THE HORSE A DANGEROUS
ANIMAL.

1t is not often one hears the horse
denounced, but Rene Bache, writing in
the Saturday Evening Post, declares
hmi to be the most dangerous animal
in the world From the books of ac-
cident insurance companies he has fig
ured out that one person in twelve of
the population meets with disabling
accident once in every twelve months,
and of these, II per cent are due to
the horse This is to say that every
year the horse knocks out 100000 peo-
pie. If but 1 per cent of these die,
then the country loses every year
5000 lives because of horses. This
showing is set over against the fact
that one accident in 500 is attribut-
able to dogs, CHASING even intentional
dog bites as accidents; one in 500 to
handling cattle, one in 1000 to mule
kicks and only one in all to intimacy
with cats. This was the case of a
IIldIl VIII hlChCu az q Sol, IliooCu ~
nit sofa and sustained bruise which
developed blood poisoning from which
the man died.
This is seemingly a bad showing for
the horse. Mr.. Bache says it is not
because of the enmity of the horse, but
because ne is born a fool and never
gets over it. We should rather think
that it is because some men are born
fools and don't know how to treat
horses.
The denial of a superior order OF
animal intelligence to horses is the
only surprising statement in the arti-
Gle To assume it from the fact that
many accidents occur to men in the
handling Of horses is unfair TO the
lower animal. In every horse ac-
cident there are two animals in
volved, and it is very often a question
which one is the less intelligent.

THE SPIRIT OF GRAFT.

Chicago mas claimed to be practi-
cally free from graft, but unless AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Suther-
land is mistaken. Chicago has been
deceived. That gentleman has report
ed to Mayor Dunno that ne has I'M
earthed evidence to show that the city
has been defrauded to the extent of
$4,000 900 in the last ten years on con-
tracts for the construction of water
tunnels and sewers and the purchase
of machinery. This is a considerable
sum of money even in Chicago, and the
! disclosures of Mr. Sutherland are in
teresting to the public.
| The corporation lawyers charges
summarized are that the contractors
| decreased the thickness of the walls
of the tunnels at the expense of the
| city; that the city pays for from three
to five times as many wood slabs for
tunnel construction as it receives;
that large quantities of machinery pur-
chased by the city have Disappeared
| that no record of the machinery thus
acquired exists, and that the inspectors
We're under the influence of the con-
| tractors
| This is the meat of the graft bust
ness. The dishonest contractor always
needs a friend on the inside and ne

THE BIG STICK" AND PEACE.

Professor Goodwin Smith, the emf
nent publicist of Canada, is not in fav-
or of the big stick" He does not
believe that carrier of the big stick
is likely to walk SO softly as if he
were not so equipped. He writes to the
New York Independent an article re-
viewing the circumstances attending
the outbreak of recent wars, maintain
ing that the condition of prepared
ness for war tends to cultivation OF
the warlike spirit. Indeed, he con-
cludes that we are being ''rebarbar-
lied" by the maintenance Of large
armies and great navies.
He contends that the Crimean war
was the result not of long hostility
against Russia, but of the machina-
tions of Palmerston, who had the
means of war ready to back up his per-
sonal animosities and ambitions. The
Boer war he attributes to the jingo-
lists of England and the colonists. Eng
land is so strong on the sea that a
conflict was narrowly averted when
some Russian sailors, panic stricken
or drunken, fired on a British trawler,
which they mistook for torpedo boat,
although the relations of Great Britain
and Russia had been such that nobody
could have imagined, says Mr.. Smith,
that the Russian government could
have intended such an assault. He also
contends that there would have been
no Spanish-American war if the
Maine had not been blown up, and he
is quite sure that that disaster was
due to internal causes. On the instant
the American people, who had equipped
themselves with better navy than
Spain possessed, were aflame and the
government was forced into war.
Citing these and other cases where
preparation for war existed, Mr.. Smith
concludes that the big stick" is a
source of real danger and instead OF
being, as is often maintained, pro-
! lection against hostilities it is a pow
erful influence toward bringing them
about. He argues that peace is to b.
| secured by the reduction of ornaments
1 fe
alone
| While it may be conceded that the
possession of means of defense some
| times leads to the use Of those facilities
unworthy, the cure for such misuse
lies not altogether in the destruction
of the facilities but rather in the Gull
| tivation of larger and more vital in
terest in international arbitration
| which has already achieved great vic
| tories. Other powerful agencies for
peace, not inconsistent with the pos
session of strong means of defense
or of Offense, if necessary, are inter-
national commerce. international finan-
| cial cooperation and international CO.
operation and mutually of interest in
| art, education, science and religion
When men of different nationalities
! and races have common interests that
touch tehir senses, their hearts and
| their pocketbooks they are better safe
guarded against any remaining war
| like tendencies than by merely redu-
| cling their fighting machinery by mu-
| tual consent. Such a reduction could
only be relative anyway.

