A BUSYBODY PREACHES
The famous Fairbanks cocktail is
again beiog made the subject of icucta
discussion back Kast and such a rumpus
has been stirred up through the state
ment of Bishop Berry, of Detroit, that
either President Roosevelt or Secre
tary Loeb, and not Vice President
Fairbanks, must have been responaib'e
for the ordering of cocktai's at the
lunch eou tendered them by Fail-bank*
in Indianapolis, that Secretary Loeb
has felt called upon to issue a formal
denial of any such action at this or any
other luncheon at which they were
guists Likely enough, the good bish
op, who appears to be very much of ac
old woman, will, like a woman con
vinced against her will, be of the same
opinion *till, but this statement will be
sufficient for any others interested io
the vital question of the cocnt.il.
From the hubbub kicked op or r the
commonplace at?*ir, one wou d think
some eleventh commandment bad been
broken, urescribing Thou shalt not
covet. Older, manufacture or drink a
cocktail a: any feast whatsover, espe
cially if thou be in politics or public
life, else shalt thou be everlastingly
lambasted by press and pulpit." It
really would appear that too much ad
vertising is being given the cocktail lu
this controversy, for the good of the
temperance cause. Those who are ac
customed to their use will continue to
use tbem just the tame, and those who
are net msv be led to tickle the palate
In a test of this much-mooted drink.
Let the ghost of the Fairbanks cocktail
be drowned.
Yet Rev. Berry, like many another
preacher whose soft snap causes time
to hang heavily on his hands, and hav
ing no affairs of bis own to attend to
gets active and creates strife by mixing
in other people's business about *hich
he knows nothing.

HIES CARROLL
There diet) Id Washington. D. C.,
this we?k une of the truest l:erors
developed by 'be Spanish-American
wir. vet be made h'raself Dot the
target of hostile bullets, bat of the
deadly yellow fever mosquito. This
heroic character was Major James Car
roll. surgeon of the V. S. A . who was a
member of the commission sect to Cuba
just after the close of the war to study
yellow fever. The fever was the
scourge of the fair island and the dead
ly menace of the American troops
remaining stationed ihere. It w?s bis
commission that solved the mystery of
the spread of thj infection and fixed
upon the mo-*quito as the medium of
transmission of infection. It was
uiaioly due to Dr. Carroll's self-sacri
fice that this most important scientific
discovery wai determined. He allowed
himself to be bitten by a mosquito in
fected with the terrible disease and
and was taken ill with the fever with
in four days after. The high quality
of courage that would lead a man to
undergo such an experiment, in which
the proof of his theory meant his own
? aizure with the usually fatal malady,
cannot be overestimated. Dr. Carroll
recovered from the attack, but his
recent death was the result of his work
there. The discovery of the mosquito
as the source of spreading infection
baa been of inestimable benefit to
medical science and fever-affiieted com
munities in the islands and the South,
and this knowledge carmitted the
prompt stamping out of the fearful
contagon in New Orleans and neigh
boring di&'ricta a few years ago when
a wholesale war on the mosquitoes
quickly alleviated tho alarming situ
ation and soon stamped out the disease
which threatened to ravage the South
ern states. Neither war or peace has
examples of greater heroism than that
displa -ed by the dead army su.-geon
whose life has finally paid the price of
his self-sacrifice In the interests of Lis
follow men. ,
TIE TIME TO ACT
At tomorrow night's primary the
friend* of territorial government should
i*< wTTtKnS ttdfieg l? **i!
auftndsd. The opportunity the people
have lontf waited (or ts at bawd. With
the echo of a distinct dofeis -tUi! r. ag
ing in hU enf s from Fairbanks and with
the certain knowledge- that (ram Nome
to the coast settlements he cui eipect
nothing other thas what Fairbanks
dealt out to him, Governor Hoggatt
will soon be satisfied that in at least a<
regards men, It sot political Issues, the
people of Alaska know what they
want? and that they do not want him.
The Skagway primary should adopt a
resolution comdemning the misrep
resen tat ions of Governor Hoggatt and
should have them passed at the cominc
Juneau convention, and it shou'd oe
afterwards sent on to President Roose
velt. The reptile press will poo hoo
the resolution but ft will do so bocaus"
it knows Lhat it will haTe the eff ct of
alterine its patrons treatment of Alas
kaos. President Roosevelt does not
know the imposition and misrepreseo
utk>u Alaskan* are receiving st .he
hand* of bis representative? he ? oultl
not tolerate it If he did. The reptile
press will leais: that the present affair
hate been going on (or years and thr
President Roosevelt muat know it all. '
Yes; It has been going on because no
one has taken the pains to acqu ?int the
President <vith the conditions. Too
many people have been engaged in the
tight to make it any particular one's
business to see that the President ha rd
of what was being done, and in this, as
in all other casea, what is evrrybobj's
business is no one's business, and It
never has been attended to.
AS THEY SEE JAPANESE
The big eastern paper* of the coun
try *11 appear to take the same view of
the Pacific coast labor troubles os the
middle west and coast papers them
selves have takes. The Japanese arc
not wanted in this country and they
should not be allowed here. Of
course, it is rot fair that the.v should He
permitted to come here and then mis
treated. They snould be Wept out in
the begiooing.
Japacese do not welcome whites as
business competitors, says the New
York Mail, and remarks:
'?To get a c >mp!ete view of the phe
nomenon, it is necessary to note tbat,
by ways iess direct and less violent, the
Japanese people themselves are making
it to the interest of the occidental for
eigner to choose a r.kidenoe elsewhere;
as a tourist and sojourner he is wel
come ? not as a business competitor. It
is apparent that the wor'd is do*, yet
ready for the gospel of cosmopolitan
ism."
The Mail might have added that Jap
anese do not want even I he business
competition of Chinese, for they re
cently barred 50 Chinese from Kobe
and are discharging Chinese laborers
from railroad work.
The New York Globe describes the
antagonism as springing "from a pro
found racial instinct, several layers
deeper than prejudice." It adds:
"Paper treaties of alliance and friend
ship, no matter how carcfullv drawn by
diplomatists, are not able to suppress
it. Vancouver has cleared away th?
surface explanation and revealed, so ID*
whole world may read, tbat the two
great English-speaking countries
and through them others, confront
no petty problem? a problem that
coucerns not only the living but the
unborn. Th>: introduction of the negro
was mistake enough. Complete re
spect yet practically complete separa
tion and recognition of the possession
of different nations! orbits and of dif
ferent roles In the world usk? :bis is a
doctrine the Japanete people will t*
compelled to accept. And the accept
ance means peace."
The Chicago Post avers that the
checking of the hoodlums in San Fran
cisco or the mobs in Vancouver "does
not touch the underlying question
which must be answered eventually.
Tbe Pall Mall Gazette puts the danger
In plain words:
"If an unrestricted tide of Asiatics
were allowed to occupy these vacant
hospitable areas, it would require but a
few years to produce an Orients! pre
dominance in the fairest acd richest
possession of the British Empire and
perhaps deflect tbe whole course of its
civilization and destiny."
These newspaper opinions, ?aken at
> random out of many, show that the
country has come to a new realization
of the problem, since Vancouver "has
cleared away the surface explanation."
And though the deeper problem makes
th* dlftcil'ty aors MrfouS, thers If
common ftelln,? tbat tho better uoder .
standing winch ought to come to Japan j
will ward off conflict.
