Value of Radium

The valueu of speck of radium is in
credibly great. and when Sydney Hol-
land. at Sir Frederick Treves' lecture
at the London hospital last week, picked
up the tube containing the famous sur
geon's microscopic $500 worth of radium
bromide Sir Frcdericks concern for its
safety may not have been altogether as
stunned. While the late Prof Curie was
lecturing on the wonderful element one
day in Paris he dropped the glass tube
containing the few grains of radium
with which he was demonstrating and
the glass breaking. the precious powder
was scattered all over the floor At
once the room was cleared every speck
of dust collected with the greatest care,
taken to the professors labora tory, dis
solved, recrystallized and the radiun ex-
tracted from the refuse again with the
loss of only an intinitesiInal fraction.
The cost Of radium bromide is about
TT a milligramme. which would mean
over 100000 for an ounce ayoirdupois.

NO QUARREL WITH TEDDY

Minneapolis. MINI, Feb 22.-Rea-
Admiral Robley D. Evans today ad
mitted that he felt blue. Hundreds
Of miles away from the great feet
which he started around the world
and from which he had been taken by
illness was stcaming into Hampton

YES. l am blue" said the admiral
when a man Is forced 10 realize
that his work IS over; that his life
IS behind him, tell you he knows
what Il is 10 feel bad"
The square chin and strong mouth
are not suggestive of sentimentallsm
but there was bitterness IN the voice
Of the man whose heart was with
the men on the big ba'tleships in
Hampton Roads.
I'm sorry that some one had IN
slnuatcd that there has been a quar-
rel between President Roosevelt and
myself" continued the admiral, land
that this resulted in my being in

Two New Battleships.

Two new battleships were ordered
by the naval appropriation bill passed
by the house. This very reasonable,
the navy was opposed, of course, by
the professional peace advocates.
Mr.. Bartholdt of Missouri, for exam
pie, declared there never was time
when to build more warshipS was as
"unwise and unnecessary as now. I'VE
are at peace with all the world" he
said, and we have wisely managed to
safeguard our peace as it has never
been before And Mr.. Slayden of
Texas wanted more battleships refused
as "a declaration to the world that the
United States neither desires nor ex-
poets war
What would be the use? No civil
lied nation desires war The days of
war for direct profit-like some of the
wars Of the so-called Roman republic
and at least one of the Crusades-have
long since passed.
But SO long as men are men, and ma
tions are composed Of men and not of
angels, and national rivalries for con-
troll of the earth and of use of its fruits
exist, all nations must expect war
unless willing or compelled to play the
part of a Switzerland or a Belgium.
And as the strong man armed is least
likely TO be attacked, the nation pre-
pared for war is surest of peace.
There was another aspect OF the
passing of this bill that calls for pub.
lie attention The Washington dis
patches assume and assert that fear of
war with Japan in the near future was
a potent argument for the retention of
the battleship item. If so, that item
was singularly futile way of meeting
the alleged danger. The new ships
could not be ready under two or three
years. We doubt that fear of war with
Japan had anything to do with the ap-
preparation.

WORK FOR MR.. TAFT
PROBABLE RESULT OF VISIT TO
THE CANAL ZONE.
Matters of Political Administration
Rather Than Engineering Prob
.ems Are Likely to Have
Interested Him There.

Mr.. Tafts visit to the Isthmus OF
Panama is likely TO be more fruitful as
regards the general administration
there than with reference to the engi-
neering problems of the canal. Dis
patches inform us that he has made a
personal inspection" of the Gatun
dam, but the country has been mis-
taken in Mr.. Taft if he is one of those
who profess expert knowledge upon
every subject, and are ready to pass
judgment, by intuition, upon matters
on which professional judgment hest
tates.
1t is we'll worth while for Mr. Taft
to familiarize himself with the general
conditions surrounding this great work
and with the activities of the men con-
Quoting it, but that he can learn any
thing of value about the stability of
the Gatun dam by looking at it is
scarcely conceivable. The real import
ance of his present expedition will de-
pend upon the use which the engi-
neers accompanying him shall make
of their opportunities for close OBJ
servation. Even with them, the prob
lens involved are matters of calcula-
ton, based upon scientific reports,
and not upon superficial view
The most that the country hopes for
at this time is that the engineers con-
clusions shall be complete, convincing
and final, and that they shall then be
adopted and acted upon. In matters
of political administration on the
canal zone there is evidently need of
much adjustment, for which Mr.. Taft
himself is peculiarly qualified. The
construction of the canal is one of the
many large responsibilities to which
he is shortly to succeed, and his pa
tience and tact and his recognition of
the value of sound counsel have much
to do with the general confidence in
his success. If these qualities had
been brought to bear earlier, ii is
possible that the work would now be
on firmer basis.

DEATH OF A NOTED REDSKlN
Geronimo, the Apache Chief Passes
Away at Fort Sill, OkIa.-Was
SO Years of Age.

Lawton, Okla. Geronimo, the
noted Indian chief, died yester-
day at Fort Sill, where he had been
a prisoner of war for a number of
years. He was Sc years old.
1t is a curious coincidence that
news of Geronimos death was sent
out from Lawton, which was named
after the late Mai. Gen. Henry F.
Lawton, who, as lieutenant in Gen.
Miles command. led the 3,000-mile
chase that resulted in the Apache
chiefs surrender. The chase was be-
gun in January, 1885. but the capture
of Geronimo and his band was not
made until nearly two years later.
It was declared at the time of his
capture that he had more murders to
his credit than any living Indian. He
volunteered to head band of Apache
scouts during the Spanish American
war, but his offer was declined. How
ever, he was allowed to attend the ST.
Louis exposition, and his last public
appearance was at President Roose-
velt's inauguration, when he rode in
the parade with five other Indian
chiefs.

1t has often been remarked when
fines were assessed against large COM
mercial institutions for what were for
merly regarded as conventional vio-
lations of the law that they meant no
particular hardship to the objects of
such penalties. What" It has been
the custom to inquire, do even very
large fines against a corporation like
the Standard Oil Company Signify to
corporation Of its vast wealth. Well,
they signify a very great deal, and
quite as much to an institution with a
lust for money, such as the Standard
possesses, as to corporations of much
less magnitude. Every fine that is
made to hold against corporation
that sets at defiance the requirements
of the law augments the lthority of
the community, the state or the gov
ernment; and no portent of the regen-
Grafton of business Oh the lines OF de-
cency and morality is so cheering and

straint of competition stick against
corporations that formerly pursued
these policies with none to molest or
to make afraid.-Kansas City Times.
