The "Nouoe Tremya' Suggests an
alliance Nth the United States.

G. p...,shurp Aup 6-The republication here
to.dsy nv the "Novoe Vremya" of an article
written in 1859 by Alexander Hertzen, the Rus
sian author and political agitator, in which
strong plea is made for Russo-American am
ance and American and European systems OF
governments are compared, most favoraoly 10
that of America, Is of considerable signlncance
in view Of the general political situation and
the fact that Russia is to-day on the point OF es-
tablishing general assembly, The presence of
the Russian peace plenipotentaries in the United
states and the "Novoe Vrenya's' relations with
the government add significance to the article
The ''Novos vremya" is fully aware that the re-
vival to-day of Hertzen's ideas is acceptable to
the government. and the printing of 1t may be
called em-official.
Hertzen died at Paris on January 81. 1910,
after mam years of exile because of his ad-
vanced ideas which were not acceptable to the
Russian government. In the course of exile he
published in London a newspaper of liberal
tendencies called "Kelokol" ('The Belf), in
which he Garried on a relentless propaganda for
a constitution in Russia The circulation of
Hertzens works in Russia prohibited until
within the last few months
The opening para graph of the article pub
lished by tie "Novoe Vremya' to-day is a strong
plea for al alliance between Russia and Ameri-
ca, quoted from Philadelphia newspaper print
ed in 1853 and citing physica land political rea-
sons thereon. Hertzen says that Russia should
free hersef from Old World prejudices and fall
laefes and turn to her great neighbor across the
Pacific to learn a lesson from her political and
commercial successes. Russia having reached
the Paci1L" says the article. there stands be-
tween the two nations only the broad ocean. but
naught of antiquated prejudices envy. If
Russia car free herself from the ST Petersburg
traditions, her best and most natural ally is the
United States of America"
Hertzen notes a lack of sympathy on the part
of the other European nations for Russia, and
refers to Americas good will toward the coun-
try. Both countries overflow with strength. en-
ergy and the spirit of organiza tion." continues
the article; 10th are without pasts. and both
began their national lives by breaking with ira
dtions."
Hertzen conmends Americas handling of
questions of sate, saying that American insti-
tutions fulfil all the demands of the democratic
republic. He praises the American Constitution
and the electoral system, saying that Russia
should study these carefully and follow many
OF their features He says that the European
systems of government mean war. misery and
poverty, and asks why Russia follows Europe
The "Novoe Vremya,' referring editorally to
the article, says that it is worthy of the closest
scrutiny

Patriotism is of the most important things
in this life" said DR. Swanson for patriotisTn

his admirable work in purifying Havana, Cuba.
He contracted the disease in that city.
Colonel waring was sent to Havana TO cleanse

IN the country. Although he must have known
the danger he went TO Havana and cleaned it.
He returned late in the fall of 1898 and died
from yellow fever at his home In this city

no cause for alarm. DR.. Doty recalled that there
more reason for alarm in 1897 and 1898,
when the entire Cuban port was quarantined.
He said:
During that year nearly every vessel that
came from the southern countries had one or
more victims of the disease. Some Of them
died In those days there not strict

with high temperatures must rest awhile on the

That is the only way we can detect the disease.
There have been two hundred such removed
during the last few weeks. and it is a notable
fact that only three cases of yellow fever were
found among them. Two were fatal, the third

OF course there were quite a few who had
malaria Nearly all had symptoms of that dis

closely. 1t is deceiving. The line between ma
