is contemplated would certainly come in this class, says a Washington writer. Of course every one knows from the map where lower California is. It is the big peninsula reaching down the west edge of Mexico and about corresponds geographically to Florida on the eastern edge of the continent. It is considerably bigger than Florida, but it has population of only 45,000 and is mostly unin- habitable desert. In fact they say in California proper that it is so dry down there. that the fish have to carry canteens up the river to get enough to drink. But it is potential ly a rich country, full of copper and it is believed quite rich too in silver and gold But what this country wants it for primarily is not for its minerals but for the naval station furnished by Magdalena bay. Thls Is better location TOT naval Dase than any other spot on the Pacific coast. We have been using it as such by permission of Mexico but to purchase or lease it would require an amendment to the Mexican constitu- tion Eventually it would be likely to be as good an investment for this country as was Alaska and it has the advantage of being attached to the United States. In fact it is geo. graphically more part of the United States than it is of Mexico. Its pos session would immensely strengthen us if the Monroe Doctrins were ever seriously contested. In fact if we must expand, it seems promising direction for expansion.

CARING FUR SICK
BOSTON HAS SPENT s1s,ooo, ,ooo
 FOR THE AFFLICTED.
City Has Probably the Largest and Finest Institution of Any City of the country-Ail Nations
 as Patients.

The health of a city is of vital i'm portance and judging from the mil
 lions which Boston has spent upon her hospital, there is no city which
 realizes this more than that spec tacled, bean-eating town on the bay of Cape Cod. Thirteen millions of dol lars ought to give her the finest equipped institution for treating the sick and deformec, and this is what she claims for herself. s.
 The hospital proper contains 4S0,9 ,963 square feet. or nearly ten acres. The south department contains R5,736 square feet, .or nearly three acres; the ambulance station, boiler and dynamo house. coal pocket and wharf, contain 69,7S5 square feet, or 1.6 acres: the Convalescent home, con taining 610.500 square feet, or IA acres, and the relief station contains s,507 square feet. or one-tifth of an acre. So that, all told, the Boston city hospital covers an area of 1,245.- 4sl square feet. or 2S.6 acres. It is almost a city in itself
 It is a really enormous field the hos pital covers. and a variety of nation alitieS find relief there. No hospital can confne it's operations to any spec flied territory or class of people when engaged in such broad humanitarian work as that of the city hospital A glance over the figures of patients for just one year will illustrate this point. Boston sent during this IF months 2.z15 patients. for treatment: other towns in the state had therespectable total of SIS: Maine had 29l; New Hampshire had l2l: Vermont, Rhode Island. Connecticut. the middle Allan tic states. the District of Columbia and the southern states were repre- scented by several hundred patients. And here are a few of the countries from which the invalids came: Ire land. 1.s72: British provinces. s6O; Italy. 353: Russia. 32I: England. 2s2: Sweden. 150: Germany. 114; Poland. g; Greece. 22: Norway. 70; France. 14: Portugal F: Turkey. ten: Fin land. ten; Hungary. nine: Armenia. seven. China. five: Roumania, four; Bohemia. three. Spain. two: Lith- uania, two: ChiIi. one: Hawaiian islands. one; Asia. one. and a score of other countries were represented Bos- ion may be said to open it's arms to the sick Of the world at the Boston city hospital
 Roughly speaking. the city hospital costs Boston haIf a million dollars a year for its maintenance. During the 1z months between s.000 and s.o00 pa- tisnts are treated This number does not include. of course. the out-patfents NhO cone to the hospital for treat nent and do not stay over night. In recent years the number of patients treated ia the ozt-psuent departments has averaged close to ss.seQ fer each

12 months. The number of visits these sufferers have paid to the hospital comes to the enormous total of 125,- 900 during the same period
 Within the buildings one could lose himself without any difficulty. It would be almost pleasure to be lost, for there is an atmosphere of restful- ness and of distance from the every day busy world that soothes tangled neryes' lnnumerable corridors, hall. ways, wards, operating rooms, lecture rooms, sleeping rooms, offices. etc, bewilder the chance visitor At the same time, there is an orderliness about everything, sense of purpose and of restrained and we'll directed energy that gives one the impression of a vast machine working smoothly and easily.

 The attempt to shoot President Fallieres of France seems to have been a crazy performance, the result of no particular conspiracy, but only the effort of man with a mania.

 If Japan finds it necessary to lick Russia again she will have to give notice of her intentions before start ing in on the contract or else be drowned upon by the powers who send delegates to the peace confer ence at The Hague.

 Whats that? Will the legislature vote to give the states prison record to person who is so fortunate as to be legally adjudged insane? That is what the legislature will do if it passes the bill which provides that the persons who are accused of crimes but are found not guilty on the ground of insanity may be commit ted to the insane ward of the state prison instead of to the state hospital for insane.--Ansonia Sentinel.
 The British admiralty has a unique way of dealing with the eanteen question. It pays a daily indemnity to sailors who do not drink the al- lowance of grog made to them by the navy. and the sum has just been in creased to penny a day for each ab- stainer, which adds about S7.5O a year each to the pay of the teetotal- CTS. who constitute about one-fourth of the whole number.-Springfield Union.

WEDNESDAY, JULY r., 1907.

