ALCOHOL AND THE DEATH RATE.

Switzerland Is a country In which
very little drunkenness is to be OBJ
served, for the good and sufficient rea'
son that tho police arrest on the spot
every person who shows the least sign
Of intoxication There is nevertheless
4 large amount of secret drinking, and
especially In French Switzerland ABB
sinthe has OF late increased in use till
its ravages are very noticeable.
The government recognizes the
drink problem as a most serious one,
and Ia doing all II can to find means
for It's control One OF Its recent in.
vestigations concerns the death rate
from alcoholism Statistics of this
nature are usually inaccurate. for the
reason that II is often impossible TO
nnd out Just to what extent a de
ceased person has been given to the
use OF liquors. Relatives and even
physicians conceal the facts out OF the
natural desire TO protect the dead
mans good name Two years ago the
Swiss government established, how
ever, system under which the facts
can be secured without revealing the
identity of individual drunkards. Doc
tors are required TO make full reports,
but on blanks that bear numbers in
stead of names. Only by circuit
GUS method involving application to
the central government at Berne can
names ever be connected with the re-
ports.
Tho facts thus collected show that
among males over 90 years of e9e the
deaths from delirium tremeus average
half OF one per cent, This Is ten
times the rate officially recorded In
France by the old and imperfect sta.
tistlcal methods.
For males over 10 years of age al
cohol is given as the principal or con
comitant cause of death in 10 per cent
of the cases.
The general death rate directly re
ferable TO acute or chronic alcoholism
without including hepatlc cirrhosis or
other subsidiary conditions. Is per
cent.
This showing must admittedly be re-
garded as an alarming one, and as
sufficient justification for the most
strenuous efforts In the cause OF tenn
perance The worst of II is that there
IL no reason to believe that the Swift
zerland death rate would appear ex-
ceptlonally high If the real facts for
other nations were known.

ing that he had absolute assurance.
that If the appointment came TO Col
orado, 1t would come to him.
About four weeks ago Mr.. Farley
made formal application for the posi-
ton by personal letter TO President
Roosevelt, and he acknowledged today
that he has since received from the
White House a reply assuring him that
the President would give the applica-
ton as much favorable consideration
as was possible under existing condi-
tions.

ment," said Mr.. Farley this morning.
However" he continued. II am not
at all certain that the appointment
will come to Colorado. 1t may go to
one OF the eastern states since large
number of eastern senators have their
candidates The names OF these men
am not at liberty to -divulge One
thing am certain of. and that Is that
If the appointment comes to Colorado
shall get It, There can be no ques,
ton about that"
liam II. Hunt, the present governor of
Porto Rico, Will resign within the next
four weeks, and Mr.. Farley believes
that the appointment of Governor
Hunts successor will be made some
time before February /. Governor
Hunts term does not expire until De-
cember, 1905. However, on account
of failing health. as well as his candi-
dacy for a Judgeship, 1t Is believed
that his resignation will be presented
to President Roosevelt In a short time.
The remuneration is said to be $4,000
per annum.
Mr.. Farley is receiving the indorse-
ment OF all of Colorado's representa-
tives in congress, not only of the Re-
publican congressman. but of Senators
Patterson and Teller. When asked
about the support of Senators Teller
and Patterson, Mr.. Farley stated to-
day that. while he had not asked them
to support his candidacy. yet he un-
derstood that they intended to give
him their entire support.
Mr.. Farley was,born in Missouri in
1850, and came to Colorado Springs
26 years ago. since his residence here.
he has been prominently identified
with the interests of Colorado Springs.
He has been eminently successful as
a business man. He has always taken
the greatest interest in municipal al
fairs. and was elected city treasurer
for three terms. from 1886 to 1892. He
was also member of the board OF ed
ucation for long time, and is now
president of the Chamber of Com.

Mr. Farley has ALSO rendered great
service to the Republican party OF the

DEATH OF BISHOP
LEONARD At SALT LAks


The RI. Rev Abial Leonard. d. d..
bishop of the Episcopal church died
this morning at his home In Salt Lake
City. Bishop Leonard. though always
active and apparently robust man.
has not been well for some time. Word
was not received here, however. OF his
failing health until Nov. 10. when a
letter was received from his son Rob
ert Leonard that the bishop was Ill
and that he would not be able to at
tend TO any church duties for some
dime, No news as to the nature OF the
bishops last illness has yet reached
this city. The church people here
we're hoping for the news of his con-
yalescence when Rev. Mr.. Ostenson
received telegram this morning con-
talning the sad news OF his demise.
The funeral will take place In Salt
Lake next Saturday at 3 O'Clock.
The bishop leaves a wife and FIVE
children two of whom are accomplish
ed young ladies'; two little girls not
Jet In their teens, and Robert. a son
OF II years.
The bishop was born and brought
up in the state of Missouri. and was
first cousin of the Hon, Adair VIII
son OF this state. He graduated from
4 New England college. and from the
General Theological Seminary In New
York city He was rector of the
Episcopal church In Achison, Kansas.
rom which place he was elected bish-
op of Nevada and Utah In 1888 to sue
ceed the ri. Rev Daniel s. Tuttle.
who had been elected bishop OF Mis-
iouri and is now the presiding bishop
II the Episcopal church in America.
since Bishop Leonard's election to the
lGpiscopate, the boundaries OF his do
rese have been changed so that the
diocese now contains the state of
Utah, half of Nevada, WESTERN Colo

Still After Roosevelt.

MThey are working all sorts OF
schemes to discourage the candi
dacy of President Roosevelt for a
second term, the latest of which is
the verdict of history. 1t is now
pointed out that five Vice. Presi.
dents OF the United States have
succeeded to the presidency by the
death Of the Chief Executive
John Tyler, who succeeded VIM
Henry Harrison, Willard Fillmore,
who succeeded Zachary Taylor ;
Andrew Johnnon, who succeeded
James A. Garfield, and THEODORE
Roosevelt. who succeeded William
Mckinley. OF the four who pre-
ceded Mr.. Roosevelt, all had ambi-
ton to be elected President, but
none succeeded and only two sue
Ceede0 III SeCGlng their name plac-
ed before the next national con-
yention. In short, it is pointed
out that no accidental President"
has been elected President of the
United States.
1t remains to be seen, first of
all, whether OF not Mr.. Roosevelt
will be nominated; and, if nomi-
mated, whether or not he will be
elected. But If the Democrats are
wise in their choice of a candidate
and i'll making a platform, we have
very serious doubts of Mr.. Roose-
