Cam@d@'s Metropolis
Shows Fine Growth

In order to give you the latest Information as to
the new Montreal, | called upon the mayor. found
him in his Office in the city hall, a four-story light gray
stone building opposite the Franch market and not far
from the river. | heard nothing but Frech spoken as
| passed through the market on the way to the mayors
Office. There were notices printed in French pasted
side by side with the English notices in the Railways and
every door had a French and English sign over it. The
mayor was speaking in French to a delegation when l
entered, and | was not surprised to find that he himself
is Of French Canadian descent. His name is II. La
Porte, and in addressing him one calls hin Your Wor-
ship" Mayor La Porte speaks English as well as
French. About t~wo-thirds of the city over which he
rules is French, but the other third Is English, and the
business must therefore be conducted in both languages.
/ opened the conversation by asking hin to tell me
something about the Montreal of 1905. His worship re-
piled: Montreal is thriving as never before. 1t has
increased in population 10000 in the past five years.
1t has more than 100000 now, and it will soon have half
a million. We are taking in the suburbs Just as your
great cities have done. and are creating a Greater Mon
treal. We shal9 add several suburbs to the city today.
We have a large outside population. which is now gov
erned by its own little municipalities. Within a short
time these will all be a part of Montreal
Give me some idea of the character of your people,
your worship" said ].
Il believe we are the most cosmopolitan municipality
on the continent. About 20 per cent of us are French,
and a large part of the balance English Canadians. We
have also many Americans, Germans, Belgians, Italians,
Chinese and a great number of English, Irish and Scotch.
Our people are of all classes. We do an immense deal
of manufacturing. We are the Atlantic gate to Canada,
and a large proportion of our immigrants from Europe
pass through here. We are also a residential city, anu
a city of the rich. Many Canadians who have made
fortunes have made their homes here, and magnificent
homes. too. We have residences which have cost in
the neighborhood of a million dollars or more. This is
a city of many churches and many creeds. Indeed, it is
a world in itself, and it is a wonder that it is as quiet
and as orderely as it is."-Detroit Free Press.

How Tree Planting Pays

In New England there are many examples today
where land, once denuded of timber and being unfit for
tillage, has been permitted to raise another crop of tim
spruce or harder woods-and has proven to be
in a crop period of fifty years worth more to the farmers
estate than the same number of acres in crops. So
plentiful are these examples that there is no question to-
day but that a man can with certainty provide a hand
some legacy for a child by the growth Of a forest crop
of merchantable timber for him. Crops OF white pine
or spruce have been grown in Maine that in fifty years
have been worth $500 to $1,000 per acre, Nor has the
value of this crop al been deferred to the time of har-
yesting. Twenty acres of such a crop could well fur
nish a family a COCO fuel supply without at all impair
ing the value of The general crop. Nor does this take
account Of the groves landscape, nood-retarding or
wind-break value.
CLIFFORD Pinchott, chief of the United States Forestry
Service, states in a recent publication that at Urbana,
Ill, there is a t~hirty-hve year old plantation of European
larch CamaracJ good for posts. poles, ties, etc, that is
now worth SGl9 per acre; and another in southwestern
Minnesota, twenty-one years old, worth san per acre.
In North Dakota, he reports a cottonwood plantation
twenty-three years old that has grown 1885 worth of
lumber and fuel per acre; a white willow plantation
twenty-one years old in eastern South Dakota that is
worth now $500 per acre; Il southeastern Nebraska ca
talpa plantation that yielded $213 worth of fine posts
per acre in fourteen years, and another twenty years
old at Quincy, H., that Is now worth $3.50 per acre.

Presidential @ostmasaers

A recent special dispatch to the St Louis Globe
Democrat from Washington, d. c, says that the de-
termination of the administration to enforce a rule per-
hitting presidential postmasters to continue in office
beyond the four-year term, in the event that they have
proven efficient, has been received by republican sena-
tors with varying degrees Of emotion.
1t was brought out emphatically today that POST
master General Cortoiyou has decided to apply what
means in effect civil service reform in the appointment
of postmasters, and that where the term OF such an OH
cial has expired. he will be continued in the service, if
his record is reported to be good or excellent
THE statement was made several days ago that the
postmaster general contemplated the adoption of such
a policy, but at the time it was not believed that the
merit principle would be extended beyond the smaller
Offices. According to a department official, who speaks
with authority, the merit principle will be applied to the
larger as well as the smaller Offices.
while an official utterance on this point is not
forthcoming, it is known that President Roosevelt is in
hearty accord with Mr.. Cortelyou's new policy, which
is regarded in some quarters as revolutionary, and is
likely to create a serious breach between the admins
tration and a majority of the republican members OF
the house"
1t is quite probable, whether the administration
adopts the policy set forth in the foregoing dispatch
or not, that Albuquerques present postmaster will he
nominated as his own successor; but If the outlined
policy shall be confirmed, the continuance of Mr.. Hop
kins in Office is assured without possibility of doubt.
Nor should it he stated too positively that the pro-
posed policy will prove obnoxious to a majority of re-
publican representatives. This question of choice be-
tween applicants for postofice appointment has defeated
as many congressional aspirants as it has elected.

