Great Demand For Stuart.

There was great demand upon
Chairman Andrews, of the Republican
stete committee. for meetings to be
addressed by Candidate Stuart, and
as far as possible an effort was made
to meet every reasonable request for
such meetings.

appointment of Colonel Daniel p.

ers that Colonel Shepp is confident he
will have to speak for the whole Re-
publican ticket in this state this fall.
Colonel Shepp has been in communi-
cation with Chairman Sherman of the
Republican National Congressional
Committee. and has been advised that
q number of national celebrities will be
assigned to speak in this state. Re-
publicans realize that the skirmish
of the next presidential campaign is
now going on.
The loyalty of Republicans every
where must be appealed to, that they
shall not be misled by the cry for fu-
sion candidates, with the declarations
that there is no national significance
to the canvass in this state this fall.
Emery and his supporters are busy
with arguments that this is simply a
local fight. but when the Garmans. the
Guffeys. the Donnellys and the Ryans

What Is the Northwest Passaee7
From Review OF Reviews.

This northwest passage may b.
briefly explained. The long coasts Of
the mainland are not clogged. like those
ON many other, polar shores, with ice
coast is low, the tundra behind It is
only a little higher thar h sea, and
conditions are not favorable for the
formation and flow of glaciers. Ice
bergs, therefore, are not found, be-
cause in the Arctic they are merely
the broken-off end Of glaciers.
But from thirty to forty miles north.
point of the continent, stretches the
great barrier of sea ice, with hum
mocks and ridges thrust. by pressure,
from twenty to fifty feet above the gen.
eral level, so that when McClure's In
vestigator got into the heavy foe the
ice sometimes rose around her as high
as the yardarms. AZ no islands inter-
vene for hundreds of miles east Of Ber-
Ing sea to protect the coast from the
polar pack. why is 1t h a this heavy
ice Is not forced down upon the shores?
1t is because the coastal waters are
comparatively shallow and h sea ice
grounds miles away; and farther east
the coasts of the mainland are pro-
tected from the sea ice, not only by
shallow water, III also by the islands
that extend almost continuously from
Banks Land to the Atlantic end of Hud,
SON Strait.
So the ice along the coast is of the
winters formation, and in summer 1t
disappears entirely or is SO narrowed
by melting as to leave channels of
greater or less width hat are navig-
able for two or three months. The fact
is, as Lieutenant Wheeler, of our rev.
enue cutter service recently said, this
northwest passage has been made time
and time again by the overlapping Of
the tracks of vessels between the At
lantic and tho Pacific. San Francisco
whalers have already pushed far east
ward beyond the Mackenzie delta and
the mouth of the Coppermine river.
Collinson, during the Franklin search,
took his vessel eastward through these
channels almost to the very waters
from which the Gjoa started last sum-
mer, and a short sledge journey farther
east brought him within sight Of King
William Land, but he little dreamed
that the bodies of many Of the men
he was seeking We're scattered along its
shores.
In time his route may be of some i'm
portance. Mineral resources have been
found along the northern edge Of Can
ada, and some day they will be de-
veloped. This water route is by nc
means ideal. but, to some extent, 1t will

Mourning for Divorces.

From the New York American.
divorces are becoming so frequen
that it will soon be necessary to draw
up an entirely new code of the rules
of etiquette iii connection herewith.
Thus just at present people are dis
GUESSING the extent to which the death
of a divorced husband should be no
ticed by his former Wife. There seems
to be Il pretty general consensus of
opinion that the touch of purple which
Mrs. Travers has impaired either to
her hats or to her gowns. or to both,
since the beginning of the season, con-
stitutes all that is necessary In the
way of q tribute to the man whose
name she continues to bear. and who
met with such q tragic end last fall.
Purple is one of the mourning colors.
1t constitutes the expression of a grief
less intense than that implied by black.
Widows weeds would be obviously out
of place on the part of a divorce, in
the event of the demise of her former
husband. But society has come TO the,
conclusion that if the dame still con-
tinueS 10 bear the name of her former
husband after the dissolution of the
union. some token of respect becomes
necessary In the event of his DEATH.
Thus, though everybody sympathized

connection with h treatment to which.

The Great Family Fortunes of America.

The Great Family Fortunes of America.
h great fortunes hat have sprung
up so amazingly in this country during
recent decades today, in the opinion of
many serious thinkers, constitute a
menace to our national w~ell-being, says
Cleveland Moffett, in writing of The
Shameful Misuse of Wealth." in Sue
cess magazine. Without these great
fortunes there would be no reign of
luxury in America, no Haunting of
feasts and follies, no riot of %extrava-
gance; with them we may expect all
the evils that have in previous civiliza-
tons attended upon enormous riches.
And many of these evils, as we have
already seen, are actually with us.
1t is admitted that we are the richest
people in the world today-the richest
people the world has ever seen. The
vaunted wealth of Croesus is estimated
at only SS,000,000, but there are seventy
American estates that average $35, 000,-
900 each. AS showing the rapid growth
of individual fortunes in this country
there is interest in a list Of rich men
printed in 1855, according to which
New York City at that time boosted
only twenty-eight m~illionaires. And a
pamphlet some years earlier says that
in 1916 Philadelphia could show only
ten estates valued at a million or more.
the richest being that of Stephen
Girard, which reached 1900, 900. In
contrast to which in 1892 there were
over 200 millionaires in Philadelphia.
AS to New York City, the number OF
its ~millionaires. according to best in
formation. is owe 1000. while the num-
Der of m~illionaires in the United States
is at least 5000. or half the total num-
Der in the world. There is one family
alone, at the head of which stands the
richest and most powerful man in the
world, John D.. Rockefeller. and the
wealth of this family is estimated at 81
thousand million dollars, a sum so huge
that the human mind quite fails to
grasp it, a sum SO huge that if at the
birth of Christ Mr.. Rockefeller had be-
u making a dollar a minute and had
let all these dollars accumulate day
md night for all these centuries. he
would not yet, in 1906, have amassed
a thousand million dollars. And if Mr..
Rockefeller should today urn his
wealth into gold coin and take it out
of the country, say int Canada. he
would carry across the border three
times as much gold as would then re-
main in the United States. Nor would
he carry 1t himself. for the weight Of
1t would be 1850 tons. And If he load
ed it on the backs of p~orters, each man
bearing his own weight i'm solid gold
(say $50 pounds), 1t would require
$4,000 men to move it. And II they
