At the Office of the surgeon general
of the army full credence is given to
the cabled reports from the Philip
pines that there have been more than
Is, 200 cases and more than 1900
deaths from cholera in the Island of
Luzon alone since the outbreak of the
disease. In fact, it was admitted
that in the outlying districts Of the
island 1t is entirely possible that the
number of deaths may have exceeded
by three times the number reported to
the health authorities. In many of
the districts where the ravages of the
disease are most severe there Is no
way of obtaining reports of either
cases or deaths.

The gain of the eleven religious de-
nominations was 1927 per cent dur
ing the last decade considerably more
than the gain in population-and

Practical christianity which finds ex-

Aged Woman's Dying Message.

"With most peaceful good night
to you, and in the white radiance of a
bright eternity. / will bid you a
glorious good morning."
This is the way Mrs. Sarah A.
Smith, of Elkhart, closed the letter
to her friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson
Bresseu, written just before she took
fatal dose Of poison.
She was found dead Saturday morn
ing. She was seventy years old, with
out a relative, homeless and despon-
dent. The letter said she preferred
death to returning to the Soldiers
Home. at Lafayette, to which she was
to return next Monday. Her deceased
husband was Colonel John Smith, Of
the Ninth Michigan Cavalry. and most
of her letter was written beside his
grave.
Mrs. Smith was born and reared
near Plymouth and is well known IN
this city. Her husband died twenty
five years ago, and she had no living
relative.
Two of their three sons died and
were buried in California. The third
was drowned in the Missouri river and
his body was never recovered. One

Michigan City May Get Prize.

There is good chance of Michigan
City capturing the next naval train
ing station to be established some-
where on the great lakes, according
to information obtained at the navy
department. The report of the board
Of officers investigating sites has been
completed, but will not be made pub
lie till just before congress meets. If
the site recommended is accepted,
money will be appropriated to estab-
lish the station.
The points urged in favor of Michi-
gan City were that it is the only lake
port town in Indiana, and is the far
thest point from foreign territory of
any of the great lakes, and has har-
Dor extending inland one and one-half
miles, over which the government has
assumed Jurisdiction and has dredged
channel through part of 1t; also that
a superb site for a station could be
obtained near the harbor, consisting
of $40 acres of well wooded land, with
a fine stream traversing 1t.
While Chicago is making determ-
ined effort to secure the station, it is
deemed best by the navy department
not to locate the station too near a
great city, while at the same time
having it easy of access and on good
harbor. Michigan CITY answers these
requirements and II its people have
been liberal in the matter Of land for
a site, it is likely that place will be
favorably considered.

One feature of President Roosevelt S
speech last Saturday has occasioned
some comment. The feature is his
declaration. at least implicitly, In
favor of constitutional amendment,
giving sufficient authority to congress
for the control or regulation of all cor
porations whose business is of an
interstate or international character.
1t was not supposed the president
would 60 SO far as to hint that, in his
view, congress has insufficient author
ity now, or that the conditions are so
menacing as to justify an appeal to
congress, and then to the states. so a
constitutional amendment which
would give unquestioned authority to
congress may be secured.

"There is large amount of human
ity developed when men meet face to
face and talk from the heart. from a
sense of common brotherhood that
must be the foundation of the solu-
tion of the great economic questions.
"Surely as the country prospers and
the great commercial interests share
richly in that prosperity the conditions
Of laber should be bettered.
s'There must come time when
these great elements of capital and la
Dor, instead of waging war will ANAL
gamate. The movement has been
coming for years, and it will break
down prejudice and overcome ignor-
ance and go on to success. !"

The DISMAL Science"

Years ago one Thomas r. Nautilus
attracted attention in Europe by put
ting forth the opinion that the human
race was facing starvation because
population was increasing faster than
the capacity to produce food. He
backed his statement by mathemat-
ical computation, and upon his as
sumption made some suggestions of
methods to restrict the growth of
population. Able writer's promptly
refuted the Nautilus theory. Now
comes DR.. f. Benjamin Andrews,
who has been a somewhat cratic edu-
Gator, with an expression of a full be-
lief in the "diSmal science" DR..
Andrews has discovered that the
world s population doubles every fifty
years, and asserts if this goes on there
will be $4,000, 900, 900 where we now
now have 1,5OO, 900, 900. He declared
that if it were not for wars, diseases
and famines in the past the world
would now be SO denSely populated
that there would be scarcity of food.
This IS what Mr.. Nautilus predicted
years ago, and yet the inhabitants of
the civilized world have more food and
better housing than they had in his
time. If DR.. Andrews is right the
doctrine of the survival of the tittest
is the true economic theory, and those
diseases which SO thinned our popula-
tion before science took them in hand
should now be regarded as providen-
tlal and allowed to do their work.
Fortunately the history of the last
one hundred years does not tend to
sustain the views of DR.. Andrews.
The earth's population is increasing,
beyond doubt, but there is a large
portion of the earth'S surface yet un-
occupied. BY irrigation the United
States can greatly increase its produc-
tion of food and the area of standing
room, while more scientific agricult-
ure can double the product of the
country already settled. Indeed, the
more study one gives to the conditions
the less reason will be seen for revi-
val of the dismal science and of the
necessity of DR.. Andrews suggestion
that scientific men should devote
themselves to the solution of the
problem of preventing the increase of
