JAMAICA FEARS A MONOPOLY
Objects to Pending Mail Contract
as IL Desires to Create
Competition.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 2O-(Special
CablegTam to The Bee. Public opinion
with regard to the mail contract question
Is deeply aroused, and the Jamaicans un-
animous verdict is that the contract should
not be given to Elder, Dempster & Co
The reason of this feeling is that if the
offer to the latter is accepted a practical
monopoly will he established here, which
would be inimical TO commercial interests,
more particularly in view of the fact that
the island only four years ago agreed 10
pay an annual subsidy Of $4,000 in order
to establish a healthy rivalry in two ways,
both In the ocean carrying trade and in the
banana trade.
In the first case this object has been at
tained, but in the latter the attempt to
establish competition was defeated owing
to the combination OF the Elder-Dempster
line with the American Fruit company
which loads English Fruit steamers
a council of the merchants on the ex.
! change have entered a strong protest
against the acceptance OF the new contract
which they maintain is antagonistic TO tho
expressed opinions of the mercantile com,
munity and OF the elective element OF this
legislature, and would also entail seriou,
loss to the island
Judging from a careful analysis OF III,
opinions expressed il is evident that III,
prevailing sentiment is strongly in favo
| OF the contract being continued with III,
Royal Mail Steam Packet company OF
equal terms, thus stimulating competition
and in consequence reducing freight an,
passenger rates.
| Resolutions from various parts Of III
island embodying the above objections an,
urging the continuance Of the Royal Mai
contract are pouring in TO the centra
government and no event in recent year
has 50 ksenly awakened the public interest

RUSSIA IS BUSY NEAR INDIA
Bombay Expresses Concern Over
Construction of Railroads Near
the British Border.

BOMBAY, May 2.-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee.)~Russias aggressive policy on
the Afghan frontier continues. new
branch line of railway is now being con-
structed from Samarkand to Termes, on
the River Oxus, opposite Balkh, which
will be completed within year.
Balkh, in Afghan Turkstan. is about
thirteen days journey from Kabul across
the mountains, though in a straight line
the distance is not above 200 miles.
New military roads are also being made
toward various points on the Afghan from
tier and in spite of its need of troops in
Manchuria, It's forces have not been de-
pleted in this part of the world They
amount to five army corps, or about
100000 men.
Preparations are now in progress which
clearly indicate that after the conclusion
of peace Russia intends to endeavor to
rehabilitate its shattered pre- tige by a
movement southwark. No invasion of India
is projected, but the opinion prevails that
1t proposes to cross the upper Oxus and
occupy northern Afghanistan to the line
of the Hindu Kush, to seize Herat and oc-
cupy Khorassan. and to make its influence
supreme in Teheran and northern Persia
This program could be carried out ever
now without the slightest difficulty anC
without the possibility of its being pre-
vented by Great Britain. Russia woult
| make at present no further advance be
| yond that indicated, and If Great Britain
actively resented Russias action II woulC
have to operate far from it's bases. 1t re
mains for the imperial government to de

FLoRIDA'S PRESS GANG.

The 18th annual session of the Flor
ida Press Association was held at
Lake City last week. The object of
the association seems to be the pro
motion of goodfellOwship among
members. A thing easy Of accom-
plishment when it is considered that
the membership is made up of good
fellows-and some ladies who are
more so.
No man could mingle with the
organized Florida press gang with
out becoming impressed with the
high character Of the men and wo-
men who compose it. Not all are
great journalists, but all are grand i'll
that they seem to possess in marked
degree that one trait so essential to
high class journalistic endeavor--
subordinated self interest to the
public welfare.
In private conversation these men
and women talked of IAN honest pri~
mary law" "Florida's material in
terests," and 1.-THE moral welfare
of communities. Such topics haG
precedence over advertising rates, -"
and kindred topics concerning their
own personal and financial interests.
These matters also had their place,
but they were not prominent.
The various papers read before the
association were of absorbing inter
est and the annual address of the
retiring president, Prof. McBeath,
was an eloquent appeal in behalf of
Il greater and better Florida.
These annual gatherings of the
Florida Press Association are valu-
able in that they bring the moulders
of public opinion together and pro-
mote good fellowship that can be
secured in no other way. Good fell
lnwship is the best foundation for
united work United on any one
question for the upbuilding of Flori-
da, this press association, working
through its various channels of eX-
preston, would prove such II power
for good in The state as to insure the
certain and speedy triumph of right.
true, this power could be used to
ignoble purpose, but it never will
be with the consent of the Florida
Press Association. In this union
there is not only strength, but there
is n composite sense of justice such
as is possessed in no higher degree
by any other association of public
workers.
The association should grow and
grow until it numbers among its
members every editor in Florida.

