Will the Innovation Strike Henderson =?

The Thomasville Charity and Chill
dren says this in commenting on
the request recently made by Char
lotte pastor of the female members
of his congregations:
The innovation referred to in our news
column, of the pastor who requests the
ladies of his congregation to remove their
hats during service, is both wise and
timely, especially since the ladies have
taken to wearing shell-shaped head gear
that obstructs the view OF everybody
within four feet of one of them We hope
the custom of bare heads among the sis
ters during church service will generally
obtain.

There are many traction threshing en-
gines being hitched to plows this fall all
over the state, more than ever before.
Perhaps the problem of successful steam
blowing will be evolved in this rounda-
bout manner, Notwithstanding the fact
that the experts and inventors have tried
SO far in vain to make a direct applica.
ton of machinery to this work. How.
ever. as we said some months ago in
these columns, we expect that some time
in the future, the farmer, instead OF hitch.
ing up his horses in the morning with
which to go out and plow, will just take
a couple of wires in his hand and hook
them to the end of the plow carriage,
take his seat under the canopy top, turr

THE FLAG OF THE CUSTOMS.


We join with the Neche Chronotype in
lis lament over the rag Of a flag that the
customs Office there displays to strangers
on its staff. One of the officials there,
however, told us that the local office was
not to blame as they had often asked the
government for a new one, without re.
sponse.
A customs flag is homely enough when
new. We wonder who designed that
horror anyway. If we were a Catholic
we would feel like breathing a prayer
for him every time we saw the flag, for
we would be sure he had never yet got
te out of purgatory. The customs flag
is as ugly rs the national ensign is beau
tiful. The national ensign is an histori-
cal picture, poem of color; every star.
every stripe, every tint has real mean
ing expr> ssed in most beautiful simile.
1t has been the theme and inspiration OF
hundreds Of poems and pages of exquis.
lite description; but imagine if you can a
poem inspired by the customs flag, be-
ginning perhaps something after this
style: "Oh, say can you see, as the light
begins to fail, the stripes running per.
pendicularly and the crow sitting on his
tall" etc.

the states where I'VE" win. the election

Wherever I'VE" lose, the result will be a
matter Of local issues entirely and have
no bearing on the election of the presi-
dent. As a matter of fact about the only
real interest manifested in next weeks
elections are centered in the fight in New

ters are really the ruling ideas. Though

NOT UNDUE j HASTE.

= u 4 ( + 3. & f.
The Chronotype seems unduly worried
over, what seems to its editor, an un-
seemly haste in appointing a successor
to the late treasurer, and seems to as
sumo that when Mr.. Murphy died that
the deputy treasurer, Mr.. Anderson.
could 60 on with the duties of the office
until the new treasurer should be ap.
pointed. If the latter assumption were
true. there would have been no need of
haste, but tits not true, and further, the
law does not seem to provide any way to
keep the Office open except by the ap-
pointment Of a successor. That the of.
fice of the county treasurer is Of such inn
portance that it ought not to be closed
except for the short st space possible,
needs no argument. The action of the
county auditor in calling together the
county board as soon as possible after
the death of Mr.. Murphy. was not only a
matter of good judgment on his part, but
was the unanimous decision of the states
attorney and other county. officials, none
of whom were looking for Office for them.
selves nor Tor their friends, but who did
realize the necessity of keeping the office
open to the public. As it was, for the
intervening time, an arrangement was
made up with the county board by which
the county auditor assumed the SUPER
vision of the Office, which is no part of
his official duties, and he retained Mr..
Anderson to do the clerical labor neces-
sary, and together they did as much as
was absolutely necessary as far as could
be done without the signature of a coun-
ty treasurer. As to undue haste on the
Part of any candidate or his friends. we
saw or have heard Of none. The, DELAY
in the choice on the part Of the county
board, was occasioned BY the absence Of
one or more members Of the board. They
all recognized the necessity Of keeping
the county machinery going, and each as
we'll had the utmost respect for the de-
ceased official. Its quite probable that
the necessity Of opening the office had
considerable to do with the early decis.
ION as to the successor; otherwise the
members might have divided up and
held out for the especial favorite Of each

THE ALASKA BOUNDARY DECISION.
From the Winnipeg Free Press.

From the winnipeg Free ffess'
The Alaska boundary matter has
reached the worst possible conclusion.
The reference to the Tribunal, as it has
turned out, has been an unmihgated mis-
fortune. It is true that the object for
which the Tribunal'was- constituted has
been attained. The ownership of the
disputed territory has been settled. The
situation that has resulted from the for
NAL protest of the Canadian commission
ers is most serious one. 1t is certain
to affect prejudicially the relations be.
tween Canada and Great Britain.
*x*
The deliberate assertion by Sir Louis
Jette and Mr.. Aylesworth that the decis.
ion was not a judicial but political one,
will have momentous effect.
~
These men heard the arguments and
took part in the secret deliberations Of
the Tribunal. AS public men they must
have known that a declaration by them
challenging the justice OF the finding
would act the heather afire in Canada.
~
That under these circumstances, they
should have issued a protest so uncom
promising in tone. indicates that the pro.
vocation must have been great.
The result will be that it will become a
fixed idea in the Canadian mind that on
this question Of the Alaskan Boundary
Canada was deliberately ..thrown down.
The Alaskan boundary award will take
its place with the Ashburton treaty as q
damning evidence Of Great Britain,s SUBJ
seryiency 70 the United States where the
