THURSDAY. MARCH 5. 1908.

IT we may judge from the reports comfng to us from the fleet now on the last lap of it's journey up the Pacific coast towards San Francisco. the of- Acars and sailors might be pardoned for wishing the trip would continue in- dsGnstely. Some speak of the voyags as a "iower parade" and certainly those participating in it have had a good time so far. Admiral Evans said at the start that the fleet would be ready for "a feast. fight or rrolic," ana there's no doubt that the feast and frolIc part of the program has been kept up. in good shape. ohicers and men have been feasted and feted all along their trip. and when they arrive in Frisco harbor they will doubtless have one of the grandest blowouts of their lives. It will be trip long to be remembered. even with the fight left out.

ROCKS THE WHITE HOUSE.

Effect of News That Indepndenee
 League Will Nominate Roosevelt. Washington Ditpateh to New York
 World.
 Strange noises were heard from the White House all day today. after the glad news that Hearst's Independence League was thfnging of nominating Mr. Roosevelt for President was received. President Roosevek refused to discuss the subject in words. but from the choking noise which escaped him at each mention of it his visitors inferred that he was not pleased. At intervals the President sought relief by bark. ing, and three files were brought Into his room in rapid succession and taken out again badly gnawed-
 MT. Roosevelt's esteem and admire ton for Mir. Hearst reached the zero point some years ago and has been go- ing rapidly down ever since Mir. Roosevelt often discusses Mir. Hearsfss character. personality and attachments. and on such occasions he becomes post lively eloquent When he is talking about MT. Hearst the White House thermometer often reaches the boiling point His enthusiasm over the pros pect of nomination at Mr. Hearst's hands can hardly be estimated. The microscope has not been developed that far.
 When Secretary Loeb was asked for a abatement on the White House atti- tude toward the situation thus deveI- oped. he made no reply except to call Pete. the bulldog. What makes the matter worseSis that the President has not yet quite recovered from the re- cent kindly announcement of Jake Riis. that he was going to run Mir. Roosevelt for mayor of New York and that he had reason to believe the President would accept.
 At late hour tonight the roar from the White House had subsided into a dull rumble, but the neighboring propefty owners were still wakeful and apprehensive. and the entire fire de- pertinent was on duty prepared for any emergency.

THE DANGEROUS RODENT.

We don't know when rats first came on the scene of action. but think 1t ale together likely that they were among the first to butt in. They probably ate Adam's hoarded grain and gnaWed Eve's fine clothes-if the good woman had any, about which there Is some dispute. We feel sure that there were some in the ark and that they worried poor old Noah not a little bit while he was trying to find a good place to land.
 But however all that may be, we may reasonably assume that they have been with humanity all the while and that the Chinese find them handy when they are cooked and placed on the table. but for all that they are general ly looked on as a nuisance to be gotten rid of in the most thorough manner that can be devised. Now that 1t is settled that they are great distributors of the bubonic plague if not of other dangerous contagious or infectious dis eases the desire to get rid of them is becoming more universal.
 But getting rid of the is the job and the problem. They have a habit of multiplying rapidly and under all sorts

This ls My 4Sth Birthday
Frederick H. Newell.

Frederick H. Newell, Chief Enginesr of the Reclamation Service of the Unit ed States. was born in Bradford. Pa. March 5, 1862, and was graduated from the engineering department of the Mas sachusetts Institute of Technology in 1885. Immediately after the completion of his studies he took up irrigation work in Colorado. He entered the em- pIoyment of the Irrigation Survey as a hydraulic engineer in 1888 and was con- Ninued in the service by the Govern ment ever since. When the Reclama- tion Service was established by act of Congress of June IT, 1902, Mir Newell was appointed chief engineer, and one year ago he succeeded Charles D. Wal colt as director of the service. MT. Newell has spent practically the whole of his professional career in reclaiming the arid lands of the West. Under his guidance the reclamation service has grown to be a most important branch of the Government service. The work of inc service which was of most inc significant proportions a few years ago now gives employment to 10000 per sons and involves the expenditure ap. proximately of 100000 a month. Sew eral great irrigation projects have been completed in the Western SSates and number of others are in progress of construction.

The gift by MT. Carnegie of one-hun- .dred-thousand dollars to assist the eminent Dr.. Koch in his investigations Into the causes, prevention and cure of tuberculosis is certainly one instance of the money of a rich man being put to good use. Among the many ail- ments to which suffering humanity is subject there is hardly one that is more insidious. more narrowing and more deadly than consumption and kindred ailments. and all efforts to find a cure or preventive should be liberal ly sustained. pr. Koch is a man of deserved reputation in this line of in- testigation, and all efforts looking to freeing human beings from it's ravages should be encouraged. Certainly MT. Carnegie could put some of his surplus 10 no better use than this.

of conditions. They can find a time to breed. place to breed and means of subsistence. We can't stop them from multiplying. as long as there are any to keep up the business. so the only thing to do is to kill them out or other wise rid the land of them. but how is it to be done? We can't banish them, as St. Patrick Is reported to have ban ish the snakes from Ireland so of nec- essity killing is the only remedy left us. Traps will catch some of them, and cats will kill few-when they choose to do so, but sometimes we have thought that the cats and rats were in partnership. Possibly that Is unjust to the cats.
 Many and various are the poisons ex- plotted as being death on rats. but sometimes they refuse to eat the prep aration and in most cases it is as sure to kill anything else eating 1t as 1t Is to kill the rats. Now. however. we are assured that . preparation has been found which is not open 70 these ob- jections. It is asserted that the rats greedily eat bait with this prepara- tion on it. and, what is of more im- poftance. it Is fatal to them but not injurious to other domestic animals or to human beings. If this Is true. and the new poison is not too expensive we may perhaps indulge the hope that man will in time get the better of the rats. That win be fne. Rats to your hoiesr'

NIr. Bryan,n WarnInr-

NashVille American.
 In the latest issue of MT. Bryan's Commoner. under the caption, "Vigi- lance" the following warning appears on the front page in black type:
 Watch the personnel of the delega- tion to Denver. Money is being used in some of the States of the Mississippi Valley to secure delegations who wilI be obedient to the predatory interests. Vigilance is necessary. Put none but the trustworthy on guard. The, Dem ocratic masses are aroused and they must not be betrayed by representa- tives of ''Ths System"
 The American gives this warning the benedt of it's circulation, and eau tions all to beware of attempts to buy them. This warning was written by MT. Bryan himself. He is quoted as saying at Jackson, Miss: "I am con vinced that the Ryan and Hill interests, representing the trusts and the rail- roads, are back of the movement. delegations in the Misslssippi Valley States, but they are trying to get a personnel of delegates who will be un- friendly to my nomination." He adds: T have my Information from a man who overheard a telephone converse tion on the subject and I have every reason to believe that he heard arfghI. At any rate. I wrote that paragraph myself. and l know what I ana talking about"
 MT. Bryan need not be uneasy so far as the South is concerned. There Is a large Democratic element in the South who would very much prefer to see somebody nominated who might have a better chance of success than Mir. Bryan, but they know that he will be nominated, and most of them can be relied on to vote for him. We do not believe there Is any attempt to prevent his nomination by the methods to which he refers, If the Democracy wants MT. Bryan 1t would be fatal to any other man to nominate him.

Testlfying before the interstate commerce. con cut in wages, MT. Ackert said that his road did not earn one-half of it's fixed charges during December, and that the loss in the first seven oGys in February was S36O00 a day and that decreased earning continue This is> something for conservatism to ponder over and possibly may lead some to wonder what NIr.
