The safe arrival of the yacht Atlantic
at the Lizard, after what seems to have
been the quickest passage ever made by
a vessel under sail, will be matter of
congratulation to all Americans. The
trip was made in II days and 16 hours
from land to land" but the last half day
was drift that made the time somewhat
longer to the point where the race ended
The average time was very remarkable
being about ten and half knots per
hour, which not only indicates the Allan.
tic as fast sailer but also that she must
have been wonderfully favored with fair
and good winds. The best days work
was BAL knots which approaches the
speed of the average steamer, being a
little over Il knots an hour. AS to the
remainder of the fleet of yachts, ten in
number, which started from Sandy Hook
with the Atlantic on May 18Th, the story
is the same as in the famous race around
the Isle of Wight, away back in the Sos,
when the yacht America was reported in
the lead, to the Queen, she anxiously in
quired as to which yacht was second,
and the attendant replied, "Alas Madam,
there is no second" In the present race
nothing had been seen of the rest of the
yachts for at least two days after the At
lantic arrived.

NEW DEPARTURE IN LITERATURE.

The evolution OF the ten cent magazine
is distinctly new departure in current
literature. Twenty or less years ago
such thing as well printed and finely
illustrated magazine that could be sold
for ten cents copy was an impossibility.
The first start to these magazines was
made when the process of Photographic
engraving was discovered. This made
pictures not only very much cheaper but
made them quicker and better. Then
came the era of magazine advertising.
The old $3 3magazines carried but few ads,
and these were most entirely of books.
Now the magazines are the recognized
medium Of advertising everything salable
and the advertising pages are SO finely.
and aptly illustrated, and the ads so well
written that the average reader looks
them over as regularly as he does the
other parts ofthe book. But these ten
centers have not only created a sphere
for themselves as mere purveyors for the
amusement and knowledge Of the gener-
al reader, but they have discovered and
occupy unique orbit Of their own.
In former years the distance between
the magazine and the newspapers was
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1905-06-02

very great, and it is in this middle dis
tance that the new magazine has found
an orbit. Strictly non-partizian, the ten
center strikes into politics, and discusses
men ard manners, and policies with keen
est blades, and talks about trusts, mono
poles, labor unions, and such political
and social questions in manner and
from standpoint hitherto unknown to
the reading public.
The old time magazine rarely allowed
its columns to be used in any way savor-
ing of politics, while the newspaper,
rankly partizan in what it might say, nev-
er could find the space for long statistical
articles, profusely illustrated, with por-
traits and places that we now find every
month in the current magazines.
The new magazines are far more popu-
larly read than were the old monthlies,
partly because of the price and partly be-
cause they are more attractive. Hence
the discussion gilmore abstruse questions
of political or social nature. is set in pop
ular and readable style, before class OF
people who otherwise would rarely read
such discussions.
One good feature of these discussions
is that while biased to some extent by
prejudice, and in some instances over
drawn to make them more readable, yet
they are setting the more common peo-
pie to thinking out the problems of fl.
nance and social economy in manner
never brought home to them before.
People knew that there were monopo.
lies, and trusts-they had heard of
"Amale amated Copper" and STANDARD
OIL" and hundred other such, but the
general public had but little real knowl-
edge of the way the thing was done until
they read these articles in the ten-cent
magazines. We believe that such knowl-
edge will be good for the nation, and
hence in time the ten-cent monthlies will
be the authors of much good to the nation.

THE RUSSIAN DEFEAT.

