May Carry Typhoid Long.
Dr. ]. III. Townsend of the Connect
cat board of health reports that the
bacillus of typhoid may be carried for
years after an attack of the disease
without any apparent Inconvenience TO
the patient and without his knowledge
of the fact. Kutscher, German eX-
pert, is quoted as saying that about
per cent Of the typhoid patients be-
come chronic carriers of typhoid
bacilli Although such persons may
be in good health, they may infect those
with whom they come in contact. All
this is confirmed by the recent case OF
a cook who had served in several New
York families. In every family her
presence was followed by an outbreak
Of typhoid. 1t was known that the
cook herself had suffered an attack
of the same disease formerly, and an
enforced examination showed that she
still carried the bacilli.
Blue Rays In Dentistry.
A report made by Consul Bardell at
Bamberg, Germany, says that DR..
Radard of Geneva, Switzerland, has
discovered that blue rays Of light can
be used as an anaesthetic in the ex-
traction Of teeth. DR.. Radard finds
that complete narcosis can be obtained
if the rays Of blue electric light are
brought to bear on the human eye
while all other rays, especially day
light, are kept Off it. This Is said to
make the ordinary operations of filing
and pulling actually painless.

Or. Cooke Ahead of Peary.


That another famous American ex-
plorer, DR.. Frederick A. Cooke of
Brooklyn, N. Y, is now at the head Of
an expedition safely in winter quarters
at Etah, Greenland, $50 miles south
of the north pole and north of the far
thest Peary station, became known
last week, when John r. Bradley, the
wealthy New York sportsman. returned
to North Sydney on his schooner yacht
after he landed Cooke with sleds, dogs
and provisions for two years. Mr..
Bradley, who Is the financial hacker
Of this expedition, says that their In
tentions were kept secret for fear that
the Peary expedition would be stirred
to greater activity. Cooke will leave
Smiths sound at 70 degrees north lati-
tude next spring and after crossing
Ellesmere Land will try to reach the
pole by the open polar sea. Unlike
Peary, DR.. Cooke is to be accompanied
by only two Eskimos and dogs suff-
cient for two sleds. The sleds are
built with roofs and warmed with
lamps, so that the occupants may sleep
while progress Is being made. Two
canvas boats are also carried for open
water crossings.
Cancer Among Meat Eaters.
The results Of two years. exhaustive
study of cancer in the city Of Chicago
by DIR. Cooke Adams of London have
just been made public in a report of
the city health department. 1t says
that DIR. Adams has proved that diet
is a most important factor in the in
crease of the disease and in the death
rate. out Of 5S,S35 deaths In the last
seven years among the Chicago born
from all causes there were 17S due to
cancer. In the same period there were
81 900 deaths from all causes among
foreign born inhabitants lover one
third of the total population, and 4,463
of these deaths were due to cancer

stress, however, is laid upon the mo-
notony of life on the isthmus and the
need of means of recreation and amuse-
ment. She says an amusement park

