No country in the world has so fine
a network of waterways that, wisely
used, could cheaper travel and trans

the Waterways Congress in Washing

In notable address at the tubercu-

der-feeding and over-crowding, and
two of these may be included under
the one word 'under-paid.' " The

don't take so much away from
them

Cuba is much incensed over that
part of Roosevelt s message which
specifically warns that country that
" the only way for a nation not desir-
ing foreign domination is to show it's
ability to conduct self-government."
Mr.. Roosevelt should have been en-
tirely honest and inserted the word
little" before nation. Large and
strong nations may trample upon ev-
cry vestige Of law and order without
fear. Russia has for generations sim
ply reveled in bloodshed, but who
threatens her with subjugation? The
United States gives gross instances
of failure Of the people to govern
themselves, but that, Of course, is
another story"

department, it is we'll to remark that
Nathan Straus, head thereof, has just
recommended the division Of this de-
partment into two-separating that

ton, in fact, of a Department Of La
bor.)
Mr.. Roosevelt embodies the view
Of Postmaster General William L.

ing independent bureaus be placed
under the jurisdiction Of appropriate

Ayers that our foreign relations
are in excellent shape, that the Pana-
ma Canal will prove "a model for

that Hawaii is making good progress,
recommends that American citizen
ship be conferred upon people of Por-
to Rico, but holds out little hope for
the Philippines and gives warning to
Cuba to behave itself or Uncle Sam

Objects to the seniority system Of
promotion in the army, recommends
organization Of a great body of vol
unteers behind the regular army, and
national guards, when war has come
and approves steady increase in the
navy.
That part Of his message which has
stirred up hornets nest is this:
~ do not believe that it is in the
public interest to protect criminals
in any branch of the public service,
and exactly as we have again and
again during the past seven years
prosecuted and convicted such crimi-
nails who were in the executive branch
of the government, so in my belief
we should be given ample means to
prosecute them if found in the legis-
lative branch. But if this is not con-
sidered desirable a special exception
could be made in the law prohibiting
the use of the secret service force in
Investigating members Of the con-
gress. It would be far better to do
this than to do what actually was
done, and strive to prevent or at least
to hamper effective action against
criminals of the executive branch of
the government.

as follows:

Secretary Wilson says the public
cannot tell fresh eggs from stale. That
is mistake. The public has an infal-
lible rule. All 1t has to do is to ask
the groceryman: The public isn't
obliged to carry around an electric
battery and an X-ray machine for the
purpose of testing its eggs. The gro
Ger Is always more than pleased to
give the facts. That is what he is
there. for. The skeptical person might
think the grocer himself didn't know,
but he does. 1t is an easy matter for
him to know. All he has to do to get
a strictly fresh egg is to pick 1t out of
the 41-cent basket. The price seems
to him sufficient guaranty of fresh
ness.

Modern Hospitals.

It is difficult to conceive the change
which has been wrought in human life
by modern hospitals. From the be-
ginning of the Christian era the rell-
gious made an effort to reduce suffer.
ing by caring for the sick and aged.
Compassion for pain became speedily
a characteristic of the Christian. But
ber from the dark ages up to the mid
die of the nineteenth century, there
was often reason to question their ac-
tual beneficence. The risks OF infec-
tion were SO multiplied by the assem-.
bling of numbers of sick people that
1t was doubtful how greatly human ills
were diminished by the hospital. But
with the knowledge of antiseptic meth
ods all this has been changed. and to-
day the beneficence of hospitals is i'm
mense and unquestioned. For their
practical work they are largely de-
pendent upon the devoted labor OF
women. The women nurses within and
the women benefactors without the
hospital walls are numbered by hun
dreds of thousands. In a great city
the service of the hospitals is enor
nous. On Hospital Sunday" London
subscribes no less than 100000 for
the support of It's hospitals. A single
one OF them, situated in the White
chapel district. among the very poor
est people in the great city, has
served 100000 patients since it was
opened. 1t has more than 500 in its
wards constantly. Fifty patients are
operated on daily. When one thinks
of the number of women who by day
and night, year in and year out. SUP
ply the wants and alleviate the pain
of the patients in the great London
hospital and in thousands of similar
institutions over the whole civilized.
