can run through a whole army, IS was
 the case in the Santiago experience.
 Happily conditions in Vera Cruz arc
 favorable to a minimizing of the ail-
 ment. In 1898 the medical corps had
 had no experience with tropical mala-
 ria. Now the doctors can drive it out of the system by heroic doses of qui- nine and restorative treatment. but,
 what is more important, they know how to war successfully upon anophe- les. At the present time this mosquito may be the rule and not the excep- tion in Vera Cruz; but a month hence. what with casting a film of petroleum over every sheet of standing water and rigorous enforcement of sanitary ordinances throughout the city, there will be comparatively few of the pests abroad Major F. M. Hartsack of the corps with the cooperation of Dr. A. NJ. Guteras O the public health service may be trusted to give anophe- les no quarter, and there will be such a cleaning up and disinfecting of Vera cruz as 1t has never known before.
 It must be borne in mind that the American army is not now in the field, so that it is possible to keep the men under constant surveillance and com pei them to take care of themselves. In the city proper malaria can be held in check, and while there is unavoid- able risk of infection in outpost duty, this can be lessened by giving the men short tours To exterminate ano- pheles from the surf line to the water works and Tejera is mpracticable. The army. therefore, cannot escape malaria in it's present quarters. Such being the case, would 1t not be wise to send back to the states from time to time those officers and enlisted men who are badly infected and replace them with new drafts? Malaria, we are sure, will not make serious inroads upon the health of the army at Vera Cruz, but it Is sound military policy to keep the effective strength as near maximum as possible.

Wealth and Office

Addressing the Royal Institution in London, Ambassador Walter Hines Page opposed the view that democracy in America is in danger of becoming plutocratic by "surrendering the politi- cal power to the organized rich"
 Said MT. Page, "So far from the truth is this that democracy lately has shown itself less than fair to the rich, who are easily subjected to suspicion among us. The fact that a man is rich gives him no help toward public ad- vancement. Among our very richest men there is hardly one that could be elected to the humblest public office ?
 His statement that the rich "are easily subjected to suspicion among ps" is amply proved by the frequency icf the question, "Where did you get itW That the mere possession of wealth bars man from holding of flee ih this country, or. makes it diff ficult for him to be elected, is debata- ble. The prevailing impression is that most men who run for office arc prompted to do so by desire fol s'emoluments," and the rich man does not run because he has no desire tC feed out of the public trough anc makes vastly more money in business than he could ever hope to make by adopting political career.

All these papers, instead of being, as the mother thought, for a separation, were in reality papers which would prove that Flack was divorced. Hacks affinity and sisters were persuaded 10 sign the docu- ments as witnesses.
 So utterly repeling was the case that Golf said to young FlacK: You betrayed the mother that bore you. You were to protect her in the proceedings but instead you left her in the position that if your father had pleased wnen he had gone across the line to some other state he could have cast her off without one penny, and she would nave had nothing to appeal to in the law You were faith less to your mother" The case was then adjourned till Monday, March S1.
 The case was again taken up on that day, and ex-Judge Russell, for the de- fense, spoke with such eloquence and emotion that the ex-Sheriff and Meeks bent their gray heads over the table and the younger man west. The jury then brought in verdict of guilty, adding to that of the elder Flack recommenda- tion for mercy. This Justice Barrett could not see in the light of the jurors, but considering the humiliation of Flack and the request of 10 of the jurors to inn pose only fine. as he himself quoted: T trust that you will believe that the pun ishment that l now impose Is merciful. sentence you to incarceration in the city prison for period of two months and fine of $500"
 Meeks was then called, but as, in the trial. he had taken all the blame and tried to clear the Flacks, he received the short sentence of one month in the county jail and fine of $500.
 With Will Flack, Justice Barrett was not disposed to be so lenient In summing up he made a tinging speech against the youngest conspirator: You are sentenced to the penitntiary for four months and are to pay fine of $5o0.-
 So ended one of the most unique cases of it's kind that has ever been heard in America.

JAPAN MODELLING

Dr.. SdtO Tells of His COun-
ty'S Development.

Washington. - DR. Shosuke SatO,
president of the Tohoku Imperial uni
Versity and che of the representative
men in the new Japan. is in America.
DIR. Sato came to the United States to
lecture at fifteen American colleges as
an exchange professor for the Carne-
gle Foundation For World Peace. He
was Il classmate of Woodrow Wilson
at Johns Hopkins university.
Present day education in Japan is
largely shaped upon American lines.
according TO DR. Sato, and Americans
had a great deal to do with the changes
that were made some years ago in the
common school system. Dr. Sato is u
Christian. and he says that the opposi-
ton to Christianity which was former
ly encountered in the Japanese empire
has now died away. Modern educa-
ton has caused many young japanese
to lose the faith of their forefatherS,
and they feel the need of a religion.
Therefore Christianity is being stud
led, and many are embracing that
creed.
Il may tell you that we now have
a fine system of common school educa.
ton in Japan. According TO the latest
statistics. we have 25,9l0 elementary
schools, in which are employed 152,01l
teachers. and the pupils in these
schools number G.S61,7l That means
