The Norwegian Referendum.

\ most remarkable vote was that
cast by the Norwegians In the popular
referendum on a separation of their
country from Sweden, and the whole
movement up to date is inexplicable
to anybody not directly in touch with
popular sentiment and traditions
there. Out of a total voting popula-
tion of about 100000 more than 100000
voters registered their preference as
for or against the dissolution of the
scandinavian nation into two compo-
nent parts: and only about one voter
in every three thousand was against
the proposed amicable separation
less than one thirtieth of one per cent
1t is the most orderly revolution"
in history-a people wanting a sepa-
rate and Independent government, but
going about it calmly, deliberately, re-
fusing to do violence to anybody or
anything, actually asking the reigning
monarch to help establish a new mon
archy for them by naming a king for
them, and willing to meet the wishes
of the abandoned nation in any rea-
sonabIe measure.
There are instances not infrequent
wherein husbands and wives. neither
being an offender against the other,
still deliberately reach an amicable
conclusion that both will be better off
apart; but the legal separation" of
two nations without bIoodshed or
heartburnings is something decidedly
novel. We pirate fulsomely of the
beauties of international arbitration
but would The Hague tribunal itself
ever presume to tackle a case involv-
ing only "incompatibility of temper"
between two powers?

The FIT. Grant Military Reservation

The decision of the war department
to abandon Fort Grant. Graham coun-
ty, as a military post, raises a ques-
ton as 10 the future of that valuable
property.
The reservation covers an area of
$4,000 acres, and is bounded on three
sides by magnificent forests. Its al
titude gives it a superb climate. The
government buildings on the reserva-
ton have cost, to construct. more
than 100000. Their value to the gov
eminent, and the value of the reserva-
ton as n whole. will be nominal after
the place is abandoned as a military
post.
Several weeks ago, upon learning OF
the administrators purpose to with
draw the troops from Fort Grant
Governor Kibbey wrote to the depart
ments interested and requested the CO.
operation of the administration in Sc
curing an act of congress donating the
property to the territory Of Arizona for
public purposes. It is to be hoped that
his recommendation will be approved
and that congress will take the prop
er action.
Fort Grant is splendldly suited to
the purposes of a territorial institu-
ton Perhaps no better place could
be found in the territory for a peni-
Tertiary. or an insane asylum. The
present asylum for the insane will
continue to require expensive addi-
lions in order to meet the growing de-
mands upon it's capacity With slight
expense the buildings at Fort Grant
could be made to serve all the pur-
poses of second asylum. At any rate
Arizona will readily make use of the
property, if Uncle Sam will donate it
for territorial purposes.
Congress cannot consistently turn a
deaf ear to a request for the passage
of the bill proposed. The federal gov
eminent has never done a thing for
this territory in the way of public
buildings. All Of the territorial insti-
tutions have been constructed by our
own taxpayers. On the other hand
every other territory has been treat
ed most generously.

DOWN THE COLORADO.

OF the Colorado river itself much
might be said. No one who has seen
it between the steep walls of the Grand
Canyon. where it dashes and RACES,
boils and seethes in its turbulent fury.
can concelves that it is the same river
which here so lazily and sleepily
"sprawls'' instead of flows along
There it is full of life and dash: here
it is chronically lazy. The reason of
course, is self-evident. There the
walls narrow it in. and the fall Is
great; here it broadens out in the soft
desert soil and the fan is slight.
To the hunter there is plenty OF
opportunity on such Il trip to exercise

Priest and President

IN the course of his recent address
to the anthracite miners at Wilkes
barre. President Roosevelt read a let
ter from a priest asking his aid in the
work of the Catholic Total Abstinence
union. In one part of the letter the
priest wrote as follows:
There is one discourag ing feature
connected with the upward tendency
of the wage scale among the workmen
of this country. The higher the wages,
the more money they spend in the sa-
looms. The shorter the hours. the
more they are inclined to absent
themselves from home"
This suggests a pretty hard doc
trine-namely, that the lower the
wages and the longer the hours the
better will be the conditions of the
workmen. But the priest probably did
not mean exactly that. His intention.
evidently, was to hold up sharply to
view a tendency which exists in too
many individual cases. and to portray
a peril which every man. whether
classed as 'laborer" or not. should
resist with ell his moral might and
common sense. Certainly grinding
poverty cannot be recommended as ar

Alaska.