land scheme.
Civic Plumbing and Telephone.
The government Of Alberta, Canada,
has decided to follow the example of
Manitoba by inaugurating a telephone
system, which will be supplied to any
district or town at the lowest possible
cost The government will build and
operate the system itself. 1t is ex-
pected that other provinces will soon
take similar action.
The government of Winnipeg has
also made an advance by securing
power to put plumbing into houses,
charging up the expenses on a seven
years basis, the cost being levied on
the property thus improved. The aim
is to help people who cannot afford the
whole cost at once to make their
houses sanitary.
A Court of Rehabilitation.
Roland b. Molineux, the we'll known
New Yorker who was acquitted of the
charge of murder In the first degree
after having occupied the death house
at Sing Sing, has written for Charities
and the Commons an article advocat-
ing a new kind of court, to be known
->as the court of rehabilitation. Mr.. Mol
ineuX asserts that no human being,
whatsoever his crime, should be SEN
fenced to definite term in prison. He
points out that we spend $1,000,000,000
q year in a frultless and farcical con-
test with crime, or twice as much as
we spend on our works of religion,
charity and education. He contends
that this is due solely to the fact that
we sentence criminals to definite
punishment. Such Imprisonment, he
argues, is worse than useless and is
itself a crime, for the criminal in al
most every case is released more
dangerous menace than before his in
generation. 1t Is admitted that the
criminal law aims to benefit society.
Mr.. MolineuX declares that it fails in
this. He adds that it should aim to
benefit the criminal, and in this it
could succeed.
His first proposition then is this:
That the criminal court should deter
mine but one thing, the guilt or inno-
cence of the defendant, and that if
guilty, whether of murder or disorderly
conduct, the one and unvarying SEN
tence should be Punishment from So
clety. He should be compelled to re-
main apart from his fellow men for
ever or until restored to citizenship by
court of rehabilitation. He argues
that, since it requires judge and jury
to deprive man Of liberty, only by
judge and jury should he be restored.

1t bespeaks an early spring, a curtaled

1t threatens to confound the goose-bone
prophets who have been croaking about a
long, hard winter. And there are hundreds
of thousands of people today who will swear
by the ground hog against all the scientific
or unscientific forecasts that are uttered
and will make their arrangements in &C

sunless second day of February is a posi-
tive and reliable token of an early end of
winter. Yet, according to the calendar,
winter does not end until the 21st of March,
six weeks and half from now, or a little
more than the period the ground hog would

tied back into his hole. Let it be hoped
that the little fellow has made no mistake.

Instructions, and could afford to boz frank

thusiasm there was nc reason for it to at

But. for better or for worse, Mr. Davis is
the choice Of the people Of the state de-
liberately expressed, and he Is coming to
the Senate at a time when the business of
that body should develop him rapidly. He
takes his seat next December, and both
houses Of Congress at that session will
legislate with an eye on the presidential
campaign. which is to follow. Ordinarily. a
senator, under the old rule, was a mere
observer during the first year or two Of his
service. A new member, like child in
company was to be seen and not heard.
But that day Is past. Now 1t all depends
on the man. If he has anything to say. and
can muster the courage to say 1t. the first
week or month may find him on his feet

Mr.. Davis, as we all know. does not lack
for confidence. Whether he has anything

the effect of this trial upon the public
mind its disclosure OF the weakness of the
existing processes of trial, its demonstra-
ton of the baleful influence OF single
tragedy involving notorious people. The
extreme prolongation of every stage OF the
case, the long wait before opening, the de-
lay in securing jury, the wearisome con-
sumption of time in taking testimony and
in arguing, followed by the inevitable ap-
peals to court after court, perhaps with re-
versals and re-trials, all due to the fact that
the defendant is abundantly supplied Win
means. can have but one result, deepening
of the conviction that the wealthy taker OF
human life has far greater chance OF
escape from punishment than the poor
wretch who with no more and no less
reason, Stays his fellow and Is caught.
While talesman after talesman has as
cended the witness stand to be quizzed as
to his fitness to sit as juror in the Thaw
case, and day after day has passed in
merely preparing for the trial, in another
court room of the same building in New
York an humble Italian has been arraigned
tried and convicted of a murder far more
atrocious in the mere physical details of the
crime than that of which Thaw Is accused.
This also was crime of jealousy. Behind
IL lay a romance. Inc Slayer, III Ills
fury, dismembered the body of his victim
Thrilling. shocking, sensational as this
tragedy has been in every detail, it is ig-
nored by the press and the public Of the
metropolis because upstairs a man has been
on trial for his life for murder, a man born
of wealthy parents, reared in luxury and
INDUCED in every opportunity for disso-
lutte living, who married a reigning beauty
of the stage and after a stormy matri-
monial experience killed a man, of whom
he was jealous, who occupied a conspicu-
Gus place in the world of art. The names
of the Italian and his victim and the woman
who was the cause of the tragedy were
probably known only to few score of peo-
pie The names of Thaw, his victim and
his wife were at the time of the Madison
Square Garden tragedy known to millions.
There lies the difference, which, In it's later
effects, is an element that makes for an
unwholesome, even a dangerous, difference
In the processes Of judicial procedure.
The English law does not admit of such
difference, and it may not be questioned
that in consequence the work Of the crimi-
nal courts in that country Is more uni
formly fair as we'll swift and that public
order and morals are more effectively pre-
served.

