There is no doubt, then, that very
 practical element in modern d sanita, ton is the enforcement of regulations
 against public splitting. Owing to bad habits formed in previous generations
 it is not going to be easy to break up the splitting nuisance, but even severe measures are justifiable, since so much good can be accomplished, and physicians must be leaders in the movement. In New York city, says American Medicine, the death rate from tuberculosis among the sweepers in the street cleaning department is so much fin excess of that of the rest of the population as to make it very clear that the splitting habit is an un-
 fortunate source of serious evil and an important element in spreading one of the worst of modern diseases. Eng fish sanitary statisticians show that a correspondiDgly high death rate exists among the scrub women of the Eng
 fish metropolis, and especially among those who are employed in cleaning large office buildings. A distinct low ering of this death rate has been brought about in recent years by the distribution of cuspidors throughout the corridors of such buildings. As can readily be realized, this custom is only of comparatively recent origin, but it's effect serves to show how much of suffering even a trivial ameliOratlon in sanitary matters may prevent. In New York city the arrest of number of violstors of the city ordinances against splitting on the streets has led to many protests in the newspapers. and the assertion by ont few intelli- gent people of the necessity for ex- pectOration. The answer for this would seem to be that only one sex
 finds it necessary to spit upon the street, and that this is due rather to lad habit fostered in early years than to any special liability of the male sex to catarrhal conditions. requiring the election of oral discharges. Perhaps, however. for a time at least. or until there has been an educstion of the next generation in this matter. the pro vision by city authorities of receptacles for approximation on each block may be a desirable addition to the sanitary neoe=ary for city life.

HEARD IN PASSING

The suppression of an improper play,
 in New Haven, is to be followed In

 he cannot quite decide he will give the public the benefit of the doubt and

 You editors dare not tell the truth" sa1d a clergyman to the editor. You are right" the editor replied, and the minister who will at all times tell the bare truth about his members, alive or dead, will not occupy the pulpit more than one Sunday, and he will find it necessary to leave town in hurry.'' The minister went away looking very thoughtful, while the editor turned to his work.-Chapman, Kan, Lookout.
 It Is time the state took stern meas ures toward stopping the practice of peddling free pills from door to door and leaving them where children can get hold of them. New Haven and Bridgeport have both reported in stances recently in which young chill dren have come across free samples of medicine left in railways and, think ing them to be candy, have proceeded to devour them with dire results. Headache pills eaten by the wholesale are bad enough for grown people, but when they are taken into the delicate stomachs of children prompt action on the part of skilled physicians to save life is necessary. When the state gets all through legislating for the protec- tion of grown-up people. 1t may find time to adopt and enforce safeguards for the children-Ansonia Sentinel.
 While the committee appointed by the authorities of Yale to investigate the graft question in college athletics is busy another committee should be appointed to inquire into the impertiu- ent suggestion of private dormitory agent on York street that lodgment ill that home during freshman year. is equivalent to an admission ticket to all social honors. The Yale News charges that an attempt to control the of the freshmen football interests can be traced to that source. We congratulate the undergraduates upon their possible determination to get at this ''pull9 evil and destroy it. It is there. and it has done mischief enough, in lowering the tone of social life there, and embittering deserving men who place character above lick splitting. Since the Yale citadel is to be cleaned in one department let it be cleaned in all.-New Haven Register.

There will probably be strong ef-
 fort made this winter to secure the re-
 storation of the army canteen. Nearly
 all the officers of the army favor it on the ground that it makes life more
 attractive to the soldiers and is most effective in preserving discipline. Un- der present conditions, the soldiers, not being able to get anything intoxi- eating in camp, when they do get to drinking outside, frequently take too much, and while under the influence of the vile connections served them in the dens which surround the forts, not only commit many crimes and mis- demeanors but fall an easy prey to sharpers and their female accom- plices. There is no doubt that the great number of assertions from the army is largely due to this cause, the soldiers becoming intoxicated away from their commands and remaining so until ashamed or afraid to return. Congress has so far been dominated by the influence of those who prefer to see the army demoraHzed and the interests suffer rather than that the common soldier should be able to purchase beer under the na- tion's flag, and it will probably remain SO.

officials. Finally matters came to such pass that congress took hold of the case and the brutalities revealed by testimony before an Investigating committee mucQd more resembled an account of the festivities of tribe of Congo negroes than of the intellectual pastimes of civilized white men study ing to become officers of the United States army and navy. This testi- mony was almost blood -curdling. It developed, however, that hazing in this form was at that time confined al most wholly to West Point and con gross took such a decided stand that it has now practically disappeared from both institutions. By this is meant 'Thazing," where gang of row dies takes one or two young cadets and puts them through series of stunts calculated to exhaust them and to humiliate them. But there remains the fist fight" which being one of the cherished traditions of the academies, will probably survive even the shock attending the death of one of the par ticipants in the latest exhibition of manly prowess. The rules for these fights are simple; if a cadet believes his "honor'' has been injured by the actions of another, he challenges him to battle, the rule being that the con testants shall fight stripped to the waist for twenty eight rounds, if they are able to go that far When it is considered that most prize fights are limited to fifteen to twenty-five rounds, when men trained to an edge meet in the squared circle" the brutality of expecting couple of youths of less than twenty to fight twenty-eight rounds without any training, is strik- ing. The injured youth was carried to his room and the affair "con- cealed, which is to say that while iI was generally known, it was not re- ported officially until the next day, too late to save his life.

