Our business men are all Of one
opinion that Sistersville will have
a brisk business spring and sum-
mer. The Ohio is now naviga-
BILE and all the local and through
packets are running on schedule
time, which has greatly improved
business in many ways.
Merchants generally through
out the city continue to receive
large consignments Of spring
goods daily. Many of them are
buying heavier this season than
ever before. Sistersville will ex-
perience one of the busiest sum-
mers in her history. A number
of modern new buildings will be
erected and numerous others re-
modelled and enlarged during the
present year.
Remember the home talent en-
tertainment at the Auditorium to-

be literally patronized by our CIT

worthy one and the house should

Kuropatkin has accomplished
wonders when all the facts are
taken into consideration. He has
done all that any man could do
with the kind of troops at his
command. The Russian troopers
have not had any heart in this
war from the first. On the other
hand, the japanese common SOL

James Wells of Pittsburg, pass
ed through the city this morning
on his way to the bedside of his
mother, who resides near Alma.
Mrs. Taggart, mother of Mr..
Wells, is quite an aged lady and
a highly esteemed pioneer resident
of Tyler county. Her illness COW
ers a long period, and her large
circle of friends will be panied
to learn her present condition is
of very critical nature.
The civilized world marvels at
the effective fighting force Of the
japanese army. In capacity of
endurance, in rapidity of move
ment and in cheapness of subsis-
ence, no army has ever made so
favorable showing as have the
Mikado's troops. In science and
skill they have never been ex-
celled. In medical science the
Japanese are far ahead of any
other nation. Add to all this the
alacrity with which they face
danger and death. Again supple
ment all the fighting qualities of
the Christian nations with the su-
perstition that makes one not
merely willing but glad to die for
country, and you have a combina-
ton not easily beaten. The old
maxim which teaches that it is

Tho Defense Of DR.. Moore.

To THE EDITOR or THE suN-Sir: In view
Of the vltuperative calumny that is being
heaped by the public press on the head OF
DR.. George T. Moore. recently aisoioaist
and physiologist In the Department Of Ag-
riculture, 1 should like to ask II this is the
same man who only a year ago was the sub
ject Of such unstinted praise for his work
with sulphate Of copper as an algioide In
water supplies. and. what il more important.
for his wonderful Investigations with nitro
gen. fixing on beneficial bacteria by which
run out farm lands could be made TO grow
clover alfalfa and the other legumes without
any fertilization whatever.
1t was stated at that time that ne had dedi-
Gated certain patents covering his discoveries
to the people OF the United States.
II this man. having done this. makes 80
bold as to reap some profit from his own
work. which profit Is open to any one. does
be deserve to be classed with the graftera,
or Is he merely using what he above all men
had a right to use-something that Is the
creature OF his own Intellect?

and the United States, WILLIAM II. would
have very much to gain; against them,
everything to lose.
Such an international combination as
we have here suggested would not only
be invulnerable. but would exercise an
attraction as irresistible as the force OF
gravitation. Russia would be drawn
to it by her league with France; Japan
by her alliance with England. Italy,
Austria and Spain would be impelled In
the same direction by their interests In
the Mediterranean and by their pecuniary
necessities. The same imperative need
Of money for the development OF its
natural res ources would ultimately prove
q lodestone to every country upon earth.

The propensity Of Wisconsin men to 40.
Dept public Office seems likely to be strength
ened by the expert training for 1t which IL
now within the reach Of many aspirants. The
University OF Wi consin at Madison, an in
stitution having 20 instructors and 5000
pupils, maintains special consular course"
for those seeking or willing to accept official
employment in the State Department.
This course, under the designation Of 'con-
sular service is elective, the other elect
i've studies being banking and finance,
transportation, manufacturing and agri-
cultural industries.
The consular course lasts two Year,, the
drst including consular politics. CON
temporary politics and "the history Of
diplomacy In the second year interna-
tional law and the Federal Administration
occupy the attention Of the proficient.
Preparation by technical training for
the duties OF Consuls, consular agen and
Ministers IL no unusual thing In Europe,
but tho requirements Of the foreign service
and the methods Of appointment existing
here have not made such college course
q part Of the customary curriculum.
Heretofore, too, most Wisconsin men
who have distinguished themselves In the
diplomatic or consular service have risen
to such posts along the broad highway Of
Badger State politics, which withholds
few coveted rewards from those who have
been conspicuous as leaders or workers.

Inspector Donald Grants claim against

yesterday by Supreme Court Justice Gle
gerch and judgment was directed In Grants
favor. Grant was dismissed In February.
1908, and reinstated IN April, 1904. He
got no salary from June to April, and the
city declined to pay him on the ground
that he should sue the inspector who held
his phce and draw his salary. and on the
additional grounds that Grant had recos-
nized this by bringing suit against In
spector Walsh also that his name had not
been certified on the payrolls by the Civil
Service Commission.
Justice Greenbaum says that as Grant
became an inspector in 1893 before ths
civil service law went into operation thi'
last defense will not hold, and as to tho
two others it is ridiculous to think tha,
Grant can tell which one Of the fifteen in
inspectors was drawing his particular
salary. Grant found this out in his cult
against Walsh, which he dropped.

Fighting Tropical Diseases.

An article in the first number of the
University Reviev, in May, by Major
RONALD Ross, professor Of tropical
medicine in the University Of Liverpool,
on Malaria and Moral, derives from the
yellow fever scare in the Gulf States a
direct and definite interest which 1t did
not possess at the time OF it's appearance
The pointing of he moral was Intended
for Englishmen, but there Is in it much
Of interest and value for Americans.
Major Ross describes in striking and
novel terms the importance of malaria
and it's treatment, which he considers q
subject OF preeminent general and
economic importance. or general i'm
portanoe, because "malarial fever il
perhaps the most troublesome pest that
aflicts humanity" Not necessarily
fatal, it's enormous total prevalence is

economic importance, because "the fact
that it abounds most In the most fertile
countries renders II the great bar Of
progress in the tropics. Without ma
laria the tropical regions would probably
have been as far advanced as tho tenn
perate countries" Bringing the matter
home to England, the writer thinks that
had his country done what she might
have done to control the disease, her
colonial empire would have been larger

Of the bureau to discredit the work O. the
