runner For II years after graduating
Prof Lowell practiced law,,but during
this period continued the study of COM
parative government, which had always
Interested him profoundly. He wrote
several books on this subject, becoming
recognized as an authority on the
science of government. and upon the
establishment of the Eaton Professor
ship of the Science of Government
founded by the late Dorman b. Eaton,
of New. York, Lowell was asked 10 ill
that chair. This he did with brilliant
success. Last year he published n work
on the Government of England, which
attracted much attention and led to his
election as President of the American
Political Science Association as success
sor to Mr.. Bryce, the present Embassa-
dor from England to this country, to
whose work, The American Common
wealth." Mr.. Lowelrs has been most
favorabiy compared. Mr.. Lowell seems
to be fitted in every way for the high
and honorable position ne is about to
fill. In addition to his distinguished
mental qualities. he has decided social
gifts. He is public speaker of force
and distinction, and a man of much
charm of manner. Prof. Lowell is
quoted as saying that he considers the
head of Harvard College the most in
fluential office in the United States, and
all Americans in making it so.
A great deal of very serious thought
has been spent on the subject of mar
riage where one Of the contracting par
ties has given unquestioned evidence
of possessing some disease, yet this has
always been felt to be entirely too deli
cate and personal matter for the law
to handle, in spite of the incalculable
harm done the race by leaving it so
entirely to the individual. To legislate
on the subject with absolute justice
would appear to be impossible, because
so many men and women who in youth
show plainly the inheritance of some
disease not infrequently, later on, un-
der favorable conditions. succeed in
freeing their systems entirely of this
poison. To deprive such of the great
est of earthly joys-a happy marriage
would be cruelty and injustice, indeed.
Yet a sympathetic and discriminating
law could do great deal toward miti-
eating or lessening the evil, and the
Oregon Legislature seems to have taken
the lead in this important reform move

The particular branch of philan-
throphy which has appealed most
strongly to Miss Anne Morgan. daugh-
ter of the great financier and
art collector, ]. p. Morgan, relates to
the conditions under which working
men and women perform their labor,
specially those employed in factories.
Some factories where hundreds of men
and women congresate every day Tor
work are frightfully insanitary, and yet
no champion for these unfortunates has
appeared until Miss Morgan and the
little group of women associated with
her called public attention to this fact.
Miss Morgan has recently had an in
teryiew with a delegate of the Cigar
Packers Union, who has arranged TO
take her thu some of the worst of these
factories Never before have so many
prominent women been interested in
social conditions as now. One might
almost say that to take up some
branch of nthropy-something
little out of the common, if possible
and to work seriously at it had become
fad among women of this class. Miss
Morgan is a leading member of the
woman's department of the National
Civic Federation.

American Review. has lately published
an article written by her on "Woman's
Place in the World" which is said to
be exceedingly well expressed, with an
almost masculine touch in the thoro-
ness with which the subject has been
thought out, and in its logical pre-
sentation. Some one suggests that if
the Duchess would write out her ex-
periences as member of London'sl

is, the I'd Pa. Provisional H. A.-went
thru all the campaigns of the Wilder

almost disabled. He is the head of the
firm of c. l.. Knapp & Co, importers

extensive business. He is prominent in
Grand Army matters, and has been
spoken of for Junior Vice Commander
in-Chief and for Commander of the
Department of Kansas. The Depart
ment of Kansas could not do better
than elect him Commander. He is
quite proud of the growing city Of
Leavenworth, as public-spirited man
should be, and has done his share to-
ward the places upbuilding. 1t has
now a population of $1,000 and in

and very fertile agricultural region, is
going extensively into manufactures, for
which it has facilities in the abundant
Supply OF coal fOunQ directly Wltnln the

stove works in the United States. The
manufacture Of vitrified and building
brick. machinery, flour. wagons, etc, is
also quite extensive. The Leavenwcrth
National Home is the second largest in
the country, and is admirably man
aged. In the suburbs of Leavenworth
are the United States and State Penf-
tentiaries and the great military reser-
vation of Fort Leavenworth. This4will
probably be the first brigade post es-
tablished. and it is now the only one
in the United States where all the
arms of the service can be seen. The
extensive railroad connections make
fine facilities for wholesaling and job
bing and this business is fiourishing.