The expected mas happened. The
Russian fleet is nearly annihilated. Again
it is shown that it Is the man behind the
gun that wins the battles. Russia had
the superior armament but Japan had
the best men. A landlubber is far from
being sailor. The men who fired into
the fishing boats on the North sea were
not men to win battles in real fight.
Admiral Togo at this writing on We'd
nesday, reports that he has sunk or cap
tured twenty-five of the Russian fighting
ships. Vladivostock reports the arrival
of only two minor vessels of the fleet
getting into that port. This shows
among other things that the Russians
were not towards; in most cases they
have fought as long as their ships would
float, but it takes more than mere brav-
cry to win battles. Togo also reports
that his own fleet is very little damaged
and that his losses are very small.
What all this means to Russia, to Jap
an, to China and to the world is as yet
but matter of speculation. First does
it mean peace, or will the Russians keep
grimly to fighting until they can at least
get one victory to their credit? Second,
what effect will this awful defeat have on
the people of Russia? In an ordinarily
made up nation, war and mistor-
tune binds the people together, they for
get lesser troubles in their love for their
country. But Russia is not so consti-
tuted. On the contrary the whole land
is honeycombed with revolution and
needs only a leader to effect complete
turnover in the government.
The supremacy of Japan opens many
possibilities on the continent Gf Asia.
Will Japan become the England of that
continent? That she will almost certain.
Fly take charge Of the affairs of China is
natural; that she will keep Port Arthur
and Korea, that she will practically close
Vladivostock to the Russian navy, if
Rnssia again has a navy, these are all
possible. Perhaps no nation will be
more interested in these developments
Of the near future than will be the United
States. Commercially Japan and this
country are near neighbors across the
Pacific. Our mutual interests may be in
common, or they may clash.
That the American people sympathize
with the laps IS no doubt true, but on

The work of the state board of
health in the combined state and city
quarantine service has never been at

and packets inspected and the mum

Even the most trivial difficulty with
any passenger, the slightest infrac-
tion of quarantine regulations remains
matter of record with the board ac-
companied by a full report from the

A FEW FACTS AND FIGURES
REGARDING THE QUARANTINE

During the quarantine 663 steam
boats have been inspected at an ex-
penditure OF labor which will only be
appreciated by one who fully under
stands the irregularity and uncertain
ty of river travel
When 1t is realized that during the
entire service. every Cotton Belt and
Iron Mountain train has been met at
Birds Point for inspection; that the
more important Illionis Central and
Mobile and Ohio trains from the south
have been met at Wickliffe and of the
trains from north and south have been
met at Mounds, Mound City or Cairo
Junction. the immensely of the labor
of the quarantine service begins to ap-
pear to us. While we have slept six
trains have come each night into Cairo
between the hours of 1880 a m, and
4 and every train has been met and
thoroughly inspected
Packets have arrived at all unsea-
sonable hours and yet there has never
been a time that an inspector has not
been on watch when the packets have
landed at Cairo.
During the quarantine service 1886
passengers have presented credentials
TO inspectors.

HOW CITY AND STATE AUTHORITIES
SUCCESSFULLY COMBINED IN FIGHT
TO STOP SPREAD OF THE PLAGUE

iably guided the state board of health
in its actions.
That the quarantine established by
the city, and enforced with the hearty
cooperation of the state board Of
health has prevented yellow fever gain
Illinois is not denied by anyone who
has followed the situation closely, The
Italian iaborers who went north by
river and carried yellow fever to
Gregory, Missouri, endeavored to make
landing here and this landing was
prevented only by the prompt action
of quarantine officers
The passengers who went from the
south with yellow fever into Cincin-
natl, desired to come into Southern
Illinois but changed their course at
Fulton on hearing OF the rigid quaran
tine in Cairo and in Southern Illinois.
The unfortunate young man who was
afflicted with yellow fever on the train
and who died of that disease in Chica-
go, desired to leave the train at Cairo
to seek greater comfort at some hotel,
but was sent on by DR.. Egan who hap
pended to be on the train,
State and city officials, working in
harmonious accord, kept yellow fever
out of Cairo. What that means is best
appreciated by those who passed
through the siege of 1873.
The result has been well worth what
state and city have expended upon the
service. II has been well worth what
citizens have lost in dulness of bust.

have demonstrated that with reason
able sacrifice and with reasonable
care Cairo can be placed beyond the
pale of infectable cities.
Cairo today stands thoroughly safe
in inviting her neighbors 10 come
within her gates, to renew the rela
lions which have been severed in the
protection of her people, and the ma
ton looks upon Cairo today as city
which is safe. not only because 1t is
a healthful city but because IL stands
with proper protectors within her own
gates and because she stands under
the protecting arm of state board OF
health, which through the untiring
energy Of its present secretary and ex-
ecutive officers. stands second to none
in the nation in efficiency, fearless
ness and judgment.