Perkins in the Worlds Work, that
Nome, Alaska. is 300 miles west of
Honolulu? Do you know that Alaska
has almost two and a half times as
much coast line as the rest of the
United States?"
The panhandle" of Alaska includes
1000 miles of inland sea, protected by
q range of islands.
The Yukon carries as much water
as the Mississippi. 1t rises within
thirty miles of the Pacific and travels
5000 miles to Behring sea.
The mouth of the Yukon is ninety
miles wide. AS in the Amazon's
mouth, you may ascend it on a clear
day and see no shore.
From Cape Prince of Wales. Ameri-
can soil, you can see Asia across only
thirty-twO miles of Behring Strait
Seven railways are in operation or
being constructed. The most famous
is the Skagway- Yukon connecting

The Mexican Herald continues to
talk very plainly to the politicians and
journalists of the disorderly republics.
THE worst enemies of the survival of
the Latin American ideal" it said last
week ARE some of the Latin Ameri-
can nations themselves. If their in
heritance passes to the stranger and
their Latin culture is superseded by
that of the Saxon, they will have
themselves to blame. They have,
however. still time to mend, 1t is
not too late for them to turn over a
new leaf and to inaugurate a system
of administrative stability and eff
cheney, of self-respect and respect for
the rights of others, which will de-
prive other powers of all preteXt for
meddling with their affairs"

uplifter of the people to higher stand
ards of existence, or as a maker of
happy homes for women and children.
Nevertheless there was a note of
wholesome warning in the priests
words, and this was happily interpret
ed by the president as follows:
"The priest does not mean that the
tendency is to grow worse; but he
means that with Increased wages and
shorter hours there Is a tendency to
go wrong. which must be offset by
movements such as this great temper
ance movement and similar efforts for
social and civic betterment, or else the
increase in leisure and money will
prove a curse instead of a blessing.
at is of incalculabie consequence to
the wage worker that he be sober and
temperate.
Everything possible should be done
to encourage the growth of that spir-
it of self-respect. self-restraint. self
reliance, switch, if it only grow
enough, is certain to make all those
in whom it shows itself move steadily
upward toward the highest standard
of American citizenship"
There are undoubtedly wage earn
ers, as well as wage payers who make
unworthy use of their prosperity; who
degrade themselves and curse others;
to whom large or small incomes
mean nothing more than correspond
ing expenditures in riotous living and
general "cussedness; who, at the end
of the year have nothing to show
whether they have earned one dollar
or five dollars a day. But they are in
the minority. Look at the savings
banks. the comfortable homes the well
dressed families, the mass of our
working citizenship. Let these serve
as examples for the shiftless and the
dissipated.
And let the words of the priest and
of the president at Wilkesbarre take
deep root in the hearts of the people.
Self-respect, self-restraint, self-relI-
ance-these are the factors of a use
full and happy life, the hope of the in
dividual and the strength of the ma
ton.

THE ARMY POST WOMAN.
No Ground for Censure Because OF
Disclosures in the Taggart Case.


The charges against Mrs. Grace
Taggart, the wife of an army officer.
now defending herself against an ac-
ton for divorce, has been made the
text in certain quarters for general
censures of army wives as less dis
Greet and more frivolous than their
sisters in civil life OF these general
censures, Mrs. Taggart has said:
The life of a woman who lives at
an army post is not like the life, per-
haps of a woman in a small com
munity. But the women there con
duet themselves with the same discre-
ton and propriety that they do else
where. They are as true wives and
as loyal mothers as are to be found
Leaving wholly aside any bearing of
Mrs. Taggart's assertion upon her own
troubles, and taking it in the most
general sense, 1t is not only true, but
less than the trutn.
The life of an army wife is hard
She lives under a microscope. She is
subjected to a constant scrutiny, even
more minute than that which the av
erage decent woman receives in
ismall town receives-which can be
compared only to that brought to bear
on the minister's wife in such a town.
Furthermore, the army wife, If she
venture to be indiscreet, is likely to
find the microscope under which she
lives instantly enlarged into a tele-
scope through which the whole HG-
ton is looking at her. Her husbands
position makes the domestic trougles
likely to be forced into national prom
inence. when they are, in fact, no
worse than are occurring in every
block in civil life.
Under these circumstances it is a
wonder not that SO many but so few
scandals affecting army wives get into
the newspapers. The fact that they do
not-that the percentage of domestic
scandals in the army attracting public
attention is smaller than in civil life
is the strongest possible testimony to
the propriety and discretion of the ar
my post woman.
The old army toast of obligation
1.-The Ladies, God Bless Them.''-was
we'll warranted. The average army
wife has equals. but no group of wo-
men averages higher.-Chicago Inter

his awkward clothes, searching for to-
