Roosevelt On Race Suicide.

New Work, April 3O.-In a letter to
the editor of the Review of Reviews,
President Roosevelt takes exception
TO certain statements made in an arti-
Gle on e"The Doctor in the Public
School," Published in the April num-
Der of the periodical and takes oc.
casion to renew his expressions 90 the
subject OF race suicide.
This writer states clearly says
the president, s'that it is an erroneous
idea to ISSUING that the average fam
lily should have a larger number OF
healthy children than the present birth
rate showed. The vital statistics of a
state like Massachusetts shows that
there the average native American
family Of native American descent has
so few children shat the birth rase has
fallen below tbs. death rate. This, Of
course, means race suicide. and i,
ought to be understood that after
while there are no children to go to
school the question of their health
| would not be ere academic
! Continuing, Mr.. Roosevelt says
1.-THE greatest problem Of civilization
is to be found 10 the fact that the we'll

Whisky and Its Origin.

The word whisky is of Irish origin.
Indeed, the Irish claim that whisky
itself is of Irish origin, and, more
over, that the Irish taught the Scotch
people how to make whisky. As for
the name, it springs from the Irish
word uisgue bertha, or lifegiving
water.
Distillation is a process said to have
been known to the Arabians in remote
ages, but the first author to speak of
it explicitly-and he speaks Of it also
as a recent discovery-was a chemist
who lived in the thirteenth century.
Anomalous De Villa Nova deemed
distill alton to be the universal par'
acea which all ages had sought for in
vain;
The cry of "modern degeneration
was raised even in those far.off days,
and a pupil Of Nova, one Ramona
Lully of Majorca, acclaimed distilled
waters as a divine ~emanation, de-
| clared that it was destined to revive
the energies of ''modern decrepioude.'
This aqua vitae. indeed, denoted the
contamination of all things In the
brain of Lully; it heralded even thu
end of the world.
1t is a legend of St. Patrick that hi
was the first who instructed the 1risf
in the art Of distill alton. Certain
modern historians, however, hotl,
contest this: setting forth the evidence
OF authentic sources Of inform alto,
that ST. Patrick was an eXceeaingl.
strict promoter of temperance. Th'
argument is scarcely strong, for Their
is obviously nothing really antago
nistic in the two ideas. Besides di
stilled spirit, whether brandy o
whisky as We know it today was ii
early ages for medicinal purposes an
not AS a beverage.

1T ENCOURAGES CRIME.

The dregs of the Thaw case are not
yet out of sight, to the disgust OF the
decent public. Meanwhile, one part OF
the comment suggested by the fasco
in a New York court Is very much to
the point-it directs attention to the
fact that criminal process in this coun.
try has become. in too many instances,
a lamentable travesty.
The sneers at these courts, which
have found expression in hundreds Of
newspapers are justified; processes in
the criminal courts are rapidly COM.
ing into merited contempt. In Thaw's
case a murder was committed, and, BY
the testimony of dozens OF witnesses,
he committed it. But when laymen
protest at the laws inability to deal
with q murderer, or with criminals
whom te~chnicalities protect, your Az
erage lawyer pities the ignorance dis
played by these protesting laymen,
assumes an air of superior legal
knowledge and talks judicial jargon.
The plain truth is that money is
what the apprehended criminal needs.
Herewith he can hire lawyers: there
by he has all the advantage in the
world: and experience is furnishing
frequent proofs OF the fact that often,
when it comes to setting pitfalls in the
pathway of justice, it doesn't take
much of a | lawyer either. The remedy
for this glazing, growing evil is in the
bar itself, and the public has settled
down to the belief that the legal pro.
fession, in the great body of its mem
bership, is not particularly anxious to
suggest remedies.
Lawyers are an important factor ir
this country's legislatures: confessed
ly, the tendency throughout the land
is not in the direction of codes thai
make the criminal courts more effec
tive. This is a subject concerning
which Justice Brewers recent utter
! ances have attr wide attention

TALKS ABOUT CANAL,
Secretary Taft Describes Progress
On Panama Project.

CINCINNATI, April 3O.-Secretary
Of War Taft spoke before the Bush
ness Mems club here las. night. His
subject was the Panama canal. He
said: elf the Panama canal is moi
completed within eight years l shall
be greatly disappointed. If it is COM
pleted in less time than that l shall be
greatly surprised"
In opening his speech the secretary
stated that he would speak upon the
improvements and rapid progress of
the work at Panama. He said in part:
"My visit this year was to settle the
question of the location of the locks,
the completion of which will, in my
opinion, mark the completion of the
canal. 1t is possible, however, that
the finish of the work in the Culebra
cut will be the end of our labors. In
this cut there are yet to be e%xcavated
81, OOO, 900 cubic yards of earth, exclu.
sive of the digging to be done on the
approaches to the cut proper. In the
nine miles of the cut there are now SO
steam shovels at work and they will
take out on the average of one million
cubic yards per month. This rate may
be increased until we have SO shovels
at work, and then it will gradually de-
cline until 1t will probably be some.
what below the 1000. 900 cubic yards
per month. We will not be able to
work as many shovels as we get lower
down in the cut, where the space is
more narrow.
1--WE advertised for bids on the ca.
nal work and then declined them for
the reason that We found 1t would be
necessary for the contra actors to have
the help of capitalists and we would
be compelled to allow to the contrac'

they would be compelled to borrow

CHANGES IN GAME LAWS.

1t seldom happens that a Montana
ad journs without chang.
ing the game laws, aud citizens who
wish to escape the penalties provided
in these enactments find it necessary
to make mental note of the new cOndi-
tons created by such legislation. The
tenth assembly followed the example
of its predecessors in this respect. 1t
amended the game laws in several
particulars that will require observ-
ance by the public for at least two
years.
The most important change in the
game laws is the removal of protec-
ton upon ave The omission OF
these animals from the list OF game
affected by provisions OF the law is
| said to have been unintentional. but
| the effect of the omission is to make it
lawful to kill beaver at any time.
a summary of the new game law has
been prepared by the state game
warden, who calls attention to the fact
that the open season on all game Is
from September l to December l, with
the exception of deer, whose open sea
son extends from September l to De-
cember Is, while fish may be caught at
all times with q hook, line and pole.
