HEALTH IN PANAMA.

The stories brought out of Panama
by George B. MatIock of the govern
ment service, and Miss Robinson, a
nurse, indicate that something has
been concealed down there. 1t is but
little while since there were glow
ing reports regarding conditions on
the isthmus. We were told that dis
ease and death had been conquered;
that, while there was some sickness. 1t
was of an inconsequental character
Now, Mr.. Matlock says that measles.
black measles, yellow fever and ma.
laria are prevalent He says there
was one case of Bubonic plague, and
adds: THE dead trains run from
Colon to Monkey Hill, mile and a
half south of Colon, always once and
sometimes as many times at fourteen
day, and they sometimes have as
many as four collins aboard. In fact
there is always so many cases of yell
low fever around that the keep ten
graves always ready in cases of emer-
gency.
Miss Robinson declarde that sick
ness was increasing and that condi.
tions generally were becoming worse.
OF course the statements made by Mr..
Matlock and Miss Robinson will be
officially denied. We will again be
given information that will lead us 10
surmise that the climate on the 18TH
mus is ideal and that the health con-
ditions are all they should be. 1t is in
evitable that there should be some
is inevitable that there should be a
great deal of sickness. But, with all
the improved methods of scientific
sanitation at their command, the gov
eminent officers in charge of the work
should be able to maintain a fairly
reasonable good health rate.
If they do not it will be because
somebody is incompetent. The Ameri
can people want that canal and they
are going to have mighty little pa
thence with careless methods or worse.
We have tackled large undertaking
on the isthmus, but We can fulfill our
contract. If we don't fulfill it it will
be the first great undertaking at which
the nation has failed.
1t will be hard to get men of the
right sort to go to Panama, if suf-
ficient. inducements are offered, they
can be had The government must OF
fer the inducements because it must
have the men and it must see that
only the best men are secured.

Prominent Attorney Missing.

Fl. H. Fellows, an attorney of Ban
croft, is missing, and over him hangs
three indictments by the grand jury,
charging a most serious offense. Eel
lows was taken before justice of the
peace and gave bond of $500 for his
appearance and was released. Citizens
of Bancroft were indignant and laid
the matter before the grand jury,
which was in session at Algona, and
Fellows was indicted twice on the
charge of sodomy and one for indecent
exposure. But when warrant was
issued for his rearrest he was nowhere
to be found. The parents of his boy
victim were so wrought up that 1t was
feared violence would be done If Eel
lows should be apprehended. He has
been prominent in county politics and
in affairs at Bancroft, and hitherto has
borne good reputation. He had prao-
ticed law at Bancroft two years.

Tho Philippine Nightmare.


The follies Of government are like
the follies Of our youth-they come
back to haunt us. sleeping and waking,
while the more serious ones detriment-
ally affect our whole lives and go with
us to the graveyard mold.
One Of the greatest Of Uncle Sans
follies was the requirement Of the
Philippine archipelago. AS hideous
reminder of the tremendous cost in
lives and gold comes another tale Of as
sassination at Jolo, The other day Gov
ernor SCOTS secretary was knitted to
death within range of the sentries SEN
tries, mind you, night and day, and life
unsafe within range Of their rifles. The
night before this killing, while the
young officers were having a dance,
bullets came In through the windows.
And this we are paying for at a heavy
rate, many millions each year, to say
nothing Of the thousands Of young
Americans taken from their homes and
from the business and professional
walks Of life to be made into food for
the boloman's knife or to be sent home
as permanent invallds.
A nation, like an individual, can as
surely bleed to death through its ex'
treme arteries as il the heart itself
were opened. England has suffered al
most to dissolution in South Africa
Russia is wasting her strength in Man
churia and the China sea. Let US hope
that our own country may turn from
the Philippines before she, like Spain,
finds it everlastingly too late.