Defeat From Local Causes.

CINCINNATI, O.. Nov. 9.-Following the defeat of the Republican party in this state and city, United States Sen ator J. B. FOraker has authorized the following statement: The defeats we have sustained in the city and in the state have no relation to national poli- tics. but are due solely to local and other causes Whether right or not, the belief obtains that the great mass of voters have not had any proper repre- sentation in nominating conventions and that a man with an ambition to en- gage in the public service had no op- pOrtunity unless he was fortunate enough to be put on a prearransed slate"

for very great alarm. Macoris has never been regarded as center for revolutionists.
 This is the first action taken by the United States government to preserve peace in the Caribbean sea and terri tory adjacent to the Panama canal since President Roosevelt 90 plainly announced in his recent southern tour his belief that the American army and navy must be considered to some ex- tent an international police force. His assertion then caused the comment in European capitals that 1t was an ex- tension of the Monroe doctrine.
 It was pointed out by the president that as the result of chronic disorders. attended with a constant increase of debt, the state of things in santo Do mingo had become hopeless unless the United States or some other strong government inteFposed order out of the chaos.

The danger in life. insurance agitae ton is that some honestly disturbed folk will decide to have no more to do with the insurers, just as people alarmed by bank defaults have some times returned to the stocking and the chimney back as safe deposits. Such a decision would be rashly fool ish. Life insurance has been boon to the human race, having intervened between widows or orphans and desti- tuition, having inculcated habits of economy and having taught lesson most needed-the value of the long look ahead. .,

MAKE PROFIT
Of GARBAGE
Some of the Senators
Believe Thing is
Possible.

The letter of superintendent Hollo-
way in relation to the collection and
destruction of garbage. with the ex-
pense of the work, read in the Senate
yesterday, will be found below. A very
general desire that this letter be pub
lished was expressed by the Senators,
as it is believed to be the purpose of
some of the statesmen to attempt to
make the disposition of the garbage a
matter of profit to the Territory in
stead of expense, if the thing can be
done, in the future. Certainly, a profit
is made of it in many cities on the
mainland:

Redemption to Be Given at
Auditorium Tonight.
Prices Low Enough to Suit
Everyone.
JUST RIGHT FOR ORGAN
Composition Especially Adapted
to the Instrument.
Prominent Topeka SOloists Will
Be Heard.

Tonight the Topeka. Choral society,
with Prof. George Barlow Penny di-
recting. and at the organ, will give
Gounod's great religion soratorio 1.-The
Redemption at the Auditorium 1t
viii be one of the big musical events
OF the season.
The Choral socity has been at work
for a long time in preparation to Civ
ing this concert, and has never ap-
peared to as good advantage as it will
tonight. The OratOrio is a wonderful
lyrical setting forth of great religious
matters. It lends itself particularly to
accompaniment by a great wind in
strument, and in fact was written by
the composer with such an idea in
view
The accompaniment is in itself a
treat. Gounod's great composition
powers show themselves in this work
to their fullest extent in the setting
of the oratorio. The accompaniment
gives ''The Redemption a magnificent
strength and individuality, and these
can only be brought out best on an
organ.
THE curious have heard the organ
but the music lovers have only had a
taste of it, - said Professor Penny this
morning. "Of the endless number of
combinations and tone effects posi-
| bic, a variety will be heard this even
ing in the accompaniment to the Re
demption-effects some of them most
startling, and all of them entirely
new to those who have heard the
organ before. The representation Of
Chaos will begin promptly at s
O'Clock, and the doors will be closed
during the fifteen minutes of the pre-
! lude In part one occurs the vivid
orchestral illustration Of the scenes of
the CrucinxiOn, chief of which IS the
march Of the Mob and the Roman
Soldiers to Calvary. Most uncanny
will be the imitation of the lightning,
the rending of the Veil in the Temple,
the earthquake. The color effects in
the representation of the darkness will
be most realistic. Harps will be used
to accompany the angelic choir which
Will be placed in one of the swell
boxes at the very top of the organ.
Other unique organ effects will be
heard in The Prayer of the Apostles,
The Descent of the Holy Ghost, and
in the Great Hymn of the Apostles.
1.-THE Choral society was never bet
ter balanced than it will be this even
/ ing. The soloists have been selected
from the best of our resident must
clans. It is we'll to remember further
more, that the Redemption is one Of
the greatest oratorios ever written.
It's composer. Gounod, stands at the
head of the modern French school.
He is the composer of the operas
Faust and Othello, as we'll as much
