FOR CLEAN-UP WEEK One week from today marks the comencement of Clean-Up Week in the capital oity. During the ensuing few days there will be meetings Iteld for the purposes of formulating plans for carrying on this work. Among the plans which have.beeD adopted In otter cities throughout the nation are the following: Division of the city into districts, with a committee appointed to super- v' vise the clean-up work in each district. Appointment of volunteer workers to instruct in methods of cleaning. Mailing of circulars to all house holders apprising them of value and necessity of cleaning up. Furnishing cf wagons to haul away all refuse to dumping grounds or cre matories. Display "of slides announcing city clean-up week in motion picture thea ters. «»»'|«ir! Co-operation of individual citizens with public health officers and civic organizations Interested in the work. It is expected that the majority, if not all of these plans, will be adopted by the workers of the capital city. Great good.can be accomplished by Clean-Up Week, if it is properly ob served by the general oltizen body of Bismarck. Let every week be Clean up Week. -Stay clean after the city is rid of the refuse and rubbish and disease breeding places which are now ey.e8ore8.-to all citizens. Bismarck will theu be not only one of the most beautiful cities in the northwest but one of the most healthful as well. INVESTIGATING THE DISASTER The United States government has taken direct and promising steps to ascertain the full troth of tbeTitahic's loss, sending representatives to meet and examine the survivors and others with information regarding the man ner in which tie ship was equipped and handled. There are many ques tions to be answered, and upon the answers will depend the measures adopted by this country to prevent repetitions. The British parliament is closely questioning those members of the ministry who have to do with navigation control, and between that body and congress some form of leg islative enacemeat is probable that will set a new standard of safety at sea Government activity in this matter may go in two directions, to punish those who may have been guilty of negligence or recklessness, and to seek means to reduce the dan ger of sea disasters. On one point there is no divilson of public opinion. A well-nigh universal demand is voiced for the immediate requirement that every ship that goes to sea must carry life-saving accommodations for every passenger and member of her crew. This must be done even though all the luxuries that now form so con spicuous a feature of the more expen sive forms of transatlantic travel are discarded. THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO Washington Star: This government is not disposed at present to press the issue against Mexico raised by the recent note from the state department and the reply subsequently received from Minister Cilero. This is no time for a futile discussion of Mex ican official responsibility for condi tions in the troubled parts of the re pubic If the United States regards its warning as ignored and American 'citizens are injured and their prop erty destroyed, it will probably pro ceed without farther parley to demon strate to the government at the City i-!v?ij£^JjrJs£ji-t\'J.: of Mexico that it has not abated in the least from its position. The dis claimer by Madera's government of re-^ sponsibility for conditions in the in surgent provinces by no means settles the question. That government is still the agent of administration in Mexico and the United 'States has recognized no belligerency south of the Rio Grande. Having served notice, the United States can only wait for such happenings as may come. It is to be hoped that nothing will arise to can for intervention. J. tPierpont Morgan is said to make it a rule not to expect too much from people. It is difficult to see how Mr. Morgan could expect any more than he has secured. No resentment will be felt hereafter when steamship officers explain that the,number of passengers will have to be cut down in order to make room for lifeboats. John Burroughs, the naturalist, says he does not like to discuss politics just now. There are times when even science and- poetry find it better to be discreet Congress will see to it that the pub lic interested in travel is indulged in 9 desire for information beyond that contained in circulars and time tableB. Strike settlements and abundance of crops will not silence the statesman ship that depends on the assumptibn that there is no prosperity. The committee on merchant marine is looking forward to an investigation whose conclusions will not be buried in vague generalities. Mr. Roosevelt may be content to regard generously the delegates se cured by Mr, La Follette as being the result of a misdeal. Photographers were barred from the Carpathia dock.

