fare today and indorsed a broad pro-
gram of social reform.
The Southern churchmen adopted

The provinces Of the church and
the state are separate and one should
not usurp functions OF the other.
These statements are merely given as
an opinion of the committee and not
to define the missions Of the church"
DR.. Stuart r. Oglesby, Atlanta, who
headed the committee, said the recon-
mendations were merely TO instruct
our people within the church on social
problems. We do not intend to go

JAPANESE PROTEST
.UNSEEN0NQUOTAS
Department of State Acts
After Cotton Goods Ex-
ports Increase.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The State Department does not ex-
pect any protest from the japanese
government as a result of the in
crease of duty and the fixing of
quota on Japanese cotton goods. un-
less the Toxic government chooses to
make political capital out of it.
Last year gentleman's agreement
was reached between the two govern
mentS regarding the quantity of cot
ton goods exported from Japan to the
United States For a while it looked
as If the japanese were going to live
up to that agreement.
Warning Sounded.
The quantities exported to the
United States in recent months ex-
ceeded. however. amounts provided in
the agreement to such an extent that
the United States Government drew
the attention of the Japanese Embassy
in Washington to the new situation and
warned the Toxic government that
unless something is done to prevent
the flooding of the American market
with Japanese goods, the import duty
would be raised and quota placed on
such imports.
The japanese Embassy here in
formed the State Department that
while the Japanese government is
aware of the situation. it can do moth
ing to compel the powerful cotton
manufacturers in Japan to live up to
the gentleman's agreement.
Pleads Lack of Control.
The situation was uncontrollable,
the Japanese government declared.
principally because Toxic has no
means to control the re-exports from
a third country. Japanese cotton
manufacturers are sending their goods
outside Japan and they are exported
thence to the United States.
The American Government is salts
fed that the Toxic administration
intends to keep its pledge. but is not
in q position to do So Hence 1t sees
no reason why the Japanese govern
ment should object to a measure of
self-protection within the spirit of the
gentleman's agreement.
or course, it is possible, official
quarters believe, that because of the
growing tension due to Japanese
smuggling in China, Toxic should try
to make capital out of the new
American quota system.

van. Representative Otter, Repub-
lican OF Pennsylvania was absent
when this vote was taken, but he
favored the resembling action later,
with a new decision to be made on
Tuesday
Hoffman Primary Foe.
Lending strength to the determina-
ton of Hoffman that Townsend, and
any others who might subsequently
place themselves in contempt of the
committee, be brought before the
House without delay is the fact that
the Townsend forces are making
strenuous efforts to defeat him in a
September primary. Recourse to
court action, Hoffman feels, probably
would drag settlement of the case
into October or later-by which time
the Michigan Representative might
be beyond all political assistance.
Others are in similar predicaments.
On the other hand, several men,

TYPHOID MARY"

NEW YORK, May 23.-"Typhoid
Mary" Mallon lay critically Ill in

been administered the last rites Of her
church.
Now 66 years old Mary Mallon was
the cook to whom in 1904 physicians
traced recurrent outbreaks of typhoid
fever.
She never actually suffered from
typhoid fever herself and always ap-
peared in robust health, but, doctors
said, she was peculiarly bearer of its
bacilli.
DR.. S. S. Goldwater. commissioner
of hospitals, said she still is listed as

Riverside Hospital.
There were mystifying outbreaks of
typhoid in certain sections of West
chester, Long Island, and other places
shortly after the turn of the century.
Examination of food and water
failed to give clues to the bacilli.
DR.. George Soper, sanitary engi-
neer in the municipal health service,
had learned that a German bac-
teriologist proved some people, i'm
mune themselves to typhoid, carried
the germs.
Tracing the outbreaks, he found that
Typhoid Mary had been the cook in
almost every instance.
He learned, too, that Typhoid Mary,
at the first hint of each illness, became
alarmed and left the family with
which she was working. Unwittingly
she contributed to the spread of the
disease.
Examined in 1907.
In 1907 she was detained and given
her first examination. against her will
She was found to be infected with
billions of bacilli.
She fought to be free. but lost her

been educated enough to prevent her
self being a menace she was freed.

