A PATRIOTIC BABY.
He Was Born with ''U 81 and Stars on
His Breast After the Fight
at COano. q

Near the quiet little town of Coamo,
in the province of Ponce, Porto Rico,
was born on Thanksgiving day re-
markable boy baby. His mother, says
the New York Sun, was a half-breed
West Indian negress and his father a
fulI-blooded negro. The baby is almost
white. More remarka bic still are the
markings on the child's breast. On the
right side there is a blood-red letter
H." While on the other side appears
the letter 50 in bluish-purple tint.
About these letters are many white
spots like stars, two on either side of
the neck being five-pointed.
A visitor who saw the baby learned
that during the fight of Coamo last
July, when the Pennsylvania troops
were sent to the rear of the Spanish
position. the mother was alarmed while
a work in the field near the road by
the approach of the American troops.
She was frightened at their sudden APP
pearance, and, ,crouching behind a
hedge, watched them pass.
The regInental colors were sudden
~ planted against the hedge near her
as the color-bearer rested for a few
minutes. She had never seen a full
blooded white man before except the
unburned and dark-hued Spaniards,
and the Pennsylvania men appeared as
different race to her. The excitement
of the battle that followed added to
her first surprise, prostrating her for
several days. Nothing was thought Of
the experience after she had fully re-
covered until the birth of her baby.

Public opinion in the United States
appears to have little inclination to
censure the blunt diplomacy by which
Admiral Kautz brought the crisis to a
head at Samoa. His vigorous action
was like a thundec storm, which may
do some small damage at the moment,
but clears the air Of the whole neigh
borhood, and makes all concerned feel
better after it is over. 1t taught the
tumultuous Samoans a lesson which
they viii not soon forget, and it ap-
pears to have had the same effect on
the German authorities, who needed it
more than the natives. 1t did more
good than harm in all directions.

RESPONSIBILITY IN JOURNALISM

Representative Rankin, taking his
cue from the new California press law
(already a dead leter), introduced a
bill in the Illinois assembly which, he
processes to believe, would insure the
state honest and responsible journal
ism. 1t provides that every article.
statement CT editorial contained in any
newspaper which shall reflect upon or
11npeach the integrity of any person
shall be signed by the true name of the
writer Failure to comply is to be pm
ishable by a fne of $500 fer each VIC
Iatton Of the requirement.
Mr.. Rankin assures US that the
highest motives" prompted his intro
duction of this bill. Very likely: but
the intelligence behind it is deplorably
low. The measure is as superf1uous rs
it is absurd and inconsequential Re
sponsIbility in journalism there must
be, but legally as well as morally we
now have all the responsibility that
can reasonably be demanded. The
owner and publisher eff a newspaper
accepts and is held to full 1esponsfbil-
ity for any statement printed in its
columns. What matters it to the pub
lie, or even to the men reflected upon
or i1lpeached, who the writer Of the il
bel0us article is, SO long as the pub
Usher is accountable?
So far as editorials are concerned it
is as futile as it is unfair to hold the
writer's responsible for the opinions
expressed in them, The ro.iCy of
paper IS determined by the owner, and
he virtually dictates every utteranca
published editorially. AS well call up
On the typesetter to assume liability
for the words and sentiments dictated
by the real author! The writer of an
editorial, any more than the compost
to- who puts 1t in type, does not neces-
sariiy believe in the ideas he is made
to express; indeed, very frequently he
holds views dramatically opposite to
those Of his chief, whose orders he
to advocate loyalty and consistently
voice that of the proprietor To pun
1sh the former for the acts of the Ia.
is hardly equitable.
Assuming that a Rankin law can be
enforced (Which it cannot), the only re-
SUIT would be that the publisher and
proprietor ct z paper would sign each
editorial How would that enhance
sponsibility? In the eye of the law
each editorial is regarded as signed by
the proprietor in any case, and the
Rankin bill would effect no real change

JAPAN BUYING OF US.

In the case Of a people so clever IS
the japanese, and so eager to adopt
the products of American mechanical
genius, Z has long been a cause of
wonderment in certain quarters that
our agricultural machinery, world
famous, has secured no market in ia
pan. Consul Samuel S. Lyon, of
Osaka, explains the matter in few
words. The low price paid for farm
labor tends to exclude machinery; but
there are other reasons. The land is
kept under continual cultivation and
there is no sod to break up; conee-
quently little labor is necessary to
prepare the soil for seed. Furthermore
fields devoted TO different crops vary

EXILE OF BROTHER BERNARD.
Discipline that May Do Harm to the
Cause CT Religion.

Among the recent changes which
seem to be the order of the day with
the Brothers of the Christian Schools
is the exile of Brother Bernard Of Man
haitian college, New York, to Cairo,
Egypt 1t seems strange - Catholics
that such acts are permitted while the
case of the American Brothers is still
pending in Rome. It is but registering
a common opinion among those of the
household Of faith that discipline, IN
der certain conditions, assumes the ap-
pearance OF the perversion Of otbadi-
ence and is bringing incalculable harm
to the cause OF religion. A Distinguish
ed priest has recently written me. and
he, too, a member Of a religious COM
munity that "the result will be, sooner
or later, that the Brothers in this cOun-
try viii separate from France. Every
religious order ought to DE independent

Of their own nationality During the
transition period the establishments of
the Christian Brothers in the United
States will suffer in many ways" Es-
pecialfy is this now apparent in the
supplies furnished to take the places of
some Of the best educators now eXiled
in foreign lands even without consul
tation with them. But The end of such
highh2nded injustice, under the names

He took the bill and returned a correct

two new items, one of nine dollars for

one Of $3.50 clerks fees, for making a
