4 LONGER LIFE TO THEM.

Man finds that if he would live well and comfortably he must be careful and thoughtful. Just now he is finding out in this country that he must extend his care and thought to the increase of the life of telegraph and telephone poles. How important this problem is is indicated by the fact that there are S00,000 miles of telephone and telegraph lines in this country, requiring .S2, 900, ,O0O poles. The present life of each pole is so short that they must be renewed ap- proximately four times before trees suitable to take their places can be grown, A pole lasts in service about twelve years, on the average, but Is made from tree about sixty years old. In other words, to maintain continu- ous supply five times as many trees must be growing in the forest as there are poles in use. The severity of this drain upon forest resources by the tee- phone and telegraph companies is obvi- ous enough. Just as in the case of rall- road ties, the question of pole supply has thrust itself into prominence. To lengthen the life of poles, and in this way to moderate the demand and con- serve future supplies, has become an important matter affecting the public as well as private interests. So the Forestry bureau of our benevolent and beneficent government is going to study the question. It will experiment with trees cut at different periods of the year and treated with preservatives of varl- oas kinds in order to ascertain under what conditions poles will maintain their usefulness the greatest length of time.
 Long life to the telegraph and tele- phone pole. And long life to those who have much use of the wire thereof.

persons, chiefly lawyers, are desirous of knowing whether this vast power of making or marring the fortunes of pro- fessional men is vested in the Lord Chancellor subject to any conditions, limitations or restrictions, express or implied, or whether it may be adminis- tered according to his sole will and pleasure, as long as the precedents set by his predecessors are not greatly overstepped. The general belief seems to be that there is no trust, express or implied, nor any clearly defined rule of administration, but that this patronage is placed in the chancellor's hands to be disposed of as he thinks fit; but with | the tacit understanding that the bulk ot 1t shall go to the lawyers-first. to such of them as have deserved well of the party" and then to those who have deserved well of the public. What remains over becomes the perquisite of relatives or friends. The system is de- nounced as vicious one, and bold man says that if it is to be permitted to stand 1t ought at least to be systema- tized so that every one may know what places are set aside for the reward of merit, or party zeal, or personal friend ship.
 It will probably be some time in con- servative old England before the size of the Lord Chancellor is reduced, but it is perhaps well enough to have it meas ured.

4 WELCOME REST,

There have probably been few times in the history of this country when gladness was more general and con- spieuous in it than it is now. Every body seems to be glad that the fine young daughter of our noble President is married. We do not say married at last, because that might seem a little off the routine. But that is what we mean. The preliminaries have been un- commonly long, voluminous and com- plicated. The present business has been all that money and ingenuity could make it. The flummery has been most elaborate, and as artistic as could be expected. Now 1t is over, and the two most concerned have gone away to rest. Doubtless Father and President Roosevelt is resting. Mother Roosevelt certainly is. Those who got invita- tions are full of restful peace, and those who didn't are as peaceful as they can be, and glad that there is no more of it. And the great, generous and hearty United States public is also enjoying the situation. It has been made tired, and it needs the rest it is having.
 Rest, peace and no divorce to the young Longworths. They have had a hard time of it, and if such a wedding as they have had doesn't hold, it will be very discouraging.

4 BIG MAN.

There are some big men in this little world. One of them is the President of the United States. Another is the Lord Chancellor of England. Just now in England there is some interesting and important talk about the size of the Lord Chancellor. It is pointed out that his ecclesiastical patronage is very con- siderable, and that which is vested in him as the head of the law is enormous
 He appoints the five lords justices of appeal, the twenty-two justices of the high court, the sixty county court judges and occasionally the masters of the Supreme court and many minor off, cials. and the total of the salaries an- nexed to these offices is about $1, OOO a year. It is asserted that a great many

BENEVOLENT AND BENE1 rCENT.


 Every once in awhile somebody gets a little scared over pension possibilities in this country. Congressman Gardner of Michigan is one of the latest. He has figured the cost of the Civil war on the federal treasury at $6,O00, 100000, and estimates that before the last pen sioner on account of that struggle has passed away the government will have to spend another sum of equal amount, and those two amounts together equal three quarters of the wealth of the country when the war of the rebllion broke out. On the basis of previous figures of the pension office MT. Gard ner estimates that in 1928 there will be 100000 pensioners on the roll, even if there is no war during the next twen ty years to add to the number Mr. Gardner gives some figures based on the probable longevity of pensioners, which prove to his mind that in the year 1889 there will be sixty Civil war pensioners on the roll, or, to put it an- other way, child who was born on the 30th of June, 1905, and lives to be S3 years old will find sixty persons then drawing pensions from the government on account of a war that ended forty years prior to his birth.
 Why worry? The pension bill for the coming fiscal year carries an appropri- ation of only S14O,245,OoO, and there are other years. Meanwhile Uncle Sam continues to be rich enough to give us all farm, and when we have got everybody pensioned perhaps we can all go back to the soil.

A travellers tale is that Nang Hanu, a siamese city, home Of the royal fam fly, is a sort of municipal harem. Its population is composed of women and children alone. It is in the center of Bangkok, has high walls around it, and in it's population of nine thousand there is not a single man, though the King occasionally pays a visit. There are shops markets, temples, theaters, streets and avenues, parks, lakes, trees and flower gardens, a hall of justice, judges, executioner, police, generals and soldiers, all the positions, official and otherwise, being filled by women.

There were more than 1000 such deaths in H. linois in 1905, and of these 3,203 were in Chicago.

 Thereis permanent population in the territoryof Alaska. It can and will grow, but it will never grow so rap idly nor so powerfully under any system of government as under that Of home rule for Alaska by Aiaskans themselves.
 The men Of Alaska are almost with out exception natiTe-bOrn, white, American citizens, of the same fine and sturdy characte" that has made the states of the Union what they are since the children of the forefathers first left the settlements which fringe the At. lantic coast. The men of Alaska are entitled to and should receive every right and privilege that their fellow citizens under similar circumstances receive and exercise. Chief of these rights is sef-goYernment, not govern meut by commission. The Alaskans are free born and of good repute. They should be treated on the level. Alaska should, as far as possible, be allowed home rule.

 Public sentiment at large in the state of Waseington will side with Del agate Waskey rather than with Gov. Hoggatt in the matter of Alaskan leg islation.
 The views of the two men so far as they are in opposition to each other on this important subject are fairly typ ical of the official character of each. Gov. Hoggatt holds an appointive commission from the president. It is natural under the circumstances of his previous training and present holding of office that be should incline to gov ernment by commission. Delegate Waskey holds no commission by ap- pointment from the president of the United States. His very title implies his function. The people of Alaska hsve delegated to him the right to rep resent themselves and their views in the congress of the United States. Delegate Waskey speaks for the people of Alaska. He is one Of them.
 It is not intended to imply that Gov. Hoggatt is not also one Of the people of Alaska, but it is certain that, as be- tween the two men and their opinions
