Mr. Hansen was arrested dur

ment charged with having sold
whislIey to the Indians then IN
town. He was given a trial IN
Justice Achenbach's court and
was dismissed. Judge Achen-
bach at the time stated there was
no doubt but that the liquor had
come from the Hansen saloon,
but the evidence failed to show
that it had been sold with the
consent or knowledge of the pro
prietor. 1t appears that a man
working about the place had Sc
cured the whiskey and later
taken it to the camping ground
of the Indians.

"The bear was standing in the

the men are those who enjoy Office by

Work at Panama.

From the Boston Transcript.
There will be work for this govern
ment to do in Panama, aside from
building the canal. when it proceeds to
operate in accordance with the terms
Of the new treaty. The old city of
Panama, which has a population OF
about 25,000 was settled i'm 1919. only
twenty-seven years after the first voy-
age of Columbus. The isthmus as a
whole is called an unhealthy country.
So was Cuba six years ago. and for
similar reasons. Sanitary science was
neither applied nor understood.
There is plenty Of good water in the
mountain streams of Panama, but nc
village or city has a water supply or a
sewerage system. The women wash
soiled clothes in the local Streams. anc
the people get their water from the
same sources, so after engineering skill
is no longer needed in the work OF
building the canal. it ought TO be di-
verted to purifying at least the cities
under one jurisdiction. Perhaps il
would be better TO give some attention
to that phase Of our responsibility first.
If the isthmus can be made clean and
healthy, the republic of Panama will
have reaped larger benefits from its
bloodless revolution than even those
which it anticipates.

EDITORIAL OPINION
The Downfall Of powie.
From the New York Sun.

from tlc new 1oik sun.
Dowie's bankruptcy and the ap-
pointment Of receivers for his property
at Zion City we're undoubtedly due i'm
mediately to his costly and disastrous
campaign In New York a few weeks
ago. Probably that desperate enter
prise was undertaken by him as a last
resort to save his falling fortunes.
Il Is an issue which was made inev-
liable when his New York campaign
proved so completely, even so ridicu-
lously unsuccessful, and his financial
downfall so soon after his return to
Zion city may be regarded as a. long
step toward the final overthrow of his
spiritual dominion.
Dowie's remarkable progress as a re-
ligious leader was due primarily to his
success In promoting the material in
terests of his followers. At least, he
could not have held the population OF
Zion City under his autocratic sway il
he had not looked after their material
well-being and generally improved
their condition. He gave them work
and incidentally he did them a good
service in cultivating in them habits
Of abstinence which helped them along
in the world. Morally, his rule seems

Zion City has been one of the mos
successful enterprises of the sort o
which we have an example, unbroker

inevitable criticism of the chief arises
and the absolute confidence his fol

leader is shattered. The complet,
breakup of his whole enterprise, finan.
cial and spiritual, seems therefore /,
be now assured.
II will not be a singular outcome
Such experiments almost invariably
have proved unsuccessful after brie
period of trial. The fanaticism out o
which they grow. up dies out. contro.

Peril in the Handkerchief.
From De MedleaI Reeord.

From the Medical Record.
It is in fact grave sanitary ques-
tion whether the handkerchief does not
do more harm than good, as it is or
dinarily used. When we assume that
the healthy nose does not need to be
wiped, we face a reasonably broad
proposition as to the danger Of the
handkerchief as a disease propagator
Most nasal catarrhs are of an infec-
tious character notably those of grir
origin.
Contrary to the general law Of asep-
sis, the handkerchief saturated with
disease germs instead of being prompt.
/ ly washed is slowed for hours in tn,
pocket, with a result that can be cas-
lily imagined. Is it any wonder thei
that catarrhs are constantly fostere,
| by "a system Of auto infection?

TIE ASSOCIATED CHARLES.

The Associated Charities have made
their annual appeal for funds to carry
on their work. The poor and the suf-
fering we have with us always and all
human instincts and all religious pre-
cepts impel us 10 care for them as
our means will permit. The ideal
charity is that where the individual
.ascertains the needs Of others and be-
slows his benencence unobuusively
and without display. But organization
$ one of The incidents Of civilization
and it has become necessary in char
ity.
There are so many demands on our
resources that were the average man
to bestow his gifts on all who ask, he
would soon become bankrupt and II
he were to attempt TO investigate each
case his time would all be disslpatcd
Consequently our charities have
been organized and the busy man gives
what he can and leaves it to experts
70 investigate all cases and TO bestov

ties on the persistent but worthless
imposter while the timld but worthy
are allowed to suffer.

THE IOWA IDEA.

