The report that the American Expo
sition in Berlin, Germany, may be aban-
doned because of hostility displayed by
the manufacturing interests Of the
Kaiser's empire does not do justice to
American determination and courage
If the Exposition is to be an American
affair, those who are in charge of it
should pitch in" and make it a success
so far as the exhibits are concerned. The
German people may be counted on to
give the display respectful and earnest
attention, whatever the German manu-
facturers may do TO discourage attend

burg, West Virginia, where the Pitcairn
Coal Company, an Independent corpora
ton, charges that the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad discriminates against it in the
distribution of ears. When the suit
against the anthracite roads is conclud-
ed, the decision will practically close all
suits of similar nature, as it will
define the status of the common carrier
with regard to competition and com
petitors. But in the meantime the Clarks-
burg case will probably receive atten-
ton at the hands of the Interstate Com

Error of judgment in the location of
habitatiOns on the mountain side, the
result of inexperience, is suggested by
the destruction of twenty-five families
embracing about seyenty-fve persons in
the aggregate, by an avalanche near
Wallace, Idaho. And yet experienced
dwellers in river valleys are repeatedly
caught by floods and made to suffer loss
which could be avoided by location on
higher ground. The excuse for such oc-
currences lies in the fact that with the
main chance in view, humanity becomes
Injured to the risks Of life either on high

The Department of Health of the state
of New York is setting a commendable
example by planning active warfare
against all contagious and infectious dis
eases after the manner in which the cam

perts will assist local health authorities
in educating the people, and organizing
direct effort TO check the ravages of pre-
ventable diseases, many of which Sc
cure foothold through negligence conse-
Quent upon an underestimate of their

and scarlet fever are considered neces-
sary evils; yet the mortality i'll the entire
state of New York from smallpox in
1909 was only four as against more than

other two diseases. There is need III
every state of more systematic and alert
warfare aukinSt typhoid fever. which
makes its appearance annually in many
centers of population in the fall ant
winter months. 1t is dangerous dis
ease, and yet its presence in a neighbor
hood causes little alarm in comparison
with what n single case of smallpox

The declaration by Capt. Larson, the

boatman, that the state fish hatcheries
are simply supplying coarse fish with
food instead of multiplying the better fish
by planting fry, should receive attention
at the hands of the proper authorities. The
Captains suggestion that the fry should
be planted in protected waters may olive
the problem, and confirm the view that
the young fish are now eaten by the
larger ones. 1t does seem reasonable
to expect results Mt this time, as the
hatcheries have been generous with their
paintings for years enough to enable the
young fish to report in quantity and at
food size in the nets of fishermen.

Near the bean patch in the garden,

Climbed up to the point the highest,
Farthest was IL from the bean patch.
Then surveyed he the surroundings.

Babe goodbye to sister, brother,
Looked high up into the heavens.
Then he sat down in the airship.
From the woodland DER the farmland
Came the breeze up to the corn crib.
Came the breeze UP to the airship.
Came the breeze up TO the bean patch,
Lifted up the homemade airship.
Loud adieus up from the ground came.
Loud adieus and kerchiefs waving.
Happy voyage all lips wished him.
AS the airship, from the corn crib.
Lifted slowly toward the heavens;
Slowly, but not surely. lifted
Down the corn cribs side IL drifted.

Lost II and also the airship,
Darted headlong from the corn crib,
All the way in this position
Landed bean first in the bean patch.
