Each time the United States has raised its hand and put q stop to the bloodshed in it's incipiency. We have been big brother to Cuba and cuba is profltins by our example and advice and Is coming out of her semi b;,rbarOus state and rapidly taking "n the form uf u rational republican government.
 Cuba Is not yet far enough along with the cure to be out of danger but she is convalecent. She may have T relapse or two. but the doctor Is right here alongside and will pull her through ta ultimate recovery.
 Those other islands that were taken way from thc treatment prescribed by the charlatan auack, Spain. and turned over 10 old doctor Uncle sam one hundred and thirty-eig years experience, are coming along nicely under the treatment. They undoubtedly will ultimately recover from the mal- ady of revolution and bljOdshed that SO long drained the best that was in them and like Cuba they will regain their health and begin to produce nc- cording to their wonderful natural re- sources.

 Now Mexico Is pretty sick. she has had the disease for long time and 1t has considerable of hold on her There are several doctors who arc anxious to try their hand at treat ing the case but Mexico is Uncle Sans patient and professional ctti' quette will not permit the other doc tors to come in unless called for con. sultation by the one handling the case.

Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, OCTOBER g, .s,a

President Wilson Saturday in an address made his views on the ex- isting conditions in Mexico perfectiy clenr. He said that nowhere can government endure which is stained with blood or supported by any thing but the consent of the gov' erned. We say that the president was expressing his views in re- gard to Mexico although he did not specifically mention any coun- try. He could have had no other thought in mind but Mexico and all people who believe in republic as inc proper form ot government must agree with MT. Wilson.
 Hut Mexico has never yet been gov erned by the consent of the people. The people in fact have had mighty little to d" with the government nn- Ger which they live except |" pa! taxes 10 it and to obey the laws un- der penalties which have been bar berous.
 They have had elections in Mexico n few of them. hut they have been farclcnl travesties. The man in power has always been retained in power and there has not beep case where he ever gave mp his position Of proht' for that is what the presidency ih Mexico amounts t". unless hc was killed or driven from the country. The Mexican people have never put a man into the presidency Ly the bal lot and they have never gotten rid of cne by means of the ballot.
 The question is will they be able to do SO now. The most probable answer is that they will not.
 Admitting that the hall"t. and ihcrc fore he consent of the governed. Will have very little to do with the choice of a ruler in Mexico the question thch arises as to to what responsibility. n any. becomes this c"untry's.
 Mir. Wilson says thnt government stained by blooi cannot endure. All Mexican government is stained "S blood. It has been stained ny blood for as long as the history "f the country is known and 1t will continue to be stained by blood until the peo' pie of Mexico are educated out of then present state. which will take several hundred years. or until they come "n' der the restra ming influences of some mower from without themselves.
 For century or more Cuba was moi much better tlian a shambles. The dominating power thcr" was span and spain ruled. m, hy civil laws hui hy the sword. Tho result was revoiu- ton after revolution and the country ran with blood and ,ay half developed
 Finally through combination '' circumstances the Tinted states was fnrcc,l to take hand in Cuban ar fairs and Spain retired {" her own side of tho globe. Under inc dom'n- alton Of the United states Cuba haa been sinsularIy free from blood and ia gradually getting under govern mont that holds iis lIccbsc to govern from the consent of the people.

SUNDAY OPENING rule
POPULAR At MUSEUM
Last Report Shows Many More Visi-
tors Were Registered at New Build
ing Than Previous Year.
COLLECTION SHOWS INCREASE

Figures set forth in the recent re-
port OF the National Museum for the
fiscal year ended July l, 1912, show
conclusiveIy the popularity OF the in
novation which keeps the Museum open
during certain hours on Sundays. The
average number of visitors in the new
building on Sundays during the year
was 1866, as against a weekday aver
age of 693.
The total number OF visitors ad-
mitted to the new Museum. accord
ing TO the report, was 2Sl,SS7 during
the year, a daily average OF 500; TO
the old Museum, 172,lS2, a daily aver
age of 457. On the first day of the
Sunday opening the attendance
reached the exceptional figure OF ,467.
The permanent acquisitions for the
year embraced approximately 2SS,O72
specimens. Many valuable pieces were
added to the collection of firearms, in
cluding forty-five rare military mus
kets, rifles, and carbines, of both gov
eminent and private manufacture. The
British East African expedition, of
which Paul ]. Rainey was leader, added
about 3,400 mammals to the collec-
tion, in addition to several hundred
rare birds.

