The ea3 ts a wall deserved trttwto tVv I demand for the ballot more pronounced and aensationaL The lack of moral aense displayed ia one of the mot diseouratfnsr symp- I toms of the agitation, which has assumed a phase so dangerous aj to make the livesof the cabinet ministers unsafe. The attempt of two women to set firt to the residence of Lewia Harcourt, aecretary for the colonies, is the most recent and fla-j grant example of the 'desperate and lawless extremes to which the suffragette are going. This incident followed dose, upon the heels of the attack uo Premier Asquith in Dublin. Two Womenr followed the Prime Min-j ister to Ireland with the ayowed intention of blowing him op if an opportunity afforded itself. One of them threw a hatchet at him, but fortunately the missile missed its aim.

The women acknowledged, that it was their intention to blow the premier up In a crowded. Jukll, with an otter disregard of the consequences to others. The women were sentenced to five years penal servitude, which Is much lighter punishment than would have been inflicted on men guilty of the same offense. TVia most spn'oim nf thesa occurrences Is the fanaticism 'of the female desperadoes. They defiantly confessed their crimi-t nal designs, and appeared to think they were engaged in a noble 1 enterprise.

They defended the methods of the anarchist as If they were thoroughly convinced that assassination and arson are worthy expedients to advance the cause of women's rights. Their zeal has transformed them Into furies. Neurotic enthusiasm appears to have deprived them of the power to reason or their ability to distinguish between right and wrong. They are under the same species of exaltation that inspires the Russian terrorists who are unable to see any difference between constituted authority in any form and oppressive tyranny. They have declared war on the government and its agents, and carry it on with a reckless disregard of consequences that is peculiarly feminine.

Many of the most dangerous and determined Eussian terrorists are women. So Ion as the suffragettes confined themselves to "breaking windows, spoiling gowns with chemicals and smashing the hats of cabinet ministers, their antics were viewed with amusement mingled with indignation, but now that they have taken to the bomb and the torch the interest they Inspire has no element of humor. The' sentiment which prompts women of culture to commit deeds so wanton and desperate is a dangerous symptom. It is the primitive response, to the call of the wild. It is fire to the imaginations of disordered or unbalanced minds, and threatens to break forth in flame In the most unexpected places.

GuayaJ has long been one of the worst spots on the South Americas continent; probably the worst of all on the west coast for yellow and malarial fevers and bubonic plague.

Indeed, there is now scanty time for the work of effective sanitation before the opening, even if the task should be undertaken at once.

Much may be done In a single year by a man of Colonel Gorgas'a knowledge and energy; but the work must be maintained at full efficiency for several year before there can be felt the entire assurance of freedom from pestilence which the Isthmus now eDjoya That Colonel GOrgas can do It nobody doubts.

LOTUS JtMRR tn "Hnr.mtCn 1 it 1 Perfectly The Poor Pedestrian's Plaint) Doubtless Perkins was moved by principle when he helped organize the Steel Trust and squeezed the New York Life Insurance Company out of $50,000 for Roosevelt's campaign fund in 1904. It was principle that urged him to assist in the formation of the Harvester Trust, and to threaten the Roosevelt administration with reprisals if the contemplated proceedings against that beneficent corporation were not suspended. Of course Mr. Perkins is a man of principle, but most people spell it principal. He Is also an "angel." QUEEN OF BEAUTY SMOKES The returns from the recall election do not strengthen the belief that the people can always be relied on to go to the polls and' vote the right way.

Here was a question shorn of partisan bias one that closely touched the welfare of every and the prosperity and good name of the city, but nearly fifty per cent of the registered electors failed to vote. A majority of those who went to the polls voted right, but that does not excuse the great body of citizens who did not vote. Their failure to do their duty as citizens made It possible for Mayor Mott and Commissioners Ba6cus and Turner to be recalled by a minority of the dty's vot and even murder to make their Colonel would be left standing at ers. That such a thing didpJhappen Is in no way ascribable to the voters who remained awsryTfrm the polls. They gave the minority an opportunity to turn out the present dty officials and seize the municipal government Vlaeounteaa Curson calmly smoked a oljaretta the othr evening while ha eat on her throne aa the queen I of beauty at the dress rehearsal of the EHtiabethan tournament.

In fact smoking by ladles Is a commonplace in smart society, and It la not confined to the other side of the water.

The cigarette la a refinement and. a delicacy by comparison, but It servea.to reatora more or less of the true his-; torio atmosphere. point Is, do the ladlea wish to restore Elizabethan manners?

But the churchman goes further along the way of sanely viewing the race suicide question than Colonel Roosevelt ever apparently was able to do.

The latter, with his usual head-Iownr horns-displayed attitude, after the manner of a bull moose at bay-or otherwise, snorted a huge snort at race suidde In general and let it go at that Cardinal Gibbons sees, on the other hand, that "a man, is obliged to serve the natural law, which none can violate with impunity." There Is a wide divergence in the scope of the two men's Race suidde, as a sop thrown to social demands or laziness or to cowardice, deserves the retribution that itself so often brings and supplementary stigma among all right thinking per-, ions. When, however, one comes to reason that two children, raised as children should be, must needs prove more' valuable to the world than six children, each given one-third the care it deserves. One of nature's laws, to which the cardinal evidently refers, is that which demands proper nourishment, proper raising and proper support for the child by" its parents. Within the length and breadth of thai law the other, which proclaims against race suidde, has every right to prevail. Without Its confines, the other should rightly be held of no avail This, In brief, la the preachment that the eugenists are so well making.

Better children is their theme. Against more children they raise no cry, but the better children must be the first re LADY I EMPIRE COMEDY FOUR; PAT7LINB MORAN' RORKHT nnuiww iriST ICEIXT a LAFTERTY!
