FUGITIVE LAMA.

The precipitate flight of the Grand
Lama of Thibet from Lhassa to an asy-
lum somewhere in British India marks
the elimination of an epoch in that
part of the world. The beginning of
the end occurred sometime ago when a
British expedition invaded the myster-
and it's Holy City, while the Chinese
government maintained an Indifferent,
if not an approving attitude toward
what a few years earlier would have
been deemed monstrous sacrilege. The
next step was the Dalai Lafa's own act
in making a junketing tour through
China, as a result of which he Invested
himself of the last remains of the divi-
nifty which for ages had hedged him
and his predecessors about After
that there was nothing for it but to
regard Lhassa as any other city and to
replace the obsolete hierarchy of the
lamaseries with the constitutional au-
thority of the Chinese government.
Thus practically ends the story of
Tibet as a laud of impenetrable mys
teries and of sacredotal rue, and of
anamolous status as at once the vas
sal and the suzerain of China. We
may expect it now to be opened to
civilization and to commercial inter
course like the rest of the empire of
which it forms a part.

A bill has been introduced in the
Rhode Island legislature providing for
the establishment of capital punish
ment in that state The bill has been
demanded in consequence of recent
brutal murders. This is a practicar
answer to the sentimentalists who de-
nounce capital punishment, and sup
ports the position that murderers
should not be allowed a monopoly OF
the death penalty.

THE SOUTH POLE DERBY.

The world will watch the coming
race between the American and Eng
at the south pole with something of the
breathless interest that a hushed
grandstand might take in the neck
and-neck duel down the homestretch
of two mighty thoroughbred horses in
some great contest of the turf In all
history the rivalry of the nations in eX-
ploration never yet has shown itself in
contest that so nearly fulfills all the
conditions of a genuine race.

The condition of Paris shows one of
the triumphs of modern science. 1t is
in healthy condition, the sanitary
precautions taken to prevent an cpl
demic being successful. In former
times such disasters were followed by
plaques which ran their course, lack
of knowledge of the times ascribing
perfectly natural conditions to vista
tions of Providence to be endured as
punishment. Now the very fact OF
such epidemics gaining Roadway is
regarded as a crime.

HEREDiTY AND GENIUS.

Prof Wilhelm OSWALD, an eminent
German scientist declares that gen
ius is an accident of nature" He de-
MES that great talent or conspicuous
ability is hereditary-at least. in any
marked or conclusive degree.
The truth is, genius is a term of
very great elasticity. 1t is relative,
and so it means one thing here and an
other thing yonder. One man is
another at mechanical work, another
at picking pockets. If it means apt
ness. it is the handmaiden of practice
generally; if it mean power and ability
successfully applied to the accomplish
ment Of wonderful and helpful things,
it is the slave of hard work and rigid
attention to the same-nothing more or
less.
Genius never accomplished anything
much in this world merely because of
its existence herein. 1t is like a grand
piano-pregnant with magnificent pos
sibility in the hands of one who has
learned through years of toll and appli-
cation how to get the soul-inspiring
music out of it, but a useless thing, in
deed, in the hands Of one who knows
it not. Not that the man who knows it
not, moreover, may not himself be
able to get startling results from sub
tie manipulation of a handsaw and a
file The basic principle underlying
both is the same-identically Genius
is not within the piano, nor yet within
the handsaW and the file. They are
instruments through which it may be
made manifest.

A Pennsylvania woman who OBJ
tanned a divorce in Dakota is trying
to gain another in her own state. This
sort of domestic tangle and uncer-
tainty of legal relations will continue
as long as one state can nullify the
provisions of another. There should
be federal regulation of divorce, in
which no one state should be permitted
to reap a revenue harvest at the ex-
pense of others.

HAZING AND HAZING.

The United States senate has pass
ed bin which provides that the su-
perintendent of the United States
Military Academy shall prescribe reg
ulations to stop the practice of haz-
ing. The measure in effect gives the
commanding officer of the school at
West Point the right to take largely
into his own hands the infliction of
pains and penalties for infractions of
the rules against the "deviling" of
plebes. A bill of this kind ought to
have been passed by congress years
ago. The chief officer of the military
school. always a graduate of the in
stitution, Is in close touch with cadet
life and he knows how to discrimi-
nate between what is and what Is not
hazing. There is certain kind of
treatment given by upper classmen,
to plebes that is all for the plebes'
good, and no one realizes this more
Ni1 'Ai1h a. 81 ooodec ol1iCer OF the
academy. The difficulty has been
that when complaint has come no civil
liam could be made to believe that the
treatment given the new cadet was
in any way intended for his benefit.
There is a kind of hazing that never
should be allowed at West Point or
at any other institution, and there is
another kind which is of service to
the one hazed and to the army in
which he is to serve. The superin-

\ LONESOME PRINCE ALBERT"


At first glimpse it would seem as If
certain conditions in Lawrence, Kan,
We're most pitiful The aching heart,
the teary eye, the convulsive sobs, are
multiplied by the fact that 200 college
professors are victims of the sad situa-
ton. There is only one Prince Albert
coat in town.
This sartorial poverty was discovered
the other day, when only one could be
rounded up for play by the college
boys which required half a dozen. The
lonely coat, it is pleasant to state, be-
longs to mind instead of muscle. 1t is
the property Of Professor ]. N. Van der
Vries, who states that he has lent IT
so often to professors and public men
that he considers it public property.
When one gets below the surface,
however, feelings are reversed. Instead
of being a saddening poverty this
dearth of Prince Alberts" is fount of
Joy. If there are no frock coats in town
none can be worn and the freedom OF
man from British dominion is expand
ed that much further. At it's best, IL
gives a man a mournful feeling that he
is boxed up in a coffin, and when II
passes into the hands of the vaudevil-
lians, whose delight it is, it expands in
so many directions that it should be
called a King Albert, at the least.

Weather Conditions.

A disturbance passing from the north
Pacific through western Canada since
yesterday has caused light rains in
the Pacific northwest, with southwest
erly gales on the coast and high south
west winds in the interior. A rapid
rise in the barometer is now occurring,
the highest pressure being over south
western Oregon, and has caused a mod
crate fall of temperature over Wash
ington state. Fair weather prevails
over most of the United States and
temperatures are above normal. The
indications are for rain and cooler in
tbs vicinity tonight, and fair weather
Sunday.
