SAY THE MOSQUITO IS GUILTY.
Six Doctors Declare That Yellow Fever
Germs Are Carried by the Insect.

The International Quarantine Bureau in order
determine whether it is safe to base quarantine
regulations on the theory that the mosquito is the
only means of transmitting yellow fever, has been
inviting answers from prominent doctors who have
had experience with yellow fever to the following
questions:
Do you believe that the mosquito is the only nat
ural means by which yellow fever is convened?
If not what other?
In publishing the answers received to these oues-
lions the bureau has chosen to make public first the
answers Of those who have served in Cuba and
have made experiments there. a circular issued
yesterday gives answers from six doctors all Of
whom believe that the mosquito is the only con-
Veyor.
The first letter is from DR.. W. c. Gorgas, as
sistant surgeon general. U. S. A, who had charge
of the sanitary work in Havana from 1888 to 1902
He believes that the success of the sanitary work
in Havana demonstrates that the MOSQUITO Is the
guilty party. He says:

THE DIFFERENCES AT CARACAS.
Government Liability for Insurgent Acts a
Perplexing Question.

Washington, Aug. although not advised of the
reported differences between the various umpires
of the arbitration commissions now in session at
Caracas over the question Of government liability
for insurgent acts the officials here at all
surprised at the making of the issue. The subject
has veXed every International tribunal dealing with
war claims. and no exact law has ever been ap-
piled. The nearest approach to a rule governing
the matter is the generally accepted statement that
government is responsible for the acts of insur-
gents which 1t might have prevented. II is hoped
traton principle that the umpires at Caracas may
reach an agreement, so far as Venezuela is con-
cerned.

toty treaty before the beginning of the

The great difficulty will be to arouse
the special interests that will be benefited
by freer trade with Canada. II they can
be thoroly aroused the fight. SO far as the
United States side Of 1t goes, will be won.
II the National Reciprocity league can
succeed in stirring UP to active work those
business interests which need reciprocity
with Canada quite as much for their well
fare and growth as they and others need
protection as a general national policy,
it will win. The greatest obstacle will
be found In the ignorance Of many con-
corning the field Canada would offer them
under more favorable tariff arrangements
And even then it will be hard to get them
to do the work that counts. To work 70,
protection has become habit. Recipro-
city is something new, and the habit Of
pushing it must be formed. But Mr.. Hay
is right. Tariff legislation is a tug Of
war between special interests. and the
interest that doesn't help itself gets M
help from the tariff gods.

The Outlook for Reciprocity.

In discussing in able fashion s'The Out
look for Reciprocity" the Boston Tran
script summarizes as follows a part Of
Mr.. Eugene G. Hays statement Of the
situation:
Mr.. Eugene q. Hay, counsel to the Min
nesota branch Of the National Reciprocity
League. has just published an interesting
monograph dealing with this subject in
its broad relations. He regards the out
look as hopeful, SO far as it bears upon
the arrangement of a convention between
the administrative branches of the two
governments, and while he looks for a
ratification OF any treaty that may be me-
gotiated, by the Canadian parliament, the
action OF our own congress Is more prob
lematical. If this country really wants
reciprocity, he tells us, the present is our
opportunity. We can only obtain it while
liberal government is in authority in
the Dominion. The manufacturing inter-
ests In Canada win oppose reciprocity, but
they are not an influential factor. The
only other great commercial interest that
will oppose 1t is the transportation bust
ness centering at the st. Lawrence.
The Transcript also quotes what Mr..
Hay says about the power at washington
Of one single special interest as against
the general interest unsupported, and
quotes this sentence from his conc ldsion:
II firmly believe that il the business in
terests that are In favor ofsand VIII be
benefited by Canadian reciprocity win use

The New Currency Proposition.

Senator Aldrichs subcommittee has de-
vised a financial bill looking to currency
reform on the lines Of the Aldrich bill of
the last session Of congress, Whlcn pro-
vided that both internal revenue and Gus
toms receipts may be deposited In national
banks secured, not only by government
bonds, but by state and municipal bonds
The new measure adds the best class OF
railway bonds as security for the safe
keeping and repayment Of funds deposited
with the nationals, and permits nationals
to issue currency up to the par OF the gov
eminent bonds deposited as security for
such currency issues. There is no radical
change, by this plan. In the present sys-
tenn. The national banking law permits
the deposit with the treasury department
as security for the safe-keeping and re-
payment of government funds deposited
with the nationals, Of other than United
States bonds. as was done last autumn. on
Secretary Shaw's motion. The measure
would release to considerable extent the
government bonds deposited as security for
deposits and these could be used as secu-
rity for currency issued, which would be
In volume up to the par Of the bonds
4; Such a measure would be far more likely
to be passed by congress than one of q
more radical or revolutionary character
On the eve Of presidential election,
! moderate measure would not be offensive
The subcommittee proposition. while not
producing what is called an "elastic cur.
rency," would increase the volume of cir
culation up to the always expected autumn
demand. An elastic currency is one
which automatically expands and con
tracts, according to the needs Of business
AT present we have the means for expand
ing tho currency, but no process for con
tracing it when needed.

