WELL
MeIunes Makes First Speech
 On Yukon Policy

The people of whitehorse entertain ed Gov. W. W. B. McInnes Thursday night at a banquet and the new chief executive of Canada's great gold pro ducing territory made his first speech to bis people. Among other things, he said:
 "I have heard of trouble and factions in Yukon, not in this portion of the district, however, but I come among YOU Knowing no faction or clique and wholly unbiased and free from prejudice.
 ''It is my intention to pursue, as your commissioner, a course that will com mand the respect and unqualified sup port of all right thinking people. All my life I have been an unswerving liberal, but I do not come to you as a party man. It is my intention to give YOU an administration that is above party. an administration that is clear of all cliques and factions and that, when the time may come when my re- lations with Yudon may be severed, may leave you possessing that full and entire confidence that your greetings to me show you to have in me at this, the beginning of administration.
 As a western man I have confidence in the west and believe that the western portion of the Dominion is destined ere long to become the most powerful of Canada's broad domain. I have coa- idence iu the future of the wes, snd in the future of the Yukon. It is my firm belief that the lstter's best is still in the future.
 Another thing I wish to impress upon your minds and that is when you have any favors to ask, suggestions or complaints to make or grievances to air that you come to me as man to man. Let there be DO gulf fixed between thee and me tut come as one friend to another and we will reason together. I cordially invite every man from Whitehorse to visit me whenever he or they come to Dawson
 Gov. McInnes spoke his regrets be- cause of the recent White horse disaster and complimented the people of that town for the pluck and energy shown in the prompt rebuilding of the place. He promised the people there any aid . iu any line he could render and promised to return to the pls ce before the close of navigation.

They proved to be just what was needed in my case, and in remarkably short time I was enti ely cured.

No man ever went into public office with greater popularity than that pos sessed by W. W. B, McInneS the new governor of the Yukon. Those of both parties ID the Yukon and of all factions in them vie one with the other in their efforts to do him honor.

 "The Star believes that in Mir, Nc Inues we will have an upright, honest, bold aud fearless official, who will hew to the line, regardless of where tbe chips may fall, and with those who heard him last night the Star most heartily joins iu the common feeling, all honor and all hail to Commissioner McIuues

". l.. DOUGLAS WILL RETIRE

Gov. Douglas, elected last fall on the demodratic ticket to be governor ol Massachusetts at the same election when the state gave President Roose' welt on the republican ticket major ity of 5000, will not be a candidate for reelection. He has not the time re- ouired to successfully fight the polite ians in both the republican and the democratic parties, He vainly i'm agiued when he went into office that he would have the support of his own party in his effort to Oust republican rascality from places of authority. But be discovered that republican and dem- ocra,ic rascality are very closely re- lated and he is having to combat the machines Of both parties.
 In spite oI the opposition of both dem- ocratic and republican politicians it is conceded that Gov. Douglas would be reelected if he would consent to run again. He would receive the support of the best elements of the state irrespective oi party. But he canrot take from his business interests the time required to make the fight, He is the largest individual shoe man' utacturer iu the world-his total busi- ness transactions totaling nearly sl, ,OO0,' GOO month. This requires so much oi his attention that he finds it not prscti' cable to enter into a strenuous battle such as that Folk and Deneen and Hoch and Johnson and La Toilette are fighting in Missouri, Illinois, Kansas Minnesota and Wisconsin. Therefore he will retire from politics this year.

"He gave as during one course, many

The Bennington Disaster.

Our navy has had few disasters
comparable with that which wrecked
the Bennington and destroyed SO many
lives yesterday. 1t should have none
at all.
The boiler which exploded was re-
garded as unsafe and had been re-
Gently repaired With the modern
methods of testing boilers and with
the safety appliances now IN use it
ought not to be possible ever to exceed
the limit of pressure in any of our
ships, Certainly, in time of peace,
and with the resources of this country
to draw upon. the vessels Of our navy
should be as safe as science and
money can make them
However, 1t IS we'll to remember
that wherever the forces of nature
are employed in the service of man
the machinery for their utilization is
always under tremendous stress, and
even slight. and otherwise excusable,
iapses Of the operator are attended
with fearful risks It may not have
been the fault of any one person that
the Bennington's boiler blew up; there
may have been hidden defect in the
materials of which 1t was construct
ed; there may have been some un-
known and undiscoverable fault in it's
structure; or the safety appliances
may suddenly and without warning
have failed to work. It is possible
that this particular boiler had been
too long in service and that its limit
of safety had been put too high.
In other words, it is not necessary
to predicate incompetence or negIi-
gence of anyone in order to account
for this terrible disaster. 1t may have
been entirely unavoidable. However.
the navy owes it to itself to see that
no such accidents occur again. That
they have hitherto been few and of
comparatively small proportions as
compared with the disaster to the
Bennington is to the credit not only
of the navy but OF our shipbuilders.
That they are possible, the catastro-
phe of yesterday announces with
dreadful earnestness. With such a
warning another disaster would be
criminal.

CAMILLE FLAMhARION
DEMANDS NEW CALENDAR
Famous Astronomer Would Have New
Year Day Come on
March II.

PARIS, July 22.-France is soon to
adopt a new calendar. If NJ. Camille
Flammarion. the famous astronomer,
has his way. In the near future he VIII
submit to the chamber a calendar radI-
cally different from the one now used
by the whole civilized world.
March p, the advent Of spring, is to
be New Year Day. and d month OF
thirty-one days is to follow each two
months of thirty days so that the year
would have only 364 days. to which he
wants added an annual special holiday
IN ordinary years and two in lean years.
These days are to be known by spe-
cial names and not by the recognized
names of the days of the week. The
advantage of his calendar, NJ. Flam-
marion says. is that the same dates
would always fail on the same week
days, so that the calendar would re-
main stationary every year.
