Boxers /.

The curious public does not obtain valuable
information concerning the character ana
purposes Of the boxers from Minister
Wu's genealogical discussion of the name
Of the organization. Mr. WI has no per-
sonal knowledge of the Boxers and has
not been furnished with any information
from China concerning them But he in
fers from their Chinese name. which signi-
tes Righteousness. harmony and fists, that
they are q sort Of Asiatic Y. NJ. c. A.
athletic club. The accent seems to be upon
that portion of the name of the organiza-
ton which is translated fists" Inasmuch
as the Boxers threaten to become the
factor in Chinese affairs which will bring
to the crucial point the questions of Tartar
government for China: of dismemberment,
OF the open door in trade. and of interna-
tional war. 1t may safely be assumed that
Minister WI will speedily enlighten himself
Concerning them.

Is it possible that Congress will adjourn

seat of government at Washington? Is the
District to rest content with the Senate
amendment to the sundry civil bill which
proposes the appointment of an expert COM
mission to report next December a plan Of
patching the White House and spelling the
Mall? Are we to celebrate with wild en-
thusiasm the conversion into street surface
and building sites of our largest urban
reservation, the surrender of the principle
which has protected our public parks
against destruction even by Uncle Sam
himself. and the overthrow Of all the hopes
which have been nourished of making the
environment of Pennsylvania avenue worthy
of that great. historic thotoughfare?

Collapse of the Beers.

President Kruger is reported as In flight

that is needed is an official report from
Lord Roberts to confirm the complete fail

end of the war. His latest dispatches show
that there was comparatively heavy fight

British success. This may prove to be the

A Word for the Army Canteen


From the Minneapolis Times.
1t is hard to understand the hostility of
well meaning advocates of temperance 10
the post canteen. All army officers are
agreed that it diminshes drunkenness, de-
lirium tremens and nervous diseases due
to dissipation. In the Philippines 1t saves
the soldiers in great measure from the
maddening native drinks and at home from
the poisonous compounds sold in the dives
on the edge of the reservation. Army Of
ficers are more interested than any one else
car be in the prevention of drunkenness
in the army. Drunkenness means sickness
disorder. inefficiency. difficulty in maintain
ing discipline If the canteen were cause
of drunkenness instead Of a preventive they
would be the first to demand It's abolition.
On the contrary they have said most en-
phatically that 1t Is institution that
should be preserved. They look at the
practical side of things and knowing that
human statutes cannot make saints Of SOL
diers. they favor the most practical meth
DDS of reducing intemperance to a mini
mum.

Use of Adulternnts In MIX.


Formalin is a poison which will cause
death II taken in sufficient quantities. How
much of 1t, If any a baby can take with
out being harmed thereby Is not a ques-
ton for milkmen to determine Nor. indeed,
is 1t one that chemists can be allowed to
pass on by majority vote. The tenure Of
infantile life is frail enough when every
precaution is taken. The milk consumers
whose interests are most to be regarded are
the little children, and they are the ones
who may be poisoned by adulterants that
will not perceptibly harm adults. Fines,
which may be suspended or appealed will
not punish the offenders so effectively as
publicity will. II the health department will
notify housekeepers who are the milk deal
ers who violate the ordinance by putting
in their milk foreign substance which
the head of that department is satisfied is
1.-The most dangerous Of all adulterants,' -
those housekeepers will protect their chill
dren by ceasing to buy milk from those
dealers. Hot weather Is approaching, when
impure milk is more harmful to babies than
at any other time.

earlier than was to have been expected
when Lord Roberts began his march north
ward from Bloemfontein. In the light OF
the events OF the autumn it has come in an
incredibly short space of time. Indeed. the
record the commander-in-ch!ef has written
for himself in this campaign has been re-
markable when the difficulties which he
faced at the outset are considered. He has
relieved three besieged cities, gathered to-
gether the scattered armies which were
wasting themselves by frontal attacks with
out making progress, established reliable
lines of communication with the coast and
forced his divisions completely across one of
the republics and to the gates of the cap
ital of the other with losses that are incon-
sequential and in such short space of
time that the Beers have had no oppor-
tunity to recover themselves.
Kruger announced to the world at the
outset of the war that the price the Eng
lish must pay for victory is South Africa
would stagger humanity. He has utterly
failed to keep mis- bloody promise. The Brit
fish losses, heavy though they may have
seemed in detail at first. insignificant
in the aggregate and in the light of the
achievements accomplished. They do not
reach the total of the loss of one side in any
one of many of the battles of the American
civil war. Were it not for the frequent am
buscades and the loss of prisoners the
British total of casualties would today be
unworthy of reckoning in the light of Dom
Paurs forecast. And the war has not been
greatly destructive of values. There have
been no cities ruined. no great establish
ments wrecked no mines, as the case now
stands. destroyed. The war bill paid by
England has been heavy, of course, for the
Of tha frip
meant an enormous drain upon the public
purse. But with all the items added, on
both sides. the aggregate will rank very
low in the list of war costs.
