ing for the pot of gold that rests in the Funeral range"
ANorHER HoNEsr oApIroI.

In these days of the Pennsylvania State capitol it is pleasing to record that capitols can be and are built with out extravaganza or fraud, or both. The Minnesota Capital Commission has, aft CT fourteen years of service, turned over to the governor the completed cap itol, And it is proudly said that the chief glory o@ the undertaking is that it has been found as free from stain Tor blemish as the virgin marble from which the building has been reared. No smirch of questionable dealing or even of carelessness that permitted others to gain at the expense of the State at tachesto the commissions work, though it has served fourteen years and let contracts covering over four millions of dollars
 Glory enough. The same kind of glory that shed it's lustre over the build ing of Connecticut's capitol, Of course it will have to be sadly admitted that an honest capitol doesn't insure the honesty of all the deeds done in it, but it cannot be denied that it is a great and good thing to have the cap 1tol honest.

MrAN M4ssAcHrsEr7s MAN

The Ohio woman who got a divorce because her husband didn't appreciate her literary efforts did well, if divorce is right for such cause, and some think it is. In the same way a Massa- chusetts woman is doinE well because in her application for divorce she has put in as a final indictment in the long series of complaints against her hus- band the charge that on one occasion he gathered up the very nice pork chops which she had prepared for din- ner and threw them out of the window. She said that this was not because he had anything in particular against the pork chops, but 1t was just his mean disposition.
 It Is possible, we suppose, that this mean husband of Massachusetts has had what he considers too many pork chops. But even if this is SO he had no business to make such an exhibi- tion His wife knew what was good for him better than he did, and she may not have been as tired of pork chops as he may have been. Before he gets through he will heartily wish he hadn't thrown those pork chops away

THE ASSERTING AND DEyYIN c.

It Is somewhat hard to keep track of the assertions and denials nowadays, but one of the latest denials is that of Senator Penrose, who says of the pub lished report that he told at dinner the story of rich mems conspiracy" to prevent the selection of President Roosevelt's choice of a successor to himself: Tt Is absolutely an untruth. I have never said any such thing. It is all untrue. have always been a sup porter of and believer in President Roosevelt's administration and all its policies" And Frank L. Barstow, a Standard Oil company director, says the story that Standard Oil and asso- ciated interests had raised fund of S5,- OOOO0O to prevent the nomination of President Roosevelt's choice is simply absurd,
 So we have had President Roosevelt accused of trying to down the rich men, and the rich men accused of try ing to down" him. Both accusations have been denied. and there you are until the next story.

PROUD 9ND RAPPT SPBLLERS.
 The Simple, or, as they prefer to be called, the simplihed Spoilers, are proud and happy because Ambassador Bryce has endorsed them and their movement. Speaking in no sense off, cially or semi-officially, but merely ex- pressing his own personal opinion, he says that te has long felt that the time must come when those who use the English language will have seriously to consider the necessity of bringing our spelling into closer accord with our pronunciation. He recognizes and ad- mits all the difficulteg-they arc un- deniably great-that lie in the way of such a reform. But the advantages to be gained outweigh those difficulties. l One of them is the enormous saving that would be effected in the time spent 1 by children in learning to read and spell. Another is the swift and wide extension that would be given to the use of English as a means of inter course all over the world, by foreign nations, as we'll as by the American and British people in their dealings with 1 foreigners. Sooner or later the ques- ton must be faced What particular reforms to propose Is doubtless a mat ter requiring much thought and pro- longed discussion. But we cannot be- gin too soon to consider the subject se- Iriousy, fo, it will take a great deal of time and pains.
 This is certainly good boost, and the simplified Spoilers are justified in their joy over it. They are making such progress in other directions that they are also justified in more joy.

0HIO FOR T4 FT.

Two interesting reports come from Ohio concerning the Taft sentiment in that State. The Ohio State Journal as- sures the world that "the battle for the Presidency, as far as Ohio is con- cerned, is won, and the man who wins is William H. Taft. There seems to be no other candidate, and all public sen timent is setting toward him. This public sentiment didn't have much trouble in working its way In that dl- rection for at the very start MT Taft enjoyed the confidence of the people of Ohio. They have known him to be the sort of man they want for President. They know him to be an able, honest, bossless man, and a strong exponent of the Presidents policy of the square deal. They know the President would like to see him his successor"
 A New York Times correspondent, writing from Columbus, says: The State is for Taft That much is about as certain as anything can be- It does not mean that the State will be for Taft in the convention. The odds are against that. The machine is against Taft, and he starts with heavy handi- cap. What Is meant is that the sen- tlment of the voters is for Taft, and that if they were left to themselves and l could vote as they chose, membranes ed by any other considerations, Taft would sweep the State by about hun dred to one.
 It Is hard to believe that with the sentiment such as 1t is politicians can succeed in defeating It in the State con- vention. So hard to believe that it will be well enough not to believe if until we have to-

In an article on the resources of Me- vada and the Death Valley region a western paper says that Mount Blanc, approximately 1,50O feet high and two miles In diameter, is a mass of pure borax. It is the property of one man.
 Frank M. Smith. of Oakland, owns this mountain absolutely, and thereby con- trols the visible supply of borax in the world. The market value of this de- posit of borax where 1t lies is some thing more than $1OO a ton. Experts estimate that the mountain has at least three billion tons of borax in 1t. At $1Oo a ton the value of this mountain can be computed in billions. This mountain, standing at tine north end of the Funeral range within stones throw of Death Valley, says the writer, "makes Smith easily the richest man in the world, from a point of resources. But this borax deposit is merely lln-

Even the rich United States can't have everything it wants right off The Navy department is having hard time obtaining flreboat which Is wanted at the naval torpedo station at Newport Diligent search has been made by the representatives of the department at New York and other places for suit able vessel, but nothing has yet been found, and nearly year has been ex- pended in the search. It was first de- sired to have a ferry boat, and then the idea was conceived of having Q vessel which would answer he purposes of transportation and at the same time af- ford means of protection against fire. The Navy department some time ago allotted fund for this purpose, but nothing has been found which meets all the requirements. Last week a board visited Baltimore. having found nothing in New York, and there Is still nothing which meets with the approval of the authorities.

The new small-caliber gun was tried against mounds of snow. re.rtnd mounds fifteen feet in diameter and six feet high wooden figures were placed Against these targets the in- fantry fired and the new bullets went right through, hitting the targets with out losing any of their power. The flg- ures were riddled, only the wooden