HIS TRIPOLI HARBOR FEAT. The Recapture and Destruction of the Philadelphia In the Midst of a Hostile Flaat War* Called by Nelson "the Most Oaring Act of the Age." Stephen Decatur, the pride of the early American navy, entered the serv ice when the naval spirit was at its lowest ebb. He was without training as an officer when, at twenty, he be gan the career that was to bring him fame. Before Decatur was twenty-five he had been twice honored by presen tation of a sword by congress, and at twenty-five be was a captain in com mand of the noble frigate Constitution. His deeds of valor make a narrative like a dashing romance. His qualities were those the naval officer today can emulate with profit to himself and his country and every patriot regard with satisfaction. There are few names on the scroll of fame with a brighter lus ter than his. From childhood Stephen loved the sea. At an early age he began the study of shipbuilding and at seventeen helped construct the United States frig ate United States, which he was one day to command. The war with France brought him his first great op portunity. Decatur was its most pic turesque sea figure. When, in 1801, all the navy except six ships was dismantled and 75 per cent of the officers dismissed Decatur was kept in the service, and he found speedy use for the naval lore be had acquired. For centuries the Barbary states had supported themselves by piracy. Most nations, including our own, paid them shameful tribute to win protection from these pirate ships. In May, 1801. the pasha of Tripoli declared war on the United States and began to seize American vessels that were cruising in the Mediterranean. Four Yankee war ships were sent to Tripoli and Decatur along with them as first lieutenant During this war the United States man-of-war Philadelphia went aground on a reef in Tripoli harbor and was captured by the pasha. Decatur vol unteered to go by night into the harbor and destroy the Philadelphia. He seized a small native vessel called a ketch from the Tripolitans and re named it the Intrepid. With seventy picked men as his crew and accompa nied by another small vessel the Siren, to act as escort, the Intrepid sailed from Syracuse on Feb. 3. 1804, on her hazardous errand. Inside of the Trip oli harbor he could see the Philadel phia moored close to the heavily arm ed castle of the pasha and the batteries around the harbor, the whole mounting 115 guns. Twenty-four Tripolitan ships of war lay between the Philadelphia and the shore, all fully.manned and ready for an uttack. The hour agreed on for Decatur's at tack was 10 o'clock "at night. As the Intrepid entered the harbor it appeared to be only a native boat, and little at tention was paid to her. Her crew were hidden behind her rails, crouch ing, with their arms in their hands. The little vessel drifted near the Philadel phia, and the crew watched with in terest what they supposed was a little ketch drifting In. Decatur was now hailed from the Philadelphia and warn ed to keep off. His pilot, an Italian, was Instructed to reply that they had lost their anchor and wished to run a line to the frigate for the night This request was granted, and Deca tur's ruse thus far worked well. The crew began to pull the ketch up to the frigate, but as they came nearer the men in the Philadelphia saw the true character of the ketch and raised the alarm. It was too late, for Decatur was near enough to lead his men in a swarm up the side of the Philadelphia and over her bulwarks. The Tripolitans had no time to de fend themselves, and they were cut down or driven overboard until not one remained on deck. In five min utes Decatur was in undisputed com mand of the ship. Means of combus tion had been brought, and as the Philadelphia could not be moved she was set on fire in various places. The flames were pouring from her hatches when Decatur and his men left her deck and sbpved off in the Intrepid without the loss of a man. The guns of the Philadelphia were all loaded, and as they became hot they were discharged, and their shots took effect in the town. The conflagration cast a red glare on the castle, mosques and minarets, on the batteries and on the shipping in the harbor, whose crews had been so startled by the sud denness of the attack that not a shot had been fired to stay it No less a navnl hero than Admiral Nelson pronounced it "the most daring act of the ajre."

A Grim Play In Which the "Star" Is Fighting For Existence, Has Abso lutely No Chance to Win and Whose Death Means the End of tha World. Life is a tragedy, the earth a stage, men and women the actors, the "gods" the audience. Some pessimists believe that this great play of life is more comic than tragic in the opinion of the spectators. However this may be, there is an other, vastly greater, tragedy of life af which man himself is an onlooker, al though, unfortunately, his own ulti mate fate Is bound up with the denoue ment of the play. It Is the life drama of the solar sys tem. Its chief actor Is the sun. and men are beginning to rub their eyes and wipe the specks from their glasses as they perceive more and more plainly indications that the "star" of the play Is aging. The fact Is becoming only too clear that for bim this is no sport, but real, deadly tragedy. He Is not. acting a part but fighting for life. He cannot win be can only prolong the struggle, and when be falls exhausted the stage, the theater, actors, spectators, pit and galleries will go wltb bim in one uni versal ruin. Until recently we were only troubled a little in mind by the sun spots. It was evident that they must cut off some radiation, but the amount ap peared to be trifling, and their maxima are far apart, ten or eleven years. But now we are confronted by a much more disquieting phenomenon. The sun appears to "fluctuate at Irregular inter vals of several days and sometimes of several months." Here is the crux of the whole mat ter. What docs the recognition of the fact that the sun is a veritable star mean? Whn.t may it mean to the earth and its inhabitants? These questions can best be answered by considering other variable stars. Let us take an extreme example. There is in the constellation of the Whale a famous, variable star known as Mira the Wonderful. In a period of about ten months oh the average it changes from the third—sometimes the second—magnitude to about the ninth and then back again. That means, in the extreme, a prob able difference of between two and three hundred times In the amount of light and heat which it radiates around it at maximum and at minimum. When it Is faintest it cannot be seen with the naked eye when it Is bright est it is,a conspicuous object »As it fades it turns' reddish in color, and when it brightens it blazes with bril liant spectroscopic lines. It is probably a sun at least as great as our sun, and it has recently been found that its spectrum resembles in some striking peculiarities the spectra of sun spots. Did it ever have any worlds to light and nourish? If so think of the condi tion of those worlds now. A sun is- like a living organism—it wears out. As it ages it necomes more and more variable. It maintains itself and its planets while its radiant power lasts, but it canuot do so forever. It contracts, flickers, struggles, fades and goes out Its lifetime Is millions of years, but it has an end. "Let us account aa a mere nothing," cried Bossuet.
