thursday Evening,

nothing OF that kind which 1t could add
in addition to the honors already con-
ferred, his alma mater, Wabash college,
Crawfordsville, Ind, presented to DR..
Moore on her last commencement day a
handsome gold, medal testifying to his
distinguished achievements in practical
science. DR.. Moore. is still a young man,
probably not So years Of age. a graduate
Of Wabash in 1894, where he laid the
foundation for that success in botanical
science which has given him high place
among scientific men. DR.. Moore has a
claim upon the respect and consideration
of the public aside from his attachments
as a scholar in that he has placed his
discoveries at the service Of the public
thru the agricultural department without
any money remuneration, altho he might
undoubtedly have realized an immense
fortune If he so desired While he has
achieved prominence and great success
early, he has the enthusiasm of the spe-
cialist and the advantage of youth tc
promise still greater things than he has
already achieved.

The president has let out of prison
brace of the most dangerous counter
feiters the country has ever known,
holding that their twelve years. SEN
tence was excessive. Perhaps it was,
but the crime Of counterfeiting is such
mean one, and one so hard to trace,
that when a first-class maker of spurious
notes is convicted round dozen years
of privacy seems to be strictly in the
interest Of the public.
These men, Jacobs and Kendig, once
by their clever imitation compelled the
federal government to recall an issue
of $40,000,oO0 of silver certificates
thing unprecedented in the history of
the country. They swindled the inter
nal revenue out of thousands of dol
lars by fraudulent cigar stamp. They
put out 500 silver certificate which,
obtained such general currency in
the east as to demoralize business. II
was this certificate which finally caused
their downfall, but only after the secret
service bureau had worked nearly a
year on the case, and spent money like
water to obtain evidence. Clemency
to such a precious pair of swindlers
seems to trench upon the domain OF
generosity. But the United States at
torney recommended it, and it may bt
all right.

BABIES IN CAPTIVITY
HOW THE LITTLE ELEPHANTS.
GIRAFFES AND KANGAROOS
ARE CARED FOR IN THE CIR
GUS.

Babe, the. famous old. elephant, has
been travelling about the country in
the Barnum & Bailey circus ever since
there was such thing, and was in
several shows before that. Nobody
knows how old Babe is, but she is at
least IS, and has been a grandmother
for good many years.
Old babe is the most amiable, de-
lightful and pleasant old grandmother
that ever lived, and as her own little
grandchildren have died, she mothers
all the little baby elephants. that Join
the company. Last year eight baby
elephants were brought over from Sin
We're. The keepers brought grand
mother Babe and Immediately, won
their confidence. She soothed and pet
ted them and talked to them lin the
elephant language, telling them, doubt,
less, that it wasan't so bad as 1t seemed
and that if they would only be good
babies everybody would be KIND. 10
So the babies began to eat and grow
fat. And they became SO fond OF Ba6e
that sometimes the whole eight would
stand around her, caressing her with
their trunks.
All these little elephants and Others
! may be seen with the. Barnum q pal

| more valuable than big elephants, be-
cause they are so hard to get. Those
born in captivity seldom live: y
There are lot of other babies !. IN
the show. A group Of giraffes,. althe

The keeper tried to make them forge1
their mothers by being very kind t.

Is there mysterious plot to prevent
the construction of the Panama canal9
The country is periodically treated to
a sensational statement that there is,
and periodically lives it down, only to
find it bobbing up again.
J. D. Yeomans, a former member OF
the interstate commerce commission, is
the author of the latest scare. In a
highly sensational interview, published
in today's Journal, he AYERS that
there is no intention of building canal
at Panama; that the route is not feasl-
BILE, while the Nicaragua route was, and
that, therefore, the Panama route was
substituted by the conspiracy against
any canal. Mr.. Yeomans' ideas may be
colored by the fact that he twas moved
from the interstate commission and
that he was one of a syndicate which
made proposition to construct the
Nicaragua canal. Nevertheless, Mr..
Yeomans must be looked upon as a
responsible Individual and we must as
sumo that he believes, to some extent
at least, in what he says.
The evidence Of conspiracy to put
the government in hole, to make it
spend untold millions in an effort to
construct canal where no canal can
ever be constructed. is not conclusive;
Eminent engineers have testified that
canal can be made over either route
it being only a question of time and
money. Unless we are to assume that
all the engineers who have been over
the route are fools or attached to the
conspiracy we must believe that
the Panama route is practicable. Ger
tainly the French engineers thought sc
and they also must, years ago, have
been either mistaken or corrupted by
the alleged conspiracy. Is it possible
that an influence, international in char
acter, has laid paralyzing hand upo1
this project and held it there for years
| and never been unmasked9
It does not seem probable. But it il
possible, and the very possibility makes
! it worth while to have Mr.. Yeomans
warning. If it does nothing else, it viii
add zest to the hunt for the cana
| hoodoo.