Cooler Times in Arkansas

The election of "Jeff'' Davis United States
senator by the Arkansas legislature aroused
no enthusiasm. 1t was a ceremony wholly
without spirit. Mr.. Davis was not present.
Well 1t may have been that feeling on
the subject was exhausted during the pri-
mary canvass. Mr.. Davis visited every part
Of the state discussed all subjects in his
fiamboyant fashion, worked up the people
to the top pitch of enthusiasm, and won
his race by a substantial majority. Never
greater cheering was heard within the bor-
ders of the commonwealth than RESPONDED
to his appeal for votes. He promised, II
elected, reform all along the line, and that
the Senate from the day of his appearance
there should become a more useful and in
teresting body. Maybe the legislature
thought 1t best not to attempt to duplicate
over a mere form the excitement produced
when the senatorship was In contest.
Or can 1t be that since cooling OF from

growing a little dubious about the cheiee

Japanese in Hawaii.

Mr. I,orrin A. Thurston of Hawaii is prob
ably as well qualified to speak concerning
the so-called Japanese menace in those is
lands as any other man. He is familiar
with the labor conditions in Hawaii In all
their bearings. He has a wide acquaint-
ance with the japanese residents He is
at the same time closely in touch with af--
fairs on the mainland, having served here
as minister of the Hawaiian republic for
some years and often visiting the states for
the purpose of advancing commercial in
terests with which he is connected. Indeed,
no more reliable testimony as to the state
of things in the Islands could possibly be
had than that which he gave in the course
OF an interview printed in yesterdays Star.
Mr. Thurstons denial of the absurd rumor
that the japanese are preparing for a de-
scent upon Hawaii was scarcely needed.
That report Is altogether too preposterous
to be given the least credence. yet it has
gained currency within the past few days
and 1t has been deemed worthy of a serious
denial by the Secretary of War.
Hawaii is it is true, receiving numbers of
Japanese labOrers, for whom it has urgent
need, as Mr. Thurston points out. The
islands could at this time absorb much
larger number. 1t is, however, unable to
secure immigraI Is from Europe, owing to
the high charges for transportation; and it's
appeals to the mainland have thus far fall
Ell upon deaf ears. The Japanese supply
the labor market conveniently and salts
factorily. and enable the planters of the
islands to maintain their establishments
upon a scale of fair prosperity. But even
these Japanese who have come to the help
OF Hawaii are subject to demand from
the mainland. owing to the scarcity of labor
planters are kept in constant state of
anxiety which has no relation whatever
TO the rumored possibilities of war.
incidentally, MIR. Thurston throws an in
tercsting light upon the way in which
Hawaii, with its large mixed population.
manages its schools. 1t draws line of
race. but admits to the schools all children
who meet certain requirements as to age
ana language. The Asiatc who can speak
English sufficiently to enter the classes is
admitted as freely as the child of English
parents or the native Hawaiian. Had Cali
fornia undertaken to regulate its school sit
uation by the same means there would have
bsen no ground WI Etever for complaint by
the Japanese The whole unfortunate dis
pute has been precipitated because of the
laundering manner in which certain influ-
ences in that state have, at the risk of
weakening the good feeling between the
United States and Japan. undertaken to
draw arbitrary race lines and to offend an
entire people wantonly and unnecessarily.