A GAME TWO COULD PLAY
New York Times.

No one but the very closest observer
might have guessed that she was an art
list, so artfully had she disguised her pro-
fesion. Not a vestige Of the artistic
abandon" was discernible about her dress
no concessions to color schemes, no
odd shapes or. fabrics-but a very correct
and stylish tout ensemble gave her quite
the appearance Of a leader of fashion
rather than worshiper of the paint brush
and easel. To the close observer, how
ever, the large but neatly tied package
would have been the telltale sign-for it
certainly couldn't possibly contain any
thing else in the world than sketches.
She was in a Sixth avenue elevated train
and was tired. She sank into one Of the
cross seats, put her package behind her,
and leaned back YEARLY. She had been

had all been so encouraging, but. Pub
fishers have way of being encouraging,
encouragement. especially when it Is Of
the purely verbal variety.
Opposite sat a young man with all the
earmarks of an artist He had the hair.
the collar, the necktie, and the inspired
look. He even wore the soft hat and OK
ford shoes with broad ribbons that are
sometimes adopted by the ultra of his
profession. He sat and squinted at the
girl for long time before she noticed
him. When she did turn toward him he
had already taken out a little pad and
pencil and had closed one eye, half closed
the other, and was then graVely taking
her perspective It was the calmest cool
est thing one could wish for. The girl felt
the blood mount to her cheeks. To speak
to him and demand that he cease his inn
pertience would mean possible greater
irnpertinence on his part. There seemed
to be no redress.
Suddenly she had an idea. She calmly
leaned forward. produced the large pack

tie silver pencil, and, closing one eye and
squirting the other she began to care

A look Of surprise, then uneasiness, Their

of the young man. He hastily replaced nis

Old Soldiers in Carriages.

The public Is familiar with the stereo-
typed parade program announcement Of
prominent citizens In carriages" On
Memorial Days this is often accompanied
by the hard fact of old soldiers on foot.
It Is time that we had a new order. Let
the prominent citizens walk and the old
soldiers ride.
The public has little curiosity or inter-
est in the prominent citizen, but 1t adj
It Is said on good authority that every
Memorial Day parade costs some old SOL
dier his life or serious impairment of his
health. Indeed, it would be strange If 1t
were not so. A little figuring shows that
very few Of the veterans Of the civil war
are under so years Of age. and most Of
them are probably weaker at their age
than men who did not suffer the hardships
they did in youth. Moreover, they arc
for the most part engaged In occupations
They work themselves harder on Memorial
Day than on any other day In the year,
yet they are not in way prepared for
such exertions.
The old soldiers are going fast enough
in these days, without being called upon
to commit unintentional suicide.
The managers Of the Minneapolis Me
mortal Day parade have provided car
riages for the old soldiers and urge them
to use them, leaving only those to walk
who insist upon it. As matter of pride
and to prove that gray hairs and bent
forms are not all of old age many of the
men of ''the great war; as President
Roosevelt delights to call it, will insist or
walking, but no veteran will be forced tt
stay out of the parade because he doe.
not feel equal to the ordeal Of a lons
march on hot day.

BIOGRAPHIES AT a VENTURE.

The publishers are making mastery eff
forts to coax literary genius out of OBJ
scurity. They take their chances, Of
course, when they print long biographical
notices Of persons who appear as writer's
Of novels for the first time, assuming
that the biographed individuals are on
the highway to deathless fame This is
very liberal treatment on the part Of the
publishers, certainly. The private life OF
first novel writer's would be of some in
terest when the first novel makes a rec
ord Of large success and shows real
genius There is no use trying to make
a man or woman famous before he or she
has won any laurel wreaths. And then
some one may wEite a book and it may on
publication be what is called sue
cessful HIT and never write another
which the public will care to read. His
genius has exhausted itself in a single
effort. Mental sterility follows.
