THE TIME is RIPE

Probably the most logical and char
acteristic development on the eve of the
general election in England Is that which
gives rise To the story of coalition be
tween Lord Rosebery and Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain, the former hoping To
separate the Liberal party from the
Little Englanders and the latter io ad-
vance bis ambition to become Prime
Minister.
The time Is ripe for such an alliance.
The opportunity row presented is not
an accidental opportunity. The British
war on the two South African Repub-
lies was forced by Chamberlain for the
furtherauce OF his own political for
tunes. for the greater advantage OF Cecil
Rhodes's syndicate schemes and for the
Strengthening Of the imperial federation
spirit.
With victory for British arms now as
sured, the rewards Of victory may be
legitimately claimed by Chamberlain.
In the fervor of enthusiasm created by
the crushing of the Boers and the con-
sequent vast increase Of the British
power in South Africa, the Little Eng
landers, opposing British expansion
through blood and sin, constitute a dis
credited and unpopular party. The
dazzling temptation of n South African
empire richer than that of India has
been used with tremendous effect by

MALARIA AND MOSoTITDES

There seems 10 be scientific basis for
the recommendation wi hich a number of
81. Louis doctors have made 10 the 81.
Louis Board of Health that the mos
quito matching ponds in 81. Louis be GOV
erred with a thin film of KEROSENE al this
season as a I'recaution against malar ria
These physicians accept the growing
Theory that the specific germ whose
presence in the blood causes malaria is
introduced there by the sting of mos
quito and that if the ponds In which the
ni"squito is matched are covered with Il
nlm OF oil the insect will be killed.
When she mosquito theory OF the
origin Of malaria WIS preached some
years ago little heed was given It even
by those who readily accept a new view.
During the past year. however, the
theory has become a doctrine and new
Investigations continue 70 confirm IL.
Extensive Investigations on the subject
have recently been made. The British
Government, i'll conjunction with the
Royal Sdclety, sent a commission 10 the
west coast of Africa 10 definitely identi-
iy the notwithstanding mosquito and 10
locate his breeding places The Liver
pool School of Tropical Medicine sent
Il similar expedition to the east coast of
Africa. Lately the London School Of
Tropical Medicine has sent two of its
members {" the Roman Campo gIla
where malaria has been prevalent for
time whereof the memory of man run
meth not 10 the contrary
These expeditions have laid the blame
for malaria on the mosquito known TO
science as the Anopheles Claviyer. This
insect may be identified and distin-
Suishe1 from the harmless type by the
fact that ii rests with its body almost
at right angles TO the wall. while the
harmless snat tests with its body
parallel to the wall.
The Liverpool School of Tropical
Medicine as a result OF it's investiga-
lions has issued instructions for the
prevention Of malariai fever for the use
of residents in maiarious places
'An speculations about air soil and
malaria belts. IL says, have been
rendered obsolete. There Ia no reason
10 believe that the parasite Of ma
laria finds access to the human body
through any other channels than by
means Of the Anapheles mosquito. II
this particular insect could be .xtermi-
mated there is every justiiica ion for the
hope that malarious feyers would dis
appear from the earth; and fortunately
the determination does not seem 10
present inSurmOUHtable difficulties. The
eggs are laid in water and the larvae
when Matched live in water for about a
week before they assume the mosquito
form. AS larvae. like those of the com
mon snat, they rise to the surface to
breathe and a tilm of oil on the s,lrCace
Is speedily fatal TO them by blocking I'D

FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT.

Reported negotiations between the pres

tion and parties representing private
amusement enterprises indicate that the
former are proceeding on lines that iy-
more the real purposes for which the
Exposition was established and through
the continued attainment of which alone
may its legal existence be perpetuated.
The Exposition anagruIent will do
well TO understand at the outset that
the enterprise of which they are now
al the head may not thus be diverted
from its original aims without corrective
action on the part uf the public. The
situation under the law is plain. IF II
becomes Enthusiastically apparent that
the Exposition is not To be directed for
the public benefit. that its legitimate OBJ
legations To the public are TO be met in
purely perfunctory manner, while it
becomes, in fact, a place of amusement
and entertainment for the advancement
of private interests, the city Of st.
Louis must take steps to prevent this
violation Of the contract under which
the Exposition became SO notable IA

eral good.
The attention Of the Exposition
management is earnestly directed to
this aspect of the situation. II is ad-
visable that they proceed with a clear
understanding of the proper status of

cur a very definite risk Of compelling
