In spite Of all the British govern
mCnt can d. in India. the rdvagcS of
the bubonic plague continue At an ap-
pallipg rate and ii is said that in the
first half of the present year the deaths
from this awful scourgc exceeded half
a million. This is said to hc Il larger
since the British occupation of India
but in the great mass Of the Indian
area. half million lives more or less
does not seem t. count for much and
the ravas"s of the epidemic have been
given but little place in the news
paTcrs or periodicals. The attempts
: of the British authorities to fight the
plague are bcSet with many difficult
ties since the natives cannot be made
to practice modern sanitary rules and
in their suspicion of the English are
easily led to believe that the authori-
ties. instead of trying to stop the
plague are really helping it to spread.
One reason for this belief on their part
is The fact that few Englishmcn ever
die of tie plague. Since sanitary rules
are hard to enforce in the most civil
lied countries for the reason that they
always interfere with personal free
dom, ii is easy to believe that the
British authorities in India have to be
arbitrary to the verge Of tyranny in
order to make any Roadway against
the bubonic plague. And this is doubt
less one important reason why the

BattIeships for the Pacific.

If the United States government has
decided to send some of its most pow
erful battleships to join its now small
fleet in the Pacific, why should so
much talk be made about it and why
should anybody figure out that Japan
would have a right to resent such ac-
ton? The Pacific is not Japanese
bond any more than the Atlantic is an
English pond. Every nation that cares
to do 50 is at perfect liberty to sail it's
ships upon either. This country has Il
very extensive Pacific coast line and
also vcfy extensive insular possessions
in Pacific waters, and common pru-
dence demands that a good share Oh
our great naval strength be Kept III
that part Of the world. 1t was ms
take to withdraw all our battleshlps
from the Pacific, as was done year
or two ago, and if they are sent back
and others with them it is nobody's
business but Uncle Sans.
In this connection story of Admiral
Decatur is recalled. After he had
tanned the Barbary powers whose pi-
ratical energies had been reawakened
while the War of 1872 kept our navy
busy. he set out in his flagship, the
Cue rriere, to make his way across the
Mediterranean unattended, and sud-
l., in, -
one Of the CorSair fleets which had
remained in neutral port during
hostilitics. The situation looked rather
spually. The CorSair admiral hailed:
"What sheep is dat "The United
States ship Guerrero. Commodore De-
catur," was the reply. "Where you go
ing?' was the next question. "Where
l please" Numbered Decatur through
the speaking trumpet, and the Gucr-
ricre proceeded unmolcstcd When the
United States transfers a division of
battlcShips from one of its coasts to
the other the spirit of DcCatur'S an
swer would seem to be sufficient. and
would ohviatc the necessity of making
'explanations" which nobody has de-
mandcd.
There is Il lot Of silly season non
sense in the newspapers about Il pos
Siblc war with japan. 1t is unthink-
able that such thing should ever oc-
cur. Certainly it will take much more
to hiring it about than the campaign
jingoism of japanese politicians who
oppose the present government at To-
kio or the riots of hoodlum strikers in
San Francisco. If the sensitive souls
of the japanese are wounded by the
presence of powerful American fleet
in the Pacific. that is their affair, but it
is probable that they are not such fools
as some people in this country try to
make them out to be. If japan was
not on the map it would still be the
scnSibl" policy of this country to keep
part of its naval strength in Pacific
waters.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Teach the Children to Swim.

cortland EXpreSS)
Every year tells over again the
mournful tale of boys who were
drowned because they had never
learned to swim. The remedy does not
consist i'll keeping the lads away from
the water. That cannot be done. 1t
is as natural for healthy boy to slip
off his clothes and plunge into cold
stream or pool as for him to run bare
foot and play marbles and go fishing.
Nature calls him to the water and he
goes instinctively. If he is allowed to
yield freely to the attraction of the
water, he quickly adapts himself To
his new environment and becomes an
accomplished swimmer. If the i'm
pulse is not so strong upon him, or if
he is hindcred from following his in
clination, it is almost certain that
sometime he will find himself forced to
swim for his life, or the life of another
and will be helpless.
Hundreds of lives might be saved
and the boys would surely be healthier
and happier, if their parents would
cooperate with them in teaching them
to swim. 1t is impossible to begin too
soon. Babies can almost be taught to
swim in the bathtub. At least, they
can be taught confidence. and swim
ming is chiefly matter of confidence.
They can learn in infancy that the
water is friendly. and will not hurt
them, and that it is a very simple
matter to keep afloat. Then there
would be no Spasms of terror. no
choking and smothering, if they hap
pencd to tumble in. 1t is a lesson
that boys and girls alike should learn.
Then, when the children are Il littl"
Older, they should be taken to tl:e
beach, or the swimming pool 81
stream, and given some real lessons in
swimming. floating and diving.
Parents, if they cannot give the ncccs-
sary instruction, should see that some
one else does. 1t is just as important
| part of a child education as spelling
or geography
