LoNDoN'S SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC

4ne doctors agree in foretefffne q more serious outbreak of smallpox in The spring. but. as the number of cases already reported has reached as mucn as fifty odd in a single day. wa need not wait till the spring to con- slaer the seriousness of the position. The government, having made the gr1eVous mistake of permitting the conscience clause have an immense ra sponsibility laid upon them. Without suggesting the need for any extreme alarm for the moment, it is necessary to ask If the government have realized their responsibility and are taking ey- cry possible precaution. The statis- Ilcs of the outbreak till the end of the year show that the mortality among the yaccinated is minute in the case or people from one to twenty years of age; there was, in fact. only one death as compared with nineteen deaths among the unvaccinated. But in per sons between twenty and sixty years old there were thirty nine deaths among the vaccinated and three among the unyaccinated. The figures, of course, give imperfect information
 
 of the numbers of vaccinated people fo unvaccinated. but they show con clusiyely that vaccination is an almost certain prophylactic for a consider able period, but that after that period has been passed representation is es- sential.
 The most remarkable fact in this outbreak has been the small number of children attacked; very large number of the deaths are of people between the ages of twenty and forty Unfortunately. 1t is these people who are entirely neglected by public health officers. Every parent is no doubt of ficially informed of the duty of vac- clnating his child, but no person of mature years Is even reminded that vaccination is a duty which he owes to the community. Unless the public will appreciate of their own initiative the imperative nature of this precau- ton, the alarm which is rapidly grow ing and which the doctors are pooh- poohing, is likely to be more than jus tified Even in the west end people live at closer quarters than nature ap- proves of; and, if serious epidemic spreads. the responsibility will lie on the government; first, for the miser- able conscience clause: secondly, for inadequate insisteuce on the absolute need for re-vaccination.-L London Sat prday Reyiews

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUE

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 The wonderful Cole and De Losse in their sensational acrobatic work and bicycle riding on the slack wire are filling the Jacques every afternoon and evening this week, and the novelty act they present has already been hailed as one of the most attractive novelties that MT Poli has put forward at this house. Like the majority of these Eu- ropean novelties. Cole and De Losses act is something to create talk because of the wonder it arouses in everyone who sees it, and naturally enough the local public are discussing the act as one of as much interest as sensation alism. There is plenty of comedy ill the show, too, and it is of kind to keep an audience amused every min ute. Those who contribute the com edy are Mir and Mrs Neil Litchfield, Wolf and Milton, A1orrissey and Rich, Bartlett and May, German and West, and Rastus and Banks. Prices are 10 and 20 cents for the matinee, all ladies 10; evening prices for all, 10, 20 and 30 cents.

As a rule, the pesSimistic view Of
things Is 10 be depIored. As a rule,
the Pesimistic view of things goes
beyond the facts and makes infer
ences unwarranted. But, after long
contemplation of the international
Conference at the City of Mexico,
even the optimist wears a lugubrious
expression It has been long ses-
sion and, so far as the spectator can
comprehend, has accomplished prac-
tically nothing.
The Pan-American delegates went
to this meeting under the best of au-
spices. 1t was intended 10 bring the
American power and the lesser Amer
icas into a more fraternaI relation
ship and to correct some of the an
tagonistic policies of the several
American nations
Instead Of reaching an agreement
on the general proposition that there
shall be a happy family in the New
World, the conference seems to have
developed so many petty antagonisms
that there is little hope that perma-
uent good viii he achieved through
the deliberations.
The quarrel over eNtraditiou and ar
bitration is now occupying the boards
and there appears 20 be a sort Of
deadlock An Undercurrent of ana
mostly appears to be the ruling fac
tor and the south Americans cling TO
their petty animosities with the pro
verbal determination of the drowning
man who found "a straw.
Perhaps nothing would be more
pleasing TO the North American ear
than the strains of a grand. sweet
song" Of peace and harmony from the
City of Mexico, but the international
orchestra seems to be taking a day
of.

Expansion Of the Capital.

Inasmuch as Congress is to have a
long session, Washingtonians are led
10 hope that the Solons on Capitol
Hill viii find time 10 listen TO the ar
guments I'm behalf of local improve
ment and Development. The persist
ent advocacy of this cause may grow
monotonouS both TO the National
Legislators and the cheerfuIly con
servative elements of the government
tai centre. but il Is only persistency
that wins in this vale Of tears.
Washington is the official home Of
the Senators and Representatives.
For that reason they should have at
least friendly interest in the scheme
for its betterment. 1Ie Isthmian
Canal project the expansion of the
navy, and the settlement of colonial
questions are important. but so is the
Washington growth problem, and the
energetic spirits here are determined
that something shall be done, even
though it be far short of what was
hoped for.
The Capital City programme should
be considered IN the light of pat
riotic enterprise The immortal
George did his best in founding the
municipality to give 1T the proper inn

Congress should be Influenced by the
same spirit and do all I'D its power 10

a. the Capital of the Greater America.
