A BOND OFFER

The Birmingham Ledger few days ago made the statement that a proposi- ton had been submitted to Governor Jelks. by New York company to take up the whole bonded debt of the State and refund in 3 per cent bonds. The proposition further proposed an issue of No,o 900 on which annual interest would be ssoo, 900. The States bonded debt ac- cording to the last Auditors report is @, ,357, 500 on which the present interest is s44s, ,6e0 The offer of the New York company only proposed to take up Class A and bonds aggregating T427,0oo and for the $1O, 900, 900 issue the State will only pay ssOoOoO interest for fifty years. The difference between the amount of A and B bonds and the $10.oo0O0O will be used as sinking fund and at the end of fifty years the whole issue will be paid and the State be out only interest for fifty years. This proposition, however, leaves out of calculation class c bonds and per cent funding bonds aggregating 2.5eS .ooo For them provision would still have to be made by yhe Governor. The State cam not increase It's bonded debt and therefore the New York offer of S1o.0Oo.00O of new bonds and still leaving $25ss, 900 old ones outstanding does not come within the constitutional provisions.

A aEoaRAPHICAL CONJUNCTION

Of the thousands of people who look at maps and atlases there is probably not one in ten thousand who notices that there is one place in the United States where four States, or two States and two Territories. all corner together. These are the States of Utah and Colorado and the Territories of Arizona and New Mex ico. all of which meet, and 1t Is the only place in the Union where such a geo. graphical feature Is found. If an accu- rate survey were made, and the lines properly run. a mile post of ordinary size could be so placed that each of it's four corners would be in a different State or Territory It is true that this survey has not been made, for the imaginary corner no effort has been made to locate the exact spot, but If all the lines were pro- longed 10 their meeting point one post would mark a corner of two States and two Territories.
 Now. if this four-cornered spot was in a thiekly settled community. 1t can be imagined that some perplexing as we'll as ludicrous complications would ensue. For example, man could build a dwell- ing so that one-fourth of it would be in each State and the man would practically be resident of four States, or of either of them. If he committed crime in one he could escape to another while the of- ticers were coming in at the front door, and if the man liked. he could have part of his family in each State and still all of them live together. It might happen, too, that the local laws of each of the States would be different and the resi- dent of the divided house would have to hustle to keep up with all of them. These are some of the complications which one can easily imagine might occur.

THE NEW CONSUMPTION
 REMEDY.

Ever since the medical world accepted the theory that consumption belongs to the list of contagious. or at least com municable diseases, renewed researches are being made for a remedy. Time was and not very long ago, when 1t was held that it was her. di .aly and that 1t could not be communicated from one person to another. And it Is not too much to say that medical men generally did not be- neve that there was any real cure for a ,ypical and well deveIoped case of con- sumption. It could be alleviated and in its earher stages might be checked, buE the medical world was skeptical about a positive remedy.
 The discovefy that this dread disease is caused by d pscuiIar microbe has stimu- lated eftor,s to ind both a D. eventlve and A cure.

 RepI esentative Newlands, a Nevada Democrat, is unduly impetuous in intro ducing a resolution inviting Cuba to be- come part of this country, first as a ter ritory and afterwards as a State. This will happen sometime, in obedience to natural laws, which may be neither evaded nor denied. The season for an- nexatlon has not yet arrived We prom ised Cuba her independence. and that pledge is now in process of swift and satisfactory fulfillment. We have rem dered easy her entry upon Q new na- tional life. and we are preparing to give her such farther material assistance as will result in the establishment of that industrial prosperity upon which the sta bility of all governments depends. We do not want Cuba in the sense that wo are insistent upon speedy annexation. We are ready to take her in whenever she wants to come: but we prefer that any movement looking to closer relations shall first of all. take definite form in the island republic. Therefore, Mir. New lands should not be precipitate. He need not worry lest Cuba close her eyes to the advantages to be derived from political union with the United States. The Cu- bans know what Is good for them. Just now they want to try their hand at self governml nt, It is our business to en. courage the experiment.. When 1t. fails. Cuba will probably be the first to ask that a hand stronger than her own shall resume the reins of power.

cooked the job Is failure. rare or underdone microbe comes up smiling as soon as he has time to cool of. They are vital in every part" and are as hard to destroy or discourage as mos- quitoes. Killing them may be possible, but the job is always doubtful.
 Considering the vitality and hang-on qualities of all the microbe family, is 1t likely that an electric shock VIII kill them without literally turning the patient in- side out? It would seem to a iayman that such a force as would kill a human being would not even jar a microbe True. they may discover kind of cleo tricity which will kill microbes and not hurt the patient, or they may invent some way to hit the germ and miss the patient. but we confess that if we had consumption, we should be as loss to decide whether it were better and safer to die from the disease or be shot to vantage in the latter method would be in its suddenness.
 And yet there may be something in this alleged discovery. after ali. There have been such wonderful advances in electric knowledge. in the uses to which 1t can be put and in the methods of con- trolling it that we have ceased to be surprised at any claim that may be put forth for 1t. and medical and anatomical knowledge has made such strides Of late years that we have also ceased to be as- tonished at any statements we read about the human body. Feats are performed both in medicine and surgery now which would have seemed miracles half cen- tury ago, and such advances have been made in scientific discovery that 1t is hardly safe to deny any theory that may be set up. And so 1t may be that medi- cal and electrical science may discover a way to kill consumptive microbes with out danger to the patient. Still we should feel just a trihe skittish if we were to be experimented on.

HAIL PLAN FOR CUBA.
Men of Both Parties Like Annexa-
 ton Bill.

