To Study Bird Life

A new undertaking OF THE New
York Geological society is the es-
tablishment OF tropical station in
British Guiana, for the study OF the
evolution and life histories OF the
local fauna, especially birds. Money
for the first years WORK OF the sta
ton was supplied by Messrs. Cleve-
land H. Dodge, Mortimer l.. Schin.

fective cause has been found for
each OF large number OF diseases
We speak OF pathogenic micro-or-
ganisms or microbes, or disease
producing organisms which can be
seen only by the aid OF the micro
scope There are other pathogenic
germs which the microscope has as
yet been unable to reveal. These
are termed ultra-microscopic.
Many infectious germs may be
found upon the skin and mucous
membrane and produce no disease
in the individual. In this way the
germs OF diphtheria, pneumonia. In
nuenza and various other pathogenic
micro organisms may be found on
the surface OF the body. They pro-
duce disease only under favorable
conditions, when the bars OF local
or general resistance are let down.

An Intervention Plan

Basing his suggestions on the the
cry that while intervention in Mex
leo by the United States is not so
imminent as some agitators say. II
is yet enough OF a possibility to de
mand discussion, James l.. Slayden.
writing in the American Journal Of
International Law, offers a solution
similar 10 that which the powers
applied to Chinese affairs in 1900. Al
that time the United States and
sUndry European powers got togeth'
or and convinced the Chinese that
it was best for the country to settle
down and attend 70 It's business.
There was no hint that one nation
Vas intervening in order TO further
secret designs on Chinese territory
and because many large powers
were concerned. it was not hard TO
convince China OF this fact. Mr..
Slayden suggests that much OF the
Mexican prejudice against the Unit
Ell States Is simply the heritage OF
a people who have not developed a
spirit OF liberation broad enough TO
pxterminate the ancient dislike OF
the Latin races for their more ag-
gressive northern neighbors. But
the South American nations have ad-
vanced beyond this prejudice. and
1T the same time have lifted them
selves through an orgy OF revolu-
tinns TO place among the respected
selfgoverning nations OF the world
and are we'll liked by the Mexicans.
Among the South American nations
must respected by Mexico are Ar
gentina. Brazil and Chile. the mem
5ers OF the conference held al Mag
ara Falls 10 discuss the Mexican
problem. He suggests that IL these
nations could be induced 10 unite
in a mild form OF intervention hav-
ing as its aim primarily the restora-
ton OF order by show or armed
force and a strong appeal through
diplomatic channels, peace might
again be brought to turbulent Mex
leo without serious bloodshed.

II is one thing TO make a living.
II is quite another TO earn a living.
This is something often overlooked.
The difference consists chiefly in
a mans attitude toward his job.
The man who really earns his liv-
ing Is the man who throws himself
heartily and conscieptiously into
whatever work he undertakes.
He does not regard his work mere
ly as means OF bringing him in
so many dollars every week. He
does not look upon il as something
degrading or uuutterably wearisome
He does not forever keep his eye
on the clock and his ear alert for
the whistle of dismissal.
He is net perpetually wasting en-
ersy in scheming to get through the
days tasks with as little effort as
possible.
His work Is something in which
he takes an honest pride. RE il
thankful that he has work TO do and
that ne is not like other men who
either do not want. or cannot get,
work.
And TO him II is a matter. not sim
ply Of duty. but OF JOY. to do his
work as wsll as he can.

skill, rather than in terms of money.

He will not be troubled by the
and ailments common
TO those who dislike and shlrk their
v ork-ailments often brought on
directly through the lowering OF vi
tality resultant from the depressed
states OF mind.
His medtal state. on the opposite,
is such as 10 stimulate every one

Lawyers 100 Per Cent.

~ Looks Very Much, Then,
As If Hughes Followers
Might Begin the Shouting


After having expressed himself as
dee lighted" with his Detroit reception,
Theodore Roosevelt remarked that there
4 wasn't near as much opposition here to
preparedness as he had expected to find.
And right in the same neck of the
woods William Alden Smith found a
whole lot more of it than he had any
\ idea he would find.
ss We are quite sure that nothing has
happened since the anti-preparedness
Y vote for Henry Ford was piled up to
4 change anybody's mind hereabouts, and
4 w are more than sure that if anything
has happened it was not Theodore Roose-
velt's speeches.
The fact Of the matter is, if the idea
~ to bolster up preparedness and not
Ia help Roosevelt land the nomination in
Chicago, most anybody else could have
come here to do the speaking and got
better results.
Roosevelt is all right when he is here
today. but when he is away tomorrow
/ the very vigor of the way he presents
Vie matter in hand brings on a reaction.
He has always been great man to
NJ people to thinking.
That is why he made such good
B 1kesident and accomplished so much for
fhs country while he WAS president.
He got people to thinking and got
HEM to thinking WITH him.
III II this instance he has been able to
ox0use them just as he always did, but
- thinking AGAINST him.
And not few of them around here
have expressed it as their belief that the
kind Of speaking Roosevelt is doing at
the present time is dangerous.
Roosevelt reminded us that what he
would have to say in Detroit was not to
be connected with his ambition politically
~ Ill, but his admonition seems to have
Had little effect on those who invited him
here.
They have already formed the Roose-
lvelt-for-P President club and organized for
business.
We are, therefore, permitted to reflect
upon some of the Roosevelt side-speeches
while he was in Detroit, in connection
with his candidacy for the presidential
snomination by the Republican party.
He told us the West was awakening
and would be found all right.
The primaries in Oregon, held since
the Colonel was here, prove that what he
said about the West awakening was true.
They prove that Oregon not only is
awakening but is fully awake.

that.
Congress has just threshed out bill
to declare the purpose of the United
States as to the future political status
of the Philippine islands and to provide
more autonomous form of government
for the same.
The Hon. Finis J. Garrett, of Tennes-
see, made plea for the independence of
the Philippines which fell upon deaf
ears.
The majority of congress voted to re-
tain these possessions.
If we must hold these islands we
might begin to provide them with a
foundation upon which TO stand, by first
working out for them simple constitu-
ton, with few ramifications and techni-
calities which would meet all the re-
quirements of simple people
And next we might establish for them
commercial relations with other coun-
tries besides ourselves, so that they
might be in a financial position to take
care of their government.
The Democratic party, champion of
Philippine independence, is conspicuous
by what it is not doing along these lines.
We are the chief gamers by the COM
mercial policy which we have thrust
upon the Philippines.
Their natural markets are Japan,
China and India, whereas, now, Philip
pine trade with the United States ex-
ceeds that which she has with all of the
rest of the world together.
Is this the way to prepare these isl
ands for independence?
1t is like giving the children a weekly
allowance and telling them what to spend
1t for.
Are we conscientiously trying to do
for our curious and, by many, unde-
sired child of adoption what we would
do for our best beloved?
Or are we holding on, cheating our
selves with high sounding phrases about
the necessity of guardianship. protection
and the like, until We are quite certain |
as to what may or may not be exploited
in that land by the ever ready capital
of America?
Would not the open door policy with
every country mean commercial indie
pendence for the Philippines and would
not our stand on this subject be very |
greatly fortified if we practiced what we
preached?