Demand for Honesty

The people of the country at large are increasingly
insistent that the old time, rugged, every day honesty
which characterized our fathers, alike in public and
private life, shall return to all positions of trust in
which the people are interested and to the occupancy
of all public Offices.
This country has many men holding both large and
small places, who have one standard of recttude for
their private life and another for the conduct of their
political holdings They graft in a manner to make
a thief blush. They find no sin or shame in forcing
political contributions from those below them, they ill
Offices with relatives down to the third generation with
the idea of extracting every pdlny OF profit possible,
they duck and dodge and evade laws that were enacted
fairs.
The president has set the seal of disapproval on the
conduct of public office for personal ends, while recent
events have shown an awakening of public sentiment
and a desire TO put an end to a system of betrayal and
swindling which takes SO much and gives so little in
return.

The American ARMY

The report of Secretary of War Taft, made public
today, shows that on October 10, 1906, the army of this
country had the following strength and distribution:
United States, $500 officers, 42,6S2 enlisted men
Philippines, 739 officers, 11,164 enlisted men; Porto
Rico, 3 officers, 5 enlisted men; Hawaii, II officers
1873 enlisted men; Alaska, SO officers, 992 enlisted men
miscellaneous and en- route, 1872 officers and 1883 enlisted
men. This gives a total of $3.50 officers and 56,064
enlisted men, or an average of one officer to a small
fraction less than fifteen men. This is a total net
decrease during the year of 1863.
Besides these there are 9,O29 enlisted men of the
hospital corps, % officers and 552 men Of the Porto
Rico regiment. and 115 officers and 5O59 men in the
Philippine scouts.
During the year ended June 80. 155 second lieutenants
were appointed. III being from West Point, but from
present appearances it seems doubtful whether all OF
the present graduating class can be provided for. Be
cause of this and other facts, Secretary Taft recommend
an increase in the number of officers. There are al
present 80 officers assigned as instructors at state col
leges.

Constant reader inquiries why the Equitable calls
itself an Assurance" instead of an Insurance COM
pany, says an exchange. The answer is found in any
good dictionary. The definitions of assurance inter-
preted in the light of Equitable disclosures, make the
reason quite clear. The commonest synonyms for "as-
surance' are %boldness, impudence, gall" impertinence
presumption. arrogance, efrontery, audacity, self asser-
ton. The Century dictionary further defines "assur-
ance' as "a formal or earnest statement intended 10
produce belief or conyicition-a positive declaration in
tended to give confdence-freedom from timidity or
bashfulness-exces of boldness.' The STANDARD, die
tonary gives the additional definition of Assurance
as "a vicious courage, with belief in ones ability TO out
wit or defy others" All this ought to make it quite
clear TO any mind why the Equitable very properly calls
itself an assurance company.

The absurdity Of the threadbare objection TO state
hood for New M-exico-based on the fact that a minority
OF her Older people do not speak English-is plainly
demonstrated in an article in the adjoining column, on
Montreal, the metropolis of Canada. The English con-
quered Canada from The French a great many years
before the United States conquered New Mexico from
Mexico, yet today more than two thirds of the people
in Montreal, Canada's greatest city, and a larger pro-
portion in the provinces OF Quebec, speak the French
language, while all public business is carried on in both
languages and with Interpreters. The objection to New
Mexico is both feigned and foolish; but 1t shows that
il congress is now willing TO let us in, We had best jump
at the chance regardless of any imposed conditions.

New Mexican: During a recent soiourp In the

newspapers in that town. One of these, the Leader,
made him say things in his interview, concerning Dele
gate w. II. Andrews, which he did not say. Mr.. Nc
Nary went after that paper in hot haste and with char
acteristic western energy, and the day following his
interview the Leader published a crawl back which
the New Mexican takes pleasure in reproducing. II is

papers in Pittsburg and in Philadelphia, which "have

and false accusations against him, because they were