From Washington to Chicago Chronicle.
 Mir. Newlanus's resolutions providing Tor the peaceabie annexation of Cuoa are of Congress that their passage Is fore gone conclusion fathe managers of the House will consent to their beng report- ed from the Committee on Ways and Means. A hurried canvass of the House made by friends of MT. Newlands has disclosed that the sentiment in favor of annexation Is overwhelming. It is enter tained by Democrats ana Republicans alike. Belief Is deep seated that the only solution of the economic and commercial problems which have been created by our establishment of a Republican form ot government in Cuba is the bringing of that island into the United States as a territory.
 There is a large element in the House much larger than has ever been publicly ban annexation. If the Republican lead CTS should decide to make use of the ideas contained in MT. Newlands's bill they will do so by incorporating them in @ 2 Slll prepared by the Republican ma; ma; Means This Is the usual method pur- sued by the party in power to prevent the minority from obtaining credit for popular idea.
 Senator Platt of Connecticut, Chairman of the Committee on Cuban Relations, makes the following statement of his po- sition on the question of reciprocity with Cuba:
 T am a protectionist and have been so much so that I have been called partisan. l am as strong protectionist now as ever. but I believe that proper and reasonable tarin concessions can be made on Cuban products in return for Cuban tariff concessions on American products which would greatly benefit the trade of both countries and not apprecia- bly, injure any American industry
 T think the cause of protection is be- ing wounded in the House by it's pro- fessed friends and that the free trader cannot inture the cause of protection as much as protectionists who insist upon unreasonable and unnecessary customs duties"
 Senator Platt's statement is accepted in Washington as a warning to the Repub- lican leaders of the House that if they do not follow the Presidents advice they must expect to have a Cuban reciprocity bill sent to them from the Senate.

A HARRISON BOOM.
Eployes of Impoverished Chicago Go
 on . Long Trip.

Chicago Chronicle.
 Anti-machine Democrats who read the list of Burke Harrison Democrats who started on the County Democracy's Southern trip yesterday complain that the roster is made up for the most part of men who are on the city pay rolls and who are neglecting business at time when the city is in Such hard must be reduced. In the list are h. spectors of Police Hartnett and Heidel- meier, William J. Roach. chief clerk of the City Engineers office; E. B. Holman. of special assessments: J. J. Harlins, water assessor; Police Magistrates Doo- ley and Prindiville, Justices Edgar and Gibbons, Henry Lutzenkirchen. secretary of the Department of Public Works; NJ. P. Tferney.. Richard E. Burke and other assistant city prosecutors; H. Markham of the Fourteenth Street pumping sta ton and a long list of Justice Court bailiffs, ward foremen and clerks.
 Pat White. Superintendent of Bridges, is also on the list, as Is Bridgetender Clinton. Two members of the Board of Local improvements are in the party, also L. B. Gosselin. bookkeeper in the Bureau of Local Improvements.
 It Is figured that the trip is undertaken for the express purpose of booming May or Harrison for the Presidency and 1t IS said that many itin 1T ants were drafted by Burke and Harrison for the Dixie trip. -

 The following is copied from the Octo- Der number of Scripners Magazine IL was written by MaJor General Greene, of the United States army, the second Tn a series of papers on the history ot the united States army from US beginning 10 the present day:
 John C. CaInoun became Secretary or War in 1Sl7. and remained in office until the close of Monroe's administration, in lSL5. For the first time the War De- partment was administered by man of commanding talent, and he impressed upon the army the marks Of his ability, which endured for full generation. He recommended legislation for the organiza- tion of the Staff Corps, which was adopt ed by Congress in ISIS and put into op- eration under his direction. The depart ments of the Adjutant General, Inspect ors, Juartermasters, Commissarfes, Pay masters, Judge Advocates and Surgeons were then organized substantially on the basis which continued until the law of l9Jl. Concentration ot responsibility, econ omy of administration, the rigid ac- SOuntabilty for materials as well as for money, were the guiding principles of the system which he put into operation. In the line he organized the artillery into regiments, and adopted the ten-company regiment for the infantry. which was well adapted to the conditions of his time, although 1t survived many yeaIs after modern firearms had made it un- suitable, and 1t was only changed in 1o9S. lie fostered the Military Academy. sup porting Colonel 1mayer in all his meas- ures for it's improvement and keeping the corps of cadets at its minimum strength. He first pointed out the ne- cessity of having thoroughly trained officers, and an efficient staff in time of peace, combined with minimum of enlistend men which could be increased to its maximum in war. In connection with the reduction of 1921, he drew up plan by which the enlisted strength Of a company in time of peace would be only thirty-seven men. but which on the outbreak of war could be increased to seventy-seven. and by making two bat talons in stead of one in each regiment the army could he expanded from 6OOO to lS.OOO men with only adding 50 per cent. to the number of officers. In the two reports which he made to Congress In ISIS and 1920. he set forth the true

STILL TRYING TO DECEIVE.

Those who have failed to pay their poll tax are disfranchised, and If there is any provision for them to ever pc again en- franchised under the new Constitutlon' we have failed to discover the clause.
 The above totally misleading statement from The Marion County News is on par with most of its incorrect arguments in connection with the new Constitution. A man liable to poll tax who failed to pay 1t in time cannot vote at the next election, but before the election in 1904 he can qualify himself as a voter by pay ing his poll tax for that year and all arrears since the Constitution became operative. In other wordss he can en- franchise himself in future just as he could before February l. but will have to pay any and all poll taxes due at that time. If The News cannot understand the language of the Constitution when 1t reads it, it should get some sensible man to explain 1t, and if 1t can and does un- derstand it's language. the paper should quit misrepresenting it
