 The Siberian Railroad is a poor affair. It has cost an immense amount of money and Russia finds 1t difficult to raise money to improve it. Now this is the road that Russia Is depending on to transport men and munifion of war to meet Japan. The road cannot. fin ordinary tirnes carry the business that fs offered. The trip from Moscow to Port DaIney can be made in fourteen days. No soldiers will be trans ported in passenger coaches, and you may imagine their suffering if they are sent. as they must be in open cars fin winter.
 Russia has been getting poorer and poorer year after year and has borrowed money up to her limit. The same is true of Japan. think it would be difficult for either to negotiate war loan. No Russian was ever known to be in a hurry and no Russian can understand why any one else should be. For this reason there Is not likely to be any sudden movement against Japan"

 men went to the polls "to man" and voted for. the labor candidates, but the richer wonfen are said to have paid slight attention to the election. The men who were in charge Of the polling places were in despair because the women insisted upon going into the booths two or three at time, and holding long conferences over their baliots-ah infraction of the law which the embarrassed judges and clerks hesitated to resist by force.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Jacoh A Riis, who, has just written work on the life of the president of the United States, has baen long before the public. The peculiar and interesting econe of his activities. his energy, his singleness of. purpose and his un- questioned sincerity have brought him prominently into favor. No one will for a moment deny that he has ac- complished much good in New York city in the betterment of the poor. The phrase applied to him, ''the most use ful citizen in the United States" was nI1ita adeauate. From an acquaint- ance with the president which devel- oped into an intimate friendship eX- tending through years, Jacob Riis learned to esteem his friend. He pro- fesses his friendship, akin ito venera- ton in no yelled terms. President Roosevelt to him is the embodiment of whatever is manly. To him he is man of excellent Judgment, sound con viction, patriotic, quick to think and as quick ito act, Il tower of strength to his friends, the bestower of fayors on the deserving. He reviews President Roosevelt's life and writes graphically of the strenuous parts he has already played He takes us into his home life and gives us an insight into the presidents character when his mind is free from care. All this Is inter- esting and the more so because the writer Is sincere in his praise Men of all shades of political thought may read the book with pleasure and prof it. The young may learn valuable lessons from it, inasmuch as the story of Roosevelt's life, as well as that of Riis, which is part of it. proves what young men may accomplish if they have an aim in life and sufficient character and perseverance to keep that aim constantly in view. The book is published by the Johnson, Wynne Go, and was written by Jacob A. Riis with an introduction by Mer- Till B. Gates, the president of Amherst college

Americans are great travellers and the tourist business to Europe is growing rapidly every year.

No more interesting trip has been made by steam vessel since the won derful voyage of the Oregon than the recent passage of the steam freighter Nebraskan from San Deigo, Cal, to New York. The trip covered 12,TOO miles and occupied 51 days. It's av- craze speed, therefore. was about 10 1-3 miles an hour. But the most remarkable thing about the voyage is the fact that the Nebraskan, which burns oil instead of coal, was not obliged to stop during the entire trip for fuel. She burned nearly 10000 barrels of oil, and had more than 1000 barrels left. Three furnace men did the work, which on coal-burninc steamer would have required the ser- vices of r stokers. The furnace men receive higher wages than stokers nevertheless the saving is consider nble. The relative cost of oil and coal for such trip has not been deter mined. The engineer of the Nebras- kan is figuring it.
