National Department of Health.

The plea made by Prof. Norton of
Yale university for national depart
ment of health is not to be ignored,
remarks the Troy Times. Yale has
taken up the matter, and other insti-
tutions and men of high professional
standing are giving attention. A bull
letin put forth by Yale's department
of social science reminds the Ameri-
can people that the four causes Of
waste of human life and energy are
preventable death, preventable sick
ness, preventable conditions of low
physical and mental efficiency and pre-
ventable ignorance, and urges action
by the people through the government
to check this waste. Prof. Norton as
serts that not less than 100000 lives
can be saved in the United States an
nually by the employment of proper
means, and he puts the economic side
of the question in almost startling
form. Estimating wages at one dollar
per day, which no doubt is far below
the average, the professor shows that
the yearly loss by illness is consider
ably over $1,000, 100000, while by the
methods proposed at least half this
sum could be saved. In an era notable
for the economizing of force, that is a
statement to compel serious thought.

Lowest Telegraph Rates.

Spelling reform has had new and
important development in direction
which no one has heretofore thought
of. In Europe messages are charged
for according to the number of letters,
instead of words, as in this country.
All transatlantic messages from
America are charged for by letter in
accordance with the European system.
The adoption of spelling reform will
cause modification of the schedules
of the international telegraphic COM
panies, and the consequent saving of
money. For example, "thru" will have
to be charged for as four letters in
stead of six, as formerly, and so on
through the entire list. It will cause
no trouble to the operators, because
they for years have been using the
shortest form by which words could
be spelled without possibility of mis-
take. Consequently they will have
nothing new to learn.

REPORTS ON INSURANCE
WISCONSIN COMMITTEE TELLS
WHAT 1T DISCOVERED.
Three Risk Companies Investigated
Criticised for Certain Practices
Dishonesty Not Charged.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 1.-THE report
of the legislative committee appointed
to investigate the affairs of life in
surance companies doing business in
Wisconsin was submitted to the gov
ernor Monday night. 1t embraces the
testimony taken by the committee last
summer, comments upon the evidence,
and recommends the passage of large
number of bills amending the insur-
ance laws of the state in the interest
of policy holders.
The committee says the general ex-
animation was confined to three COM
panies, the Wisconsin Life, of Mad
ison; the Northwestern Mutual Life,
of Milwaukee, and the Union Central
Life, of Cincinnati. These companies
were not selected because of any be-
lief that their affairs were conducted
in any less creditable manner than
that of other companies transacting
like insurance business in the state.
The evidence was to the effect that
none of these companies made any
contribution from the company's funds
to any campaign committee, or has
given aid in the election or defeat of
any candidate for public Office, nor
was there any evidence that they have
engaged directly or indirectly in any
syndicate operations, or that any Off
Ger has any interest in such opera
tions. There was no evidence of any
misappropriation of the companies
funds or manipulation of the compan-
les business for personal gain, except
by inference.
Fault is found with the practice of
the Northwestern Mutual in permit
ting the officers, agents, their rela-
tives and friends to make loans on the
security of the companies policies.
The loans on tontine policies are criti-
cised also, as well as rebating by
agents and the paying out of money
to promote and defeat legislation.
Some features Of the practices Of
the Union Central are criticised ad.
versely, and in the investigation of the
Wisconsin Life, the committee says,
striking condition of incompetency
and mismanagement on the part of
some of the principal officials was re-
vealed
The committee recommends the re-
peal of all retaliatory laws, and as
serts that the premiums now charged
are too large.

SEVERE LOSSES IN FRISCO
MANY BUILDINGS BLOWN DOWN
BY FURIOUS GALE.
Four Large Firms Alone Suffer $780,
600 Damage-Street Car System
Is Badly Demoralized.

