MAJOR PENRosE has again step
ped into the limelight by appearing
before the Senate committee in
vestigating the dastardly outrage
,perperrated by Penrose's soldiers
on tie people of Brownsville. The
major testife IS he is confident the
people of Brownsville shot up
their own town, stole empty car
fridge shells from the post and
scattered them around town to
fasten the guilt upon his command.
IF Major Penrose were some mar
,cotic-soaked imbecile, with an in
fnitesimal amount of diseased
gray matter in his cranial cavity
we should not be be surprised at
any halIucination he might tell us
about, but when it comes to as
man who is generally believed to
be sane repeating vaporings that
SAVIOR of the ramblings of man
Just emerging from an opium den,
~e confess we are at a loss to find
words to express our sorrow for
his friends.

France and Morocco.

Unless The Hague teaches the ma
lions to divide up the earth without ap-
pealing to the sword there will soon be
a var due over Morocco, and France
will not be on the outside. Slowly but
surely France is swallowing that rich
prize by means Of "pacifc penetra-
ton" The empire is covered with
French scientific missions, and for
every scientist mobbed by natives a
slice of territory is occupied by French
soldiers, ''to maintain order" Strange
it will be if France is allowed to pick
up 1900 miles of coast line Oh the
Mediterranean and the Atlantic, with
100000 square miles of fertile land ly-
ing at Europe's door, without burning
powder.
Germany fought to despoil France of
Alsace-Lorraine and to take the duchies
from Denmark. England had to fight
two wars in order to bring the Trans
vaal and the Orange Free State per-
manently under the British flag. Rus
STA laid her claws upon Manchuria, but
was called to answer with the sword.
If the great nations of Europe had no
interest in the fate Of Morocco beyond
a sentimental one France would have
absorbed the country long ago. For fif-
ty years the French have been working
to extend their influence over the whole
of northern Africa. Morocco is the key
to full development of French enter
prise along the southern shore Of the
Mediterranean, and all Europe recog-
nizes it. An acute crisis will come
when it t%ranspires that France must
fight to hang on OF else let go for good.
And to let go means to sink the labors
and sacrifices and Danish the dreams
of half a century.

Purity In the Milk Pail.

Having for his text the pure milk
campaign, Samuel Hopkins Adams in
McClure's Magazine lays stress upon
the plan Tor insuring the purity of
milk at it's fountain head. Where this
has been carried out a decreased death
rate among children has resulted. Mr..
Adams believes that the plan Of re-
quiring milk to be pure and germ free
to start with is better than any system
of killing all or some of the germs by
sterilization. He notes the demand that
all milk shipped to OF offered for sale
in New York be ~pasteurized and ac-
knowledges that unquestionably this
would do away with the original dan
ger of active infections and in an
emergency might be necessary. But
as a general and permanent principle
he believes it to be wrong and harm
full. He says:
Young children do not thrive upon pas
teurized milk, and it is to this class of
the community that milk is vitality neces-
bdIy. LII l1lS 1edlAl6 W1l1Cll oeSt1oyS liz
pathogenic bacilH disease germs), fer
ments proper to the milk are destroyed,
thus decreasing its nutritive qualities. FL
nally, the pa%steurizing Of all milk means
the tearing down Of all that has been
built up in the a Of improved dairy
conditions, since the flthiest supply may
be, admitted after treatment by the germ
killing process. No n wants to eat de-
cayed meat, even though it be deodorized
and treated with bactericidal processes.
Similarly. the public Of a great city
should not lave the gates thrown open
to filthy milk, no matter how protected
against specific infections.
The expense of keeping milk cattle
we'll and clean and guarding against
all forms of impurities in handling,
transporting and serving is greater
than where sterilization is resorted to,
but the writer argues that the more
costly method is more economical when
the whole public welfare is considered.
