San Francisco. Feb. s.-Methods Of
curing cancer will have to be changed
materially ii the discovery of Prot.
Thomas Powers of 81. Ignatius college,
this city. is put into effect.
Professor Powers has been working
for months on a powerful specific hat
he believes will cure this disease. In
his experiments at 81. Ignatius labora-
tory he has been assisted by Rev. Felix
a.. Rossetti. s. j.. who has taken an
intense interest in professors work
and given him the brnctit Of his large
experience in scientific and medical
research.
Professor Powers is not ready to
give to the public the formula OF his
medicine. Sufficient to say that he
has made successful applications of
the remedy IND that physicians have
been convinced that it is one of the
wonders of latter day medical dis.
coveries. 1t is said 10 upset many Of
the theories of cancerous growth.
After several tests of the cure that
will be made known the staff of
the college department Of surgery
came to the conclusion that one of the
most wonderful discoveries of the age
had come to light. The treatment is
said to be more effective, less in
furious and more solidly based in
medical fact than famous cures that
have worked successfully in Germany
and been introduced to IA limited eX-
tent In the United States.

Governor Wilson is not saying
whether any Of the nominations to his
cabinet r 10 be confirmed or not,
and he intinlates that he may have
some nominations Il make himself.
There is a Lincoln story to the effect
that nee when he was asked for some
favor he said to the applicant: III
see what I can do for YOU. but you
know, I have not a great deal Of in.
fuence with this administration"
Lincoln's remark. like many that he
made. compressed a great deal of
truth into a few words. No president
has ever had a more difficult task than
his. for around him were all sorts Of
interests. and IL his admin.
istration was to accomplish anything
it was necessary for him to yield in
many places in order that he might
keep his forces working together. The
stubborn man never yields; and sell
dom accomrlishes much. The un-
stable man yields everywhere. and ac-
complishes nothing. The wise man
Yields when necessary, and as far as
he must. and gets results.

The old order is changinr in ,1anan

The old order is changing. in Japan
as elsewhere Thinking men in the
eastern kingdom are trying to devise
ways to lift the burden of militarism
which weighs heavily upon the great
army of toilcrs Of Japan. The spirit Of
the Samurai. like the spirit Of fcudal-
ism in Europe in the early centuries.
has had in it much Of lofty idealism.
of the sacrifice of self. and of devotion
to country and duty. But, like the
fcudal system. it has developed much
that is undesirable. and chief Of these
things is the warlike spirit which
thinks ~ a nation in terms of fighting
men. The world is growing away from
that ideal. For every II whose bus.
mess it is to fight there must be sew
eral whose business il is to labor and
suffer in order that the fighting man
must he fed and clothed and armed.
and that his place may be supplied
when he bites the dust. \. nation Of
warriors must also be a nation Of bent
and struggling labcrers. If ill.kept
homes. of poverty. for in such a nation
too much of its productive power is
going TO wsate in the army. That there
is a recognition Of this growing in ia
pan is evidenced by the fact that the
late premier was an advocate of .
complete change in the system. and
an abandonment of the costly military
program which has been held up he.
fore the country as the one thing al
together important. The premier was
unsuccessful in his advocacy of this
policy. bu, there is something worth
noticing in the fact that a man with |
such views had reached the position
of premier of Japan. and that he had
Il sufficient following to make his sus.
gestions Il very real and important is
sue. Before long Japan will be pay
ing moro attention to the welfare Of
her workers and less to plans for the
of her empire and the glori.
of an ancient ideal.

Factory Whistle Is
Declared aNuisance
BY James w. Mcdowell, Cleveland. Ohio

in that factory may be at work at a certain time. The factory whistle has
not place in modern industrial economy.
In the days of small manufacturing, inadequate transportation facili-
ties and expensive watches, when the workmen all lived in the neighbor-
hood of the factory perhaps the factory whistle served a useful purpose,
but. that time has passed.
In these days of quick transportation comparatively few operatives
live close enough to the factory to pay any attention to the whistle, no
matter how long or shrl is the blowing. The modern factory operative
depends upon the accurate time of the watch that he can purchase for
81 or So.
| can discern the purpose of the bell on the farm, but for the life
of me I never could understand why so much Importance was attached
to the factory whistle even in the old days before the era of the electric
trolley car and the dollar watch.
The farmer working out in the field, a long distance from the farm
house, places real dependence on the dinner bell, but that was never the
case with the factory whistle.
Unquestonably, factory whistles blowing must now be placed in the
category of unnecessary noises. l predict the day will come when the
factory whistle will not be heard except to blow the old year out and the
new year in or on the stage.