Religion and Morality in the
Public School.

- > > y - , -
The public school is the expression
of II conviction that the life and con-
tinuanCc of the nation depend on the
education of the people, The school
will correspond to the prevailing
view OF what the state is, what is its
chief function. When the state, in
the general belief, is an economic So
cipty to promote material ends, the
school will take a certain character
and completion from this belief. The
economic theory of the state looks
towards visible and material ends
1t cOntempiateS individual and ma
tional prosperity as II chief concern.
According to this view the state eX-
ing, for comfortable living. 1t en-
courageS pursuits which multiply
convenience, increase wealth, pro
mote luxury, and load the table with
bounty. All this tends to make men
worship the success that comes
through money, and to be unrespOn-
sive to the joys of the spirit.
The state must always include the
economic feature, for by means of it
trade Is kept in motion, white winged
commerce pIoughs the sea, and
homes are built, the resting places of
the human family. The people
must "eat and drink, buy and sell,
plant and build.n But the state is
larger, made for higher ends, than
the economic theory can ever lift
it to.
The state or nation is in the moral
order of the world. National au-
thOrity in the last analysis rests not
in President, Congress or Court, but
in the people. The present struggle
to acquire for the people the refer
rendum aud initiative is an assertion
of this fact. This is moral deter
mInatiOn. This possession of au-
thOriry is not merely political, it is
a moral condition. 1t is not cOnferr-
ed by man, The moral order of the
world is = manifestation of the de-
vines mind, the exhibition of a di-
vine purpose. And so the state is
not an institution of human but of
divine origin. Washington, i'll his
first inaugural, said, mo people can
be bound to acknowledge and adore
the invisible hand, which conducts
the affairs of men, more than the
people of the United States" In this
divine origin, and in the develop
ment of the state in patriotism, in
social and industrial order, and in
righteousness, consists the moral or
der of the state. The perpetuity of
the state rests in its conforming to
divine Righteousness. Assumption
OF the peoples authority by Presi-
dent without the sanction of law is
usurpation. So far as this is done
the state loses its divine democratic
character and becomes imperialistic.
The state is in the great and on
ward progress towards "a far-off di-
vine event. which is not yet reveal
I'd. We feel the stir and impulse Of
this event, and our souls anticipate
it in their inmost longings. And the
schools must correspond. The school
must be instinct with this higher
view of the character of the state.

ADVICE TO THE SICK.

Advice, 1t is said, is cheap. But 1t
sometimes is dear when accepted in
cases of sickness. This does not ie-
fer to the advice of physicians,
which, of course, is Gear, but to the
advice of we'll meaning and sincere
ly sympathetic friends, which often
is far dcarer still.
All know how prone people are to
advise one who is ill and to tell what
they did and how they obtained re-
lief under what they think were OK
actly similar circumstances.
1t stands to Reason that these good
people understand neither the ills
with which they are afflicted nor the
influences that brought about their
cures. But the sick do not reason.
In their pain and anxiety they are
like young robbins that sit with open
mouths and swallow whatever is
dropped in, whether ii be worms OF
shingle nails.
And after a long experience with
the pills and pOtions of sympathetic
friends, death, if it's not certain, is
at least welcome. 1t seems rs
though it would be sweet relief to
sleep under the sod.
According to Herodntus, this hui
man habit held good many centuries
ago. lie quotes the following rs one
of the wiscst of Babylonian institu-
tiOns: "rhey have no physicians,
but when II man is ill they lay him
in the public square, and the pass
ersby come up to him, and if they
have ever had his disease themselves
or have known anyone who has stuff
cred from it, they give him advice,
recommending him to do whatever
they found good in their own case or
IN the ease known to them. AID no
one is allowed to pass the sick man
in silence without asking him what
his ailment is"
Excepting for our present thin
veneer of civilization and abundant
supply of physicians, human nature
seems to have been about the same
in all ages.
Bnt what is the use of protesting?
The habit continues, in spite of the
graveyards it has filled, For we
like sympathy when we are sick,
And, maybe, after all, sympathy is
better than nostrums in most of our
little ailments.
Anyway, the neighbOr who drops
her own household cares and comes
in with sympathy and devotion
seems to have almost divine healing
in her loving touch.
She may know nothing of pathOlo-
gy or therapeutics, but she knows
what the sore heart hungers for and
supplies it as no other can.
She may help us to die in many
cases, but on the other hand, if We
get we'll, she has taught us there are
things worth living for.
If we escape going to join the an
gels above, We at least have learned
that there are angels on earth.
