PLANS STOLEN.

Notwithstanding the assurance of navy
officials that the theft of plans of the
dreadnaught Philadelphia are relatively
of small Importance, the announcement
that plans have been stolen is rather dis
quieting. If the plans have been stolen
it is quite likely they were intended for
sale to some foreign power interested in
knowing the structural details of Amer
lean battleships. 1t is, perhaps, true
that thefts of that kind are going on all
the time, among all the nations. In all
lands their are, unfortunately, traitors
who would betray the secrets of the ma
ton for money. Let us hope indeed that
in this case the plans secured by the
thief or thieves are unimportant. Yet
let us also hope that the thieves in this
case may be caught and may be dealt
with according to law-with the utmost
severity known to the law. This is a
form of criminality for which their can
be no sympathy and no liberation in the
heart of any true American.

STRANGERS WITHIN THE GATE.

For some days now the streets of
Brownsville have been filled with people
of Matamoros, who have fled i'm terror
from their home dreading for themselves
and their children the dangers of an at
tack OH their city. Some of those people
are doubtless well able to care for them
selves from a pecuniary standpoint.
Many are no doubt finding shelter in the
homes of Mexican citizens of Brownsville.
Yet it may be well to suggest that some
organized effort should be made to pro
vide food and shelter for all Corners, both
the wcll-to-dO and the destitute. if there
are any. Perhaps some of our leading
citizens of Mexican birth, might find it
i'll their way to take the matter up. Time
has been when Brownsville people have
fled to MatamOrOs for similar reasons.
Let us extend a cordial welcome to our
~neighbOrs from across the river. and let
us give a helping hand to any that may
need it.

The Jap politician must also keep an
eve upon the masses. just now the

statesmen. How should those poor be

our president is merely trifling with the
situation when he does not summarily
repeal the alien bill and sen the gov

has to deal with conditions hard for us

during blizzard in Nebraska, when
the weather was bitter cold, he per

of all the members of the family was
frozen stiff. The feet of one of the
children were frozen, and although
such fact was apparent to the father
no physician was called in for sixteen
days, when amputation was found to
be necessary and the child died OF
blood poisoning. The defendant was
convicted of manslaughter for GRIM

In affirming the conviction the court
held that for a parent having special
charge of an infant child culpably to

was not intended, and if the parent

The brain cannot work with clear

in changing her food habits, and re-
suits are very interesting:
"A steady diet of rich, greasy foods
such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and

my brain was clouded and dull and
