Portsmouth.

Surely this Is the day of short cuts, of
shirtslceves diplomacy and of business. Did
anybodY imagine when the peace ENJOYS
met at Portsmouth that in fortnight they
would cover the ground they have? 1t was
easier to believe that they would proceed
more slowly; that we should witness the
measured order of a five-act drama. The
task in hand was 80 difficult and moment
Gus, haste seemed not only impossible but
unwiSe. But here We are, at the end or two
weeks. with the minor points of the negotia-
lions all disposed OF and the two sides at
close grips over the major points 1t breaks
the record for speed.
Our negotiations for peace with Spain
were comparatively simple. She was down
and out and the world expected us to pre-
pare the terms and send them to her to
sign. It looked like the work of a few days.
with the clerks the busiest men engaged
But the negotia tons covered two months
and ten days. Many communications passed
between Paris and Washington and Paris
and Madrid before the treaty was laid upon
the table for signatures One has only to
compare that task with the present one to
appreciate the remarkable expedition made
ut Portsmouth.
Tuesday. we are told. will tell the tale.
Let US wait and see. 1t may, but why
should it" Why. with the whole outside
world wishing for peace, and two great
armies ready upon the word to renew hos
tilities. should these ENJOYS throw up their
job impossible after only two sittings
over the warmly contested points? AS a
matter of fact they have just reached the
stage where their talents as diplomats and
negotiators find room for full play.

who forced it. But it has nothing to do
with Sakhalin indemnity. 1t may
prove to be nothing but a play Russia s
promises to her own are as brittle as those
she has made TO outsiders. What Japan
IS now considering and demanding is jus
tice for herself. She wants, first of all
things. to safeguard herself against Russian
aggression in the future, and to be reim-
bursed for the heavy expenses Russia has
forced upon her by this war.

roads are the main causes Of the disease
spread. Just SO do many people still hold
fast to the general contagion" theory OF
the yellow fever transmission and insist
upon the fumigation or destruction Of arti-
Giles which have been exposed" to tho
fever And this Is In the face Of a practi-
caily positive and conclusive proof that the
disease is transmitted solely by mosquitoes.
The weight of reason certainly seems to
rest with the assumption that typhoid Is
taken into the system by way OF the ALI
mentary canal alone. and Is not breathed
in through the lungs or rubbed in through
the skin. Foul doors and dust and weeds
may be factors of Importance in that they
portend unsanitary conditions In the vfcin-
ity or induce a low state of health in which
the Individual is more subject to typhoid In
lection than otherwise. The dust of the
streets and roads is undoubtedly deleterious
to health Psychologists have found an
appalling array of malevolent germs In
specimens of city street dust. and there is
doubtless a high percentage of danger from
the dust of the country. But thus far there
Is no general belief in the theory that the
lungs are an avenue of transmission for
this particular disease. which : finds its
quickest and as far as proved. only means
through the mouth and stomach.
1t is unnecessary to wait for proof that
the mosquito is one of the communicating
causes of typhoid before proceeding sys-
tematcally with a campaign of extermina-
ticn. The insect is a pest whether 1t trans
n its disease or not. 1t Is already proved to
be guilty of yellow fever spread. 1t Is
strongly suspected, If not positively con-
victed of the spread of malaria. 1t Is as
cused of helping the typhoid germ on its
rounds of the human family
The same is true of dust, of weeds. of foul
spots and of stagnant places. whatever the
actual relationship of these elements to the
typhoid infection. They are dangers They
should in all cases and at all seasons be at
tackled vigorously and if possible eliminated.
Good municipal housekeeping alone, regard
less of sanitation, demands the cleaning or
every city and the abatement of all NUS
ances. But the people should never weaken
their own individual defenses against ty-
phoid. They should continue to boil the
water until 1t is all filtered by the city and
to cook their foods thoroughly and to
choose their milk supply carefully and
otherwise to safeguard themselves against
this disease In the ways that are pointed
out by scientists of renown. who. whether
they mistaken in this particular or not
are surely giving good advice.

The Typhoid Medium.

The local prevalence of typhoid fever to
an unusual. almost epidemic, degree has
stimulated the propagation and promuiga-
ton OF individual theories as TO the nature
of the disease and the methods of its trans
mission. The Star has lately received a
number OF such letters. contributed by its
readers and has printed them freely. in the
belief that a full discussion of the subject
is desirab BILE whatever may be the nature OF
the comments. II is matter that intimate
ly affects more than three hundred thousand
people living within short radius and 1t
cannot be too thoroughly ventilated or too
well understood
II Is plain that there is no positive agree
ment as to the exact methods whereby the
disease Is communicated. although the
weight of opinion favors the food and water
supplies as the only media OF transmission
The unclean methods of people who live in
the unsewered rural regions are held respon-
slb)e for the greater part of the disease
spread. 1t is firmly believed by advanced
sanitarians that the germs find their way
Into the water, the milk. the vegetables and
the oysters. and that If these articles of
food and drink are taken uneooked into the
system the water unboiled, the milk unster-
ilized and the vegetables and oysters raw,
there Is danger of typhoid Infection.
Notwithstanding the fairly satisfactory
means of transmission. many PEOPLE believe
that the weeds. the foul odors of decay and
dampness or the aust of the streets and

Few Great Men in Politics.


From the Louisville Courier-JournaI.
Men of today, who follow their avoca-
tons faithfully but without unseemly dis
play, enjoy but small share OF contem-
porary appreciation. The south as well as
the north had many such men in public life
who in good time. will have due credit &C
corded them by posterity 1t is only fair to
say however, that the really great men of
today are not i'll politics. They are in works
of construction. A first-class man cannot
afford to go to Congress for $1,000 year.
He is not willing to surrender freedom and
affiuence at home to take poverty and sav-
cry al Washington. He prefers to make
senators than to being senator himself.