Much has been said about the Iowa
idea" regarding our tariff. and an ef-
fort has been made TO make 1t appear
that the Republicans OF that great
state are dissatisfied with the stand
pat policy of their party. Albert b.
Cummins, Governor Of Iowa, has been
regarded as the leader of the idea" /"
whatever Il is. and therefore his speech
delivered before the Boston Merchants
Association last night may prove in
teresting
Summarized. his address calls for
two things: reciprocity treaties with
those countries whore the relation
would be beneficial to us. and an ad-
justment of tariff schedules. Regarded
as an academic question there is no es-
Gaping his conclusions. and the only
other question is a practical one: is it
expedient to disarrange business at the
present time to undertake tariff revis-
ion?
In speaking Of Reciprocity Governor
Cummins but follows the line Of argu-
ment which President Mckinley laid
down in his celebrated Buffalo speech.
He says that IL we can secure treaties
which will hurt nobody and that put
81 900 900 OF goods into our market and
allow us to put SiO,OoO.OOO of goods into
lother markets in exchange, there is no
argument against the policy. This is
part Of the Republican tariff policy,
and while free trade contemplates the
opening Of our markets to all. whether
the trade relation is beneficial or not
by reciprocity treaties we are able tc
select the country with which we can
trade most advantageously. That 6.
not only good Republicanism, bu
sound sense.
The other idea calls for an adjust
ment of tariff schedules, and Governo
Cummins says frankly that he regards
certain Of these schedules as too high
This has been construed by many al
demand for general tariff reduction
lDut ~ lSn any lulib OF lue hluu. NJ
body holds a tariff schedule as sacred
and no set Of schedules can be devised
which viii last more than ten years
without needing adjustment. This is
true OF the Dingley tariff law. a Law
under which our country has had un-
exampled prosperity. The only question
remaining when is Il desirable &c
undertake the work OF revision? Tn,
Republican leadersin Congress say thai
it is not now, and the sentiment Of IN,
country seems to justify them.
But Governor Cummins emphaucalls
proclaims his loyalty 10 the protective
principle. although the Democratic pa
pers have glossed over that fact. Foi
while protection undoubtedly has help
ed our manufacturers to make profit
and has assured to the wage-earnel
a moiety Of the proceeds, yet there
comes a point beyond which a hist
tarin is no protection.

LOOKS Ike RoosEvELT.

On the eve Of the meeting OF the Re-
publican national committee the gem
erai sentiment expressed by the lead
ers Of the principal States is decidedly
for the denomination Of Roosevelt.
OF course the Republican party is
not so poor in material that it has but
one possible candidate, ana Il is al
ways healthy and creditable to have a
list Of names from which Il is impossi-
bic to make bad selection. There has
never been a time since the organiza-
tion OF the party when there has been
any lack OF material, and certainly
were Mr.. Roosevelt declared out Of the
contest we should be able to make a
selection which would command the
respectful consideration OF the coun-
try.
But the general sentiment Of the
country is favorable to Roosevelt, and
were the convention to be held tomor-
row he would undoubtedly be the
nominee. Nobody, OF course. can say
what state Of mind win prevail by the
time the national convention meets.
but the President has held the support
OF the masses Of the people for more
than two years and in six months the
time will have come 10 name a candi-
date. The sentiments OF the national
leaders as expressed on the eve of tn,
a.
b significant. for although in an i'm
stances they may not reveal the rea
choice Of the speakers, they vet indi-
cate that in the judgments Of the mer
who make a business OF politics and
who are charged with the conduct OF
campaigns, the party proposes 10 ask
Mr.. Roosevelt 20 head the ticket.
Congressman Payne Of New York de-
clares that his state is for Roosevelt
and thinks there is mot the slightest
doubt Of his ability to carry the state
for the Republican party"
senator Kean says that Mr.. Roose-
Welt is the choice of New Jersey, and
that he viii carry that State by sub
stantial majority. II these men are
speaking for their respective organi-
zations then Mr.. Roosevelt has been
virtually pledged the delegates from
two great States that once were re-
garded as pivotal. II their estimates
are correct then it is something to
know that the party with Roosevelt at
the head OF the ticket can sweep New
York and New Jersey.
From the West comes an assurance
Of support from Committeeman New
Of Indiana. He says that Indiana will
not only urge Mr.. Roosevelts nomina-
t.on IN the convention next year, but
win give him her electoral vote. This
Is another State that the Democrats
hope 70 win; and with New York. New
Jersey and Indiana Republican. ths
Democrats would hardly have NOR,
votes In the electoral college than were
cast FOR Mr.. Bryan three years ago.
