Washington, March 26--Word reached the Nicaraguan legation this morn ing that the victorious army of Nicaragua has occupied the capital of Honduras. The backbone of the cam paign of the allied forces of Honduras and Salvador seems to be broken, and there is now nothing for Hondur- as to do but sue for place. It had been the hope of President Roosevelt and the cabinet that matters would not get to such an extreme before the arrival of Secretary of War Taft on the field of conflict
 President Bonila of Honduras and his cabinet fled before the Mic araguan army and are now somewhere in the mountains with the remainder of the Honduran forces. This will mix matters up more than ever for Taft as there is now no capital or stable point of government in which negotiations can be formulated.

Leavenworth, Kansas, March 25- Through leaving food in brass kettle over night, the management of the National Soldiers Home in this city, yesterday came close to causing the death of the nine hundred or more old soldiers in their charge. As it is one of the old veterans lies dead and seventy-fve others are in the hospital seriously sick, their poor old bodies racked with the violent pain resulting from the poisoned food given them. Popular sentiment is at such a pitch that rigid investiga- tion is bound to follow, and official heads will fall. When word was phoned down town that hundreds of the men who had offered themselves to preserve the nations integrity, were threatened by death oh accoun t of the carelessness of .those paid to take care of them it looked as though immediate trouble would ensue. Sounder judgment prevailed, how ever, and a request for 6 searching investigation was wired to Washing ton with demand attached that the party responsible for the trouble be dismissed forthwith.

POETRY AND. SENSE.

There is a vast amount of poetry in this world
and some sense. But it is seldom they are found
together in these latter-day strenuous times Poet
ry nowadays mostly rhymes, but it has cold feet
Or if the feet are perfect the poem winds up with
a suggestion of commercialism which, while it may
sell goods, lacks the twaddle of sentimentalism
which made some of the old masters famous. Who
has not read aloud some of these gas-meter rhymes
and fallen the crooked feet of the poet into
pile of sush at the end Or if the verses were not
built according to the gas-meter did they not sing
the merits of somebody's soap that cures pimples
or of the excellencies of somebody's canned pork
and beans2
There seems to be fiction that poetry written
in an unintelligible dialect is good stuff and the
real singers in dialect have an army of molly
coddles to making it. Then we have the beautiful
thoughts" poet-thousands of him. He peddles up
lot of half-baked truths and nonsense that re-
mind one of box of Christmas cigars It's aw-
full poor stuff to put into pipe. A fellow may be
good philosopher all right, but his philosophy goes
bad in his efforts make it fit his chosen meter 50
that by the time his poetry is perfect his philosophy
has lost its SAVIOR. Of course the productions of
the poet must not be analysed too closely They are
like patent medicines-good for about everything
till you know what they are. Then they are good
for nothing, or harmful, just as you take them or
leave them. We like poetry, especially Mr.. De
Luxes, for he always gets his books out in better
shape than anybody else-bar none But even in
his works. there is whole lot of stuff that leaves
a bad taste In the mouth.

ness Combinations in restraint of competition
exist IN nearly every line of trade Retail mer-
chants IN nearly every line organized and the
labor unions exist for no reason save to protect
their members from the powerful fellow
Economic questions are result of our unnat-
ural attitude toward each other In the first place
we all have to live or think we do. Our instinct
tells us that if can get away from some one else
what he possesses, our living will be more safely
assured Whereas our living comes from the
ground, instead of working it, the attention of
the people is directed to working everybody and
everything else. Our moral awakening must get
a little nearer home than New Jersey corpora
ton before any real and lasting benefit will come
to u.s. When the nation wakes up to this fact
there will really be no need for laws against dis
honesty or hardly anything else but we fear that
day is quite a way in the future.

GOOD SAMARITAN.

Old residents of Park City and Salt Lake will
remember Father Blake, who built the church and
school at Park City and was the first president Of
All Hallows college. For the past fifteen years
he has been pastor of the Catholic church at St.
Helena, where he has worked zealously and ac-
complished great deal
Having recently resigned his pastorate he is
going to devote the balance of his life to the care
of the sick. The San Jose Times gives brief
account of the noble enterprise:
Rev. Father Blake, for fifteen years pastor
of the st. Helena parish, who recently announced
his intention of devoting his life to the care of
victims of tuberculosis, has selected site for his
hospital. Father Blake has selected site near
Mission San Jose for the sanitarium He has had
plans prepared for a modern three-story edifice
that will accommodate 400 patients. The grounds
will extend over thirty acres and on account of
its natural advantages will attract patients from
all over the world.
Father Blake has long cherished the hope of
establishing modern hospital for consumptives
The dread ravages of the disease has long been
matter of deep study and concern with the self
sacrificing priest, and when he asked permission
of his ecclesiastical superiors to resign his pas
toral charge the consent was readily given Father
Blake has enlisted the financial support of mum
Der of wealthy residents of San Francisco in the
enterprise"

The navy department is again experimenting
to find paint color which, if applied to warships
will render them invisible or at least inconspicu-
