The inability of the steamship Vic
toria which arrived here yesterday to
bring the whole quota of immigrants
her agents had contracted for, is a mat
ter so serious at this time as to be a
distinct calamity to the Islands. The
phenomenal development of sugar plan
tations due to annexation has created a
demand for labor such as has never
been felt before, notwithstanding the
labor problem has ever been pressing
one. The 900 immigrants which the
Victoria expected to bring, would, it is
said by those in a position to know,
have relieved the situation here very
materially.
In the face of the deep sentiment
which exists here in favor of an immi-
grafton that will add to citizenship, it is
peculiarly unfortunate that through the
officiousness of an American consular
representative, the plantations should
have been deprived of needed laborers
and the Islands of valuable addition
to its citizenship.

The intimate relation between the
rainfall and the artesian water supply
is strikingly shown in the Government
Meteorologist's report for August. He
shows that the rainfall since January
LIST, this year, has been six inches less
than normal and that the artesian well
level has fallen IA feet since March 1.
During the month of August the rain
fall has been SO inches less than nor
NAL, and during the month the artesian
well level fell 2 of a foot. A series of
observations such as Professor Lyons
is making extending over a number of
years ought to be of the highest value
to the sugar interests, since artesian
water has come to play such an import
ant part in them.

There seems to be a general DISPOSE
ton among merchants to make Regatta
Day what it was originally intended it
should be, a day devoted to aquatic
sports. The grocers have taken the lead
and agreed to close up all day Saturday
Doubtless other lines of business will
do likewise. In a land where the sea
and the business and sports of the sea
are such important factors in life, it
would seem as if Regatta Day was a
most fitting national holiday.

The determination of the War De-
partment to establish a consumptive
hospital for soldiers, marks the change
which is ooing on in the medical view
of tuberculosis. The hospital is to be
located in New Mexico, where the air Is
dry and salubrious, and aside from the
possibility of untoward effects through
putting so many consumptives together,
the medical results from such oppor-
tunity of treatment as this hospital will
afford ought to be important.

view. 1t does not seek to ascertain all
the facts and then arrive at a conclu-
sion But adopting its conclusions first
ii argues from that as to what the facts
must be. The result is that there is no
demand in a French newspaper office
for facts.
In America and England the demand
is for facts. Hence the inventor of lies
who stamps his lies as facts and can
give them the appearance of fact can
temporarily pass them off as such
sometimes. But Immediately the de-
mand for more facts sets inquiry going
that soon establishes the real character
of the forged tale and it drops out Of
consideration. While in France no in
quiry for further facts is set up, the
whole thing passes into the realm of
argument and the truth is lost sight of.
Thus it is that the only real sensa-
tional allegation of facts in connection
with the Dreyfus case came from Am

JOURNALISTIC PIPE DREAMS"

With all the attention it has attract
ed, the Dreyfus case has been remark
ably free from that class of sensations
known as pipe Dreams" which are an
inevitable concomtant of any criminal
case in England or America which at
tracts public attention. These "plpe
dreams" in England and America are
purported revelations concerning the
subject under investigation. Enough of
the established facts in the case are
used to give the story a semblance of
probability at first. But it was left for
America to furnish the only real sem
sation of this kind in the Dreyfus case.
1t came from Atlanta. 1t took the form
of narrative given with much elanor-
alton of circumstances, to show how the
secrets of the French War Department
got to the German War Department,
through a United States Vice Consul as
a go between.
The story was well worked out 1t
was sensational. 1t was matter of fact.
But it lasted less than two days. AS
soon as it was analysed in the light or
well known facts, it fell to pieces.
The reason such stories originate in
England and America and not in
France is due to the difference of prin-
ciple between Anglo-Saxon and French
journalism. The leading purpose of an
Anglo-Saxon newspaper is to secure
and publish facts; of French newspa-
per is to create opinions. A French pa
per does not tell you that such and
such a thing happened and allow you
TO draw your own differences from it. 1t
tells you that the Republic is in danger
because such thing happened and

or lOO yards. The latter, having lost
the toss, started from the back stretch
mark. McDuffee from the tape. From
the pistol McDuffee not only failed to
gain on his opponent, but the latter
actually began to creep up inch by
inch on him. The crowd of $500 was
with Church to a man. Church gained
thlrty yards in the first mile owing to
MS starting point being at the top of
the high banking. At the finish the
quaker had increased his lead to fully
25O yards. McDuffees time for the five
miles was 11:3S; Church's for the five

There were 247 entries, but only 21l

Each bunch got eff on time and there
was not single spill. Of the 211 who
started, only III finished at Garfield
Park track, the rest dropping out along
the course. Thirty men were slightly
hurt as the result of falls, but there
were forty-five members of the Geneva
emergency corps, wearing red cross
badges, distributed along the road, and
they promptly took care of any who
needed attention in dressing cuts or
bruises. The thousands of spectators
who assembled at the finish and all
along the course were as enthusiastic
and good natured as usual and clearly
demonstrated that interest in road rae
i1<s is long way from dead. The first
man to cross the tape in front of the

dark horse and few recognized him.

