Make 1t Three ColoneIs.

Not for me but for my cause" has been Col
Rooseyelts text in his swing around the circle. A
good many people have read the Colonels speeches
and are still uncertain as to what is his cause The
Chicago Tribune (Progressive) throws some light
on the question. The Colonel passed through the
DanvilIe Cll) district without making any speeches.
but the correspondent of the Tribune, who accom-
panied him, quotes the Colonel as saying: Il would
like to come back to help defeat Uncle Joe" and
the correspondent adds: Progressive party man
ayers do not disguise their ambition to bring about
the defeat OF Uncle Joe Cannon in the Danville
district through the reelection of Representative
Frank T. O'Hair" Col Roosevelt was at the con-
ference of Progressive managers, and dominated it
The Progressives have nominated a candidate for
Congress in the Danvle district but their ambition
is to re-elect the Democratic member, Mr. O'Hair

same as that of President Wilson-Democratic sue

the first aid to the injured for the Democratic party
In Illinois he attacked Roger Sullivan and made
speeches for a Progressive candidate for Senator
but with the ambition that Senator Sherman might
be defeated by the election of Mr. Sullivan

President Wilson has made peace with Col

THE CAUSE OF PELLAGRA.

There is good news regarding pellagra,
the mysteriously enervating disease which
has been under investigation in Europe
and in this country. The Public Health
Service in Washington announces the
discovery that diet is at once the Aause
and cure Of pellag-a, that It is not con-
tagious or infectious. and that cure can
be effected by proper eating within four
weeks The credit for this important
discovery is given TO Surgeon Goldberger,
of the Public Health Service. who, with
Director W. F. Lorenz, Of the Wisconsin
Psychiatric Institute, and several as
sistants, has been at work for some
months in the study of the problem which
this disease has so long afforded Pei
lagra has been much in evidence in our
Southern States, but is more Of a menace
in Europe. where il is prevalent chiefly
among the peasantry, whose food supplies
are meager and limited in variety. II
had been attributed in Italy to the uni
versal use of CornmeaL the slight fer
mentation Of which was regarded as
probably accountable for the disease
This was negatived when peLaSra was
found to exist in countries where corn
was not used. The discovery therefore
that pellagra Is dietary rather than due
to a specific organism Is OF worldwide
interest. and more important still is the
announcement that the disease can be
cured through proper feeding--Spring-

Bankers and Politicians.

Two meetings having in view the same object
relief for the cotton grower-were held yesterday.
In ST. Louis a committee of bankers planned to
raise cotton loan fund of $I5ooooooo subject to
the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury The
sum is to be available to loan on cotton at not to
exceed cents a pound This makes the cotton
crop liquid asset and stabilizes its price. The
amount would be apportioned by the committee
among the banks exactly the New York gold pool
was arranged,
The other meeting held yesterday was in Wash
ingtou before the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee. Those who appeared before it wanted
the government to issue Ssoooooooo in government
notes which the banks would loan on cotton at 10
cents pound One of the witnesses is reported to
have said that there would be revolt in the South
against the Democratic party" if some such plan
was not adopted. -.- ...
The two meetings tell their own story. The one
is founded correct principle and seeks to extend
legitimate aid to the cotton grower. The other
makes the grower an object of charity of the gov
ernment

Fire Prevention DAYS.

October win be Fire Prevention Day in the
State of New York, Gov. Glynn, following custom
Of four years standing, having issued prociama-
ton calling upon the people to observe the day by
doing something toward circumventing the destruc-
tive element which annually costs the State some
thing like Sz4oooooo, 6s per cent of which loss he
asserts is preyentable. The governor perhaps, has
overestimated the amount that might be saved were
every precaution exercised but no one will dispute
that very large proportion of the enormous prop
erty value which is oblterated by the flames in this
country every year could be saved by the intelligent
systematic and unremitting cooperative effort of
the people Fire prevention days throughout the
country might accomplish much. 1t is too early as
yet to determine whether they have been in any
measure effective in New York At least they could
do no harm, and are far more worthy of consider
alton than the great majority of the modern fads.
That the prevention of fires is a subject quite
worthy of serious consideration by the State is sug
gested by Gov G1ynns assertion that the annual loss
to the country by fire is equal to the net yield from
its wheat crop The waste by FIRE in the past thirty
years is almost appalling That the figures are
steadily gaining is of to be expected in view
of the vast increases in property values in the large
cities but to offset this consideration improved fire.
proof construction and improved hre-6ghting meth
DDS must be reckoned with The figures, however,
seem clearly to indicate that little progress has been
made in eliminating or overcoming the causes of
fires In 1884 the loss by FIRE in the United States
amounted in round numbers to SIIooooooo, in 1894
to SI4ooooooo in 1904 to S22zoooooo and last year.
1913 to $22ooooooo In the past decade the smallest
losses were in 1905, $I6syoooooo, and 1909, $751;
10000
Damage wrought by fire, like that resulting from
war. means an irreparable loss to the world. The
careessy tossed cigarette starts blaze that OBJ
lterates what has required years of labor of thou
sands of men to produce. Insurance companies
partially reimburse the owners by giving them
money contributed by others for their protec-
ton from similar disaster. The elimination
tailment of destructive fires would mean that many
millions annually contributed in insurance pre-
miums which eventually go to restore what the
flames have destroyed, could be used in con-
structve enterprises for the benefit of the world.
IT, by precautionary measures, only one-half the
loss to this country by fires could be averted it
would mean an annual saving of an amount in excess
of that which the administration is seeking to
raise by what it terms war tax to meet the deficit
in the national revenues Such a result is worth
trying for, whether by the observance of an annual
fire prevention day or, far better, by doing some
thing every day in the year with the same end in
view

Weapons Of Warfars.

