SATURDAY, JUNE "A. 1905.
WHITE WASHING.

The way in which the President has been plying the brush in the last few days shows that If he is ever hard up for a Job he can safely enter the field of white washers. Just why he should so vigorously have entered the lists in favor of Assistant Secretary of State Loomfs. Is unexplainable except on the theory that Loomis is practically member of his official household and can. therefore, do no wrong. The public however. will be quick to form its own judgment, and. unless we greatly mistake, that judgment will not be favorable to the Presidents action. So far as developed Mir. Bowen showed that. to say the least, Loomis's conduct while Minister to Venezuela was not above suspicion and the President with all his harsh treatment of Bowen has not disproved single one of his utter ances. It looks like case of official protection. and that 1t was necessary to give that protection in the hope of turning the tide in that direction. The President has by no means heard the last of this Bowen-Loomis matter
 On a par with the Bowen matter stands the elaborate defense of Secre- tary Morton The Presidents own chosen legal advisers recommended a course, which the President did not approve and in the face of their splen- aid showing shoves 1t aside and seeks to forestall public opinion by an off, ficial defense almost in the nature of 4 prociamation. If members of his cabinet have violated the law and the machinery which he set in motion has brought out the facts, he goes back on ali his high sounding talk when he in- terferes and seeks to prevent the law taking its course,
 As a white washer the President is striving to make a record.

The drop back to a schedule between New York and Chicago of twenty hours by the New York Central line is to be commended. but 1t would be better still if a still slower time table could be arranged Railroad officials ought not to run trains at greater speed than fifty miles an hour and it would be better for the country>if even that was lowered. Very few roads are physi- cally equipped to run safely over forty miles an hour.

UNSICHTLY BALD SPOT
Caused by Sores on Neck. Merciless itching For Two
 Years Made Him Wild.
ANOTHER CURE BY CUTICURA

"For two years my neck was cov- cred with sores, the humor spreading to my hair, which fell out, leaving an unsightly bald spot, and the soreness, inflammation, and Inerciless itching made me wild. Friends advised Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment, and after a few applications the torment sub sided, to my great joy. The sores soon disappeared, and my hair grew again, as thick and healthy as ever. shall always recommend Cuticura. (signed) H. ]. Spalding, Io4 w. 1o4th St.. New York CitYs"

The Chattanooga Times says that people are beginning to realize that pure and undefiled religion are not promoted by impure and dehiins lan- guage." If The Times is correct it Is a credit to the people, just as it is d discredit to them that they did not long ago find 1t out and act on It. It is one of the anomalies of our religious belief that good people will flock to the church to listen to vulgar black guard who uses language and expres- sions that he would not dare use on the streets or in the home of one of his hearers. There Is a wrong con- ception extant of the Christian reli- zion if 1t can be strengthened and pro- noted by the rawlings of a man who takes advantage of the safety of the pulpit to use language that he would be afraid to use elsewhere, and that DO decent man would allow used in his home

AN IMPoRrANT CIyIC DUTr.

The Hartford Times declares that "a city which in these days permits It's death rate from typhoid fever to re- main very high advertises that it will not take trouble to protect the lives of its citizens" This is to assert in effect that typhoid Is a preventable disease and that the city can and should control 1t. In support of it's contention it produces statistics to show that the death rate from typhoid in Pittsburg. Pa, since 1900 has run from 124 to IA for each 100000 in- habltants. while in Dresden, Germany, the average is only four That there must be a valid reason for this great discrepancy Is evident, and 1t is given by Mrs. Samuel Hopkins Adams, who has been thoroughly investigating the subject. He says:
 The German city. being situated on a huge natural sewer purifies the water 1t draws from that sewer; the Ameri- the sewage just as it comes. Pitts burg draws it's water supply from two sources of equal contaminatton: the Allegheny and the Monongahela Rivers. lypnOtu As dlWtyS pEeScnI OH DOtn thickly populated watersheds. Pitts burg receives this water through in takes above the city, and distributes 1t. unpuriied, with all Its bacilli in good working order.
 That typhoid is a germ disease. and that the germs breed and flourish in Impure water are two facts which ap- pear to be established beyond dispute. and 1t Is equally true that when this germ-In infested water Is taken into the human stomach the natural result is to implant this dangerous disease In the system. That all who drink the water do not contract the disease is no better argument against the theory than Is the fact that all the inhabitants of a city do not contract yellow fever dur ing an epedimic is an argument against the contagious or infectious nature of yellow fever.
 Admitting then. that typhoid is a germ disease. and that it is commu- nicated by foul drinking water. 1t is very plain that The Times Is correct in it's opinion of a city which permits q large death rate from 1t. As that paper sees it. the best thing is to get pure water for a city, the next best IS to purify such water as can be had.

While the rain came down in tor rents. the man who was caught Tn tne June shower without an umpreila stood under shelter.

and the worst Is to adopt contami- mated source and make no serious ef- fort to render 1t safe. But this last Is substantially the condition of many cities besides Pittsburg."
 It is evident that the time is past when city can be excused if 1t fails to take effective and intelligent measures to protect the citisens It is the good fortune of but few cities to have sufHcent supply of such pure water as Montgomery has, but that Is only the greater reason why the au- thorities should take such precautions to purify the water as Dresden has done. If an intelligent and careful system of alteration will so purify germ laden water as to reduce the death rate from typhoid to almost noth1 ing 1t is plainly the duty of other cities thus threatncd to adopt like measures for the public safety. There ought not to be any need for argument about that.

It absolutely forbids any man who has any official connection with the city government from mak- ing any contract for work, supplies or any other service with the city. and provides summary means for/ its en. forcement. This way of getting jobs has been favorite scheme with boodlers all over the country and in most cases where plundering has been detected some body holding position with the city government has been found up to the armpits in the jobbery.

We are furnished with a new measure and a new definition of patriotism by a recruiting offlcer for the United States Navy. He tells us that "patriot- ism is strongest in the Western and Middle States. Those States give us by far the largest proportion of re- cruits." According to this authority. then. patriotism consist in volunteering for service in the navy. and the num- ber of those who thus volunteer indi- cates the relative amount of patriot
 ism of the different sections of the Union. That we look on as an exceed ingly weak argument, for there are civic duties which demand a higher grade of patriotism than joining the navy does. and 1t requires higher order of courage and devotion to duty to perform them than 1t does to volun- teer in the naval service. As The Chicago Journal says: 'The nation, the States. the cities and the towns are all waging contests with forces which are undermining the life of the State. These are contests between civic righ- teousness and civic dishonor; between manhood and honesty on the one hand and greed and corruption on the other. These are mighty contests which try the courage of the bravest hearts and the faith of the most hopeful souls"

"A lot of funny things happen in this repertoire business" said an old repertoire actor reminiscently yester-
 T was in a company once. playing a week stand at a Mississippi tank town. The climax to the third act of the blood and thunder melodrama was the killing of the Nheavy man by the leading woman. The show was going good but when the heroine started to pop her pistol, the cartridges snapped. She pulled the trigger three times and every time there was just snap. The heavy was looking foolish and feeling foolish and the audience didn't know whether 1t was the proper thing for the pistol to snap or not. The stage manager saw what was the matter and rang down the curtain. But what do you think that fellow did? He got out some new cartridges, put them in the heroine's gun. rung up the curtain and let the woman kill the heavy as she started out to do. And the audience did not catch the absurdity of the sit- uatton."
