A Considcrate Judge.

A Kentucky Congressman tells Of a
considerate judge in his state who
passed sentence on a man convicted Of
murder. The Judge said;
"Mr. Dodson, the jury says you are
guilty Of murder, and the law says you
are to be hanged. It is my wish that
you and all your friends on the river
know that it is not who condemns
you. II is the jury and the law, Mr..
Dodson. At what time, sir, would you
like to be hangedi"
The prisoner made answer that IL
was a matter Of indifference to him
and that he was prepared to swing OF
at any time. The Judge continued;
"Mr. Dodson, it is a serious matter
to be hanged. II can't happen TO a
man but once in life unless the rope
should break before the neck is broken,
and you had better take all the time
you can. But since IL makes no diff.
ference to you you may hang four
weeks from today at 12 noon, but you
may have a good dinner first.

THE REAL
BUBONIC
PLAGUE
Sir Walter Foster Calls Attention to its
Rapid Increase IN India

In the London Daily Mail, Sir Wal
ter Foster, NJ. p, NJ. d., replies to the
alarming forecast Of Prof. Chante-
meBse, that cholera invasion is inn
minent in India, by saying that "there
is danger which is much more seri-
Gus. and that is the extreme probabiii.
~ of an invasion Of the bubonic
plague" OF the fearful sweep Of this
disease Sir Walter Foster says: 'The
endemic settlement Of the plague in
India Is the great source Of peril. We
are now In the ninth year Of the prev
aience of plague. aud from 1896 TO
1904 no fewer than 9,i5OOO0 people
have died Of plague in lIindostan, or,
IN othor words, about one Of every 100
Of the inhabitants. la the hrst year,
1896, there were fewer than 10000
deaths. Last year over 100000 died
ss plague, or about one In 500 Of the
population in a single year, and in the
frst four months Of this year, 1905
over 100000 deaths occurred, or more
by 100000 than in the same period last
year.
Bringing Il down TO today, Sir Wal
ter warns us that the most "seriou
aspect Of this scourge is that Il Is nov
raging among some Of the most vigoi
Gus and warlike races Of the India
peninsula, the men from whom We r'
cruit our best soldiers. In the Punjei
for instance, with population Of 81
100000, or about the same as In Ems
land, 100000 persons died In one yea
Ia ne weeks alone OF 1904, $4,000
deaths occurred, and In the year the'
was but one death In every n inhab
tanis-a death rate from one disea'
more than half the death rate per Al
mum from all diseases In an unhealth
Rritish town. In some localities q
death rate was as high as one In
The virulenee OF the disease Il anoth
point that requires consideration, q
mortality In India being from 70 20
per cent Of those attacked. Tho 4

the house Of commons, and "Mr. Bro
derrick, in his opening statement on
that occasion, seemed 10 derive some
satisfaction from the facts that only
1l5 deaths occurred among 100000 ma
tive troops, and that in the jails only
% died, although 159 OF the jails were
situated in infected districts. The sig
niRcance Of these figures is that they
prove that under proper sanitary pre-
cautions the risk of the spread Of
plague is greatly lessened, and the les
son which should be learned is that a
systematic attempt should be made to
Introduce throughout the whole of In
dia proper and efficient state sani-
tary service. Hitherto the govern
ment has appointed two commissions.
The commission of 1898 did some ex-
eellczt work, but it was too bacteria
logical In It's character, and had not
single member who could be called
an epidemiologist. What was wanted
then, and is wanted still, is a study OF
the whole question on the SPOT by mel

expert in the methods Of suppressiDi
them. But what Is more cssentia
is the steady development OF a numer

Hot Air.

A wave Of hot air struck Baker eSsH-
ty this week emanating from the Har.
riman banquet in Portland. W. W. Cot.
ton, who, as Harriman's counsel, do
clined the federal judgeship appoint
ment, insinuated that the o. r. & N.
will some day build from Huntington
down the Oregon side Of Snake river
to Lewiston, thus affording a river
grade from the Rockies 10 the sea. Also,
Cotton made much talk about what
Hartman intends TO do in central Ore
gOn.
There is. despite Cotton's statement
(official railroad announcements should
always be coppered) room for belief
that the Snake river line viii some day
be built. This, however, viii hardly
mean the erasure Of Baker City from
the map. It would leave this town on
sidetraek, to be sure, but that Is but
little worse than being water tank
on the main line. so far as railroad
rates are concerned, Baker City has
been given the worst of IL since the
year three. Were it not for the fact
that an o. r. & n. paid claquer is at
tached to the staff Of a local paper,
filling column after column with drivel
and fattery Of the system, thus dis.
tracing the publiS's attention from o.
r. & n. smallness through the appliea.
tion Of a sort Of counter-irritant-were
it not for this fact, the people of Ba'
ker City and county might get 70
brooding over their wrongs and rise
in righteous wrath against Hartman.
True, much good it would do them;
but then. beloved, little cussing now
and then is good for the very best Of
men.
Not soon will the people Of this re-
gion swallow statements from Harri'
man that he is devoted TO oregon Is
material development. A ghost Of the
fat.jowled magnate's treatment Of the
little old sumpter valley road will ever
arise TO frighton back belief in tho
o. r. & ". goodness. When the SumR
ter Valley, after pursuing a very rail-
roadish policy of dilly-dallying, finally
got ready TO extend its narrow guage
line into the John Day valley, did Har'
riman pat Bccles on the back and say
"Go IL, Davey. The more country you
open the more freight we will haul
did hei Well, not on your roadbed. In
stead, the big transeontinental Goliah
began heaving rocks at the little in
termountain David. The time-honored
'' courtesy rate''-a low freight rate on
steel rails carried by one railway foi
the benefit Of another, was revoked
and the top-noeherest tariff permitted
hy the interstate commerce was slap
ped on. This, Of course, stumped th'