Proposal to Hold West Point-Annap-

daily |, Indorsed.
MATTER UP ON WEDNESDAY

Interest In the outcome of the "get
resentatives OF West Point and An
napolis, here next -nesday, is not
confined to the officers OF both arms OF
the service, but is shared by nearly every
person in Washington.
Upon the amiable settlement OF the
various differences existing between the
two institutions, depends the National
Capitals chances OF being the scene Of
the next gridlron battle between the
future generals and admirals. Unless it
is agreed to forget the past and begin
anew there will be no game this year.
Every man. woman, and child in Wash
imgton. is in hopes that all differences
will be settled and feel that If an agree
ment is reached that the National Cap
ital will be the scene OF the game.
Definite plans for making an effort
to bring the game here cannot be made
until it first has been decided If there
is to be a game. There is a general
feeling among the old graduates that
the schools will bury the hatchet. Upon
this general belief that the present
clouds will be dispelled they are quietly
at work to bring the game here. The
officers Of both branches of the service
and the civilian officials of both the
War and Navy Departments are almost
unanimously in favor OF playing the
game here. They feel that the game is
national in its character. and that it is
only fitting that it should be played in
this city.
Announcement has been made that the
commercial and civic bodies are contem-
plating holding special meetings to eX-
tend a formal invitation TO the repre-
sentatives who meet here Wednesday.
Several active workers are busily en-
gagged in making an invoice of Wash
ington's advantages and TO be prepared
to answer any objections that might be
raised to playing the game here.
Already the objection has been raised
that there is no suitable place in WASH
ington where the vast throng that at
tends the game can be accommodated.
officials of both arms of the service de-
clare that the vast grounds in the White
House Elllpse would be an ideal place
to hold the game. They assert that
temporary stands, seating thousands
more than the stands on Franklin Field
in Philadelphia, where the games have
been played in the past, easily can be
erected and with little expense.
Both official and business Washington
are anXiOusly awaiting the outcome of
the meeting Wednesday. The meeting
will be attended by Secretary OF the
Navy Daniels and Secretary OF War Gar
rison, and the general sentiment among
those in close touch with the situation is
that an understanding will be reached.

Death from Mercury Most
Terrible, Say Physicians

friends he was ready to go, has wrought
a bad effect all over the country. Persons
contemplating self destruction imagined
that death by bichloride of mercury was
easy; that no pain accompanied the end.
But a different story is told by DR..
Harry Lewis, superintendent OF Emer-
gency Hospital, where more than a dozen
such poison cases have been handled
since Walker died at Macon.
Physicians in Washington believe
Walkers death was made easy by the
use Of opiates, but even with that the
man bore terrible suffering lightly to
spare his wife and friends.
DR.. Lewis says that persons who die
from mercury poisoning suffer agonies.
Bichloride Of mercury poison simply eats
away the inner organs. The stomach
decays, the kidneys and intestines are
slowly destroyed.
1T is a slow, lingering death. Once
this poison gets its grip there is no
chance" says DR.. Lewis. Persons read
ing the story sent out from Macon about
Walker dying an easy death naturally
have formed such an impression. Please
say for the benefit of humanity that
death from mercury poisoning is most
horrible one"
DR.. Lewis at Casualty Hospital, where
more than dozen such cases have
been treated since the Walker case was
described, also says death by bichloride
of mercury poisoning is about as horrible
a way of self destruction as possible for
a man to select
Physicians at different hospitals about
the city and also the police believe that
the majority of mercury poisoning cases
in Washington recently resulted because
persons contemplating suicide thought
this way the easiest way to end their
troubles.

