THE FALL OF JUAREz.

New York World We regret TO report
after an inspection Of a full-length portrait,
that the commander of the regular Next
can forces at Juarez is bow-legged.
Kansas City Times: Now that Juarez has
fallen the public is willing 10 put its name
alongside Babylon, Carthage, Nineveh and
Tyre, and pass on to the next picture.
Indianapolis News: Then, too, after the
Mexican rebels have captured all the towns
along the border, the innocent byssanding
business will be much safer IL not so ex-
citing.
Kansas City Star: General Francisco L.
Madero, as provisional president Of Mexico,
has appointed a cabinet in which Gustavo
Madero is minister of finance Nothing
like keeping the purse strings in the family
New York World: Only Diaz himself
knows what he means by anarchy" but
IL the absence Of a government that can
enforce its authority implies anarchy, no
other word so we'll describes the state of
Mexico. 1t is not the resignation of Presi-
dent Diaz, but his continuance in office
that spells anarchy. Whatever his achieve
ments in the past. he is now wholly in
capable Of coping with the situation that
confronts his government
Boston Transcript: The taking Of Juarez
by the Mexican insurgents looks like the
doom Of Diaz. Unless all reports are false
there is no force that the president Of
Mexico can rush to the relief of that city
Moreover, this success gives the rebels a
port OF entrance to the United States. Let
US hope that the Mexican government will
recognize the situation and act so as TO
relieve the United States Of disagreeable
task.

Health in Town and Country.

The American Academy of Political
and Social Science has recently pub
lished a volume relating to health
problems, sffording some interesting
comparisons between the healthful-
ness OF people in the city and the
country. The common belief has
been that the country man had all the
advantage of the city man in the mat
ter of health, and when President
Roosevelt set his Country Life COM
mission TO work upon its great mis-
sion OF improving sanitary conditions
in rural districts he provoked some
criticism and much witticism. From
the results Of Investigations disclosed
by the Academy's report we find that
there is not so much difference be-
tween the country and the town in
this one respect, and that in some in
stances the town actually has the ad-
vantage. The Academy's report gives
to the Roosevelt commission credit
for starting this great work. 1t pub
fishes a list Of diseases and their rela-
tive effect in the city and the country,
which affords most instructive con-
trast. Here is the list, showing the
number of deaths from some of the
principal diseases to the 100000 of
population:

STRATEGY OF GRAFTERs.
shady Lawmakers Seek Immunity
Bath in Ohio.
st. Louis Republic

st. Louis Republic.
Perhaps some of those former decisions
rendered by Ohio courts denying the power
of the legislature TO institute Investigations
in some cases and restricting their efficacy
in others may be found to have peculiar
value in an existing complication.
A statute of Ohio provides that those
who give testimony before a legislative
committee OF inquiry shall have an i'm
munity bath. The testimony thus given
under ordinary circumstances, a provision
founded on sound principle 1t makes 1t
easier TO ascertain facts that ought to
come to public knowledge.
But, more than a quorum of the senate
at Columbus being now under suspicion
OF graft practice, that body has passed a
resolution directing that an investigation
shall be started with the express design
of enabling its menaced members TO take
advantage Of the immunity privilege. The
committee, when named. will presumably
hold night-and-day sessions until all guilty
members have been enabled to tell their
story and escape the penitentiary.
If legislative resourcefulness has devised
a more ingenious way in lodging the pur-
suit Of justice, its precise character is not
now recalled. Such ludicrous perversion
OF the purposes of a statute designed 20
serve useful ends would furnish divert
ing incident for a comedy of the Man OF
the Hour" order particularly II the enc
mics OF graft should show as great an
ingenuity in frustrating the aim Of those
who misuse the law.

Our recent Nebraska legislature
created the once of county highway
commissioner for the express purpose
of promoting the good roads move
ment by putting the road work under
competent and central supervision
But the democratic combine that runs
our county board is trying to nullify
the law because the county surveyor,
who in this county is the highway
commissioner, happens to be a repub-
lican. II goes without saying that
experience as a professional civil engi-
neer and rOad-builder should count
more for this work than agility at
political wire-pulling. If the law is
q step in the direction of better roads
it should be given fair trial.

OOUle Oh THESE comparisons are
really remarkable. For instance, the
percentage of deaths from nervous
disorders is much greater in the coun-
try than in the city, where people are
supposed to be so greatly oppressed
by the effects of sedentary life,
whereas in the rural communities they
have the advantage of the open air
and out-of-door pursuits. Likewise
the country leads in accidental deaths,
when 1t might easily be supposed that
the city, surcharged with SO many po-
tential dangers, would lead. The city
has a greater percentage of tubercu-
losis deaths, but the country has far
more OF them in comparison than
might be expected.
1t is probably a fact that, while the
city man has more in the way of I'M
healthfulness with which to contend
he has learned more about protecting
his health than his brother in the
country. Therefore, there is a very
lively need for Just such work as was
instituted by Mr.. Roosevelt.
But it may be asked, why does the
American Academy of Political and
Social Science take up such a prob
lem? Disease has long been recog-
nized as having a psychological side.
II affects crime in very large meas
ure. Therefore, it affects society
from a moral angle and is a matter of
most vital concern to social and polit-
ical scientists.
