Our Duty as a Nation

Many Of us deplored the Spanish war:
many of us now look forward with anxious
solicitude concerning the effect of victory
on the victor. says benjamin Ide Wheeler
in the August Atlantic. but still as we sur
vey the movements of human history in
the large, we cannot fail to see in all that
is occurring the inevitable grist of the
mills of the gods and the irrefraE aEable judg
ments of the Weltgericht. Spain and the
middle ages could not tarry in the west
We. on the other hand, could not shut our
selves within the walled garden of our
pleasant domesticity and shun responsible
tiles that the commerce and Intercourse

While, then. we may we'll be called upon
now to readjust our conception of national

in the spirit. However the letter and the

some things that must needs abide. A ma

Why the Spaniard Has Failed

A very interesting article in the August
number of the Pail Mall Magazine is con-
tributed by Mr.. David Hannay. VINO, from
an intimate acquaintance with Spain and
the Spaniards, throws considerable light
on the Spanish character. Mr.. Hannay
says that the Spaniard. who has once more
come before the attention of the world,
inspires those who really know him with
somewhat mixed feelings. Mrs. Carlyle
said of De Quincy that she alternately
wanted to hug him and to toss him in
blanket-to hug him because he was such
a charming little man. and to toss him in
a blanket because of those aimless, shift
less habits of his, which made him we'll
nigh intoerable to a punctual hard
headed Scotchwoman. When ons has
reached the point of knowing the Spaniard
intimately-not only on his social side but
in business-one ends by feeling about him
very much in this way. Those who do not
know him at all, or at second hand, may
take him for feroc!ous creature who only
rouses himself from sloth to indulge in ex-
cesses of cruelty. This picture is about a S
like the real man as Is the old continental
idea of the brutal Englishman who sells
his wife at Smithfeld and commits suicide
from spleen. That he is capable of cruelty
is true and so are other races. Nothing
would be easier than to make a list Of
abominable massacres running all through
French history down to the Commune of
our own time Yet we are not asked TO call
the F'renchmen cruel--at least. not to say
that what peculiarly distinguishes him is
his cruelty 1t can, of course. be answered
that if other conquerors and settlers have
cine IN he recnrdsd against them they have
ended by establishing order and c!V.liza-
ton, and the Spanard has not. To that
his best friends find il difficult to make
satisfactory answer and they are unable
precisely because they do know him and
his weak point. II one wants to explain
fairly why he has failed in the world. the
answer must be that he is the most un-
busnesslike of mankind.

KOCH'S VIEWS ON MALARIA
German Physician on the Northern
Mans Foe in the Tropics

4 consular report from Frankfort. Just
printed and issued by the state department,
summarizes recent lecture in which DR..
Robert Koch. the most eminent of bacteri-
ologists, developed his theory In regard TO
malaria The cable dispa tches have al
ready stated that he lays upon mosquitoes
the sole responsibility for human suffer-
ings from this dread disease, but this was
only one of many interesting points in the
lecture. which by the way was delivered
in Berlin on the 10th instant. Malaria,
said Dr. Koch is the most serious of all
obstacles encountered by northern races
attempting to colonize the tropics, and real
success will never be attained until 1t has
been vanquished The malady, in various
degrees of severity, exists in all parts of
the world. and it's exciting cause is always
q parasite in the human blood. The al
ternate rise and fall of the patients tenn
perature corresponds exactly with the
changing number of these parasites, and
by examination of the blood the progress
and stage of the disease can be definitely
ascertained.
He has further succeeded in demonstrate
ing ,the axact moment for the effective ad-
ministration of quinine, which does not

limits its power of production. This dis
covery was highly important, for as re-
suit of ii, the physician can, with reason
able certainty provide that the disease
shall be cured and and not run TO a fatal re-
suit. Just as there is no locality exempt
from malaria. so there is no race immune
TO it, Negroes living on the coast of trop-
ical countries are practically so. but ne
groes of the same race from the mountain
Gus districts coming to the coast are sus-
centible to the fever The former have
according to The opinion of DR.. Koch, ac-
ouired immunity through slight malarial
attacks during infancy and youth. But.
as there is naturally produced immunity.
it must be possible, he says, to produce an
artificial one.
The essential step in combating the dis
ease is for the patient to leave Immediately
the malaria infected district, and be pro-
tected against mosquito bites by prophy-
Tactic doses of quinine. DIR. Koch believes
that through his studies of malarial dis
ease in the localities where its most
intense and virulent forms prevail the way
has been opened to new lines of study, and
new limits set to the dangers of the disease
itself. He closed his address with these
words: "To overcome this malady Is
equivalent to the peaceful conquest of the
most beautiful portions of the globe.''-
