Up to last year we suffered the

A Forgotten Face.

With judgment and taste that are
questionable, to say the least, n OF the
magazines just out for April prints a
portrait Of CzoLGosz. To add to the
shock that is experienced in encountering
these features, which by judicious and
expedient and we'll nigh universal con-
sent have been consigned to oblivion,
the assassin's c~ountenance is so placed
that on turning a single page it faces a
picture Of Mrs. MCKINLEY.
Nothing is gained and harm may
be done by keeping alive the hideous
memory Of CzoLGosz's personality. His
trial and his execution were conducted
in the manner least likely to enhance the
historical n%otoriety craved by creatures
Of his type, and constituting, in their
weak minds, one Of the strongest incen-
tives to crime. The wisdom OF burying
in quicklime the features and so far as
is possible the name of the assassin is
generally recognized.

staggering swashbuckler and the most
reckless and INSCRIPTIONS incendiary in

delighted TO read your editorial in THE sun ofMuch

Perhaps this was due 10 the fact that as school
children we are impatient and close TO the subject
OF patriotism through school reading. However
that may be. our point OF view was and Is that no
money value can be placed upon the old hulk. II
you please. Ironsides.
Money and merchandising, ! have been taught
TO observe. neither stand for character nor for the
building OF q nation. Old 1ronsides is q symbol
for both.

more than we. who did our best 10 awaken an Inter

P~arsimony and cavllling criticism could let her

and patriotism will keep her AhoAt forever.
So through THE Sun. representing the committee
whose sole idea was 10 preserve her for the school
children Of America, let me thank the Committee
on Appropriations, and In advance let me thank
Congress for the vote which will make her stsnch

occasional rumors assert that it goes

from inside, that no other similar COM
mission ever got on go fast.
This hot footed pursuit of the meri-

Of the fraudulent may be truthfully
described. Five years of active industry
must have borne fruit. Nevertheless
Mr.. S~ULLIvAN's point is well made. 1t is
that the work has now been reduced to
a stage where it might and should be
transferred TO the Court Of Claims, a
permanent institution, whose business is
the treatment Of just such matters. By
such a transfer the work would probably
get on just as rapidly and the country
would save about $1oO, 900 a year.

Wild Raidinr in the Tenderloin.

1t is discouraging to find Captain
HoDGINs starting in to do all over again
in the Tenderioin the things that were
condemned Of all men in the days OF
DooLEY. Here we have the same old
raids without warrant Of law, the same
old arrests without justifying evidence,
the same old orders to people to move
out Of the precinct within q few hours
under pain Of the captains ~displeasure
and presumably Of illegal molestation on
his part.
We have also the old familiar whole
sale discharges Of the prisoners made
in these raids by the City Magistrates.
The denunciations from the bench OF
unwarranted arrests is perhaps a little
more vigorous than usual. One Magis-
trate described the conduct OF Captain
HoDG1Ns and his men as persecution,
pure and simple and he fatty laid down
the principle that the unfortunate women
who are the objects Of the police spasm
Of activity have Notwithstanding, 1t
may be fairly inferred, the right to live
somewhere, even though their existence

FROM EUROPE TO LAKE CHAD
BY WATER,

The waterways from the mouth Of the
| Niger River to Lake Chad in north central
Africa on the southern border OF the Sahara
have just been utilized for the first time to
carry freight from the ocean to that lake.
The existence Of practical navigation be-
tween Europe and Lake Chad, except for
about twenty miles, has thus been proved.
Capt. Lenfant in lo09-04 demonstrated that
the waterway was practically continuous,
and France intends hereafter to make use
OF 1t for transporting supplies to her sta
tons In the Lake Chad region.
There were many sceptics when Lenfant
said that the water channels he threaded
from the ocean to the lake might easily be
put to practical use for three months q
year, between August 1 and the end OF &C.
tober. Lenfant was right, and a large
amount Of freight, In charge Of Capt. Faure
OF the French army, reached Lake Chad
several months ago by the new route. His
little steamers carried goods enough to
resupply all the stations In tho Chad dis
trict Of the French Congo. TO which colony
this northern region has been assigned.
There 10 only one little break in the
chain of water communications between the
Atlantic and the lake. On the water part
luR 0LW06H Vic ClBbI anu Shho hyNS
graphic basins a land portage OF about
twenty miles Is necessary.
The French Colonial Minister has Just
made q contract with the British Niger
Company to transport the French supplies
for q series of years. The freight will be
transferred from ocean steamers to British
river boats at Akassa, the port in the Niger
delta. These boats will carry 1t up the
Niger river to the Benue a%fluent, about 22S
miles. up the Benue about 500 miles to the
Mayo-Kebbi, and up this tributary about
100 miles to LAre, the first French post on
that river. Here the French will load the
goods on horses, carry them twenty miles
around the falls of the Mayo-Kebbi, and
transfer them to light draught steamers
on the Tuburi, whence they will reach Lake
Chad through the Logone and Shari rivers.
The new route would be perfect were 1t
not for the short land portage around the
falls at Lata. AS it is, freight from France
will require only two unloadings to reach
Lake Chad, the first at the mouth Of the
Niger and the second at Lata for the short
portage to Sulkano on the Tuburi.

Official inquiry into the summary transfer
Of patients from one New York hospital to
another has been begun. For years this
practice has not been unusual in dangerous
Or desperate cases which are OF recent
admission. 1t has been denounced and
opposed on humane grounds. 1t remains
a survival Of q condition which long ago
passed away. There is a tradition, which
is now a tradition only, that the standard
of efficiency OF q hospital is the percentage
of deaths among those treated. II there
be 5000 patients in q year and 100 deaths
in a hospital, the mortality percentage
is 2; II 5000 patients are treated and the
number of deaths 10 so, the mortality per-
centage' Is 1. Adherence TO this old rule
accounts for the oensure, again revived,
Of hospital authorities for the rejection OF
some patients when dangerously Ill, or
their enforced transfer under conditions
perilous to life.
The percentage Of deaths In O hospital
may perhaps in the past have been a test
Of its efficiency. but since the practice Of
medicine and surgery has become 90 largely
specialized" the rate OF mortality 10
according to the nature OF the cases treated.
Hospitals having an ambulance service.
for instance, have a larger number OF aoci-
dent cases, and the death rate in a hospital
for i~ncurables is larger, Of course, than In
one treating the ordinary ailments.
Notwithstanding this, the old tradition
Of keeping the rate down leads frequently
to such transfer Of patients from one hos
pital to another as has been made the sub
ject Of official inquiry.
