And all time the truth nestled deep in lifes e

And the shame your soul that patience and trust

Mr. MhItman,s stranre necord.


From the Evening Mali.
In scathing language the Court of
Appeals has declared the conduct of
the famous Becker murder trial to be
scandal upon the name of justice.
The same high court, in reversing
the conviction in the Hyde case, de-
clared in effect that even if the de-
PENDANT had committed the acts
charged against him he was guiltless
of any crime.
These two extraordinary cases,
which have cost this city such q
heavy price in money, time and repu-
tation, strongly illustrate some of the
unfortunate results which go with a
public prosecutor inflamed by per-
sonal political ambition.
For a second time, and with a
change in its membership, the highest
judicial tribunal in the State has seri-
ously shaken the confidence of the
people in District Attorney Whitman.
Butter from New Zealand.
From the Indianapolis News.
The appearance of New Zealand
butter on the retail markets of In
dianapolis shows to what straits our
decline in the production of dairy
and beef products has been one of
the factors in the phenomenal in
crease in prices. This burden was
made heavier by a protective tariff,
which practically excluded such food
importations. The reduction of duties
has thus made it possible for the
creameries of New Zealand, Siberia,
Australia and Denmark to send but
ter to the United States, and for the
slaughter houses of Australia and
the Argentine to endeavor to make
up the grave deficiency in the meat
trade, The shipment of New Zealand
butter, which has just reached In
point In that distant dominion. 1t
was frozen in Auckland and came
a whole shipload-to the United
States. The cargo was billed to San
Francisco, and at that point a por-
ton was transshipped and sent by
rail to this city.
The wonder is not that butter could
be sent more than 5000 miles by
land and sea and reach its destina-
ton in excellent condition. but that
it could be transported such a long
distance and still be sold at price
lower than the domestic quotation.
Inc New Ledldnu DuIteT is Sdiu w

butter-this season being the New
Zealand summer-and is sweet and
rich to the taste The butter will
bring perhaps few cents less a
pound than the high grade Indiana
creamery, produced within fifty miles
of Indianapolis 1t is estimated that
the cost of transportati ton will aver
age one cent pound from New Zeal |
and to San Francisco, and two cents
pound from San Francisco to In |
dianapolis, overland freight being |
much higher than water freight. If
the present shipment is well received |
1t is probable that Indianapolis will |
continue to have shipments from
New Zealand.
The New Zealand sample contained
much less salt than the average
American butter of the same scoring. |
And yet the New Zealand butter |
kept fresh during it's prolonged jour |
ney. We must increase our output |
il we are to become independent once
more of foreign producers. Much of
the native product must be improved
in quality.

Power from the Sun.

rum lht IAutDthutHl
All power comes ultimately from the
sun: it is merely a question whether
we shall use up the petrified energy of
coal and oil or catch the sun rays as
they come. We have been living on
our capital so long and so extrava-
gantly that it is beginning to run low,
so it is time we devoted some atten-
ton to contriving ways to live on our
income. Sun power converted to
water power is the most obvious.
Countries with steep mountains and
high rainfall will in the coming CEN
fury enjoy the same advantages as
countries with coal fields have in the
past. Norway is planning to discard
the steam locomotive and run all it's
railroads by electricity drawn from it's
waterfalls by means of turbines. The
government already owns water
power enough for nearly all the rail-
roads of the West and South, and the
installation cost of the hydro electric
system is estimated at only s12,OOO,000.
The power itself will, of course cost
nothing, for it is merely waste water.

Publicity and Medicine.

Publicity and Medicine.
From the New York Times
Rarely has a contrast of more Curl
GUS interest been presented than that
between our County Medical Society,
gravely listening to a fierce denun-
citation of one of it's members and
ordering him to what is in effect a
trial for his professional life, because
he had let the public know something
about an improved treatment of tu-
berculosis, and the action taken in
Chicago by that very important part
of the American Medical Association
its council on health and public in
struction.
In the one case the effort made in
the name of medical ethics" is to
compel doctors carefully to maintain
the attitude they assumed in the mid
die ages, when their art was "mys-
terry" and their mental attitude that
of men with knowledge not only un-
possessed by the uninitiate, but quite
incomprehensible to them. The more
progressive, and it Is to be hoped
more representative, body took a di-
rectly contrary position. 1t declared
that the public had been left too long
with little information on medical
matters except what 1t received from
quacks and nostrum vendors, and that
with i'll grace did the doctors who
preserved the old fear or horror of
publicity" complain about inappre-
citation and the public's ignorance.
The council even went so far as to
condemn the carrying of antagonism
to advertisement" so far as to de-
prive the physician of the rewards
properly due to him for superior or
original work. Instead of insisting
that medical discoveries should be
nowhere except in the
medical journals, the council frank
ly recognized not only the right of
lay papers to this sort of information.
but the enormous service they could
render by presenting it promptly and
to their larger audience
An audience, by the way, which in
cludes all the doctors, and that is
more than can be said for the medical
journals.

the same, if on February the skies
had been cloudy, to prevent the
grounding from seeing his shadow.
But the coincidence stands, neverthe-
less, and it cannot fail to strengthen
belief in the verify of the prophecy.
In point of fact, February has come
to be virtually the winter month in
washington, with rare preliminaries
in January and an occasional flare

six weeks will cover the average sea-
son of bad weather here, and during
the remainder of the winter" of the
almanac the temperatures are moder-
ate and the streets are free of snow
a condition which gives great joy to
all but the Juveniles, who welcome ice
and snow for their own pleasure The
older residents are prone to declare
that the seasons are shifting ana
that no longer do we here experience
the "old- fashioned winter weather.
This is probably not altogether in ac-
cord with scientific fact. but in any
event il is undeniable that in the main
Washington is blessed with a satisfae-
tory winter climate.

NEW YORK, Feb. Eff the son of
Mrs. Joseph Golaski, of Calverton,
Long Island, who was born Wednes-
day, would like to be six feet tall, he
will have to add only four feet to his
present height. If he has ambitions
of weighing 200 pounds, he'll only
have to gain 1874 pounds.
In fact, if he'd care to be a Sam
son, he hasn't so far to go as most
infants. He came into the world with
fifteen and-one- half-inch shoulders.
The circumference of his biceps is the
