A GOOD BILL.

Mr.: Madden, of Illinois, has offered a
bill in Congress to further amend an
act entitled "An Act to regulate CON-
merce,' approved in 1887, that will, if
passed, do away with every jim-crow
system of transportation within the
territorial boundaries of the United
States. 1t has been referred to the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign

to it that it is promptly enacted into

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.


William j. Bryan positively asserts
that the idea in the League of Nations
of "deliberation before war" is taken
from the 80 treaties negotiated by the
United States with three-quarters of
the world. These treaties were writ
ten while Mr.. Bryan was Secretary
of State. So the idea is not, as some
with Mr.. Wilson. However, if this
nation should ever again undertake

our "watchfully waiting" Administra-

When delegates elected by colored

the color line, applied to the State
Department for passports, they were
refused.
BUT, when Irish-Americans asked
for passports for four of their repre-

among the delegates to the Peace
Conference for FREE IRELAND,
which really means interfering with
the internal affairs of Great Britain,
the passports were granted without

SUNLIGHT Not Good Germicide.

Sunlight as germicide proves to be
less efficient and reliable-at least in
temperate regions-than has been COM
monty supposed. In his experiments
in Alglers. NJ. de Laroquette has found
that only prolonged or direct expos
ure TO sunlight destroys bacteria, ano
that its action is chiefly confined to
dry surfaces where the bacteria are
fully deslccated. Bacteria in liquids
are affected only by very intense light.
and this only at slight depth White
light Is more effective than colored,
blue being slightly more powerful than
other colors. Bacteria are chiefly
killed by luminous rays, and ultra-vio-
LEI rays have failed to show the bac-
tericldal action so generally credited
them the ultra-red also being ineffi-
cient. AT best, sunlight acts only at
the surface, while layers of fat or
muscle prevent even the slight ordi-
nary penetration.
