MOB VIOLENCE

I'D ELLINGHAM, Washington, stu
n ate, at the head of the bay OF
that name and which was for
merly known as Whatcom, was the
scene yesterday of the inevitable war
fare which must come If the Hindus
OF Canada persist in coming over the
line and breaking in on the American
labor market.
Bellingham is a busy city, being
placed in fine situation geographic
ally, and by reason of coal, lumber
and fisheries there uses thousands of
laborers and the demand for more
grows rapidly. Organized labor is in
control OF the docks and larger plants,
and when the Hindus first came Bit
terly opposed them. The inevitable
came yesterday when mob drove
the Hindus from the city and toward
the Canadian line, and it will be diff
f1cult for them to regain a stable foot
ing again.
These Hindus came originally to
Canada under a labor contract and
by groups of tens and twenties grad
ually worked over to American terri
tory and entered the mills and fac
tories for small wages, cutting out
white men and women, till the latter
arose and drove them all out.
The fact that the Hindus are British
subjects will lead to diplomatic COM
plications, but the temper of the peo-
pie Of Washington will not brook their
presence among them, and legal steps
to return them must lead to grave
troubles. The Hindu is far more OBJ
jectionable than either the Chinese
or Japanese laborer, and his manners
and customs are utterly untitled for
American people, making the Hindu
a veritable pariah in this country, as
custom makes of him in the white
settlements of India.
This trouble has been in allegiance
for months, awaiting some leader, and
now that it has taken the form of
driving them out of the country it is
certain to continue till the last one
is gone.
If Governor Mead should call out
the militia, so strong is the local feel
ing toward the foreigners, it is GER
tain its members would be against
firing on their countrymen in defense
of the Hindus.
Popular feeling is with the people
in their fight for the expulsion of the
Hindu. but no excuse can be made
for the cruelties of the mob which
were used against these defenseless
people. Mob violence, always wrong,
was doubly so in this case, and Eng
lish law will be invoked to defend
them, making an international diff
Guilty not easy of solution.

BUBONIC PLAGUE

TUST why there should be conflict
between boards of health in San
~ Francisco, when plague so dread
as the bubonic pest is to be handled,
passes comprehension by laymen.
plague in that unfortunate city is
recalled, and how the medical men
locked professional horns and did very
unprofessional things to each other
while the plague multiplied and spread
beyond control.
The decided action taken by the
president, placing United States med
ical men in charge, while it may, annoy
the local medicos, will please the peo-
pie generally and warrant hope that
the plague will be stamped out. Iso=
IIation and fumigation are good things
in their way but effective sanitary
methods are what are needed, and the
thickly populated centers of the poor
are found to be the breeding places
for the plague. Heroic measures must
be used and the national board has
both the funds and power to tear down
and burn up infected premises and
enforce rigidly the necessary rules.
These things could not be so thorough
Iy done under local control and the
action of the federal authorities is
very timely and welcome.
Like other dread plaques the bubonic
sickness attacks all classes and ages,
and once it becomes epidemic, as it
offe, Of a nd
China, it is decimating in effect. In
the rattletrap homes of many of San
Francisco's people this disease will
find ready entrance, especially in the
district south of Market street, where
the sewer system was never good
one, and always backed up" by the
tides.
That the usual professional rum
pus" is avoided at the outset of the
plague removes a prime cause of its
spread, and all ports of the world will
watch the work of the government
authorities in their task of subduing
the scourge.
| Resignation of membership in the
local health board just now becauSe
of the action of Mayor Taylor and
President Roosevelt may be all right
from a professional viewpoint, but 1t
smacks of jealousy and illfeeling not
at all in accord with the high pro-
fessional standards reached and held
by physicians, and serves to call down
upon the offenders the condemnation Of
all good men. The lives Of thousands
of innocent people ought to be con-
sidered more than professional dig
nifty. and the worldwide interest of
the case will insure the offenders Il
general disesteem.

FIND PIRATES NEST
ON DESERTED ISLAND
New York Fish and Game Wardens
Discover Retreat of Robbers.
Get JeWeIry and other
vaIuabIes

NEW YORK, Sept. GA remote rem
devious Of piratical thieves was discov-
cred by state fish and game wardens
yesterday, they are convinced. More
over the wardens strongly suspect that
two burglars, who have masqueraded as
yachtsmen, narrowly escaped capture
by them.
Wardens John E. Overton of Port
Jefferson and e. A. Dorton of Freeport,
L. l., with a well-armed crew, were on
an auxiliary yacht Monday cruising
here and there in Gardeners and Pc
comic bays. They were searching for
the fish pirates, most of them from Con-
necticut. who take from Long Island
sound and waters near 1t, Holsters
smaller that the law allows to'be taken.
For the merciful game and fish law
protects little Holsters, although other
laws do not.
An easterly gale overlook the war
den,s yacht and for shelter they put In
at a cove-dented and seemingly de-
serted island east of Gardeners. Yes
terday they landed on this little island,
where are the ruins of a fort so old
that warriors of the Revolution occu-
pied 1t, probably. In the ruins of the
fort they found cook stove and the
remains of a meal-beelsteak and po-
tatoes-which plainly had been cooked
not long before.
Searching further, the wardens and
the crew found several pieces of jew
erly and silverware hidden between the
crumbling stones of the fort.
They will make a thorough search.
They believe their approach scared
away in their launch at least two burg
lars who, dressed as yachtsmen, have
been preying on summer residents
along the sounds shores. Two men so
dressed were seen speeding in launch
from Glen Cove Immediately after the
robbery of a cottage there occupied by
an officer of the Windsor Trust COM
pany of this city.

