says:
The Twentieth Kansas disembarked
today. Gen. Funston came with the
men. The march from the dock to the
Preside was one long ovation. The
entire route was packed with spectators
and the welcome of the Kansas soldiers
was almost equal to that accorded the
California regiment.
The returned soldiers were escorted
by nearly 1000 regulars, and were re-
viewed by Governor Stanley and staff
and 60 private citizens from Kansas and
Gen. Shafter and the local officials.
Gen. Funston and wife were given
an enthusiastic reception.

A Mysterious Island.

Much attention has been given of late to what
we may call the strange of Clipperton Island
1t is not more than three miles in circumference.
and it lies in the Western Pacific something like
800 miles west of Mexico. Tn the wide expanse
of the Pacific Ocean it shows like a mere speck

refuge for few of the army of beacl-combers

soon dispersed by the police, there was no one
injured and no damage done-the most incipient
riot one could we'll imagine These are the plain
facts in the case and the WEEKLY has been thus
explicit, more than anything to furnish the con-
temporary press on the mainland with the true
facts in the matter. Undoubtedly, the yellow"
journals of the United States have, ere this
reaches them, Historically heralded Honolulu's
poor little riot as an event of international inn
portance.
Mr.. Klemrne may have been well within his
rights as German citizen but he certainly used
extremely bad judgment in pushing the matter
after seeing the temper of the mob. One who
caters to the public should use a little tact and
policy. 1t is understood that he now has "bee
in his bonnet" and has visions of wealth derived
from claim against the United States for dam
ages. For what? let us ask. This rosy ambition
must be curbed 1t is sincerely hoped that Ger

Love OF GeWqaws.

In the days of Jeffersonlan simplicity
which according to tradition existed in
the United States many, many years
ago, the Americans despised titles, uni
forms and anything that reminded them
of livery to denote rank or occupation.
But it is different now. One out of two
men is hungry for a title and when he
does get n clings to it even beyond the
grave. Judging by many a tombstone. Ii
he can not get a title by enlisting for
war, he may cur it by joining the
militia. Even a lodge title will do and
he is as proud of being called Grand
Shark of the Universe, or the Illustrions
Beeium of the Amalakamites as he would
be of epaulets and spurs. As to uni
forms, the American simply dotes on
them. In lodge he clothes himself in
regalia that is wonderful to behold; in
life he will wear his uniform long after
he is mustered out. Railroads, hotels,
telegraph companies, municipalities,
dress their employees and servants in
uniform and even the members of bands
may be seen digging spuds with the
gold trinkets of their uniforms glitter
ing in the sun. Truly, America is aping
the habits of the old world more and
more and that which the forefathers
despised has become the chief glory of
their children.

Buy Land and Get Rich.

Less than two decades ago a country
editor at Auburn, Calf, consulted a
millionaire as to how to get rich. The
millionaire was J. P. Whitney, of Maine,
who has a vast country estate near Au-
burn. "Buy land" was the answer. SIT
does not matter where you buy, 1t will
increase in value as sure as sunrise will
be followed by warmer temperature.
The growth Of the population between
the oceans that lap the shores of the
United States will make it necessary for
all the land to be used. OF curse If
you pay a high price, 10Y or choose a
poor locality the longer you will have to
wait fer a sale at a profit, but it Is only
a question of waiting no matter where
the land may be. All that l have nov
has been made through buying and wait
ing for an increase. In fact l walked
into this county with but SO cents In my
pocket and used the first money l got as
wages for the purchase of o little land.
As | made money in land l bought more
and more. Finally l bought lumber
lands in Maine that no one else wanted
and they have made me millions. Wher-
ever ! invest / hold on until q demand
comes for the land, no matter how long
may be the period Of waiting"
About the time that this advice was
given MI. Whitney bought the copper
lands in Grant county, New Mexico, and

Veterans Of the Mexican War.

