DWIGHT w. MORROW.

In the death of Dwight w Morrow of New Jersey the nation suffers the loss of brilliant dis tinguished citizen He served it faithfully at critical intervals, and always to it's benefit and His end came at the age of 58 when his mental powers were at their zenith and when his future promised achievements surpassing in importance the best accomplishments of his past.
 MT. Morrow had the distinction of attaining eminence in three fields of endeavor any of which exhauss, except in instances the capac- fly of the most richly endowed He attained signal success a lawyer financier and diplomat. After 24 years practice before the New York bar. he severed connection with one of the leading law firms to associate himself partner with the banking house of J. P Morgan & Co., He remained with it 13 years-the period including the momentous days of the World War in which the firm took a more active monetary part than any other private institution He retired from business to become Am bassador and plenepotentiary to Mexico at time when relations between that nation and the United States strained to the point of rupturng over the fiscal obligations and anti-alien land legislation of the Southern republic and when border outrages by its lawless elements and the religious policies of it's Government mperied the safety and aroused the resentment of numerous residents of this country.
 MT. Morrow's triumph in composing all differ ences between Mexico and the United States and in restoring friendly feelings between not only the governments but also the peoples of the two re- publics made of him commandng figure He was urged to solicit political honors He nom mated by New Jersey Republicans for the United States Senate. Undoubtedly, he the only member of the party in the commonwealth last year of sufficient strength to defeat the Democratic aspirant.
 Great expectations entertained of MT. Mor TOW in the Senate, where his diversity of talents and independence of character would have been afforded greater opportunity of promoting public welfare than they had hitherto enjoyed in any post mission

 The business session of the Par Teacher Association opene d with roll call. President Kirkham announced that Miss Fraser's room has won the attendance prize fo1 the last regular meeting. A com munication from Jahn Dunn, Ju- neau, suggested that the February CT March meeting be turned over to patriotic program in celebra- tion Of the 200tl1 Anniversary of George Washington.

The Cause of Colds.
(Manchestsr Guardian.

The inability of doctors to cure or even to eX- plain the common colds has long sapped the lay mans faith in the medical profession long step towards removing this reproach has been taken by Professor A. R. Dochez, of Columbia University New York and his coaborators. Their experiments, which are described in the current number of the Lancet" show beyond doubt that the cold is caused by virus small enough to pass through any filter and to elude the power of any microscope and that the ordinary bacteria which have shared the blame for colds in the past in fact present only as camp followers of the true virus Professor Dochez succeeded in cutivatng the cold virus and in pro- ducing typical colds both in chimpanzees and in human beings with it. To have discovered the cul- brit is not of course the same thing as to nave outwitted him. But it is the indispensable frst step If the cold virus be isolated and cu- tvated it's habits be studied and methods evolved either of attacking the virus itself or of counteracting it's evil effects That does not mean magical cure which have only to swallow or sniff to be free of colds forever. Our strongest weapon against colds will continue to be- as against most infectious disease, to take reasonable precau- tions against distributing them If infectious persons could isolate themselves for the first few days of their colds we should make good progress towards the control of colds, even without Knowing Just what the cause of colds may be. Now that Professor Dcchez has explored the cause it should be possible to devise more specific and effectual precautions But it will still rest with snuffers and sneezers to carry them out.

Prevailing Economic Con- ditions Are Discussed
 by Attorney General

Attorney-General John Rustgard chose Financial Depression" as the subject of his address before the Dou a S Parent-Teacher Associa- ton last night. MT. Rustgard said that in the world today there is more food than can be sold or consumed. Five hundred throusand bags of coffee were thrown over board in Brazil because there was no market for it. There are five or six millions of persons in the United States alone who haven't enough to eat or much to wear Why should people be hungry with SO much food and going in rags with so much material for cloth ng? This question has puzzled men through the ages and has never been solved, MT Rustgard declared
 He continued: Humanity is di- vided into two classes-those who have and those who haven't. Men are constantly perfecting inventions 0 make Ia bor more productive; wages have been quaTrunlce.
 Poor still With Us
 But the poor are still with us and the rich are getting richer. Three -fourths of the wealth in the United States belongs to per cent of the population; one fourth of the wealth belongs to the other 97 per cent. What can be the req son?"
