The Useless Staff.

1t has been suggested that the gov
ernor's staff should be abolished.
Unquestionably it should. The staff
is manufacturing titled generals too
fast. The staff has nothing to do but
wear uniforms that do not become the
civilian carriage. No military training
or knowledge is required. In fact, it is
against mans chances to secure an
appointment to the staff If he has had
any military training. The staff is
paid nothing except titles, the right to
wear gaudy uniforms and travel on
junkets-but that is too much pay for
men who have never done anything to
earn military rewards.
Did you ever see anything more
ridiculous than a lot of lawyers, doc
tors, merchants, contractors, etc,
busked and decked in blue and gold
lace and crowned with beplumed
chapeaux exhibiting themselves on

1t has been found by Sir William Ram
say that the new element, radiun, about
whose wonders the scientific world has
been talking: for months, changes itself
into helium. There seems to be no doubt
that here is case of genuine transmit
tation Of one element into another-some-
thing that is fundamentally at variance
with the accepted conception of chemistry
If radium changes itself into. helium,, is
it not possible that ways may be found
to change other elements into some other
form? Perhaps we may yet see fulfilled
the dream of the alchemists that baser
metals might be turned into gold. What
a financial stew there would be If some
chemist should turn up with a cheap
process of turning lead into gold. What
would the world do for a monetary
standard?

Twin Cities at the Exposition.

There IS u plan on foot to raise
$4,000 in Minneapolis and ST. Paul
for the purpose Of making a twin city
exhibit In what is known as The
Model City" department at the St.
Louis exposition. st. Paul has raised
$12,5o0 and has the money in hand.
They are quite enthusiastic over the
enterprise down there and are Won
dering when Minneapolis Is going to
get busy along the same Aine. The
matter seems to have been neglected
here. At all events 1t Is moving slow
ly. The council has appropriated
$4,000, and that leaves $4,000 to
raise by general subscription.
President Jones Of the city council
indorses and urges Minneapolis to CO.
operate the idea with ST. Paul
on the theory that it affords an OPP
portunity to do some wonderfully
good advertising for the twin cities.
The exposition management has as
signed to Minneapolis and st. Paul
about the best location to be had In
The Model City" exhibit, and one
feature which 1t is proposed to incor-
porate Is relief chart or model
showing the topography Of the twin
cities, practically all the principal
Of the entire area within the city linn
it's of both cities. This exhibit is to
be spread out In a large pit above
which platforms will be arranged in
two tiers for spectators to look down
and see the panoramic view of the
cities. There Is so much Of natural
beauty which can be brought out in
a Typographical representation of that
kind that it would seem to be a very
excellent way Of presenting not only
the size of the business centers and
their importance, but the attractive
ness Of the residence sections as well.
1t will be sort of bird's-eye view,
showing the river and lakes, groves
and parks. It is doubtful If any other
center Of population In the country
has any more attractive surroundings
and more beautiful setting than these
two cities, and there will be a special
advantage for them in an exhibit of
this character, But whether this is
made a feature of the twin city dis
play or not, the general undertaking
appears to be of sufficient -impor-
lance to Justify prompt and liberal
response from the people of this city
in the way Of financial support.

Politics in Alaska.

Alaska will send two delegations to
the national republican convention.
The people of that district have no
voice in the election of president fur
Their than in helping to- make the
nomination, but they improve their
opportunities to play politics and split
up into factions in selecting their dele
gates The territorial convention,
held at Juneau the 18th Of November,
split on the question of delegates and
the district committee. One faction
made up a list of delegates headed
by Thomas Marquam. of Haines' Mis-
sion. and the other constructed dele
Juneau. OF course there will be a
scrap before the convention to see who
shall have the honor of casting the
vote which Alaska acannot back up
next November because her people
have no vote on national affairs. Both
Of the factions declared for territorial
government, the Marquam faction be-
ing contented with one delegate. The
other side not only declared for home
rule, but also urged the appointment
Of all federal officers from among
residents of Alaska, recommended an
appropriation for the construction Of
wagon roads and trails the establish
ment of salmon hatcheries, and
favored two territorial delegates in
congress, one from southeast Alaska,
and the other from the Yukon and
Nome districts. It's no wonder these
Alaskans are anxious for autonomy.
They know the art Of politics down to
the ground.

The public has been of the opinion that
the Standard Oil company has been adj
vancing the prices of petroleum in order
to give the University of Chicago further
endowments. The Standards friends say
this is not so, but that the price Of oil has
been advanced In order to encourage the
opening of new fields and wells. Maybe
So but it's a good guess that prices will
not long stay up after somebody has done
lot of prospecting, and discovered new
fields which the Standard will want to buy.

The Dawson News OF Oct. 80 shows that
winter prices have commenced in that far
northern city. For instance, potatoes are
$40 a bushel; Dawson ranch eggs, So
dozen; Dawson poultry, so cents a poundi
roast beef, IS to 65 cents a pound; mutton,
36 to go cents pound; oats, bran, hay and
chopped feed, all Z cents pound. Seven
cents a pound for hay means $14O ton.
Considerable quantities of supplies des-
tined for Dawson will never reach there
ana prices are liable to be much higher
before the winter is over. This suggests
some of the difficulties of living in that
country, but they are moderate in Dawson
by comparison with prices out on the
creeks on the American side where trans
portation adds 10 to 20 cents q pound to
every article used.