This week at Nevada, Mo-, forty vete-
rams of the war with Mexico assembled.
Some of them were with Col. Doniphan
when in 1916 he swung out from Leaven.
worth, Kas., with a regiment 1000
strong and marched to Santa Fe, which
was easily taken. From this city the
regiment marched to Brazitos, near Ell
Paso, where the first real engagement
took place. Then the command went VIC
toriously through Chihuahua, and joined
Gen. Taylor in the attack on Buena
Vista. No confederates in the civil war
ever became more ragged than these
men who had drawn no accoutrements
nor uniforms since they left Leaven-
worth until they reached the army of
Gen. Taylor in Mexico. From the time
they left Leavenworth until they reached
home, the survivors had marched 5000
miles over very f%orbidding country.
This reunion calls attention to the fact
that there are now but 1O,O19 pensioned
survivors Of the 1O2, 900 men who com-
posed the armies of Gems. Taylor and
Scott. Last year OCT died. Twelve wears
ago there were 20,551 pensioners on ac-
count of the war with Mexico. 1t is be-
lieved that there may be 1000 survivors
not drawing pensions. Over 5000 widows
OF soldiers who served in that campaign
are still drawing pensions, many of whom
were young women when they married
veterans.
A few of the men who invaded Mexico
may be living a dozen years from now,
as there are four pensioners of the war
of 1912, but they will be few indeed. The
death rate Of nearly 1000 last year, in
dicates how rapidly they drop off as age
increases.

The editor did not follow the advice of
the millionaire, although land could
then have been had in small or large
quantities in that county at SIS per acre
and the newspaper man was by no
means without resources. Today the
same class Of land is easily worth from
$25 to $50 per acre in the market, and
the newspaper mar is worrying along
as a night editor upon a San Francisco
daily, looking forward to the time when
the establishment will push him aside to
put in a younger man.

A Ban on ~Consumptives.

The California state board of health
this week created a sensation by unani-
mously adopting a resolution in favor of
an official investigation with a view to
establishing a quarantine against ami
mails and human beings afflicted with
tuberculosis, entering the state. In
support of the resolution its author said:
"Twenty thousand consumptives in a
year enter II state, promiscuously
spreading the germs of their W dis
ease. The climate may save n in so
lives or prolong lives a few months or a
year, but how many others who have
not been previously infected will die
from this reason? We are morbidly
afraid of d%iphtheria, scarlet fever, small
pox, cholera and yellow fever. We
quarantine these cases because they kill
so quickly, and our people appreciate
this, but lingering tubercular disease
that eventually kills twice as many as
all these together is permitted to con-
tinue unchecked, ignoring the efforts of
science. Patients, l think, ought not to
attend churches or theaters or public
social gatherings, o should they oc-
cupy public conveyances, such as rail-
way cars, without especial provision be-
ing made for them. | do not believe
that patients suffering from consump-
ton should be permitted to enter hotels
without rooms being protected by a
health officer of the community, in &C
cordance with the general laws of the
state"
The statement may be true as to the
danger of infection in California, but in
New Mexico, the dry, aseptic air not
only effects healing but in the opinion
of most if not of all physicians, is a
guarantee against any general infection,

Financial Pinch In New York.

Every year at this time the New York
banks get hard up, that is they have to
call in loans to keep their reserve up to
the limit, so great is the demand for
money for handling crops and the VOL
ume of business that sets in with the
fall trade. When this happens persons
borrowing from the banks tor specula-
ton in stocks and bonds have to unload
and prices on the stock exchange drop
because the spectators must realize in
order to meet the demands of their
bankers. Such a condition now exists
and banks are able to get from Z to 8
per cent interest from patrons who must
borrow money on call to carry ON their
operations. The situation is said by the
treasury officials not to be q serious one
as the banks can get within the safe
limit oon by calling in loans, but they
are loath to decrease their earnings in
this manner. Some Of the. banks are