San Francisco, Dec. 11.-Three hun
dred thousand dollars is the estimated
loss of four of San Francisco's largest
firms by reason of the damage done
by Mondays storm. Monday after
noon the large building at Polk and
Van Ness avenues gave In before the
fury of the storm and all the valuable
merchandise housed there was ruined.
The building was occupied by the
Mann Trunk company, the Hahnemann
pharmacy and the Meijei Art COM
pany. The loss through this disaster
is said to be about 100000 The
building occupied by the California
Notion & Toy company at No. 600 Post
street, collapsed just before noon and
the larger portion of the stock was
destroyed. The underwriters saved
what they could, but the firm will suf-
fer to the extent of nearly 100000.
The hardware store of Joest Broth
ers gave way under the awful strain
and the building was wrecked. The
damage will amount to $4,000. Flats
which were being erected at Valencia
and Sixteenth streets, and flats on the
same street near Twenty-fourth street,
which were in course of construction,
were completely wrecked. The spire
of st. Peters church, Sixth and Ala
bama streets, was carried away.
The roof of the Durant school, on
Buch and Buchanan streets, met the
same fate. Flats on the east side Of
Guerrero street, between Sixteenth
and Seventeenth streets, and flats on
Church and Market and Waller col
lapsed under the force of the gale.
On Church and Fourteenth streets
a two-story building was being remod-
eled into stores, making it three
stories in all. The supporting pillars
were of flimsy construction and the
whole building fell.
The walls of the Poodle Dog restau-
rant at Mason and Eddy streets col
lapsed, destroying the temporary hall
of justice in course of construction on
the site of the old Tivoli opera house.
1t will take days, perhaps weeks, to
restore the street car system of this
city. This will be made more difficult
by reason of the fact that in every in
stance the overhead trolley came
down with the buildings. Police
men were stationed at every wreck to
warn people against danger from live
wires.
At Point Reyes and at Mare Island
navy yard the wind reached velocity
of 60 miles an hour, and fears are
entertained for the safety of shipping
along the coast.

NOBEL PRIZE FOR PRESIDENT.
Roosevelt Honored by Norway-Wili
Establish Peace Conference.

Washington, Dec. 11.-CI Hauge,
the minister from Norway, called at
the White House Monday and in
formed President Roosevelt that the
Norwegian storthing had conferred on
him the Nobel peace prize. A mes
sage to the same effect came from Mr..
Loevland, the chairman of the Nobel
committee, who conveyed to the presi-
dent hearty good wishes and an ex-
preston of high esteem.
United States Minister Peirce at
Christiania had been told of the action
of the committee on December 1 and
in advising the president proffered his
profound congratulations "on this
well merited recognition of your great
and wise International policy" The
amount of money represented in the
prize is 1885 crowns, or $37, ,127.65.
A statement governing the proposed
disposition of the prize money, which
is said to be tentative and subject to
change as regards details, was made
at the White House. 1t says:
prize will be conveyed by the presi-
dent to trustees, to be by them used
as the foundation of fund the in
come of which shall be expended for
bringing together in conference at
Washington, especially during the
sessions of congress, representatives
of labor and capital for the purpose
of discussing industrial problems with
the view of arriving at better under
standing between employers and en-
ployes, and thus promoting industrial
peace. The president, with their con-
sent, will appoint as trustees of the
fund, the chief justice of the United
States, the secretary of agriculture,
the secretary of commerce and labor,
a representative of labor and repre-
sentative of capital. The fund will
be conveyed to the trustees to be held
in trust"

FILLING UP THE CANADIAN WEST.
The American Settler Is Welcomed
to Canada.

