and the seat of the
rebellion is inland. Their official position
also makes it improper for them to pry too
closely into the affairs of the country to
which they are accredited.
A skillrul confidential agent would be
able to make such report to the President
and to Mr.. Olney as would make them feel
certain of their ground.
CUBANS MADE HOPEFUL.
The reported intention of the Secretary
has caused much excitement among Cubans
and their sympathiZers here. 1t Is re-
garded as indicative of contemplated ac-
tion in the matter, and while no one
knows for certainty what this will be,
the friends of free Cuba are lead by many
things to believe that it will be in their
favor.
That nothing will be done before Con-
gress meets is now regarded as decided,
but it is believed that the agent will be
sent in order that the Department may
lay before that body when it meets an
exact statement of affairs as they exist.
There are precedents for such action
In 1916, when the acknowledgment Of
the independence of the South American
colonies was under consideration, Presi-
dent Monroe sent three commissioners in
a man-of-war to visit the several colonies,
inquire into the condition of things and
report Subsequently Congress appro-
priated $50, 600 to pay their expenses.
A still more famous case, and one which
led to one of the most vigorous of Webster's
State papers. was the attempt to find out
what were the chances of Hungarian sue
cess in the revolution against Austria
in 1S4S.
President Taylor secretly commissioned
A. Dudley NJ ann to obtain the Information.
with a view of recognizing the independence
of Hungary Mr.. Mann, however, never
reached Hungary as, owing to the interven-
ton of Russia and the treachery of one Of
the Hungarian generals, the crown of Haps-
burg was saved.

Spain to retrieve her lost ground in Cuba
before Congress meets. That body Will
Immediately be asked to recognize the
Cubans as belligerents, and unless 1t can
be shown beyond dispute that their cause
is hopeless, Cuba will be given the moral
support of this country. Spain foresees
this alternative, and TO prevent such dis
astrous blow to her hopes will try to pre-
vent 1t by prosecuting the war with
greater energy. The Cubans, however, are
not soldiers of yesterday or to-day. and
will be wary how they risk baltic with
superior force. They will play waiting
game until our recognition gives them
license to purchase arms without rcsorting
to stealth. and then 1t Will be fight for
independence that will teach the world
lesson in patriotism.

CAN HE BE CONVICTED?

The case of Speakeasy Hall will be
tried to-day in the police court for vio-
latfng the excise law, and while those in
terested in his prosecution are to be con-
graduated it might be well for them to
remember that there are eighty-one speak
easies in the Division which are sellingliquor
absolutely without any restrictions what
ever. The questionthat naturally follows this
reminder is, why Hall should be brought to
trial and possibly heavily fined when so
many offenders are permitted not only
To violate the excise law with impunity,
but are also given police protection?
The excise board has submitted to the
Commissioners several recomme udations
for amendments to the excise law that If
adopted will greatly change the liquor
traffic of the District. The license fee
for barrooms is TO be increased from S40O
to $500, and for wholesale dealers from
$3.50 to S4O0. Social clubs are to be re-
quired to take out n barroom license
and be regulated by the same rules that
govern the sale of liquor by retail dealers,
and it is said that the board expects these
changes will benefit both the public and
the better class of saloon-kecpers.
When these amendments are brought be-
fore Congress, the excise board may be re-
quired to explain why it is that no license
is collected from eighty-one spea akeasies
that unlawfully sell liquor, and why S32,-
400 is in this way allowed 10 be cut off
from the revenues of the District. No
valid reason can be given for this dis
crinlina ton. Liquor purchased in bawdy
house invariably brings higher prices than
that sold in a saloon, and when the greater
harm il does to the bibulant is considered
IL should command, if sold at all, much
higher license fee than that charged saloon
keepers. Especially when it seems TO be
the policy of the excise board to tax
dives out of existence by increasing the
license fee.
when all these circumstances are con.
= sitiered it may puzzle an average jury to
find an excuse for conyicting Hall

For the same reason little dogs bay

success. and any enterprise that succeeds
will incur the ill-will of rivals who have
neither ability nor courage to accomplish
like results. Especially is this true of
Journalism, and a successful newspaper
must win popularity at the expense of
the friendship of local contemporaries.

Figures Tint Lie-How the Star Mis-
represents 10 the Public.
Saturdays Star announced that fts
circulation was many thousands in excess
ofany o other Washington npaperand is believed
to be fully five times that of any afternoon
contemporary" This Justification is easy
to expose.
The daily average circulation of The
Times for the six days on which the Star
bases its calculation was 33, 1867; that
of the Star was 2s, $50. For the sake Of
the argument, let US admit that the Star
has five times The circulation of our even

from 80. .36T, the average of The Times
and 27 ,637 is left 10 represent the cir
culation of our morning edition. Com
pare that amount. with the 2S,65o which
the Star falsely claims, is many thou
sands in excess of any other Washington
paper" and you will see that its figures lie.
The aggregate circulation of the Star last
week was I71,9O1. That of. The Times
was 223,776. The Star gained 1924
in circulation during the week and The
Times added 7,751 to its list.
These figures should be satisfactory
proof as to which is the m,lst popular news
paper, and should also demonstrate to
advertisers where they can obtain best
results.
The Times is in the lead and will stay
there, because it is the best daily in Wash
fngton.

JAMES E.PUGH,s DEATH.


The death of no other man could have
SO deeply, so painfully affected so large
number of people in all classes of Wash
ingtou's population, as does that of James
E. Pugh, secretary of the Young Mems
Christian Association. The announce
mcnt came like a crushing blow to hun
dreds, last night, and the wider publicity
given it this morning, through the columns
of the press Will sadden immune rable
homes
No man stood so closely TO as many
men as did he. During the ten years
of his remarkable activity with and for
the Y. NJ. C. A, thousands had learned
not only to respect and esteem, but to
admire and to love him. He was young
man yet, but his earnestncss, his un-
swerving integrity. his zeal, his eminent
ability for the work i'll which he was en-
gagged. impressed men much older than
he. men of business and affairs, and they
followed with implicit faith where he led.
1t Is impossible to measure the loss which
his deat tn is to the association for which he
labored for the past decade. 1t is even
doubtful If the loss of their building and all
that went with it is of as great moment for
houses can be rebuilt and new libraries can
be bought but men such as he are not easily
replaced. His eminent fitness for the work
in which he was engaged was recognized
by clergynlcn and laymen alike and his
suggestions and advice had the weight that
always attaches to good counsel.
The 6eath of such a man is not felt alone in
the comparatively limited circle of his i'm
mediate labors; it affects the entire COM
munity and there are few homes in the Dis
trict in which James E. Pugh will not be
sincerely mourned.
