SOCIALIST EQUALITY

A good story is told by the Victoria Week about well known Socialist leader who is supposed to be potent factor in provincial politics. A few days ago the gentleman in question went home to dinner expecting tt meet only his wife. As he sat down he noticed tbat the able was laid for three.
 Are you expecting anyone?" he asked his wife.
 No" she said: 'are you?" "No," was the reply.
 His wife thereupon went into the kitcien to make inquiries when she ~as informed by the cook, a white woman. that the third place was for heiseif as she intended dining with the family all times.
 Are you going to allow it" asked the Socialist husband.
 ''Certainly," said the wife.
 I've must either change OUT poli- tics or lose our cook. y Done. v said tue husband, and they est their cook.
 This is d delicious comment upon the insistent glamour of the Socialists for equality, and should be noticed hy those who would fain challenge the sincerity of Socialist leaders.

MODEST STATESMEN

Marked modesty. says a Washington newspaper correspondent, characterize es the write ups' given to them selves in the Congressional Directory by some of tue new senators and rep resentatives who came to Washington with famous reputations. For in- stance, Simon Guggenheim, the wealth. fest Senator, has written only seven lines about his career and does not once mention the word money in it.
 Guggenheim says he was educated in the public school of Philadelphia, and studied language in Europe" I" Then he married and engaged in the mining and smelling business. " That's about all.
 Jetf Davis is equally modest, occupy ing the same space in the Directory. He calls himself plain Jeff Davis. " At the age of l9 he was admitted to the ba" in Pope county, Arkansas. The balance of his autobiography is dry reading.
 Representative Richmond Pearson Hobson. by q curious coincidence, also fills seven lines in the Directory ir setting forth his history. He does not mention the Merrimac incident, al though he says he was educated at the Naval Academy and served in the navy from 1885 to 1903. He was elect. ed to the present Congress, ''receiv. ing s, 30s votes to l for Ignatius Green l Republican.
 Senator Taylor of Tennessee make: no mention of his ability as a fiddler, al though it is generally agreed that ht owes his success in politics to his skill with the catgut. The following para graph in his autobiography shows how closely the Taylors have been mixed up in Tennessee politics: "Repre sented the district in Congress repre- :. uted before him by his father, Ma thanel c. Taylor, and after him b, his brother, Alfred A. Taylor, the lat ter of whom he defeated for governor in 1985.
 The two longest stretches in the Directory are by Senator Chauncey NJ Depew and Senator William Pinckney Whyte. Each monopolizes practically an entire page in setting forth tnt interesting features ot his career.

AS TIE SECOND NAVAL POWEE
 The United States has the thirc navy of the world says Secretary Met. calf in his annual report, and it will have the second if the people insist.
 'Our manifest duty" he writes, is to be strong enough without spas modic transfers to defend our Atlantic and Pacific waters. :"
 The report shows nine battleships added to the navy since the last an- nual report, with a displacement oi l39, 192 tons, and four armored cruisers with displacement of IS, 4G0 tnus, or grand total added of 1SS, l29 tons. When the last report was made the total displacement of battleships and cruisers in commission was less than 160, eco tons, so that during this time the navy has more than doubled itself
 There are now under construction six more battleships displacing 10l, GOO tons, with two armored cuisers and three scout ships of 40, 250 tons displacement, and of these one battle snip and the five cruisers should be ready for service within six months.-
 The statement is made that the American navy boasts the most intel ligent and skilled enlisted force in the world. The secretary also quotes from foreign publication of authori- ty which states that at long range the United States fleet is superior to any other navy. As sea power we are certainly third, he says, and possibly second.
 And" he goes on, ''the second place will surely be ours if the people insist that congress authorize the ships and the co-ordinatiug personnel that will enable us to defend our two seaboards.

The Jamestown exposition was seen by ,, 800 GOO people, cf which number but l. .50o, 0O0 paid admission. The at- tendance averaged very small, from 3,00O to 5000, or not more than get out to see the wonders of the country fairs. The biggest day the attendance, paid and otherwise, ran about sixty thousand, hut there were few days ap- preaching this. As rule, to avoid being lonesome on the grounds, peo- pie had to travel in parties. The talk of continuing the exposition next year will end Tn talk. Many of the exhibitors say they have had enough {: there is no certainty that the govern ment would allow it's. exhibits, the hest feature of tbe show. to remain through the winter: many of the states are ready to demolish their buildings and pull out. And when all is said the best reason for not opening the exposition next year is the inn probability that it would be any bet ter or any better managed than it has been this year.

ROADS TO THE COAL FIELDS
 More than one or two railroads will tap the Katalla coal fields. Of this be assured. Where there are at least five hundred million tons of coal there will be business for all. Already two railroads are headed for the coal fields and another is projected. And there is strong probability that fourth will be in operation inside of twelve months. At least three of these roads will ship the coal they haul from Con- troller bay. Rest assured of that: and they will have all the advantages that accrue from short haul over level grades-factors that the road with a long haul and heavy gradients can not meet and overcome, ill competition, with either profit or success.
 As soon as the BerIng river coal fields are fairly opened up. which will be in the immediate future, they will give employment to large number of men, and as these coal fields are with in a few miles of Katalla it follows that this town will be the supply point of the mines and will reap the largest benefit from the coal industry of this section, which in the very nature of things, is de,tined speedily to reach magnificent proportions.