About the Poultry Yard.

That all bacteria are not harmful but
That some, in fact, are even necessary
to life, is shown by some tests which
were recently made with chickens
matched under conditions which rem
dered them free from intestinal bac-
terra. After Matching they were sup
piled with sterilized food and water
and the conditions were such that the
lntestines were kept free from bacteria.
After few days the chickens did not
thrive and at the end of seventeen days
they were very weak. Microscopic ex-
animation showed that they were free
from bacteria Other chickens raised
under the same general conditions, but
with no precautions taken to prevent
their acquiring intestinal bacteria,
grew normally, showing the necessity
of these minute animals.
1t Is not advisable to leave fresh
lime where the poultry can get it or
even lime that is Stacked but yet re-
mains caustic in it's character. Old
plaster is safe, but it is hard to tell at
what point lime plaster ceases to be
dangerous. We have seen some that
was in reach of poultry that was so
strong one could not bare it in the
mouth. 1t is possible that the poultry
would refuse to eat such, but the good
sense of fowls cannot be depended on.
1t is generally easy to obtain enough
old plaster, and if not it is easy to mix
lime and gravel and allow it to form
plaster The progressive poultryman,
however, can afford to pay something
for oystershell grit, which is already
prepared. A man can prepare it but
the trouble is most men cannot "get
around it,"
Poultry raisers need not worry about
overproduction of poultry products. It
will never come in this nation, and we
have no reason to believe that it has
ever come in any nation. Poultry and
poultry products are great boon to
the people in this age of adulteration of
food products. The packers are even
rubbing our beef, mutton and pork
with preservatives, boraic acid and the
like. Even our fish are under sus-
picion, and it is asserted that all oys-
ters eaten away from the sea-board
have been saturated with the chemical
preservatives. Verify our stomachs are
put to severe test, whether with
meats or canned goods. But the egg
and the live fowl cannot be tampered
with. The best preservative is life, and

try ration is free from preservatives

Prof. A. S. Mitchell, chief chemist OF
the Wisconsin Dairy and Food Com
mission, was one of those testifying be-
fore the senatorial pure food investi
eating committee in Chicago. He de-
clared that some of the preservatives
used in butter and milk were exceed
lngly dangerous, the more so as they
were used carelessly and in quantities
far In excess of the amounts required.
He said that he had found "freezine"
10 be nothing more than almost pure
lormlc aldehyde, a chemical that acts
dlsastrously on the stomach. He said
ne could only surmise the results when
milk diluted with it is used constantly
IN the family. 1t is impossible to tell
the injury that has already been in
nlcted on the people by these chemicals
The worst feature of the business is
tnat the manufacturers and their
agents are all the time trying to con-
vince people that these preservatives
are safe. Let no one be deceived by
these pretenses. 1t is easy enough to
get testimonials, and even physicians
are sometimes Influenced to give an
opinion favorable to the wrong side
but the best experts in the country
and even in foreign countries are con-
stantly warning the people against
their use.
The fact that chemicals are begin
ming to be used in pure butter is an
omen not fraught with good to the
producers of pure butter. 1t is hoped
that the practice is not widespread,
for IT the people begin to find out that
they cannot, even in the high priced
article, get butter that is free from
preservatives, a reaction against the
use of butter is sure to come. The but
ter market will be demoralzed just as
a few years ago the foreign cheese mar
ket was ruined by the filled cheese
sent abroad. We are yet to see great
uprising of the people against doctor
ed goods in every form. If the people
can feel that their high priced butter
is free from all Objectionable sub
stances the market for it is bound to
improve, as the people will become
fearful of the lower priced goods. 1t is
both right and a good stroke of busi-
ness policy to keep our butter free from
deleterious substances. Butter we'll
made and properly taken care of needs
no preservative but salt to insure its
keeping for reasonable time.
