The Tragedy in Manchuria.
ON tho New York Globe

The tragedy of war is not often uninter-
esting: rarely does it present spectacle
SO full of dramatic suspense as that which
invests the battlefield in Manchuria today.
Battles fought after declaration OF peace
were not uncommon in the great wars be-
fore the days of electric communication.
The conflict of nearly a million men fully
informed that peace is being formally dis
cussed Is without precedent. Add to this
element of sensational novelty the tremen-
dous issues that hang on the outcome. and
the situation is SUCH may well startle
the whole, world

Ex-Mayor Theo. 7. Davis, in a
letter to w. II. Harvey this week
states that he has leased the second
floor of new building only half a
block from the main entrance to
the fair grounds at Portland, and
that he will hang out the biggest
sign in the city, so that Palousers
will know the place at which to
stop.
In speaking of the Lewis and
Clark fair, which opens next week
Mr.. Davis says:
"The fair has assumed large pro-
portions. 1t is third in point of
cost, second in area and first in the
beauty of its surroundings; being
located at the very foot of Will
lamette Heights for the west view,
and the river for the east border
makes a most beautiful blending
of nature and art. The buildings
are very handsome, and the APP
proximate cost of the whole is
$7,500,000.
We have just returned from
the grounds, where we went to en-
JOY the electric Examinations. The
current was turned on to try the
effect and hearing about it we were
there to see it. | could not under
take to say how many incandes-
cents were aglow, but the sight
was beautiful, beyond my deserip-
ton. Imagine if you will-these
lights strung about a foot apart,
and lines of them on every comb
and cave, corner, tower, dome,
arch and gable, and then thousands
of sprays of them around the
walks, terraces and parks, and you
have miles of them-well, that was
what we saw that evening""

PROGRESS at Panama.

The United States is putting much
money, thought and engineering skill
into the problem of supplying the city
of Panama with pure water. Our en-
gineers have selected the Rio Grande
river as the source of supply and have
set aside a space in the canal zone now
inhabited, on which it is proposed to
build a reservoir capable of holding
500,00O,OOO gallons. This, it is
estimated, will yield 100000 gallons
daily even in the driest season. The
water is found to be pure chemically
and bacteriologically.
In addition, the United States au
thorities are putting in sewerage sys
TENS in the cities Of Panama and Colon
With pure water and good sewerage
the dread scourge of fever will disap
pear, even as it has disappeared from
Havana, and the cities of the cana
belt will no longer be a menace to life
and health along it's whole course. This
work is preliminary, in a measure, tt
the construction of the canal, but il
being carried on contemporaneously.
The government advances firmly to
ward the conquest of the problems Of
canal building, but those persons VIII
are eager for the opening of the ditcl
to ocean steamships next spring will
have to wait. The canal cannot b.
built in day or season.

Secretary Taft corrects the impression
recently given circulation with regard to
the Philippine policy of the government.
The idea had become current from some
thingsEhe was supposed to have said that
it was the hope of the present administra-
ton that the Philippines might be ready
for practical independence within the next
four years, or during the life Of this adj
ministration. This created a good deal
of comment, but the secretary says the
administration has been misunderstood;
that it is not to be expected that the Phil
ippine people will be ready for self gov
eminent during the life Of this generation.
The previous mjsconception Of his atti-
tude was checking investment in the Phil
ippines, capital not being disposed to ven
ture into the islands with the prospect
of a withdrawal Of United States author
ity at such an early date.

A STUDY IN LOGIC
Nebraska State Journal


Old-fashioned school teachers used
sometimes to propose fake syllogisms to
their pupils to test their. reasoning, pow
ers. One Of these tests was as follows:
you 4lave what you never lost -
"Now, you never lost a horn from your
forehead
Therefore. you have a horn on your
forehead. = 81.
AS education progressed and wisdom
grew, even little children became so
prompt to pronounce such reasoning false
because the major premise was lie, that
the test fell into disuse. Until recently
nobody has had so low an opinion Of
American intelligence as to revive this
kind of a joke as argument. but such
representative of vested interests" as
James H. Eckels of Illinois and Mr.. Tut
tie Of Massa chusetts, in arguing against
the right of the government to- cast an
eye over their operations. have been driv-
en- to something very like it. The gist
of their argument is about as follows:

