In many of the cities and counties of
the Eastern States INDECENT patients
are cared for in private hospitals at
government expense. The system IN
vogue there is the allowance of a per
diem rate for each patient sent to the
hospital by the proper government au-
thorities, who also take care that the
taxpayers are not imposed upon. Prob
ably In the local hospitals, which have
been enjoying subsidies at the hands of
the Territory. are free patients who
are capable of paying their own way.
In order to aid the hospitals somewhat
the Legislature might make lump sum
appropriation for care Of INDECENT sick
to be paid out upon the approval of
the Board of Health or some specifica!-
ly named officer, whose duty it will
be to see that the government is not
imposed upon by the people who are
able to pay for medical attendance.

AS possibly the first paper in the
United States to suggest that the Jap
anese may not mean to advance beyond
the Yalu-except by raids-the Adver-
tiser is naturally pleased to find that
the same idea is entertained by mill
tary experts. This is from the New
York Tribune in n Washington dispatch
about the opinions, regarding the Jap
anese campaign, of the General Staff:
An officer of high rank said that he
was satisfied the japanese did not in
tend to advance into Manchuria across
the Yalu, and that all trustworthy re-
ports Indicate an intention by the Jap
anese merely to hold their position
across Korea from ingYang to Won
son, and thus prevent the Russians
from overruning Korea.
The officer anticipated, however, that
another army would land to attack the
Laotong peninsula. This is not so i'm
probable as that one would permit it
self to be lured into the interior of
Manchuria.

the members of the New York stock
exchange and finds over two-thirds Of
them are for Roosevelt, which is about
the average way the stock brokers
were divided in former years. The
Rockefellers are for Roosevelt. but
they have always been Republicans.
The Belmonts are for Parker. but
they have always been Democrats. So
the attempt Of the administration to
show that Wall street is against Roose-
welt is all rubbish. The boomers
have watered stocks to sell, as the
boomers" elsewhere are trying to
sell mines and lands at fictitious
values. They all believe in shouting
prosperity whether it is here or not.
and naturally follow the Republican
party and it's fake prosperity.
There is q respectable element In
Wall street. some Of whom are Demo
Gratis and some Republicans, who are
against Roosevelt. They are the real
investors who are connected with
trust companies and the great life and
fire insurance institutions. They dis
like Roosevelt as being too erratic
and headstrong, and fear that in some
emergency he will do something to
jeopardize the business interests of
the country. The real business men of
Wall street want stability and peace.
They have millions of other peoples
money invested in stocks, bonds and
mortgages, which they hold as securi-
ty for life and fire insurance all over
the country. They dislike the boom
ing methods and watered stocks as
much as righteous people do every
where. Wall street, as the banking
region In New York is called, has
therefore it's good and bad sides, and
1t is unfortunate for President Roose-
welt that the tough element there are
his supporters.

We should probably consider it impos-

How can you condescend to come
to such poor house as this?"
How can you, indeed, be so kind as

At last, amid final chorus of apcl-

their ever-ready smile warns the

Whalebone.

There may not at first sight seem
to be any necessary relation between a
lady Of fashion in London, Paris CT
New York and a bowhead whale
tumbling and diving in Arctic seas
says the London Graphic. Neverthe.
less the one is steadily, if unconscious
ly, extirpating the other. It is the
bowhead which yields whalebone, and
such is the demand Of corset manufac.
turers for this material that the source
Of supply bids fair to be exhausted
No satisfactory substitute has yet been
devised, and the consequence is that
the bowhead whale is at the present in
the same perilous position in which his
brother, the sperm whale, found him.
self before the advent Of petroleum
gave him fresh chance in the struggle
for existence. Last years catch OF
whalebone reached only 10000 pounds
as compared with two or three times
that amount in previous years; one.
half Of the ships engaged in the indus.
try came back "clean." The price has
naturally shot skywards. Whalebone
which few years ago cost eight shil.
lings a pound wholesale, has this year
cost thirty shillings, and the corset
makers will have to pay forty shillings
or more.
Formerly whalebone had other uses
besides the improvement Of the female
figure, but with the diminution Of the
supply 1t came to be practically monop-
olized for the purposes Of fashion, and
even in that limited field it is now
available only for the most expensive
wares. The prospect is not encourag G.
ing either for the boWhead whale or
for the dress reformer. There is rea-
son to fear that both will shortly be
extinct

WHAT THE TARIFF COSTS.
Average of $1co for Each Family in
the United States.

II the protectionists cannot show
that all are protected by the tariff, it
must be admitted that protection is
not applied equally and unequal taxa
ton is an abomination. From the
very nature Of things protection can
not be universal, or there would be
nc benefit for anyone. If every one
was taxed for the benefit of every
one else no one would be the gamer.
The policy and practice of the protec-
tive tariff is to make the many pay
for the benefit of the few.
How few receive any advantage
from the protective tariff of the
100000 which the census of 1900
shows are engaged in gainful occu-
pations-that is the workers and
laborers of the United States. It is
admitted that but very few farmers
received any benefit from the tariff,
and yet there were 100000 persons
engaged in agriculture. Men and WON.