ALASKA SHOWS THE WAY

Incomplete returns from yesterdays general elec- ton in Alaska indicate that the Territory is going to lead the nation in declaring for the Democratic banner. Delegate Anthony J. Dimond at the head of the Democratic ticket appears to be leading the field and if he makes the sort of showing in the other Divisions he did in the First he will be returned to Congress with splendid vote of confidence for his fine efforts in behalf of the Territory.
 The trend is definitely Democratic, but all the Democratic candidates not going to receive any such vote appears to be png up for Delegate Di- mond.
 H. R. Shepard, the Republican candidate for Sena- tor boiled excellent vote in this end of the Divis ion, his home section, and a is on between him and Senator Norman R. Walker although the latter is being given the best of it in the Ketchikan area.
 While it will be days before the complete returns known there is much of qualification to the Demo- cratic party and its candidates in the face of the partial results It reveals that the confidence in Dele gate Dimond not misplaced; that the people of Alaska are cognizant of task well done and that they feel his efforts in their behalf should be carried on. It means Alaska is the march toward develop ment and ultimate statehood

Purely Negative"
(New York Times)

(New York Times
 Few comments of the European press Presi- dent Roosevelt's Chautauqua address on war and peace got into the dispatches Probably most of them were commonplace and pointless. But one sig nificant editorial came from Germany. The Berlin Tageblat resented what it called MT Roosevelts dig at us" The reference probably to those passages in which the President spoke slightngly of those tons which considered themselves the sole keepers of political wisdom and truth Further on however the Tagebatt criticized the entire speech on the ground that it purely negative" Presumably MT Roosevelt did not present defin- comprehensive plan to insure the peace of the world.
 That cannot be had without great many pre- limnary and determined negatives. nation or a ruler setting to head off will have to say many a decided No" Negatives will have to be applied to various leading directly to war. Truly peace loving countries will have to deny themselves the right to meddle in quarres not their own. They will not allow their munitions s-makers and shippers of other supplies to pile up huge profits out of the urgent needs and bloody strife of others. Equally positive will be the No" given to those who nSidi ous but faacous arguments about national honor and dignity.
 The truth is that every sound and reasoned nega- tive implies a definite affirmative When declare ourselves against dictatorship mean that we in tend to stand resoutey by free institutions. When we oppose the competitive building of great armaments the implication is plain that will work for dis armament for arbitration for treaties of peace and
 
 everywhere guarantees of security against the unpro voked attacks of aggressor
 The same line of reasoning is applicable to debates between political parties Negatives are always under stood to be matched by affirmatives. When party denounces eXtravagant spending by the AdmnlStra- ton it virtually pledges itself if placed in power to practice greater economy. When it cries out against local officials who make partisan use of the great relief agencies of the Government and against the debauchng of the civil service, it in effect promises to oppose and correct such evils If it arraignS and condemns things that have been done it really vows that it will not do them itself.
 | With this logic the Republicans might answer men who like Attorney General Cummings charge that they offer constructive policy of their own They would say that lot of destructive criticism be done No denies that before the campaign the Republican party must get before the coun- try the essentials of truly constructive reform But it is sin, meanwhile to expose the faults that have been committed to show the people what is to be avoided in the future No political campaign can be successful if it is purely negative From nega tion it pass to affirmation. That stage o the Republican campaign has not yet been reached.

FARM INCOME GAINS

American farmers received S462,000000 more for products marketed during the first six months of this year than in the like period last year. Cash receipts from sales of farm products amounted to 32000000 during the first half of 1886, compared with S2660 900 in the first six months of 1885 according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics at Washington.
 Tn addition farmers received $169o00000 in gov ernment payments this year but this 40 per cent less than was paid in the first half of 1885.
 Announcing gains ranging from per cent in the South Central States to g per cent in the West North Central States the Bureau said:
 Some groups of products, such meat animals, dairy products and fruits averaged slightly higher in price the first half of this year In general how ever the gain in cash receipts due to the larger quantities of products sold, since the prices of farm products as whole averaged slightly lower this year than last. Consumer purchasing power has greatly improved during the last three years and this fact coupled with the curtailment in supply, makes prospect for generally advancing prices during the coming marketing season.

THE DEMOCRATIC TREND IN

While the returns from Washington State are not complete there are sufficient to reveal that the trend of that state normally Republican is decidedly Democratic Indications that the state is going approximately four to one Democratic
 Former Gov. Roland H. Hartley who led the Re- publican machine for many years in Washington, apparently again that party's choice but his vote is less than third the Democratic poll. Gov Clar- ence D. Martin apparently has captured the Democra- tic nomination his rival, County Commissioner John c. Stevenson of King county who made re- markable in his county, but was no match Martin in the state as whole
 An interesting angle presents itself in the Martin Stevenson race and entirely parallel with the situato in 1882 At that time Martin failed in King county which includes Seattle, but Pierce county which includes Tacoma, and Spokane, gave him sub stantia leads and the election Reports from the state today indicate that the situation prevailed at yesterdays primary. Stevenson apparently is potent political figure in King county but outside of that section he is just another candidate indicating that Seattle against the counties still prevails.