CLAF[IN ATTACKS
CARAWAY PLANS
District Delegate Chairman
Opposes Passage Of Ar
kansan's Measure.
PRESENT TAX EQUITABLE
People Should Be Granted Franchise
and Other Steps Then Should
Be Taken.
PRESENT TAX EQUITABLE

The bill introduced in the House last
Friday by Representative Thaddeus II.
Caraway Of Arkansas, member OF the
District Committee, providing for the
abolition OF the half-and-half principle Is
applied to the finances OF the local NUM-
cipal government, has aroused the op
position Of the District Delegate Associ-
alton. Every effort will be made by the
organization to bring about the defeat OF
the measure.
Roy C. CIaflin, chairman OF the assocIa-
ton, said last night there was no logical
necessity for abolishing the half-and-haIf
principle, and denied the assertion OF
Representative Caraway that the people
of the District are dissatisfied with the
present arrangement
Sentiment ASninst Change.
"If Mr.. Caraway would make q
thorough canvass OF the sentiment OF the
country at large" said Mr.. Clafiin, he
would find that the sentiment is strongly
in favor OF the present half-and-half ar
rangement OF dividing the expenses be-
tween the Federal and local governments.
The American people are proud OF their
capital, and ara willing and anxious TO
stand their share of its upkeep, and they
would protest to lose that opportunity"
II agree with Mr.. Caraway," continued
MT. SldlllIl, lHdl inc tASANi9C Va NAS
franchise by the people Of the District of
Columbia would be a good thing. II
would increase civic pride. and be bene-
fetal in many other ways. The denying
of the vote TO the citizens OF the District
is a failure to recognize the equity and
the efficiency OF the fundamental princi-
pies Of American government.
MIR. Caraway says the people OF the
District should be required to pay their
own taxes and bear the burdens incident
to their own government As a matter OF
fact the people OF the District do pay
as much taxes as the people OF other
cities, and We pay more taxes than
thousands Of other cities.
"UncIe sam" should Help.
THE Federal government owns and
controls approximately one-haf Of the
property OF the District OF Columbia, and
since this is primarily a Federal city.
why should not Uncle Sam be willing and
patriotic enough 10 do his part in main
tanning It?
I'm my opinion Mr.. CarawsFs bill
tackles the problem at the wrong end. 1t
is not desirable or safe TO make a radi-
cal change suddenly. The people of the
District could be granted the franchise
first by electing a delegate to Congress.
which would involve no change whFever
in the local government, but would merely
add a much needed office.
Gradually other steps could be taken
by Congress, looking toward the popu-
of the local government without
eIecting the Organic Act of
1873"

BY j. STUART PRICE.

Persons who in the future decide to
kill themselves by the bichloride Of mer-
curry route perhaps would not do so If
they knew that death by this manner
is one of the most painful known to
medicine.
Within the last two months more than
twenty persons in this city have taken
mercury with suicidal intent. Some have
been fortunate enough to recover. Others
died horrible deaths.
The celebrated Walker case at Macon,
Ga, where a young banker died as the
result of taking mercury by mistake for
asperin, created a wrong impression in
the minds of would-be suicides. A story,
of how Walker, in the face of death,
showed no pain and told his wife and

BANKERS ASSOCIATION
WILL BE ENTERTAINED
Preparations Made at "The Hub" to
Show Washington Financiers
Historic Points.

In the preparations of the enter
tainment program for the thirty ninth
annual convention OF the American
Bankers Association, In Boston, oc-
tober to 10, which several WASH
ington bankers and their wives will
attend, a guiding thought has been the
comfort and entertainment OF the
ladies.
Beginning Monday morning, October
6, not less than 100 automobiles will
be in service during four days for
taking sightseeing parties on trips
through Boston, through the Metro
politan Park system, TO Concord and
Lexington, or along the North Shore
as the guests of the Boston bankers.
Among the points visited will be
the carnival on the Charles River Ba-
sin, the reception, ball and, supper,
the historical meetings in Faneuil Hall,
Old South Westinghouse, Christ Church.
and Kings Chapel, and the concert by
the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
The final event on the program, the
harbor excursion and shore dinner, Is
receiving the most minute attention.
Three steamers will provide plenty of
room.
Orchestras OF ten pieces for each
steamer will combine into band of
thirty pieces to provide music during
the shore dinner. There will be no
buffet on board. The boats will not
leave the shelter of the inner harbor
unless the sea is smooth. The shore
dinner at Nsntasket Beach will be
served as carefully as II IL were being
held in one of the best city hotels.
There will be a committee of Bos-
ton hostesses to greet the visiting
ladies and to see that they have no
dull moments while the delegates are
occupied with business. Teas have
been arranged for them at the Brae
Burn Club and the Brookline Country
Club, and there probably will be
concert in their honor at the New Eng
land Conservatory OF Music.