The ancient feminine custom of going
thru the pockets of the natural provid-
er of the family as he lies in blissful
and unconscious slumber may be fol-
lowed by consequences of the most un-
pleasant character. 1t is not pretty
practice even if the poor wife is forced
to it by the stingjness of her lord and
master, and can seldom be really JUS
tilted. According TO the recent decision

Government Files Suit Against Rail-

Vast Tracts of Land.
Alleged That All of Lands Sold to De
PENDANTS Named in Suit Were Sold
In Violation of Terms of the
Land Grant

Portland, Ore.-Another step In the
hight of the federal government to re-
cover possession of the land included
in the immense grant to the Oregon
& California Railroad company was
taken Saturday, when b. ID. Townsend
special assistant to the attorney gen
eral, filed In the federal court In Port
land thirty-five suits in equity against
the Oregon e. California railroad and
Southern Pacific companies, and more
than a hundred other defendants.
These soits were supplementary to
those previously filed against the Har
riman companies, and are for the pur
pose of recovering land included in
the grant and already sold by the rail
roads, or, where title to the land can
not be regained, of securing the gov
eminent all moneys paid for the land
in excess of $3.50 an acre, the price
at which it was stipulated in the origi-
nal grant the land would be sold. Be
sides the railroads, the defendants in
the suits are those who have pur-
chased land from these companies.
The suits involve more than s15,-
100000, and also more than $50, 2SS

1t is alleged in the complaints in the
suits filed that all of the lands sold to

government hopes to make null and
void the deeds and contracts made by
the Oregon & California company to

PACIFIC COAST
IS PROTECTED.
Uncle Sam Ready for the Japanese
if They Come to Our Western
Gateway Hunting Trouble.
San Pedro Harbor, the Vulnerable
Spot of the Pacific Coast, viii be
Prepared to Meet Most For
midable Hostile Invasion.

Washington.-The fact was devel-
oped on Tuesday that the United
States government did not intend to
be caught mapping in the event of an
attack by foreign power which, the
general army staff declared. might be
expected first at San Pedro Some
weeks ago 1t was announced that
General Arthur Murray, chief of ar
tillery had started two mine laying
vessels around the Horn for the Pa
cific upon the way to California
ports.
The emergency plan of defense at
San Pedro is to lay the mines at the
first intimation of the hostile move
ment against the Pacific coast Sim
ultaneousy with this, large num-
Der OF field guns, which have been
selected and are ready for shipment,
were to be sent to San Pedro The
experts say that with the system of
mines already perfected for San
Pedro harbor, it would be impossible
for a fleet to enter the harbor. no
matter how formidable the aggrega-
tion of war vessels. The large num-
Der of field guns would prevent the
entrance OF any smaller craft for the
purpose OF destroying the mines.
In the meantime orders were
placed for rushing number of pow
erful searchlights of the sixty-inch
type and 1t has been closely esti-
mated that these would have been In
stalled within a month If there was
any suspicious movement of an en-
emy's vessels.
The vessels which are coming up
the Pacific coast have not only stores
of mines and torpedoes on board. but
also expert mine layers. One of the
most interesting and Illuminating
features OF these plans is that the
war department officers say that the
government would not have had to
rely on the supplies that are coming
up the coast to California.
Mines and torpedoes of all kinds
are now in large stock upon the Pa
cific coast, and a good defense could
have been put up without the aid OF
the mine laying ships. The scheme
to be perfect, however, could not be
possible without the ships.
One q the star officers was asked
how long a fleet could be kept out OF
San Pedro He said: "At least until
the battleships on this coast reached
the Pacific, and these were to be fol-
lowed in due time by the Atlantic
battleship feet"

REMOVE WRECK OF MAINE.
Sunken BattIeship Serious Menace to
Shipping of Havana Earbor.

ngton.-Governor Magoon, Of
the provisional government of Cuba,
In his annual report to the secretary
of war. made public Sunday, brings to
his attention the wreck of the United
States battleship Maine in Havana
harbor. and recommends that the gov
eminent take immediate steps to ac-
complish its removal without furthef
delay. He says:
'Ths wreck of the Maine continues
to lie in the mud and waters of Ha-
vana harbor. The sunken battleship
is a serious menace to the shipping Of
the harbor. as it occupies a portion of
the best anchorage. The obstruction
has increased annually during the past
ten years by causing a shoal The
moderate tides prevailing In the har
Dor are hardly sufficient to prevent a
gradual filing up, and this shoal Sc
riously interferes with the action OF
the tides, and, therefore, the entire
harbor Is rapidly filling. 1t will be
necessary, liz short time, to begin
dredging In order to provide proper
anchorage for the large amount OF
shipping now entering the harbor, un-
less the wreck is removed. The an
chorage Is also restricted by the wreck
and the shoal, for ships are obliged to
anchor at sufficient distance to pre-
vent grounding in case they strain on
their cables"
