Notes From Santiago .

Heavy rains during the last ten days
have been causing much sickness, espe-
Cially among the members Of the signal
service. OF the fifteen men only seven
are available for duty.
People who have lived here a lifetime
are unable to understand tAe extraor-
binary low death rate, averaging for Oc-
tober up to date ten per day. During the
same period last year the deaths aver
aged 1873 per day.
The criminals have been brought here
from all parts of the province and have
been kept in Jail without any work to
do They like it, but General Wood has
determined to alter this system of affairs
and will make them work.
The palace of the civil government is
undergoing considerable repairs, and not
before they were needed The reception
room Is being made particularly attrac-
tive, pictures having been unearthed
from different parts of the building.
The 800 prisoners in Santiago prison
will in future be made to work on build
ing roads for the city. The rock for this
purpose will be hauled over the railroad
from the quarries. 1t will be delivered
at the rate Of 40 cents per ton and the
railroad company has offered to deliver
500 tons Of rock free as its share of the
work Of improving the city.
General Wood is interchangeable He is
here, there and everywhere, and his
friends fear he is overworking himself.
But the result Of his labOrs Is apparent
In every branch OF the service, civil and
military. The general yesterday visited
the hospital and found considerable neg
ligence, with. the result that he made
changes. The patients are reaping the
result in better attendance and improved
food and cooking.

PUBLIC AND GOVERNMENT OWNER
SHIP.

It Is we'll to distinguish that there is
a distinction between public and govern
ment ownership Of public utilities. There
might be government ownership Of ev-
erythlng under the sun, yet il the govern
ment were owned by a few at the ex-
pense Of the many conditions would only
be the more unbearable. True, public
ownership Comprehends public owner
ship of government.
That is why direct legislation is so
important as first step. We are often
appalled, at the revelations Of corrup-
tion in public life in this country, yet
we do not seem to realize that until
this is checked there can be no advance
toward better government. We complain
Of outrageous taxes, but do not stop to
think that public ownership, properly
guarded, would do away with taxation
altogether. The proper guards to erect
are the initiative and referendum and
effective voting

This IL what the Kansas City Times has to
say about the future of the Peoples party:
Any statement that Populist managers
may make will be in the nature Of a post
mOrtem BY analyzing the returns they may
be able to ascertain the cause of the party's
demise, but they can not alter the fact that
the demise has taken place. 1t may be In
teresting to know whether fatty degeration
or chronic exhaustion or a swift kick ended
the career OF fusion in Kansas, but the find
lngs Of the coroner will be valuable only as
an object lesson.
Since fusion Is dead the question of unit
ing under one banner all Of the elements op-
posed to Republlcanlsm is an all-engrossing
one among politicians. The task Of blend
ing together all of the heterogeneous ele-
ments evolved Is not an easy one. 1t can
only be accomplished In platform broad

more radical middle-of-the-road faction Of
the Populist party, for Willets, Steinberger
and the rest reject overtures in advance.
The new alignment must be prepared to
include the thinking, conservative, tolerant
rank and file Of the Populists, Democrats
and silver Republicans of Kansas. The
teachings of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew
Jackson applied to existing conditions can
not be improved upon The new Democracy
will be the first to espouse these issues, and

MIR. STANLEY AND PROHIBITION.

If we are to take Mr. Stanley's ante
election declarations to mean anything,
and it would be unfairly partisan to
judge them any other way, he does not
hesitate to say that prohibition does not
prohibit in Kansas. Now, you need not
be unduly alarmed; we are not going to
charge him with catering to the bum
element" The election is over and he
is entitled to fair field He Is right.
Prohibition does not absolutely prohibit,
but neither does Christianity absolutely
Christianize-in Kansas or anywhere
else. And why?
Mr.. Stanley is a good Methodist. There
are about 100000 other good Methodists
in this good State. They have the power
to see that prohibition is enforced, and
they are emphatically on record as ia
voring prohibition. The eleven hundred
members Of the First Methodist church
OF Topeka in themselves could enforce
the law If they would, but they allow the
drug store saloons to sell beer to little
boys in way that the keeper Of the
open saloon would never do.
It is not the anti-prohibitionists who
are to blame for the non-enforcement
Of the law. They did not put 1t there
1t is the class of people that advocate
prohibition, yet fail to vote consistently
at the polls or even feebly to aid those
who are working for law enforcement
who must he held rasDnnsihla
Mr.. Stanley may be one Of these or he
may not be. A man who has been sU-
perintending a Methodist Sunday school
for twenty-five years has certainly
worked at his job long enough to be able
to instruct the young men in temperance.
If he opposes prohibition he must have
something better. 1t certainly cannot be
license, although he seems to declare In
favor OF license system under prohi-
bition.
He is right, though, about the resub-
mission sentiment. There is a strong
feeling for resubmission in most parts Of
the State. And even so far as the pro-
hibitionists are concerned, there are nu-
merous reasons in favor Of resubmission.
They need good stirring up. There are
a great many voters who never had a
chance of expressing themselves on the
question The State Temperance Union
has matters in the best possible shape
to meet antagonism to prohibition. The
vote of the last election is a very favor
able indication that prohibition would
carry again The great trouble with 1t
is, however, that the Christian people
of the State. who are supposed to be up
holding their pet measure, cannot be re-

