long and hopeless succession of revolu-
tons, Amurath to Amurath succeeding
in the shape of dictator, sometimes
calling himself President, the govern
ment being essentially military oil
garchy, with the masses of the people
sunk in subsection? That there has
been too much reason for maintaining
this opinion, intelligent and fairminded
South Americans themselves will adj
NIT. But what they are now trying to
make the world understand is the fact
that, behind all the confusion and blood
shed, the changes and the incessant
struggles, there has been, after all, a
movement toward a better state of
things. They call it movement to-
ward a truer democracy Certainly, if
such a thing is afoot In Latin America,
it behooves us in the United States to
give more attention to it than we have
done.
Senior Garcia-Calderon, a very able
writer, in a recently issued book, says
that South American democracy still
has some hard problems, such as the
race, finance, and political questions,
but that he believes they will be solved
in time and that I.atin-American de-

Latin Americans are high strung, and
a bad impression has been created
among them by the administrations at

marks made by Mr.. Roosevelt, which
find expression in La Prensa, of
Buenos Ayres, very influential paper:
Whatever the dominating opinion
may be in the United States, it is evil
dent that the situation created takes its
origin in a mistaken notion as to SOW

leo, which is manifested more or less
frankly, would not exist If there were
in the public opinion of
the great republic of the North a SEN
timent of respect, complete and without
reservations. for the integrity of the
standing of the Latin
American states.

Light Up the City.

New lights for Pennsylvania avenue
will be ready by January Is, and then
a campaign for the better illumination
of F street will be begun. This was
the cheering report made at the recent
meeting of the board of governors of
the Retail Merchants Association.
Washington is far behind most cities
of its size in the illumination of its
downtown streets, and with, no valid
excuse.
This is a subject in which the mer-
chants are certainly vitality interested,
and it is to be hoped that the efforts
of their association, which have already
accomplished results, will be continued
until all the business streets are made
brilliant Washington is justly proud
OF its shops, and can we'll afford a
little extra expense for street lighting.
Besides, the Capital of the nation
ought certainly to try to create a more
favorable impression on visitors who
arrive after dark. Let us dispel the
gloom and give them a radiant well
come when they are yet afar off.
The Retail Merchants Association is
to be congratulated on its efforts.

A Cruel Spert.

There is an almost thrilling interest
in the fight Nor life being made by
Representative Robert G. Bremner, OF
New Jersey, who is undergoing the
radium treatment for cancer in Bal
timore hospital. The prominence and
popularity of the patient serve to at
tract the eyes of the nation to this
particular case in which one of the
greatest and latest discoveries is being
used to combat a disease hitherto prac-
tically incurab1e There are few, if
any. authenticated cases of cure by
radium, and apparently medical sci
entists themselves are eagerly watching
effects and developments in its appli-
cation.
Instructive as was the lecture by DR..
Howard A. Kelly, of Johns Hopkins
Hospital in this city, on Tuesday
night, it left much to speculation. The
outcome of the Bremner case, there
fore, will greatly influence the public
verdict, though scientific study and ex-
pertinent will continue in any event.
Discoveries" in medicine and sur
gerry are the fashion nowadays. We
hear of washing the blood" Injecting
sugar into the veins" or making a
nose of a finger"
irresponsible publicity has raised
false hopes among afflicted and suffer-
ing humanity. Most of these dis
coveries" are never heard of after the
first announcement in newspapers
whose specially is sensation at the ex-
pense of truth. 1t is a cruel sport,
but happily it is still discouraged by
reputable scientists, whose reticence,
when actual progress has been made in
medical discovery, is thus easily ex-
planned.
Every one will rejoice if the cure for
cancer has been found in radium, but
for the present we can only wait and
hope

The Martha Washington Will.

Those patriotic. Virginians, men anc
women, who are seeking to have the
last will and testament of Martha
Washington restored to the archives oil
Fairfax Court House are to be com.
mended for their zeal. If the document
really belongs there-and what little
evidence there is on the subject in
dicates that it does-it should be and
probably will be restored.
The talk of lawsuits and acts of the
Virginia legislature, however, seem
premature. 1t is stated, with some de-
gree of authority, that the will was
stolen from the courthouse during the
civil war and is now in the possession
of Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan, having
been part of his fathers world-fa-
nous collection of relics. A regent of
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton at Falls Church, Va, is said to
have received letter from Mr.. Nor
gans librarian, admitting possession of
the will, but Mr.. Morgan himself,
while declining to make a detailed
statement, intimated that there was
some misunderstanding about the whole
matter
The generous course of the elder
Morgan in restoring the priceless
Ascoli cope is still fresh in the public
mind, as are other similar actions on
his part with regard to relics that had
come into his possession. That the
present head of the house of Morgan
inherited many of the admirable traits
of his father has already been proved,
and should he be in possession of the
Martha Washington will and convinced
that such possession il wrongful, it
would not be difficult to predict what
his course would be. 1t would be no
easy matter to follow the travels of
this priced relic from Fairfax Court
House fifty years ago to the Morgan
collection, If it is there; but no mat
ter how it was acquired it would be
safe to leave the decision as to its
future resting place to Mr. Nor
gan. 1t would at least be only fair
to wait until he makes his position
known before talking of lawsuits.
