Here DIR. DAILY took occasion to pay
his respects to the war commission be-

ALGER ON PARADE.

One would think that Alger had been
d.scredited and Inundated and been
given to understand the popular con-
tempt in which he is held sufficiently
to cause him to seek seclusion rather
than prominence.
But those who think that Alger is
built on ordinary lines or is gifted with
saving sense of shame are sadly mis-
taken. The Michigan boodler, discred-
lied soldier, peanut politician and in
competent official has the highest opin-
ion of himself and never neglects an
opportunity to parade before the public
eye. This was exemplifed by his trip
to Boston hanging onto Mr.. McKin-
leys coattails. The fact that he was
Kissed in the streets there did not
phase Alger. He simply attributed it
tc lack of appreciation of his merits
by an ignorant populace.
On Washington's birthday he turned
up at banquet in Detroit and made
an imperialist speech there. That he
was not Missed was probably due to the
fact that he was in the house of his
friends. His remarks were character
istically narrow-minded, silly, dema-
gogic and false

MORE "WHO WILL HAUL 1T DOWN
ROT.

1T has been a difficult year We are
landed on new field. The stars and
stripes are planted tonight in a place
where they never have been before on
WashingtonS birthday. They never have
been taken down from where they had
been planted but once before: and they
never will be again. '-Alger in Detroit.
This is an amendment of Mr. Nc
Kinley's who will haul. it down" re-
marks. Alger hedges a trifle by ad-
hitting that the American Flag has
been hauled down "once before" But
that is but a slight concession to the
truth.
The flag was raised in Canada in 1912
and it was hauled down when peace was
restored; it was raised over Chapulte-
pee during the Mexican war and was
hauled down when the war was over;
it was raised in Tripoli on May 10, 1905,
and was hauled down June following;
it was raised over Spanish territory in
Florida in 1872 and hauled down when
the territory was restored to Spain
three years later; it was raised again in
Spanish Florida in 1918 and afterwards
hauled down; it was raised on the 18TH
mus of Panama during the Colombian
rebellion by Admiral Jouett, who treat
ed the country as temporarily Ameri-
can. and was hauled down when the
trouble was over.
Passing over Alger as unworthy of
further notice, what do those better in
formed and more capable Republican
statesmen-the President for instance
mean by persisting in the gross
Misrepresentation that the Amer
lean flag when once planted
on foreign soil has never
come down and should never come
down! That is flying in the face of
history and impugning the memories
of the great Americans who have raised
the Stars and Stripes over foreign ter
ritory repeatedly and promptly hauled
it down when the American mission
was ended
The President, himself, proposes to
haul down the flag in Cuba when we
shall have established a government
of the Cubans there.
The fact of our flag being raised in
the Philippines is in no sense a reason
why it should be kept there perma-
nently, although it constitutes about
the only tangible reason advanced by
the imperialists why we should perma-
age archipelago, which is absolutely
worthless to us.
A good deal less demagogy and more
common sense on the part of the i'm
perialists is needed in the discussion
of the Philippine question.

Mr.. Whitaker showed the bitterness
and sharpness of his tongue in the Sen
ate yesterday when he put Attorney
General Rucker over the fire on ac
count of his claim of 1880 for SER
vices rendered in prosecuting Ohio
county saloon keepers, for which claim
the Attorney General had lobbied on
the floor. The Wheeling Senator chad
it in for Mr.. Rucker on other counts,
also, and did that official up nice and
brown, declaring that a cast of his fea-
lures should be put on the dome of the
capitol and labelled "Audacity." All
of which goes to show that our friends
the enemy have family troubles of their
own.

goods was instituted some of them
were found in bureau drawer at the

RAISING THE DEAD.

Never give up a patient as dead
while there remains a restorative to be
applied, is a good motto for physicians
ana nurses to keep in mind.
Science and care and hard work have
accomplished SO many wonderful
things in the way of restoring the ap-
parent dead to life that the query is
forcibly presented: How many thous-
ands have been given up through ig-
nOrance and carlessness as dead, who
were not dead? Not infrequently we
hear of the disinterm9nt of remains
found to be horribly disfgured and
distorted showing that the occupant of
the grave had been buried alive-a
late too horrible for contemplation.
How often this is the case can only
be surmised. Physicians reputed to
lie the most careful and conscientious
death.
The latest instance of the fact that
these usually accepted signs are not
always to be trusted is found in the
case of Charles F. Robinson, a pneu-
monia patient in Hartford, Conn. He
had suffered a relapse, his other lung
had become affected and apparently he
had passed through the last stages of
the disease. A dispatch to the New
Jnr. ON no
His rawlings had ceased, his temperature
was 107, his pulse had begun to weaken
his breath came in short gasps, and every
evidence of the end was at hand. AT nine
O'Clock the last test of life, that of the
and the nurse informed the doctor that
the man was practically dead. The fam
lily took the fact for granted and prepara-
tons We're started to quickly remove the
nfeleSS body.
To the doctor there was one desperate
hope left. Placing a rubber blanket I'M
der the man, he caused snow to be
brought in and made into a bed, on which
he laid the patient, stripped naked Not a
CULVER of an eyehd, not a single gasp,
came as he was laid in the frgid mass
More snow was brought. 1t covered his
arms, his legs and his body. Everywhere
The mass was packed tightly around him
The order was keep him there till his
temperature goes down to 10l."
For forty-five minutes the man lay in
the snow with no signs of returning life.
the end of that time the doctor had the
snow taken away and again tried the
reflex action test. AS he put his finger
on the eye the lid quivered, and minute
later the first pickering pulse sent a thrill
through those who We're anXiously wait
ing.
Then came another surprise. The doc
tor a man of experience, suddenly struck
the insensible man a blow on the face
The eyes opened.
Who am I?' asked the physician
Hello, doctor" said the patient
Mr. Robertson is still very i'll, but the
crisis is past and he is on the road to re-
covery.