miserable, before her foe. After long
wanderings and endless hardships the
prosecuted queen found refuge at the
little Prussian town of Memel, which
escaped the invasion. Time can never
wipe out the dishonor which Napoleon
brought upon himself by his treatment
of Louis of Prussia.
For three years the king and queen
of demolished Prussia lived at Memel
life of poverty, humiliation, and sor-
row, devoting all their time to the edu-
cation of their children. Napoleon de-
clared: "There shall be no Prussia"
So crumbled the mighty structure
built up by Frederick the Great. The
conqueror tore from Frederick's tomb
the scarf and sword of the old warrior.
Alexander of Russia suggested that
Queen Louise shold have an interview
with Napoleon. What it cost that
proud, noble spirit all the world knows,
but, as Napoleon offered peace only at
the price of the half of Frederick Will
liam's kingdom and all his fortified
cities, little good resulted from the
interview
In 1909 the French garrison was
withdrawn from Berlin, and Frederick
William and Louise went back to their
capital.
No wonder Prussians honor and love
the memory of their blameless, beanti-
full queen, whom art, literature, and
tradition have made famous to the
world. A few days before she died, in
July 1910, while at her fathers at New
Stretitz, one of her old school friends
admired her pearls. The queen said
IL am fond of them. | kept them when
| had to part with my other jewels.
Pearls suit me; they are emblems of
tears, and | have shed many"
This beautiful woman, who wore the
white flower of blameless life through
one of her country's most trying
periods, died in the home of her child
hood. The tender devotion and love
of her husband and sons could not de-
fy all-powerful death.
Both of Queen Louise's sons be-
came Kings of Prussia. In the whirli-
gig of time it was William who took
out his vengence on France and the
ghost of Napoleon when he marched
into Versailles and become emperor of
United Germany.

THE WAY TO. GET RICH.

The way to get rich is to trust mo-
body, befriend none, keep all you get,
stint yourself and be the friend of no
man, and have no man q friend Of
yours, heap up interest cent upon cent
to be mean, miserable and despised
some twenty or thirty years, and
riches will come to you as sure IS dis
ease, disappointment and death. And
when pretty nearly enough wealth has
been accumulated by disregarded OF
the charities of the human heart and
at the expense Of every enjoyment,
death will finish the work, the heirs
dance and fight over what you have
left and the spirit goes-where? By
all means get rich. 1t will pay the
devil.

Some Odd Stories.
BY G. b. BURGIN.

We were sitting-seven or eight OF
us-round the fire after dinner, idly
Gaping each others anecdotes, when
our hostess suggested that things
which really happen to living men and
women are just as eventful as the crea-
tions Of the novelist's imagination.
''For instance" said she, II was at
the opera one night when lbani sang,
and had put on my prettiest frock for
the occasion. Unfortunately, my white
satin slippers were too tight; the pain
became almost unbearable | took off
one slipper when l thought no one was
looking, and carefully hid it under my
cloak, with the intention of replacing
it later Presently Albani came on
and began to sing. As | had never
seen the famous prima donna, | was
very anxious to get good view of her.
My opera-glass was also in my lap;
but | became so carried away with en-
thusiasm at the first notes of \ lbani S
voice that | was content to hear with
ont looking at her through my glass,
holding the latter poised in the air
ready to apply t. my eyes later, when
she should cease to sing Somebody
gently touched my elbow, but waved
the INTRUDER impatiently away. \
second later heard my husbands i'm

him to be silent Then three or four
people began To litter, and, rs Alhani
nom 'ntarily stopped singing. | had
leisure to turn rou.id and see what it
WAS that amiS.sl them SO greatly. To
my horror, | found that they were
laughing at me. Instead of putting
up my opera-glass, | had clutched my
white satin slipper 10y the middle. and
was holding it out ready to apply to
my eyes. How | managed t. sit
through the opera ! never knew; but
the curious thing is that, in the morti-
fication | experienced at being laughed
at, quite forgot the pain caused by
the other slipper =
