Evidently the japanese take the view
that If they are fooled twice it viii be
their fault the second time. The Jap
anese minister. in discussing peace
terms with President Roosevelt, is
quo;ed as saying that Japan will not
agree to anything unless the powers
guarantee that Russia viii live up to
its promises. Russia's failure TO OBJ
serve its promises in regard 10 the oc-
cupation Of Manchuria was the primary
cause of the war. This time the Japs
appear determined to have the Russian
pledges underwritten by the powers be
fore any proposal Is accepted.
The japanese attitude is a rather Sc
we're arraignment of Russia, but is not
without justification, and the Japan
csc should not be too severely cen
sured for taking precautions against
further trouble through a breach Of
faith on the part of Russia

iINcLE JOE cANNoN's SORROW.

=
"UncIe Joe" Cannon. speaker of the
national house of representatives and
stand-pattcr extraordinary. is d wor-
Tied man. He made a trip to Wash
ington lately and, according to the
Post, his first hard work there was a
perugal of the treaty with Panama and
the law authorizing the construction of
the canal Then he said:
81 do not know that I have any mes
sage 10 the public touching the con-
siruction of the Panama canal Ny
recollection is that the act of 1902 au-
thcrizes the president to construct the
Panama canal and TO acquire and op-
crate the Panama railway. and it es-
peciaIIy authorizes him to enter into
the necessary contracts to accomplish
the work Ny recollection is that the
authority OF the president in the prem
ises is pIenary."
Later on. in discussing the question
OF the purchase Of ships and supplies
for the canal. Uncle Joe" said: L
take it for granted that all the supplies
needed should be. and Will be, the prod
uct of our own labor wherever practi-
cable"
Naturally. Uncle Joe" in common
with other friends of the protected in
teTests is alarmed by the announce
ment that millions of the canal money
are to be spent abroad because the
president declines to permit the govern
VaII on which the trusts are fattening.
II gives the president a splendid oppor-
tUHity to accomplish three things:
First. it viii save the government
money: second. it viii deliver a blow at
the trusts. which hoped to corral the
canal money; and third. it viii empha-
size the need for tariff revision.
Evidently, Uncle Joe" got scant
comfort from the documents i'm the
case. He discovered the president has
"pIenary authority" and is therefore
out of reach, unless congress amends
the law to compel the purchase of all
supplies at home
And what a bally old row that would
stir Uu, The passage of a law to loot
TO the extent OF millions the already
sadly depleted treasury by forcing the
government TO pay the extortionate
prices charged by the protected inter-
ests at home would be d tariff revision
argument that the stand-patters could
not answer though they talked them
selves black in the face
4 writer i'm the Post is undoubtedly
right when he says: BE sure that viii
not be done. The stand-patter is good
many things. but he is no fool. and he
/ knows that such a law as that would
/ he a severer blow to excessive dutie.
/ than all the logic Of all the free traders
/ from Adam Smith TO Hoke smith"
Truly, these be troubIous days for
/ the staud-patters and their protected
/ friends. The latter. if they would share

/ must come down to the prices charged

perpIeNity has abundant justification.

Dir. Watson of Georgia has again
proved that no mistake was made when

to the authenticity of the remains Cen
eral Porter discovered at great expense

TO be those Of Admiral John Paul Jones
by distinguished scientists In support
of his doubt Mr.. Watson sets up the
following;
First-That Jones was buried in his
American naval uniform with his sword
IN the coffin. while the body exhumed
by General Porter was not dressed in
uniform and no sword was present.
second-That Jones died OF a dropsi-
cal complaint and that his BODY was in
consequence much swollen. while the
body just found conforms in size to that

open to all classes of cases. All of
his life he has made a special study
of surgery and today has come to be
known as one of the foremost and

So successful has been this practice

that today he is receiving patients
from all parts of the United States
and Canada.
In connection with the hospital the
doctor conducts a training school for
nurses, and in that particular line is
gaining a very flattering reputation.
In speaking of this branch of the
business ii is but simple act of
justice to mention Mrs. Brainerd
From first to last she has been the
doctors most loyal assistant, and to
her abilities as a nurse is due a very
considerable portion of his success.
In all surgical operations she is his
first assistant, and by those best
able to know and understand il is as
serted that Mrs. Brainerd has few
equals. To her careful instructions is
also due much of the success which
is gained by the nurses educated in
this hospital.

This is an institution the like of
which is seldom found in a city of
the size of Alma, and one in which
the people of this place take consider
able pride, as it stands as a monu-
ment showing what one man can ac-
complish by hard work, frugality and
a careful application to the details of
his chosen profession.
In 1886 DR.. l. ~ Brainerd located
in Alma, commencing the practice of
medicine in the regular way How
ever, the doctor had a desire TO be-
come something more than the reg
ular country practitioner, as we'll as
having a particular talent for surgery,
and in a very short time he had es-
tablished a reputation which brought
him a considerable number of surgi-
cal operations. AS there was no hos
pital here il was necessary that these
patients be lodged within the homes
of the city. while as his practice grew
the necessity for a hospital as a place
where the patients could be better
handled, and the doctor himself Sc
cure better opportunity for the ex-
ercise of his talents, became more
and more apparent.
To own and operate hospital
where he could more fully exercise
the talents which he had developed
was one of the ambitions of Dr. Brain
erd, yet there was lacking the neces-
sary funds with which TO construct
such a building. Nevertheless, in
1894 the doctor determined to have
his hospital. He purchased the land
where this building now stands, run
ming in debt for a considerable por-
ton of the purchase price. Then
commenced the struggle for the cree
ton of a suitable building. DR. Brain
erd was possessed of that determin-
ed spirit which overcomes all OBJ
stacles and short period found the
building in the course of construction,
although people of this city tell us
that the doctor himself did a very

This laundry was first established

This laundry is most thoroughly
equipped with all the modern and I'D

work, and few cities of the size Of Al
ma can boast of as complete an es-
adjustment of this kind That this
fact is thoroughly appreciated is
shown by the fact that today they
are paying 500 per week for labor
necessary to handle the work which
comes TO them. This is an institu.
ton which should receive an undivid.