Future Will See Preventives Used

atlantic counsel, that man cannot be
too careful in the selection of his parents.
He is much concerned at the deafness
of our Legislators to the report of the
committee on physical deterioration, to the
opinions of which he gives his full sup
port
He is able to find some consolation in
the national outlook on the distaff side,
and remarks: 'I have great faith In the
British women, the potential mothers or
the next generation. They do not show
so much deterioration, except in the very
lowest strata, as the men, and in the
upper and middle classes the girls of to-
day will bear very favorable compare
son to their mothers and grandmothers'
The last half of the address consisted
of an examination of the increase or
decrease that has taken place of recent
years in the death rate from various
diseases.
After giving credit to sanitary science
for the decline in the ravages of tuber-
culosis and many of the specific infectious
disorders he called attention to the fact
that there has not been corresponding
diminution in deaths from those that
more especially affect children; but his
chief indictment was against the apathy
that exists concerning the enormous year
ly loss of life from pneumonia, which,
with the observance of proper caution,
might be a much more preventable dis
ease than 1t is considered to be. He dwelt
also on the wide scope for preventive
medicine in guarding against diseases of
the heart, kidneys and blood vessels, which
are on the increase, owing mo doubt
largely to greater wear and tear more
worry and anxiety in life"
1t is in this sphere undoubtedly that the
preventive activities Of the general prac-
titioner should find their scope, and we
consider that Sir James Barr has done
good service in calling attention to the
matter. He concluded a fighting speech
by again asserting that he was concerned
with the efficiency of life, and not merely
with useless longevity, and that the
maintenance of the vitality and manhood
of the nation is the true aim of medicine
His last word was for the surgeons, whose
very existence he ascribes to the inef-
ficiency of true preventive medicine.

PANAMA CANAL

M DIRK on the Panama canal gives
wv the nation a; timely object les
son, as well as the welcome
assurance that there is something
doing down that way.
Colonel Cocktails of the United
States engineer corps reached the max
imum output of earth and rock last
month and was deservedly compli-
mented therefor by the president.
The great object lesson given is in
the ready and effective work of a man
who is free from political dominance
and amenable only to his professional
honor and immediate superiors. as
against the bungling and errors Of
civilians who looked to patronage and
corporate influence to guide them.
This competent military engineer does
not care a rap for all the railroad
influence in the country and sees only
the gigantic task before him and the
readiest way TO accomplish it. Men
and material are given him and re-
suits follow. With former engineers
complications and difficulties cropped
out ceaselessly and the public patience
was sorely tried Each month now
sees a decided advance on the great
work, and the grandstand plays of
designing politicians are things Of the
past.
California will watch the work on
the canal anxiously, for every step
nearer completing the great waterway
will be a step toward her deliverance
from railroad bondage and traffic rob-
berries of all sorts.
The citrus fruit interests of the state
under the great impetus of rapid and
cheap transportation will grow to
enormous proportions and take their
rightful place as leading California
industry. The exorbitant freight tax
upon oranges and lemons has eaten
up profits for twenty years and paid
big dividends to stockholders of the
railroads at the expense of California
capital and labor; thus dwarfing what
should be a leading builder of the
state to feeder for railroad earnings
and enslaving the natural gift of OPP
portunity to stock manipulators.
But there is a good time coming for
the much-abused citrus fruit industry,
and Colonel Cocktails will be backed
in his laudable labors by the good
will and prayers of the people. who
see in him a purposeful man, bent
on doing his duty regardless of any
or all influences but that of the peo-
ple's rights.
What has been accomplished by TAX
ing the work of the canal out of pol
tics and placing it on purely busi-
ness basis could well be copied in
other tasks, and it is an educating
force along that line, the good of
which will be felt in future in the
conduct of great public enterprises.
Red tape and real work never mixed
well, and the present inviting outlook
on the isthmus proves the canal pro-
ject to be no exception.

THoRNLEss cAcTI

TF the promises made by Luther
Burbank to the irrigation con-
gress are ever realized and edible
cactus plants are grown on the great
desert areas of the south and
west there will be a revolution in the
cattle industry. Mr.. Burbank pro-
poses to raise 100 tons of good cattle
feed to the acre and cover every desert
patch in the country with his new
plant. opening up vast area now
utterly useless and uninhabitable, and
adding millions to the assessable value
of the public domain.
Past experiences with Burbank's
claims make it sure he will keep his
word and plant the Arizona desert
with the new food. The possibilities
of such consummation are vast and
with the aid of other great areas
brought under water will make homes
and work for millions of immigrants
and make the cattle industry chief of
all national sources of wealth.
The one great need to bring people
to the vast desert stretches in the
southwest has been feed for stock, and
as the proposed new food is indigen-
Gus. differing from the common forms
of cacti only in that it is thornless,
the wonderful yield-20O tons per acre
will soon cover all desert territory
with grazing cattle and solve the great
problem Of our desert lands.
Andrew Carnegie gave millions to
public libraries. many of which insti-
tutions are now mere ornaments, but
the few thousands he bestowed on
Burbank that he (Burbank) might be
freed from the care of support while
he wrought out his propositions in the
vegetable and fruit worlds, were emil
nently well bestowed, and the nation
at large will be direct benefciaries of
his gift.
The day OF fiouting Burbank as a
faddist is past and his aids to fruit
and cereal growers are acknowledged
by the excellent test of results, which
place him in the forefront of national
benefactors and make of Carnegies
gift of money national blessing.
with the millions Of arid acres of our
western deserts under crops of cacti
and covered with other millions of
cattle the limit of prosperity would
seem to have been reached. but other
