Scotland has struck for home rule On the heels Of

the rehabilitation Of the old capital at Edinburgh

affairs and the power to impose taxes FOR local pur

public opinion Of Scotland but to be the idea Of ono

Nothing could stimulate the Just demand Of
Ireland for local parliament as similar movement

It is evident that this time has come for both
Ireland and Scotland. The imperial parliament cannot
find the time to properly do its imperial work The
present session has been marked by more arbitrary
applications Of the closure than ever before tho the
liberal party Is pledged to free speech It is stern

The construction Of dramas has heretofore been
too much in the hands Of managers and actors who,
having low taste themselves, imagine the public

Oh. the Roman was a rogue,

He ran his AUTOMOBILES
And smoked his cigarettum;
He wore diamond studibus,
And elegant cravattum,
ANmaxina cum laude shirt,
And such stylish hatturn-
He loved the luscious hic- -haec-hock.
And bet on games and equt;
At times he won; at others, tho,
He got 1t in the neQqf;
He winked quo usQue tandem
At puellas on the Forum,
And sometimes even made
Those goo-goo oculorum.
He frequently was seen
At combats gladitortal,
And ate enough to feed
Ten boarders at Memorial;
He often went sprees,
And said, on starting honnus,

The Aleuts on the Seal Islands.

a MEMBER Of the house committee, who chooses
"a to remain anonymous, in interview with
The Journals Washington correspondent crtieizes Sec
retary Root severely for undertaking to bring about
agreement to stop pelagic sealing in Behring sea.
He objects because he thinks this is going to be
very profitable arrangement for the North American
Commercial company and at the OF the natives
of the Aleutian islands.
Evidently this member Of the house committee on
appropriations thinks that the people in the employ OF
the company who kill the seals natives Of the
Prbylov islands and have first right to the seals The
Prbylov islands had inhabitants prior to their dis
covery by the man whose they bear. The Rus

who live on the islands now are the descendants OF
people taken from the Aleutian islands to the Prbloy
islands for the purpose Of killing seals for the Russian
company having the sealing rights They were housed
in dugouts and sod houses called barrabes, samples
of which still to be found the islands and are
little better than caves.
With the acquisition Of the islands by the United
States and the granting Of the sealing privilege to an
American company, it provided that the natives
should be furnished with better homes and the village
in which they live St. Paul island, the larger Of

diton Of these Aeuts is certainly vastly better than

It is true that the island is not visited by COM
mercial ships except those Of the company having the
concession but this is provision made by the govern
ment for the purpose Of keeping poachers out of the
fisheries conceded to the company The natives have
no facilities for leaving the islands in large numbers
but the islands visited frequently by the

residence to make complaint Of their condition they
have opportunity.

been perpetrated during the last few
weeks. Cook is an employe of the

thugs He was passing lumber pile
near the corner of Kentucky and Mari

jumped out in front of him. One of
them showed a revolver in his face and
ordered him to throw UP his hands. The
man with the weapon was the taller OF
the two assistants. and wore black
mask over his face, while his compan-
ion had a handkerchief bound over his
features below his eyes.

money gold railroad watch and a gold
chain valued at $50, and a diamond ring
worth $50 which Cook wore on the
chain. Their search completed. the
men ordered Cook to continue on his
way without looking around, and kept
him covered with the revolver as long
as he remained in sight.
Cook hurried at once to the nearest
telephone, when he called up the Po-
trero police station and gave a minute
description of the two criminals. Ser
