pETAlNED?-oR AN ENCORE?

1t may be simply a Washington cor
respondents idle dream for the pur-
pose of filling up space which gave
birth to the story that Roosevelt will
be detained by the defendants in the
criminal libel suit. But it is not so in
frequently the case that the most i'm
probable of things come true, simply
because some humble newspaper man
has happened to give his idea publ
city.
Will the president be enraged,
think you, If the nefarious plan laid
by Mr.. Pulitzer to keep him from be-
ing eaten up by the insects of the
African jungles succeeds? 1t is diff
ncult to guess just what the present
occupant of the white house will
think Of this proceeding. One might
think that if Mr.. Roosevelt were to
be put on the witness stand that he
might find a few words to say which
would gladden. the heart of tired tel
egraph editor on a dull day. Still,
the president has already had the
chance and has used 1t to express
himself on the character and behavior
of Mr. Pulitzer and Mr.. Smith and
their subordinates. The World and
the News did not particularly enjoy
the remarks of Theodore Roosevelt
or is 1t an encore?
Never since the days of San Juan
has the president had the splendid OPP
portunity that he has now. It ought
to appeal to him to make what is
known as a safe get-a-way"-he GER
tainly has the benefit Of his office to
get a safe start but the time is up

A lot of mean things have been

Doubtless many Of them are true.

When all that is mortal Of John d.

in remembrance of him:
He founded the Rockefeller institute
And what is this institute?
1t is a place. an opportunity and a
support for scientific men who can
spend their lives looking for the causes
Of human disease.
Thes. men delve into the experiment
tai sciences day after day. year after
yesr. Their salaries are paid, ard they
have no outside worries. And they
work on regardless Of results. They
are not working for themselves or for
Rockefeller. They are working fer the
human race, and they have q lifetime
to work in.
Thanks to the baldheaded monopo.
list.
Think Of what these institute work.

antitoxin that will cure cancer or a
greater specific for tuberculosis than
tuberculin or the cure for some other
Of the horrible afiiictions Of humanity
They may save the lives Of countless
infants. They may prolong life to dou
bic its present span.
Can you conceive a greater work
save it may be the cure Of mems
souls?
But some may say. Why prolonl
human life or save 1t? Were not RI
cardo and the old political economists
right in saying that war and pesti

No!

That is why the Rockefeller insti
tute is one Of the greatest benefactioni

A Warm Reception.

A member Of congress was going
home late one night when he met a
young man who was satisfactorily
loaded" The congressman happened
to know where the young man lived
and kindly guided him home. The con-
gresham had no sooner pulled the bell
than the door was thrown wide open
and tall, husky woman appeared.
She never said word. but grabbed
the young man by the collar and
shook him till she fairly loosened his
teeth; then into the hall she took him
and slammed the door.
The congressman was descending
the steps when the door was thrown
open second time, and his friend flew
out Of It as IL thrown by a catapult
At the foot Of the stairs he landed.
and the Congressman picked him up.
Very much frightened and considera-
bly, sobered. the young man gasped:
I'VE don't live here! We moved last
week.

II looks like almost all of this en-

A teacher in one Of the public schools
Of Washington was affording the prin-
cipal some information as to the mer-

observation touching one of them:
There is one OF my brightest boys

are wasting their time in idle play.
No doubt he is writing his lessons out

JAPANESE AMlTY.

The muss ont on the coast over the
Japs has subsidized for the present
largely Dire to the efforts of the fed
eral authorities. Any one can see that
the present situation is dangerous
enough to the peace of the countries.
Agitation such as has been recurring
will come back again in the manner
of earthquakes and volcanoes. But is
the coolie and race proposition the
only thing that can stir up trouble?
America still has large holdings in
the Pacific and may have more; and
when the Panama canal gets into the
prominence that is hoped for it, there
will be greater commercial relations
between the two countries We are
not doing'the thing which farsighted
Japan has been busily engaged in
since 1S96-building ships. Since
that time above mentioned the mer-
chant marine of Japan has increased
from nothing to 100000 tons and
with it they have monopolized half
the Pacific trade.
Other people see trouble in the
rapid development of our fleet six
fold since 1SS7-but others have come
to believe that this is a strong rea-
son for the peaceful settlement Of any
dispute. But our splendid navy need
not set us up in our own estimation.
Japan has at least 200 warships actu-
ally in commission and % now build
ing besides flee technically perfect
arsenals
II is to be hoped that all the squab-
bles will be settled as amicably as
possible as they have in the past. A
war would be very serious thing be-
tween the two most vigorous and ac-
tive people OF the world and it will
be well II we remember the things
that Russia had to find out to her
sorrow-that the Japs are not pup
pets and high school cadets. The in
dications are also that Japan has a
wholesome respect for our fleet and
ability. in some directions, also.