1ll,63S clergymen, the III, AGO lawyers.
the 10000 doctors and the 446,133
teachers have had their incomes in
creased by the protective tariff?
The 5,5SO,000 persons in domestic
and personal service, of whom 1861
721 were servants and walters, 131 ,116
BARRIERS, and 155, 153 housekeepers and
stewards. Has the Dingley law raised
their pay? How many of the 4,766,OOO
people in trade and transportation
have received cent from Uncle Sam !
There were 630,127 clerks, 254,8SO
hookkeepers, 611,139 statesmen and the
582,150 railroad employees all paying
their share of tariff taxes, but receiv.
ing no benefit in return.
Now we come to the 7,085,00O per.
sons employed in manufacturing pur.
SUITS about one-fourth of the whole
number of workers. But a very large
proportion of these derive no benefit
from the tariff, for the 346,S84 dress
makers, the 9,649 tailors, the 100000
carpenters, without taking time to Sc
lect thousands more, cannot be said
to have any advantage from the tariff.
But all these and every one else

tariff tax to Uncle Sam in 1902 and
the tax the workers paid was in tome
cases even more than the masters
paid for the rate of duty-is often
higher on the cheaper goods-and yet
the protectionists say the tariff is to
protect labor.
But what Uncle Sam receives is 4
small tax compared to what the trusts
charge each family through the pro-
lection the tariff gives them, which is
computed by the most expert statisti.
clans to be for 1902 1914 for each
family, or nearly six times as much
as the government takes in at the
custom houses.
No wonder the cost Of living is high
and that those with small incomes find
it difficult to pay this monstrous tax
which the Republican policy Of high
protection imposes. We might stand
the tariff tax the government gets If
it did not protect and foster the trusts
in plundering us.

A TWO-POUND POTATO.
Of Giant Proportion, 1t Originated IN
South America.

South America.
Some time ago brief report was
submitted by United States Consul
Haynes at Rouen, France. dealing
with a new potato which was being
grown in some parts of Europe, and
the matter attracted such widespread
attention that he was compelled to
make the subject matter for a SUBJ
sequent report.
This wild aquatic vegetable vas in-
troduced from the banks of the River
Mercedes, Uruguay, and distributed
in France by Professor Heckel, direc-
tor of the Colonial institute of Mar
settles. In it's original state the
tubercle is very bitter. but DR.. Heckel
pronounces the results Of four years
of experiments with it marvellous.
The leaves are small and slender,
somewhat like those of the Irish
potato, and the flowers are abundant,
of a pale violet color, and very odor-

jasmine. New stems and tubercles
branch off in every direction all the
year, and after one planting the plant
perpetuates itself from the broken
roots left in the soil.
The vegetable proper Chat is, the
tubercle) weighs from 1 to 2 IL
pounds, and has yellowish, wrinkled
skin, covered with lenticels, which
disappear after culture. The pulp,
when cooked, has a slight gTeenish
color. At first they had a very bit
ter taste, but this has been greatly
improved.
Planting is done toward tie end
of March, preferably in level ground,
SO as to diminish drainage. FLe hest
depth seems to be above three inches.
The digging, which is a littl1 more
difficult than that of the Irish sotato,
because the numerous tubercleS eX-
tend in every direction, begins when
cold has arrested the growth Of the
plant In the same soil the yield is
greatly superior to that of the or
binary potato. The Early Rose IN one
instance gave 5000 pounds to the
acre, the American Marvel 5000
pounds, and the Solanum comm ars onii
$500 pounds.
The new potato requires hvmid,
fresh, even marshy soil. In dry. san.
dy, clayey soil the yield has heen 20
percent less than in moist sol; The
absence of sunlight causes smaller
yield, with smaller and inferior
tubercles, and 10 to Is days later rip

The foliage, refused by rabbits. is
eaten by horses, cattle and sheep.

rude attempt to extract the perfume
has furnished an exquisite aromatic,

for the Is days they were there.

easier, if less fitting, to get a wife as
some people do their clothes, not to
their own order, but ready made, and
all the more reason for it when the
bargain is for ones son, not ones self.
So Japan looks at the arrangement
from strictly paternal standpoint
and ignores such trifies as personal
preference; love, as we understand it,
being an unknown quantity.
Japanese civilization is in sense
not unequal to our own. Some one
has said that .It is not in the polish
the real difference lies; it is in the
substance polished" In delicate tact
and good taste they have as people
no peers. Art has been their mistress,
though science has never been their
master. Perhaps for this reason the
result has been the more widespread,
for their culture is not the attainment
OF the few, but the common property
of the people. But little need be said
