1t is asserted by a New York physician
that he has discovered evidences of the
trans mission of certain diseases by means
OF the telephone. 1t is rot 10 be imagined,
of course that the disease germs are trans
mitted by means OF the electric current
from one individual to another. That would
be carrying the germ theory pretty far.
The point now raised Is far more practical
and believable. II is declared that the con-
slant and Indscriminate use of the tee
phone creates a grave danger that certain
disease germs may become lodged upon the
hard rubber mouth-piece or receiver of the
instrument, there to dry and be drawn as
dust into the mouth and perhaps the lungs
of some Later user. This is entirely cred
ible. 1t has long beet known that one of
the gravest dangers in modern life Is the
transmission of disease by means of dust.
1t is felt that many of the most serious all
mentS are at times thus transferred
through the drying and pulyerizing of the
expectorated matter and its scattering
through the air The receiver of the tele-
phone is Immediately In line with this form
of infection. 1t is claimed, though without
demonstration. that the present propounder
OF this new theory of disease transmission
has succeeded in isolating the grip germ as
a result OF his telephone receiver investisa-
lions. Whether he has or has not accom-
plished this unique feat. which has hitherto
baffied all other Investigators, he has GER
tainiy presented an interesting proposition
to the thousands of telephone users of the
great cities. He recommends as a remedy
that the receiver oe frequently washed out,

Haven't We heard about enough OF this
talk that England is seeking to make
cat's-paw of the United States by encourag-
ing permanent American control OF the
Philippines? Is there any other excuse Tor
it but bil,Ousness? One can understand II
when Europe INDUCES in it, but when
Americans Indulge in it it sounds like CAB
bic. Europe wants no union anywhere OF
English and American interests, and least
OF all In the east. But, in the light OF
recent history and as matters now stand,
why should any American protest against
the good feeling which draws England and
the United States so cordially together?
SO far as England is concerned it would
serve her interests very well for the United
States to retain the Island of LUzOn and let
the rest of the archipelago slide That
would insure the United States for a neigh
Dor, and at the same time give England
chance TO secure a Iootbold in the Philip
pines herself. Her eyes are fixed on China,
where she wants the trade door kept open,
and where the United States also wants an
open door. 1t would be impossible for the
United States to extend England friendly
hand in the east without receiving hearty
and helping hand in return 1t is not
case OF cat's-paw at all, and could not be
made one
The United States did not go to Manila at
EngIands suggestion, and it has no idea
of remaining there solely for England's
benefit II viii be glad of course, and
should be, that matters are IN such shape
that Engiand's interests will be subserved
along with its own by the presence of the
stars and stripes in that part of the world.
The English admiral in the Bay of Manila
was very friendly when Admiral Dewey
was being pestereD by the German admiral
and IL Europe, during the war, Engiand's
open sympathy with the United States kept
itching hands quiet which otherwise would
probably have been busy in Spain's behalf
England has richly earned, therefore. any
thing We now may do for her in doing for
ourselves.
The duty III the Philippines, whatever it
may be, is one that the United States owes
first 10 itself 1t did not go there without
good cause. and 1t cannot retire at a loss of
dignity and seIf-respect.

The Honors at Santiago.

Although II follows naturally as the re-

the promotions of AdnIrals Sampson and

UnpatriOtic and Unwise Opposition
From the PhiladslDhla In1nrer

This treaty should have been taken up at
once and ratified. Every day of delay since
its submission to the Senate has added to
the difficulties. The speeches that have
been made In opposition to 1t in the Senate
have but fomented revolution and possible
bloodshed The islands are not ours until
ratification comes. Our position is uncer-
tain, and we are unable to deal authorita-
lively with the revolutionists. We repeat
then, that the opposition has been unwise
unpatriotic and un-American. and we can
have no sympathy with those who have
been preventing the official ending of the
war with Spain, for they are placing US in
a dangerous position as a nation.