eve never lost the right to run the

sweet wills. .-.-
Therefore, we have the right to run

To the Editor of The Journal. ..s :.
At the meeting Of the citizens to discuss
the bond issue it developed that there are
seven different known causes that produce
typhoid fever that water is one of them;
that SO per cent of all typhoid cases in
Minneapolis are in families using spring
and well water; that we may contract the
disease from the filthy dust of our dirty
streets. 1t may come from the milk of
COWS kept in neglected stables. DR.. Hall,
within the past nine months has con-
demned some 800 wells. =..-' -~~. %
Now, what is 1t that ntaminates the
wells? These wells are all fed by sub
terranean springs. Some Of the springs of
the. companies that sell water about the
city, altho located within the city limits,
are not contaminated or condemned.
Why? The answer is that the people who
have wells throw their Stops, dish water,
ashes and other filth on the ground
around and above their wells. and in the
alleys so close to the wells that they are
contaminated. At this season of the year
1t Is the surface filth from which we I'M
doubtedly get the bulk of our typhoid
cases. The alleys in the fourth ward
down in the very heart of the city, are

five months, and yet the frost has been
out of the rubbish and the dirt piles for
over two weeks. These alleys will not be
cleaned by our street commissioners and
board Of health until after we have had
an epidemic Of typhoid and scarlet fever
Ihere are certain city officials whose duty
1t is to seasonably do this work. yet it is
not done.
If we put in filtration plant at a cost
or 81, 900, what assurance have we that
II Will be properly cleaned every TWENTY
fve days as required, if it is a sand fill
tratlon plant, or if it is a mechanical,
every eight hours? If the filtration plant,
after we have bonded our city and put it
in, is not properly taken care of and
cleaned, we are in far greater danger with
1t than we are without it,
without 1t our death rate from typhoid
IS less than it is in almost any city of the
United States where there is a mechani-
cal tltTatlon plant. It would improve our
city water If our present reservoir was
better guarded and more frequently
cleaned. If our city officials would see to
1t that the river banks, and the river
above our present intake pipe was prop
erly policed and guarded against contain
mating influences it would be worth more

The doctors and the scientists are not
agreed upon its necessity. Not a docto,

A bad reputation is great advertise
ment The word advertisement" is used
here without discrimination as to whether
it be good or bad. A copy of the Mel
bourne Argus Of Feb. s, all the, way from
Aus tralia, \brings a long editorial discus
sing municipal politics In the United States
and relating particularly to those cities
treated in Mr.. Stefrens' book entitled '"The
Shame of the Cities.'' In this editorial,
Minneapolis occupies conspicuous place.
and the services which DR.. Ames has rem
Gered to this city in making it notorious
are taken account Of. After some descrip-
ton Of the municipal graft In Minneapo-
lis under the Ames administration, the
people of the city themselves come in for
some exceedingly uncomplimentary refer
ences. While the statements are perhaps
somewhat exaggerated we probably de-
serve all we get in that way. A city which
will elect man like DR.. Anes to the Of
fee of mayor ought to expect to forfeit
a great deal of the respect and good opin-
ion of the world. Minneapolis has paid
more for the folly of electing Ames to the
office Of mayor in 1902 than we shall
probably ever be able to compute.

Alaska's Political Rights.

The recent massm Getting of the citi-;
zens of Valdez, Alaska, adopted reso-
luton declaring that In behalf of Co.,
denied the right of representation in
any form, we demand Ethat Alaska 'be
annexed to Canada,'' This is an ex-
preston of indignation at the failure
of congress to pass bill, giving Alaska
ia delegate in congress. While there
are. not 10000 American citizens
in Alaska, and scarcely half that
number, there are enough to entitle
them to territorial form of govern
ment and a congressional delegate.
There are probably 10000 to $4,000
American citizens in Alaska, people who
are thoroly capable of governing them
selves so faF as knowledge of Ameri-
can institutions is concerned. They are
almost all from the states, where they
have participated in the duties and
privileges Of citizenship. -
The great obstacle in the way of ter
ritorial government for Alaska and the
choice of delegate, by the popular
vote is the distribution Of the popula-
ton over wide stretch of country,
portions of which are as far removed
from each other by direct line as
Maine is from Texas, and by the routes
of travel as New York is from San Fran
cisco. Under present conditions OF
travel, conditions which are likely to-
exist for some time to come, the repre-
sentatives elected to a territorial legls-
lature assembled at Juneau, the present
capital. would have to leave Nome and
points on the Yukon river before the
goth of October and could not return
home until the next June, because
Nome is not accessible in winter except
by dog team. Returns from elections
on the upper Koyukuk would have to be
sent 600 miles down the river to Fort
Gibbon, from which they could be for
warded by wire, and must come out of
the mining regions of the north by the
first Of October. The representative
from that locality could not return home
until the middle of the following sum-
mer. The difficulties of travel, the lack
OF transportation, Cne HeceooiVy VI
