after only formal protest. He could
claim regularity Of election. absence of

tional requirements and the right Of a

organized a campaign that gave him

Proposed New Military Department.


The temporary assignment to Seattle
of Gen. Randall and the headquarters
Of the military department Of Alaska
makes the time particularly opportune
for following UP the suggestion Of the
Seattle Chamber Of Commerce to have
created a new department, including at
least the Puget sound country and
Alaska, with permanent headquarters
in this city. From a purely military
standpoint, and this alone is worthy Of
consideration. the reasons why this
should be done are numerous and CO.
gent, and they have been collated hap
PLY In the letter on the subject pre-
pared by the secretary Of the Chamber
Of Commerce. Particular emphasis is
laid properly upon the fact that the
points In Alaska selected as suitable
sites for military stations are without
any direct routes of communication
with each other, while all are in direct
communication with Seattle.
Under the present scheme the mill
tary force for Alaska is divided between
the southern portion of the territory and
the country adjacent to the mouth of
the Yukon and the new gold fields of
Cape Nome. To the points Of South
eastern Alaska there Is a large fleet Of
steamers constantly plying from Seat
IA ~ t,,ta nR 1H,xA
days. To Cape Nome and the mouth
OF the Yukon there will probably be a
steamer from Seattle sailing every two
or three days. and possibly at even
shorter intervals as soon as navigation
opens. Between Southeastern Alaska
and the northern points communica-
ton Is rare.
There is no desire on the part of Sc
attic to bring any personal or political
pressure to bear to secure the estab-
lishment Of military headquarters of a
department here. AS in the case of the
request for making this a point of de-
parture for the transports to Manila.
all that is asked is that the decision
be left to board of military officers
of high rank, the members Of which are
on duty In the East and are consequent
ly free from any local bias or prejudice
In the matter. II the department has
the interests of the service ait heart 1t
would seem that 1t can do no less than
grant this modest request.

Noted Paintings by Lamented American
Artist.

The death of Frederick Edwin
Church, the veteran landscape painter,
removed a well-known figure in art
life of this country, better remembered
perhaps by a past generation than by
the younger set. He was born in Hart
fordr~ Conn, May 4, 1926. His talent
for art was prominent and in early
life he determined to adopt art as a
profession and placed himself under
the instruction Of Thomas Cole, and
resided with him in the CatskiIls. He
soon became we'll known as land
seape painter, and critics awarded him
praise for his accuracy of drawing
and vivid appreciation of nature He
spent short time in Switzerland, and
in 1853 visited South America to study
the picturesque scenery. THE Heart
of the Andes" which created a great
sensation, was first exhibited in 1859,
and was bought by the late William
T. Blodgett. Other well-known works
painted about the same period are
e.The Andes of Ecuador, "Cotapaxi,

the price paid for it by Mr. Stewart
being $4,000 In 1878 he was again
represented at the French capital with
two pictures, Morning in the Tropics"
and THE Parthenon. He Travelled
extensively in this country and abroad,
studying nature and giving to the
world numerous productions of a high
character. A number of his works are

works being 'Ieebergs, which was

Three Kinds of British Colonies.

Great Britain has three general
classes of colonies Those controlled
entirely by the home government are
crown colonies, and their funds and
laws are managed by the administra-
ton. which does as it pleases. A Sec
ond class has what is called represen-
tatiye government. In such the crown
retains the veto power and controls
the public officers. Those of the third
class have responsible government. In
such colonies the crown has no con-
troll over any public officer except that
1t appoints the governor and retains
its veto on legislation.

KentuekIan Thought the Episcopal Pre-
late Pain Man.
Not long ago Bishop Dudley of Ken
lucky went to preach in a little town
in the western part of the state, where
there are no Episcopal churches, and
only one, in fact, of any other denomi-
nation. The people are unfamiliar
with any but the plainest and most
simple church service and entirely IN
accustomed to the vestments which the
Episcopal clergy wear. The pastor of
the only church. a good, conscientious,
narrow minded man, hearing that the
bishop was coming on a certain Sun
day to preach at the courthouse, told
some of the pillars" of his eongrega-
ton that he hoped they would not de-
seft their own church to hear the
Episcopal service. On the appointed
Sunday what was the pastors surprise
to notice half Of his flock absent, and
upon inquiry he learned that the court
house was thronged with the villag-
ers. The next day he met one of his
chief supporters, whose accustomed
seat had been vacant at the weekly
service, and the pastor questioned him
as to his whereabouts on Sunday. The
man replied that he had gone to hear
Bishop Dudley. What" replied the
clergyman. Desert me to hear that
pompous prelate!" You're mistaken
in the man, answered the culprit
Bishop Dudley is no pompous pre-
late. He preached in his shirtsleeves. >"
