ports from Great Britain. Mr.. RITCHIB
made matters worse by averring that
not only should no preference be given
TO colonial products. but the colonies
ought to contribute toward the sup
port Of the Imperial navy, upon which
they rely for protection IN time Of war.
The Canadians had already refused to
contribute penny for the purpose, even
while they had lingering hope Of secur-
ing some discrimination for their COM
modities in the British market. Now, of
course, their determination to thrust the
whole burden Of their naval defence upon
the mother country will be inflexible and
defiant.
We should now not be surprised to
witnessa collapse Of the loyalty which
of late years has been so rampant and
vociferous at ottawa and a resort to
reprisals in the way of repeating the
preference Of 80 is per cent. in favor Of
British goods.

For tho Expo triated Trophy.

To raise the money required for send.
ing team to Bisley to compete for the
Palma trophy, which was won away from
this country last year. the National Rife
Association has invited q number of
gentlemen, each to make himself one of
fifty to underwrite In equal shares that
part OF $4,000 which the National Rife
Association may not be able to raise by
popular subscription.
So far, four gentlemen are reported to
have entered upon this agreement. The
maximum subscription for each Of the
fifty would be less than $780, PROMPT,
favorable and enough responses should
DO received by the association before
another week is out.
Sir THOMAS LIPToN has spent, single
handed, over million Of dollars to bring
the Americas Cup to It's original homo.
Ten thousand dollars from fifty American
citizens for bringing the Palma trophy
home doesn't seem very much In COM
parison. For the matter Of that, even
II there were no trophy in the case rife
shooting would be worth cultivating
simply for itself; see the recent report to
the Secretary Of War by a board Of off,

Names for Our warships.

In another place to-day appears an
interesting article by Commander SEAToN
SCHROEDER, U. s. N, on the names Of
our war vessels. His article ia timely,
for Rear Admiral BowLEs, Chief Con-
structor Of the. Navy, has just recon-
mended to the Secretary Of the Navy
that the new training vessels provided
by the last appropriation bill be named
the Hornet, the Peacock and the Boxer.

second war with England.
Commander SCHROEDER appeals FOR
the restoration of such famous names 10
the navy list 1to maintain the traditions
Of the service THE Sun has several
times commented on the fact that the
vessels that made history during the
Revolution and the War Of 1912 have
almost no namesakes in the new navy,
and has pointed out the advantage to be
gained in fostering pride in the service
among officers and men by bestowing
the names of historic ships on the vessels
we build nowadays. The article by Com
mander SCHROEDER, coming close upon
Admiral BowLEs's suggestion, shows
that the navy itself il anxious for the
restoration Of the old names.
1t is probably necessary that each
State shall have its pride gratified by the
bestowal OF its name upon some battle
ship or armored cruiser. but AZ soon as
The newest State has been 80 honored

Shortly after District Attorney JEROME
took Office. WILLIAM N, AMoRY laid before
him his tale Of the looting OF the treasury

him TO institute criminal proceedings against

Typhoid Fever and the Filtration Of
Drinking Water.

On moro than one occasion during tn
last year THE Sun has called the attention
OF it's readers to the fact that drinking
water is the chief carrier OF the germs OF
typhoid fever. A serious outbreak Of this
disease in one Of the most popular private
military schools in the United States was
then in progress, many Of the pupils
were stricken down, and several died.
1t was shown then that the water supply
to this institution was from an artesian
well carefully guarded from contamina-
ton, and yet a defective sewerage pine
was discharging It's myriads Of typhoid
germs into this well.
The relation OF the water supply to
this disease has again been emphasized
by the deplorable epidemic still pre-
vailing at Ithaca, while another serious
outbreak is now raging in neighboring
city in Pennsylvania.
In the Nev York Medical Journal OF
Nov. 20, 1902, is a very interesting publ-
cation upon this subject by Prof A.
SEIBEBT, M. D., Of the New York Poly
clinic Medical School and Hospital, an
active practitioner of medicine in this
city and a recognized authority on hy-
giene. His studies here and abroad in
connection with cholera infantum have
attracted q great deal of attention in
Europe and America. Hh latest work
upon the relation Of typhoid epidemics
and typhoid mortality to water filtration
should be carefully studied by all in
authority who are responsible for the
water we drink.
Prof. SEIBERT has analysed the death
rate from this disease in several Of the
larger cities OF Europe. among them
and Berlin, and shows that
for ten years prior to the installation Of
filter plants the death rate reached az
high as one in every 2,6Oo inhabitants.
For the six years after filtered water was
furnished the death rate sank to one In
II 900.
In the United States, in those cities
where the water supply Ia derived from
polluted sources, as Is the case
With Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago and |
St. Louis, the necessity for thorough |
filtration is emphasized. All hygienists
ccognize the fact that there In no abso-
ute immunity from typhoid infection
Except where the organisms are killed
" boiling; yet there is so much protection
ecured from thorough filtration that no
water supply to any community should be
Without a filtration plant.