No doubt many people have been surprised at the collapse of the Roosevelt anti-railroad campaign be- fore anything has really been ac- complished, but that should not be a matter for wonder when it is consid- cred that MT Roosevelt never hangs on long to one job, but better likes the excitement that new projects of fer. Then, he has discovered that the legislatures of some of the states have taken the bull by the horns and passed railroad rate reduction laws which have discounted the puny effect of the Roosevelt rate legisla- tion. Then again the administration project is to nominate Secretary Cortelyou for president because the corporations and the Wall street fnanciers are willing to furnish the necessary campaign fund to elect him, which is the strongest reason for letting up on the railroads. Yet MT Cortelyou would be acclaimed as the residuary legatee of the Roose- welt strength and is supposed to be ready to carry into effect my polio ies''-whatever they are. But it is still some time to the nominating

One of the most interesting features of the emperors visit was the numbe. Of petitions which were. go to speak. thrown at him during his fortnight's stay. Scarcely once did his majesty drive out from the Hradschin without somebody attempting to present an appeal Usually the petitioner was a small child and occasionally a woman. Most of the requests were for pc cuniary assistance. The emperor vas always extremely courteous. and when, as frequently happened. the let ter missed the carriage and fell into the road he invariably ordered the eoachman to stop while the document vas brought 10 him The household chanoery is now dealing with some thing more than a hundred petitions thus unceremoaiousIy presented.

When perfectly strange woman came for the soiled clothes three weeks ago the mistress of the house came to the conclusion that her own laundress had simply employed a new messenger, and made no com. ment on the circumstances. But when two weeks had gone by, and still the old laundress-known as Susan. no last name having been mentioned did not appear, the mistress of the house felt that she would be lacking in her duty if she did not make some inquiry about her. Where is Susan?" she asked the tall and bony structure who came for the clothes. She has gone to Pennsylvania to live. yes sum-" returned this person, with com posture. She went to Pennsylvania some time ago, an she lef' good-by fer yuh, but s'long es yuh didn't seem tuh notis l didn't say nuffin."

Whether we have war with Japan in the next ten months or the next ten years or not at all, the trip of the battleship squadron around Cape Horn will be a good object lesson to the American public on the necessity of digging the Panama canal. The fleet that Admiral Evans will take from the Atlantic to the Pacific prob ably will be as good as could be got ten together, but a 13,000 mile run is a more severe test than battleship is usually called on to endure and it is not likely that the whole of the American fleet will arrive at San Francisco in as good condition as was the Oregon when she made her fam ous run from the Pacific to the At lantic Were the canal a reality. the tedious voyage around Cape Horn would not be necessary and ships could be transferred from one coast to the other in this country without either much time or trouble. The water way across the Isthmus would reduce the essential size of the Am erican navy by at least one-third. This would be an item of moment not only in the cost of the fleet but in its maintenance. Strategetically the canal will be of more use to this country than to any other in the world. and the sooner we get it done merely from motives of self. protec- tion, the better it will be for us.

JUROR
INSANE
Brooding Over Murder Case
Unbalanced His
Mind.

Cwensboro, Ky, December 24.-The
jury in the case of William Poole,
charged with the murder OF Floyd
Perkins, after having considered the
case from 4 o'clock Saturday after
noon, until 1 o'clock Monday morn
ing, was discharged by Judge Birk-
head The Court discharged the jury
because John Keller, juror and one
of the most prominent farmers of the
county, had become insane due to
breeding over the case.
Ihe members of the jury noticed
Sunday afternoon that Keller was
acting strangely. He had heard so
much about hung jury" that he
believed his fellow jurors wanted to
hang Inn. After the jury had re-
tired for the night, Keller arose and
prepared to dress. The Deputy
Sheriff in a charge of the. Jury asked
Keller whittier he was going. He
replied that he had left some papers
for his wife and that there would
be "a dead man in the morning. I"
He folded his arms and said he was
ready to be tied with rope. The
deputy at once notified Judge Blrk-
head. The Judge had the prisoner
brought from the Jail, discharged the
jury and continued the case.
Keller was sent to his home. Ply
sieians say that worry over the trial
unbalanced his mind. He continues
to rave.

TO FIGHT
Congressman Burton Says
Foraker Can Get What
He is Looking for.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 24.-Congress-
man Burton, aroused by the Fora
ker conference here Sunday night
issues a statement in which he
says Senator Foraker can have all
the fight he desires in Cuyahoga
county and Unlo.
Mr.. Burton refers to Foraker IS
candidacy for the presidential
nomination in terms of caustic sar-
.casm, declaring that .'the only rea-
son for Senator Foraker's candid
acy seems to be an attempt to
injure William H. taft, the choice
OF Ohlo.D ne gays there is q
semblance of a fight in Cuyahoga
county for control, but that Taft
will easily get solid delegation
II fair means are employed.
Burton urges that the primary
method of selecting delegates be
adopted; that voters be not elec-
tioneered, but allowed to come as
they choose. He will insist that
there be two tickets placed before
the voters. One will be headed by
tn name of William II. Taft as the
candidate for the presidency and
the other with the name of For
aker as the candidate. Each list
VIII contain 60 names, the mum,
ber of delegates to which Cuyahoga
county is entitled.
