So far the Arkansas Senate heads the
list in freak legislation during the new
century, with It's bill to make people in
that state take out a license before being
permitted to drink intoxicating beverages.
Not only would it be impossible to enforce
any such regulation. but it would become
at once an object OF ridicule. Should the
remarkable measure, by accident, slip
through the House and be signed by the
Governor, the courts might be expected
TO kill it, on the ground that it is sumptu-
airy Legislation of the worst sort.

The report comes from California that
cancer has been cured in Oakland by the
use Of the X-ray. The case in question
was well advanced. After three months
Of daily application of the rays. the pa
tient was declared healed. DR.. Selfridge,
the attending surgeon. who claims that he
cured himself IN a similar manner, says
his theory is that the X-ray kills the
molecules which constitute the primal
cells where life actually begins, 1.-THE de-
terioratio or decay OF these molecules -
he says. Il judge, may cause cancer. The
X-ray has the effect OF drying up these
atoms and ultimately killing the disease.

Last January a negro was burned at
the stake in Leavenworth, Kan. Since
that time the father of the victim has
been trying to get indictments against the
leaders of the mob. He has, it is alleged,
produced eleven witnesses before the
county attorney who swore that they saw
w. c. Forbes set fire to the wood pile
around the negro, and that a certain city
official and a certain policeman aided and
abetted him in the act. No indictment,
however. has yet been forthcoming. There
is a possibility that indictments will be
found next Monday against several OF the
lynchers, but nobody expects that a YER
dict viii be returned against them

The Sun of New York prints the fol-
low paragraph: Salt Lake City and Sa-
vannah Ga, have about the same popu-
lation. Salt Lake City has 100 miles of
streets for police patrol; Savannah has
less than 100, but the number of police
men in Salt Lake City is less than one
third of what it is in Savannah and the
number of arrests in the Utah capital is
less than one-half the number in the
Georgia city-a creditable showing for
Salt Lake City"
There are two reasons probably why
more police are required in Savannah than
in Salt Lake City. One is that there is
a larger disorderly element in Savannah's
population. A large percentage of The
population is composed of negroes, and
they furnish the majority of the Grim
inals and other lawless persons. As a
rule, also, there is more lawlessness in
a seaport than in an interior town An
other reason probably is that the noun
tain air is SO braeing that a policeman in
Salt Lake City is able TO cover a larger
territory than policeman here in Sa-
vannah where the climate for a part Of
the year is rather too warm for much ex-
ercise.

British Congress on tuberculosis" is
to be held in London in July. While the
congress is to be British in name the hope
is to make it international in scope,
through the attendance of honorary mem
bers from Europe, Asia and America. The
foremost physicians of the United King
dom will submit papers on consumption,
and there will be a general discussion of
the disease, it's causes, how it is trans

MnRGAN,S MISSION.

There has been and still is a great deal
of speculation as to the cause OF Mt. j.
Pierpont Morgan's visit to England at
this time. When he left New York he
said he was seeking rest in a European
trip. Since his arrival in England doubt
has been expressed as to whether that
was the purpose of his visit. A cable to
the Herald says that there is a report in
Lombard street that he is being consult
ed by the finance minister of the British
government as to his ability to provide
funds to meet the deficit of the British
exchequer The amount Of the deficit is
about $2s7, 600.
1t appears that there is some doubt
about the ability of the government to
get loan in England at rate of inter-
est it is willing to pay. 1t would seem,
however that the government ought to
be able to borrow money at home at as
low a rate of interest as it could get in
this country. There is plenty of money
there that is waiting for opportunities for
investment. Surely the people Of England
have as much confidence in the ability
VI AlANAA ~ AAPNGN 40 OblASo~
tions as those of this country have. If
they have not they are worse shaken up
by the Boer war than they are generally
understood to be- If Great Britain cannot
stand the financial strain of a war with
two little republics in South Africa what
chance would she have of standing the
financial strain of a great war with this
country?
1t may be. however, that Mr.. Morgan is
not figuring on financiering Great Britain
out of her financial troubles, but is in
London with view of seeing what
chance there is for floating some of the
stock OF his billion dollar steel trust. 1t
is true that he has denied that he is
abroad on any such mission. but II would
not be surprising II he would like 10
place some of the stock OF his steel trust
in England. 1t is said that the amount Of
American securities held by English in
vestors is smaller now than It has been
in many years. Assuming that such is the
case it might not be such a difficult mat
ter to sell them some of the stock Of the
steel trust. Mr. Morgan can make 1t look
very attractive to them II anybody can.

In a principal street of Chicago a day
or two ago street car knocked down an
aged man and ran over his leg. A crowd
quickly gathered, believing that tragedy
was being enacted. Many willing hands
were stretched forth to pull the old man
from under the cruel wheels. His leg had
been crushed to pieces; but he didn't mind
it bit, except in so far as cost was con-
cerned. It was wooden. The old man said
he was just naturally compelled to

der the wheels, to notice the Mortified ex-
crowd.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Times Dem.) says:
From a military point of view, the de-
pendence of Great Britain upon foreign
food supplies has become a matter of
grave concern. Since both bTeadstuffs
and meats are so much more economically
obtained abroad. the domestic production
has naturally diminished, and it is clearly
a wise policy for the government to do
what is can to prevent its extinction.
Even were there not this need, Americans
are the last who can take exception TO
the public patronage of home markets.
We should insist upon a similar policy
and we have no right to complain be-
cause 1t is our OK that is gored"
The Charleston News and Courier
Dem.) commenting on the appointment
of Capt Capers to be district attorney,
and the talk OF an effort to build up
white Republican party in South Carolina,
says: 1.-THE fact that the white RepuD-
lican party will have to depend In large
measure upon the black Republican party
does not promise we'll for its success In
It's first campaign at least; and II the OH
Republican guard is 20 be thrown out
the chances are that the new lights will
not have the solid support OF the party as
II S. now organized. and without that
there will not be much chance OF the new
organization winning anything more than
the few Offices which the administration

The navy department Gould do no better
than establish one Of its torpedo boat sta
lions at this port. The advantages that
are offered by the situation are numerous
not the least among them being that the
boats could be left in fresh water until
such time as it was convenient 90 put
them on the marine railway. What that
means is well understood by every man
familiar with salt water navigation. The
transportation and other facilities of the
port are so well understood. by the navy
people as well as others. that II is un
necessary to recount them. There are a
