although he has reached at least the
years of some discretion, he is still
haunted by that golden-curled youth
who added new type to American
juvenile fiction.
But once upon time, in sheer des-

on account of the Fauntleroy con-

Of this unconventional combination
is the little collection of letters writ
ten from the Flowery Kingdom,
which bears the above title. Mrs.
Frances Macauley, the author, has
disguised herself as Frances Little.
Like Mrs. Rice, she is a resident
of Louisville, Kentucky, having re-
turned last autumn from Japan, where
she spent four years in missionary
work as kindergarten teacher and
instructor of a kindergarten training
school, according to the Mission
Board reports, though she, herself,
Classics her labors as "wiping little
Japans nose" AS the letters are
those that were written to her family
during that time, the pranks played
by Sister Fate on the unfortunate
heroine are far from being imagin-
airy, an unhappy matrimonial alliance
having marked the beginning of Mrs.
Macauley's career. When, at last, it
came to an end, to forget her sorrow
she studied kindergarten, and when
her course was finished said good-by
to Kentucky for four years and sailed
for Japan.
On her return, last year, she went
to Louisville and made her home
with Mrs. Rice, at whose suggestion
the letters were published, Mate"
to whom they were written, being
none other than Mrs. Rice herself.
The Japanese babies are responsible
for the title, as they called Mrs. Mac
auley The Lady of the Decoration,
because they supposed the little
watch she wore pinned to her gown
was decoration bestowed by the
Emperor, and, in consequence, she was
saluted by them wherever she went,
as beftted her rank. The episode of
Jack, which weaves a thread of ro-
nance through the letters, is the
part of the book which is fiction.
Mrs. Macauley has returned with a
vivid realization OF the degradation
of the peasant woman of Japan, and
short time ago joined "the plat
form girls" to paraphrase the late
Major Pond, and has successfully
lectured in the South, her topics be-
ing drawn from her recent Japanese
axnar;encae

Where is Tom Watson? And why has

TAN, and Bryan. and Hisgen. and Chain.
and Debs have been touring the country,
and appealing fervently and eloauently to
their fellow citizens for votes, but of Mr..
Watson little or nothing has been heard.
No special train has hurried him from
state to state. Has he. indeed. left the
state Of Georgia? II 80. the fact has not
been chronicled. And what has he
done even on his native heath? Georgia
was all but unanimous a few weeks ago
for little Joe Brown for governor. and
that was accepted as foreshadowing a
large majority next month for Mr. Bryan.
At the outset those who looked and
hoped for ginger In the campaign pinned
their faith to the populist candidate.
Next to Mr.. Bryan he was the best
talker in the list. 1t was known that
Judge Taft made no pretensions to ora
tory. Hisgen. being a merchant. was
not supposed to be q speaker. Chain
could not hope for much attention. while
Debs. though q bright man. could hope
for audiences only In certain centers Of
extreme discomfort. Moreover. neither
Hisgen. Chain nor Debs could be prop

But Mr.. Watson had served in Congress-

Tb. Attack on Chairman Smith.

REPRESENTATIVE s. w. Smith, chairman
Of the House District committee, Is nav
ing a hot fight for reelection and his OPP
ponent is using against him the charge
that in handling District legislation he Is
the mere tool of the local gas company
and other large corporate interests. and
that he is condemned and denounced as
such by his voteless constituents of the
District of Columbia. The Star, with
many others, thought that the proposed
legislation, seeking cheaper and better
gas for the District. was not advanced In
and BY the House District committee with
sufficient vigor last session; but that on
the foundation of this perhaps wide
spread belief the local community should
be represented as attacking Mr.. Smith in
his home district as unduly and improp-
erly influenced by the corporations is un-
just to Mr.. Smith and unfair to the peo.
pie of Washington. This community ex-
poets from the legislators provided for It
by the Constitution an intelligent inter-
est in its affairs and an honest expression
of opinion upon legislative propositions
affecting It. 1t would not expect from the
Angel Gabrie. or King Solomon as chair
man of the House District committee such
decisions and acts as would In every In
stance render impossible criticism or COM
plant.
Instead OF denouncing Representative
Smith as unworthy and corrupt. this COM
munity, in The Stars opinion. feels high
regard for him personally and oficially
and appreciates that he has. as chairman,
decided and acted in all cases honestly
conscientiously and with intent to serve
the public interest.

The American Conquest Of Disease.

The prevalence of cholera in Manila

OF new cases. there is no occasion for
fear that the disease will get out OF

a vast difference between the American
and the Spanish methods Of administra-

assumption by the American people OF
the Panama canal enterprise, has eject
lively demonstrated the genius of this
country for sanitation. The successful
assault against yellow fever in Cuba SUI
decd to prove that the Americans have
mastered one of the great principles of

ignorance OF sanitary law. This demon

cause Of the fact that here in the United
States is Q field of action which invites

The secret of the American success In
combating the epidemic diseases Of the
newly acquired territory is that In every
case search Us been made primarily for
the cause. Thus in Cuba. it having been
ascertained that q certain species Of mos
quito transmitted the disease principle,
the chief effort was directed at the elimi-
nation of that pest. Its breeding places
were destroyed and thorough systems OF
drainage were installed. with the conse-
quence that today yellow fever Is Dracti-
cally unknown throughout the island.
while in Panama, once notorious the
world over as . pest hole. not case OF
yellow fever has been reported for many
months.
1t may be believed that in time cholera
will be as effectively eradicated from the
Philippines. This is a distinctly prevent
able disease. the problem being to teach
the people the simple means of avoiding
infection. 1t is reported that as a meas
ure to this end the government will un-
dertake to restrict the dense gatherings
Of natives on festal days, it being plain
to the scientists that the disease Is spread
chiefly in consequence of the unw1se eat
ing and drinking of the natives on these
occasions. One of the most serious DIM
culties in this case is the fact that the
spread Of cholera is closely associated
with the sport of cock fighting, which Is
a national pastime beyond easy reguia-
ton. At these fights the natives. ignor-
ing all rules of prudence. eat and drink
without thought for health, and many OF
the cases which have developed in Ma
Mia are attributed to this cause.
Despite these difficulties. it is expected
that the officials at Manila will conquer
the pest. They have had ten years OF
training in this field. and this expert
ence, coupled with a knowledge of the
native character. will doubtless enable
them to score another victory over the
tropics.

Mr.. Brvan's New Honors.

Mr.. Bryan?-has developed at the
eleventh hour. 1t is not an infringement
Of the Hobson patent. as Capt. Hobson
was a handsome young bachelor at the
time he was kissed into a greater fame
than his heroism at Santiago had
brought him. Like Mr.. Bryan, he is bald
now and a sedate man of family, and In
his public appearances appeals only for
attention to his words and for applause.
Mr.. Bryan is described as bearing his
new honors blushingly, although showing
a little furry when mixed crowds press
too closely upon him. At one time he
appeared wholly unafraid.
