Of stock in the trust. But no, they would
not do that. And il is a fact. according
10 the press, that William J. Bryan, who
has been twice turned down By the Amer
lean people. is reported as saying in his
speech at Kansas City, Sept. ?. as follows:
II have heard that the true solution of the
problem Is for labOring men TO divide the
profts with the trusts. That has been
given as an argument for the trusts. 1t
would be like dividing spOils of the high
Wayman. 1t would be permitting a man
10 rifle your pockets and then offer 10 di-
vide the proceeds with you. Such a thing
would be immoral and impolitic" Mr..
Bryan gives no reason why il would be
immoral 70 divide the profits with the men
just the trust divides with Morgan and
all the other stockholders who have in

polite TO put the laboring man on an

Bryan, who teaches the doctrine of hate
between one class and another would have
10 political show to hOOdwink the people
If the trusts are so rich and divide among
their stockholders such large sums, would
il be immoral or impolitic TO give the labor
ing man his share?
1t seems to me that Mr. Morgans propo-
sitiOn takes all the merit out of the strike.
And who IS the friend of labor, Mr.. Nor

FROM SUNDAYS JOURNAL.
Summary OF the Chief News In the
Issue of Sunday, Sept. s.

The latest bulletin of the night, issued
at $40 a. m, stated that the President
had passed fairly good night, with pulse
at 122, temperature at 1924, respiration at
"A. The maximum pulse of Saturday was
40, maximum temperature 1925, maximum
respiration %. Decision was reached
on Saturday 10 take an X-ray photograph
of the wound for the purpose OF locating
the bullet. Vice President Roosevelt
was informed by the physicians that the
President undoubtedly would recover, and
that his friends could be so informed.
1t was generally expected that the
crisis would be reached within twenty
four hours, the chief dangers being peri
tOnitis, septic poisoning and suppuration
of the wound. in the order named. :
Mrs. Mckinley continued TO bear up under
the strain with remarkable fortitude and
minutes during the morning. Senu-
ment at the national capital was not quite
SO hopeful on Saturday night.
Messages of sympathy poured into the
State Department all day, from the rulers
and high officials of nearly all the coun-
tries of the world. The financial
magnates of the country took counsel to
the tragedy and its immediate consequences
on the monetary and commercial inter-
ests OF the country, and in this they are
aided by similar steps taken by the treas
ury officials at Washington. Anar-
chist CZOlgOcz made a full statement OF his
crime, and of his preceding efforts 10 kill
the President. He was under examination
six hours. All over Europe a great
wave OF sympathy is manlfesting itself for
the distinguished sufferer at Buffalo, for
his sOrrowing wife and for the American
people.

A CoNsTANTINoPLE CoTILLoN.
At the American Minister'S with Amer.
lean Figures and Favors.

London Telegraph.
One Of the most brilliant entertainments
ever seen in Constantinople was that re-
Gently given by Mr.. Leishman, the Ameri-
can minister, in honor or his daughter 5
birthday. The feature of the evening was
the cotilon, which was led by Miss Leish-
man and Mr.. Eddy OF the American Iega-
ton, assisted by Miss Singer and Mr. FOu-
quiet. IT would take too long TO describe
all the figures, but some were very striking
and novel. Everything had been most care
fully prepared to the smallest detail The
ballroom was entirely decorated in pink
and all the favors used in the cotillOn were
made TO match. In very short time the
scene became brilliant. IS some of the first
favors distributed were for ladies' pink and
silver gauze butterflies. and silver gauZe
stars for the gentlemen. A most amusing
figure was that in which each gentleman
received large Dutch pipe which produced
musical sounds and enabled him To assist
house into which two ladies were shut
However, when the door was opened TO the
crowd of expectant partners, only one lady
appeared in place OF the other dummy
dressed as a negress, fell into the arms OF
the eager gentleman nearest the door. who
had TO waltz his unpleasant partner round
the room.
Another special feature was the en-
trance of the grand ViZier's dWarf-lent for
the OccasiOn-whO appeared leading a baby
donkey, loaded with flowers. MIR. Loish-
mans son also came in American
postman and distributed letters. Great
amusement was also caused by a series OF
tipped with powder puts, the gentleman
who first dabbed his adversary with powder
carrying OFF the lady The last figure
could hardly have been prettier. Each gem
tleman was provided with a huge artificial
rose. and at q given moment began shalS-
ing II over his partner, who was covered in
an instant with showers OF rose leaves. At
the same moment a gigantic cOrnucOpia
attached TO the roof suddenly poured out
a shower OF real roses. When the COtillOn
was over supper was provided on the ter
race overlooking the Bosphorus.

THE STEEL STRIKE.
Views OF Man Who Thinks Skaters
Action Unjustifiable.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
1T is a fact that more men are laborng
now than at any other time. 1t is a fact
that wages were never better than now.
1t is a fact that God ordained that man
should live by the sweat of his face, and
when men are laboring they are not COM
hitting crimes or plotting treason. Labor
is, therefore, blessing. 1t is a fact. that
TO labor, when and where he pleases is the
birthright of man. 1T is an encroachment
on mans brthright and liberty for certain
men to organize into a union and declare
that no man shall be permitted TO work
unless he belongs 10 a certain union. Thi,
Is invasion on mans liberty and on
his birthright. III is a fact that a man 50
bound is a slave, and can only work when
Shafer says he may, and he IS bound TO

MOsQUIT0ES AND MALARIA.
Not All the PestiferOus Insects Arc
Considered Dangerous.

The Journal has received from the au-
thor. DR.. Robert Hessier of LOgansport,
Ind. n COPY OF a pamphlet reprinted from
the proceedings Of the Indiana Academy Of
Science for 1900 The paper is entitled
MOSQUITOES and Malaria" 1t gives many
facts about the disease known as malaria
or cbflIs and fever its cause and mode of
action, and outlines how the disease, or,
rather the disease germs, are transmit tied
from one individual TO another through the
agency of the mosquito 1t says:
Not all kinds OF mosquitoes are able to
infect bv their bite. The common MOSQUITO
living in cities, recognizable by its unspot-
ted wings, does not transmit the disease,
but the other two species, or kinds, living
about the city, and especially in the coun-
try, and distinguished by the dark spots
on the wings, are able 10 do so. They are
known as AnOpheles mosquitoes 1t should
be distinctly understood, however, that I'M
less the special kind OF mosquito itself has
been feeding on the blood OF patients sick
with malaria it is wholly unable TO infect
others by its bite; the mosquito simply acts
as a gO-between. The only reliable dag
nOstic test for malaria is stated 10 be a
nicrOscOpical examination of the blood, a
minute drOplet being drawn from the finger
tip.
Malaria was formerly very common in
Indiana. notably along the Wabash river,
but at the present time ii Is comparatively
rare, and this is ascribed to the fact tina {
since quinine has become so cheap it is
taken in sufficient doses on the appearance
of any malarial symptoms. Formerly qui-
nine was very costly, used only as a last
resort and often in insufficient doses. Then,
too, since drainage has become so common
the breeding places of the mosquito, the
Swamps and pools, have mostly disap-
peared, thus reducing the number of mos
quitoes
ut does seem strange to one who has not
studied the subject TO be told that he can
get malaria from the bite of a mosquito,
yet such is the conclusion of scientists who
have studied the subject. The inhabitants
of an Anophees mosquito infected region
may indeed say. in the language of the
HoOsier poet: 'Malarial git you eff you
don't watch out "
