WOULD SELL HER BRAIN
Richmond Woman offers Il Or Body, Or Both,
To Highest Bidder.

Mrs. NJ. l. Francis, of Richmond, who
has offered to sell her brain and her
BODY after her death 20 the highest
bidder among medical universities and
hospitals in the cities, says she was
driven to that course by poverty.
She says she does not care what IL
done with her body after death, but that
she needs money She is willing to sign
papers bequeathing her head, or her
head and body. to whatever institution
offers her a sufficient sum to keep her in
comfort for the remainder OF her years.
The woman is 40 years old, broken in
health aud dependent upon the small
salary which she receives az q clerk in a
department store. She is educated and
refined and has evidently seen more
affluent days. She is the fourth wife OF
her husband. who several years ago was
disqualified for work by an accident.
Mrs. Francis says she had heard that
students had access only to the bodies OF
criminals and psupers, and she thought
the head or the body OF an intelligent
person might be OF considerable value.
She was told at one OF the Richmond
institutions that there was a liberal
supply OF brains on the market, and that
the purchasing agent was out oftheclty.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED But
TARIFF REFORM

There are acts OF omission as well
"a OF commission for which men are
to blame. aud for which they are
held responsible. We have hereto
fore referred TO a sin OF the latter
class. for which Mr.. Roosevelt Is re-
sponsible, in his reference TO the Jap
anese situationin California. wherein
he IS regarded as having madean at
tack on States rights, and as bad
as was this break, he is no more de-
serving of adverse criticism in this
connection than he is on account OF
his absolute failure to mention the
all important question OF the tariff
The ignoring OF the President OF this
question is really the most remarka-
BILE part of the whole lengthy docu-
ment. Not one word about the tar
III, and yet every other natter
whether OF interest TO the people or
not, which may have struck the Pres
dents notice or fancy since his last
message to Congress istOuched upon.
He even recommends that every Kid
in the land be taught 10 shoot. tie
recommends regulation OF truStSaud
curtailing their power 10y direct leglS-
ton and criminal prosecution. lie
recommends inheritance taxes ana
income taxes, to prevent the CON
tinued growth of colossal fortunes.
but be ignores the one and only rem
edy for these evils, the regulation OF
the tariff. High tariff is responsible
for the power OF the trusts and the
growth OF immense fortunes, and the
regulation OF both lies primarily in
tariff reform. Inheritance taxes and
income taxes are all right in their
places, but they will DO precious little
to remedy the evils against which
they are aimed unless they have the
cooperation OF reduced tariff law.
The trouble with the President Is
that he is ignoring the cause OF the
evils he seek to remedy. and is fight
ing only the symptoms.

THE STORER-ROOSEYELT
CONTROVERSY.

The unfortunate controversy be
tween President Roosevelt and Bel
lamy Storer, the recently dismissed
ambassador to Vienna, reflects but
little credit on either party to the
controversy. Not that anything has
been disclosed OF a particularly dis
graceful nature to either the Presl-
dent or Mr.. Storer, but because men
OF their standing should be induced
by personal feeling to publish cor
respondence which was intended and
should have remained personal and
private. OF Mr.. StOrer we know lit
tie or nothing, but this is not the
first time Mr.. Roosevelt has entered
into unseemly controversies with
other officials and persons in private
life, and on each and every occasion
has rushed into undignified news
paper controversies. OF course the
public is eager enough TO get a view
behind the scenes OF diplomatic life,
and will read with avidity all that Is
published of the correspondence be
tween the President and Mr.. and
Mrs. Storer. This is very gratifying
to the idle curiosity OF hepeOple and
the distinguished parties appear to
be more than anxious to crafty the
curious. however much OF dignity
they may sacrifice thereby. Storer
charges the President with endeavor-
ing, when he was governor OF New
York and later as president. through
him to secure the appointment OF
Archbishop Ireland as a cardinal,
and when the matter became public
he denied any knowledge of the mat
ter, rebuked Storer and later dis
missed him. Mr.. Roosevelt denies hay-
ing authorized Mr.. StOrer TO use his
name in connection with the matter
at all, and Storer comes back with a
lengthy correspondence between the
President and Mrs. StOrer, in which
the former criticises his cabinet as it
was in 1901, and declares that Sec
rotary Root is the only member OF
his official family who has the pres
tige Of great political leader. And
so it goes, with the end probably not
yet in sight.