A number of the leading newspa.
pers on this side of the line have been
noticing the growth of the Canadian
West in recent years, and draw atten-
ton to the fact that there seems to be
no abatement of the influx of settlers
to that great grain-growing country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow.
There were Alta homesteads entries
there in July of this year, as against
3,571 in July, 1905. Canada plumes
herself over this fact, with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
neighbors happiest is the statement
that of these 4,174 homesteaders,
1912 were from this side of the line.
Little is said about the 81 Canadians
who recrossed the border to take up
homes in Canada West, or of the sos
from Great Britain, or of the 1926
from non-British countries. 1t ap-
pears that the item in this July report
that makes Canada rejoice most is
this of the 1912 American farmers
who decided to try their fortunes in
Canada West.
"The compliment is deserved. The
1912 were mostly from Dakota and
other farming states, and go into
Canada fitted better than any other
class of immigrants for developing the
new country. They take capital with
them, too, say Canadian papers proud
ly. In every way, they are welcoms
over there"
AS the Express well says, the
American is welcomed to Canada, and
the reasons given are sufficient to in
vite the welcome. The American
farmer knows thoroughly the farming
conditions that prevail in the Cana
dian prairie provinces, and is aware
of every phase of agricultural devel-
opment in recent years.
In practical knowledge of what is
wanted to get the largest return for
labor and investment he is by long
odds superior to any European set
tier. He knews what Is required to
bring success, and he is able and will
ing to do it, and his future causes no
dppl lSucuoIOu W luS SuCCCoSlui Sduo-
dian farmer. The agent Of the Cana
dian Government, whose address ap-
pears elsewhere, says that the differ
ence between the manners and Gus
toms of the farmer from Dakota, Ore
gon or Minnesota and the farmer from
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta
is not nearly so marked as that be-
tween the farmer of the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller of the
soil. Hence the welcome to the free
homesteads of the Canadian West,
and there are hundreds of thousands
of them left, that is extended to the
settler from the Western States.

President MAKES
reply To STORER
LETTER TO ROOT GIVING CABINET
FACTS SUPPRESSED BY Ex-
AMBASSADOR.
His Conduct Is Called Peculiarly Un-
gentlemanly and His Statement
About a Message to the Pope
Branded as Untrue.


Washington, Dec. 10. - President
Roosevelt Sunday night made public
a long letter addressed to Secretary
Root giving correspondence between
the president and former Ambassador
Bellamy Storer, at Vienna, and Mrs.
Storer, in which he says that Mr..
Storer's refusal to answer his letters
and the publication of various private
letters justified the ambassadors re-
moval; that Mr.. Storer's publication
of private correspondence was pecu-
liarly ungentlemanly and that he (the
president) had stated with absolute
clearness his position the reason why
1t was out of the question for him as
president to try to get any archbishop
made cardinal, though expressing his
admiration for Archbishop Ireland as
well as leaders of other denomina-
tions.
He says he thinks it well that the
members of the cabinet should know
certain facts which he (Storer)
either suppresses or misstates." He
says he did not resent the action of
the Storers until it became evident
they were likely to damage American
interests" He says Mrs. Storer urged
him to give her husband a cabinet
place and that she stated Mr.. Choate
at London and Gen. Porter at Paris
were not proper persons to be am
bassadors, suggesting her husband in
that connection.
Statements Branded False.
The president incorporates letter
from Postmaster General Cortelyou
contradicting the statement that Pres
ident Mckinley had commissioned
gentleman to ask the pope "as a per-
sonal favor to him." and as "an honor
to the country to appoint Archbishop
Ireland as cardinal. Mr.. Cortelyou
says the president never made any
such request. The president declares
that Mr.. Storer's statement that he
authorized any such message to be
delivered to Pope Plus is untrue. He
says that he never received a letter
from Ambassador Storer giving an
account of his visit to the vatican and
of the message he personally gave the
pope on behalf of Mr.. Roosevelt.
The presidents action follows the
publication of "the confidential pam
phlet" which Mr.. Storer last week sent
to the president, the cabinet and the
senate foreign relations committee.
Not Given Out at the White House.
President Roosevelt Sunday night
requested the press to say that no
hint or intimation of the Bellamy
Storer pamphlet was given out at the
White House. The former ambassa-
dor, the president stated, not only sent
his "open letter" to members of the
cabinet, but to at least dozen mem
bers of the senate and house. He
added that Mr.. Storer had no desire to
keep the contents of the pamphlet
secret and that undoubtedly it was his
desire that the letter find its way into
Orint