Perhaps the most striking because to the lay mind
least expected feature of the fighting in France has
been the success achieved by the French and English
with the bayonet Its use has had small place in the
curriculum prescribed by Germanys military strate-
gists And as the Kaiser's war machine has been
generally regarded as the most nearly perfect thing
of its kind in the world nonmilitary men at least
have been disposed to accept the German dictum that
as an instrument Of modern warfare the bayonet
was out of date.
Every war teaches its own lessons If cold steel'
had been removed from its old place in military
science it will be restored Concede to all the
other weapons of warfare their full value, and vet
in the hand-t hand fighting that must mark the
supreme crisis the bayonet cannot be dispensed with
As the submarine has proven its worth at sea,
so have aircraft and motor vehicles on land Air
scouting has almost if not entirely eliminated that
heretofore most valuable asset of strategy surprise
As fighting machine neither the aeroplane nor the
drigble has yet proved ITSELF but as eyes for the
armies all types of aircraft have been shown to be
indispensable-New York Herald

Buy Porto Rican Coffee.

The cotton planters not the only producers

is now asking the American people to buy a bag
of her coffee" She raises about fifty million pounds
year, but this country has not been good custo-
mer, seeming to prefer the Brazilian product under
its various names of Mocha, Java, and so FORTH But
the Porto Rican product is said to possess both
fragrance and richness and this would be a good
time to test its merits Not every one can buy
bale of cotton. Even those who can afford it for
the most part would have no use for their acquis-
ton, but people drink more coffee than almost
any other and if they get a satisfactory article

tium for the removal of the tariff on sugar, which
it is feared will seriously impair that industry. if

Fifty years ago today the Confederate
commerce destroyer Florida was cap
tured in the harbor Of Bahia. Brazil, by
the L. S. s. Wachusett, Commander Ma
poleon Collins. and towed to sea as a
prize. with two HraZalian vessels in
pursuit
The FIorida's capture was an open
violation Of BraziTs neutrality. With it
began chapter in the naval records OF
the war that most Americans would
prefer not to find there. Commander
Collins acted on his own initiative and
on the assumption that Brazil would
wink at the ofIense His government
eventually was obliged to make amends
for his act by disavowing It and try
ing him by court-martial. The unpleasant
incident closed. so far as the Florida
was concerned. by that vessel sinking
at her moorings at Hampton Roads,
while in the custody Of the United States,
under circumstances indicating that the
sinking was not the result of an aCcl-
dent The need of returning the ship
to Brazil and turning her over to the
enemy was thus obviated.
Not a single pleasing feature is to
be found in the record of the capture Of
the Florida Although the vessel was
termed a "corsair'' and pirate by the
Federals, she had not violated the rules
Of war. and was entitled, as the ship
Of a duly recognized belligerent, TO the
protection OF neutral ports.
The Florida had arrived at Bahia on
October l. She had last made port in
France, and having been at sea siXty-one
days was in need of minor repairs.
The wachusett was in port at Bahia
when the Florida arrived. This caused
some apprehension on the part of the
Florida's commander, Lieut.. c. NJ. Nor
ris. as he feared violation OF neutrality,
in which his ship would suffer. To quiet
his fears the local governor ordered a
Brazilian corvette to take up a position
between the Wachusett and the Florida.

The belligerent ships lay two days with
the Brazilian ships between them. The
Florida was nearest the shore OF the
three.
On the night OF Oct 81. all being quiet
the commander Of the Florida and four
other officers went ashore to spend the
night. The starboard watch was also
given shore liberty.
On board the Wachusett no one was
allowed ashore. The United States Con-
sui was On board. There was an air Of

WHERE WE GOT DOLLAR SIGN.

The abbreviation "Ps." TO signify
nesos, was the origin OF the Ameri-
can dollar mark according to a Span
ish-American scientist. When America
was first settled. the Dutch and the
Spanish were strong competitors for the
trade Of the world. The word dollar is
but a corruption Of the Dutch 'thaler"
or 'thaller," a coin much used in com
nlerce at that period. and which super
seeded the ''pieces-of-eight'' of Spanish
coinage. The peso or plaster. which was
the Spanish name for the ''pieces-of-
eight" was worth approximately the
same as the thaller. and as the Dutch
name was easier to say, it found place
in our language in the corrupted form.
while the abbreviation for the peso re-
mained as the sole reminder of the Span
ish mintage in our financial records

the convention of postmasters from nearby States
expressed the opinion that ct is not probable that
the people of this country will indorse a sys-
TEN of civil pensions" He failed to give any
reason why he regards the people of the United
States as less humane than those of other civilized
countries, where civil pensions have been paid for
years, or to tell why the United States government
should be less consderate of its superannuated civil
employees than great many of the large corpora
tions of the country He expressed views the oppo-
site of those of several higher officials of the gov
eminent, who are convinced that it would be
economy for the government to make provision for
the retirement of its employees worn out in the
service. ..... -... .-..
