GROVER cLEvELAND's

GROVER CLEVELAND'S DEATH
The announcement this morning of
the death of Grover Cleveland, who
was the only living ex-president of the
United States, came as a distinct
shock During his recent illness at
Lakewood, N. j., the reports as to his
condition were vague and guarded, but
when he had recovered sufficiently to
return to his home in Princeton 1t was
thought the crisis had been passed and
that his recovery was assured. There
was no announcement that his illness
had taken serious turn and no one
was prepared for the sad news fash
ed over the wires today.
During the latter years the great
American people has come to hold the
name of Cleveland in great respect
and veneTation. Sober thought had
brought the realization that this man
has been greatly abused by his politi-
cal opponents 1t was brought home
to the people that all Of this mans
public acts were actuated by the
most answering honesty, of pur-
pose, and 1t was held the more to his
when he felt himself to be in the
right, and never moved from fulfilling
his high duty by public clamor or
political opposition.
Time has softened the public feeling
toward Grover Cleveland, and in the
last few years, the people, viewing his
career and his accomplishments with
the absence of prejudice and bias that
a glance into the past can bring, have
come to realize the greatness of the
man. His devotion to the wife and
children left widowed and fatherless
by his demise has formed picture
of the ideal home life which had been
shining example to the American
people. And though the blow to the
wife and family will be severe in the
loss of dear one, the blow to the
country will be far greater by the
loss of one of the big minds and
hearts Of the generation.

A school of preventative medicine,
sanitary science and public health is
to be conducted in connection with
Columbia university. In the announce
ment of the plans in the Columbia
quarterly physician makes the as.
sertion that two-thirds of the deaths
before the age of five years are pre-
ventable, that the death of loo, 900 peo-
pie a year from pneumonia is pre-
ventable, that 10000 people are blind
needlessly and that 5000 are crippled
every year by preventable accidents.
These grewsome statistics are proof
that there is a large field for this new
school Of medicine.

homes in America. They have decid-
ed on an investigation to learn if it is
true that certain countries in Europe
are stemming the tide of emigration
by misrepresenting conditions here.
The immigration officials point out
that the number of immigrants for
May was 96,S17, as compared with
1886 last year and 150,927 in May,
1906. The immigration from Russia,
which was 35,306 in May last year and
2S,S17 in May, 1906, this year dropped
to $3.50. Immigration for six months,
including May. show an equally large
falling off, the total for the period
being only 227,2S3, as compared with
674,6S4 last year and 616,50S the pre-
vious year.
This is a matter, though, that need
not needlessly alarm the officials.
Very little money was taken out OF
the country when the tide turned to
Europe that would not have been sent
home had these immigrants remained
here. Those that emigrated to this
country to honestly make their homes
here, remained during the dull times,
as during the times of prosperity. The
hordes who crossed the water with
the first signs of the suspension OF
business were largely of the kind who
still retained their homes in their own
country and who sent the bulk OF
their earnings back to those homes
after they had made their temporary
home here.
When the demand for labor be
comes so acute that the ranks must
be recruited from across the waters il
| is certain that the tide of immigra
| ton will again turn
