The funeral of w. H. Jordan Sun.
day morning was unquestionably the
largest funeral every held in the
county outside Of Wellington. In the
procession to the cemetery mile and
quarter east Of the deceased's late
residence, there were l3S vehicles, with
three lodges afoOt acting as an escort.
When the hearSe arrived at the ceme-
terry there were number of carriages
at the Jordan home which had not
yet gotten into line. There were 100
carriages altogether, and about $50
people at the funeral. The funeral
was under the auspices Of the Masonic
lodge. The MasOns, A.O.U.W., and
Select Friends lodges attended in a
body. The sermon was preached by
Rev. F. F. Bernstorff.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually.
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are USED, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

The Warning of Death.

With sickenlng frequency the people of
this country are shocked by the news of
some terrible holocaust, some great hotel
or theater or other large place of human
assemblage flaming to destruction with
tragic results So often is this spectacle of
death presented that il would seem that
the lesson rad been we'll enough taught that
l. is crim!nally dangerous for hotels or such
other places Of popular resort to be main
tained without the fullest precautions
against fire. Yet when such a building as
the Windsor Hotel goes up in flames and
men and women are killed the authorities
suddenly realize that the place has long
been a fire trap" they recollect that it has
never been properly equipped with life
saving appliances, and the people marvel
that such things can be.
1t is dreadful to believe that such calami-
ties can occur despite the advances of
science and the commands of the law 1t is
equally dreadful 10 contemplate the spec
tacle of successive fatal fires bringing no
wholesale reforms Today New York is
asking itself: What other hotels in this city
are unsafe. are antiQuated. are fire traps
are unprevided with safety devices? Where
are the danger spots? Were there a guar
anter that those questions would be an
swered by remedial action on the part of
the authorities, thus reducing the danger
TO minimum, the awful catastrophe of
yesterday might be accepted with some de-
gree of resignation.
Yet experience shows that while new
hotels are built in accordance with regula-
tions based upon modern opportunities, old
ones are Permitted TO stand and to invite
and secure patronage which represent the
worst Of the former methods of construe
. tion and which are moreover inadeauately
( maintained The danger is apparent at a
glance. The owners and managers of such
establishments. however. prefer to make

Prompt Punis h m ent.

Washington has been treated to whole
some exhibition of prompt justice during
the closing week. week ago Thursday
and Friday footpads stopped citizens on the
streets and attempted to rob them, succeed
ing in one instance. They were promptly
caught, identified and tried and yesterday
they were convicted and sentenced to serve
fourteen years each in the penitentiary
This display of police activity and judicial
alacrity ought to go far to persuade the
thugs that Washington is not a safe field
for their operations. This city lies on the
path of the eastern -tramps in their semi
annual movements northward and south
ward 1t is consequently occasionally in
Tested transiently with disreputable charac-
ters and sometimes with dangerous crooks
of various callngs. Some are house-break-
ers. some pickpOckets, some highwaymen
They do not often escape after breaking
the law. 1t Is unfortunately true that once
in while local criminal succeeds in
eyading arrest. But in the main the police
work with commendable speed and inteIU-
gence in picking up these strays from else
where who drift in TO ply their trade
Nothing is more instructive and deterrent
than the administration of speedy Justice in
all such cases. If the same degree of
promptness in punishment could be appiied
to the average criminal proceedings if
might be that Washington would soon en-
JOY one of the lowest crime rates in the
country.

which, had it been released and sent upon
Its errand, would have brought matters
seriously to issue England, it Is true, did
not sustain Mr.. Rhodes in all of his activi-
ties at that time, but he has remained the
dominating figure in that part of the world.
he enjoys the confidence of the English
government fully today, and he now adds
a new and very tall feather to those al
ready in his cap.
Mr.. Rhodes belongs to the school of Give
and Hastings. He is builder of empire
by means largely of force. He has not
been a student of other means. He en-
ploys the means he understands with mark
ed skill, and he has had the most signal
Of modern success in that line Of endeayor.
1t was only necessary, therefore, that he
the type of the German emperor and solicit
his good will and assistance to meet with
success. William the Second is in the en-
pire-building business himself. and mas
ter workman possesses value in his eyes.
England and Germany must, in the ma
ture Of things, be rivals wherever they
meet, but there is no reason why they
should be enemies. And II Mr.. Rhodes has
found way to bring them together in
Africa, why may not some strong man
bring them together for mutual benefit In
China? II they were to strike hands there
for the open door, the door would assuredly
never be shut.

the real and relatively reliable processes
which are easily at hand today.
Then comes a moment of carelessness, a
flame, panic, horror. Those who had
previously felt the building to be a trap
come forward with their tardy warnings,
there is ain inquest, condemnatory resolu-
tons are passed by coroners juries and
perhaps indictments are drawn by grand
juries. there may even be punishment of the
responsible ones and the affair passes into
the record of tragedies. But that there is
an insufficient resort to the law to prevent
repetitions is shown by the fact that repe-
tftions do occur.
The only safe rule to be followed when
ever human lives are at stake in large num-
Der is to yield not an inch from the strict
requirement that the very best devices
known shall be adopted to prevent whole
sale cremation. The time to apply the laws
ip all their rigor is Immediately after the
discovery that any place of large gathering
is unsafe. 1t should not require Windsor
Hotel fire to awaken the efty's agents to
their full duty. The sacrifice Of life should
not be demanded by official sloth to produce
remedial reforms. The wise nation pre-
pares for war In time Of peace. The wise
administrator of civic affairs insists upon
a full obedience to the laws which affect
life and health whether he Is aroused to it
by disaster or by reliable reports based
upon inspection.

Re Patient with BEGINNERS.

Suppose party of officials meeting in a
street in Havana were, as the result of
political discussion, TO engage in a fight
with pistols and half a dozen of them per-
ish on the spot. What theme that would
be for the anti-expansionists. What incon-
testable evidence they would see in the
tragedy of the incapacity of the Cuban peo-
pie for selfgoyernment! But when we read
the story from Hot Springs, where just such
a tragedy has occurred. We do not despair
OF the people of Arkansas. We know that
order will be restored and the laws enforc-
ed. We allow for although we do not ex-
cuse. an occasional frenzy among our own
people
Suppose that in some village in Porto
Rico the guards in charge of half a score of
prisoners were to be overpowered by a mob
and the prisoners, while begging for their
lives. shot down in cold blood. What a
norsel that would be for the anti-expan-
sionists. How completely that would con-
firm them in their opinion that the Porto
Ricans are naturally and wholly bad, But
such story coming from Georgia does not
lead us to despair of the Georgians. We
may not agree with Gov. Gamblers reason
ing about the crime, but we applaud his
denunciation of it and do not question his
sincerity. The laws will be enforced. and
the black man and the white man will con-
time to live together in the state.
The Cubans and the Porto Ricans are
just starting out. They are in leading
strings They are only toddlers as yet.
That they should walk as firmly as those
who have been self-reliant for over a hun
dred years is not 10 be expected. But, as
the two deplorable affairs just mentioned
show. stumble at times ourselves. and
should on that account be all the more pa
tient with beginners
With all OF its defects we yet have the
best government under the sun. 1t makes
for more good for a greater number than
any other government. 1t stands for edu-
cation, for progress and for heIpfuiness
il rests in the largest measure upon
the consent of those who live under
it and support it. And when condi-
tions have become normal again it will be
found possible to apply our laws and regu-
Iations among the people of our new pos
sessions greatly TO their benefit and to our
own.