THE NEXT WORLDS FAIR (By Frank l.. Merrickl

HE NEAI Wokl4D S fAth
 (By Frank L. Merrickl
 Now that the Jamestown Ter-Cen- tennial Exposition has closed, all eyes are turned toward the next great worlds fair, the Alaska | Yukon-Pacific Exposition which will be held at Seattle. Washington, opening June l, and closing October l5, 1909.
 This exposition will be held in a section of the country where world' s fairs are new and for that and many other reasons it is expected to be a success, beneficially. educationally, artistically and financially. The Alas ka- \ ukon- Pacific Exposition will be the second worlds fair ever held west of the Rocky Mountains, the Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland, Ore gon, being the first.
 Work on the grounds and buildings of the exposition is well under way and the management is determined to have everything in readiness by open ingday. This has been written about all expositions in late years, but the promise has never been completely fulfilled. The officials of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, however, have started out with completed-on- opening-day idea above everything else, and if they do rot carry out their plan is will not be because western energy has not been expended in the task
 The Alaska ' ukon-P Pacific Exposi- tion promises to be different from former worlds fairs in many ways, but one policy stands out so far above any of the rest that the entire press oi the country Is commenting favorahly about it. No money will be asked from Uncle Sam to carry on the work That policy must be conceded as orig inal with the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific Exposition.
 All the management desires is fol the United States government to par, ticipate in the same manner as for eign countries and the different states. by erecting buildings and in- stalling therein exhibits. Former ex' positions have been aided by the gov ernment in many different ways. Out right gifts of large sums of money have been made by Congress to some world $ fairs, while others have nego- tiated loans from Uncle Sam, some or which were paid back and some O. which were not. Some exposition: have received both donations anC loans. As stated before the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition will k fol neither. A clause pledging this policy has been inserted in the congressiona bill making provision for particlpa. tion only. by Uncle Sam.
 Since the United States government began to patronize expositions dowr 10 the Jamestown fair. Congress ha: appropriated a total of s2s, 752, 25l for worlds fairs. Only s4S5, 900 of thi; money has been spent west of the Rocky Mountains, the Lewis an6 Clark exposition. one of the most sue cessful ever held, receiving the benefit of that amount.
 The bill which has been introduced in Congress provides an appropriation of sl, 175, GOO to enable Uncle Sam tC take advantage of the opportunity for effective advertising. The money will be apportioned as follows:

The Right Honorable Thomas Burns, of Canada. having annihilated Gun ner' Moir, his future movements are foretold with reasonable accuracy. The fly in Tommy's ointment is the fact that some day some one will land him somewhat harder punch than he has yet received, and his glory will vanish while the referee counts ten. After that, whether he goes or stays will not be matter of sufficient in- portance for any one to mention to his neighbor. For rapid transit there is nothing to be compared with the fame of defeated prizehghter.

The Goldfeld situation has taken on an ugly turn. The governor of Neya- da made request for federal troops because he was afraid of what might develop, and they have been sent on. nine companies of lem. The Goldfeld miners are, it is said, armed, to the number of l. l.000, and it is feared that there will be trouble. Trouble may be started, but with nine companies of regulars in the game it won't last long. It would be far wiser fur the miners, instead of starting trouble. to sell their rifles and put their powder back where they got it from. The advent of the soldiers follows the ex- pression of much surprise that they should have been called, but doubtless the governors step was due to the reputation of the Goidfield miners for turbulence II there had been any site troops available they would have been summoned. but there are DO state troops in Nevada, and to get force capable of coping with any disturbance that might arise the federal govern ment had to be called CD.

The showing of the banks through out the country is a srtong one and evidences that while some banks have departed from safe and conservative methods of doing business they have been the notable exceptions. The rule has been cautious and sane manage ment. Just now many of the banks have more cash than they have ever had. They have been strengthening their reserves and otherwise lmproy- ing ther positions, so as to be prepar- ed for emergencies. The issuance of clearing house certificates to serve in lieu of currency permitted them to foster their supplies of cash. The general strength of the statements is a gratifying feature and should be q considerable factor in improving the public's fIame of mind.

The fact that Chicago has decided not to have the bible taught in it's public schools is not an indication that the Windy City is goddess. It simply means that in Chicago $ schools there will be taught neither politics nor religion. The Chicago school board was of the opinion that a teacher. no matter how sincere would be unconsciously swayed by her ogn belief and hence could not impar- tially present the great truths of the bible in ordinary school work. There is greater safety in the public schools performing their legitimate functions without giving any heed 10 matters of faith.

A remarkable instance of loyalty of employees to employer is reported from Chicago. Henry N. Dawson, a mantel manufacturer, made bank de- posits enough to carry him through the financial panic TOW prevalent in the States. The money would have been better placed in the office safe. as the bank went under. His employ ees, on learning of his dilemma. came forward with about s6, 900 to meet payday, coupled with the assurance that more would be coming if needed to tide over the present difficulties It is rare indeed that an instance like the Chicago one is reported.

Everybody's picking on Tommy Burns, the British public because he is Canadian. and not an American, though he appears to have made no concealment of that fact, and lot of American pugilists for reasons that can be none other than jealousy. But why Burns should reap all the erili- cism being sent his way is difficult to figure out. As pugilistic figures go, he looks pretty good. He has met all corners, asked no favors and put forth the best that has been in him. His record is clear enough, but somehow he doesn't appear to be popular.

The report of Postmaster General Meyer favors parcel post that will carry eleven-pound packages at the rate of F cents per pound. A meas ure of protection is asked for the country merchant, however. to the extent that he may ship packages on rural routes at the rate Of five cents per pound for the first pound and for two cents for each additional pound up to eleven pounds Postal savings banks for deposits up to $500 are strongly urged. Mir. Meyer believes such institutions would do away with monetary stringency.
