TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN IN

A leading London Journal in its lat

once to be placed In the background.
We refer to a large purchase OF ma
chinery which has just been made by
the war office for installation in
Woolwich arsenal. The machines,
consisting Of a set of eight clever in
struments for the manufacture of ar.
tillery carriage and wagon wheels,
have been obtained from our 60
ahead cousins Of Defiance, Ohio. SO
superior are they in the matter OF
rapid work to our old methods, that
the arsenal can now turn out ten
times as much finished material rs
1t could do previously. Both Russia
and japan have for some years adopt
ed these wonderful engines. and as
they were being supplied to other
great military powers OF Europe, It
was deemed advisable by the war
office to place itself on level terms
with these countries. The authori.
ties, however. did not order the ma
chimes until they had sent a special
commission round to all the likely
firms OF machine manufacturers In

SENATOR BUTTONS DEMURRER

COME OF OUR UNITED STATES
- senators have rather peculiar no
tions OF ethics. This observation is
elected by the action OF Senator Burton
Of Kansas in interposing q demurrer TO
save himself from trial on a charge OF
using his official position to save a eli
ent from prosecution by the postoHce
department. In his demurrer he alleges
that the postohice department had no
authority 10 issue a fraud order against
the Rialto Grain & Securities company,
the client OF Senator Burton.
We trust the senator VIII pardon Us.
but we fan 10 see how the. question Of
jurisdiction can cut any figure at this
time. The point is this: Did Senator
Burton accept q fee for using his sen-
atorisI influence with the postomce de-
partment2 That is what he was in
dicted for. If he is innocent he has
nothing To fear from q full and fair
presentation Of all the evidence and
the facts in the case. If he is not limo

so much FOR interposing his demurrer.

ACCURATE MICRoBE FIGURES.

How He REACHED FIGURES so
II exact is for him 20 say and not
for Us to dispute. DR.. Ohio Fielder,
city analyst OF the Milwaukee health
department, announces that he has
found sc, O90, 423 bacteria on a single one
dollar bill. He must have had good
time counting them, and it is not alto
gether certain that one or two didn't
set away before he completed his cen
sUs. There might have been 96,O9e.424
or $500, 425, but DR.. Fielder says &c.
09O, 423. and we are willing TO let it go
at that without putting him TO the
trouble of making q recount
Dr.. Fielder didn't cease being indus
trious when he completed his count on
this one bill. He examined five others
but we are inclined to think he scamped
his work. This because he gives US even
numbers on the other bills and the fig
ures look very much like mere esti-
mates. For instance, he says one con-
tanned IS, 600 bacteria, one $500, one
245.O 900. one "a 600 and one only 900 bac-
terra. The last bill was a new one that
had been in circulation only two or
three days.
The doctor doesn't want us to become
alarmed as q result Of his inyestiga-
tons, however. He says:
Although the figures might appear to
be such as 10 prove that handling OF pa
per money was a great danger. L would
not 90 on record as making such a state
meut. for ] believe just the contrary. Al
though L have not completed the test,
and have not ascertaiued the proportion
of disease producing germs. 1 am in
cliued to believe the number IS compare
lively small j am led TO this conclusion
by the fact that the disease producers
cannot stand the sunlight such as paper
money IS subjected to in handling The
conditions are not satisfactory for them
to live. I am willing TO admit, however,
the possibility that 4 proportion OF these
are disease germs and capable of spread
i am also willing to say that the hand
ling of old bills certainly is more danger
aus than TO handle new bills. and any
system which would retire the old and
the support of those interested IN sanitary
science.
The obvious way to keep new money
i'm circulation is for congress to pass
the post check currency bill which IS
now pending. If this bill is enacted
into law. bills Of small denominations
that have been used as checks viii be
forwarded 20 Washington and cancelled
and new bills issued in place Of them.
Thus a continuous supply Of new money
would be assured for those fortunate
enough TO get hold OF it in legitimate
way.

= STORY FROM RUSSIA.

g ONE CURIOUS STORIES come out
y Of Russia every little while. One
Of the most recent has to do with the
editor Of the Moscow WjedomOsti. He
wanted to post himself on matters
leading up TO the war with Japan-this
was before war was declared-and ne
wrote to ask tine government for a blue
book on the Russo-Japanes situation.
The next morning at O'Clock the chief
of police appeared at the domicue Of
the editor.
"I have the honor Of bringing you a
blue book, not the ore you demanded.
but our blue book on Siberia he said,
with elaborate sarcasm. Though you
viii have plenty Of time for studying
it-six months-I must ask you to get
up at once and begin. These gentle
men win keep you company"
The gentlemen referred TO by the
chief were four Cossacks, who hustled
the editor away 10 Siberia, where he
Will reflect for six months on the sin
OF desiring information. Verify, Russia
is an enlightened, civilized country and
we should wish her well in the struggle
with Japan. Russia and the United
States have so very much in common.
We like the same form Of government,
We are a unit on the proposition that
the people should be educated and we
do not believe in Furnishing anyone who
has not been sully and fairly and open
ly tried.
Really, it is astonishing that there is
not more sympathy for Russia in the
United States. Goodness knows Russia.
needs sympathy right now, and she is
going TO keep on needing it for some
time to come. But just TO keep you
from gathering a false impression from
our brief remarks. we desire to say
that Russia. isn't going 10 get much
sympathy from this country. Just about
90, 999 persons out of each 10000 are
hoping and trusting and praying for
continued japanese victories. And this
applies 10 practically every civilized ma
ton except Russia and France.

UTILITY VERSUS BEAUTY.

TTTILITARIAN and aesthetic forces
l in New York are battling over a
bin that has been introduced in the
New York legislature. If this bill is
passed, Niagara falls viii be turned

the world, into a great power station.
The beauty of the falls viii be entirely

ect strenU0usly to what they consider
1esecration- They say It is not neees-
SaTy, that it is vandalism, pure and
simple, and that the bill which permits

t is true that there is nothing in the
world so beautiful as the beauties Of

nature is concerned?

and stables and dwellings. Many Of
Utah's most beautiful mountains have
been spoiled by unsightly mine tun-
neis and dumps. The magnificent viz
gin forests Of oregon and Washington
and California and Texas and other
states have been denuded, made bare
and bleak and horrid. But has not the
nation benefited? One cannot live on
beautiful scenery. There is abundant
spiritual HourishmeEt in a view Of
lofty mountain, but It contains nour-
ishnent Of no other character.
It seems a pity to think Of destroy
ing Niagara falls or evvn OF seriously
impairing their beauty. Let US re-

thus be given 10 men who need work:
let US think of the mouths that VIII be

homes that viii be made happier. The
aesthetic must, sooner or later, give
way 20 the utilitarian, for this has been
the worlds history from the beginning.
