the harbors Of California, Oregon. WASH
ington and British Columbia are to seize

Puget sound the steamer route from the
straits OF Juan de Fuca, which form the
entrance TO the Sound. to Yokohama. be-
ing almost 800 miles shorter than the route
from San Francisco. The advantage in
the route to the South Pacific, however,
lies with San Francisco. But this has
not deferred the lively cities OF
Tacoma and Seattle on the Sound
from arranging lines of steamers to Hon
olulu within the past three months. The
Philippines are reached by way OF Yoko-
hama and Hongkong. and hence the Pu-
get Sound Is in the lead In the matter OF

DEWEY'S REWARD.

The question of what shall be done
by the American people in the way of
substantial recognition of the eminent
services of Admiral Dewey, is now oc-
cupying large share of public atten-
ton, and many propositions have been
made, some of them approaching the
ridiculous, the $500 a plate dinner be-
ing an example. Dinners are all very
well in their way, but even a banquet
at the cost suggested would be but a
commonplace and effervescent tribute
under the circumstances. The nation,
through the government, has conferred
honor upon Dewey in reviving the grade
of Admiral. which has not existed in
the navy since the death of Farragut
The people desire to do something
more? What shall that something be?
is now the topic up for discussion.
The action of the British nation, in
presenting Lord Wellington with the
estate of Strathfieldsaye, after Water
loo, at cost of more than 81 800 900,
has commended itself to some minds
and there has been a proposition, with
many advocates, to start a national and
popular subscription Of 100000 to be
applied to the purchase of an adequate
residence for the Admiral The New
York Times amends this suggestion,
and the effect of its proposition is that
hn of = he
ticularly the daily papers, take the mat
ter up, and open popular subscriptions,
each paper being limited to a total of
$500. There are 2,119 daily papers in
the United States. and the Times as
sumes that 500 of this number can be Sc
lected as subscription agencies, limited
TO the amount named. This would re-
suit in an essentially national and pop
ular subscription of $25O,0O0. The Times
further proposes that one-half of this
subscription, or s125,000, be devoted to
the erection of a residence in any por-
ton of the United States indicated by
the Admiral. and that the remaining
$125,000 be devoted to the personal use
of the naval hero, the President of the
United States. the Secretary of State
and the Secretary of the Treasury to be
trustees.
This idea appears to have commend
able features, and is much more to be
purpose than the dinner PROPOSE
ton, which, however costly, would lily
represent public appreciation, and
would be in no sense a proper public
testimonial.

leans. There IL much food for relIec-
/ ton In Mr.. Van Meters remarks. and
much more in the quotations he gives
| from the letters written by our SOL
diers to dear ones at home
Is there not something strangely pc
culiar, something utterly repugnant to
American ideas of freedom, rights
and justice in this censorship of the
mails and cables in so far as
communications Letween Americans
are concerned? AS the writer says:
Cannot one of our soldiers
write the truth to his mother
10000 miles away in America with
out danger of persecution on the very
fields where he has fought to win our
yictories?" Where is the spirit of 1916
when such conditions arise as are found
necessary in the conduct of this war?
Are not many of us too thoughtless, too
inconsiderate of the dangers of such
censorship? 1t is not troubling us much
at present, but other days and other
events may come to pass when an I'M
protested precedent will rise up to
haunt us with sore effect.
Mr.. Van Meters letter is reproduced
in another column and the Register
asks that it be read by all it's readers.

Ex.Gov. FLOWER ON TRUSTS.

The deceased Wall Street magnate
had many qualities of heart and mind
unusual to the average broker or opera
tor. An exchange says of him:
AS Wall Street operator on a large
scale ex-Gov. Flower was an interesting
figure, particularly because of the diff
ference in his manner and methods
from those pursued by his predecessors
IN the same department of activity.
He was notably frank and outspoken,
and had never been accused of resort
ing to spoken or written deceit in the
matter of properties in which his house
was speculatively interested 1t is also
something striking that he had always,
in Wall Street parlance, been a ''bulP';
that is to say, he consistently asserted
the merits of the properties in which
his house was speculatively interested.
But it is only fair to say that, while
maintaining this position regarding his
own specialties, he was usually ready
GNU hohOSI III WuSu d SpCC-
ulative movement had gone beyond
reasonable bounds. Recently the ex-
Governor contributed some interest ting,
if not convincing statements, to the
literature of opinion on the new indus
trial organizations. He was classed as
warm advocate of such undertakings.
There is reason to believe, however,
that his opinion regarding these con-
Germs changed somewhat from time to
time. In recent conversations, private
and for publication, he had recognized
frankly great danger underlying the
present reckless incorporation of indus
trial enterprises. Like most bankers
and promoters, however, he always had
a good word to say for the enterprises
in which his own house was interested.