MANY EYES DEFECTIVE
EXAMINATIONS IN SCHOOLS SHOW
ONE CHILD OUT OF SEVEN HAS
DIRECTIVE VISION. FEW WEAR
ING GLASSES.

s. DR.. H. M. Bracken, secretary of the
state board Of health, estimates that at
least 10000 Of the school chcildren Of
Minnesota have defective eyesight, and
that 10000 are afflicted with defective
hearing. AS result Of the inspections
made by schoolteachers during the past
year, on request of the state board. the
reports show that tests were made in
ffty-fve cities and villages. There
were 2l,768 pupils examined, of whom
3,l4l, or more than Il per cent, had de-
fective eyes, and Sig, or more than 2
per cent, were found to have defective
hearing.
AS the tests made were simple. it is
likely that good many reported as
having sound eyes and ears also have
defects, but following out the proper
ton found in the tests, it is evident that
of the total enrolment of 424,663 pu-
pills, about 10000 have eyes not normal,
and 10000 have imperfect hearing The
tests were not made in Minneapolis and
st. Paul. AS large share of those hav-
ing defective eyes have not been pro.
yided with spectacles, they are running
danger Of iniuring their evesight perma.
nently. or of contracting spinal disease
Only 519 of the 3,141 were reported as
wearing glasses. The state board will
try to have more general inspection
made during the coming school year.

A notable group Of Catholic prelates
were present at the picnic on July 4.
There was Archbishop Ireland, than whom
no man in the northwest commands more
attention. With him were two former
Minneapolis priests who have risen to the
bishopric, Bishop McGolrick Of Duluth
and Bishop Keane of Wyoming. A third
Minneapolis priest who has been raised
in rank, Bishop Christie, was not pres
ent. Bishop McGolrick came to Mime
apolis in 1868, when his parishioners
were glad to get into a wooden church
built by their own hands. His work here
was progressive and his life here pleas
ant to that degree that the archbishop
paid him compliment In introducing him
as Father McGolrick of Minneapolis
All these men who labored here as pio-
neers are today united in the effort t.
build great cathedral in the city they
saw in its infancy. ~

Business Men in Politics.

The editor of the Northwestern Miller,
having read McClure's for some time
and having absorbed an overdose of
Tarbell and Steffens, revolts in a clear
case of mental indigestion.
The Journal has some sympathy
with the condition of the Miller, for
too much of Steffens and Tarbel has
tendency to cloy the appetite for SEN
sations.
There is an iteration Of villainy in the
Steffens articles which makes one sus
picious that the gentleman is construct
ing melodrama in which real men are
made to speak his lines. In every city
Steffens has visited there is a boss viii
lain and a reform hero. All the boss
does is bad and all the hero does is
good. When he visited Jersey, Steffens,
q good deal bothered to find a hero,
was compelled finally to fall back on
Governor Albeit, who was only plain
politician without any fustian of re-
form in him. In Cleveland he was put
to it for villain and finally gave the
role to Senator Hanna, who did not
appear to fill the bill. His hero in
Cleveland was Tom L. johnson, and
when he appeared in Mcclure s to speak
his first lines, people laughed. They
thought he was the low comedian.
But the editor of the Miller lays him.
self wide open when he objects to Stef-
fens' insistence on the business man
taking part in politics. His admission
that business men are too immersed in
their own affairs to keep track Of poll.
tics is just what Steffens has been say
ing and what he has been proving is
that the low state of many Of our cities
is directly due to this abandonment of
their civic duties by the business men
To admit now that business men have
no time for politics and should not be
expected to "play the game,' is to give
over the case as proved against them.
The business man, the Miller admits
\ gives great deal Of time to othe1
things besides his business. In fact, he
pictures him as pleading with book
agents and charity solicitors for "three
hours in which to make a little money!
If the business man can and does give
away time, it is up to him to say il
what direction he shall give it. Ca1
he afford better to struggle with sub
I. scription solicitors and agents than t.

Corrupt politics costs the business maj
of every large town immense sums O.
money. The filtration steal in Philadel

There is money every day for tn

To Make a Holiday.

Fifty-nine dead and 3,169 wounded
is the price paid for an American holt
day. Figures like these, representing
the sacrifice of life to make Roman
holiday, would make chapter of horror
in ancient history. How much better,
how much more humane, how much
more excusable is this sacrifice of life,
made in this twentieth century among
an enlightened, self-governing and re
sponsible people9 The casualties of a
great battle are often not more than
those incident to the celebration Of the
nations birthday. It has come to be
the custom to collect and present these
concrete facts following each return
Of the Fourth, and the publication of
them, it is to be hoped, may in the end
result in saner methods and more rea-
sonable forms Of expression Of patriot
ism. Of course, these figures given to-
day not as terrible as they are likely
to be-. Fifty-nine fatalities have re.
suited already. A week or ten days
hence, when all the serious consequences
have been realized, the number may be
doubled.

The conductor had signaled for the

seen bearing down. Pedestrians
called to the motorman, who reversed
and succeeded in averting a serious &C
