their only water supply cut on, there
was great suffering among the resi-
dents, who had 10 obtain drinking wa

Manhattan.
For nearly two weeks workmen of
the city's water supply department
labored TO free the main by the accept
ed method Of forcing live steam through
the pipe, but their progress was 50
slow that it was estimated that an
other fortnight at least would be re-
quired to complete the work. Mean
while conditions among the patients in
the hospitals on the island became so
alarming that the health department
began the work of removing them to
other parts of the city.
At this juncture some genius sug-
gested the use of electricity for free
ing the frozen water main, on the the.
DRY that the resistance of the iron pipe
to the passage Of the current would
generate sufficient heat to melt the
ice. The experiment was tried, a cru
rent of 600 amperes was forced through
the pipe and In two days the main was
free Of ice and water was flowing
through as usual.

DR.. wiley's resignation as cher
chemist for the government is re-
gretted by every honest citizen of this
but perhaps the women OF
the nation recognize its significance
more than anybody else.
DIR. Wiley has been very close TO
the home in the work he has done
for US.
He has been perhaps the most
trusted government official OF his
time. We have learned to regard him
as a man who is honest above all
things; who cares nothing for polit-
ical or financial sway except so far as
II may advance the cause of pure
food for all of US, and better condi-
tons in every kitchen in the land.
We know he is a good fighter on
the side of the right. We know that
he has stanchly combated every ef-
fort to coerce him, and that at every
turn he has met the enemy and
fought him openly and to a finish.
Every manufacturer of impure foods,
every corporation head whose product
has been criticised by DR.. Wiley has
exerted his pull" with the higher
ups to Dust this man who told the
truth about their goods.
Yes-the women of our country
have a warm place in their hearts
for DR.. Wiley. He has taught them
and given them so much that was
needed; and as the mothers look
upon their children, whose cheeks
are rounder and roster because there
Is less adulteration in the foods they
eat; as they look upon their men
folk, stronger and clearer of braiI
because they eat more wholesomely
and all largely through the influence
Of this fat little man who insisted
that it is the right of the common
people to get real food when the!

PATENT MONOPOLY.

Chief Justice Whites dissenting

suggestion to congress TO amend the
patent law 10 relieve the nation from
the train OF abuses made possible by

Congress having created patent mo-

That there is need OF amending the
law no thoughtful man. sensible Of the
abuses monopolistic power admits, can

1t is said that DR.. Wiley intends to
be an editor.
He may do much good In such a
] capacity. Publicity means much in
educating the people to a better

large-minded, far-seeing editors, Mr..

1t is the editors who have kept
open the eyes of the people and
taught them much of what they
should demand. without the editors
even DR.. Wiley could not have ac-
complished a great deal, of what he
has done. He furnished the informa-

Balls In Ambition; Suicides.

Chicago, March 25.-Archibald L.
Woodwork, an architect, of 1899
Fulton street, ended his life yester-
day'with a revolver shot. Seated at
a piano in the home which his skill
had enabled him TO design, he was
playing one of his own musical COM
positions when the suicidal mania
overcame him. The defamation from
the shot, a discordant crash of the
piano keys and walls from two wo-
men marked the passing of the man
who had three great ambitions. Tho
women present at the time were his
mother. Mrs. Mary A. Woodwork,
and her mother, a woman IS years
old. Archie considered himself a
sort Of failure in life," said his
mother. He was 80 ambitious. He
wished TO be a great craftsman, a
great architect and a great musician.
He was never satisfied with himself. 4"
Woodwork had been unemployed for
two weeks. He was 40 years old.

CUTTING OFF SUPPLIES.

Senator Root has introduced and
congress has passed a joint resolution
prohibiting the shipment OF arms and
ammunition from this country into
Mexico as long as the disorder there
continues. II was adopted by both
houses without delay.
This action should have been taken
long ago. There can be no doubt that
practically all the munitions of war
used in the recent Mexican uprisings
were obtained in the United States
The Madero government is legally con-
stituted as the result OF the fairest
election Mexico has had in many years,
and President Taft and congress can
not do otherwise than recognize fits au-
thority. Nobody knows better than
Madero where the insurrecto guns and
cartridges come from. and he would
have been justified in demanding of
this country that II cease giving aid
10 the enemies Of the Mexican govern
ment. despite the fact that the NUM-
tons for the successful revolt he led
we're also obtained on this side Of the
border.
Undoubtedly the present revolution
lists win be angered against this coun-
try and they may try to take vengeance
upon Americans who have not needed
the warning to leave Mexican terri
tory. But IL is better to incur that
danger than permit the further devel-
opment OF conditions which threaten
to make armed Intervention by the
United States necessary. as q course
which both Madero and Diaz declare
would cause all Mexicans 20 unite in
resistance TO the invasion.
