The so-called new diplomacy dates from
the time when Mr.. Hay returned to the
United States to succeed William r. Day
as Secretary of State. The new diplomacy
has made the United States nation to be
considered in any move on the International
chessboard and has given to this country
the voice 1t now has in the great discus
sions by the concert of powers. The new
diplomacy is no longer a thing new and I'M
tried. Under Mr.. Hays lead it has reveal

COPIED with and been more than at match

his personal relations with men and af-

kept the faith. 1t took some time for the
nature OF this new diplomacy to be realized
in the old world. but Mr.. Hay and his
methods are understood and appreciated

4 CHAPTER ON SJICIDE.

A few years before his death the late Robert c. Ingersoll adminis- tered a shock to the religious world by justifying suicide. In brief, his contention was that conditions often arise in the lives of men when it is not only pardonable, but absolutely right, reasonable, desirable and in accordance with the hight st mo al principles that they should end their physical existence. Mir. In- gersoll often spoke truly and always seemed to speak from the heart. When a man has reached a stage where he can never hope to be other than a burden on those he loves; when the world can no longer compensate him for his sui fering ard he can confer no benefit upon the world; when il is utterly impossible that his life should be made other than an inconvenience to himself and to his fellows: these are some of the times Mir. lngersoll pointed out as appropriate for sui eide. And the ground taken by that good man, whose philosophy sought no deeper reason than the impulses of his own tender heart was shared by not few.
 But let us consider this matter a little further. Let Us initiate NIT. Ingersoll so far as leaving out all religious precept goes-let Us leave God out. Then how many of the actual suicides could be declared - we will say-just' Selfdes,ruction is a grim subject and is little talked of: bu, it is SO common m the north that evidently i, is though, much about by many
 Many of the suicides are young rome ot them are extremely old. and few of them have undergone any kind ot misfortune that pre- gludes them irosn attaining or dis.

seminating happiness. If the truth could be known, most of them re s}r, to self destruction through the very basest of motives, and all O. them. probably. through perverted ideas of right and wrong.
 A sad case is that of young newspaper man who went to Sew. ard peninsula during the early ex. citement there. He was caught ill a storm and so badly frozen that he lost both feet and both hands. Nc selfishness induced that man to quit the world: an over sensitive generous nature sought to relieve his friends of d burden, and he swallowed poison. It was mis- take! His friends would have been made happier and better in caring for him; and had they failed, as a matter of principle he ought to have demanded that the world yield him his due. He had a brain and heart better than most; and he ought to have considered brain and heart without hands and feet supe- rior to hands and feet without brain and heart.
 Ii he made a mistake, what ex- cuse is there for the whole and strong who slink out into the dark ness and hide themselves away be- cause the world does not yield them treasures they never earned? Nc unselfsh love or high moral resolve urges them kerce; no duty calls them. They are shirks-deserters from the ranks because the war is not waged for the1r especial glory. They go off and lie down ard leave others with all the work to do. They are dishonest, because they repudiate their obligations to the world; and cowardly, because they will not fight the world for their due.
 Above and beyond all this is an, other thing-the underlying princi- pie of it all A mans life is no, literally his own: he never earned it; he has no lasting title to it; and consequently, in all justice, he has no right to retain it so long as it is prolific of pleasures and then lay i, down when it becomes irksome If not God, then bis fellow men should consent before he car fairly

COAL DECISION
HANDED DOWN

Washington, d. c., Dec. The
interstate commerce commission IN
an opinion by Commissioner Alfer
has announced its decision in favor
of the complainant in the case of the
Red Rock Fuel Company against
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad com
pany- I. q
The railroad company declined to
hermit a side track connection be
tween its lines and switch or side
track to complainants coal mine IN
the Fairmonf district of West Vir-
ginia. for the purpose of receiving
interstate shipments of coal from rom
such mine, although it has provided
and maintains side track connections
for their mines in that district from
which large quantities of coal arc
shipped TO interstate destinations.
The decision is that the dlscrlm'
ination is not only wrongful as DC
tween complainant and other more
favored shippers, but amounts to nm IN
due unreasonable preference by th'
carrier of itself, and than an qrdel
forbidding further violation OF sec
ton three of the statute should IS
sue accordingly.

An Extra Session.

The governor may call a special
session of the legislature on an extra
ordinary occasion. What constitutes
an extraordinary occasion has not
been defined, but practically speaking
1t may be said to be any time that to
the mind of the governor seems extra
ordinary.
When the legislature Is thus con-
vened it can sit but thirty days, and
its action must be confined to subjects
named by the governor In the call, I'M
wise minded. In the latter case its
W / knows no bounds except those that
apply to regular sessions.
Governor Jelks seems inclined to
call an extra session after New Or
leans cruel fever is over, but no one
can say what will then render the &C.
casion extraordinary until the govern
or's call naming the items extraordi-
nary has been issued. At this writing
II would be difficult to name subject
SO extraordinary that 1t can not wait
year longer after waiting three
years-so extraordinary as to demand
an extraordinary expense on the part
of the state of about fifty thousand
dollars.
However the situation may look diff
ferent from the viewpoint in the cap
itol, which is after all the only view
point recognized in the constitution
of 1901.

Science. Not Frost. This Year.
King Lear.

The present yellow fever visitation
has lasted in the open month, and
probably In reality two, If not three,
months, and yet the number of deaths
stood on Friday night last at O'Clock
at 1913. Such a mortality is not bit
alarming if the figures of mortality in
previous New Orleans epidemics be
considered. The epidemic of 1873
killed 1877 persons in New Orleans
and SLIGO in Memphis. This was the
last great outbreak of the fever in this
country. In September, 1897, a slight
wave of fever was begun at Ocean
Springs, Mississippi, finally spreading
to Montgomery. 1t came very late in
the season, and its victims were not
numerous.
In 1857 New Orleans had an cpl
demic which swept away 3107 lives;
in 1853 one that resulted in 4S45
deaths; In 1855 one that led to 2670
deaths, and in 1853 came the greatest
of all epidemics in the history of the
Crescent City. The death list footed
up 784S. The epidemic of 1878 was the
severest the country has ever known,
for it swept over an extensive district,
resulting In 65,976 cases, and 14,S09
deaths.
In those days no one knew anything
about the insect dissemination of the
disease, and no steps were, therefore,
taken to keep mosquitoes from fever
patients. It's spread was therefore UNI
checked. 1t went where it pleased,
or rather where the mosquitoes laden
with the poison desired to go or were
carried in cars or boats.
This year experience and observa-
ton are being applied, and the fight
of the next two weeks will demon
strate, let us hope, the helpfulness of
science. The marine hospital service
is hopeful 1t proposes to leave no
stone unturned towards the crushing
out of the fever. Havana points the
way, and. the next two weeks will de-
eide the issue. There is certainly
room for. the hope that science will
anticipate frost in New Orleans this
season.