England's Empire In India.

Rudyard KipHng by his wonderful
writings awakened deep interest In
India among the western nations, but
there are very few people who, not hav-
ing visited India, are sensible Of what
an enormous empire it is and how pro-
iigious are it's possibilities. The war
in the east stimulated the activities of
the HindoOs, and England's sOlicitude
for a continuance Of supremacy was
displayed in the treaty concluded with
Japan in August, 1905. A review of the
extent of the empire and it's vast re-
sources is pertinent at this time. Brit
ish India ranges over 20 degrees of
latitude, from the eighth to the thirty
seventh parallel, making 1,75O,OOO
square miles. The population of this
mighty empire is but little short of
S0O,OO0,OOO. The bulk of this people
live in villages of less than 1900 popu-
lation. In the great plain Of Bengal no
fewer than 65,OOO,OOO souls are en-
tirely dependent upon agricultural pur-
suits, the average density Of the popu-
lation being over 700 to the square
mile. Here there are three crops gath
cred each year Of wheat, millet and Oil
seed and two rice crops. Two hundred
million acres are under cultivation, and
one-siXth is rendered arabic by irriga-
ton. Not less than 100000 acres are
devoted to rice, about 100000 to
millet and about 25,OO0,OOO TO wheat.
The annual output of the Indian ,toal
mines is about 100000 tons. In spite
Of all these resources famine and pow
eFty ravage vast districts periodically,
and plague follows in their footsteps.
70 the ameliOration of this condition
and moral faculties, but the greatest
obstacle has been the inherited igno-
rance and superstition Of the common
people. Slowly but surely western en-
terprise is pushing its way into the
jungles and along the Ganges up to the
base of the Himalayas, and when one
considers that the trade of Great Brit
ain with India is over $3OOOOO,OOO per
year and that only small portion OF
the vast domain of India has been re-
deemed to civilization one can dimly
perceive what an enormous factor in
the worlds producing power this rich
empire will be when it is once thor
oughly subject to all the modern infiu-
enceS.

WHY GLASFORD IS WRONG.

In the interest of fair play The
Evening Statesman in this issue pub
fishes a communication from Council
man and Building Inspector William H.
Glasford in reply to an article appear
ing in The Statesman January II deal
ing with Building Inspector Glasford's
receiving pay from Mottet Bros. for
mis- services in experimenting the con-
struction of a building in West Main
street, which he was also supposed to
be inspecting in his official capacity.
Mr.. Glasford says in his cOmmunica-
ton that the article was published in
order to create public sentiment
against him in the libel suit he mas
brought against The Evening States
man. In this he is wide of the mark.
His libel suit is not regarded seri-
ously by the management of this
paper, but as a JOSH clothed in legal
verbiage. The management does not
believe that there is any necessity of
manufacturing public sentiment to
protect, itself against this frivolous
suit.
The purpose of The Evening States
man in publishing the article to which
Mr.. Glasford objects was to call at
tention to the too common practice of
combining and confusing public and
private duties. A state law expressly
prohibits public officials from being
interested in any contract with which
they have any connection in an of
fetal capacity. Mr.. Glasford's duties
as superintendent for Mottet Bros
were plainly inconsistent with his dut
les as city building inspector. Being
under obligations to Mottet Bros. for
his private job he would be better
tnan most men if he We're not in con-
sequence more lenient with them in
the enforcement of the requirements of
the building ordinances as the city's
inspector 1t is as difficult to serve
two masters at the same time when
their interests conflict as to ride two
horses going in opposite directions at
the same time. Suppose every man in
the city erecting a building should en-
ploy Inspector Glasford as superin-
fidence that the building ordinances
We're being strictly enforced? Yet if
it is right for the building inspector to
accept such employment in one in

him to accept it for every new building

reason that in his private employment
Mr.. Bracket has nothing to do with
the wiring of buildings or the selling
of electrical fixtures. If his public
duties were at cross purpose with his
private duties as an employee of the
