BOUND TO REVOLUTE.
South American Republics Cannot
Become Peaceable.
Repeating Rines and Cannon Have
Failed to Work Cure-The Ba-
clIIus of strenuosity In
Constantly mt Work.

If some of the learned scientists who
are devoting their talents to the study
of germs would turn their attention
to South America and the islands of
the Caribbean, they might make dis
coveries which would prove blessing
to mankind in that disturbed quarter
of the world. Why should the South
American and the West Indian take to
riot and revolution as naturally as
duck does towater? asks the Baltimore
Sun. Is it because they are Of a fiercer
and more turbulent disposition than
the inhabitants of other parts of this
hemisphere, or is it because they are
the victims of sinister bacilli, germs
of rampant and irresistible strenuos-
ity?
Not long ago an American savant
announced that in certain parts of the
United States there is bacillus which
makes its way into the bodies of its
unfortunate victims and produces an
inyincible aversion to physical and
mental activity. If there is germ of
inertia, why shouldn't there be bacil-
lus Of pernicious activity and misdi-
rected strenuosity as well? 1t is not
fair to the South American brethren
to assume that they are totally de-
cutting and other bloody diversions
from pure love of doing evil In some
degree. at least, they have been under
the influence of American and Euro
pean civilization for a great many
years. To some extent they have in
PRODUCED the forms of civilization into
their governments and social institu-
tions. Yet, despite their contact with
citizens of the most enlightened ma
tions and their commercial and diplo-
matte relations with Europe and the
United States, they have scarcely more
respect for law and order than the
human race displayed in the days of
primitive man.
If there are bacilli in the western
hemisphere indigenous to the tropical
regions which incite people against
it's will and natural disposition to COM
NIT deeds Of violence and murder
savants ought to be able to find rem
edy. The antidote commonly used in
cases of pernicious strenuosity has not
proved a success. Repeating rifles,
bayonets and cannon have failed to
work a cure. When the South Amer
lean has introduced the germs Of revo-
luton and riot into his body nothing
will deter him from stirring up trou-
ble-not even the fear that he will be
shot or bayoneted to death. When he
is under the influence Of the bacillus
of strenuosity-and that seems to be
chronic condition with him-heis like
the Malay fanatic who runs amuck,
killing right and left. The scientist
who discovers the remedy for this dis
ease will deserve much of mankind.
1t would be one of the greatest tri-
umphs of this century if the ever-war-
ring inhabitants of the Latin-Amer-
lean republics and of Hayti were in
oculated with the bacilli of slothful-
ness and reduced to state of innoc-
uous inactivity. The implements of
war have failed to produce the desired
result. Now let science take a hand
and if possible transform the turbu-
lent folk of the tropics into peaceful
and law-abiding citizens of the new
world.

KAISER INVITES AMERICAN SQUADRON TO
VISIT KEEL DURING WORK OF THE REGATTl
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington, March s5.--The Post will
say today: Emperor William of Germany
has given further striking proof OF his de-
sire to maintain friendly relations with the
United States. In personal cablegram to
the president, he has invited the fleet of
the United States in Atlantic waters to
visit Kiel during regatta week in May.
The emperor's message will not be made
public until the president has sent his re-
ply. 1t is believed, however, that the in
vitation has its birth in the announcement
recently made by Secretary Moody that the
fleet would go in May on cruise across
the ocean with Lisbon as its destination.
Since the receipt OF the emperor's invita-
tion, ii has been a subject OF careful con-
sderat'on between the president and
cabinet. There is reason to believe that
the navy had practically decided to aban-
don the cruise to Lisbon, because OF publi-
cations in regard to the lessons that would
be learned by il and which it was appre-
hended might create an unpleasant inn
preston in Portugal. That the invitation
would be declined was the general impress
sion after the meeting of the cabinet yes
terday, but the declination will be couched
in terms which would in nowise be Of
fensive to the German emperor and the
German people.
The squadron invited by the emperor is
one Of the best in the American navy, the
Illinois being the flagship.

THEY WERE ANXIOUS TO
HAVE A DRAFT CASHED

King comes from Duluth, MINI. lie
says that his companions in the Mizpah
saloon had been somewhat anxious to have
him cash a draft which he said he had on
his person. Detective Murphy and the
prosecuting attorney talked with Harris
and McNaly this morning. Both men
deny their guilt and say that King when
they last saw him, was succumbing to the
effects Of whisky.
Chloral poisoning is regarded by the
police and by physicians as enc of the
most dangerous methods toward robbery
used by thugs. In many cases the effects
of the drug result in the death OF the VIC
tim. II is rather easily distinguished by
its symptoms, and these, it is stated, King
showed plainly.

Telegram From Salt Lake
Asked to Have Him
Taken Up Here.
He FITS DESCRIPTION
Morris Has. Hired an At
torney and Will Fight
the Arrest.

A neatly dressed man Of medium height,
wearing red mustache and answering to
the name of l.. {. Morris, is in the
county jail. The prisoner says that he is
a man of family and that his home is in
Anaconda.
He was picked up last night by Deputy
Sheriff Burke and is said to be wanted
in Salt Lake City for forgery. The
amount OF money that Morris, or his
double with a similar name, obtained is
not known, the telegram which reached
the sheriff's Office last night simply say
ing: Arrest L. c. Morris for forgery"
Then followed a description of the man
wanted.
Burke, among the other deputies, was
furnished with the description and shortly
after Q O'Clock spotted the man now
behind the bars OH Broadway.
Hello there, Norris" said the dep
uty.
The man turned, and in answer TO ques-
tions, said his name was l.. {. Morris.
You're the man | want then" said the
deputy Il have orders TO arrest you for
forgery committed in Salt Lake City"
Morris demurred but without avail and
was taken to the county Jail and locked
up in the witness room, pending further
advices from the Mormon metropolis
Seen today. Morris declares that he is a
victim of mistaken identity and that he has
not been in Salt Lake City for long time.
He asserts that he has been working in
the smelters at Anaconda for several
months and that while he may fit the de-
scripton OF the man wanted he can prove
an alibi
He has secured the services Of an attor-
ney and il is probable that he will seek
freedom by means of habeas corpus.
