The adoption of a new army uniform Of
olive drab color will break into some patri-
cite traditions of long standing. There can
be no more illusions to the boys in blue"
and the blue and the gray" Will represent
two uniforms instead OF one. The refrain
Three cheers for the red. white and blue"
relates 10 the flag, but somehow it has
connected itself with the uniform also.
There may have been some practical argu-
nents in favor of the change. but the senti-
mental ones Were all against il.

There seems 10 be no possible reason
which should have weight with fair-minded
men why the petition of the Merchants
Association for authority to establish a
heating and lighting plant in the business
portion Of the city should not be
granted. All that the association proposes
to do is to heat and light the buildings
which its members occupy or own. To the
association ii means a cheap and safe sys-
tenn of heating and getting rid of the
smoke and dirt so ruinous to many goods
which attend the burning Of soft coal.
While so many advantages will be real
lied from the erection of one plant by
business men, the public will be rid of the
greater part of the smoke which has been
so obnoxious TO a large part of the city.
The franchise asked for Will come up in
the Council tomorrow night and should
be granted promptly that the construction
may begin at once.

1.-The Arctic Brotherhood" is an organiza-
ton formed at Skaguay. Alaska, four years
ago for social and benevolent purposes.
Camp Nome, No. 9. of this brotherhood.
situated at Nome, Alaska, has established
a clubroom where its members can meet
during the seven frigid months in which
they are cut off from communication with
the outer world. The camp is not able to
appropriate money for literature, and so
makes an appeal to the people back
home for contributions of books and
periodicals. This is a call that should
touch the sympathies and meet with GEN.

be too long delayed, for the season of reg

be afforded these isolated Americans. John
I. Reed is chief of the camp.

One New York writer expresses irritation
because people persist in saying private
yacht" when the word yacht signifies pri-
vate pleasure vessel, and there is no such
thing as a public yacht. Another New
York editor is annoyed because an uncul-
tured public constantly uses the phrase
free pass when, as a matter of course,
a pass" is necessarily free. Indignant as
they are, however, it is probable that
neither Of these fnicky editors would OBJ
ject TO owning a private yacht or would
refuse a free pass.

Minister WI is quoted as saying that
what China needs most is education, rail
roads and newspapers. 1t might be thought
by some that he has put these needs in
reverse order, since education can be
gained from newspapers. On reflection,
however, it seems probable that he is
right. Education-of a kind-can be had
without the aid Of either railroads or news
papers, but newspapers. at least dailies.
